| editor’s letter | 

As much as I love my family, sometimes 

a weekend away with girlfriends is 

essential. Last month, I did just that 

with four of my closest childhood gal 

pals. Though distance, marriage, and 

momhood have attempted to pull us 

apart, our roots are so deeply established that the 

friendship continues to grow as time ticks on. 

Maybe it’s because we watched each other 

grow up—from the pubescent years of braces, 

bad acne, and embarrassing haircuts into the 

confident, wise women we are today; perhaps 

it’s because we know, and accept, everything 

about one another (the good, the bad, and 

the awkward); or maybe it’s because we’ve 

supported each other through breakups, 

health scares, significant life changes, and loss. 

Whatever the reason for our strong bond, once a year, we leave our husbands and 

babies behind and get away together for good food, good times, and good wine. 

Speaking of the latter, our most recent trip was a staycation (for me) that, naturally, 

included adventuring to some of our area’s wonderful wineries. Wondering where 

I took my friends—and where you should take yours, too? All the places mentioned 

in this month’s feature, “Wine Time!” are a “grape” place to start. Turn to page 54 for 

tasteful tasting rooms, vineyards with a view, spots where you can sip while also 

savoring a meal, and more. My out-of-town guests were beyond impressed with 

the amazing vino (particularly the petite sirahs and bold barberas), state-of-the-art 

spaces, and stunning scenery. 

Something else I was proud to show my forever friends? All the farm-to-fork 

flavors found ’round town on almost every menu. From cocktails made with justpicked 

peaches to pizza topped with slow-roasted sweet corn and cherry tomatoes, 

we were hard-pressed to find a meal made without something locally grown—and 

even checked out a farmers’ market (for a list of regional ones, flip to page 86). 

But the most exciting (and my personal favorite) 

“Be slow 

expedition was exploring a handful of farm-tobottle 

breweries—places that grow their ingredients 

to fall into 

(hops, honey, mandarins, and more) on-site. Check 

friendship, out “Good Beer Hunting” (page 84) for a roundup of 

but when 

where to find these hidden, home-grown gems— 

with recommendations on what to try. 

you are in, 

Did my friends and I do anything else besides 

continue eat and drink? Does talking, laughing, and lounging 

firm and 

by a pool count? It may not have been a weekend 

of intense workouts, but it was a weekend that 

constant.” 

reminded me how incredibly fortunate I am to have 

—Socrates 

true (and super fun!) friends and to live in a place I 

feel proud to call home. Cheers!

?“I like the delicate flavor and bubbles in 

sparkling wine, especially prosecco. Plus, 

it's perfect for light, summery drinks like 

a bellini or Aperol spritz.” 

—Jennifer Maragoni 

What's your 

favorite 

type of beer 

or wine? 

“I love a dry yet fruity sauv blanc or crisp 

albariño, especially during the summer. 

But if you take me to a brewery, it’s a 

hazy IPA for the win!” 

—Bella Nolen 

“I love a hazy IPA as much as the next guy, 

but nothing beats the creaminess of a 

stout when I want to sit back and enjoy 

the summer alongside a tasty drink.”— 

Ray Burgess 

“I always say that anything is possible 

with a bottle of rosé and friends!” 

—Theresa Arnold-Hale 

“In the fall and winter, it's absolutely a 

buttery chardonnay, but lately I've been 

really into rosé. It's refreshing in warm 

weather and perfect for just about any 

occasion, with or without food. What's not 

to love?”—Caitlin McCulloch 

“Over several years of drinking wine, I’ve 

come to the conclusion that the anise 

tasting note is my favorite characteristic, 

which is commonly found in nebbiolo (an 

Italian red-wine grape).”—Gary Zsigo 

“I love a good pinot noir (my current 

favorite is Meiomi)—one that’s 

well-rounded, velvety smooth, and fruitforward 

with a memorable finish.” 

—Debbie Juhos

Folsom broke ground on Prospector Park and Fire Station 

34—two highly anticipated projects in Folsom Ranch. 

Prospector Park, located at 4578 Sparrow Drive, will feature a 

multi-use sports field, lighted ball field, sports courts, picnic

El Dorado, among many 

others. The 530 area code 

is projected to run out of 

available prefixes during the 

third quarter of 2025; the 

837 area code will ensure 

telephone numbers continue 

to be available to meet the 

demand while minimizing 

customer inconvenience.

flair for 60 

years—passed away in June 

at the age of 90. Known for 

his friendly demeanor and 

contagious smile, Snook was 

a loving husband to his late 

wife of 63 years, Jeannine, and 

is survived by six children. 

Rest in peace, John!

Back-to- 

School Cool 

Tips for a Smooth Transition 

by JENNIFER RESNICKE 

The end of summer break is fraught with conflicting emotions, but 

one thing has always been true of the back-to-school season: It’s a 

tough transition. To help families make the switch from summer fun 

to focused academics, we asked local experts for their top tips to 

help students of all ages. 

REST IS BEST 

Though quality sleep is 

important year-round, the 

long days of summer sunshine 

and lack of routine tend to 

send sleep schedules sliding, 

especially for teenagers. 

Tip #1: Reestablish Routines 

For younger kids, start bumping 

up bedtimes (and wakeup times) 

by 15-20 minutes a day a few 

weeks before school starts— 

until kids are going to sleep and 

waking up when they need to for 

the school year. 

Make older kids part of the 

process by asking how long they 

think they need to get ready and 

then doing some “trial runs” the 

week before school, ensuring 

they factor in time to eat 

breakfast, catch the bus, etc. 

Kathryn Buchan, a counselor 

at Buljan Middle School, says 

that “reestablishing a good sleep 

routine—where kids are getting 

9-13 hours of sleep a night—is 

especially important for middle 

schoolers.” 

The exact number of hours 

of sleep recommended for each 

developmental stage varies, so 

be sure to consider your child’s 

individual needs and reach out 

to their pediatrician for advice.

Spotlight on Illustrators 

by JENNIFER MARAGONI 

Think of your favorite children’s book, concert poster, or graphic 

T-shirt. Most likely, you love it not only for what it says, but for the 

images it bears. Those images are often the work of illustrators, 

whose job is to enhance text with original artwork. These local 

illustrators share a lifelong love of drawing but took unique paths to 

turn their passion into a profession. 

Sharon Fujimoto- 

Johnson 

sharonfj.com 

Sharon Fujimoto-Johnson has been making art 

her whole life. While recovering from cancer 

during the pandemic, the Roseville resident realized 

her dream of writing and illustrating children’s 

books. An agent discovered her on Twitter and 

her first picture book, The Mochi Makers, will hit 

shelves next year. 

How did your first book come about? 

During my recovery, I suffered major complications 

that rendered me unable to eat by mouth. During 

that time, I thought a lot about where food, family 

stories, and love intersect. This inspired me to write 

The Mochi Makers, a heartfelt story about Japanese 

rice cakes, immigrant family stories, and love. 

What mediums do you work in? 

Traditional mediums like gouache, acrylic, and 

pencil, as well as 

digital collage. I 

created the art in 

The Mochi Makers 

by digitally layering 

pencil drawings, 

digital paintings, 

hand-painted papers, 

family photographs, 

heirloom kimono 

fabrics, and kitchen 

cloths embroidered by 

my grandmother. 

What inspires you? 

Family stories, 

kindness, poetry, 

beauty, wonder in 

the natural world, 

and the joie de vivre 

of children. I’m also 

inspired to tell stories 

that will nudge readers’ 

hearts open a bit and 

leave a positive impact 

in the world. My second 

book, Shell Song, is 

inspired by the shells my 

grandfather collected 

in a Japanese-American 

incarceration camp in 

Hawaii during World 

War II. 

What do you 

wish more people 

understood about 

illustration? 

A picture book, though 

seemingly simple and 

small, is a work of art 

created by an authorillustrator, 

or author and 

illustrator, plus an entire 

team of people. When a 

reader holds one of my 

books in their hands, 

they’re holding my whole 

heart and the work 

of many people who 

believed in that book. 

Nate Reifke 

saltytimbers.com 

When Nate Reifke 

was in college, 

a skateboard company 

saw some T-shirts he 

designed for the UC 

San Diego surf team 

and hired him to 

design skateboards, 

launching his career. 

His clients include many 

well-known brands, 

including Red Bull, Reef, 

and Patagonia. As a 

commercial illustrator, 

the Pollock Pines-based 

artist says his job is “to 

be chameleon and make 

whatever people need.” 

How do you view 

your role as an 

illustrator? 

To listen and learn first. 

The hope is to make 

something that speaks 

for a brand authentically 

so people will genuinely 

connect with it and 

adopt it as their own. 

What mediums 

do you work in? 

Mostly pen and pencil, 

but I also really enjoy

watercolor. The 

last couple 

of years, I’ve 

been using 

an iPad a 

lot, because 

so much of 

my work is 

for screen 

printing; 

working 

digitally speeds 

up the process and 

allows me to make 

much cleaner files. 


Nature—the textures and 

colors, and the seasons in the 

mountains. But probably and 

more importantly, I'm inspired 

by people who say “f--- it” and 

do their own thing. We can all 

learn from people who see the 

world a little differently. 

What do you wish more 

people understood 

about illustration? 

That [illustrators] don't have 

full control over their own 

creativity. I've learned ways 

to coax it out, but I've had 

to adapt and recognize the 

ideas worth pursuing and 

the ones I need to let go of. 

Brian Wallace 

brianwallaceart.com 

As a young boy, 

Folsom artist 

Brian Wallace carried 

around a small 

notebook to sketch 

family members. 

Art was his favorite 

subject in school; after 

college, he was hired 

as an art director for a 

large company. “It was 

there that I found the 

opportunity to bring 

together my artistic 

abilities and passion for 

illustration.” Wallace’s 

work is familiar around 

Folsom. He designs the city’s 

annual Community Service 

Day T-shirt, illustrates labels 

for Red Bus Brewing Co., and 

sells his prints, stickers, cards, 

and books at Ruby’s Books. 

What mediums do you 

work in? 

Much of my work is digital 

illustration, which provides 

a lot of flexibility. However, 

my process typically begins 

with a sketch on paper, 

allowing me to explore and 

refine concepts. 

How do you describe 

your style? 

It’s uniquely me. People tell 

me they can spot my work 

from a mile away, and that's 

a great feeling! I think it's 

because I use simple shapes, 

clean lines, and vibrant 

colors. 


Nature, landscapes, and 

travel. Capturing the essence 

of a place and making it 

relatable is a fundamental 

starting point. As a 

California native, many of 

my recent creations have 

been inspired by the beauty 

of my home state. However, 

inspiration also emerges 

from the joy of sharing 

something captivating with 

others. 

Josh Nash 

joshuanashillustrates.com 

Roseville resident Josh 

Nash has been drawing 

for as long as he could hold a 

pencil. In 2004, he was hired by 

Scholastic Books to illustrate 

a series of chapter books 

called The Kids of Einstein 

Elementary. His current 

work includes an illustrated 

map of Old Town Auburn 

and a comic strip series on 

Instagram called Harriswood 

(@harriswoodcomic). Nash 

draws with black pencil, 

adding color with digital 

watercolor brushes. 

How do you view your 

role as an illustrator? 

To tell the part of the story 

that isn’t included in the text. 

Every part of an illustration 

can be enlisted to fill in the 

blanks left by the author. 

How do you describe 

your style? 

I don’t know how to describe 

it, because it’s simply what 

falls out of my pencil when I 

sit down to draw, but I know 

it has something to do with 

having been raised on Peanuts, 

Calvin & Hobbes, and Disney 

movies. 


Character and humor. When 

I create something, I want to 

end up meeting someone new 

and interesting who is going to 

give me a few chuckles along 

the way. 

What do you wish more 

people understood about 

illustration? 

The more effortless a drawing 

appears to be, the more 

excruciating it was to make!

The ABCs of 

Learning Difficulties 

by MELISSA STRAND 

When you suspect your child has 

a learning difficulty, it can feel 

overwhelming. Luckily, local experts have 

some actionable advice to help families 

spot the early signs, ensuring children are 

properly diagnosed and receive sufficient 

support to set them up for success. 

EARLY INTERVENTION IS KEY 

If a child receives help for their specific 

needs early in life, the chances for 

learning and progress will be greater, 

says Jennifer Stockslager, licensed 

educational psychologist and owner 

of Developing Minds Psychology 

(developingmindspsychology.com). 

"Parents know their children the best, so 

as soon as you suspect difficulties, speak 

with their pediatrician and teachers. 

Some children may need short-term 

intervention and others may need more 

intensive long-term support.” 

Also, don’t underestimate the timing 

and effort it takes to see the progress 

in early interventions. Natalie Powell, 

certified dyslexia specialist, educational 

therapist, and owner of Natalie LP 

Therapy (natalielptherapy.com), says: 

“Early intervention providers focus 

on strengthening the weak processing 

areas that cause academic or functional 

difficulty. Therapy activities often appear 

simple, but don’t be fooled; new brain 

pathways are being built and that’s hard 

work.” Give your child grace, compassion, 

and time to grow at their pace during 

this process.

KNOW THE SIGNS 

Often, learning difficulties are not 

identified or incorrectly labeled, 

so knowing what to look for helps 

teachers and parents get kids the 

help they need. “Some early signs 

that children are struggling may 

include difficulty reading, doing math, 

paying attention, following directions, 

regulating emotions, and/or acting 

out,” shares Stockslager. Keeping an 

eye on these areas could lead to extra 

support and advocacy for your child, 

in and out of the classroom. 

One of the more common struggles, 

dyslexia, can be recognized in many 

ways. Marci Peterson, board certified 

educational therapist and author 

of The Dyslexia Guide for Adults 

(marcipetersonet.com), shares that 

“dyslexia is the most common cause 

of reading and spelling struggles and 

is a neurological condition in how the 

brain processes language. A younger 

student might struggle to sound 

words out; while an older elementary 

student may start guessing at words, 

have trouble comprehending what 

they read, and be poor spellers. An 

adult with dyslexia typically is a slow 

reader, a poor speller, and has a tough 

time pronouncing complex words or 

composing written correspondence.” 

When it comes to diagnosing 

dyslexia, Powell adds that “red flags 

in elementary school include trouble 

memorizing sight words, trouble 

with phonics, slow or inaccurate 

sounding out, poor spelling, and 

reversing numbers, letters, or whole 

words. In middle and high school, 

these accumulated gaps cause 

problems with reading speed and 

comprehension, and the ability to 

memorize verbal information by rote.” 

SEEK SUPPORT 

Meeting with your child’s teacher and 

school district to discuss an Individual 

Education Plan (IEP) can get them on 

track to have the necessary support 

and accommodations in a school 

setting, ultimately allowing your child 

to thrive. In addition, consultations 

and evaluations with your child’s 

pediatrician and licensed specialists 

and psychologists can provide formal 

tools and plans to implement at 

home. “If your child is struggling 

with literacy-related skills and you 

suspect dyslexia, email your principal 

to request a psychoeducational 

evaluation, or seek a private dyslexia 

evaluation. Doing so will entitle them 

to accommodations, such as extra test 

time and a reduced homework load,” 

suggests Powell. 

AT-HOME ASSISTANCE 

There are some functional tools to 

implement at home that can make 

a difference in supporting your 

child’s needs, too. “Encourage your 

child to listen to audiobooks that 

are above their reading level, watch 

educational shows, research topics 

of interest, and participate in family 

discussions. These activities will help 

strengthen your child’s vocabulary 

and background knowledge, which 

they can use to compensate for their 

dyslexia,” suggests Powell. 

For further support and tools, 

Peterson suggests “parents work with 

pre-reading programs that emphasize 

phonological awareness and phoneme 

sequencing. Several programs are 

designed to help students suspected of 

having dyslexia learn to read and spell 

at home or through private tutors.” 

Keeping your child supported, 

loved, and encouraged through the 

process of diagnosing and supporting 

a learning disability is key. According 

to Stockslager, “Some of the best ways 

to support your child are to listen and 

talk with them about their challenges, 

provide support and encouragement, 

set reasonable expectations, and focus 

on their strengths.”

LOCATED NEAR: 

Truckee. 

DISTANCE: 

5.2-mile loop. 

TRUCKEE 

WILDLIFE 

The Tahoe National 

Forest is home to some 

amazing wildlife, as well as 

breathtaking views. While 

they’re not always easy 

to spot, here are a few 

critters to look out for 

while you’re out exploring. 

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: 

Easy; heavily trafficked. 

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: 

Expect lots of people along 

the beginning sections of the 

trail; the deeper you go, the 

more opportunity for solitude. 

With ample water this year, 

be prepared to cross creeks 

and mud. Bring a swimsuit if 

you want to take a dip in the 

reservoir. Wear shoes with 

traction and sun protection,

BIRDS 

Bald Eagle. Easily 

recognized with a 

wingspan reaching seven 

feet! 

Golden Eagle. Most 

often seen around rocky 

outcroppings. 

Osprey. Watch for these 

around Donner Lake 

diving for fish. 

and bring plenty of water; as 

always, practice Leave No Trace 

principles. 

WHY WE LOVE IT: 

This family-friendly loop offers 

Red-Tailed Hawk. Visible 

all around our area, you’re 

likely to see this bird 

soaring in wide circles as 

it hunts for a wide variety 

of prey. 

amazing wildflowers, wildlife, 

streams, and all the beauty 

that makes Truckee one of our 

favorite local getaways. 

FUEL UP: 

With a hearty selection of 

tasty fare, plus beer, 

wine, and cocktails, 

it’s hard to go 

wrong with a 

meal at Truckee 

Tavern & Grill 

(truckeetavern. 

com), where “rustic 

vibes meet 

contemporary 

creativity.” 

Whether 

you’re craving 

a ribeye, burger, 

lobster fettucine, or 

hearty bowl of housemade 

mac & cheese, there's 

something for the whole family.

ANIMALS 

Black Bear. A Tahoe 

wilderness favorite that, 

despite the name, can 

be found in blonde and 

cinnamon colors. 

Bobcat. Very rare to spot! 

Coyote. Often seen during 

twilight hours. 

Mule Deer. With a coat 

that blends perfectly 

into the forest, good luck 

spotting this one. 

Yellow-Bellied Marmot. I 

once found one of these 

near Horsetail Falls; you 

may think it’s a beaver but 

look again.

COOL STUFF 

Fly High 

3 Airplane Essentials 

by TERRY CARROLL 

I love traveling. Whether for 

business or pleasure, one constant 

that remains is finding travel 

accessories that make trips easier. 

Here are three items I never, ever, 

leave home without. 

“HEADPHONES” 

OVER HEELS 

While most people use 

headsets with their phones, 

airplanes open us up to 

all kinds of new noises, 

from screaming babies 

and parents to jet engine 

roar, and more. My go-to 

in this category are the Bose Noise-Cancelling 

Headphones 700. They’re comfortable (I’ve spent 

10-hour flights with them on), sound great, and 

have a battery life that lasts up to 20 hours. What 

more do you need? $379, bose.com 

• ROSEVILLE | SACRAMENTO | ROCKLIN • 

BE IN “CHARGE” 

My phone and all its apps 

like to suck my iPhone 

battery dry. Then there’s 

my iPad, whose battery 

tends to deplete faster 

and faster with all the 

media I watch. Tired of trying to find an outlet 

that works in airports or on planes, I made the 

switch to Anker PowerCore III 20K, and I can now 

charge my phone and iPad multiple times off one 

full charge. That’s right—no more worrying about 

dead batteries! Did I mention it’s smaller than my 

phone, too? $59.99, bestbuy.com

“PILLOW” TALK 

There are ample travel 

pillows to pick from, and 

though a toddler pillow— 

or any small pillow for 

that matter—will work, 

my favorite is the Rumpl 

Stuffable Pillowcase. I 

especially appreciate its 

compact size, and the fact 

that I’m just one sweatshirt or jacket away from 

travel sleep comfort; you simply stuff the Rumpl 

with a clothing item, and voilà! you’re resting

ASK THE 

EXPERT 

by BELLA NOLEN 

Photo ©F8 \ Suport Ukraine - stock.adobe.com. 

Q: HOW DOES DANCE 

IMPROVE A PERSON’S OVERALL 

HEALTH AND WELLNESS? 

A: All exercise improves one’s 

overall health and physical 

well-being—from weight loss 

and increased energy levels, 

to reduction in chronic health 

conditions and improved brain 

health and memory. But to 

me, dance takes exercise to a 

higher level. It adds joy. And 

that is because dance is most 

often a response to music. All 

cultures and all ages respond to 

music—whether it’s a rhythmic 

drumbeat, a violin solo, a song, or 

a full orchestra. Music lifts one’s 

soul and connects people to one 

another. All one needs to do to 

cure the blues is turn on music, 

and dance, dance, dance!

Blast from the Past 

WOW-WORTHY MODERN MAKEOVER 

T 

he art of transforming a home 

into a dream house requires 

a keen eye for aesthetics, 

meticulous attention to detail, 

and a deep understanding of what 

the client desires. Keeping those 

standards at the forefront, Ryan 

Gregerson and his team at RSG 

Construction (rsg4homes.com)—a 

Roseville-based business whose 

motto is “do it right the first time”— 

gave their client Cheryl C. and her 

husband the property they’d always 

envisioned. 

The couple is the original owner 

of their two-story, 3,800-square-foot 

Folsom home built in 2001. “Our fivebedroom, 

three-bath house was a 

pretty basic track home of that era,” 

Cheryl says. “There were oak kitchen 

cabinets, tan tile countertops 

and floors in the kitchen, and the 

bathrooms had oak cabinets with 

chrome and gold fixtures and 4x4 

white tile throughout.” 

After living with their dated 

kitchen and bathroom for over 22 

years, they knew it was time for a 

change. “My husband was fed up 

cleaning the rough kitchen tile 

countertops, but I wasn’t a fan of 

renovating—until we brought in RSG 

to review possible options and ideas. 

Once they recommended removing 

a wall and expanding the kitchen 

into a more open concept with a 

larger island, I was convinced,” says 

Cheryl. 

“We want to make homes as 

user-friendly as possible and adding 

more space is often the way to do it, 

so it made so much sense to remove 

the wall and create a more open 

layout for Cheryl and her husband 

to host guests,” says Gregerson. 

A modern kitchen makeover 

provides the perfect opportunity 

to revitalize this essential space, 

by EMILY BEST 

BEFORE 




combining functionality and aesthetics 

to create a haven that reflects a 

homeowner’s unique personality. 

For this remodel, the emphasis was 

on clean lines and simplicity. Opting 

for sleek white and grey cabinetry with 

panel doors and modern hardware, 

Gregerson provided the couple with a 

minimalist foundation and enhanced 

the seamless modern aesthetic Cheryl 

hoped to achieve. New luxury stainless 

steel appliances were incorporated 

throughout, including a wine 

refrigerator, double oven, and chef-style, 

double-door refrigerator. The custombuilt 

window seat and large kitchen 

island housing the cooktop provide the 

perfect place for guests to relax while 

Cheryl and her husband prepare meals 

for friends and family. 

The primary bathroom was 

completed first, due in part to flooding 

from a burst pipe that happened while 

the homeowners were out of town. “The 

damage was extensive, so RSG not only 

helped with the remodel but also with 

the basic reconstructing of the walls and 

ceilings that were damaged,” says Cheryl. 

As the adage goes, “Every cloud has a 

silver lining,” and in this case it afforded 

Cheryl the opportunity to have the 

modern sanctuary she wanted. 

After a careful evaluation of the 

layout, new configurations were 

implemented to create an open and 

spacious ambiance. The choice of 

materials and finishes ultimately set 

the tone for the transformation with 

smooth, natural stone—such as marble 

tile for the walls—and sleek, modern 

tile floors that exude elegance and 

sophistication. Minimalistic geometric 

tile patterns adorn the walls, while 

a combination of glass and chrome 

fixtures add a touch of contemporary 

charm to the once-dated bathroom. 

The standalone luxury bath and 

modern rain head shower make the 

spa-like space unrecognizable from 

the original bathroom. In addition, the 

cabinets, flooring, fixtures, electrical, 

plumbing, countertops, backsplash, 

paint, and tile were all replaced, too. 

“The primary bathroom is beautiful!” 

says Cheryl. 

Along with the bathroom and kitchen 

remodels, the homeowners also had 

the bedrooms repainted, replaced light 

fixtures, updated their closets to allow 

for better organization, and changed out 

their staircase, working with a company 

recommended by Gregerson. 

“Scope creep is real!” says Cheryl. 

“[The RSG team was] always ready to 

accommodate our change requests and 

[were] very responsive and available to 

answer questions via phone, email, or 

text. Even after the project was complete, 

if we had questions or any issues, 

they made sure they were resolved as 

quickly as possible. The crew at RSG is 

comprised of quality people, and they’re 

easy to work with.” 

Does Gregerson have any advice for 

people considering a remodel? “Set your 

budget but have an overage amount for any 

unforeseen circumstances. Also, estimates 

can be more accurate if you know what 

type of materials you’re wanting to use, 

and delayed change orders slow down the 

process. It's a marathon not a sprint.”

boglewinery.com 

Lava Cap Winery 

Lava Cap Winery: This spot is 

simply spectacular and tops the charts

justice either; it’s something that needs 

to be experienced in person! Choose 

between their redwood deck, lower patio, 

garden, or outdoor lawn settings while 

you sip on mountain-grown grapes. 

2221 Fruitridge Road, Placerville, 530- 

621-0175, lavacap.com

Vineyard: Sitting at 2,750 feet of 

elevation, you’re guaranteed some

Located along Lincoln’s Wise Road, 

this new-kid-on-the-block spot 

offers a chill, sprawling outdoor 

space that feels akin to a cozy, wellmaintained 

farm. Did we mention it’s 

also dog-friendly, has ample seating,

Iron Hub Winery & Vineyards 

Lewis Grace Winery: Though 

their indoor tasting room is a lovely 

spot, the outdoor views—where you’ll 

see the Crystal Mountain Range—can’t 

be beat. Originally Irving Ranch, this 

historic property named its wines after 

patriot and soldier Lewis Grace. (The 

Irving family was also part of founding 

Apple Hill!) Stop in for a tasting or plan

include a sangria weekend (August 

5-6) and Hawaiian luau (August 26).

Smokin’ Barrel Winery 

Lewis Grace Winery 

Miraflores Winery: No matter the 

season, Miraflores’ elegant, awardwinning 

wines, relaxing pond, and stone 

patio overlooking 42 acres of vineyards 

doesn’t disappoint. Escape the summer 

heat and sit under their wooden-beamed 

arbor while enjoying gourmet food 

and wine pairings; when temps dip 

down, warm up next to their centuriesold 

fireplace with a glass of red and 

steaming bowl of soup to soak in the 

autumn hues or snow-covered vineyards.

addition to killer views, they have

grown-ups enjoy small-batch whites 

and reds (like the estate-grown rosé or 

full-bodied old vine zinfandel). 12500

WINE & DINE 

Spots to eat and drink 

Although BYO picnics are allowed 

at most wineries, sometimes you 

want (and need!) more. From quick 

lunches to sit-down dinners, these 

wineries offer drool-worthy meals 

when cheese and crackers just 

won’t cut it. 

Helwig Winery 

Di Stasio Vineyards: Italian roots 

run deep at this gorgeous Plymouth 

winery. After sipping on offerings like 

arneis (flavors of stone fruit and pear) 

and sentieri (cocoa powder, sour cherry, 

and vanilla), order an antipasti platter 

to cap things off. On weekends, dig

with spicy apple-mandarin slaw, 

pizzas, or a half-pound burger—all in a 

picturesque garden setting—seven days 

a week. Just don’t forget to pair your 

meal with a bottle of vino; their white 

sangiovese and reserve zinfandel are 

always crowd-pleasing picks. 10600

245-3800, villatoscano.com 

Twin Rocks Winery: Explore 

Twin Rocks’ staple food truck, Farm 

Fusion, every Friday-Sunday, with

really good! With items like a Korean

TASTEFUL 

TASTING ROOMS 

Raise a glass to these 

stunning spaces 

When you enter a tasting room, 

sometimes it’s primarily to beat 

the heat or escape the rain, or 

to go directly toward the wine. 

But a tasting experience can be 

so much more when you’re in an 

environment that truly transports 

you to the style, mission, and 

passion of the business. Check 

out a few of our favorites below. 

Casino Mine Ranch: “It feels like 

you’re walking into Kim Kardashian’s 

house,” says Danielle Seagraves of 

Amador Event Co. And she’s not far 

off. Modern and new (we’re talking 

opened in February 2023), Casino 

Mine Ranch features high ceilings 

and plenty of impressive, light-filled 

windows. The clay wall behind the 

tasting bar is especially noteworthy, 

as it was artistically designed to 

represent the property’s various 

soil colors. 10690 Shenandoah 


casinomineranch.com 

Château d’ Estienne: Though 

the patio at Château d’ Estienne is 

incredibly scenic, we couldn’t pass 

up the opportunity to mention their 

tasting room: an amazing, customdesigned 

space that’s bright and 

ultra-modern, with picturesque 

views of the Sierra foothills, making 

it a great spot to take in the scenery 

when you’d rather sip indoors. 2700 

Omo Ranch Road, Somerset, 530-620- 

7960, chateaudestienne.com 

Bonitata Boutique Wine: 

Calling all history buffs! Built in 

1874, Bonitata's Auburn tasting room 

shares a space with their production 

facility and barrel storage area. In 

addition to reds and whites, sparkling 

fruit wines are also available. 

Another reason it gets our vote? It’s 

located on Auburn Folsom Road— 

within walking distance to both Old 

Town and Downtown Auburn—so 

no need to hit the curvy country 

roads to get your sip on. 291 Auburn

Lone Buffalo Vineyards: 

This space sits atop historic 

Placer County farmlands and has 

a Southwestern, rustic ranch feel 

with plenty of merch to boot—a 

space that’s “fit for both cowboys 

and kings” per their website. Their 

wines all follow a buffalo-themed 

naming process that honor the 

mighty animal’s resilience and 

strength, such as the Bison Blanc 

Viognier, Where the Buffalo Roam 

(Rhone-style red blend), or the 

Dreamcatcher Sparkling Rosé. 

7505 Wise Road, Auburn, 530-823- 

1159, lonebuffalovineyards.com 

Rombauer Vineyards: 

This is a quintessential stop for 

chardonnay lovers. The inside is 

spacious and impressive, thanks 

to a cheese shop with wine pairing 

recommendations, cool photos, and 

a modern fireplace with a golden 

quote above it that reads: “The magic 

of winemaking is that you create 

something with your own hands, 

from your own piece of earth, that 

lasts for years—Koerner Rombauer.”

Where to snooze after a 

day of sipping 

Who says you need to take a long car 

ride or hop aboard a plane to take a 

vacation? Here are a few local spots 

where you’ll feel worlds away and be 

in proximity to some of the region’s 

best wineries. 

Eden Vale Inn photo by Unique Angles Photography. Hotel Sutter photo by Farrell Photography. 

Eden Vale Inn: Located in 

Placerville, this bed and 

breakfast is currently top-oflist 

for local luxury retreats on 

Tripadvisor. It’s a good choice for 

something quainter than a large hotel 

chain without sacrificing amenities, 

like an on-site spa and complimentary 

breakfast (with offerings that often 

includes souffles and hot-fromthe-oven 

scones). But with only 

seven rooms on the property, it’s 

best to book ASAP! 780 Springvale 

Road, Placerville, 530-621-0901, 

edenvalleinn.com 

Hotel Sutter: Old West romance 

meets modern-day living at this 

charming hotel that’s “the” place to 

stay in Sutter Creek. The on-property 

restaurant—whose outdoor deck 

overlooks Main Street—serves hearty 

meals like chicken marsala, seasonal 

pastas, and steaks. If you want to switch 

from wine to whiskey, check out the 

property’s Copper Bar, a speakeasyesque 

spot whose curated selections 

represent some of the world’s 

finest. 53 Main Street, Sutter Creek, 

209-267-0242, hotelsutter.com 

The Murieta Inn & Spa: Grab 

a complimentary early morning 

“breakfast bag” before heading off 

for a day of wine tasting at this newly 

opened hotel in Rancho Murieta. If 

you need a bit more local vino in your 

life, the on-site Gate Restaurant offers 

extensive El Dorado and Amador 

selections. Be sure to ask the front 

desk about the hotel’s shuttle services 

to local vineyards, too! 7337 Murieta 

Drive, Rancho Murieta, 916-354- 

3900, themurietainn.com 

Flower Farm Inn: Step back in 

time while connecting to nature at this 

historic space in Loomis. The property 

is adjacent to the Flower Farm Cafe and 

Casque Wines, making it a one-stopshop 

for food and tastings. There’s also 

a nursery and gift shop to explore! A 

pond, orchards, and lush gardens await 

steps outside the 1905 farmhouse 

accommodations (cottages and private 

cottages are available as well). 4150 

Auburn Folsom Road, Loomis, 916- 

652-4200, flowerfarminn.com 

Park Victorian: Overlooking 

Downtown Auburn and sitting atop 

Snowden Hill, this inn is close to all the 

Auburn action. Before or after wine 

tasting, have a casual meal at nearby 

Auburn Alehouse or plan for an elevated 

evening with French fare at Restaurant 

Josephine. Each of the six rooms is 

named after early local pioneers, such as 

Viola Wrigley and Leland Stanford. Oldschool 

mansion charm meets modern 

upgrades for a unique and comfortable 

stay. 195 Park Street, Auburn, 530-330- 

4411, parkvictorian.com 

SpringHill Suites by Marriott 

Auburn: Want to be closer to the 

winery action but prefer a more 

classic, familiar hotel experience? 

Look no further. This isn’t your typical 

chain hotel, though—every room is 

a spacious suite, equipped with a 

separate living/seating area, a mini 

fridge, and a microwave. Connecting 

rooms are available upon request, 

making this a nice option if you plan 

to wine taste with a group. 13535

COOL CAVES 

Intimate Underground Tastings 

The climate of caves bodes well to regulating the 

temperature of wine bottles—not to mention, they’re 

cool (in all senses of the word). Here’s a roundup 

of our region’s underground tasting opportunities, 

along with some private cellar spots for a more 

intimate experience. 


Boeger Winery 

Dobra Zemlja Winery 

Helwig Winery 

Viña Castellano 

Vineyards: Check 

out Viña Castellano’s 

cave that was cut into 

the side of a hill. Large 

rocks composing the 

cave’s wall are natural 

to the property and were 

used to make castings 

for the ceiling then 

painted to match—a 

lengthy process with a 

big payoff. It’s a mustsee—and 

their wines 

are equally impressive, 

too! 4590 Bell Road, 

Auburn, 530- 889-2855, 

vinacastellano.com 

Bella Grace 

Vineyards: Built in 

2011, Bella Grace’s 

“cave” in Plymouth 

is a sight to behold. 

Custom designed and 

engineered, it features 

barrel storage that’s 12 

feet tall. Though this 

isn’t their actual tasting 

room, you can make a 

reservation to tour the 

cave while you’re there. 

Visitors can sample 

both wine and olive oil

Reds’ Bistro 

Reds' Bistro was opened by Karen Dresch and Russ 

Townsend in the spring of 2020 and quickly developed 

into one of Placer County's most celebrated restaurants. 

With renowned chef Mike John at the kitchen's helm, 

and Del Oro graduate turned New York City restaurateur 

Jake Somers returning to his hometown to serve as GM 

and sommelier, Reds' offers an unrivaled experience. 

Located in the heart of Loomis, Reds' has earned a reputation 

for exceptionally friendly service and delicious 

food. Somers' international wine list is well curated and 

anything but boring! His beer list showcases great local 

craft beers, and thanks to the state of the art blended 

gas draft beer system at Reds' Bistro, these beers have 

never tasted better! 

Reds’ strives to offer an elevated dining experience while 

maintaining a casual vibe. The interior is an elegant 

blend of rustic brick and 1920’s elegance. Custom made 

banquettes and ornate antique brass bank tables converted 

into high tops lend a refreshing 

art deco aesthetic, while friendly 

servers in black t-shirts and denim 

aprons keep the space from feeling 

pretentious. Lunch and dinner is 

served Monday through Saturday 

(closed Sundays). Reservations are 

available via OpenTable. Walk-ins 

are always welcome!

Fenton Herriott Vineyards 

At Fenton Herriott Vineyards, we have long held a great 

passion for wine. It is for this reason that we chose to plant 

our vines amidst the steady sun and rich soil of Placerville, 

California. The Mediterranean climate of this area, combining 

warm summer nights and hot summer days with free-draining 

volcanic soil, is especially ideal for grape growing and allows 

us to produce the quality fruit needed for our complex, well 

balanced, and full-bodied wines. 

We invite you to our winery and 

vineyards to enjoy the beautiful 

picnic area, covered pavilion, and 

the splendors of the El Dorado

Sentivo Vineyards & Winery 

Sentivo (sen-tee-voh) is Italian for “I felt.” Located in the heart 

of Fair Play, Sentivo represents the best of the Sierra Foothill 

wine region. 

We are a family business that is built on a passion for 

wine, people and our love for each other. In 2011, Sentivo 

harvested our first vintage of Estate Syrah and Petite Sirah 

grapes and have been handcrafting our wines with care and 

dedication ever since. Our mature vines 

are meticulously managed to ensure 

the highest quality. The fruit burst with 

intense, concentrated flavor makes it 

ideal for production of superior wines.

C. Knight's Steakhouse 

C. Knight’s brings a classic approach to the American 

tradition of the “old school steakhouse” offering Prime 

beef, craft cocktails, and local wines. 

The DOGVDUB 

The steakhouse holds a special place in our hearts. 

Charles Knight met his stepfather, a true cowboy, in a 

steakhouse. He later worked as a cook and bartender 

in that same steakhouse. That steakhouse in Colorado 

became the destination for all the Knight celebrations, 

and the place where special family memories were 

made. 

We hope to do the same for those who come to 

our restaurant. We want to provide our patrons a 

memorable dining experience and keep them coming 

back for more experiences to share with family and 

friends. 

Our vision is to be one of the top steakhouses in 

Northern California and become a long-standing 

community presence. 

Open for dinner, Happy Hour 3-6pm Monday through 

Friday. Early Bird Dining 3-5pm Sunday-Thursday. 

FEATURING CUSTOM 

We also offer catering through C. Knight’s Steakhouse 

and the Ruffhaus DOGVDUB for any special event. The 

DOGVDUB, a vintage Volkswagen Bus converted to a 

Mobile hot dog truck, is the perfect 

way to enhance any event and will 

surely impress your guests.

Kerala Veg Korma 

Mantra 

by RYAN MARTINEZ | photos by TAYLOR GILLESPIE 

F 

olsom foodies, rejoice! One of the city’s newest dining destinations, Mantra, 

is certainly worth celebrating. While some may be deterred by the bold 

“vegan and vegetarian” tagline, believe me when I say that meat quickly becomes an 

afterthought once you savor the menu’s mouthwatering, punchy flavors. 

Fueled by the success of their sister restaurant, Sanskrit, Mantra’s vast menu 

features fresh, creative plates made using high-quality, healthy ingredients. 

All five senses are immediately engaged when you walk through the door. The 

smell of Indian spices; the soft, soothing sounds of Indian music; and the clean, 

minimalistic space adorned with rich colors and eye-catching portraits truly 

capture the culture, making it clear you're in for a special experience. 

To drink, we ordered a classic mango lassi (a mango and yogurt shake) and a 


“

I say that meat

afterthought once 

you savor the menu’s 

mouthwatering, 

punchy flavors.

Railway Peppers 

churned bliss—a savory beverage made from 

buttermilk, spices, and herbs. Both were good, but 

the lassi was a clear winner in our book. 

To eat, we started with chana bhatura, a puffy, 

deep-fried bread served alongside chana masala 

that we’ll certainly order again. It was a fun way 

to kick off the meal; imagine a soccer ball-sized 

puff of delicious, thinly rolled fried bread that 

you tear and dip into an incredibly scrumptious 

chickpea curry. 

For a splash of freshness, we tried the beetroot 

salad, which, to our surprise, was served warm 

with a mix of chopped beets, grated coconut, and 

some chile that left me sweating and questioning 

my decisions in life. Be careful of the chile; it 

is CRAZY hot, but the salad was still sweet and 

delicious. 

Soon after the feeling returned to my taste 

buds, the showstopper arrived: kanjipuram 

masala dosa. The dish was beautifully 

presented—a thinly rolled dosa 

shaped into a large funnel with 

a centerpiece of dipping curry— 

and something I’m still dreaming 

about. 

Finally, the kerala veg korma 

came with our pick of two types 

of bread: paneer paratha and 

a piece of kerala parotta. This 

creamy, slightly sweet (thanks 

to coconut milk), vegetableladen 

curry—filled with carrots, 

cauliflower, potatoes, and peas— 

was so good, but our ambitions 

exceeded our appetite and we had 

to take it home. Fortunately, it was 

equally amazing the next day! 

If, like us, you have no idea 

what any of the dish names 

mean, don’t fret: The service 

at Mantra is as wonderful as 

their food, and our waitress 

was quick to recommend some 

crowd-pleasers. The meal was 

so memorable, in fact, that we 

planned another trip with family 

not even a week after. 

Isn’t the dream of every 

foodie to find a little-known 

gem with fair prices, a pleasing 

environment, and 

lip-smacking 

cuisine? Mantra 

boasts all of 

this and could 

easily become 

our new 

go-to Indian 

restaurant.

Let’s taco bout more of 

our region’s top tacos. 

Below is just a small 

sampling of our favorites 

that’ll have you coming 

back for mas. 

Taqueria La Fogata 

1010 Riley Street, Suite 1, I don’t know about you, but I could eat Mexican food every day. Luckily, there’s a 

Folsom, 916-510-1931, place in Folsom that can make it a reality. Taqueria La Fogata has an extensive 

lafogata-folsom.com menu, which means you can order something different every time you go, even 

@lafogatafolsom 

if it is every day. I’m a taco fan, so I couldn’t resist trying their Crispy Tacos 

on my first visit. They do something I absolutely love, too; after they fry up the shell, they 

sprinkle parmesan all over the outside. In my opinion, it’s the best taco addition ever. I picked 

grilled chicken for my protein, but other options include shredded chicken, asada, carnitas, 

chile verde, al pastor, and even lengua (tongue). Top them off with lettuce, cheese,

guacamole, and sour cream, and you’ll be muy contenta. They also serve soft tacos, 

vegetarian tacos, and taco salad. Burrito lovers are in luck, too, as they have several, 

with the option to make any of them “wet.” Their massive menu also includes 

quesadillas, enchiladas, tortas, tostadas, soups, an entire section dedicated 

to seafood, and more. Hungry for breakfast? How about huevos rancheros, 

huevos con chorizo, or huevos con jamon? There’s literally something for every 

craving—and for every day of the week!

Farm-to-Bottle Breweries 


While the popularity and presence of craft breweries 

has rapidly risen, farm-to-bottle breweries— 

establishments whose ingredients (hops, honey, herbs, 

stone fruit, mandarins, and more) are grown on-site and 

purposefully handcrafted into pints—is still a somewhat 

hard-to-come-by concept. Fortunately, our region 

is home to a handful of breweries that make some 

mouthwatering ground-to-glass pours. Cheers to these 

home-grown establishments! 



Beautifully landscaped with lush scenery in every direction 

and shaded seating areas (under misters!) overlooking a 

pretty pond with a water fountain, Hillenbrand Farmhaus 

is a “destination brewery”—and not your average place 

to grab a pint. In addition to an acre of Cascade hops, 

you’ll find a two-acre orchard with peach trees, apricot 

trees, lemon trees, and fig trees—all of which are used in 

Farmhaus’ award-winning brews. For an approachable, 

light beer with a hint of salted lime and a crisp, clean 

finish, order the Mexicali Lager. Just don’t forget to pair 

it with a German Pretzel Platter (one of many hyper-local 

food options available)—a fresh-baked pretzel from 

Freeport Bakery garnished with grapes, cheese, salami, 

olives, cashews, and almonds. Hillenbrand Farmhaus

GoatHouse Brewing Co. 

Growing approximately 20 varietals of hops (over 

2,000 plants), Lincoln’s GoatHouse Brewing Co. 

also has an expansive orchard filled with citrus, 

stone fruit, and apples that they use in seasonal 

beer batches. What’s more, the 11.5-acre property 

(comprised of the brewery, tasting room, hop farm, 

three ponds, and lots of goats!) is mostly sustainable, 

from using wastewater for irrigation to the owners’ 

commitment to all-natural farming techniques. Their 

most popular brew, Honey Baby, is an ale made 

using local honey from their on-site bees; think of 

it as “health food, but in beer form!” says co-owner

Lobster Cobb Salad 

Recipe by Bennett’s Kitchen Bar Market, 1595 Eureka Road, Roseville, 916-750-5150, bennettskitchen.com 

• One, 7–8-ounce lobster tail, cut the raw tail at each knuckle and then in half 

• Juice of fresh lemon 

• Maldon sea salt, to taste 

• 8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half 

• 1/2 tsp. pepper, freshly ground 

• 2 tbsp. lemon vinaigrette (buy a 1/2 pint at Bennett’s) 

• 1/2 Hass avocado, cubed 

• 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (not too small) 

• 3 cups baby lettuce leaves, washed, dried, and torn into bite-sized pieces 

• 3/4 cups arugula, washed and dried 

• Roughly 1/8 cup Shaft’s Bleu Vein Cheese 

• 1 lemon, cut in half, to garnish 

Fill a 2-quart saucepan with water until 3/4 full and bring to a boil. Add the 

lobster shell, half of the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Return to a low boil 

for 4 minutes. Remove the shell and add the raw lobster; turn off the heat and 

let the lobster chunks sit in the hot water for 4 minutes. Strain and place the 

lobster meat in a bowl; cover with 16 oz. of ice water for 5 minutes, and then 

remove the lobster. Note: This should—and can—be done before beginning the 

rest of the recipe. 

Place the cooked and cold lobster chunks in a bowl with the tomatoes and toss 

with the remaining lemon juice and a pinch of salt pepper. Add just enough lemon 

vinaigrette to moisten (about 1 tbsp.); add the avocado, bacon, lettuce, arugula, and 

cheese—adding just enough additional dressing to keep the salad lightly dressed. 

Garnish with half of a lemon (seeds removed) on each plate.

• 4 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped 

• 1 bottle cabernet sauvignon 

• Whole black pepper, to taste 

In a large bowl, add the short ribs 

and all the marinade ingredients. 

Marinate for at least 6 hours in 

the fridge. Remove the meat 

from the marinade and pat dry 

with a towel. Strain the veggies 

from the wine; reserve both for 

later. Season the meat with a 

generous amount of salt and 

pepper. Coat each side with flour 

and set aside. 

Preheat the oven to 350. In a large 

ovenproof pot, heat the olive oil over 

medium-high. When the oil begins 

smoking, carefully slip ribs into the 

pot and sear until well-browned, 4-5 

minutes per side. Transfer ribs to a 

plate. 

In the same pot, sauté the 

veggies from the marinade until 

lightly caramelized and browned, 

approximately 5-7 minutes. Add 

the wine to the pot, stirring to 

deglaze. Add tomato paste and stir 

to dissolve. Bring the liquid to a 

boil so the alcohol from the wine 

evaporates. Add broth and bring to a 

boil. Add the ribs back into the pot. 

Spoon the liquid over the ribs to coat 

them. 

Cover the pot and transfer to the 

middle rack of the oven. Bake 

until meat is tender enough to be 

pierced easily with a fork, about 

2 hours or until fall-off-the-bone 

tender, opening the oven every 30 

minutes and carefully skimming 

the fat from surface. Garnish with 

chopped parsley. 

Deconstructed Caprese

1006 White Rock Road, Suite 200, El Dorado Hills, 916-941-9694; 

1480 Eureka Road, Roseville, 916-771-4700, siennarestaurants.com 

• Arugula 

• 1 carrot, shaved with a vegetable 

peeler 

• Lemon basil vinaigrette* 

• 1 heirloom tomato, cut into four pieces 

• 3 crostini, toasted (sliced French bread 

with oil, salt, and pepper; cook at 350 

for 15 minutes) 

• 1/2 ball fresh burrata 

• Green garlic, marinated and roasted* 

• White truffle oil 

• Maldon sea salt 

• Pepper, to taste 

Place a few ounces of arugula into a 

mixing bowl with shaved carrot. Add 

dressing to your liking (a light pour is 

recommended, as too much will weigh 

down the arugula). Mix the salad 

and set aside. Top the arugula with 

tomatoes, crostini, and a chunk of 

burrata; sprinkle green garlic around 

the bottom of the plate. Garnish the 

burrata and tomatoes with white 

truffle oil and sea salt; add freshly 

cracked pepper. 

Lemon Basil Vinaigrette 

• 1 cup olive oil 

• 1/2 shallot, diced 

• 2 garlic cloves 

• 1/4 cup lemon juice 

• 5-6 large basil leaves 

• 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard 

• 2 tbsp. champagne vinegar 


Add all ingredients (except olive 

oil, salt, and pepper) into blender 

and mix on low-medium. Once 

incorporated, slowly add oil 

(still on low-medium) until it’s 

emulsified. Season to taste with 

salt and pepper. 

Roasted Green Garlic 

• 3 green garlic cloves 

(stalk & bulb) 

• 1/4 cup olive oil 

• 1 tbsp. lemon juice 


Cut off the tops of the stalk 

where the flesh of the garlic 

starts (about 4 inches down from 

the top). Roast on a grill until a 

little char has built up. Remove 

immediately. Place into a mixing 

bowl and cover the top with 

plastic wrap (this will cause the 

garlic to sweat and break down). 

Once cooled, slice, mince, and 

place into a small bowl. Pour in 

lemon juice and olive oil, then 

mix thoroughly and season with 

salt and pepper to taste.

nonprofit beneficiary: 

FOLSOM’S HOPE 

7/14/2023 

Folsom's Hope 

One thousand and 00/100 

STYLE Magazine 

1,000.00 

Terry Carroll, publisher of STYLE Magazine; Salwa Kasabian, founder and director 

of Folsom’s Hope; and Frank Visconti, chef and owner of Visconti’s Ristorante. 

Folsom’s Hope has been 

working alongside Folsom- 

Cordova Unified School 

District—and in partnership with 

other community organizations— 

for more than 14 years, providing 

mentoring, tutoring, support, and 

encouragement for at-risk youth. 

Founder and director Salwa 

Kasabian started creating 

programming almost 15 years 

ago when her own children 

were attending Theodore Judah 

Elementary School, and her eyes 

were opened to various hardships 

some of the students faced. 

Since then, the organization 

has grown beyond Theodore 

Judah to other school sites. To 

date, they’ve reached almost 900 

at-risk students and families in 

various capacities, including 

their lunch buddy 

mentoring program, 

after-school STARS program, and 

monthly parenting classes. 

“We’re so thankful to live in 

such a generous community, as we 

continue growing to meet the needs 

of the students and families we serve. 

Moving into our 15th year of formal 

programming, we’re continuing 

to fundraise for our Hope Center, 

which will be built adjacent to 

Theodore Judah Elementary School 

and house [the nonprofit’s various] 

programs—ultimately providing us 

with the space necessary to expand.” 

For more information, including 

ways you can volunteer for the 

upcoming school year, visit 

folsomshope.org. 

In honor of 

our 20th year in 

business, we're donating 

$1,000 each month (through 

January 2024) to local 

charitable organizations and 

need YOU, our readers, to help 

us designate the recipients. To 

nominate the charity of your 

choice, visit stylemg. 

com/20years.
