Wondering where you should take your friends this summer? 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. Need something else to show your forever friends? All the farm-to-fork flavors found ’round town on almost every menu. From cocktails made with just-picked 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) expedition was exploring a handful of farm-to-bottle breweries—places that grow their ingredients (hops, honey, mandarins, and more) on-site. Check out “Good Beer Hunting” (page 84) for a roundup of where to find these hidden, home-grown gems—with recommendations on what to try.

School Cool<br />
Tips for a Smooth Transition<br />
by JENNIFER RESNICKE<br />
The end of summer break is fraught with conflicting emotions, but<br />
one thing has always been true of the back-to-school season: It’s a<br />
tough transition. To help families make the switch from summer fun<br />
to focused academics, we asked local experts for their top tips to<br />
help students of all ages.<br />
REST IS BEST<br />
Though quality sleep is<br />
important year-round, the<br />
long days of summer sunshine<br />
and lack of routine tend to<br />
send sleep schedules sliding,<br />
especially for teenagers.<br />
Tip #1: Reestablish Routines<br />
For younger kids, start bumping<br />
up bedtimes (and wakeup times)<br />
by 15-20 minutes a day a few<br />
weeks before school starts—<br />
until kids are going to sleep and<br />
waking up when they need to for<br />
the school year.<br />
Make older kids part of the<br />
process by asking how long they<br />
think they need to get ready and<br />
then doing some “trial runs” the<br />
week before school, ensuring<br />
they factor in time to eat<br />
breakfast, catch the bus, etc.<br />
Kathryn Buchan, a counselor<br />
at Buljan Middle School, says<br />
that “reestablishing a good sleep<br />
routine—where kids are getting<br />
9-13 hours of sleep a night—is<br />
especially important for middle<br />
schoolers.”<br />
The exact number of hours<br />
of sleep recommended for each<br />
developmental stage varies, so<br />
be sure to consider your child’s<br />
individual needs and reach out<br />
to their pediatrician for advice.<br />
