ooking back on 2016, we had a very successful year here at Lincoln Center. December brought much holiday joy: from the North Pole, which featured Santa and the Snow Village display, to complimentary valet, busy storefronts and filled restaurants — it truly was your home for the holidays. There were many community events we attended and hosted, see page 18 for a look back. We also welcomed new tenants; Chase Bank, C.R. Porter, Prime Table and the Rolex Boutique inside DeVons Jewelers. Learn some fun facts about Rolex on page 16. Cheers to 2016!

As we look at what 2017 has in store ahead, we thank you for your patience on the Big L construction and apologize for worrying the community. As you can see, the Big L is back, and better than ever. A big thank you to our merchants and various businesses throughout the San Joaquin Valley that embarked on this new advertising opportunity with us. If you haven't stopped by to look at the new digital signs, they're a must-see! The "new" L still represents the nostalgic history that our Center represents, and we look forward to another 60+ years of watching the L spin.

t was in November 1998 that owner Tammy Kelley was inspired to open C.R. Porter after recognizing a lack of furnishing stores in Stockton. Her beautiful store has since been the premier provider of living room furniture, dining room furnishings, bedroom sets and plenty of accessories. From the beautiful decorative Sid Dickens tiles to Jan Barboglio’s impressive wrought iron accessories – there is no shortage of one of a kind additions to your home. “Each customer offers an opportunity to be creative,� said Tammy. “We’re creating relationships and offering a personal touch.� It’s not unusual for her to see something while she’s shopping and pick it up because she thinks it would be a perfect fit for a customer’s home.

C.R. Porter prides itself on curating a collection of unique things that they promise have character. And since they work with so many boutique manufacturers, some of what they sell can even be customized. They love being able to build something and be creative. “One of my favorite things is the amount of options we have available to customers,â€? Tammy said, referring to the hundreds of upholstery samples that can be used to customize sofas in all shapes, sizes and orientations to best match the dĂŠcor of your home.

FeaturedMERC HANT The start of a new year is the perfect time to finally take on the home redecoration project you’ve been thinking of doing.

So why not visit C.R. Porter for some inspiration? If the idea of redecorating sounds intimidating or overwhelming, Tammy is happy to set up in home consultation appointments. “Most people know what they’re doing, but they need the reassurance and guidance,” said Tammy. “We prefer to work with people as opposed to working for them.”

No matter what you’re looking for, you can be certain that everything you see in the shop was purchased and displayed with care and thought. “We try not to duplicate things,” said Tammy. “We’re not afraid to think outside the box. And we buy things that we’d love to have in our own homes.” n

Beginners Guide to T

he beautiful northern Central Valley – a region that is now recognized as one of the most exciting wine destinations in California. You can find many fine wines right here, yet we are not limited as we can explore and enjoy wine from all over the world. Whether you're enjoying French wines from Fine Wines of Stockton, wandering the selections at our grocers, or pairing delicious wines with your favorite entrées – the options are endless at Lincoln Center. For many, the selections are studied, educated choices. For others, the mere pronunciation and selection process can be intimidating. We reached out to some local experts who make it their mission to familiarize our community with the flavors and depth of wine, to suggest wine pairings with menu selections at many of our restaurants. We also added a few tips on wine etiquette, temperature storage and even solutions for spilled wine mishaps.

Cabernet Sauvignon

(\ˌka-bər-ˈnā-sō-vē-ˈnyōⁿ\), arguably the monster of the wine world, is ideal for pairing with rich and savory cuts of meat. The “King of Wines” is tannin heavy and bold with fruit that only gets better with age.

Tip:

Stop by the Center’s newest restaurant, Prime Table, and scroll through their extensive list of full and half bottles of Cabernet Sauvignon like Chimney Rock to pair with their delicious cuts of Prime Grade prime rib.

Chardonnay

(/ˈʃɑːrdəneɪ/) is a rich and complex white with notes of butter, cinnamon and pineapple that pairs best with sweet shellfish, chicken and turkey, as well as risotto and pasta.

Tip: Enjoy a rich glass of Rombauer Chardonnay with the Scallop Risotto from Midgley’s Public House.

Flame Broiled, Deep Fried, Poached or Sauteed to Your Liking

Petrale Sole, Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Rainbow Trout, Catfish, Halibut in season, Prawns, Scallops & Sandabs

GoodEATS Merlot

(\mer-ˈlō\), which means “Little Blackbird” in French, is the base grape for the most renowned French wine, Bordeaux.

It’s soft and silky body pairs perfectly with savory meats and marinades without overpowering the palette.

Tip:

Popular wine, popular dish – Papapavlo’s Lamb Chops are complemented perfectly by a deep Merlot. Our current fav? Duckhorn Merlot.

Pinot Grigio

(\-ˈgrē-j(ē-)ō, -zh(ē-)ō\) is a crisp and fruity wine. Enjoyable year-round, this white powerhouse has quite the pedigree from Italy. This popular and light wine is paired best with salmon, poultry, shellfish and light appetizers.

Tip: Order a bottle of Pinot Grigio to share with your group at Domo while catching their famous Teppanyaki shows!

Pinot Noir

(\-ˈnwär\) is a low tannin, silky red that is very versatile and light. Pinot can be fruity or dry depending on the region it comes from. It pairs well with heavy fish like salmon and makes poultry and pasta sauces pop!

Sauvignon Blanc

(\ˌsō-vēn-ˈyōⁿ-ˈbläⁿ\) is a crisp white wine with notes of grass and grapefruit. It pairs best with fresh seafood and allows heavy cream based sauces to truly shine. This wine is extremely flexible with food, but pairs well with cheese, green vegetables and mild vinaigrettes.

Tip:

Go right now to Podesto’s Market to check out their famous fresh seafood selection and grab a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc to go. Need a cheese recommendation?

Try Laura Chenel Chevre, goat milk cheese – trust us!

Zinfandel

(\ˈzin-fən-ˌdel\) a deliciously jammy wine with rich hints of spice is the most respected and decorated varietal of wine cultivated in Lodi. The Lodi wine region has been accredited and was even awarded Region of the Year by Wine Enthusiast in 2015.

Tip:

What better way to balance the tasty spice of Tio Pepe’s Carne Asada or Fajitas than with an exquisite glass of Zin. Tio Pepe’s has local, Oak Farm Zinfandel.

Tip:

At Market Tavern their Pinot Noirs range from Russian River Valley to Willamette Valley. Try it with the Mary’s Rotisserie Chicken or the Spicy Meatball Pizza with burrata cheese.

You can negatively alter its perfect temperature or the flavor with too much oxygen exposure. › allow your wine to breathe to open the different nose (smells) and flavors. › use “Himalaya PartySmart” and plenty of water to prevent an unpleasant headache the next morning!

The experts at Fine Wines of Stockton have seen quite a few wine spills in their day and have some great advice! When you have that ‘wine-spill’ moment, the first thing you should do is immediately poor a generous amount of salt to cover the entire spill and let it sit for a while. Then, if on clothing or table cloth, your next step is to wash with SHOUT. If the spill is on carpet, apply Wine Away, a spray specifically made for wine spills!

GoodEATS From Bordeaux, France to Stockton, California Bordeaux, France is perhaps the world’s most famous wine region and one that has been bringing wine connoisseurs together for years.

George and Gail Herron, owners of Fine Wines of Stockton, have traveled to Bordeaux, France for the past 21 years to select only the best wines for their store. Joined by fellow wine experts and importers from all over the world, during their visit they taste nearly 300 exclusive vintage wines.

Their selections are considered ‘futures’ and must wait two years while the wine is barrel aged, clarified and bottled. Only then will it be shipped from France to Fine Wines, allowing customers to taste all that Bordeaux, France has to offer.

Stop in today to pick up a bottle for yourself.

Serving Your All wine should be stored at the same temperature regardless of its color. However, reds and whites are consumed at quite different temperatures.

A white that’s too cold will be flavorless and a red that’s too warm is often flabby and alcoholic.

Is it Time for a Colonoscopy?

By Carmi Punzalan, MD, Gastroenterology If one were to make a list of health topics that people enjoy talking about, colorectal health would ironically be found near the bottom. Although conversations about below the belt topics might be a tad uncomfortable, they are needed and may perhaps even save your life.

This March, in honor of Colorectal Cancer Awareness month, talk to your doctor about getting screened for colon cancer.

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the US. It is also one of the most preventable and, when detected early, most treatable forms of cancer.

That’s why it is important that everyone have a colonoscopy at the age of 50, or sooner if you have a history of colon polyps or colon cancer in your immediate family. Getting a colonoscopy not only helps to detect colon cancer, but it also can prevent it by identifying colon polyps before they become cancer.

Talk to your doctor and ask if it’s time for you to get a colonoscopy.

22

Dr. Carmi Punzalan is a gastroenterologist with Dignity Health Medical Group Stockton, a network of health professionals providing high quality and compassionate care.

To make an appointment with Dr. Punzalan or one of our other gastrointestinal specialists, please call 209.546.5200 or visit DHMF.org/Stockton.
