P
experience required
erspective is everything, right? Ponder for a minute Dr. Wayne Dyer’s famous words—“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Stepping back allows me to realize there is more to, well, everything. To pay homage to one of the finest and most impactful actors to date, as well as the great movie Dead Poets Society, I can’t help but cite the words that Robin Williams’ character Mr. Keating so passionately impresses upon his students in the scene where he demands they stand atop his desk as he preaches: “Just when you think you know something, you have to look at it in another way. Even though it may seem silly or wrong, you must try!” Sadly ironic I know. We all at one time or another get caught up in the daily grind void of new experiences—like traveling to a place we’ve never been, tasting food we swear we never would, taking a class at the local community college for no credit (just for the experience), or trying our hand at something we’ve always wanted to (like watercolors!)—oftentimes due to fear of failure or judgment. But what is failure anyway? No such thing in my book. Failure is simply an experience—one that you can either learn from (gain perspective)…or not. Even if not in that moment, eventually breakthroughs happen, and everything seems as though it was meant to be. Experiencing my unknowns in life has been (and continues to be) the constant driving force for broadening my perspectives relating to everything from relationships with family, friends and co-workers, to fundamental philosophies on living now and where I’m going in the future. I look back at relationships and poor decisions in my past and know that I would unquestionably handle them differently, better, now. I credit my growth in perspective to my experiences—all of them—the good, bad and ugly. It’s a vicious cycle, but viciously good. This month, we offer you a multitude of experiences. Follow Style staffers as they leave their usual office desk confines on an average Friday to run like children through fields of grapes, and taste like sommeliers the likes of wines they’ve never tried. Morgan Cásarez documents all of this and more (including fun wine facts from area winemakers) in her “Stories from the Cellar.” After you’ve sipped your favorite new varietal, unbridle the caged creative being within and try some of the 20-plus local art classes and artistic activities in Kourtney Jason’s “Young at Art.” There are so many hobbies to have (ballroom and belly dancing, hello) and so little time. Experiencing that which you’ve yet to is the spice of life. Carpe diem! — Desiree

Q&A Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: Don’t worry so much. I get anxious very easily, and I have to keep reminding myself that there are so many different paths to success (whatever you define as success), and one detour cannot keep you from realizing your dreams. Q: What comes to you naturally? A: I’m naturally a hard worker. I absolutely cannot stand being bored, which has encouraged me to be involved in the community any way I can.
nna von Wendorff isn’t your average 18-year-old high school graduate. While attending Granite Bay High School, she noticed how little interaction there was between students with disabilities and the rest of the student body. As someone who has friends with disabilities, von Wendorff knew that sometimes all it takes to bring people together is for someone to break the ice. To that end, she got involved in her school’s then-fledgling youth branch of the disability-awareness program, A Touch of Understanding (ATOU). With the help of her high school’s Key Club and other community volunteers, she started the ATOU’s Youth FORCE (Friends Offering Respect Creating Empowerment) high school club, a program that helps bring 10 stylergbr.com - September 2014
abled and disabled students together to do fun activities—all while fostering mutual understanding and respect. Von Wendorff later became president of Youth FORCE, as well as a member of ATOU’s executive board. For her outreach efforts, she received the 2014 Violet Richardson Award from the Loomis Basin Soroptimist Club. Last May, von Wendorff graduated as the valedictorian of her class and is now in her first year at Stanford University. Her longterm goal is to start her own nonprofit; one that will bring education to rural areas in the developing world. “ATOU gave me insight into the non-profit world,” von Wendorff shares. “There’s so much we can do to make a difference.” — Amber Foster

Q: Biggest life inspirations? A: My parents. They’ve allowed me to be independent from a very young age and have always given me their complete trust to make my own decisions. They’re the hardest working people I know, and they’ve supported me 100-percent and always will.

What’s in Season: Winter Squash
ask the expert
Q: How can I ensure my lawn stays green while still conserving water?
A: With a few easy changes to your routine, you can have one of the greenest lawns in the neighborhood. 1. Change your watering habits. Water less often but for longer cycles, don’t water when it’s windy or during the heat of the day (evening or very early morning is best to reduce evaporation), and water by hand the spots that are showing the most signs of stress. 2. When mowing, raise the height of your mower deck and use a mulching mower to add the nutrients from the grass back to the soil to provide more cover for the lawn and reduce evaporation. 3. Overseed with a more drought-tolerant sod variety. While this won’t get you fast relief, you’ll be ready for next year with a healthy droughttolerant lawn. You can continue and even increase your water conservation while keeping your lawn healthy and green. —Mark R. Chester Capital Landscape 1380 Lead Hill Boulevard Suite 106, Roseville 916-783-5080, capitallandscape.com
The calendar may say summer (until September 23!), but now is the perfect time to enjoy winter squash. The name winter squash doesn’t refer to the time of year it’s in season or consumed; rather, these types of vegetables are known as good keepers, often “keeping” throughout the winter and even into early spring.
SELECTION AND STORAGE The best winter squash are heavy for their size with a rind that appears slightly worn. Look for squash with stems, as they will last longer and are less susceptible to rotting. The best ones should appear firm and absent of blemishes or soft spots. Winter squash can be kept for at least one week—and sometimes up to six months—if stored away from direct exposure to light and extreme heat or cold. If you decide to store winter squash after it’s cut, cover it in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for up to two days. When it comes to preparing, steaming is a cooking method that requires little time; many people also prefer roasting it with a touch of olive oil, salt and pepper. If you decide to bake it, don’t worry about prepeeling; once cooked, the skin can easily be peeled away. For the recipe to make Winter Squash Lasagna with Goat Cheese and how to pair with local wine, visit stylergbr.com. — Susan Belknap For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat and local products, visit placergrown.org. 12 stylergbr.com - September 2014
DID YOU KNOW? Winter squash comes in a variety of shapes and colors, with no two squash species looking the same. Varieties include butternut, acorn, hubbard, turban and kabocha, as well as the fall favorite, pumpkin. Winter squash is low in calories and a good source of vegetable carbohydrates and fiber. It can also be enjoyed as a sweet treat—think butternut squash with brown sugar; or, for a salty snack, try roasting pumpkin seeds at 160-170 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Butternut, kabocha or acorn squash are also delicious in lasagna with goat cheese (for a recipe, visit stylergbr.com).

Harvest Happenings
s summer winds down, Rocklin Parks and Recreation is gearing up for all that fall has to offer. Rocklin Flag Football is always a favorite among area children; the season—open to boys and girls in grades pre-K-12—starts September 27 and ends in early November. All participants in this non-contact, co-ed, five-on-five league will receive an official Rocklin Flag Football reversible jersey. Always a fall favorite, the Rocklin Volleyball Association— a six-week, action-packed instructional league open to children in grades 3-8—begins play this month. Practice takes place once a week, with games on Sundays. The annual Back-to-School Triathlon, where Rocklin Unified School District students from all grades run, swim and bike at Whitney High School, will happen September 21. Proceeds from this event promoting a healthy and safe school year will benefit Rocklin Unified District schools; students can register individually or as a team. Rocklin Parks and Recreation’s Itty Bitty Club will start new classes the first week of the month. In this pre-preschool—a parent-participation program that offers all of the fun and interaction of preschool, while still playing, learning and growing together—teacher Alycia Tonna provides toddlers (ages 1.5-3 years old) with educational activities that prepare them for preschool. Food Truck Mania comes to Johnson-Springview Park the fourth Thursday of the month, through October, from 5-8:30 p.m. Join Rocklin Parks and Recreation and SactoMoFo as they bring out their best gourmet trucks, with food selections guaranteed to satisfy any craving. As you dine in the park, enjoy activities and entertainment. The Foothill Farmers’ Market makes 4090 Rocklin Road (Finnish Temperance Hall parking lot) their home every Thursday morning from 8 a.m. to noon. Accompanying the fresh produce purveyors are various artists displaying their wares. — Tracie Colamartino For more information about these events and others, visit rocklin.ca.us/specialevents.

The Union
ocals might know The Union as a nighttime hot spot in Downtown Roseville, but did you know they serve some pretty tasty grub during the daytime, too? Walking in, I noticed high ceilings, graffiti-splattered walls and a dozen or so arcade games (pinball and “Hoop Fever,” to name a couple). During the late afternoon this makes for a relaxed atmosphere, where friends can chow down on delicious eats, have a beer, and challenge each other to some classic games. The second I perused the eclectic array of offerings—think mac and cheese, sandwiches, pulled pork nachos, pizza, loaded tater tots—I realized my decision would be tough. Finally, I opted for The Cali, a sandwich piled high with boneless, grilled chicken breast, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, pepper jack cheese and ranch dressing—all stuffed between a French roll. I sat down and began sipping my refreshing Ginger Beer, and before I knew it The Cali arrived. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the avocado was fresh and the bacon added just the right amount of crunch and saltiness. Whether serious about your eats, arcade games, sports, drinks or music, The Union brings everything together in perfect harmony.

FAMOUS ARTIST TRIVIA Whether your art portfolio consists of colorful canvases or paint-bynumbers, it’s important to remember that all artists—even the world’s most famous—had to start somewhere. The trivia below is a good reminder of the obstacles that many renowned artists encountered on their road to fame. 1. Which well-known artist only sold one painting in his lifetime, titled The Red Vineyard? 2. Who suffered from acute appendicitis at the age of 21 and started painting to ease his boredom during recovery? 3. How many words long is Pablo Picasso’s real name? 4. In which city did pop art originate? 5. Whose art style became known as surrealism? 6. Who once said: “Art is anything you can get away with”? 7. What’s depicted in The Last Supper? 8. Leonardo da Vinci spent 10 years painting the lips of Mona Lisa. True or false? 9. Which of Claude Monet’s senses failed? 10. To speed up the process of creating art, what method did Andy Warhol adopt? — Megan Wiskus

1865
The year Mark Twain offered critique on the state Mark Twain of Dutch Flat poetry, submitted to literary journal The Californian by a resident. The author claimed his poetry was highly regarded in Dutch Flat, but Twain was not inclined to agree. “…That may be very good Dutch Flat poetry, but it won’t do in the metropolis. It is too smooth and blubbery; it reads like buttermilk gurgling from a jug…However, keep on practicing, and you may succeed yet. There is genius in you, but too much blubber.” — Compiled by Sharon Penny FOR ANOTHER FUN LOCAL FACT & FIGURE, VISIT STYLERGBR.COM!
oseville’s biggest party of the year is back! For 19 years, the Roseville Chamber of Commerce has been connecting community members through their very popular event, SPLASH, and this year’s soiree—held September 13 at the Roseville Aquatics Complex from 6:30-10 p.m.—promises another great time. Guests will be able to experience the tastes and artists of Placer County, while enjoying music from a steel drum band and Superlicious. In addition to food and drinks, local art and live music, guests can also get to know local businesses. “It’s no secret that community involvement plays an important role in you, your family and your business environment. Being involved allows you to take control and mold your community’s fate,” explains Events and Sponsorship Coordinator for the Roseville Chamber of Commerce, Katie M. Delyon.

Lynch II syndrome, BRCA 1 and BRCA 2, have been linked to the occurrence of ovarian cancer.
hen it comes to cancers for women, awareness falls heavily on breast cancer. The silent malignancy of ovarian cancer and its teal ribbon of awareness are often overlooked. However, according to the American Cancer Society, ovarian cancer, while it accounts for only three percent of cancers in women, is the most deadly of all female reproductive cancers and will kill an estimated 14,270 women in 2014.
PREVENTION?
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Ovarian cancer is one of the most challenging cancers to catch early, as the symptoms do not usually become prominent until the disease has advanced significantly. Dr. Lin Soe, MD, medical oncologist and hematologist at Marshall Hematology and Oncology in Cameron Park, explains, “Some symptoms are nonspecific like fatigue, frequency of urination and pressure sensation in the pelvis or constipation. When the cancer starts progressing more, the obvious symptoms appear.” Indications of more advanced ovarian cancer include abdominal distention, abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea or loss of appetite, a n d eve n l eg swelli n g or shortness of breath.
Not only is there is no direct cause, there is also little that can be done in the way of prevention. It is important to stay alert and pay attention to your body, especially if you have a family histor y of ovarian cancer. “ For early detection, women in high-risk groups should have a very low threshold of suspicion, and for any persistent symptoms, [they] should be examined by their physician,” says Dr. Soe, “including a pelvic exam, pelvic ultrasound and, if highly suspicious, CT scan of the pelvis.”
TREATMENT
Ovarian cancer is typically treated with a combination of two or more approaches, including chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and various forms of hormonal treatment. A patient’s treatment needs are based on a variety of factors unique to each individual. According to Dr. Soe, “Success of the treatment depends on the stage of the disease at the time of the diagnosis.” If discovered at Stage 1, in which the disease is limited only to the ovaries, the success rate RISK FACTORS tops 90 percent. Even Stage 2, by Abigail Blank As with many cancers, there where the cancer has spread is no direct causation that has into the pelvis, is still considbeen found, no one specific source causing the disease.

ully is a term that seems ubiquitous these days, a catch phrase—trendy even. Yet, rarely does a term elicit such a fervent response from parents of school-aged children…and it’s probably because we’ve all been there. When I was in elementary school, a classmate in my circle of friends refused to invite me to her events, would bring gifts for everyone besides me and single me out incessantly, leading to many a night crying. Later, in junior high, that same girl was given a note by our slightly larger group of girlfriends, telling her she was no longer welcome in the circle and to find new friends. I still remember how broken she looked sitting on the grass, sobbing. I was glad I didn’t sign the note. I’m now a mother in my 30s and can recall when “bully” was just a part of the growing-up lexicon—something to be dealt with, a right of passage, if you will. But what if the popular ideology was wrong? Was I “bullied” by today’s standards? Was she? And, perhaps the most confounding question of all: Would things have been different if social media had been a part of the equation? September 2014 - stylergbr.com 31
ourkids TOO QUICK TO CRY “BULLY”? “I definitely think the term ‘bullying’ is thrown around indiscriminately these days,” writes Emily Wyckoff, a mostly-stay-at-home mom of three and frequent contributor to rachelray. com. “[For example], a child crying bully when their fourth grade classmate decides to not be their friend anymore. Bullying? I think typical behavior for 10-year-olds…” Placerville-based LMFT, Psy.D. Dr. Dee-Anna Dreier adds, “If someone upsets someone, they can instantly be labeled a ‘bully’ without proper investigation of both sides leading up to the event.”
WHAT IS BULLYING? According to stopbullying.gov, bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among schoolaged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.
TEASING VS. BULLYING
RESOURCES ON THE RISE Area school and social service programs are evolving to help further the prevention of bullying. Even county- and state-level mental health agencies are developing antibullying programs.

first place to start is at home. Treating other members of the family how they want to be treated is the first premise of bullying prevention.” Open communication about bullying between the child and parents is also critical, as parents sometimes mistake a child’s reaction to bullying as a behavior problem, when in actuality, it’s the child trying to convey what is happening to them. DeDora adds that more information needs to be given to children in order for them to understand the differences between all individuals. “In general, the more educated children are about people’s differences, the less chance there is to be frightened. Many times young people simply aren’t given enough information, which inspires fear. Knowledge makes a difference.” Parents, school staff and other adults all have a role to play in preventing bullying, too. They can help kids understand bullying, keep the lines of communication open, encourage kids to do what they love, and model how to treat others with kindness and respect.

Wine Tasting with Style by Morgan Cásarez
Front: Debbie Newell and Megan Wiskus Middle: Morgan Cásarez, Gabriel Stubbs and Emily Peter Back: Aaron Roseli and Alex Minno
When it comes to wine tasting, there’s no place Wayne Pearce would rather spend an afternoon than our very own Sierra foothills. His love of the region and its familyowned wineries runs so deep that he spent years developing Sierra Wine Experience, an affordable and fully customizable tour and tasting service. With more than 150 wineries throughout Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Nevada, and Placer County, there are enough options to overwhelm even skilled sippers, but Pearce ensures that every group makes only the stops best suited to their palates and preferences. And for those who already have a winery bucket list in mind? The seasoned guide is just as comfortable letting guests determine the day’s itinerary, but does limit groups to just under a dozen so as not to overwhelm the area’s characteristically intimate tasting rooms. In the case of Style’s recent Sierra Wine Experience, we were on the hunt for wineries with special stories to share and, thanks to Pearce, we more than found them in the standout spots detailed ahead.

Deaver Vineyards
12455 Steiner Road, Plymouth deavervineyards.com
The Deavers trace their Amador County roots back five generations to John James Davis, a cooper from Indiana who was one of the region’s first settlers. In the early 1850s, Davis planted the family’s original Mission vines (brought from Mexico by the Jesuits and Franciscans), while his son, Joseph, added Zinfandel two decades later. The Deavers were strictly in the business of growing and selling grapes to home winemakers for more than 100 years, but economics eventually led them to reevaluate their practices. According to Davis’ great grandson, Ken Deaver, producing award-winning wine seemed like the best way to market unsold fruit. In the early days, they offered only Zinfandels, the first of which was bottled in 1985 by Deaver’s father, Kenneth, a man with a true passion for the land he spent his life farming. The selection has since grown to include a number of whites, reds and Ports. They’ve also added Primitivo, Sangiovese, Fun Fact: The tasting Alicante Bouchette and Petite Sirah vines, but Deaver room’s neighboring B&B, maintains that his favorites among the “complex, intense, Amador Harvest Inn, was scrumptious” offerings are Zinfandels. “We have [one],” brought to life by Ken’s he says, “for every occasion.” Although Deaver wines mother, Barbara “Bobbie” are only available online and in the family-staffed Deaver.

Borjón Winery
11270 Shenandoah Road, Plymouth borjonwinery.com
Jesus and Nora Borjón first came to the Shenandoah Valley by way of Guanajuato, Mexico, more than 30 years ago. While Nora cared for their three children, Jesus worked tirelessly in the local vineyards to build a comfortable life for his family. By 1991, the couple had enough money saved to establish a small labor contracting and vineyard management company, but as their business developed, so too did their desire to one day open a winery of their own. Having spent his entire life among the vines, their son, Isy, shared that dream and was more than qualified to make it a reality. At just 19, his leadership abilities were tested when he took the helm at the family’s contracting company, and by 2009, Borjón Winery’s tasting room had officially opened its doors. With the help of his parents, Isy and his wife, Eliana, have become the proud owners of a thriving winery where quality and production levels continue to grow with each passing year. When it comes to his trade, Isy’s philosophy is simple—he believes all good wine starts in the vineyard. “You can’t make good wine without good grapes,” he explains, “and you can’t make good wine with bad grapes.” The Fun Fact: Borjón’s rise from farm hand to winemaker has been a swift popular cowboy logo was one within the Borjón family, thanks in part to the designed by Isy and based help of supportive friends and neighbors. “Grape on a photo of his father. growing and winemaking is a form of art,” Isy shares. “It’s nice to bring this art together that, in turn, will bring people together.”

TASTING TIPS “Remember, we are a business like any other food or drink establishment, not a free bar. When going to a restaurant, you don’t ask to sample eight different foods at no charge.”—Andy Friedlander, Andis Wines “If possible, leave the children and pets at home, or provide adult supervision. Wine country is Disneyland for adults, not kids.”—Andy Friedlander, Andis Wines “Remember that it is called ‘wine tasting’ not ‘wine drinking.’ Don’t be afraid to dump or spit your wine, especially if you are going to multiple wineries.”—Mike and Carey Skinner, Skinner Vineyards and Winery “Don’t be intimidated by wines of which you aren’t familiar. Ask questions. Odds are you aren’t alone, especially these days as many wineries are breaking from the mainstream varieties. Be open to new wines and styles. You may find you prefer something new.”—Mike and Carey Skinner, Skinner Vineyards and Winery “Don’t drink it if you don’t like it.”—Ken Deaver, Deaver Vineyards “If at someone’s house, taste a small amount first—go back for more if you like it.”—Ken Deaver, Deaver Vieyards “Old pairing rules cans still apply, as they were created to match flavors of wine with flavors of food, which enhance the overall experience. However, as we craft more complex and flavorful wines, these rules have evolved and are not absolute.”—Ken Deaver, Deaver Vineyards “Cut back on the amount of perfume or makeup you wear when tasting wine. They will ruin the aromas and flavors in the wine.”—Isy Borjón, Borjón Winery

11000 Shenandoah Road, Plymouth andiswines.com
Ask Andy Friedlander how he became a vintner and he’ll give it to you straight: “It was my wife’s idea. She felt I was slowing down in my old age and needed another challenge!” Friedlander and his wife, Janis, hail from Hawaii where early “challenges” included successful careers in commercial real estate and investment management. A decade spent splitting time between island life and the Napa Valley inspired the couple’s appreciation for fine reds and whites, so in 2010, they broke ground on Andis, a sprawling, state-of-the-art winemaking facility and tasting room. Their goal was not only to produce delicious, balanced wines, but to leave a minimal carbon footprint in the process. By building the winery on an East-West axis, they ensured summer sun would reflect off the tasting room’s roof (rather than shine through its windows), thus significantly reducing the need for air conditioning. In the barrel and fermentation Fun Fact: rooms, evaporative cooling is used in place of AC, During our visit, which creates a better atmosphere for the wines and Andy himself keeps energy costs down.

Gwinllan Estate Vineyard and Winery 7060 Fairplay Road, Somerset gwinllanestate.com
Having grown grapes among the harsh Siberian winds of Southern England, husband and wife team Gordon and Chris Pack knew a good thing when they saw it in El Dorado County nearly 10 years ago. Originally from the UK, they found the retirement project they’d been searching for in a piece of Fair Play wine country. “There seemed a relaxing feel around Fun Fact: the property, a little piece of heaven,” Gordon The family’s 87-year-old explains. “[It] was perfect.” The next seven years matriarch travels would see them build their dream vineyard (wine to Gwinllan from cave and all) from the ground up with help from the UK each year their son and Winemaker, Jonathan. By 2009, it to work in the was finally time to harvest the fruits of their labor, vineyard and but four more years would pass before the winery winery during harvest season. was officially open for business. Gwinllan, which is Welsh for vineyard, welcomed its first guests in April 2013 with a selection of five wines; current offerings include Chardonnay, Riesling, Zinfandel and a Rhone-style blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. Unlike the vast majority of wineries in the area, the Packs sort their grapes by hand to ensure that only the best fruit fills each bottle and rely on help from their trio of border collies (plus area hawks) for pest control, thus eliminating the need for harmful chemicals. “We farm our grapes for high quality and flavor,” Gordon explains. “When determining when to harvest…the decision is made on grape flavors, not sugar content.” For the Packs, each harvest begins and ends with a Champagne toast among the vines and marks the gathering of four family generations, including sons Gareth and Duncan. It’s a proud tradition that reaffirms Gordon’s philosophy that “a great glass of wine can create a timeless memory.”

As we enjoyed the company of the Packs and their adorable winery dog, Abby, our guide was busy artfully arranging a feast fit for a king atop white linen tablecloths and hand-painted plates. We emptied our glasses just in time to find a selection of baguettes and crackers waiting to be topped with all the fine cheeses, sliced meats, olives, fresh fruit and jam our hearts could possibly desire. And for dessert? Chocolate chip cookies and raspberries. As if our day of wine tasting wasn’t decadent enough already, the family-style spread before us truly took our breath away. NOTE: Sierra Wine Experience offers various picnic options for less than $20/person; or pack your own lunch and let the company provide table settings.

WHAT’S TRENDING Affordability “Not all good wines have to be expensive or snooty. Wines are being made to fit the personalities of any and all people, making it more fun.” —Isy Borjón, Borjón Winery
Exploration “People are open to less mainstream concepts in wine, looking for new wines, varietals, regions, etc. The usual suspects of Cabernet and Chardonnay are being traded for fun varietals like Grenache, Mourvedre, Grenache Blanc, Picpoul Blanc, and under-the-radar regions like El Dorado and Fair Play are being sought out by people that want [a] different wine country experience from the more popular regions.”—Mike and Carey Skinner, Skinner Vineyards and Winery “Seeing so many people trying different and obscure varietals.”—Andy Friedlander, Andis Wines “I feel that more wine consumers are trying and ordering ‘uncommon’ varieties of wine.”—Hunter McGillivray, Dono dal Cielo, an Estate Vineyard
Bold Flavors “Fruit-forward, full-bodied reds.”—Ken Deaver, Deaver Vineyards
Green Winemaking “Sustainability in the vineyard and winery.”—Gordon, Chris and Jonathan Pack, Gwinllan Estate Winery
Rosé “I would consider the rosé style of wines as becoming ever more popular, but especially dry rosé wines. These types of wines are common to Northern France and are gaining in popularity.”—Richard Stading, Auriga Wine Cellars
Quality Over Quantity “I believe the trend is to control all facets, from growing through processing and bottling to ensure the quality of wine is the best a customer can expect. This is our mission statement and we know it works because we taste all our wines and pour them with great confidence.” —Austin Lindemann, River Rock Ranch Winery

In 1852, Scottish miner James Skinner struck it rich during California’s storied Gold Rush, and within a decade, managed to turn his fortune into one of the Sierra foothills’ first wineries, J. Skinner Native Wine and Brandy. With its capacity to produce more than 15,000 gallons annually, the business flourished well into the early 1900s. Fast forward seven generations and the family business has been resurrected by James’s great-great-great-grandson, Mike, and his wife, Carey. Thanks to a bit of detective work by their son, Kevin, and his wife, Kathy, the present day Skinners discovered their deep Sierra foothill roots in 2006, rebirthed the vineyard and winery, and celebrated the Fun Fact: In the grand opening in 2011. “We were excited tradition of their ancestor, the Skinners plan to use and committed to producing some of the James’s original cellar same varietals that James produced in to age Angelica, Port 1861,” share Mike and Carey, “wines that and Brandy, while the people would enjoy while breaking bread building on top of it will with family and friends.” To that end, the be used as a museum. Skinners have spent the past three years cultivating a collection of carefully farmed, small lot wines that showcase El Dorado County’s most distinctive elements, while making necessary updates along the way. The original winery, for example, was powered by a six-horse engine—“state-of-theart” for its time according to the Skinners—while today’s operation uses a solar-powered facility made from 80 percent recycled steel. Additionally, its North-facing barrel rooms feature automatic windows that allow winter air to provide natural cooling and reduce energy use. But even as they look to the future, it’s clear the 21st century Skinners will never waver in their dedication to honoring the past. “We were recently fortunate to complete the purchase of the site of our family’s original cellar,” Mike says. “The cellar is completely intact from the 1800s.”

Siino’s Pizza, Pasta & Grill Time to Get Saucy by Jennifer Resnicke Photography by Dante Fontana
W
hen Siino’s Pizza, Pasta & Grill opened in May, the only folks who knew how to pronounce its name (see-no) were those who already knew the 25-year-old owner Annalisa Siino. Prior to the opening of Siino’s, Siino was the franchise owner of the Pete’s Restaurant and Brewhouse where Siino’s now resides. The new Italian-American hot spot touts a strong local streak, including a beer lineup that taps into the craft brew craze with offerings from nearby Loomis Basin Brewing Company and Roseville Brewing Company, Lincoln High’s Zebra Burger (pepper jack, avocado and bacon), and sweets from Divine Desserts by Aguirre in Loomis. Excited to get started, we settled into a cushy booth and promptly ordered the garlic twists dusted with Parmesan, which arrived just as promptly as we put in our request. Crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle, they quickly made my comfort-food short list. Even better than the twists themselves was the accompanying marinara sauce. I’m often disappointed by what passes for “marinara,” but this one was truly delectable with it’s rich, robust flavors that tasted like they’d been simmering on Grandma’s stove all day. Up next was one of the namesake’s signature pizzas—the Chicken Garlic Combo— which came out with the same incredible dough, and was topped with a creamy garlic ranch sauce, tender grilled chicken, artichoke hearts, mushrooms, bacon, and red and green onions. Let’s just say the “combo” is spot-on.

A plate of the Italian standby, lasagna, came out steaming with a bed of the crimson marinara, a stripe of creamy Alfredo and two pieces of garlic bread (basically an excuse to sop up more of the delicious sauce). My personal favorite, the Tiramisu La Bombe (from the aforementioned Loomis bakery), not only looked heavenly but as we dug into the luscious layers (chocolate

cake, coffee cream mousse, rum-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone mousse), all lovingly wrapped in a thick blanket of chocolate ganache, we knew we’d found another reason to say: “See ya at Siino’s!”

taste DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES Flourless. Recipes for Naturally Gluten-Free Desserts by Nicole Spiridakis (Chronicle Books, 2014, $27.95)
• 5 oz. semisweet chocolate • 1/2 cup unsalted butter • 1-1/4 cups packed light or dark brown sugar • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1-1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-by-8-inch square pan with aluminum foil, and then lightly grease the foil with vegetable oil. In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and transfer to a large bowl; add the brown sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, salt and vanilla. Stir well to combine. Spread the batter in the pan; smooth with a rubber spatula. Bake until the brownies are dry on top and almost firm to the touch, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for one hour. Gently lift the foil out from the pan after cooling to remove the brownies. Place on a cutting board and refrigerate for up to one hour to fully set the brownies.
dinner date Food and Beer for the Season Remove from the fridge and, using a serrated knife, cut into 16 brownies. Serve at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
NINKASI BREWING COMPANY VANILLA OATIS OATMEAL STOUT Ninkasi Brewing Company is a budding new brewery out of Eugene, Oregon, that’s beginning to gain popularity in the craft beer community. Started in 2006 and named after the Sumerian goddess of beer, Ninkasi is known for its full-flavored and hop-centric brews that tantalize the palate and stretch the boundaries of different beer styles. One great example of this is their Vanilla Oatis Oatmeal Stout, which takes the traditional flavors of quintessential oatmeal stout—roasted malt, chocolate and smooth oats—and infuses fresh vanilla bean to create a delicious and velvety, 7.2 percent alcohol-by-volume brew. Pairing the Vanilla Oatis with this month’s Double Chocolate Brownies is a no-brainer—they’re both decadent and sweet, with just a touch of the chocolate for bitterness. —Heather Zamarripa, Executive Chef, 36 Handles Pub & Eatery

Because these brownies lack flour, they are more gooey than a traditional brownie, but I like them for that. It’s best to let the brownies rest for a few hours after baking—even overnight—as the longer they sit, the firmer they become. The finished product is “fudgy” and smooth from the melted chocolate. Cut the brownies into small portions, as they are very rich.

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? While working in hotel management in the early ’80s, my hobby was a new sport called triathlon. I dreamed of becoming a “pro” and making a living training and racing, but soon realized I was better suited to teach others how to get fit and healthy.

How are you involved with both the community and your customer? TBF supports local charitable organizations such as Girls on the Run Sacramento; works with community organizations like Folsom Auburn Trail Riders Action Coalition; helps youth organizations like Cycling Development; partners with business organizations like Dignity Health, Bicycles Plus and Spare Time Athletic Clubs; and encourages athletic groups such as the Sacramento and Elk Grove Triathlon Clubs. Why is your staff the best in the business? Bill Driskill The staff and coaches of TBF Racing and TBF Training do what they do because of their passion for the multi-sport lifestyle. They love sharing that passion with customers and TOTAL BODY FITNESS – are rewarded by the sincere appreciation that comes pouring back from the athletes at our MULTI-SPORT RACING events.

football nation Fans Gone Wild by Tom Mailey
66 stylergbr.com - September 2014
than me. (Just kidding, Raider fan. Really. Please, put down your duct tape medieval broadsword and back away.) Combined, those two teams have reached the Super Bowl 11 times, winning it eight. Their fans haven’t just been to the mountain—they have a time-share up there. The Seahawks, on the other hand, have made it to the Super Bowl just twice. The first time wasn’t until 2006—30 years after they came into the league. And they got beat by the Steelers 21-10, which caused me to lose a bet and wear a yellow and black dress…in public. Talk about psychological issues. But then, last season, we ‘Hawk fans finally reached that summit ourselves. Our boys won it all, clobbering the Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIIILOLOMGWTF. (Note to NFL: It’s time to start using real numbers). All those years of unrequited love, finally,
gloriously, paid off. I went online and ordered a Super Bowl champs Seahawks license plate holder for my new F150. That’s when I experienced it: a new level of fan respect that I’d never enjoyed before—the kind that only comes when your team wins it all and other fans are jealous of you. And I can tell you the exact moment it happened. Weirdly enough, it was at a baseball game. Last June, my wife and I were at our son’s travel team’s tournament. There was a break, and since Sammy was hanging with his teammates, Vickie and I retreated to our truck. She was in front, with the seat tipped back, reading, while I was laying down in the back, trying to catch a nap. The windows were down and the left rear door was open to accommodate my feet. We’d been there five minutes when we heard a couple walking past the tailgate. They were coming from a direction that allowed the woman to see that one of our doors was open, but she couldn’t see my feet. We heard her say, “Oh, their door’s open. Should we shut it?” The husband, however, had apparently taken note of that brand new Seahawks license plate holder. In a flat, even tone, he replied, “&$#! ‘em. They’re Seahawks fans.” I never looked up. I have no idea if they were fans of the 49ers, Broncos, Raiders or some other team. All I know is, it felt awesome. It felt absolutely awesome.

t’s September baby. Are you ready for some footbaaaall?! I am. And that’s not something I’ve always been able to say, at least with a smile on my face. See, since 1976, the year they came into the league, I’ve been a die-hard Seahawks fan. Growing up in the Northwest, with a brother who held season tickets and a dad who used to write letters to the team suggesting plays and personnel moves, I didn’t have a choice. But it hasn’t always been easy: The Seahawks have had some lean times, with plenty of years where they were pretty much eliminated from the playoffs before the season even began. When I moved to this area in November of 1992, the San Francisco 49ers were nearing the end of their awesome run with Joe Montana. The region was awash in red and gold as the ‘Niners went 14-2 before losing the conference finals to the eventual Super Bowl champs, the Dallas Cowboys. That same season? The ‘Hawks finished 2-14 and our big highlight was that Mark McGwire’s brother, Dan, was one of our three astoundingly ineffective quarterbacks. When people learned I was a Seahawks fan, the reaction was always somewhere between pity and a vague kind of awe that I would admit such a thing. Two years later, with Steve Young at the helm, San Francisco would win their fifth ring. The ‘Hawks would go 6-10 and have to vacate the Kingdome for three games because of falling ceiling tiles. Those first few years living here made me jealous of 49er fans. I eventually developed a lesser jealousy of Raider fans too, after the team returned from Los Angeles—although not of the whole Halloween costume thing, which is better addressed by a psychologist
