I
could really go for a glass of wine right now. After reading this month’s feature, “Be Wine Wise” by Megan Wiskus—a treasure trove of wine secrets straight from area connoisseurs—my mouth will not stop watering. Might I have a wineloving problem? Thank you for the resounding “no.” You, too, will see what I mean when you enlighten yourself with this dizzying harvest of wine secrets, trivia and tips. Word to the wise, the wine-wise that is, some might start referring to you as a “cork dork” if you spill too many of these fun facts in casual conversation. So I say now is the time, my friends, to pour a nice glass or order your favorite bottle, then swirl and savor your newfound knowledge. Also this September, we celebrate the fall color palette “It’s funny how that has begun eight glasses to transform the of water a surrounding day seems landscape. impossible, but Our everyday eight glasses vantages—whether of wine can be driving to and from done at one work or activities, meal.” taking a jog around —Unknown the neighborhood, walking the dogs at a local park, and my favorite, visiting a nearby vineyard—give ample opportunity to glean inspiration by simply noticing nature and all its splendor. For even more artful exploration, flip the pages to Heather L. Becker’s “The Ones to Watch,” a profile of “small-town artists doing big things.” Heck, double your pleasure by sipping a glass of wonderful wine while you peruse some amazing area talent.

A: In addition to Lighthouse, providing clean water and enough food to those in need; stopping endangered animal poaching before extinction; and ending human trafficking.

Currently, McDonald is the executive director of Lighthouse Counseling and Family Resource Center (lighthousefrc.com) in Lincoln, a group that provides counseling, education programs and community resources at no cost to Placer County residents. On November 19, the organization will host their annual Celebrity Roast, a fund-raiser for the nonprofit’s family support programs (for tickets, call 916-6453300). Looking back, McDonald couldn’t be happier with how his life has changed since 1996. “I was pretty unfulfilled in those days,” he confesses. “I [now realize] that the highest purpose is to serve. It’s not about what you can accumulate.” — Amber Foster

n 1996, Gary McDonald had it all: a thriving restaurant business in Pittsburgh, a house, two motorcycles and a Mercedes. And then he lost everything. He sold his restaurant to a friend, who unexpectedly drove the business into the ground. Within seven years, McDonald was left without a penny to his name. “I went from riches to rags,” he recalls. “I had to start over.” The experience proved an awakening. McDonald soon began pursuing a new career—working for nonprofit organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and the Food Bank of Northern California. He later helped found Feeding America San Diego, a food bank that became the ninth largest non-medical nonprofit in the city. During the San Diego fire storms of 2007, he worked behind the

season’s eatings
ask the expert Q: How can you differentiate between good and bad olive oil?
A: It’s practically impossible to tell a good olive oil from a bad one by appearance. Your best bet is to purchase oil from a place that will allow you to taste it. Good olive oil should taste like fresh olives, and the feel in your mouth should be crisp. It shouldn’t taste metallic or flabby and should be stored in a dark container. Enemies to oil are light and heat. Look for a crush or a harvest date, and do not trust a sell-by date. Purchase an appropriate size for your consumption; although cost effective, it does you no good to buy a larger size just to have it turn rancid on you. — Deb Manley and Jennifer Holden,Owners Pairings 701 Pleasant Grove Boulevard Suite 180, Roseville 916-772-7247, pairingsevoo.com
WHAT’S IN
SEASON? Bartlett Pears
W
hen imagining the perfect pear, most people picture the Bartlett. This popular, farm-fresh fruit is available at Placer 14 stylergbr.com - September 2015
County farmers’ markets throughout the late-summer season and into early winter.
SELECTION AND STORAGE Farmers harvest Bartlett pears before they’re ripe; if they ripen on a tree, they’ll develop natural deposits of lignin and cellulose in the flesh, which causes a gritty texture. The fruit is perfect for your dish when the yellow Bartlett’s skin transforms from green to yellow and when the red Bartlett’s skin transforms from a dark red to a brilliant red. If you prefer your pear to have a crunch and be tart, go with the yellow Bartlett when the skin is green. If you prefer a sweeter fruit, pick a Bartlett when its skin is brilliant red. All pears ripen at room temperature, so only refrigerate them if you want to slow the ripening process. — Elyssa Seals For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat and local products, visit placergrown. org and foothillfarmersmarket.com.
DID YOU KNOW? The Bartlett pear, in both yellow and red varieties, carries the true pyriform pear shape: a rounded bell on the bottom half and a smaller neck or stem end. It has the most distinctive pear flavor, and is perfect for eating as a snack or as an addition to any summertime dish. Looking to add some tartness to a cabbage slaw? Try adding a little of the yellow Bartlett while it’s still green. Want a sweet element in your fruit napoleon? Slice up a red Bartlett when it ripens for the perfect taste. Either way, these pears will satisfy the pickiest of eaters. One of the best ways to enjoy the fruit is in this month’s Prosciutto-Wrapped Bartlett Pears with Honey recipe (to view it, visit stylergbr.com) prepared by PlacerGROWN Chef Courtney McDonald. The combination of farm-fresh ingredients and easy preparation makes it an instant appetizer favorite.

Porter’s House of Draft
P
orter’s House of Draft isn’t what you’d expect from your average brewhouse— they know how to kick it up a notch. When I burst through the doors in 106-degree heat, Porter’s was like a little oasis welcoming me back to livability. Its dark, svelte décor made me feel like I’d stumbled into a trendy cave with a liquor license—between the bare-bulb light fixtures, grey leather booths and comfortable ambiance, I sensed it’s quickly emerging hotspot viability. With a range of continually rotating beers on tap—from IPAs and pale ales, to porters, stouts and more (many from local breweries)—Porter’s is a beer lover’s paradise. I felt that the perfect pairing for such a hot day would be Rubicon Brewing Company’s Grapefruit Hopsauce and the Brew House Steak Salad. I don’t usually pat myself on the back, but this decision was as awesome as the pairing itself: The IPA was crisp, hoppy and refreshing with intense notes of grapefruit, and the salad complemented the flavors perfectly, with its tangy balsamic dressing over crunchy mixed greens and large, flavorful strips of steak. It was the ideal lunch to cool me off, fill me up, and—if you’re a beer connoisseur—the perfect place to enjoy a round, year-round. Porter’s House of Draft, 7456 Foothills Boulevard, Suite 8, Roseville. 916-749-4791, portershod.com. — Adrianna Valencia

Served three up and rolled to resemble crepes then dusted with powdered sugar and a dash of lemon juice, they’re moist, zingy and tasty sans syrup.

“The Crab Cake and Avocado Benedict with Hash Browns at Ginger’s in Roseville is a morning meal of champions.

The year Bing Crosby purchased three acres of land outside Auburn and deeded it back to the native Os-Sut Tribe. The land became the Maidu Indian Cemetery, located in South Auburn. Two acres was Os-Sut burial ground, until the tribe was threatened with loss of title. Local Catholic Priest Reverend JJ Hynes and Baptist Missionary Harold Robinson brought Crosby’s attention to the Os-Sut’s plight, and then arranged for the purchase of the two acres plus an additional acre for future use.
“The Mango Stuffed French Toast at Rocklin’s Four Sisters Café is a dish worth waking up for. They fill a flakey croissant with sweet mango cream cheese and dip it in spiced custard before grilling and topping the masterpiece with fresh bananas, a sprinkle of toasted coconut and hot maple syrup.” foursisterscafe.com

5 Dehydration Myths by Kristen Castillo
Y
our body needs water to do everything—from keeping you cool to helping your heart pump and digesting food. Drink too little and your body won’t function well. Think you know what it takes to be water wise? Read on as local doctors debunk five dehydration myths.
“There are no studies that actually support this,” says internal medicine physician Anthony Retodo, M.D., medical services director at Kaiser Permanente Folsom Medical Offices. He says determining how much water you need depends on your daily activity, exercise level and diet, as well as your personal physiology and how much fluid your body needs to keep cool.
Myth 2 / You Can’t Drink Too Much “It is certainly possible to drink too much, [which] leads to the issue of hyponatremia in exercisers who overhydrate,” says sports medicine specialist Jeffrey Tanji, M.D., associate medical director of the Sports Medicine Program at UC Davis Health System, explaining hyponatremia refers to low sodium in blood serum, which is typically lost by sweating and then replaced by drinking lots of plain water. With symptoms like passing out, weakness, confusion and loss of consciousness, hyponatremia can be a medical emergency.
Myth 3 / All Drinks Are Created Equal “Water [is] fine for shorter, easier workouts of up to 45 minutes where you’re not sweating a lot,” says Roopinder Poonia, M.D., a nephrologist for Mercy Medical Group, a service of Dignity Health Medical Foundation. “However, if you’re doing a more high intensity activity or workout where you’ll be sweating a lot, especially in warmer w e a t h e r, h a v e a sports drink.” That’s because sports drinks have electrolytes— dissolved minerals like sodium, calcium and magnesium, as well as carbohydrates, which are quickly absorbed in the bloodstream. Electrolytes “play an important role in helping your body regulate fluid and maintain 22 stylergbr.com - September 2015
KEEP YOUR HYDRATION LEVELS IN CHECK • The Institute of Medicine recommends adults consume 91-125 ounces of water a day from drinks and foods. • Know the symptoms of mild dehydration such as thirst, dry mouth, weakness and headache. • Make sure your urine is clear to pale yellow; dark yellow urine indicates dehydration. an optimal balance,” Dr. Poonia says. Or, consider sipping coconut water, which Dr. Tanji calls, “a naturally occurring sports drink with the proper mixture of water, electrolytes and carbohydrates.” You might want to reach for chocolate milk too since, as Dr. Tanji notes, it has leucine, an amino acid that helps the body recover from exercise. Stay away from caffeinated drinks and alcohol, which can actually cause dehydration, and avoid juices since their high sugar content can upset your stomach.
Myth 4 / Only Drink Water When You’re Thirsty Don’t wait to be thirsty to start drinking H2O! “You must be proactive about drinking to avoid getting behind,” says Dr. Poonia, noting the body loses water all the time through sweating, breathing, urine and stools. “Staying hydrated is particularly essential if you’re out in the sun, doing physical activity, or working in the heat,” he says.
Myth 5 / Replenish Fluids After You Exercise It’s smart to quench your thirst after exercising, but it’s better to drink before and during your workout too. “The way to know if you’re drinking enough water is to simply weigh yourself before and after you exercise,” says Dr. Retodo. “If your weight is the same, then you are drinking enough.”

rather the beginning of a very long road for the Kinkle family. “Your skin is your largest organ that is also in your mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines and eyes. All of these areas are affected by RDEB,” Kirsti explains. While the medical tests, procedures and surgeries can be harrowing, Kirsti says faith and friends help get them through the hard times. “The emotional side of dealing with a child who has such a serious condition was, and is, the biggest barrier we’re trying to overcome, but the support and prayers of family, friends and even strangers, has helped us immensely,” she says. Though Kiira Faith has been through a multitude of surgeries and procedures, including a bone marrow transplant this past summer, Kirsti emphasizes that her daughter has a strong spirit and that natural, mischievous toddler spark. “Kiira is an active, smiley, happy baby. She loves her sisters, music and grabbing things she shouldn’t!” Kirsti says. When asked what people can do to support Kiira Faith and other children with RDEB, Kirsti says the answer is to spread awareness. “Tell people about RDEB and hopefully a rare condition like this can get more funding for research.” She also rec-

or local parents Jason and Kirsti Kinkle, the celebration of the birth of their daughter Kiira Faith quickly turned alarming when they noticed her skin and lips were bleeding. After a tumultuous 10 days in the NICU, Kiira Faith was diagnosed with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a rare and possibly life-threatening genetic condition that causes blistering and tearing of the skin from often even the slightest friction. Genes determine a plethora of traits, from the color of our hair to the shape of our toes, and everything in between. Yet, sometimes, the unique set of genes we inherit from each parent carries a piece of a problematic puzzle that, once joined, becomes a hindrance to our health. RDEB is one of the rare genetic conditions that can occur. Having RDEB means Kiira Faith’s body doesn’t make collagen VII, which is needed to hold together the layers of skin. Kirsti explains, “RDEB isn’t just a skin condition you can cure with a certain diet or cream. It’s genetic and a mutation in your DNA, and you can’t change your DNA.” The challenges Kiira Faith comes up against can often seem like insurmountable feats, but Kirsti, along with her husband Jason and their two other daughters, are determined to help Kiira Faith live her life to the fullest. “RDEB threw our family a huge curveball. Although it took some major adjustments, we were still able to take a family vacation, continue with the girls’ activities, church activities and even fit in some work.” Getting a diagnosis was not the end, but

hen Father Michael Carroll of St. Teresa of Avila Parish in Auburn opened the church hall doors for five nights last Christmas, it was just the miracle those with nowhere to go had wished for. The homeless received food, a place to sleep, a hot shower, and even watched a movie—all this, because Father Mike wanted to not only open the doors, but “our hearts” to them. What happened afterward was something of a miracle in itself. The old minimum-security barracks at DeWitt Center in Auburn had become vacant. So Father Mike, along with multiple faith-based organizations and businesspeople who formed Right Hand Auburn (RHA), sought to turn the barracks into a shelter that would temporarily offer basic living amenities to the homeless. Following permission from the Placer County Board of Supervisors, RHA ran the shelter under a 90-day trial period beginning in June, for 16 hours a day, and provided two meals, showers, laundry facilities and beds for up to 47 homeless men and women every day. Within the first six weeks of operation, they served nearly 100 guests, with volunteers of America (VoA) running day-to-day operations. Visitors supported each other with

words of encouragement and did chores to keep the shelter clean. Through their conversations and appearance, you would never know they were homeless. All they’d needed was a hand. “The ‘right hand’ is a long-standing symbolic gesture—to greet a person, lift a person up, lend a person a helping hand, provide assistance or extend a hand of hope,” explains Elizabeth Sands, RHA volunteer and public relations coordinator. Leo McFarland, VoA regional director, says: “We have seen a dramatic improvement in the physical and emotional condition of our guests during their extended stay with us. The ability to bathe daily, eat regularly and sleep without fear of assault, all play into the emotional improvement of each of our guests.” According to Father Mike, inadequate mental health services, unavailability of affordable housing facilities for low-income groups, and the overall breakdown of family units unable to support each other during hard times are some societal factors that need addressing. RHA strives to address
these issues directly, through services that result in stabilization, housing, supportivecase management and impacting the overall nature of the individual. This is America, they assert—no one should have to live without food or shelter. In order to keep RHA up and running, Brigit S. Barnes, land use and real estate attorney and president of RHA, says: “We need financial contributions. We also need churches and community groups to assist with food preparation, especially dinners.” In order to raise money, RHA is having their first fund-raising dinner at The Ridge Golf Club on September 10. Their hope is to be able to expand their operations to serve many more people around the clock, and allow them to have access to shelter, education, vocational training, job placements and other aids. “Folks in RHA all either have, or have had someone in their family ‘on the road’...so this is personal for all of us,” shares Barnes.

1 / Rack and Roll For those who don’t have an admired collection, just a few loose bottles, a quick and easy storage solution—one that won’t break the budget (or the bottles)—is preferred. Installing an extra kitchen cabinet or converting one that isn’t often used is a great way to store your Sauvignon while it’s not being enjoyed. For extra storage and better keeping, add racking to the cabinet to help separate the bottles to keep them tactfully taken care of.

2 / Island Oasis One of our favorite storage solutions is converting a fixture you already own into something brand new— plus you’ll feel like you just scored a new piece of furniture. Say you have a kitchen island with built-in shelving. While that’s great for cookbooks and dishes, it’s not suitable for circular storage. Creating a cubby system within your shelving helps to control your wine stock and keeps it neat and tidy. For bottles that need extra attention, install a temperature-controlled fridge in a cove next to the cubbies—your Chardonnay will thank you.

If your wine interests challenge those of a skillful sommelier, we suggest custom storage. Taking care of a prized wine collection requires tender love and care, so knowing the specific storage requirements for your bottles often requires a custom job. As you know, wine must be kept out of direct sunlight to keep its flavor intact; it should also be kept away from places with strong aromas (i.e. the kitchen), and should always be kept in a cool, dark place so as not to alter its wonderful composition.
4 / Interactive Art Many take pride in their wine collection. Whether you’re showing off a few cherished scores or are just looking for something to adorn a blank wall, you’re in luck. Wine has quickly become a decorative theme and its storage has followed suit. Hang a rack fixture above a bar cart to create a cozy cocktail corner or build a large wall shelf out of distressed wood to artfully display your Merlots. Creating a piece of art that you can admire and enjoy? Now that’s good home décor! While we’re a fan of decorative displays and suitable storage, the best way to properly take care of your wine collection is to enjoy it, so grab a glass and relax knowing your wine is being kept safe and sound. Cheers!

Perhaps it’s the slower pace and homegrown hospitality of the countryside, or maybe it’s the majestic beauty of the mountains, rivers and trees. Whatever the secret ingredient is, our area seems to beckon to the best amongst artists—from photographers and painters to set designers and illustrating innovators. By keeping a finger on the pulse of this burgeoning scene, Style handpicked this selection of up-and-coming artists—only a sampling of the tenacious talent that calls this area home. You’d be hard-pressed not to be blown away by what these artists are creating, as indeed these are the ones to watch.

orn and raised in Ukraine, Margarita Chaplinska’s glowing, light-filled oil paintings of portraits and landscapes have consistently won “Best in Show” awards at local museums, fairs and art centers. Teaching in the traditional European style—which is based in classical technique and fundamentals—at her art studio in Roseville, Chaplinska enlightens others to her ability of tuning in to the extraordinary in the everyday. “I hope that through my paintings people can see and feel the beauty of human nature, soul and life.” illumination I-80 to Truckee
Too Much Oil
HLB: What inspires you? MC: Ordinary things inspire me—nothing special. [I try to] illuminate an everyday image with the painting of light. The most important thing (in my paintings) is the combination of light and shadow and how this describes emotion. I guess it’s the way light reacts to the everyday, and then the development of techniques that exhibit that light. HLB: Has your Ukrainian heritage influenced you? MC: Being from Ukraine and now living here, I appreciate the nature and culture of where I was born. It’s very different from here, and I appreciate

the memory of that different place. I spent a lot of time in art schools and ultimately at the Academy of Fine Art in Kiev, learning classical methods in watercolor and oils. My early attention to watercolor has affected the way I use oils now. HLB: Why oils? MC: My attraction to oils is primarily based on texture. I’m currently experimenting with using oils in different ways, strokes and combinations of color, and exploring how to combine abstraction and the decorative to my realistic figurative compositions. HLB: How do you handle setbacks? MC: I work and practice without stopping. Even negative results will lead you to progress in the future. My best work has always been done immediately after my biggest failures. HLB: You teach many young artists. What’s your best tip? MC: Begin with the techniques and advice of the old masters and then develop your own informed style. artchief.com

ocklin resident Shane Grammer creates imaginative and colorful illustrations, as well as large-scale installations. Through SG Studios, he’s been commissioned by clients all over the world to design and craft masterpieces— from popular Disney figures to larger-thanlife sculptures straight from one’s wildest dreams. He’s also involved in the Themed Entertainment Association. Although Grammer travels often on business to metropolitan cities, he says it’s always great to return to the slower pace of home. HLB: Your art is industrial. What materials do you use? SG: A lot of different mediums: large foam blocks, steel armature, positive carving, fire rated epoxy, fiberglass, clay and wood. They’re very industrial construction materials that require heavy-duty tools and processes.

HLB: What were you like as a young artist? SG: I wouldn’t do art until I was forced to, and then I would get crazy about it! As a kid, I took art for granted—it wasn’t something that was always on my mind, but the projects I had to complete at school often piqued my interest and involvement in pursuing it. HLB: How did you get started with the Themed Entertainment Association? SG: Graffiti and mural work with youth groups and churches are what really got me started. This led me to traveling ministries, specifically theatrical ministry productions, which introduced me to makeup, stage props and stage sets. Around that time, I met a Hollywood sculptor who inspired me and launched me into the world of themed environments, design and fabrication. HLB: Any major influences? SG: Definitely Walt Disney, along with George Lucas and Steve Jobs. HLB: Any advice for the business aspect of art? SG: Network! Learn to build relationships and a tribe. Most artists are consumed by their art—so in tune with what they’re creating—that they aren’t taking the time to develop a network or a platform to sell their work or creative services. My advice to young artists in art school would be to take a few business and marketing courses to force their brain to begin thinking of the other aspects for longevity and success in the art world. sgstudiosinc.com September 2015 - stylergbr.com 37

rank P. Ordaz returned to the basics of oil and pastel after years as a matte painter for the movie industry, working on sets like ET and Star Wars. As a child, Ordaz dove into art—creating the beauty he didn’t see growing up in East L.A. At his gallery in Auburn, he teaches plein air workshops, having trained under the great Sam Hyde, and still enters competitions—recently winning “Best in Show” at the Great California Paint Out. HLB: How’d you grow into a prosperous painter? FPO: I was basically a temperamental drawing tyrant. I drew on anything I could get my hands on. My father, seeing my passion, entered my work in local competitions, and I gained media attention as this precocious kid competing with adults. Soon I was studying with a portrait master and later I enrolled at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. I graduated with a degree in illustration and was soon hired to work for George Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic. HLB: Have you had any epic moments that stand out? FPO: Michael Jackson came by to look at our painted backgrounds, and when he came over to my painting—while holding the hand of his pet chimpanzee—he said: “You all paint so beautifully. If I could do this, I would give up what I do.” I looked at him and said: “I don’t think you’d like the pay!” HLB: Advice to struggling artists? FPO: Gain mastery of your craft, and become an authority on your subject. When the walls crowd in, walk away and start something else. Avoid overworking—simplicity is best. Accept new challenges, don’t be afraid, and have courage and endurance. Respect your clients and those who like your work, accept criticism, and learn to paint with people watching and asking questions. See other’s work, avoid jealousy, and celebrate the success of other artists.
Frank P. Ordaz
HLB: What do you love about living in Auburn? FPO: We have a thriving arts community and I’m part of the Auburn Arts Commission, which promotes art in public spaces. We’re also beautifully nestled against the foothills and have access to the American River Canyon, which provides inspiration for outdoor painting. ordazart.com

ristin Provencher has traveled the globe, and even met her husband while living in Paris. Earning her degree in studio art from San Francisco State University, Provencher has settled back into her hometown of Granite Bay and turned her passion for painting into a lucrative business—designing gorgeously intricate murals for businesses, theatre sets and private clients both here and abroad. HLB: How do you begin a mural? KP: From inspirations or dreams I have. I keep a journal where I sketch my dream every morning; this helps me practice my drawing skills and keeps me in touch with my creative brain.
HLB: Has Paris influenced your art? KP: My husband Christian Lejeau, an amazing artist as well, educated me on French art, which has a large influence. I love going back because it feeds my artistic soul. I’m able to refine my pieces so they stand out amongst the millions of artists living there. It’s the healthy competition and community of artists that’s hard for me to find in other places. HLB: How do you handle artist’s block? KP: Art is healing, so when it gets tough—financially or even creatively, and focuses too much on the outcome rather than the process—I just breathe and scribble or paint whatever I want, however I want. It mostly looks like my three-year-old son’s work but it allows me to connect back into the joy and essence of creative play—the main importance of art for me. HLB: If you weren’t an artist, what would you be? KP: I’d like to be a dancer. I’m really bad with rhythm, so watching ballet gives me the chills. I admire people who can find that beat and express a story with their body. sehkah.com

HLB: What are the recurring themes? KP: I grew up surrounded by creeks, parks and hiking trails, so I feel no matter where I go, I enjoy creating natural scenes. It’s very calming and reminds me of my childhood—camping and running barefoot in the grass. When I lived in Paris, I almost needed to create nature scenes to keep me connected to my roots and not get sucked into the stress of the city.

oomis-based fine art photographer James Hirschinger specializes in architectural, environmental and abstract images, which he now prints on dye-infused aluminum in large-scale producing prints with incredible depth and richness of color. Not having started his “second career” until retiring as Dean of Student Services at Sierra College, Hirschinger is never without his camera and is busy showing and commissioning his work throughout the Sacramento area. HLB: Were you always into photography? JH: As a college student, I wasn’t an art or photography major but was attracted to contemporary abstract paintings by artists such as Franz Klein and Mark Rothko. I believe my photography reflects their style in respect to bold compositions with striking lines and colors. During my senior year, I studied in Europe and completed a photographic essay comparing East and West Berlin before the fall of the Wall. The experience greatly increased my view of photography as a communication method to show the human condition.

HLB: When do you find the best lighting? JH: The best time to find “inspirational light” is late afternoon, when the sun hits the subject at an angle and bathes it in soft golden light. If I see the subject becoming accentuated in respect to its lines, colors or reflections, I’m very concentrated on making the shot before the light disappears.
Aqua Abstract No. 5-American River
HLB: Do you know instantly if it’ll be a great shot? JH: For my Davos Reflections series, which was taken in Switzerland, I knew as soon as I saw the image on my camera screen that it was a super shot. One of the shots was a vertical composition and the other horizontal and both have been hugely popular. The vertical shot sold at the recent Sacramento Crocker Art Museum Auction for $1,600. HLB: How have you handled competition? JH: As an artist, you will always find someone who seems to do things better than you and that can be either discouraging or inspirational. You have to take “the high road” and learn from those artists who have mastered their medium. Try not to duplicate or copy their style; rather, take it to another realm with your own interpretation. hirschingji@gmail.com

“If there’s a year printed on the label, it’s a vintage wine, which means it’s primarily made of grapes grown and harvested from that specific year.”

“The grapes hanging on the vine right now will make up the 2015 vintage. ‘Vintage’ refers to the year that the grape is harvested.”
Wine tasting and emptying your wallet seem to be a popular pairing, but did you know our region has a handful of wineries that offer gratis tastings? Be sure to add the 10 spots below to your next wine tasting itinerary.
“When the grapes are on the vine they’re referred to as a ‘variety,’ similar to having different varieties of apples (i.e. Fuji, gala, Granny Smith). A varietal is a wine made from a single specific variety of grape.”
“A wine with ‘estate bottled’ printed on the label means that 100 percent of the wine came from grapes grown or controlled in the same viticulture area and that they were crushed, fermented, aged and bottled on their premises in a continuous process.”

“Chill red wines to about 60 degrees, and then allow the wine to breathe and raise in temperature to 65-67 degrees. For perfect Pinot Noir, drink it at 62 degrees.”
“Warm wine to the proper drinking temperature by holding the glass with your palm up at the top of the stem, between your fingers; this allows your hand temperature to raise the wine’s temperature.”
“A quick way to aerate wine is to pour a glass then insert the cork back into the bottle and shake it. The wine will mix with the oxygen in the headspace, resulting in a softer glass of wine.”

“When ordering wine at a restaurant, the best values are the red blends. This is where the winemaker gets to make their mark showing how the resulting wine is greater than its parts.”

If you’re looking to cool down a wine bottle in a hurry, you can’t use ice, because it would water down the wine. So what’s a thirsty wine lover to do? The traditional technique is to get a small bucket and fill it with ice and water, which chills it down fairly rapidly. If you add salt to the ice-water mixture, it will make the water even cooler and your wine will chill even faster! If you don’t have a bucket and ice around, there are fun plastic ice cubes, or another simple trick is to leave an otter pop in its packaging and slide it into your wine bottle or glass of wine—the frozen otter pop will cool down your wine in no time! — Kevin Luther, winemaker and manager

What am I supposed to do?’ The reason is simple and practical: They’re givABOVE: DR. GROVER LEE, ing you the opportunity to check that the wine is good, which is to say not OWNER, AND KEVIN LUTHER, WINEMAKER AND MANAGER spoiled. There are a few major causes of wine spoilage that you should check for, and you don’t have to be a wine expert to spot them: • The wine smells or tastes vinegary. This should be obvious right off the bat. If the wine smells like vinegar, nail polish remover or paint, send it back. If you aren’t sure, and it tastes fine, then drink to your heart’s content! • The wine smells like sulfur. Does this wine have bold notes of burnt garlic, burnt rubber, cooked cabbage and dog fart? Then it has unacceptable levels of sulfur compounds, and you would be well advised to tell the staff that the wine is undrinkable and to please bring you something delicious instead. Most reputable producers would never release a wine with this level of stinky sulfur, but there is still a lot of French wine out there, so you might run into this now and then. • The wine smells like wet, moldy cardboard. This is why they bring you the cork. The wine, and the cork, will sometimes smell like moldy cardboard. This is known as ‘cork taint’ and it creates an unpleasant smell of moldy cardboard in your wine. It used to be very common (roughly one in 10 bottles in the olden days) but now only occurs in roughly one percent of bottles, and is almost nonexistent from high quality producers such as Wise Villa Winery. This ‘cork taint’ is caused by a mold and fungus creating a chemical called trichloroanisole, or TCA, which is responsible for the unpleasant moldy smell.”

“Hot summer days can destroy the wine you have laying around the kitchen. Daytime temperatures above 70 or 80 degrees are likely to turn your wine to vinegar. To avoid this and other issues, keep wine at a constant temperature, ideally in the 55-65-degree range. They sell wine refrigerators that keep your wine at the perfect temperature, but if you aren’t ready to invest in your wine habit, here are some other options: • If you have your house thermostat set in the 60s or low 70s, it should be fine, but make sure to store wine in a closet or other dark place that’s low to the ground (since heat rises, higher shelves will be too hot), and never in your kitchen (it gets too hot when you’re cooking). • If you don’t have central AC, simply store your wine (including red wine) in the refrigerator. Take red wine out an hour before serving, and it will be perfect. You don’t want to serve any wine, including a red wine, at Sacramento ‘room temperature.’ White wine is best served between 4055 degrees and red wine between 55-65 degrees, which equates to being just above refrigerator temperature for white wines and slightly chilled for red wines.”

Winemaker Phil Maddux has been making wine for over forty years - his roots go back to Sonoma County in the 1970s where he learned to make wine alongside some industry greats. He kept it as a hobby until about ten years ago when he and wife Jill decided to go commercial after they planted a small vineyard on their property in South Auburn which produced five different varietals their first commercial production was a mere 100 cases. Now, having outgrown that space, they operate the winery, tasting room and homestead on a twelve-acre parcel in North Auburn right in the middle of the Placer County Wine Trail and produce about 1,600 cases/year. “We still want to stay small enough where we can do everything ourselves,” says Phil, who not only enjoys the craft involved in winemaking, but also, the farming aspect of being a grape grower. Nowhere is the re-emergence of the winemaking tradition in Placer County more visible than at Lone Buffalo. Open Fri-Sun 12-5pm

Matsuyama Japanese Fusion
sounded pretty interesting, we opted for the more accessible Japanese Tostada to start. Four perfectly browned wonton chips were topped with soft seared tuna, garlic, pepper, white onion, cilantro and tomato—all offset by spicy jalapeño and sweetened by thick teriyaki sauce. It was the perfect fusion dish—slightly eccentric and crazy delicious. As avid sushi fans, we were ecstatic about the wide selection of rolls. After due process scanning the menu, we finally settled on Silvina’s Roll and Philly II (each roll featured about nine pieces of sushi, which was plenty of food for two, very hungry, people).

The Philly II was a refreshing mix of deep-fried shrimp, spicy crab, cucumber, avocado, salmon, thinly sliced lemon and spicy sauces. The tempura batter on the shrimp was slightly sweet and paired well with the zesty lemon and heat of the sauces, resulting in an approachable roll that’d be perfect for sushi newbies. The Silvina—a blend of crispy soft shell crab, spicy sesame-flavored crab, scallions, ono and salmon, then lightly torched with Korean chili sauce and topped with sautéed white onion, jalapeños, ground garlic tuna, red shallots and sauces—was plenty to take in (literally), and by the last bite, we’d only scratched the surface of the multi-faceted flavor profile. Ask for a few pieces of the green tea (my favorite flavor), mochi, and bite through the tacky outer layer of pounded sticky rice covering a delicate ice cream center. It’s a familiar end to an adventurous meal.

taste MEATBALLS FROM RAO’S NYC Food52 Genius Recipes: 100 Recipes That Will Change the Way You Cook by Kristen Miglore (El Dorado Hills native!) (Ten Speed Press, 2015, $35)
• • • • • • • • •
1 lb. lean ground beef 8 oz. ground veal 8 oz. ground pork 2 large eggs 1 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese 1-1/2 tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1/2 small clove garlic, minced Kosher salt or sea salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs 2 cups lukewarm water 1 cup (good-quality olive oil, for cooking Your favorite marinara sauce Pasta, for serving (optional)
Combine the beef, veal and pork in a large bowl. Add the eggs, cheese, parsley and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, blend the ingredients together. Mix the breadcrumbs into the meat mixture. Slowly add the water, 1 cup at a time, until the mixture is quite moist. (If you want to make sure the seasoning is to your liking, fry off a small test meatball, taste, and adjust.) Shape into 2-1/2 to 3-inch balls. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. When the oil is very hot but not smoking, fry the meatballs in batches. When the bottom half of each meatball is very brown and slightly crisp, turn and cook the top half. Remove from the heat and drain on paper towels. Heat the marinara sauce to simmering. Lower the cooked meatballs into the simmering sauce and cook for 15 minutes. Serve alone or with pasta. Makes about 28 meatballs. Genius Tip: This recipe works best if you make your own fresh breadcrumbs (that is, grind or grate some stale bread.) In a pinch, if you need to use finer, storebought breadcrumbs, cut back by half, and don’t use quite as much 56 stylergbr.com - September 2015

SIERRA NEVADA KELLERWEIS Chico-based Sierra Nevada Brewing Company continues to impress with its portfolio of beers—from year-round selections like their legendary Pale Ale (the second best-selling craft beer in the U.S.) and Hop Hunter IPA, to seasonal specialties like Summerfest and Celebration. Since 1980, before craft was “cool,” they’ve been brewing bold, flavorful beers with pure ingredients, using traditional techniques, attention to detail and innovation. In 2010, the brewery was named “Green Business of the Year” by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for their dedication to sustainability. Sierra Nevada Kellerweis is a Bavarian-style, unfiltered wheat beer that’s cloudy, golden-yellow in appearance with aromas of clove and banana, and a lively, creamy body. At 4.8-percent ABV, it’s light and slightly sweet, making it a perfect pairing for a heavy dish like this month’s meatballs. —Christina Leyva, Events Manager, 36 Handles Pub & Eatery

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? We are an award-winning worldwide private detective company and work primarily for insurance carriers, attorneys and private clients. It found us—at age 17 when we walked into a giant building wondering if there was a job inside for us; since we couldn’t type they offered us an investigator position. What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience? Someone slipped and fell on a bagel (yes!), and we had to go undercover. It was something out of a Peter Sellers movie. We learned that we were born to be detectives. Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? Sherlock Holmes for his attention to detail. Where do you go when the going gets tough? Hiking, the gym, martial arts, and with friends. What’s your hidden talent? Not being confrontational and practicing neutrality and compassion. What’s your biggest job perk? Dressing as a ninja every Halloween and believing we are! And finally, customer service is…? Being the best human being we can be and helping others.
Do you know that our editorial is not paid for, nor can it be purchased? In fact, our Introducing and Dine reviews are not paid advertisements. If you’d like your business profiled, please email Megan Wiskus at megan@stylemg.com. Once we determine when your business will be featured, we will contact you to schedule a time to come out and take a photograph. Thank you!

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? Imagine physical therapy as it applies to dogs and cats—that’s what pet rehabilitation is all about. Geriatric animals in need of supportive exercise, post-surgery recuperation, strengthening for performance animals and weight loss are all a part of what I do. The business has two underwater treadmills, two therapeutic lasers, two electrical stimulation units, two ultrasounds, balance equipment and an outside exercise yard. Owners are invited to work alongside their personal coach to help provide encouragement and comfort to their pets. The concept found me when I started seeing dogs being put to sleep because their body gave out before their spirit was ready to go. Now I can offer extended quality of life for many of my patients. How are you involved with both the community and your customer? The rehabilitation center is community supportive by sponsoring and supporting local nonprofits like Healing Heroes (a Rocklin-based group that aids PTSD veterans and their companion dogs), Placer SPCA dogs in need of a “tune up,” and rescue group animals who are nearly ready for adoption. Why is your staff the best in the business? My staff is comprised of me (a licensed veterinarian and certified canine rehabilitation practitioner), my rehab coordinator (a licensed RVT and certified canine rehabilitation practitioner), my manager (a licensed RVT) and two coaches who were handpicked for their compassion and dedication to pet health care.

small business buzz The Perks of Buying Local by Tom Mailey

I’d usually get a triple. The pastry case was stocked daily with muffins, scones and bagels. When my mom was alive, we’d take her there because she loved the lemon bars…LOVED them. Sometimes she’d order two. Hey, when you’re in your 80s, you can do that. What happened? I’m not sure, but a major coffee chain opened a drivethrough-only stand at the other end of the plaza. I would marvel at the number of cars that would queue up in front of that place, when Pipeline was only another 100 yards away. Did they not know? Was actually getting out of the car that much trouble? What I do know is, owning a business is tough. A Gallup poll shows 50 percent fail over the first five years. Other polls indicate as many as four out of five small businesses fail within 18 months. No matter how you look at it, it’s daunting. If you own your own business, my hat’s off to you. You’ve got more courage than me. What’s more, you’re part of
the real engine that drives this country. Forget headline-grabbing multi-national corporations and dot-com start-up zillionaires: The American economy starts with small businesses. The 2010 census says there were over 27 million small businesses in America, and according to the Washington Post, those with 50 employees or less account for a third of all jobs in this country. I don’t know where Tim is now, but I hope he and those he employed land on their feet. I hope the kids in those bands find somewhere else to play. And I hope if you’re out looking for coffee today—or anything else for that matter—that you consider visiting a small business first. They’ll be happy to see you. And they’ll sincerely appreciate your patronage.

y favorite coffee place closed down recently. I’d visit Pipeline (which used to be It’s a Grind) two, sometimes three times a week after waking in my usual stupor from the daily nap I take—because getting up at 3:30 a.m. every morning kinda sucks. But one day this spring, there was a small, handwritten sign on the door saying they were no longer in business. The note was brief, written on a small scrap of paper. There was no explanation, just an apology for the inconvenience and “a sincere thank you” to regular customers for the years of patronage. Just like that. Done. I peered inside. The pastry case was empty. Shelves behind the counter were mostly empty, too. Tables and chairs were still there, though, and a newspaper still lay folded on the arm of an old couch by the window. I knew the owner, Tim, by name but not much more. Over the years we’d made a lot of small talk. He was nice but always busy. He was there a lot. He used to have live music on the patio out front on weekend nights—local artists. Most were young, maybe their first time in a band. They usually weren’t all that bad. Or good. But Tim was giving them a chance to perform, and if nobody in the coffee house came outside to listen, they had a captive audience whenever the westbound FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES AND... light on Foothill at Pleasant WHAT’S COMING Grove turned red.
