Best of Lodi • march 23, 2014 Advertising Supplement

I

t’s heard everywhere from little league to high school to college to the pros. Being the best – number one – also drives businesses to go the extra distance in offering products and service beyond customers’ expectations. This section is about Lodi businesses that were voted

by The Record’s readers as the best in their respective categories. Also listed in the categories are businesses that are considered by you to be “One of the Best.” While strictly speaking there can only be one “Best” in each category, those who are “One of the Best” have much to be proud of as well. In many cases, there were few votes between first and second.

Businesses who got any votes in the Best of Lodi Readers’ Poll should take pride that some of their customers took the time and made the effort to cast a vote for them. Readers registered and completed an online ballot.

That takes loyalty and customers who appreciate the daily effort these businesses make to serve them.

At the top of each category is the business that garnered the most votes. Listed below in order of votes received are the next one or two businesses that also received significant votes in the category.

We thank all the readers who took the time to support their favorite businesses by filling out a ballot. Five readers’ ballots were drawn at random, and they received $50 gift certificates: Debbie Hodkin of Acampo, Kimberly Ryan of Lodi, Toni Taboada of Lodi, Steven Nilssen of Lodi, and Tiffany Gomes of Lodi.

This non-scientific poll was conducted online at www.recordnet.com/ bestoflodi between December 13, 2013 and January 11, 2014 among San Joaquin readers. Questions about Best of Lodi should be directed to the Advertising Department at The Record 209-546-8351. ■

Rosewood – Consistently The Best

E

veryone is welcome at Rosewood… whether you’re just dropping by for an inspired cocktail, a glass of local wine or a fullon award-winning culinary creation. The moment that you walk in the door, whether you are in a tuxedo or a t-shirt and jeans, you will feel welcome and comfortable.

Scott McLeod, the general manager, says, “We just want you here with us to enjoy!”

The patio is a perfect place to sit and sip during the upcoming spring and warm summer nights. The mellow mixture of rich burgundy, elegant dark wood and the tastefully subdued modern element of the semi-exposed kitchen provide an alluring ambience inside as well. The soft lighting provides a relaxed comfortable atmosphere with large windows that open to the historic views of downtown Lodi.

The menu changes with the seasons, offering local delicacies at the peak of their freshness. From appetizers to entrees, the selections are imaginative, and they use as much as 80% of their produce from within 15 miles of Lodi. Seafood is obtained from

the California coast. Rosewood also boasts a trio of pizzas served piping hot from their cherry wood-fired oven, and vibrant fresh salads are plentiful on the menu.

From bubbles to burgundy, their wine list provides a versatile multi-dimensional selection to pair with your choice of food.

The staff has a strong sense of community, sharing a longtime affiliation with Wine & Roses in Lodi – one of the highest-rated resorts in California. They feature many wine selections from local wineries and do not charge a corkage fee for Lodi wines. You can find them on rosewoodbarandgrill.com, Facebook and Twitter. n

New & Again Consignment Furniture Gallery

E

ntering its 8th year as Lodi’s premiere consignment store, it’s a popular destination and its artfully decorated storefront belies the vast square footage full of consigned furniture and other items.

Haley Jackson, owner of New & Again states “It’s a revolving door of inventory.

Some of our customers come in every week just to see what’s new.” What she doesn’t mention is that the items for sale are extraordinarily clean, in good condition and well organized, making for a shopping experience as pleasant as any, especially considering the alluring prices. Their simple 50/50 split of the sales price with the consignors, makes for a stress free, or as they call it, “no fuss no muss” arrangement.

Jackson with her interior design passion, and her father, Alan Levy, with his lifelong love of antiques, auctions, research and entrepreneurship, combined their unique talents and abilities to bring a much needed store of this kind to Lodi. They also conduct estate sales, ensuring that sellers receive top dollar for all goods to be sold. Using their experience and recordkeeping system, satisfied consignors of this service rave about the service level and efficient methods employed to liquidate estates.

Their website, NewandAgainOnline. com, features easy-to-sign-up-for newsletters, merchandise photos, and

clear explanations of how the business works. After 90 days, if items are not sold or removed from the store by the consignor, they are sent to their warehouse, discounted generously and on the first weekend of every month, the warehouse opens for a furniturepalooza-type blowout sale.

This event is key to making room for more incoming merchandise and is enthusiastically attended by the public.

“It’s a team effort,” says Jackson, crediting her devoted staff for the work they do and the all-around success of the business. n

hank you for voting Lodi Montessori Preschool & Kindergarten to be one of the best in Lodi!

Lodi Montessori was founded in August of 2012 by three sisters, Vy Ergonis, Jenni Nino and Jolie Zins.

With their passion to educate young children and provide a service to the community, together, the three joined forces to utilize their teaching experience and professional backgrounds to reopen the oncevacant Montessori school.

After opening, the non-sectarian school has been thriving to serve families with children two through six years of age. Lodi Montessori prides themselves in academics and customer service, and understands the importance of providing a nurturing environment for young children. Their goal is to ensure that your child learns the essential knowledge necessary to succeed in life, through hands-on learning that will help children to visualize important concepts and retain

information long-term.

Lodi Montessori offers traditional Montessori curriculum which emphasizes learning through all five senses, and allows children to learn at their own pace. There are three mixed-aged classrooms, including a “toddler bridge” classroom which transitions potty-trained, academicready students into the preschool classes. All three classroom environments are carefully prepared to guarantee exposure to materials and experiences that develop intellectual along with physical and psychological abilities.
