| editor’s letter |

eing able to work from h o m e u s e d to b e my dream. Wearing pajamas till noon without worrying if I brushed my hair or teeth? Not having to hit the highway and face my fear of the freeway? Getting to spend the formative first years of my daughter’s life with her? It all seemed pretty spectacular. But be careful what you wish for. Nearly one year into this new norm, and the struggle, and juggle, is real. Trying to balance a job, domesticated duties, and mom life leaves little time to take care of me, or my partner. It doesn’t help that our house is small, and my husband is also home 24/7—teaching via Zoom from our dinner table. Luckily, we’re planning to put our daughter in daycare soon, and we’re also in the process of (hopefully) remodeling, which—if all goes as planned—will mean more square footage, a flex space (i.e., my own office!), and an improved aesthetic. If you can relate—and are also wanting to revamp your home, or relationship—then this issue is for you. Turn to our feature, “Coming Home” (page 57), for three rad renovations, including a whole-home makeover you have to see to believe. We also share 17 fabulously foolproof design tips in case you want a change without spending a big chunk of it. One thing I learned? Lighting can make a home shine, in more ways than one, and oversized artwork (even better if it’s from an area artist!) is imperative. Another must-have for any home? Lots of love. If you’re struggling to keep the peace in your partnership, check out “Together Forever” (page 28) for 13 tips to make your marriage stand the test of time. Spoiler alert: Filling your own emotional bucket and learning each other’s love language are keys to living happily ever after. Another surefire way for couples to connect? Spending quality time together—away from your comfort zone, and —Bunny Williams the comfort of your home—doing something that’s new to both of you. Discover 10 local dates on page 16 (“In the Name of Love”) that go beyond the typical takeout and TV. For duos eager to get away on an actual getaway, flip to page 71 for four of Northern California’s plushest properties. From a weekend away in wine country at a romantic ryokan to a cozy cabin in the woods, there’s an intimate escape for all. Just remember: Leave your laptop, and littles, at home. However you plan to spice up your space or love life this month, I hope the pages that follow provide plenty of tips, tricks, and inspiration. Cheers!

“Decorating a room is like making a great salad. You want interesting ingredients.”

What celeb would you not mind having as your Valentine?

“Orlando Bloom. But I’d have to ask him to wear his Will Turner costume from Pirates of the Caribbean!” —Becca Nicholson

“As a child, it was definitely Winnie Cooper from The Wonder Years, but now, as a 43-year-old, I would send my ‘Will you be my Valentine?…Yes, No, or Maybe?’ to Cameron Diaz.” —Gary Zsigo

“I’ve always had a huge crush on Paul Newman. Those chiseled features, those blue eyes…the ultimate manly man. I’m pretty sure my husband would give me a hall pass if Paul came a calling!”—Wendy Sipple

“Justin Long. I've gotten to ‘know’ him through his podcast, ‘Life is Short’, and he seems like a genuinely kind and very funny guy!”—Emily Peter-Corey

“Jimmy Fallon. I’m a sucker for hilarious, good-hearted humans who also happen to be handsome.” —Megan Wiskus

“Justin Timberlake. He’s obviously good-looking, but he also contributes to charities and has a big heart.” —Theresa Arnold

GIVING BACK

A Work of Heart BY TARA MENDANHA

Mariam Ryder is tenacious, smart, compassionate, and all of 14 years old. She’s also the CEO of LEOA (Love Each Other Always) Foundation in Loomis, an organization formed out of Ryder’s yearning to feed the hungry, and clothe and give to the needy. “Our goals for LEOA Foundation start with bringing dignity and love into people’s lives by modernizing charity,” she says. They provide food, clothes, toys, and education to children, adults, the homeless, and veterans.

$3 buys two boxes of groceries that includes vegetables, dairy, and meat. Ever since she was five years old, Ryder has been championing the cause to end hunger, says her father, Joshua. And, as he points out, she takes her work very seriously. “Her diligence and commitment to excellence are truly remarkable. As a young CEO she’s always careful when signing any documents

LEOA

In just three short years, LEOA has managed to spread its efforts across three states, providing almost 7,000 pounds of groceries through their Loomis distribution program and a staggering 18,000 pounds per week in Oregon. Ryder doesn’t wish to stop there, wanting to expand efforts, ultimately eradicating hunger in America by having LEOA distribution sites in every state. “We believe no one should struggle to get what they need because we live on a planet with abundant resources and if we share, everyone can have more,” she says with steely determination. LEOA relies on regional food banks to supply groceries needed per week.

[and] reading corporate contracts, [proving] she’s committed to having a good name and fulfilling her word,” he says. And her efforts have not gone in vain. From families struggling to care for a cancer patient to the elderly with little means, LEOA has touched numerous lives. “I lost my job and times were tight [but] LEOA made it possible for us to stay afloat while I looked for new work. Now I contribute every month to help other families who struggled like we did,” says one grateful patron. LEOA’s education program provides a learning space for children and an instructor who helps parents navigate schoolwork. They also give mostly new clothes to families through donors and partners. “[We’re] always in need of partners with a heart to give and love [for] their communities and those in need,” says Ryder. None of these efforts would be possible without faithful adult volunteers, who are felicitated at an Honors Banquet every year. And since LEOA is all about love, they also host a LEOA Love Gala on Valentine’s Day weekend. The event that probably brings the most joy, though, has to be their Toy Giveaway every Christmas, where families can sign up and receive a gift for their child. According to her dad, Ryder takes the message of “love each other always” very seriously. “The other day I was wearing one of the company T-shirts during the holiday break when I got angry and spoke out of turn. When [Ryder] heard about it later, she asked, ‘You said that with the ‘Love Each Other Always’ shirt on?’” narrates this proud papa who’s constantly humbled and honored to have a daughter—and boss—with such wit and wisdom. “She’s still a teenager and we let her be one, but when it comes to the business of philanthropy and charity, she embodies grace and poise.”

Celebrate Chinese New Year

/stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemags

by EMILY PETER-COREY

hinese New Year occurs every year according to the lunar calendar, which is partly why it’s also called Lunar New Year (countries like North and South Korea and Vietnam celebrate it, too). This year, it lands on February 12 and marks the beginning of the traditional Spring Festival that runs till February 22 and celebrates the season brings: plantings and harvest, new beginnings, and fresh starts. Legend has it that the monster “Nian” would terrorize villages once a year, but villagers finally determined that bright red decorations and loud fireworks kept the monster at bay. So, Chinese New Year itself became a day for fighting off monsters (hence the fireworksfilled celebrations), but also praying to gods and honoring deceased loved ones. These important ceremonies are believed to bring good luck in the new year. According to the Chinese zodiac calendar, 2021 is the year of the ox. Hardworking, intelligent, and reliable without demanding praise, oxen are valuable animals; therefore, babies born in 2021 or in other years of the ox (2009, 1997, 1985…) are considered to be trustworthy and gentle yet confident and stubborn. Choose your lottery numbers and colors accordingly, as numbers one and four and colors blue, yellow, and green are considered lucky! Steer clear of three, six, red, and brown. Although one of the most important holidays in China, more than 20% of the world celebrates Chinese New Year, according to chinesenewyear. net. Luckily, we have some ideas for local ways to honor the occasion. Although cancelled this year, the Chinese New Year Culture Association in Sacramento normally hosts a celebration downtown.

5 The New Year greeting in Chinese is “xin nian kuai le” although in Cantonese-speaking places, like Hong Kong, they say “gong hei fat choy.”

6 It’s taboo to use sharp objects, curse, fight, or cry on New Year’s Day; doing so is thought to bring bad luck.

7 Chinese New Year decorations are often red, since the color is bright and loud.

In a large bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, pork, cabbage, scallions, and 1/4 cup of the soy sauce. Stir until well mixed. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ¼ cup of soy sauce with the black vinegar and sesame oil. Set aside. Fill a small bowl with water. Place 1 teaspoon of filling horizontally on the center of a wonton wrapper in the shape of a football. With two fingers, paint the perimeter of the wrapper with water from the bowl. Fold the wrapper in half to enclose the filling and form a halfmoon shape, pressing firmly along the perimeter to remove excess air and seal the dumpling. Repeat this process with the remaining filling and wrappers. Bring the salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the dumplings and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the dumplings float and the wrapper is translucent. Drain the dumplings and serve with the sauce. Note: Avoid overfilling the wrapper. If the filling gets on the edge of the wrapper, the dumpling won’t seal. Makes 4 dozen dumplings.

FEED THEIR NEEDS. Needs are the way we feel seen, loved, and cared for in a relationship. Learn what your spouse needs and pursue them—even those that aren't necessarily within your comfort zone.—Ashlee Janzen, MS, LMFT, ashleejanzenlmft.com STAY CURIOUS. For people to be vulnerable with each other, they first need to feel seen, heard, and valued. You can achieve this and create safety through genuine curiosity and careful listening, without judging or attempting to change your partner. Demonstrate your understanding by reflecting back what you heard. —Holly Spotts, PsyD, drhollyspotts.com

Together Forever

TAKE CARE OF YOU. Eat well, sleep well, exercise, and find something that brings you joy—every day! You can only give what you have. Fill up your own emotional bucket, and you’ll be a better partner with more to share. —Theresa Davis, MFT, folsomcounseling.com

KINDESS COUNTS. Treat your partner with the same respect you would show your boss. Our communication matters.—Renae Linder, MSW, LCSW, echildpsychiatry.com

SAY SORRY. Own your mistakes, say you’re sorry, and actively work to make it better. Also, forgive, forgive, forgive. —Theresa Davis, MFT, folsomcounseling. com

DEEPEN YOUR CONNECTION. Disconnection and "feeling off" creates anxiety and lack of security, so it’s important to check in and make space for one another— emotionally and physically—on a regular basis, especially during stressful times. Doing so will help you both feel like a priority to one another and deepen your connection.—Ashlee Janzen, MS, LMFT, ashleejanzenlmft.com

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAMWORK.

FINANCIALLY EVER AFTER. When it comes to finances, which is the third leading cause of divorce, keep in mind that you’re both on the same team and schedule weekly financial meetings with your partner to set and monitor mutually agreed upon goals.—Renae Linder, MSW, LCSW, echildpsychiatry.com LISTEN UP. Welcome your partner’s thoughts and feelings, even the ones you don’t like. Really listening to them is the key to connection and understanding. —Theresa Davis, MFT, folsomcounseling. com

TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE. Life will inevitably throw curve balls your way— both individually and as a couple—which can be opportunities to draw you closer

stylemg.com

| FEBRUARY 2021 |

or create barriers within your marriage. Finding ways to approach issues together, or in support of each other, can enhance the health of your relationship. —Ashlee Janzen, MS, LMFT, ashleejanzenlmft.com

GIVE AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE. True gifts of love, without any expectation of payback/return are incredible at instantly improving a relationship. Do them daily. —Theresa Davis, MFT, folsomcounseling. com

IT’S OK TO ASK FOR HELP. If you find that you and your partner are stuck in the same negative cycle, don’t let pride get in the way of seeking professional help. Couples therapy is an investment in your relationship that will give you the tools you need to be successful for a lifetime of happiness together.—Holly Spotts, PsyD, drhollyspotts.com

SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE. Get to know each other’s love language (quality time, words of affirmation, physical touch, acts of service, and/or gifts). Knowing your own allows you to communicate the ways you feel loved, while knowing your partner’s enables you to demonstrate your love in a manner that’s meaningful to them. —Holly Spotts, PsyD, drhollyspotts.com

Conflict is inevitable in any relationship, but success lies in how you handle it. It’s easy to get caught up in seeing your partner as the enemy, so take a team perspective and find a win-win solution both partners can feel good about. This will bring connection, trust, and security to the relationship.—Holly Spotts, PsyD, drhollyspotts.com

Take a Hike

Red Shack Trail by RYAN MARTINEZ

THE NEW NORM: HIKING IN THE PANDEMIC A lot has changed when it comes to hiking. Here are a few things to consider. Mask up

Some people are very concerned about this, as it’s not always possible to maintain six feet of distance on a trail. A neck gaiter is our favorite, since it’s easy to put on as you pass others and take off as you hike.

Let others pass

If you’re in a spot where you can easily move over to maintain distance, step aside and allow others to pass.

LOCATED IN: Coloma. DISTANCE: 2.1 miles, out and back. DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Moderate. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: The trail is

steep, so be prepared for a good climb on the way back. Dogfriendly (must be leashed). FUEL UP: Stop by Hog Wild BarB-Que (hogwildbarbque.com) in Placerville for properly prepared, succulently smoked BBQ, including melt-in-your-mouth

brisket, garlic pork sausage, and sweet cornbread with honey butter—all served with a side of Southern hospitality. WHY WE LOVE IT: Short, sweet, and you'll work up a sweat. Lesser known with picture-perfect river views, it’s a quiet, close-to-home escape. Sited between Coloma and Placerville, it’s also an ideal outing to add into a full day of Gold Country exploration. TRAIL NOTES: Bring shoes with traction, plenty of water, and sunscreen. Please, practice Leave No Trace ethics.

Know it’s not always possible to socially distance

If you’re hitting the trails, some people won’t be wearing masks and it won’t always be possible to socially distance. If these things concern you, stay home or look for less popular trails.

Q: HOW CAN I PREPARE MY CHILD FOR THEIR FIRST DENTAL VISIT? A: One of the best things you can do is begin an age-appropriate conversation a couple weeks prior to the appointment. Talk about the dentist who will help brush and count their teeth. Work it in during mealtimes or while they’re brushing. Additionally, make routine brushing a fun event by singing a song or letting your child explore and count their teeth in the mirror. The more involved they feel in keeping their teeth healthy, the more confident they’ll be when it comes to their first dental visit!

Q: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FULL-SPECTRUM AND BROAD-SPECTRUM CBD? A: Full-spectrum CBD (cannabinoids) includes all parts of the hemp plant, including THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), and is minimally refined, leaving most of the plant’s molecules intact. The THC is taken out of broad-spectrum CBD to provide users with the same relief as full-spectrum CBD without the possible effects of THC. The need for medicinal CBD varies from person to person and both full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBDs offer a variety of benefits, including pain relief. —Chander Sidher, Co-Owner Sac Valley CBD, 711 East Bidwell Street, Suite 6, Folsom, 916-358-9623, sacvalleycbd.com FEBRUARY 2021 |

Home is where the heart is, and also where we spend just about every second these days, so it’s no wonder there’s been an uptick in home improvement projects. Whether you’re looking to make your house more functional, increase its value, or add some fresh décor, we have you covered. Keep reading for three renovations that are sure to inspire and some top interior design tips.

It’s inevitable: Your house will become dated. And although it still may be livable, it’s not always lovable. Eberle Remodeling recently took on a kitchen remodel requiring more than just new appliances and a cabinet refresh. “The owner wanted to open up the kitchen to other areas to create a large space to entertain and capture the views toward the back of the house,” explains Kent Eberle, president of Eberle Remodeling. And can you blame them? Open-concept and entertaining spaces are not only preferred these days, but useful.

Eberle after photo by Dave Adams Photography.

With wall removals/relocations, door and window changes, a new pantry, plus new cabinets, floors, lighting, and more, the Rocklin homeowners worked with Eberle Remodeling to make their kitchen dreams a reality. Additionally, the lighting is now in all the right places (check the upper cabinets), and the lightcolored backsplash and countertops balance the darker cabinet color and floors. “Large kitchens like this typically [take] about

BOLD IS BEAUTIFUL.

Light fixtures are no longer limited to brass, bronze, and brushed nickel. We’re seeing fixtures in black, white, navy, and even mint green. Be bold. Maybe not in every room, but in powder rooms or bedrooms. It’s fun to have something unexpected! —Lighting Unlimited, Cameron Park, 530-6764716, lightingu.com

FOCUS ON THE FINER THINGS. Poor

quality furniture and accessories will never get that wow factor, so adding a quality item— even if it’s something as simple as a cocktail table or large piece of artwork—can really make a statement. Don’t be afraid to showcase a mixture of high- and low-priced items, either; not everything in the room needs to be expensive. Consider splurging on at least one item that you really love.—Danielle Miller, Studio D Staging & Redesign, El Dorado Hills, 916-836-9570, studiodstaging.com

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY.

Always use wood crown molding instead of MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard). The former has proved to last for hundreds of years, whereas imitation products just do not. If you’re wanting to pick only a few areas to add molding to, start with the kitchen, great room, master bedroom, and/ or entryway. —Stephen Menez, S.M. Menez Interior Mouldings, Folsom, 916-983-2083, crownmouldingman.com

BACK TO “BASE”ICS. If you plan on upgrading your baseboards, consider updating your door casings before the baseboards go in; it’s easier and less costly before than after. —Stephen Menez, S.M. Menez Interior Mouldings, Folsom, 916-983-2083, crownmouldingman.com LIGHT & BRIGHT. Add a statement light fixture that you love—either a lamp or a

chandelier/pendant—and make sure to include at least three sources of light in each room: general lighting (overhead or pendant), specific lighting (task or table), and ambient lighting (sconces, candles, or decorative).—Jane Reed, Unique Remodeling and Interior Design, Folsom, 916-294-9727, uniquebrushstrokes.com

All things combined, the space is much more open and welcoming to the rest of the living area and makes for a desirable location to spend precious family time. This is a budget-friendly option, too. “Many existing kitchens are closed off to other areas, so if that’s the case, possibly try to open the space up to adjacent areas. Creating wider openings, while avoiding expensive structural engineering, can help to save on costs,” advises Eberle. He also suggests finding an experienced professional to guide you along. “Find someone who has been in business a long time that knows design, construction, and related costs. They all go hand in hand.” That combined expertise offers homeowners a reliable, usable, and beautiful space to house loved ones for years to come.

More tips from Kent Eberle… • Find someone who’s into the details, since that is what the process demands. • A remodel is ripe with the opportunity for things to go wrong, so take the time to create a well-thought-out floor plan, select all materials before starting, determine the full scope of work, identify possible cost overruns, and make sure to document everything. • Keep plumbing fixtures and appliances in their existing locations. • All of the homework (design/ layout, product selection, how the products will be installed, identifying the full scope of work) needs to be done ahead of time in order to have the best shot at a smooth-running project and minimal change orders. • Find someone who will give you a schedule in advance of construction.

Top Design Tips

10–12 weeks by themselves. Averagesized complete kitchen remodel projects typically fall between $60,000-$120,000, while large kitchens can cost even more. Keep in mind that the costs for products can range dramatically,” explains Eberle. Those perfect products can put a muchneeded final touch on projects: the stainless-steel appliances create a sleek but not too modern look.

FARMHOUSE FIT FOR A FAMILY

A full home remodel is a lot to take on, but this Auburn house—renovated by Terra Inc. Construction—went from being old-fashioned and drab to modern-day farmhouse fab in four months. With a $300,000 budget, Terra touched just about every part of the property to transform it into an inviting space from the moment you step on the property. Starting with the exterior work, they did “deck repair, siding repair, landscaping, pool resurfacing, [and] paint,” FEBRUARY 2021 |

Inside, they added “new interior doors and trim, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the living area, new carpet in the bedrooms, drywall repair, and new light fixtures throughout the whole house.” These details are not only welcoming to the eye but necessary pieces in modernizing a home and making an impact. But it wouldn’t be a home remodel without an updated kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen now features “new appliances, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and painted kitchen cabinets,” says Oliver. Although not a total redesign, the kitchen, with the light cabinets, counter,

explains Jake Oliver, the company's co-owner. The blue paint was modernized with a refreshing coat of white paint with black trim, and the outdoor lighting was updated for that perfect final touch.

BE ART SMART. Having a large “statement” piece of artwork means you don’t really need to put much else in that space—the room can remain simple and minimal. The artwork will ultimately speak for itself by creating a dramatic focal point to the room. —Danielle Miller, Studio D Staging & Redesign, El Dorado Hills, 916836-9570, studiodstaging.com WOOD WORKS.

and floor, is now a clean and bright environment. The accent color on the kitchen island and gold lighting fixtures are trendy and surely a talking point. When it comes to the updated bathroom, it features “new vanities, countertops, a freestanding tub, shower surround glazing, shiplap walls, and tile flooring.” Like the kitchen island, the dark-colored vanity balances with the white shiplap walls and light flooring. The finishing touches of round mirrors and trendy chic lighting make this bathroom a highly desirable oasis of rest and relaxation. Overall, the house is cohesive, modern, and highly desirable. Although the work here was extensive, Oliver says “shiplap accent walls, floating shelves in the kitchen and/or bathrooms, sliding barn doors, a new or [freshly] painted front door, and new light fixtures” are some great budget-friendly options to upgrade your home. If you’re inspired to start your own whole-home remodel, Oliver says: “Determine your budget

and then make a list of the items you want completed, then prioritize them, as they may not all fit within your budget.” Little by little, or all at once, houses can become homes with the help of experienced professionals.

More tips from Jake Oliver… • Get multiple bids from reputable contractors who are both licensed and insured. You can check the contractor’s state license board website (cslb.ca.gov) for an active license and ask contractors for their current certificate of insurance. • Depending on the size and the scope of work, homeowners can typically expect to continue living in their home during the remodel process. • The kitchen is typically the most impactful room to remodel in the house, because it’s normally the home’s focal point. • If you’re remodeling with the resale value in mind, the kitchen will typically give you the most bang for your buck followed by bathrooms.

FIRST THINGS FIRST. Lighting can make a statement or set the mood for your home. We often see homeowners/builders start with lighting and build the design from there vs. waiting until the end. —Lighting Unlimited, Cameron Park, 530-676-4716, lightingu.com COLOR RULES. Use the “60, 30, 10 rule”—60% of dominant color (e.g., the color of the walls and large accent pieces like area rugs or sofa), 30% of secondary color (e.g. draperies, upholstery, rugs, or maybe an accent wall), and 10% of accent color (e.g. throw pillows, candles, artwork, and flowers). —Jane Reed, Unique Remodeling and Interior Design, Folsom, 916294-9727, uniquebrushstrokes.com

Neutrals are great but adding a subtle pop of color can bring a brightened element to the feeling of a space.

THINK LONG-TERM. When

installing crown molding, think about your long-term house plan. “What architectural style are you trying to achieve?” When a home is completely done over with moldings, it’s best to have a consistent flow to ensure it doesn’t look like a bunch of projects done over the years by several different people. —Stephen Menez, S.M. Menez Interior Mouldings, Folsom, 916-9832083, crownmouldingman.com

MAKE IT A STAYCATION. As many of us continue to work and spend tons of time at home, it’s important to have a tranquil space that makes you feel cozy and comfortable while still being fun and functional.

The mixed material hood, flanked by shelves, pops off the intricate backsplash, creating a look that will be admired for years to come. Utilizing two different countertops also creates an eye-catching design that, paired with the gold accents, elevates the entire look to be elegant yet welcoming and bright. This three-month renovation was budgeted at $175,000 and was well-worth the cost, especially if the homeowners decide to sell. “You’ll likely get a great return on investment on kitchen and bathroom remodels.

these projects are done, the home is more ‘turnkey’ and new buyers will understand they don’t have to tackle those large projects. A designer can help you understand where your budgets should be based on how long you plan to stay in the home or if it’s your forever home,” explains Brenna. And this house certainly has the potential to become a forever home. Keep in mind that the right professionals can guide a smooth and budget-friendly process, so do your research. “We feel you should be interviewing designers and contractors at the beginning and choose the ones you trust. Don’t base your choice on cost. The cheapest isn’t always the best option,” explains

Brenna. And when you find the right professionals, your house can truly become the home you’ve always wanted.

More tips from Brenna Krouse… • [Use] wallpaper! Yep, it’s back! Just a simple accent wall can add a lot of style to a room. • The first step a homeowner should take when beginning a remodel is to do research. Get familiar with how the process works and what the costs are going to be. • Develop a budget for your project and share it with the professionals you have selected to work with. If you disclose your budget early on, the designer and contractor can help you maximize your scope.

Love is in the air at the aptly named Waters Edge. Perched dockside on Tiburon’s magical Main Street, this intimate inn—whose A+ offerings include an in-room continental breakfast, lendable bikes, and evening wine reception—is the perfect place to rekindle your romance.

A change of scenery is always good for the soul, and your love life— especially when the view includes vineyards and there’s vino flowing freely. At Vista Collina Resort, the premises offer plenty of alfresco activities and quintessential Napa experiences—including nine boutique wineries, a well-received restaurant (Olive & Hay), cooking classes, indulgent spa treatments, and vineyard terrace vinyasa yoga—that you might never feel the need to leave. For those who prefer pints over pinots, there’s a bevy of top-notch taprooms, too—like Stone Brewing and Fieldwork Brewing Company—just a stone’s throw away in Downtown Napa. If a “workcation” is calling your name or you want ample room to roam, reserve the spacious One-Bedroom Suite. Cozy up fireside in the large living area, breathe in the brisk wine country air from your private patio or balcony, and make gourmet meals in the full kitchen. Other must-mention amenities include a welcome bottle of wine, working desk with ergonomic chair, and lightning-fast Wi-Fi—ensuring the ideal balance between work and play. PERFECT FOR: Companions seeking all the creature comforts of home with way better wine.

Wylder Hope Valley

Tucked away from touristy Tahoe, Wylder Hope Valley is an under-theradar destination that beckons with its beauty and easy access to Kirkwood Mountain, Grover Hot Springs, and other outdoor experiences. Sited on 165 acres of majestic aspen and pine forests with the West Fork Carson River meandering through, the year-round resort is home to the iconic Sorenson’s Café—where you can savor scratchmade meals, including the beloved berry cobbler, and complimentary coffee, cocoa, and tea—plus on-site activities like a wood-fired sauna, s’mores, and snowshoeing. Accommodations run the gamut from glamping in a yurt or vintage Spartan, to cozy-chic cabins, cottages, and spacious homesteads that fit eight of your nearest and dearest. Whatever room you book, expect modern mountain environs that are luxurious but still laid-back. PERFECT FOR: Twosomes wanting to go off-grid (Wi-Fi is accessible but unplugging is highly encouraged) and appreciate all the nuances of nature— and each other.

chose three proteins from one of three price ranges: traditional/ decadent/exotic or one from each (“mix it up”). We both chose the latter and landed salmon, filet mignon, lobster, calamari steak, smoked pork belly, and shrimp. What a feast! A little patience was required for the cooking process, due to the cold, but we adapted, overcame (i.e., drank wine), and were rewarded with a great main course. The four house-made dipping sauces (lemon butter, teriyaki, horseradish, orange coulis) and side of sliced, pre-cooked potatoes to grill were a nice touch, too. It’s probably wise they don’t make fondue forks longer and sharper, as a sword fight may have erupted over the dessert course. We (OK, make that I) chose the Bailey’s and coffee fondue of semi-sweet dark chocolate and Bailey’s Irish cream liqueur with a splash of coffee. The recipients of the warm cocoa bath were pound cake, blondies, Rice Krispies Treats, strawberries, grapes, and bananas. Fortunately, there was such an abundance of food that the other diners observed only minor skirmishes. Chef Carie has a tasty takeout menu, too (with the current suspension of on-site dining*), so don’t refrain from giving them a call—let’s support each other!

namely Chef Carie’s call-out to name all the film stars of yesteryear pictured on the restaurant wall. Maybe a surprise to Carie, but not to me; my companion nailed it, recording an A+. A good start for us! So, on to the four-course fondue. We started with the bacon and brie—a can’t-miss for me. Who doesn’t like warm brie with salty cured meat topped with a dollop of preserves on soft sourdough? This was a melted version of the cheese board favorite, and along with bread, there were also sliced apples and peppers, cheese, and another surprise: pickles. Course number two—caramelized Brussels sprouts topped with candied bacon butter sauce—was a big hit. We also ordered a bowl of rustic potato soup; though flavorful, it was texturally a bit of a miss (for me). Next, the entrée course—cooked on a raclette grill—where we each

on a chilly winter evening having wine and small plates can be most enjoyable. There’s nowhere I would recommend more to partake in this activity than Willamette Wineworks—sited in Folsom’s historically significant Roundhouse. According to their website, “Willamette Wineworks, a micro-winery, is a wine, blending, and food experience created by Willamette Valley Vineyards. The unique hands-on wine-blending experience will allow our guests to learn more about the process of winemaking and enjoy their own wine creation.” Although I wasn’t able to partake in the wineblending experience (I have it on my to-do list when circumstances allow), the wine drinking and tapas-style dining, combined with grand vistas and superior service, warmed the soul. I started with the Oregon Estate Wine Flight as an homage to the founders—“brothers Jim, the founder of Willamette Valley Vineyards in Oregon, and Jerry, the local builder of Historic Folsom Station.” I paired the wine with the Seasonal Cheese Board featuring Cypress Grove Midnight Moon, Cypress Grove Purple Haze, Fiscalini Smoked Cheddar, prosciutto, salami, candied spiced raisins, sage garlic cashews, and orange cranberry relish (the nuts and relish all made in-house at nearby Karen's Bakery). I also recommend the locally made focaccia bread (Village Bakery) and house-made tomato bisque. I finished my evening of indulgence with a chocolate truffle (made a block away at Snooks Candies and Chocolate Factory) and wine pairing, followed by a stroll on Historic Sutter Street, as the nighttime chill seemed to fade away. 824 Sutter Street, Suite 200, Folsom, 916-542-7417, willamettewineworks.com—Lorn Randall

Kiss of Chocolate 5 Decadent Desserts BY MEGAN WISKUS

Celebrate your loved ones with something seriously sweet on February 14. From cakes to custards, these chocolaty treats are bound to impress your nearest and dearest. Cracked Flourless Chocolate Cake

Submitted by Savannahs Savory Sweets, Sacramento, 661-205-9984, savannahssavorysweets.com,  @savannahssavorysweets • 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate (chopped in small pieces) • 1 stick unsalted butter • 9 large eggs (separated) • ¾ cup + 1 tbsp. sugar • 2 cups heavy cream (cold)

• Powdered sugar, to sweeten and for dusting Raspberry Sauce • 1 half-pint fresh raspberries • ½ cup sugar • ¼ cup water • 1 cup seedless raspberry jam • 1 tbsp. framboise liqueur

Make the sauce. Combine the raspberries, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, jam, and framboise into the bowl of a blender or food processor. Blend till smooth then chill.

Beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form and fold into the chocolate mixture. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 20-30 minutes—until the cake is set, the top begins to crack, and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. Let stand for 10 minutes, then remove sides of spring pan. While the cake is cooling, whip the cream until light and fluffy and sweeten with powdered sugar. Serve at room temperature with whipped cream, raspberry sauce, and a dusting of powdered sugar. TOP BAKING TIPS: Always follow instructions, patience is key, and practice makes perfect.

Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 9-inch spring form pan. Put the chocolate and butter into the top of a double boiler (or heatproof bowl) and heat over (but not touching) 1 inch of simmering water until melted. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a mixing bowl until light yellow in color. Whisk a little of the chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture to temper the eggs (this will keep them from scrambling).

Mini Skillet Brownies

Submitted by Homebaked, Folsom, 916-873-3343, homebakedfolsom.weebly.com,  @homebaked.folsom • 1 stick unsalted butter • 4 oz. plus ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided • 1 ½ oz. unsweetened chocolate • 2 eggs • 2 tsp. instant coffee powder

• 1 ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract • 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp. sugar • 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp. allpurpose flour, divided • 1 tsp. baking powder • 1/4 tsp. salt • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Preheat oven to 350. Heat the butter, 4 ounces of the chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate together in a medium heat-proof bowl set over simmering water just until the chocolate melts. Remove the bowl from the heat and allow to cool for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee powder, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and set aside to cool to room temperature. In a medium bowl, sift together ¼ cup of the flour, the baking powder, and salt; stir it into the chocolate mixture. Toss the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of flour together in a medium bowl and stir them into the chocolate mixture. Spoon the mixture into 4-5” individual cast-iron skillets and place them on a sheet pan. Bake for 22 minutes exactly (avoid overbaking). A toothpick inserted in the center will not come out clean. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream. TOP BAKING TIP: The secret to every delicious chocolate dessert is to use high-quality cocoa and/or chocolate; it's worth the investment.

1 large egg plus one yolk (room temperature is best) 1/3 cup plus 1 tsp. sugar 1/8 tsp. salt 1/2 cup chocolate chips or small chocolate chunks (60%-70% cacao) 2 tbsp. chocolate liquor (substitute vanilla extract, or other liquor) 1 2/3 cups heavy cream

Place oven rack in the middle position and preheat to 300. Boil water for a bain-marie (water bath). Whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Place chocolate chips and chocolate liquor in a second mixing bowl. Set aside. In a 2-quart saucepan on medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a rolling simmer (small bubbles throughout, not a full boil). Stir throughout this process to avoid burning or developing a skin. Ladle a small amount of the cream (about 1/3 cup) into the egg and sugar mixer and whisk together. Repeat this process until all of the cream has been incorporated. (This is referred to as “tempering” your eggs. You don’t want to incorporate the cream too quickly, as it can “scramble” the eggs.) Add the hot egg and cream mixture to the chocolate mixture, whisk by hand to incorporate, and then emulsify with an immersion blender (or pour into a standard blender to emulsify.) Ladle mixture into oven-safe containers and place into a cake pan, leaving room to pour water. Gently pour boiling water into the pan, about 1” deep (or 1/3-1/2 height of containers), to form a water bath. Be careful not to get water into your pots de crème. Bake for about 30 minutes or until pots de crème are set with a slight jiggle. The actual bake time is dependent upon your oven calibration, and how deep you fill your containers. If using a timer, start at 25 minutes, and increase in 5-minute increments, as necessary.

Carefully remove pots de crème from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes in the bain-marie. Remove each container, dry the bottoms on a towel, and cool at room temperature on a cooling rack. Once cooled, refrigerate until needed. Serve with crème chantilly (whipped cream), fresh fruit, and chocolate shavings, or drizzle with chocolate or raspberry sauce. TOP BAKING TIP: Have everything in place. Read through the entire recipe and gather all your ingredients and cookware—preferably in the order in which you need them— before you begin baking.

Easy Oreo Cake Mix Donuts

Submitted by Cupcakees by Missy, Placerville, 949-501-6822, cupcakeesbymissy.com,  @cupcakees_by_missy • • • • • •

1 box chocolate cake mix 1 cup water 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 egg Chocolate frosting Crushed Oreos

Preheat oven to 350 and spray a 6-count donut pan with non-stick cooking spray. Combine the chocolate cake mix with the water, oil, and egg. Scoop the batter into a piping bag or gallon size freezer bag. Seal and snip one corner with kitchen scissors. Gently squeeze the batter into the donut wells, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely

Remove donuts from the pan and repeat the baking process with the rest of the batter. Once the donuts have cooled, heat the frosting in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds (you want it soft but not completely melted). Generously frost each donut and top with crushed Oreos. TOP BAKING TIP: Bake your sweet treats (cupcakes, cookies, donuts, etc.) for 2-3 minutes less than what the recipe calls for and allow them to finish cooking in their baking dish. This assures they don’t get over-baked and ultimately produces a moister dessert.
