In this month’s feature, “A Local Wine Lover’s Guide” (page 57), we take you to a small sampling of our favorites, including ones that boast bocce ball courts (like our cover winery, Andis), plus share drinkable bottles for $25 or less, buzzworthy wine bars, and restaurants with winning wine lists. We also share current trends in the world of wine (spoiler alert: cans are cool…and readily available at places like Wise Villa Winery, Element 79 Vineyards, and E16 Winery!). It’s an ode to oenophiles that will hopefully make you more appreciative of our region’s robust wine region.
With drinking comes eating, and—as per usual—we have plenty of content dedicated to dining. From a piece on Palladio at Broadstone’s Iron Horse Tavern (page 72), where writer Lorn Randall highly recommends the beignets (“pyramids of powdered sugar-covered orbs”); to another about Placer County’s first true Fillipino eatery, Kultura Café (page 76), there are a plethora of diverse dishes waiting to be discovered.
