Wine or Spirits, Anyone?

e’ve been discussing the idea of having a special issue showcasing the local wine and distillery scene for quite some time. A few years ago, we published a brewery issue that received a lot of attention. In this issue, we are proud to be able to profile a variety of local wineries and distilleries in our First Annual Wine & Spirits Guide. Before we could put together a special Wine & Spirits issue, we had to do some research and a lot of homework. As you could imagine, this project involved visiting many local wineries and distilleries. We encountered very enthusiastic proprietors who were eager to give us tours, explain their processes, and tell us about the history of their establishment and their personal journey. And then there was the wine and spirits sampling – of course we had to sample the products personally! What kind of research project wouldn’t involve sampling? It just seemed like the polite thing to do. We were surprised to learn that there are wineries and distilleries in just about every corner of San Diego County. While most of the distilleries have an urban feel, the wineries were a bit more diverse. There are urban wine tasting rooms that do a fantastic job of sharing their wine. There are small wineries and large wineries. Country wineries and city wineries. Wineries with their own vineyards, and wineries that have offsite vineyards. The bottom line is that there are all types of establishments, and all of them are definitely worth a visit. Derrick Breaux The ZCode Team would like to thank all the local wineries Publisher and distilleries that took the time to meet with us and open their doors (and bottles). And we would like to give a special shout out to the wineries and distilleries that shared our vision and chose to participate in this first Wine & Spirits issue. There wouldn’t have been an issue without these participants, so be sure to put them on your short list to visit (and tell them that ZCode Magazines sent you). Until next time… Cheers!
All the best, Derrick Breaux, Publisher

Cathedral Catholic High School Continues a Strong Legacy of Faith, Character, and Achievement by LAINEY KRAL | photos provided by Cathedral Catholic High School
C
athedral Catholic High School’s (CCHS) core values of faith, knowledge, character, and responsibility have guided the development of high-achieving, well-rounded leaders for over 60 years. The CCHS legacy has deep roots, though the name is only 13 years old. Cathedral Girls High School merged with University San Diego High School (UNI) in
1970 on UNI’s Linda Vista Campus. UNI transitioned to the current CCHS Campus in Carmel Valley in 2005 and took on the new name of Cathedral Catholic High School. “No matter what campus you were on, once you become a Don, you’re always a Don,” said CCHS President Mr. Stevan Laaperi. “The Dons’ legacy has never been stronger. Over 50 alumni are among the CCHS team of
8 • 92024MAGAZINE.COM • WINE & SPIRITS GUIDE 2018
administrators, faculty, coaches, and staff.” The professional staff is well qualified to uphold that legacy. Most teachers have a master’s degree or higher in the subject they teach, and the entire staff strives to model the values of a Catholic faith community. The school is accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association and the Western Association of Schools and SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT

Facilities include 75 classrooms, 12 science labs, two computer labs, a robotics lab, a ceramics studio, a music room, a lecture hall, several special-use classrooms, world-class athletic facilities, a library, a lecture hall, a chapel and meditation garden – there’s a place for every student to discover their passion. Over 70 percent of CCHS students participate in one or more of the school’s 80-plus teams. “Whether you are an athlete, love to act, or have a passion for serving others, at Cathedral Catholic you gain the confidence to make a difference not only in your life but in the world around you,” said Kate, a graduate from the Class of 2017. Nicole, another recent graduate, agreed: “There is an unparalleled wealth of opportunities, and a strong support system in the students and faculty as part of the Catholic community.”

COMMUNITY STUFF
SDUHSD Appoints New Superintendent The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) Board of Trustees has appointed Dr. Robert Haley as its new superintendent following a national search conducted over the summer. Dr. Haley has served as the Superintendent of Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District in Northern California for the past seven years, and has previous experience in six school districts as a teacher, principal, and district-level administrator. He also served in the United States Marine Corps Reserve. Dr. Haley is well-versed in school finance issues and the operational aspects of school district management, and serves on the State of California Fiscal Crisis & Management Assistance Team Board of Directors. He is also known for his research and work on school safety and is a member of the Association of California School Administrators’ Fatal School Violence Task Force. “Dr. Haley is the ideal superintendent for our district,” said SDUHSD Board President Beth Hergesheimer. “He believes in the team approach to leadership, actively listening, collaborating, and focusing decision-making on what is best for students.” For more information visit www.sduhsd.net.
2018 National Night Out The Encinitas community once again participated in National Night Out in August. North Coastal Sheriff’s Deputies and staff gathered in the Target Encinitas parking lot to interact directly with community members. The event included free food and drinks, patrol vehicles and motorcycles, bomb robots, kids activities, crime prevention information, and other resources. National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make communities safer, more caring places to live. Millions of neighborhoods take part in National Night Out across thousands of communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, and military bases worldwide each year. Local neighborhoods host block parties, festivals, parades, cookouts, and other community events with safety demonstrations, seminars, visits from emergency personnel, exhibits, and more. Learn more at natw.org.
New SDBG President The San Diego Botanic Garden (SDBG) has selected Dr. Ari Novy to serve as its new president and CEO, following long-time president Julian Duval’s retirement earlier this year. Dr. Novy is a plant biologist, active researcher, and an environmental commissioner of the City of Encinitas. He previously served as the executive director of the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C., and as the chief scientist at the Leichtag Foundation. “We are excited to have the opportunity to have a nationally recognized scientist as our new president and CEO,” said John DeWald, Chairman of the Board of Trustees for SDBG. “We look forward to Ari taking the gardens to the next level from the great base that Julian has created.” Dr. Novy officially assumed his new role in October. Julian Duval was honored with the Paul Ecke, Jr. Award at SDBG’s annual Gala in the Garden in September for his 24 years of service to the garden as well as his numerous contributions to the local horticultural community. Learn more at www.sdbgarden.org.
Teens Create Peaceful Connections
Seven students from Pacific Ridge School participated in a peacebuilding summit with nonprofit Hands of Peace over the summer. The students met with Israeli and Palestinian teens who stayed with local host families, each day participating in facilitated dialogue sessions to create connections and break down stereotypes. The group also bonded by painting murals, doing a ropes course, and visiting with students near the United States-Mexico border. Each summer Hands of Peace brings a group of Jewish-Israeli, Palestinian Citizens of Israel, and Palestinian teenagers to San Diego and Chicago for a 19-day, dialogue-based experience, as well as with a comparable number of American teens from Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and other faith backgrounds. The program teaches team-building and leadership skills, helps the participants learn about different cultures and religions, guides them in learning about the conflict from different points of view, and encourages them to take action to incorporate peacebuilding into their personal lives. Learn more at www.handsofpeace.org.
Local Earns Congressional Award Encinitas’ Margaret “Sissy” Sugarman recently received the Silver Congressional Award, the highest honor the U.S. Congress can bestow upon young civilians recognizing achievement, initiative, and service. Since she was 13 years old, Sissy has been working towards achieving goals in each of the four program areas: voluntary public service, personal development, physical fitness, and expedition/ exploration. Sissy’s work included leading free farm tours on her family’s farm, volunteering at a local horse rescue, serving at a veteran’s camp in Alaska, creating a pollinator education program called The Honey Bee Road Show, and hosting charity goat yoga classes for the community. “One of my main goals was to connect people with animals so they would have a better understanding of where their food comes from and how to treat animals with empathy and respect,” she said. Sissy is a senior in high school attending classes at MiraCosta College. She plans to continue her work to earn the Gold Congressional Award and hopes to someday become a veterinarian.

Teachers Are Mentors at Pacific Ridge School
T
eenagers today are coming of age during a time of great technological innovation. While technology holds endless potential for improving our lives, it comes with significant drawbacks, especially for adolescents. Teens seek out communities online, but may be losing the opportunity to grow from deeper forms of human connection. At Carlsbad’s Pacific Ridge School, teachers make these deep connections with their students. They are more than academic educators, they’re mentors. With an average class size of 15, an 8:1 student to teacher ratio, and robust co-curricular programming, teachers have the time and opportunity to develop strong bonds with students in grades 7 through 12. Pacific Ridge teachers serve in multiple roles: as academic advisors, service learning facilitators, coaches, travel companions, and more. “We interact with our students in so many different ways. With the overlap between classes, clubs, sports, and travel groups, we can build really strong relationships with individual students,” said Spanish teacher Meredith Brady. Faculty are organized into grade-level,
collaborative teams that “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher meet twice weekly to share explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. instructional The great teacher inspires.” – William Arthur Ward best practices, discuss ways to integrate sharing the experience. the curriculum, and ensure that each student is Great teachers can provide lifelong challenged and supported to reach his or her inspiration to students.

Travel is a huge growth opportunity for students, who engage with different communities and cultures through academic enrichment, cultural and linguistic immersion, and service work.

, San Diego s sun-kissed vines offer a taste of history for connoisseurs and casual sippers alike. The area is
,
home to California s first recorded vineyards, planted in the 1700s by Father Junipero Serra. Today, the county boasts over 115 wineries – and more history to be savored with every glass. Our beautiful climate is a key factor for the success of local vineyards, and diverse conditions allow a wide variety of grapes to flourish. Wine grapes tend to be hardier and more water-efficient than other crops, giving them an advantage during drier years. San Diego-grown wines include Albarino, Cabernet Franch, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Grenache, Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah, Tempranillo, Viognier – the list goes on! THE MORE YOU KNOW A hybrid is two grape types genetically crossed, while a blend combines two grape varieties after fermentation. Terroir is the natural environment for a particular wine – including soil, farming techniques, and climate. A vintage is a specific year or harvest. A varietal is a wine made from a particular grape type.

whiskey and rum, San Diego s 14+ craft distilleries are raising a glass to large manufacturers, producing highquality small-batch varieties with local ingredients and distinct flavor. Craft distilleries have been allowed to operate tasting rooms only since January of 2017, even further expanding their local reach. Stop in to learn more about the distillation process and get better acquainted with what's going in your cocktail. THE MORE YOU KNOW Grapes aren't just for wine. Vodka can be made from any sugar or starch source – wheat, corn, potatoes, or fruit. Gin is essentially flavored vodka, but must have a predominant flavor of juniper. Generally speaking, whiskey (with an “e”) refers to American and Irish spirits, while whisky (no “e”) refers to spirits made in Scotland, Canada, Japan, or elsewhere.

ven the name says mellow relaxation and big deep breaths: Koi Zen Cellars. This craft urban winery in the heart of Carmel Mountain Ranch has a vibe unlike any other. Like stepping into your best friend’s home, Koi Zen Cellars is a special place for patrons to ‘uncork, sip back, and relax.’ Owner and winemaker Darius Miller’s life was run by pressure for many years, to the point it almost did him in with a stress-induced stroke. After honing his self-taught skills, Darius turned his passion for winemaking from a small-scale project into a beautiful business, allowing guests to reconnect, be in the moment, and take time (and a great glass of wine) to themselves. Koi Zen Cellars’ welcoming and warm ambiance has turned it into a community hangout for wine loving people. Co-owner Lisa Miller attends the Sonoma State Wine Business program, while steward Jon is a Level 1 sommelier en route to his Level 2. Steward Cat comes from the hospitality industry, and “Her infectious smile is loved by all,” Lisa confirmed. Koi Zen sources their grapes from growers throughout California, “giving guests a unique taste experience from all the major wine regions in the state.” Koi Zen creates fruit-forward, approachable, lively, and fun

full-bodied wines – Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Rhone-style reds and red blends among the broad-spectrum list of choices. Their most popular offerings include Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, and Zinfandel. The San Diego U-T readers’ poll awarded Koi Zen the best local winery for two years running, and their wines have won awards in competitions from local to international, earning points in the 90s. They give back to local charities and schools by hosting fundraisers. Koi Zen even received the Think Local First championship in 2017 by the San Diego North Business Chamber. Their fundraising efforts and Holiday Gift Extravaganza, coupled with hosting local musicians on the weekends and active memberships in local networking groups and the North San Diego Business Chamber, highlight the business as involved community members. Their tasting room and winery can double as a unique event space for corporate, private, and holiday events. Currently Koi Zen has entered their Crush season, processing 96,000 lbs. of grapes – equivalent to 3,000 cases of wine! They’ll be releasing a Petite Verdot and a few others for the cooler winter months, along with a Frenchstyle Stainless Chardonnay.

S
ince 2007, Principe di Tricase Winery has been making wine the traditional way – no added ingredients or sulfites. “We believe that grape juice should be the only ingredient in wine,” explained owner Alfredo Gallone. Alfredo is committed to making the wine the “ancient way,” following in the footsteps of small-country wineries in Italy. Pairing the rustic, old-world style winery with Italian family ambience makes a tasting at Principe di Tricase an unforgettable experience. The winery offers a selection of Italian wines, including Aglianico, Nebbiolo, Aleatico, Barbera, Sangiovese, and Moscato. “Our Dark Rose Aglianico rosé style is very unique,” Alfredo explained. “Aglianico is one of the most ancient wine grapes with a special self-preserving capability that is transferred into the wine, giving it a very characteristic flavor.” A number of their wines have been awarded medals from both national and international wine competitions. Principe di Tricase complements their Italian selection with a number of French wines. The wine list includes Petit Sirah, Sirah, Cabernet Franc, Cab Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Since the arrival from Italy of daughter Raffaella and son-in-law Alberto, wine tastings are hosted Thursdays through Sundays. It’s a family affair, and Alfredo, Alberto, and Raffaella are proud to personally host guests. They’re joined by Joaco Sanz, a 25-year veteran of the wine industry in Spain. Joaco may look familiar to some as he has been on a number of TV shows about wine and wine pairings. “He was known as ‘El Professor Del Vino,’” Alfredo shared, “the wine professor.” Tasting flights start at $10, but the tasting fee is waived with the purchase of a bottle of wine. Balsamic vinegars and olive oils are also produced in house and available for purchase. A unique pairing on the winery property is the Highland Valley Christmas Tree Farm. “Since we purchased the property, we have been selling Christmas trees, continuing a long tradition,” Alfredo said. For many years, families have been choosing and cutting their Christmas trees on the property. “The smile on the children’s and parents’ faces makes it worthwhile.” Producing excellent wines and maintaining their strong Italian family ambiance are priorities at the winery. “Principe di Tricase and our family are here for you,” Alfredo said. “Please come and visit us and share in the love of excellent wines and an unforgettable experience.”

reezy days full of sun, cool nights, and rocky soils make Ramona a perfect place to grow wine grapes of exceptional quality and why Ramona Valley is recognized as a designated viticultural area by the federal government. With more than 100 vineyards and over 35 wineries dedicated to crafting unique small-batch wines, Ramona is becoming known around the world as San Diego’s wine country. Crystal Hill Vineyard is one of the newer estate wineries to open its doors. Founded in 2014 with four acres of vines, they have already produced several award winners by focusing on quality at every step of the winemaking process. The founders, Scott and Miki Warner, take a holistic approach to vineyard management and production. They use only organic fertilizers and manage the land towards natural sustainability. “We make the wine in the vineyard,” said Scott. “In other words, what you taste in the bottle is the flavor of that soil enhanced by the story of the season – its challenges and its triumphs.”
ZCODE MAGAZINES WINE & SPIRITS GUIDE 2018
Crystal Hill features great views from its spacious outdoor patio and large porch. There’s also an indoor tasting room with an art gallery and restroom. The service is first class and the vibe is relaxing. They also offer a free tour of the vineyards and cellar with a guide that explains their approach to winemaking and how each piece of winery equipment is used. They currently offer a Chardonnay, a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Syrah, and two Merlots. Each of the wines includes a description of how it was made and from the tour you’ll learn about the special care that goes into every bottle they produce. For food, they provide some munchies with a wine tasting and also offer a cheese plate for $12. You can even bring your own food and make it a picnic! A wine tasting is $10 or free when you purchase one or more bottles of wine. Crystal Hill is dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and has ample parking. There’s space for groups up to 40 – just call ahead to reserve your seating and book your free tour.

ernardo Winery is a piece of San Diego history, producing San Diego-grown wine for three generations. Enjoy the ambiance of old California and rustic charm. The Kitchen, a Sicilian-California style restaurant, offers exceptional fresh hand-made pasta and brick-oven pizzas, recipes inspired by the Rizzo family. Explore the winery, gardens, and village of unique shops in the winery courtyard. Bernardo Winery is also the perfect backdrop for weddings, special events, the weekly farmers market, and regular live music. “At Bernardo Winery, our winemakers Ross Rizzo and Matty Ward strive to produce wines that best suit the San Diego terroir, wines that love our soil and our sunshine,” shared Samantha Nawrocki, Director of Marketing. “It allows them to play with some interesting varietals that thrive in a Mediterranean, warm climate.” Bernardo Winery produces beautiful silky, full-bodied reds like the Syrah, as well as whites like Albarino and Viognier that burst out flavor notes of citrus and creamy vanilla. Regulars on the tasting menu include Syrah and Petite Sirah, Grenache, Cabernet Franc, Zinfandel, Merlot, Malbec, and Sangiovese for the reds.
For whites, Albarino, Viognier, Chardonnay and Muscat are eager to dig their roots in and call San Diego home. San Diego was, after all, the first place that grapes were planted in California, and they thrive well here from the vine to the bottle. “We still, at Bernardo Winery, after 130 years, make our wines in the same traditional ways,” Samantha said, “while utilizing new technology and viticulture practices to produce wines that truly represent the region today.”

bnormal Wine Co. started six years ago as a small urban winery dedicated to the craft of creating unique wines from around the world. They took a craft beer approach to wine, developing wines that could be duplicated year after year, even using adjuncts to create new flavors and wines that depart from traditional wine culture. Abnormal has since grown to encompass an open-kitchen restaurant, The Cork and Craft, and a craft brewery, Abnormal Beer Co., to complete a truly unique experience for their guests. The winery has grown a barrel program, including aging wines in spirits barrels, working with local distillery Malahat Spirits and Newtopia Cider to forge truly Abnormal partnerships. These collaborations enable Abnormal to bring truly unique products to the market that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. 16990 Via Tazon #123, San Diego, CA 92127 / 858-618-2463 www.TheCorkandCraft.com / Mon.: closed | Tues. – Thurs.: 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Fri.: 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. | Sat.: 3 p.m. – 10 p.m. | Sun.: 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.

hough the Forgotten Barrel tasting room in Escondido opened in 2017, the property itself is steeped in history. Forgotten Barrel Winery occupies a historic winery, which was established in 1886 as one of the first vineyards in San Diego County and Southern California. It was then purchased by George Ferrara in 1928 and re-opened in 1932 with the passage of the 21st Amendment ending prohibition. During the following 75 years, Ferrara Winery grew to prominence in the California wine industry, and was designated a California historic point of interest in the late 1970s and a historic site by the City of Escondido in 1989. It was operated by three generations of the Ferrara family until 2010. Forgotten Barrel Owner Rodger Grove purchased the winery in 2016, working hard to restore this historic property while continuing to tell the story of the Ferrara family. The winery now offers wines produced on location in Escondido as well as wines produced at its Napa Valley winery. Forgotten Barrel’s winemaker sources grapes from Napa, Sonoma, Central California, and San Diego County. The property’s rustic charm provides a one-of-a-kind setting for weddings, birthday parties, or corporate events, either in the barrel room or in one of its outdoor venues. Forgotten Barrel is proud to be part of the history of the Escondido and San Diego County wine industry. For more information visit www.ForgottenBarrel.com.

With specific training in these processes, your child can become an independent and confident learner.

t GC Dance Company (GCDC) in Solana Beach, students are falling in love with dance! GCDC offers over 50 classes per week, including ballet, jazz, hip hop, musical theater, lyrical, contemporary, and acro. The studio also has combo classes for the youngest dancers, where they can learn the basics of ballet and tap or ballet and jazz in an encouraging environment. “Our classes focus on technique, choreography, fitness, and fun, and build confidence and lasting friendships amongst our students,” said Gabriella Carter, GCDC Owner and Director. Classes are taught by skilled, highly trained instructors. GCDC hip hop teacher Jordan Bautista recently performed on NBC’s World of Dance, where his signature funky moves captivated the judges. In addition to Jordan’s star power, two GCDC ballet teachers, Ariana Gonzalez and Geoff Gonzalez, are members of City Ballet of San Diego and have both trained and danced professionally all over the world. All GCDC teachers are awardwinning and industry-recognized for exceptional
choreography, creativity, and teaching. They are motivated, encouraging, and truly love instilling an appreciation and enjoyment of dance in their students. GCDC is always offering unique opportunities for students throughout the year. Over the summer dancers were involved in camps and technique classes. With the autumn season now in full swing, dancers are welcoming exciting new classes to change at the studio. Starting this year, GCDC will offer ballroom and Farfalla – a stretch and strengthening program for dancers founded by San Diego-based Iryna Yemengulova – classes on Friday evenings. And this winter, GCDC will be producing a Nutcracker ballet recital for all levels. Students will learn the classic holiday story of The Nutcracker and produce a professional-level ensemble show with traditional costumes. Rehearsals will include choreography instruction as well as technical instruction. The performance will be held on Nov. 30 at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center and is open to the community.

STUDIO WEST OFFERS AFTER SCHOOL WORKSHOPS FOR STUDENTS A
s the new school year begins, students are once again getting to create music at a world-class recording studio by participating in the Studio West After School Workshops. The workshops are led by Andy Walsh, who has been associated with Studio West for over 10 years and brings a wealth of experience as a producer, engineer, and musician. Andy is a 2012 graduate of our own music production program and also holds a B.A. in Music Humanities from UCSD but, most importantly, he creates an amazing environment for students to explore their musical creativity. The workshops center around collaborative and individual projects that challenge students, giving them the tools they need to make their musical ambitions a reality. Students develop their skills by listening to and critically analyzing
the music they love. From this insight, along with the experience of working in Studio West’s professional recording facility, students have the unique opportunity to make recordings that bring their creative visions to fruition. Students meet weekly for 90 minutes in focused groups of three to six students analyzing music, working on original compositions and arrangements, and ultimately recording their performances in the amazing studios. Students learn production techniques and get hands-on time with industry standard hardware and software packages such as Ableton Live and Pro Tools. Recruitment is ongoing and Andy and the Studio West team are always happy to offer tours of the studio to interested students. We look forward to hearing from you!

RECOVERY COMMUNITY
AT-A-GLANCE Name of Business: New Life House COO: David Saruk Years with the Company: 8 Year of Establishment: 1985 Address: 17252 Hawthorne Blvd., Suite 289, Torrance, CA 90504 Website: www.newlifehouse.com Email: info@newlifehouse.com Phone: 888-357-7577 Description of Business: New Life House is an age-specific, long-term structured aftercare facility designed to teach life skills and provide the community necessary for someone to overcome addiction and establish a new life.
L
ife-saving,” parents will attest to their experience with New Life House. These are powerful words for a program that has been providing just that for over 33 years. Founded in 1985, New Life House is the lifeline for young adults to overcome addiction and stay sober for the long-term. The founder of New Life House was inspired to start the program after experiencing addiction treatment. He saw the need for a program to serve as the missing link between short and long-term recovery. In fact, every staff member has experienced the program first-hand, offering insight into what residents may be experiencing. “The program has an unprecedented ability to hone in on the life struggles specific to 18- to 35-year-olds, and allows them to have a community around them in the same age range that can help out with direct experience,” explained David Saruk, Chief Operating Officer. Community is a cornerstone of the program. Family members are integrated throughout the recovery process, and residents build lifelong relationships. The active alumni program is proof of these bonds. “Our goal is to remain successful long after graduation, so we provide a resource for all our alumni to tap into anytime they need assistance,” David said.
The commitment to long-term sobriety sets New Life House apart from other treatment programs. “Trust people that have experience, and realize that recovery is a process that can’t be completed inside of a few months.” The average stay at New Life House is 13 months. Although people struggling with addiction “will be looking to manipulate the situation any way they can to avoid doing the rigorous internal work required to live a good life in recovery,” David acknowledged. This is a tough position for loved ones who are trying to make the best decision. “Building a foundation in recovery takes ample time, and it’s not something that can be accomplished inside of 30 days.” That foundation at New Life House is based on teaching vital life skills alongside treating the character of each resident, including the importance of a strong work ethic, living honestly, benefits of community, and essential coping skills for sobriety. “New Life House understands that abstinence is a vital stepping stone to true development of an individual,” David shared, “and our hands-on approach focuses on giving our residents the platform to become the best person they can be.”
“THE PROGRAM HAS AN UNPRECEDENTED ABILITY TO HONE IN ON THE LIFE STRUGGLES SPECIFIC TO 18- TO 35-YEAR-OLDS.” 18 • 92024MAGAZINE.COM • WINE & SPIRITS GUIDE 2018

Whether it’s a pick-up game of basketball after school or a competitive travel softball league, playing sports is a rite of passage for many kids. Playing sports and being active provides many benefits to children but parents, coaches, and trainers must also consider the risk of injury and take proper precautions. Although some sports-related dental injuries are unavoidable, many can be prevented with properly fitted helmets, face masks, and mouth guards.
surfaces. Protective equipment, such as a properly fitted mouth guard, takes the brunt of the force of impact and reduces the likelihood of a severe dental trauma. The American Dental Association and the International Academy of Sports Dentistry recommend the use of mouth guards in 29 sports or activities; however, currently the National Federation of State High School Associations only mandates the wearing of mouth guards in football, ice hockey, lacrosse, field hockey, and wrestlers with braces. Educating sports organizations, parents, coaches, and trainers on the benefits of protective equipment is key to reducing the potential of traumatic dental injuries to kids playing sports.
Sports-related traumatic dental injuries most often result from falls, collisions, or contact with other players, sports equipment, or hard
