Spencer Short
Mayor of Lincoln
Placer County is a great place to experience the best
that Northern California has to offer and Lincoln is a
the ideal place to start that journey. Lincoln exudes
hometown charm and small town character while
offering the proximity to big city amenities.
Lincoln has grown exponentially over the past
fifteen years, but retains its small town character by
maintaining the traditions of the past. Lincoln hosts
the Portuguese Festa (including parades, a sampling
of Portuguese foods, and a weekend long carnival and
party) which occurs five weeks after Easter each year,
a large 4th of July parade and fireworks show, and a
fantastic downtown Holiday parade and community
gathering in December.
Lincoln is the prime starting point for enjoying the
agricultural amenities of Placer County by hosting
a downtown farmers market through the summer
months and being a gathering point for exploration of
the wine and brewing arts in the adjacent countryside
year round. Lincoln hosts one of the few remaining
active rodeo complexes in Northern California that is in
constant use from spring through fall.
If the outdoors is your passion, Lincoln has a substantial
loop of bike trails and open space hiking paths nestled
into the foothills throughout the community. There
are vast nearby tracts of open space and a number
of venues for other outdoor activities including
photography, bird watching, hunting, fishing and
camping.
Lincoln’s Historic McBean Stadium is the home field
for William Jessup baseball and a number of other
baseball related activities that will be appearing shortly.
The Lincoln Regional Airport hosts an Airfest in June for
those interested in aeronautical pursuits.
If enjoying the arts, shopping and eateries are your
favored activities, come to downtown Lincoln to
enjoy a plethora of shops featuring a number of local
businesses and artists who have graced downtown
Lincoln for years. The Art League of Lincoln, Lincoln
Area Archives and Museum and the Lincoln Theater
Company offer various programs and shows to
entertain and educate visitors and enhance the
business climate of our downtown district.
Come see our entertainment, shopping and
recreational opportunities and discover Lincoln’s charm.

Boneshaker Brewery

O
nly a few wooden skeletons remain from Rocklin’s breakneck
life as a quarry town, but walking into Boneshaker Brewery on
Granite Drive, the weathered lumber and naked barn planks
illuminated by glinting Moonshine bottles hint to a much older style for the city. And just as the brewery’s ambiance harkens to chewed,
dusty lanes of the past, its young head chef and line cooks are out to prove
that an authentic way of doing things can cut through area’s modern,
box-restaurant monotony.

hub on Granite Drive, Anderson and
Pasquetti started developing a plan for
what they could do with a larger cooking area.
Dining
As the kitchen on Granite Drive was being prepared, Pasquetti set her
sights on creating an environment for the brewery that would showcase a rustic foothills Renaissance. She scoured South Placer for silvered
wood from rundown farms and abandoned cattle fences. She collected
rain-shaded pipes and aged, glass beer growlers. She eventually found
an oxidized bicycle from the turn of the century — the type of original, antique “boneshaker” from which the brewery gets its name. When
the establishment’s doors opened last spring, customers were walking into rooms with the appearance of a long-faded ranch, and the feel of an illegal backwoods distillery. Rows of dim, dirty pennies across the bar top
seal the experience. The kitchen’s budding Head Chef Brian Kenyon, was ready to match the
décor with an old-school approach that slaps at Rocklin’s gluttony of chain
restaurants. Kenyon’s assistant chef and line cooks have all been trained to
make every element of the menu from scratch, from hand-baked breads and
buns to hand-ground meat and bacon cured in-house. With a workmen’s
approach reminiscent of the bygone quarrymen, the kitchen team at this
indie Speak Easy is determined to shake up the city’s dining expectations.
One dish getting attention is Kenyon’s Roasted
Green Chili Chicken Sandwich, with its tender white meat slathered in a collision of biting
sour chili juices and a sweet tinge of red onions.
This searing sando’s hardy bread and browned
strips of bacon add a biting salty finish to each
mouthful.
Another highlight is Boneshaker’s crab cakes,
which are golden-crusted and swirled with a
red pepper puree teasing out the succulent textures in their center. The recipe’s sweet corn
and jalapeño touches create faint hints of honey
glaze on the edges, while also mustering some
seriously sharp nuances within their seasoning.
And if following how the register rings is any
indication, Bonekshaker’s mainstay burgers —
piled in aged white cheddar, gem lettuce, onion and aioli — continue to be one of the most
popular items with regulars. Placer County wines have found their own special niche at the brewery. Though Boneshaker
is famous for its beer, wine lovers will discover
plenty of vino options to wash down the robust
food. The brewery even pours Rocklin’s Davis
Dean Zinfandel, marked by a strong strawberry finish over its sweat, sea salt undertones, and
its calm balance of chocolate curves.
“From the moment we opened our first location, the concept has always been a high-end
twist on comfort food,” Anderson said. “And
that’s still what we’re doing, but with the bigger kitchen (on Granite Drive) it really allowed
us to see what we could do with new American cuisine.”
For Pasquetti, who spent years running a fine
dining Italian restaurant in Oregon, what she
witnesses Boneshaker’s kitchen doing can be
summed up in a single word she constantly
hears from customers.
“Fresh,” she said. “That’s what people seem to
be saying the most when they talk about what
we’re doing here.”
“We’d originally conceived of a menu with
more main dishes and entrees, but over the year
we’ve been focusing on items that are the most
requested. We’ve really taken the menu where
people have wanted us to go — where the customers have told us to take it,”
she added.
But Anderson, Pasquetti and Kenyon are not resting on the menu’s current popularity. The team is getting ready to add new items, including a hot
banger with house made fennel sausage, whole grain mustard, Gouda cheese,
dijonaise and bacon, as well as a beet salad with balsamic vinegarette, blue
cheese crumbles, toasted hazelnut and braised beets. Boneshaker will also be
mixing up some new summer-fresh salads and chicken lettuce wraps.
Kenyon says his team members feed off each others’ energy and ideas.
“We’re all relatively young in the kitchen,” he acknowledged, “so were combining everything we know, and turning it in to one approach.”
The group’s been experimenting daily with a variety of different mac-andcheese concoctions, including a mac and cheese with white Irish cheddar
and fat ziti noodles, topped with oven-served bread crumbs.
They are currently reviewing customer favorites
among their various mac-and-cheese trials,
with an eye on adding a few to the permanent menu. It’s just another smile-inducing conversation that happens
behind the piping grill and clutter of smoking pans.
“My favorite thing right now
is that we’re all just having
a blast,” Kenyon admitted.
“I have a great crew back
here. We’re always talking
about our kitchen having a
party with a purpose.” ■

Mikuni Japanese restaurants

ikuni restaurant is a Sacramento institution. With eight locations throughout the
area, it’s known for an innovative fusion of
Japanese and Californian flavors. Its menu
items range from classic Japanese fare to imaginative

ingredients and daily fish deliveries, and it’s no wonder
that the family-run business is wildly successful. But
the path to such success has been anything but straight

What happened next was quite literally a Godsend. While

authenticity of Komichi’s culinary skills. In the course of
their conversation, Arai shared his dream of opening a

Contemporary Chinese dining
Fat’s Asia Bistro & Dim Sum Bar offers diners a
fusion of Asian cuisine for American palates
By Anne Stokes |
Dining
T
he history of Frank Fat’s restaurant mirrors the history
of Sacramento itself: Opened in 1939 by Chinese immigrant Dong “Frank” Sai-Fat in a former speak easy
two blocks away from the State Capitol, Fat’s eventually
became synonymous with political “power lunches” where landmark bills were worked out over plates of Honey Walnut Prawns,
Frank’s style New York steak and banana cream pie. A far cry
from his own humble beginnings, Fat immigrated to the United
States in 1919, waiting tables, washing dishes and picking fruit
before luck landed him the opportunity to open his own restaurant on L Street. Over 70 years later, the Fat family still presides
over four area restaurants, making it Sacramento’s oldest eatery
owned and operated by the same family in the same location.
In 2000, the family grew to include Fat’s Asia Bistro and Dim
Sum Bar in Roseville. With the expansion came changes to
Frank Fat’s original authentic menu, balancing traditional Chinese dishes and American tastes.
“It’s kind of a fusion of American-Chinese food,” explains Executive Chef Brian Griffin. “A lot of the things we do here are
based off of old Chinese recipes, a majority of it is authentic-style,
just with more Americanized ingredients.”
Griffin, who started with the company a little over a year ago and
now acts as executive chef in Roseville and Folsom, has brought
his New York attitude and experience to the Fat family restaurants. Griffin is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America
at Hyde Park and he looks to infuse the menu with European
inspiration.
“I’ve added a bit of French cuisine to what we do here, and that’s where
some of our specials come from,” he says. “I’m trying to infuse the
bistro-style into the Asian food, like seared duck breast and cinnamon-raspberry sauces. Traditional Chinese food is steamed or boiled.
Instead of boiling it in water, I boil it in consume. It totally changes
things and it’s just the way I create food.”
Fat’s Roseville location, which has done brisk business since its opening
15 years ago, has been successful in adjusting its traditional roots to local clientele’s expectations, with the menu reflecting just such an eclectic mix of entrées. Dishes such as the Hong Kong Special Chow Mein
feature crispy pan-fried noodles in lieu of more common soft noodles.
Fat’s fusions also extend to other Asian influences, as in their selection
of sushi rolls: Chicken cucumber, cashew salmon and their unique Iron
Point roll. And, of course, the menu still features those iconic entrees
that have kept Fat’s in business for the past seven decades — in particular Fat’s famous Honey Walnut Prawns, lightly fried and glazed with
honey sauce.
“For being open for 15 years, we’re doing great,” says Assistant General
Manager Jessica Medrano. “We still have a wait on Fridays and Saturdays, and we have a wait on Tuesdays because of our $10 deals. It’s
10 different items, and they’re $10 apiece. We have two appetizers on
there, [seven different] entrées, and two glasses of wine that you can
get for $10.”

The restaurant’s ambiance too is a fusion of Asian influence and a more
modern European bistro. Designed by BCV Architects of San Francisco, high-vaulted ceilings with post and beam structures inspired by
ancient Asian temples, contemporary furnishings, and tropical palm
trees, all evoke a contemporary feel alongside traditional Asian-inspired artwork.
“We have wonderful ambiance, we have great staff, there’s a lot of heart

But it’s not just the

even provide an escort to walk patrons to their cars.
“Have you ever seen 'Roadhouse?'” asked operations manager
Fred Gardner. “These are polite professionals who carry ‘guard

sliced ham. A tomato jam with chipotle aioli gave the
dish a delightful kick.
But while mixologists are imagining delicious concoctions, world-class chefs are perfectly plating special fare.
But my favorite flavor of the day was found in the zabaglione sauce that topped a fluffy and perfectly browned
Grand Marnier soufflé. Too rich for lunch, you might
ask? Absolutely not. There’s never a wrong time for a perfectly prepared dessert. Chefs formerly from well-known restaurants like Ruth’s
Chris, Meritage and Horseshoe Bar and Grill take their
tasks seriously.
“Some favorite dishes include artisan pizzas and the duck
egg roll,” said Chef Vincent Alexander. “But our Beef
Wellington is a dish that people in the region will follow me from place to place to enjoy.”
Additional favorites include the
pork tenderloin with port wine
demi-glaze and the BLT featuring
house-made bacon, topped with
tangy arugula.

It’s hard to decide whether it’s
the chef ’s special that will keep
me coming back for more, or if
it’s the atmosphere. “I didn’t want a sports bar. I
didn’t want a place that just catered to men,” Harwinder Bisla said. “I wanted a sophisticated ambiance with quality service
and the best chefs around.”
Mission accomplished. ■

Mandarins
Oranges
Placer County Mandarins are shipped
coast-to-coast. Why? Simply put, Satsuma
Mandarins from Placer County taste like
no others. Full of flavor and so sweet,
these gems are a product of a special
“terroir.” Some say it’s the soil, some say it
is something in the water, but wherever the
magic comes from, you will have to taste it
to believe it because Placer County has the
best Mandarins in the world.
Citrus thrives in Placer County and
oranges are no exception. There
are several varieties that ripen from
December through June, each with its
own distinct characteristic. All of the
varieties have one thing in common—
they taste delicious.
Pears
Apples
Placer County grows both European
and Asian pear varieties that serve as a
delight to customers when they appear
in late August, signaling the change of
the seasons.
One of Placer County’s best fruits for
storage are apples, which you can find
for sale right off the tree from August
through early spring. Crispy, sweet and
flavorful, numerous varieties of Placer
County apples can be enjoyed fresh or
baked. Apples are best stored in dry,
cool spaces.
Walnuts
Listed as a Placer County “Top 5”
crop, these crunchy, sweet and fresh
nuts are full of flavor. Walnuts are
wonderful eaten fresh out of the shell
and store well in a freezer for future
use.
Peaches
Placer County is known for the
exquisite flavor of its peaches. Peach
lovers can’t wait for the first fruits to
appear each June! Sliced, dried, in
pie, or freshly-picked off of the tree,
Placer County peaches are a standout crop.
Plums, Prunes,
Pluots
Once known as the stone fruit capitol
of the world, many hard-to-find
plums, prunes, and pluots are found
here in Placer. If you are looking for
the full taste of summer in one bite,
look no further.
Berries
Tomatoes
Kiwi
Tayberries, blackberries, strawberries,
and blueberries are a welcome sight
in late spring and early summer. These
flavorful jewels are hard to beat in
both flavor and quality. Try some and
taste the difference.
In a land made famous by tomatoes,
Placer County’s juicy orbs stand out.
Beautiful and full of old-fashioned
flavor, these tomatoes can be canned,
frozen, dried or eaten right off the
vine.
Shipped internationally, PlacerGROWN
kiwi are prized for their flavor and
quality. This winter fruit brightens up

GoatHouse Brewing Company
Goathouse Brewery
Lincoln beer maker grows own hops
I
By Anne Stokes |
f you find something you like at GoatHouse
Brewing Company, get it while you can! The
farmhouse brewery specializes in small, seasonal, artisanal batches of beer featuring the 20
varietals of hops grown on site at the 11-acre farm in
Lincoln.
Dining
“Everything is very seasonal. What’s in season now,
you get now. So when the citrus is gone, the beers
made with citrus are gone. They don’t come back until
the next harvest,” Cathy Johnson said, who owns and
runs the business with her husband, brew master Michael Johnson.
From Pilsners and IPAs to dark ales and stouts, the
nanobrewery’s tasting room typically features eight or
nine beers at a time, an impressive selection considering each batch only yields about six kegs. Seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs and honey produced on the
farm are incorporated into brews as well. With their
brewery in such close proximity to their hops supply,
GoatHouse is known for their fresh-hopped beers,
which is only available annually during the summer
harvest time.

The sky is the limit as to what you can add in and create with.

Wise Villa pouring gold
Awards are stacking up for Lincoln Winery
D
By Anne Stokes |
r. Grover Lee spent five years searching for just the right
place to start his own winery.
"When I saw the hills, I knew it was perfect. When I saw
the decomposed granite, I thought, ‘Wow, this is a dream
come true!’" he recalled. "It was perfect."
Dining
With that auspicious start 10 years ago, Wise Villa Winery has made
an award-winning name for itself, garnering numerous Gold, Double Gold and Best of Class awards from some of the largest wine
competitions in the country, including the California State Fair and
the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
"We specialize in making the best wine known to man. That’s the
goal, that every single wine that we make be at absolute minimum
a gold medal winner and we’ve pretty much done that. Our [2011]
Cabernet was given the No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon in the United
States in the San Francisco Chronicle," Lee said. "We had seven Best
of Class this last year. Any winery that gets one in any year is ecstatic
because there are [thousands of] entries so Best of Class is a big deal."
According to Lee, the secret to his success is his particular attention to the winemaking process and making the most of the 12 estate-grown grape varietals. "Our vineyards are 100 percent organic. We use no pesticides and everything is recycled. We grow very
specific grasses and legumes for natural fertilization. We do triple
sorting, we do triple pruning so
it’s a very meticulous process,"
he explained. "We do cold fermentation, so instead of a fouror five-day process, typical for
a hot fermentation, ours takes a
month to two or three months.
But the fruit component of the
wine is off the charts, compared
to a quick, hot fermentation."

Brewery holds ground in crowded industry
Local craft beer boom has been blessing and curse for Roseville Brewing company
By Andrew Westrope |

hen Kelly Rue opened Roseville Brewing Company in February 2012, craft
beer was a niche market around Roseville and his was the only game in
town.
Three and a half years later, he’s competing with more than half a dozen
breweries in South Placer, turning out about 400 barrels a year, almost twice the volume
he started with, and hoping to open a pub at some point.
Dining
Rue was running clothing stores when he moved to Roseville in 2000, but he’d picked
up an interest in the brewing business while working at a microbrew restaurant during
his college years in Nebraska, and his affinity for it never left him. He was enticed by the
brewing process, and once in Roseville he teamed with Brett Ratcliff, still his head brewer, to create the job he really wanted.
“I had been in corporate (work) for quite a while, and I have a family, and I wanted to
have more of a community. I just love the community atmosphere around a brewery,” he
said, talking over a pint in his industrial taproom on Derek Place. “Where we are, we get
people that walk here from Diamond Oaks, from Kaseberg, and they just walk over here
and we know them all. … It’s like a little family in here. Of course we do distribution too,
but my dream was to have a place that I could come and really enjoy just going to work.”
Even with the production of roughly 400 barrels a year, Rue’s company is still a relatively
small operation, but he’s staked out a place in the region. Today his beers are available on

Deli in Lincoln. Bottles are available at Total Wine in Roseville, Folsom and Sacramento, at Nugget in Roseville and West Sacramento, and
Whole Foods in Roseville.
Aside from bottling and distribution, Rue said his business has also grown
through events, as Roseville Brewing Company serves thousands of people at HP’s employee parties and regularly provides refreshments for local companies and organizations at private and corporate parties, holidays, birthday parties, Oktoberfest events and food cook-offs, among many others.
The company’s five flagship beers, which it bottles, have railroad-themed
names — Big Engine Blackberry Wheat, Heavy Rail Pale Ale, Steam
Horse Stout, Armstrong Amber and Spike Driver Double IPA — and it
makes anywhere from six to 12 others on rotation.
“
We have a good eight breweries in this area, so it’s really
nice to get in a limousine and go around to all the breweries.”
Kelly Rue
Owner
“We’re so small that we can experiment on a regular basis,” he said. “We
put them on tap, see what people think and then they might become more
mainstream. When we start bottling, that means we know that people
like them.”
In December, Rue plans to bring back a chocolate peppermint milk stout
that had a popular trial run last Christmas, along with a new chocolate
coffee stout this winter.
Variety is an essential draw for his customers, but that means they’re interested in the competition, too. Rue said his was the second brewery to
open in South Placer after Loomis Basin, but since then Boneshakers, Out
of Bounds, Dragas, GoatHouse and Monk’s Cellar have also entered the
game, not to mention others in Auburn.
“There’s part of me that loves it, because we have things happening in
Placer County, especially right now, where people are actually traveling
here because there are a bunch of brewery tours being set up,” he said. “We
have a good eight breweries in this area, so it’s really nice to get in a limousine and go around to all the breweries. We have people actually setting up
companies to do those tours, so that would only happen if there are enough
breweries in one area.”
On the other hand, Rue said, the proliferation of options for beer drinkers
has meant their money is divided among more brands, especially on grocery store shelves, so he isn’t yet certain what the local craft-beer boom has
done for his business. But he’s looking forward, hoping to build his own
pub restaurant at some point in the next three years, a proper retail presence with food and more seating.
“I’ve been looking around, and of course money is a huge thing, whether
we have the money or not to open another business,” he said. “That’s kind
of the goal.” ■

Craft Beer Vault unlocks Local brews
Several regionally-made beers available at one Rocklin location

Brewery. Loomis Basin.
The list of breweries in and around Placer County grows every year, but to sample them all, one
would need a long night and a full tank of gas (and a designated driver). Lincoln resident and beer connoisseur Brent
Welburn is betting his new business in Rocklin that enthusiasts like him would just as soon have their favorites
in one place.
Following a few trial days with friends and family, Welburn opened Craft Beer Vault in a tucked-away corner outlet at Rocklin’s 6508 Lonetree Blvd. It’s difficult to spot
from the main road, but the establishment has a clean,
open-seating area within and a gated outdoor patio next
to fountains.
Welburn thought it was a simple setting for a simple conceit, his own little distribution outlet for the region’s burgeoning beer culture.
“What we do is people come here and they can try a beer
from a brewery, and if they like it, maybe they’ll go, ‘Oh,
we’ll go to the brewery,’” he said. “So we want to help promote the local breweries, and stuff from out of the area that
you’re not going to find anywhere around here.”
Welburn said his 12 taps serve beers from six local craft
breweries and another six from wider regional ones — not
Sierra Nevada, which customers could get anywhere, but
the varieties they might otherwise have to drive across city
or county lines to find. He intends to expand this selection
to 20 at some point, and he serves another 25 varieties in
bottles.

Craft Beer Vault in Rocklin has 12 local and regional beers on tap, including the owner’s favorites from Roseville,
Rocklin, Lincoln and Loomis.
Welburn’s selections came from visiting regional breweries and sampling them all, then making deals with brewers so he could serve his favorites at Craft Beer Vault.
He said an interest in craft brews took root in his youth,
having bartended his way through college at a nightclub
in San Jose, then bloomed when he moved to England
with his wife.
“We experienced all the beers over there. With Belgian
purity laws and everything, they take beer very, very seriously,” he said.
Welburn said he wanted not necessarily a “pub” feel, or
a bar that serves everything, but a local watering hole to
which people would walk across the street or parking lot
after work for a pint of their favorite local brew.
He said he may serve a few snacks but preferred not to
“All the restaurants close at nine or 10 o’clock. If (people) get out of the movies at 9:30, they want to go have
a drink and relax, there was nowhere to go,” he said.
“Now all the workers can come here after and have a
drink when they’re done with their shifts. I’m staying
open later than most (nearby businesses).”
Rocklin Economic Development Director Karen Garner said in an email that she’s seen a growing interest in
craft beer nationwide, and Rocklin has been no exception. She said the successes of Dragas, Out of Bounds
and both Boneshaker establishments have proven there’s
a customer base for it, and social media has been instrumental in marketing and broadening their appeal.
“The craft breweries also draw people interested in craft
brew from outside Rocklin. It’s not unusual to have
groups stop in at two or three different places to sample
the beer,” Garner said. “Craft brew also appeals to a wide
age range and tends to be a bit more casual as compared
to wine-tasting establishments. We get occasional inquiries from other potential craft brew establishments, but
no additional places planned yet.” ■
Dining
When he moved back to the states, Welburn guessed
that the English model of neighborhood pubs wouldn’t
work in a community like Rocklin, but a well-placed taproom might. He started looking for a location about a
year ago, mainly in Roseville and Rocklin, and chose
the outlet on Lonetree Boulevard for several reasons:
Its proximity to his home in Lincoln, Rocklin’s demographic, and most of all its surroundings — a growing
neighborhood and commercial center with housing developments nearby and no other bars or taprooms within
walking distance.
open a food-oriented place, to spare himself the trouble of waiting on tables and compromising with slower
drink service. People who frequent the Lonetree shopping center can bring their own food from local restaurants if they want, Welburn said, and otherwise rendezvous at Craft Beer Vault for drinks and a social hour.

t 83 years old, today is just another day for founders Jon and Barbara Rogers. They arrive early with
dogs in tow and enter the half-a-million squarefoot facility in Lincoln that is the evolution of the
little company they started over 30 years earlier. They stop
to chat with dozens of people they have known and worked
with for decades on their way to their pair of offices at the
end of the hall. The offices next to and across the hall are for
their four children, all of whom hold top positions in this
company that is San Francisco Bay Gourmet Coffee.
When Jon left the advertising industry in the late '70s, he
decided that he wanted to start a company where he and his
family could have the freedom to run things their way. Many
long tough years later, the Rogers family is still growing, and
so is their company. What started as a little shop on a downtown San Francisco street has become a company with global
distribution, over 300 employees, and a host of coffee farms
and mills all over the world.
Since the beginning, Jon and Barbara have been the heart
and soul of the company that is now home to so many. With

oseville recently said happy birthday to the house the brothers’ Oliver built.
Granite Bay and Roseville have never seen anything quite like this, a spot
where you can come and enjoy an exceptional glass of wine with your
friends at attractive prices. It’s a space the Oliver brothers compare to the
television bar Cheers, “where everybody knows your name.” It’s an atmosphere they
felt couldn’t be found in the area before.
“We were staying in Spain three years ago and a band was playing, and it hit us
– there’s nowhere back home that stays open till midnight; a fun, intimate place
where your family and friends come together,” said Matthew Oliver. “At a restaurant they just want to turn a table. At House of Oliver we want you to sit down, relax with a glass of wine and the next thing you know you’re here for three hours.”
Kyle Oliver said they are the only establishment in the area that offers daily wine
flights.
“We’re classy but comfortable,” Kyle noted, “and our small plates are fresh and
local.”
With an intimate ambiance and exciting food choices, the star of this show is always the wine.

The band Blindingly White gave a stellar performance at House of Oliver’s anniversary party.
One of the joys, when trying new wines, is sampling
wine flights, which means three wines, making side-byside comparisons, with notes about each wine that explain the region, varietal and the notes that you will taste
within each glass.
The wine bar has live music on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and they have sell-out crowds during special
events. Vintners visit the establishment, thanks to relationships that the brothers have formed with wine makers throughout the state.
“It’s a fun way to try new wines, and you can choose your
favorite and grab a glass or a bottle,” Kyle said.
It’s all about relationships, according to the brothers.
Relationships that they make with wine makers and
relationships that people make with one another when
they stop in for a taste.
Matthew explained that their goal is to play with wines
and to showcase everything.
“Not all Chardonnays are buttery, and not all Cabs are
big. Let’s find something that moves you,” he said. “We
want to find you the best wine, whether it’s local, regional or international,” he said.
House of Oliver offers a variety of beer as well, and great
happy-hour prices of $3 for beer, and a rotating selection of wines — emphasis on the fact that there are no
house wines.
“People who appreciate wine develop friendships, and
they appreciate the special wines, the comfortable atmosphere and that there’s always something fun going on
at House of Oliver. It’s a wonderful thing as an owner,
to know that people feel so comfortable here,” Kyle said.
“People leave here and they feel good.”
In addition to serving wines by the glass, House of Oliver offers different wine club packages, which includes a
wine locker, wine and exclusive use of the club room. ■
Night Life
“In a restaurant you’re always looking for the wine that
you know,” Matthew observed. “You might never experience a variety. We experiment with local, boutique
wines, rare wines and special finds. On any given week
we will taste 100 wines to find just one gem.”
“We simply take our regular wine list and rotate happy-hour offerings for $10 a glass. The big day is Tuesday, we call it $10 Tuesday. We offer Rombauer, Frank
Family wines and more,” Kyle said. “And recently we’ve
been pouring high-end wines that no one else would sell
by the glass. A three-ounce sample could be from a $150
bottle of wine.”
The guys are always looking for the best vino around.

BIRTHDAY BASH:
Roseville Aquatics Complex Turns 20
City celebrates notable anniversary for recreational and competition pool
By Scott Noble
L
ocated in the heart of Woodcreek Oaks residences, adjacent to Woodcreek High School,
the Roseville Aquatics Complex has been a
friendly and inviting spot for families, children
and avid swimmers to cool off, get in a few laps or relax on the pool deck and perfect their tan for the past
20 years.
Roseville Parks and Recreation had a pool party of sorts
July 11 in celebration of the past two decades of summer
fun and recreation swim at the complex. “Seventeen years ago, there were very few buildings
within a mile of the complex and now it seems the community has grown up around us,” Alexa Pritchard, recreation supervisor for Roseville, said during the four-hourlong party, which was free for the public.
Like the neighborhood, many of the staff and patrons
grew up too. Pritchard says some of the kids start out as
patrons and eventually, they become summer hires staffing the gates, concessions, and guard crew and some just
end up staying. 36 | Placer Valley Tourism
Megan Hylton is one such example who began working
summers at 15 and now fills the role of recreation coordinator for Parks and Recreation. But she’s not the only
one to have strong ties to the complex. “My mother is a teacher and for 40 summers, she has
worked with the department and my sisters also work
here at the complex,” Hylton explained. “I guess you
could say it is pretty much a family affair.”
All three sisters took swim lessons at the complex and return each summer to have some fun in the sun.
The facility has also been a frequent host of area and regional swimming competitions and, as Hylton says, the
area has turned out some notable talents over the years.
Former world record holder, Randal Bal of Fair Oaks
and Olympic champion, Summers Sanders, whom the
competition pool is named for have put the complex on
the map.
“Summer and Randal’s success has motivated some of
our club swimmers and many have gone on to swim collegiately,” Hylton acknowledged.
Pritchard says the competition pool is
shared with California Capitol Aquatics,
or CCA and Woodcreek High School,
which makes it possible to host many different competitions throughout the year.
“CCA dedicated funding to the competition pool and that not only makes it possible for year-round use, but they bring people in from all over the western U.S. to our
city for meets,” she said.

success to the constant training and dedication of the guard staff.
“We constantly work on improving our
safety procedures because our guests deserve the best from us and I believe our record reflects just that,” she said.
Not only is safety paramount, but service
is as well. Barsotti recalled a story about a 7-year-old
girl who was suffering from a form of brain
cancer, but still wanted to swim competitively. The young girl needed lessons, but
they were only offered in the afternoon and
due to her illness, the girl was too tired by
that time of day. Fortunately, a staff member stepped up.
“The instructor gave this little girl lessons
and got her up to competition speed on her
own time without missing a beat on her
regular schedule,” she said.
That instance speaks directly to what Barsotti feels is the mission of her and the staff
at Parks and Recreation. “We are in the business of making people
happy and through recreation, we accomplish just that,” she said. “We spend each
day wanting the citizens of our community
to have an exceptional experience.” ■

he fall of 2015 saw the arrival of Bass Pros Shops in
Rocklin.
The store’s General Manager Dan Dugger, an avid hunter
and fisherman, said the whole region experienced major
anticipation in the months leading up to the opening.
“Every day, we were getting people (asking), ‘When does it
open?’” Dugger said. “Our customers were chomping at the bit.”
The Rocklin store is the company’s third location in California
after those in Rancho Cucamonga and Manteca, with another
set to open soon in San Jose. Bass Pro Shops has more than 90
stores in the U.S. and Canada, and though each of them stocks
approximately the same merchandise —
hunting, camping, fishing, boats, tractors and most anything one could want for outdoor
recreation — no two stores are quite alike.
“Every store is different, because it replicates the local area around
that store,” Dugger said. “When you go to any Bass Pro, you’re
going to say, ‘I’ve never seen that before.’”
In the company’s own words, it has outfitted Rocklin’s store with

Quidditch
Roseville Entertains Quidditch Fanatics
Harry Potter-inspired sport gains local, national popularity
By Steven Wilson

he beautiful skies and wide-open fields of Maidu
Regional Park in Roseville played home to the
quirky, yet entertaining sport of quidditch on Feb.
14-15. Spanning across the 152 acres —
the same
park that hosted the 2013 West Regional Championship
— Harry Potter buffs dressed not in robes, but in spandex and jerseys with a broom between their legs, gathered
while hundreds of spectators viewed the festivities.
on either side of the field. A dodge ball represents the bludger, which can be thrown at any player on the field.
The final component of the game is the only misrepresentation from the book.
Twenty-two teams partook in the West Quarterfinals as
each competed for the trophy and top bidding in the World
Cup in April.
The snitch — which is a flying, golden globe in J.K. Rowling’s series — is a player dressed in yellow with a short, removable tail. This player enters the playing field in the 18th
minute and runs away from the two seekers from either
squad. If either seeker pulls the tail, the match ends and
that team earns 30 points.
“Quidditch is definitely a little unique when you see it for
the first time,” Western Regional Director Evan Bell said.
Two years ago, the snitch used to be a sock with a tennis
ball in it.
While the basic premise of scoring more points than your
opponent still holds true, participants must simulate flying
while competing by holding a broom between their legs.
“We have standardized shorts now,” Bell said. “They are attached to the tail by Velcro.
The games are also co-ed, thus two women must be on the
field for each team at any given time.
Like the fairly tale Harry Potter novels, the game is scoring remains the same. A volleyball is used as the quaffle and
gives a team 10 points if thrown through one of three goals
“Snitches are volunteers, but I can tell you it’s the most fun
position in the game — you don’t need to get paid for this.”
The very first game of quidditch was played on Battell
Beach at Middlebury College in Vermont in October of
2005. Fast-forward 10 years and there are 150 teams competing around the U.S.
The Los Angeles Gambits are one of those
teams, and although they are newly formed, they
have moved up in the rankings quickly. En route
to Eighth Man (a quidditch publication) Top10 honors, the Gambits won Roseville’s West
Quarterfinals with a 160-100 victory over the
Lost Boys.
Gambits co-captain Steve DiCarlo and Tony
Rodriguez left that same Lost Boys team to start
the program a few years back and picked up Edgar Pavlovsky along the way.
Pavlovsky was the captain of Crimson Elite, a rival Utah-based community team that the Gambits ended up defeating in the semifinals on Feb.
15, 2015 in Roseville. Pavlovsky helped seal the
Gambits win in the finals as he snagged the
snitch in crunch time.
You could say the Gambits had the element of
fear on their side.
“The hair is definitely intimidating,” said Caylen
McDonald, who sports bright pink hair. “They
see the shaved head (on one side, and the red hair
on the other) and the lip ring — I have to enlist
some sort of fear in my enemies.”
Evan Bell
Quiddich western regional director
pulled over, (and) one car (didn’t arrive) to our hotel until four hours before player check-in.”
But come game day, the Gambits were spectacular.
They earned a trio of wins on day one of competition at Maidu with wins over Riverside Quidditch, Wizards of Westwood and the University of Southern California and entered day two as the No. 1 seed.
The Gambits became just the sixth program to ever play in a West Regional final,
and the fifth to win the trophy. They also denied the Lost Boys from becoming the
second team ever to win two Western Cup titles — a feat managed only by Arizona State University in the first pair of Regional Tournaments in 2005 and 2006.
To view a video of the match, log on to thepresstribune.com/sports. ■
The Lost Boys entered the finals 55-1 in their
past 56 games against the West and had won
their past two meeting against L.A., but the
Gambits earned the upset in the finals and led
wire-to-wire over their rivals to clinch a spot in
the World Cup Tournament.
“We have high expectations for our first showing as a team on the sport's national stage,” DiCarlo added. “And we hope to finally bring the
World Cup trophy to California come April."
Getting to the regionals wasn’t an easy task
though.
According to the Gambits Facebook page, they
had, “one player was strip-searched by TSA, another group’s flight was canceled, one car was
Sports
"Winning Western Regionals meant the world
to us, because several of our players were happy to just qualify for the last World Cup and
our performance in Roseville means we stand a
chance of actually winning the cup this year,”
Gambits co-captain Steve DiCarlo said. “Going undefeated all weekend was a huge team effort, and each of our players performed exactly as
we've practiced all year.”

Snitches are volunteers, but I can tell you it’s the most fun position

beat the heat
No Truck, no boat, no problem
By Scott Noble
S
ummer is the season when temperatures rise and
water sports activity reaches a fever pitch. Californians hit the beaches, lakes and rivers in order
to participate in their favorite waterborne activity and beat the summer heat. For some, a surfboard and
endless sets of waves are just what they crave, but for others a wakeboard and a calm body of water will fit the bill.
Up until the past few years, wakeboard enthusiasts in Roseville and surrounding areas needed a third ingredient to
get their waterborne fix; a boat. Nevada City native, Noel
Carter, owner and founder of Wake Island Waterpark has
made it possible to learn and enjoy the sport of wakeboarding without the hassle and expense of using a boat. Five
years ago, Carter decided to bring Wake Island to life and
after two years of planning, the park opened.
three days, I was hooked,” he said.
Carter says there are parks similar to his all over Asia and
Europe and the concept makes it much easier for people to
get involved with the sport when normally, the cost and access to a boat would make it impossible.
“The cost of owning and operating a boat along with the logistics of getting it to a lake makes it virtually impossible for
a lot of people to enjoy the sport,” he said.
“A cable park allows someone who previously had no access to a boat the opportunity to learn how to wakeboard,”
he added
A cable park consists of a lake with an electrically powered
cable system suspended above the water. It pretty much reCarter explained his introduction to the sport while living sembles a ski lift except it is on a flat plane about 30 feet in

complete menu, sand volleyball courts, and

cost. Carter said the park offers a complete
line of wakeboards, equipment and apparel as well.
“With this being a new and even strange
concept, the County officials were very flexible and helpful through the process,” he
said.
Not only does the facility have an economic and recreational impact, it is doing its
part to conserve and promote environmentally sound business. Carter says the lakes
are treated with a non-toxic stabilizer used
at Disney parks and stocks the lakes with
certain fish who act as natural “cleaners.”
He also says the park uses no more water
than a baseball park would employ in their
normal watering and upkeep. Additionally,

“We see perfect strangers encouraging each system,” he said.
“I stopped by and checked it out and after that first visit, I enrolled my kids in the
wakeboard camp,” she said.
The property at Wake Island Waterpark
is not new to the area; its concept has just
evolved. It was originally built in 1998 as a
waterskiing facility and served that purpose
until Carter put together some investment
capital and purchased the site. The park is
encompassed by three large lakes around 10
acres each and a smaller lake used for beginner instruction. The largest of the four
is still available for traditional water skiing and wake boarding while the other two
serve different purposes. One is exclusively
used for cable wake boarding while the other is multi-purpose.

The camp is three weeks long and campers

watching her kids learn a new sport.
“The kids tried everything when we first got

a tow rope and off they go. The lake is dotted with sliders, rails, ramps and A-frames
which would look just as at home on a ski
slope as they do in the water. (Like Carter
said: one must see it to believe it). Riders can
enjoy a circuit around the lake or perform
tricks at their leisure. If a wake boarder takes
a spill, all they need do is paddle to the side
and rejoin the line at the starting point.

Rocklin Event Center gets a brand new look
venue caters to weddings, parties and business conferences
By Matthew Whitley

ajor changes and upgrades at the City of Rocklin’s
Event Center have wrapped up, leaving residents
seeing sleek improvements to one of the city’s main
entertainment and gathering hubs.
The Event Center was originally a small church. It has been
owned by the City of Rocklin for several years. It’s designed to
serve the community’s needs, including, weddings, conferences,
social events, classrooms and senior activities. The center features
a Grand Ball Room with 21-foot ceilings, a built-in stage, sound
system and Wi-Fi. It can seat 320 people with tables and 450 with
theater seating. The center also boasts a smaller Ball Room, as well
as The Garden Room, which is adjacent to the private garden, and
the Bride and Groom Ready Suites that come furnished with lockers, couches and large televisions.
City officials said the Alpine Room, attached to the groom suite,
is also extremely popular for Super Bowl parties and private functions that need large screens, a wet bar, couches, a pool table and
video games.
The center’s overall interior is more neutral, calming with soft tans
and rocks dimpled throughout the layout. The design of its artwork
came from Rocklin Director of Public Services Rick Forstall, who
worked to create warm, clean and inviting space peppered in interesting paintings and images. The French Club and various senior
groups populate the smaller rooms during the day.
The venue’s garden seems almost designed with weddings in mind.
Its centerpiece is a large fountain near a gazebo and white pergola.

Catered events are also a natural fit for the Rocklin Events
Center. It comes equipped with
a full commercial kitchen, plenty of food warmers and stations
for appetizer preparation and a
wait staff. Kevin Huntzinger,
community services coordinator
at the City of Rocklin, said the
center’s garden and Grand Ball
Room are already well booked
into the next summer by anxious couples waiting for their
big day.

Cost
Pricing for events ranges
from $110 per hour to $140,
depending dates and needs
involved.
“It makes Rocklin even more of
a destination, giving locals access to a great facility without leaving
town,” said Rocklin Manager of City Projects Troy Holt.
More events at the center may also help Rocklin’s local economy,
generating revenue for photographers, florists and caterers that
might otherwise go to destinations in Sacramento or Lake Tahoe.
Huntzinger stressed that the facility’s versatility is also a major
advantage.
“The Center is great for small parties, birthdays, business conferences,” he said, adding that it recently hosted a major religious
event that brought people from around Placer Country — something Rocklin could not have accomplished even a few years ago. ■
