have dealt with grandparents and parents and children. When its time for an important
purchase like an engagement ring or something they ask family wholl say, Oh youve
got to go to Ropers. Its an important component of who we are and our challenge is to
continue to provide that level of service so our current clients will tell their children.
What is your favorite piece of jewelry in the store?
That depends on the day. Maybe because I am surrounded by all of this beautiful
jewelry all of the time, for me to get gaga about a piece doesnt happen very often. But
right now there are definitely a couple of pieces I wouldnt mind taking home.
Anything you would like to say to the people who voted for you?
First of all, thank you; thank for continuing to trust and believe in us, for taking the

Auburn Farmers
Market
What do you feel sets this market apart and earned you the distinction?
It had been around since 1989. It was ahead of its time for the local food movement. There are
some growers still with us who have been here since the beginning. The community knows about the
farmers market in Old Town Auburn on Saturday. They can get produce, meat, eggs, flowers, honey
they know they can get it from people that they know, like an extension of their family.
Do the Wednesday and Saturday markets offer anything different?
The Old Town market is much larger and diverse than the one on Wednesdays at the DeWitt
Center, which has really high quality produce and vendors too. That one is in a park on grass with

Whats your reaction to
learning that you were chosen

investment companies?
Its truly an honor to be
recognized for building
relationships with those clients
we serve in this wonderful

What is it about your company or yourself that distinguishes you from
the competition? In short, why do you think you won?
Edward Jones is a partnership. That structure is not just financial; its a
philosophy. We work together, help each other and all share in the rewards
of working with long-term individual investors. That brings out the best in
everyone. Edward Jones embraces the importance of building long-term, faceto-face relationships with clients, helping them to understand and make sense
of the investment options available today.
What would you like to say to those who voted for you to win this
award?
Thank you. It is such an honor to be recognized by the community in which
we all serve. We will continue collectively, as well as individually, to always

Ours is a blend of vines from two different elevations. Some grapes are grown at our
vineyards here 1,000 feet or more and some come from El Dorado County at about
2,600 feet. Viognier does something different at those two elevations. The higher grapes
produce a more flowery, perfumey product; the lower ones more rich and complex.
Blending them together gets the right mix.
You won gold (2011 Tatonka Tempranillo) and silver (2011 Where the Buffalo
Roam) at this years State fair competition. Tell us about those wines.
Where the Buffalo Roam is our flagship wine, we started out with it and it
consistently does well at competitions. It took gold at the Orange County Fair and silver
at the Chronicle Wine Competition. Its a very versatile Rhone style blend which goes
well with a lot of different foods and is good by itself. Blending is really where its at;
theres a lot more flexibility and year after year it produces a wine that is relatively the
same. You are more able to compensate for certain variables when you blend. I am a big
Tempranillo fan, I think its the coming red in the foothills. It can be a difficult variety
to deal with; in some ways it takes longer to come around and show its true colors than
others. Its an interesting wine that tends to be a little more earthy and rustic than our
other wines.
Anything you would like to say to the people who voted for you?
Thank you, first and foremost. This is not something we campaign for. We were
really excited when we were told about it. It is an indication that we must be doing
something right. We are very grateful.
