COVER STORY
gin
Auburn spirit maker
recognized for gin
BY JULIE MILLER PHOTOS BY MATTHEW CARLSON
I f you like gin, you might just fall in love with Darjeeling gin.
California Distilled Spirits Darjeeling Gin is distilled in Auburn. It is the
only distillery in Placer County. Its closest neighbors are scattered about in El
Dorado Hills, Tahoe and Citrus Heights.
Ed Arnold is the brains behind CDS. Operating out of an industrial space by
the Auburn Municipal Airport, Arnold distills, bottles and sells out of the space.
And he is self taught. He learned how to make gin from the Internet and learned
from knowledgeable distillers.
I got some excellent advice from people as I was starting up, Arnold said.
It took five years to get where he is now. The first two years was acquiring
equipment and licensing. The second phase was three years of creating lovely
gin.
6 FOOTHILL MAGAZINE

How it is made
Gin is made from juniper berries and botanicals. CDSs gin is special
in that during the process, Darjeeling tea, along with other botanicals
are housed in a compartment of the distillery. When alcohol vapor
comes up into this chamber, it extracts the oils of the botanicals.
Thats why the flavor (of the gin) is so long, Arnold said.
Darjeeling tea comes from a region in India in the foothills of the
Himalayas at the 8,000-foot elevation level. Its considered one the
great teas.
Continued on page 8
APRIL 2017 7

The gin has a flowery flavor, but its not perfumey. It is quite good all
on its own and this writer thinks there is no need to water it down with
ice or tonic.
It is floral, soft, delicate more nuanced, Arnold said.
Other spirits
Gin, however, isnt all that CDS produces. Arnold has made pear bran-
dy bourbon and is currently in the process of making whiskey which is
currently aging in barrels, waiting for peak flavor.
To make the whiskey, Arnold used grain mashed by Auburns Crocked
Lane Brewery. And then the magic happens.
Alcohol is created by those lovely yeast animals in there marvelous
creatures, he said.
The whiskey tastes young, but it has only been aging for a couple
years. Maturity should bring out deep flavors.
Back to gin
Every 10 days, 130 bottles of Darjeeling Gin is packaged at CDS.
Production is not a limiting factor sales is, Arnold said. Id like to
get that up.
The gin is available in many retail stores in the area, including: Total
Wine, Save Mart, Whole Foods, Corti Bros., Taylors Market and Grocery
Outlet. Check the companys website for all distributors.
Customers can save a few dollars and go directly to CDS, and perhaps
squeeze in a tasting as well.
Background
Arnold has spent years working mostly with orthotics and prosthetics
until 2003. Following that, he worked for HP doing medicative work until
about 2012.
And then, I left to do something much more fun, he said.
Arnold has been an Auburn resident for decades. His children were
born at Auburn Faith Hospital and went to Sky Ridge Elementary, E.V.
Cain and Placer High School.
Auburn is beautiful. It has a lot of things going for it. The weather is
nice. The location is good, he said. I appreciate both the great art and

NUTRITIONAL PROFILE OF ARUGULA
According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, two cups of arugula (about 40 grams)
contains approximately 10 calories.
Arugula also contains 1 gram of protein, 0.3 grams of fat, and 1.5 grams of carbohydrate
(including 0.6 grams of fiber and 0.8 grams of sugar).
Consuming 2 cups of arugula will provide 20 percent of vitamin A, more than 50 percent of vitamin K,
and 8 percent of vitamin C, folate, and calcium needs for the day.
Arugula ranks among the top 20 foods in regards to ANDI score (Aggregate Nutrient Density Index).
The ANDI score measures vitamin, mineral, and phytonutrient content in relation to caloric content.
To earn a high rank, a food must provide a high amount of nutrients for a small amount of calories.

To further avoid the problem, they replant it in an-

other area of the garden after each growing season.
This years heavy rains have impacted planting at the
farm, including overflow from a creek on the property.
The next crop of arugula will go in at the end of April.
This year we finished harvesting in January,
Bollinger said. Were starting seeds right now. Weve
got carrots germinating in the ground. The first things
in the ground as far as transplants will be kale, broccoli
and cabbage toward the end of March.
Patrick Bollinger grew up in Meadow Vista. Diane is
from El Dorado Hills. Farming was not always his cho-
sen field. Then in 2006, he hiked the Pacific Crest Trail
from Mexico to the Canadian border. Along the way he
became friends with several hikers who operated small
farms.
After visiting a couple of the friends, the couple de-
cided to test the waters for farming. They spent three
summers learning the business as interns at Mountain
Bounty CSA farm in the Nevada City area. They decided
they liked it and moved to Foothill Roots Farm in fall
2012.
The Bollingers lease the land from a family that
homesteaded the property in 1852. A log cabin dating
from the 1800s still stands.
As farmers, the couples focus is providing a diverse
selection of produce for their CSA customers.

BREAKFAST SALAD
Salad can very well be a breakfast meal. In fact, it is suggested to eat
breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. This
salad is a breakfast meant for a king. Eating first thing in the morn-
ing makes me feel amazing and healthy for the duration of the day. A
granola bar just doesnt seem to cut it. Greens are great for getting
your body to wake-up! Top with bacon, avocado and a fried egg for a
delicious savory jump start to the day. Avocado is a great ingredient
that will aid in keeping that full satisfied feeling until lunch time. Keep
the egg yoke soft to work as a dressing.

GRASS VALLEY
A coffee and a book

SIERRA MOUNTAIN COFFEE EXPANDS ITS INFLUENCE
WRITTEN AND PHOTOS BY NOELLE KONRAD
Immerse yourself into the forest-like

atmosphere of the foothills with a
good book and a great brew without
stepping out into the actual great out-
doors. How can this be done, you ask?
Walk inside Sierra Mountain Caf and
Bakery and the answer will become
instantly clear.
Owner Sandy Frizzell spent 32 years

working as a forester for the state of
California and coupled her love of the
outdoors and obsession for coffee.
When asked why she left her previ-

ous occupation to manage her own
bakery and caf Frizzell answer was, I
may have lost my mind on that day.
Despite the risk it took, she followed
her instincts and launched her own
business with little snippets of her
personality that can be detected from
her choice of dcor.
The ambiance of this eclectic caf is

unique to say the least. An accumula-
tion of woodland creatures and circus
accents are imprinted on a mural that
will soon grow to cover over half of
the venue. The remainder of the store
is brimming with bookshelves that
extend from the ceiling to the floor.

Justin Docherty
Witness of miracles
STORY AND PHOTOS BY NOELLE KONRAD
I know what it is like to be homeless as a young

adult and I know what its like to be homeless as
a child with your family as well. Its a very painful
process, Lieutenant Justin Docherty said, of the
Auburn Corp Salvation Army. One of my biggest
rewards is knowing that we avert that.
At 18 years old, Docherty found himself in a very

dark place. He was sleeping in the park on the
streets of London when he finally sought out an
outreach worker of the Salvation Army. He was
then placed in emergency shelters in downtown
London and shortly after was welcomed into
the program for young homeless men.
They provided for me space to be wound-

ed, space to find healing, space to get
skills and guidance, and space to meet
Jesus, Docherty said. Thats the best
thing of all.
Docherty said he took solace in a

passage in the Bible book of Mat-
thew that reads, Come to me, all
you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.
At the time he interpreted the

scripture as making a deal with
Jesus. He decided to give it a
try and lay down his burdens in
hopes that he would receive rest
in return.

through 1976. The original sign from the fish market now hangs
on the gallerys front door displaying a young Japanese woman in

family who also owned Victory Market next-door and eventually
began Bel Air markets in 1955.

COLFAX Do you have a history of theater production?
Anastazia and I possess 40-plus combined years of live event produc-
tion experience, both managing our own productions and working
with regional and national production companies. We are also closely
connected to a network of concert and festival producers and will be
One-on-one with leveraging these relationships in developing and promoting program-

ming for the theater.
Colfax Theatre How old is the theater?

The theater originally opened in 1939, with restorations completed in
1989 by Wendell Jacob.
How many square feet is the theater?

BY CAROL PERCY PHOTOS BY JEANETTE REYNOLDS
The building is 3,700-square feet. This includes the theater, lobby and
concessions, and storage.
How many seats does it have?

The theater has 160 seats, divided between the orchestra and mezzanine
areas.
What are unique aspects of the building?

The Colfax Theatre is unique in that it is a movie theater with a perfor-
mance stage plus enough theatrical lighting to do small-stage presenta-
tions. The seating is sloped for excellent viewing lines and the acoustics
are excellent. The theater is ADA-accessible, with special seating for
wheelchair users. The theater is also equipped with Dolby Digital sur-
round sound.
What kind of events and productions do you have planned?

We will be operating The Colfax Theatre as a historical venue for film,
theater, multidisciplinary art, dance performances, live music and
community events. There will be a wide range of cultural offerings, ap-
pealing to every age and demographic. We will also be offering classes,
workshops and intensives in a wide array of performing and fine art
modalities.
Why did you buy the theater? 24

For years, both as individual artists and while running our performance
ensemble Bad Unkl Sista (BadUnklSista.com), we have relied on festival
promoters, tour organizers and gallery curators to offer performance
opportunities. We wanted a space where we could present our work as
