Sacramento Tastemakers

Here are a few of our favorite people of Sacramento. These are the people that work behind the scenes and in front of them to make our city so great.

Brooke Rothchild

With my love of all things design and food, it was only natural for me to start a blog. I want to share with others my adventures as I travel, eat, read, photograph, and discover my way through Sacramento. As a Realtor, it’s important to me to know what’s happening in my community. And why not share that with you?
