The pandemic has been challenging for many businesses; have you been able to adjust?

How do you account for the popularity of specialized whiskies?

It has something to do with a maturing of tastes. As people mature, they start to look for products that have a history and a culture behind them. Whiskey culture is a fascinating world, and I have gone to great lengths to become an expert in the field. People with an interest in whiskey would be interested to know that I have been inducted into the Keeper of the Quaich Society in Scotland, one of whisky’s highest honors. I also started a group for aficionados known as the Loch and Key Society. Those interested should visit our website at www.lochandkey.com.

Since purchasing the business, I’ve had a vision to create something that is so much more than a retail store. I view the store as a venue to provide education, build relationships and create a culture around the products we carry. People don’t realize that we are one of the leading liquor retailers in the nation and much of that is due to the way we connect with our customers and vendors.

Absolutely not. We have created a series of hybrid events that allow people to participate either in person (with limited attendance) or remotely…whatever works best for their personal comfort level. To be informed of our events, customers can sign up for our newsletter at www.juliosliquors.com or download our Julios Liquors app.

Honestly, we were able to pivot almost immediately and customers were grateful for our response. We were able to accommodate patrons regardless of their comfort level with the health crisis… for those who wanted touch-free options, we offered curbside pick-up and even home delivery. For those who were comfortable shopping in-store, we enacted customer-friendly ways to adhere to all CDC and state recommendations.

Julio’s is really known as a regional destination … how did you become a leader?

I never stop marketing the store and exposing it to new markets. In 2018, I was recognized by the industry magazine, Market Watch as the “Marketer of the Year” and in 2019, we were named a Whisky icon store by Whisky Magazine as the best single location Whisky Store in the country. But beyond that, I am passionate about the culture we have created and I plan to keep building on it...it’s not unusual for us to get a large number of people visiting us weekly from adjoining states or even hundreds of miles away. I always want people to realize what a true “destination store” they have right in their own back yard.

Jim has crew members that have worked beside him for almost 16 years. His crew knows what Jim expects from them and they strive for the best.

Why I chose these areas of law to specialize in: Initially, I chose estate planning since I liked the area of law, the hours were flexible, and I could see clients in the evening after my children had gone to bed. I continued to specialize in this area after my children had grown not only because I liked it, but also because I saw a need.

For many years I taught a course at Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School in Marlborough, “Estate, Financial and Retirement Planning for Women.” Too often women are not knowledgeable in these topic areas, and I want to educate them so they can comfortably participate in their own decisions.

The Golf Teaching Center is located adjacent to the Riverside Course.

Northborough – Conveniently located in central Massachusetts, Juniper Hill Golf Course offers 36 holes of golf on two challenging courses — Riverside and Lakeside. The Riverside Course, opened in 1931, is best described as sporty, interesting and picturesque as the Assabet River winds its way through the course, providing a beautiful setting. The Lakeside Course, opened in 1991, is a challenging Carolina-style course that takes full advantage of its New England setting.

Juniper Hill Golf Course is located at 202 Brigham St. in Northborough. For more information, visit www. juniperhillgc.com or call 508-393-2444.

I believe that I am the type of attorney who will take the time to explain things to my clients, so they understand their estate plan and also understand what their estate planning documents say before they sign them. I approach each client with compassion as well. Many people are afraid to do a Will, thinking that it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Those clients need extra patience, understanding and time.

Media: In recent years I did a show for Westborough TV called “Law For Your Life,” which covered a variety of topics including estate planning and a series, “Moving Mom,” in which I detailed the process of moving my mom from out-of-state into a local assisted living residence.

considering estate planning, the documents that everyone needs at a minimum are a Will, a Power of Attorney, and a Health Care Proxy. Most people don’t know that a Power of Attorney names someone to manage your finances if you cannot do so and that it ends when you die. It is a very powerful document. If a person has minor children, then they will also need some type of Trust to go along with the Will since minors cannot be in control of their own money.
