hat’s what you think sommeliers might say.

They do, but that’s not all. When I met the impressive group of experts for this month's cover shoot, it was non-stop laughs. These aficionados are affable, approachable and absolutely affectionate. Eric S. Crane helped me corral the group.

He is the Director of Training and Business Development for Empire Distributors, Inc. and has achieved the title of Certified Wine Educator from the Society of Wine Educators and the title of Advanced Sommelier from the Court of Master Sommeliers. Eric also serves on the Board of Directors for the Guild of Sommelier’s Education Foundation.

As Empire’s Director of Training, he regularly teaches classes on wine and spirits to his company as well as to the public. Actually, he’ll talk about this stuff to pretty much anyone who will listen. And, I’d listen to that guy all day. We shot at the gorgeous Atlas Restaurant at the St. Regis, where Caleb Hopkins holds court. He is studying for his advanced sommelier exam, the third of four rather treacherous and arduous levels toward the Master Sommelier Diploma, an honor only two in Georgia have reached, 147 in the Americas chapter since the organization’s inception. We're lucky to have so much knowledge here in Buckhead and Brookhaven. Search out one of these experts on your next night out and tell them we sent you in for a knock-knock joke. And a glass of something special.

There will be plenty to sip and savor at Polo in the Pines, October 8 and 9, benefitting CURE Childhood Cancer’s work, honoring Lacey JoLynn Johnson and Matthew Willis.

We're thrilled to be a partner in Saturday’s matches and a silent auction punctuated with craft cocktails and cuisine from our favorite restaurants. For Sunday’s new Atlanta Polo Brunch Festival, the ponies will be back, with bloody marys, the best brunch bites and more fun at the Atlanta Regional Polo grounds. Executive Chef Ian Winslade of Morningside Kitchen and Murphy's promises to wow us and our generous friends at Tito's and Four Roses Bourbon have saddled up, too. Tickets, times and directions at PoloInThePines.com. See you for some divot stomping!

orthside is dedicated to the enrichment of the communities they serve. Each year, a growing number of individuals, schools and area businesses support Northside through generous gifts of time, talent and treasure to the hospital’s Foundation. While primarily a fundraising organization, the Northside Hospital Foundation also has a strong commitment to building stronger and healthier communities through volunteerism and outreach.

Last year, nearly 4,000 Northside volunteers donated more than 30,000 hours of their time to community service projects throughout the hospital’s service areas.

Employees, physicians, Auxilians and their families and friends are connected to local volunteer opportunities – organized walks, rides and runs; collection drives for the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Children’s Restoration Network and Partnership Against Domestic Violence; and other service projects such playing Bingo with local seniors.

Financially, the Foundation hosts giving campaigns, community events, and other activities throughout the year to raise money to support essential initiatives of Northside Hospital such as

In the Southeast, no other community hospital diagnoses and treats more cases of breast cancer than the Northside Hospital Cancer Institute. In 2015, grants from It’s The Journey, Susan G. Komen and Georgia CORE enabled Northside to fund screening mammograms and other breast procedures for 776 women who couldn’t afford them.

Northside Hospital is one of the most respected health care organizations in the Southeast and has a decades-long commitment to balancing clinical excellence with compassionate care. That commitment holds true today.

treats the most cancer cases in Georgia, and is among the state’s top providers of surgical services. More than 2,500 physicians and 14,000 employees provide medical services for nearly 2 million patient visits each year.

In 2016, Northside ranked No. 18 (out of 500) on Forbes America’s Best Large Employers survey. The hospital also ranked No. 1 in Georgia, ahead of 14 other Georgia-based companies, and was named the Southeast’s top health care employer. The group is experiencing tremendous growth.

Expansion and construction projects are underway or in design phase at six of Northside’s campuses. The goal? To provide greater patient access to quality medical care. The new Northside HospitalCherokee is on schedule for a 2017 opening. Drivers along I-575 in Canton can see the spectacular main building rising on a beautiful hilltop. This health care campus will initially include the hospital and a medical office building, a distinctive women’s center, cancer center, and 900 parking spaces.

Northside Hospital-Forsyth has undergone near-continuous expansion since being acquired in 2002. This year the hospital has added three additional floors to better serve the burgeoning North Fulton / Forsyth region. The new construction brings the hospital’s inpatient bed count to 247 (currently 231) and the total number of beds, including observation, to 325.

Northside’s newest medical campus is being developed in East Cobb. The 100,000-square-foot Northside East Cobb Medical Center, located at Johnson Ferry Road and Olde Towne Parkway in Marietta, is expected to open in December 2016. This medical center will feature Northside physicians providing services that include imaging, primary care, urgent care and other specialties.

Other major health projects are underway that will add even more health care quality, access and diversification – look for Northside to grow in Woodstock, Sandy Springs and Midtown Atlanta. Each generous gift is greatly appreciated and tax-deductible.

wo friends and a passion for cooking and giving is where it all began.

Andrea Overstreet and Jason Bronson have been cooking Sunday dinner together for more than 10 years, skipping right to dessert for the last few years, experimenting with ice cream and everything Southern.

They started mixing and dipping in earnest for the annual Roswell ice cream social raising funds for The Drake House. Since then, they have launched a successful Midtown sidewalk cart, Southern Churn™, created bespoke flavors for corporate and private events and hosted tasting parties. Jason and Andrea have created flavors like chocolate grits, sweet tea, brown butter fried apple pecan and maple caramel bacon. “We have gone as far as making biscuits and gravy and chicken and waffles into ice cream,” says Jason. This fall, look for the re-releasing of Sweet Potato Soufflé, and new flavors inspired by pumpkin, bourbon and apple butter.

Wondering where you can get some? Go to SouthernChurn.com or Facebook.com/SouthernChurn for events and locations.

“ I didn’t start cooking until I moved from the midwest to Atlanta 11 years ago as a poor college student. Andrea taught me how to think like a Southern cook and I discovered a real passion for cooking

(but didn’t want to make a career out of it.) I just like to eat really good food. I

have worked as a web developer for the past 8 years at Carter’s Inc at Phipps

Tower. I love working at Carter’s but my husband, David Goodrowe, has pushed

me to start Southern Churn after seeing the response to our ice cream at the annual ice cream social for The Drake House.”

“ I started cooking at my

Grandma’s country house in

Virginia. I would stay up all

night with Miss Agnes to cook Christmas breakfast, nothing

short of a feast. Food brought

my family together and cooking

inspired me to keep traditions

going in my family. I moved to

Atlanta 11 years ago to study art

direction in advertising at The Creative

Circus and now work at J.Walter Thompson

in Buckhead as an art director. I have had my hand in a lot of the Marines ads you see.”

When we met this elite group of affable Atlanta sommeliers at the St. Regis’ elegant Atlas Restaurant, they only stopped cavorting when a bottle of Aubry champagne was popped to toast to our morning together and to their continued success with the Court of Master Sommeliers. The Court honors four levels of examinations, leading to the grand dame, Master Sommelier, a designation earned by only 147 Americans (two in Georgia).

rban Tree Cidery has planted itself in West Midtown and branches out over 4,500 square feet of unique space that includes Atlanta’s first cider manufacturing facility, a tasting room called “the Cidery,” and an event space. A family owned and operated business, Urban Tree Cidery opened its doors in March of this year. It was founded by Tim and Maria Resuta.

“Urban Tree Cidery is a passion project that branches into our family tree,” says Tim, co-founder and head cider maker as well as orchard manager. “My wife, her sister, Jackie, and our three children are all involved in the growth of our business.” Residents of the Chastain Park neighborhood, the Resuta family has been rooted and growing in Atlanta since 2003. Tim’s dental practice is a family general and cosmetic dentistry practice on Howell Mill Road in Buckhead. Tim and Maria have two daughters and a son. Ali is a 2015 graduate of The Westminster Schools and currently attends the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at ASU. Sixteen-year old

Urban Tree Cidery produces three flagship ciders Classic a semi sweet cider that is both crisp and refreshing.

Brianna is a junior at The Westminster Schools and their 14-year-old-son is a freshman at Woodward Academy.

Inspired by their experiences and enjoyment of California wine country, Maria and Tim, both avid wine and cider enthusiasts, turned their attention to the possibilities within the North Georgia Mountains. “Tim and I were elated to discover that this major apple growing region was known for producing fruit of exquisite quality, f lavor, texture, color and shape in our very own backyard,” says Maria, co-founder and CEO. “I can honestly say that this is when the idea for Urban Tree Cidery was born.” And from this point, both Maria and Tim began extensive training in the production of handcrafted, artisan cider. Studying at the Cider and Perry Academy in Gloucestershire, England, they received the finest and most respected cider training in the industry.

the Resutas are able to use only the finest varietals in their ciders. The orchard produces over 3,000 bushels a season, making full use of the 15-acres and 1,300 trees. Urban Tree’s ciders are created from a mixture of Yates, Stayman- Winesap, Grimes, Gala and Ozark Gold apples.

Urban Tree Cidery produces three f lagship ciders: a Classic, which is a semi sweet cider that is both crisp and refreshing; an Original, which is a European style semi dry cider crafted with the hearty subtle notes of apple sweetness; and a Barrel-Aged, which is robust with hints of oaky vanilla aromas gained from time spent in Nicaraguan rum barrels.

Seasonal and Artisanal Reserve varieties are also available to capture the season and currently include Ginger Habanera and Wild Buzz.

Urban Tree Cidery is dedicated to fortifying the roots of good taste -- it is their mission. They strive to produce ciders that ref lect the beauty of the apple, the character of the land where they are grown, and the creative blending techniques that result in a delicate balance of subtle complexities.

The Cidery tasting room hours are Wednesday and Thursday from 5:30 until 9 p.m.; Saturday from noon until 4 p.m.; and Sunday from 1 until 5 p.m. The entire facility will accommodate approximately 300 people and is designed for cider tastings, tours and special events.

Parting Thoughts

Opening Eyes ARTICLE NICOLE HUNNICUTT | PHOTOGRAPHY AHARON HILL PHOTOGRAPHY

B

rookhaven residents John and Leslie Tarbutton say that one tour and training session at the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy (GCCA) was all it took to open their eyes to the realities of child abuse and the important work the GCCA does to prevent it.

A leader at Slalom Consulting, located in the heart of Buckhead, Johns says, “Leslie and I have three small children, and becoming more involved with the GCCA has taught us that it’s often the situations that we least expect and feel most comfortable with that may introduce opportunities for abuse. The good news is, those opportunities can also be easily avoided with basic preventative steps.”

The mission of the GCCA is to champion the needs of sexually and physically abused children through prevention, intervention, therapy and collaboration. With centers and staff in both Fulton and DeKalb counties, the Center has served more than 15,000 children in those counties since 1987 who have been sexually or physically abused or have witnessed violence. These services are provided at no cost to the families. The GCCA also leads the nation in its comprehensive prevention training and programs.

In 2006, the GCCA partnered with nonprofit Darkness to Light to introduce their Stewards of Children sexual abuse prevention training to communities in Georgia. Stewards of Children is the only adult-focused, evidence-informed curriculum proven to increase knowledge, change attitudes about child sexual abuse and change behaviors that promote protective measures.

“The GCCA is leading a statewide, coordinated effort to bring the Stewards of Children program to every county and city,” says John.

“Real progress is being made to make child sexual abuse prevention part of our culture and not a taboo subject. I encourage anyone who has children or works with children to experience this program.”

42

BuckHavenLifestyle.com | October 2016

Prevention training and tours of the Center are ongoing throughout the year. Fall dates are coming up October 26 at the DeKalb Center (1950 West Exchange Place in Tucker) and November 16 at the Fulton location (1485 Woodland Ave. SE in Atlanta). To reserve a spot for training, email SandyC@gacfca.org.

John adds, “I have volunteered for various events and organizations in the past that I have found really rewarding, but after getting a chance to take a tour of the GCCA facility, I felt compelled to become more involved. They walk you through a mock abuse scenario and some typical realities about how a victim and their family may arrive at the Center and then how they are supported through intervention, therapy and prevention.

It’s powerful stuff.”

John is also a committee chair for the 2016 Cheer for Children Ball.

The largest fundraising gala for the GCCA, this gala brings together the Atlanta community to raise money and awareness and help make a direct impact on the lives of children affected by abuse in our city.

The American Culinary Federation, Greater Atlanta Chapter provides a delectable array of top chef sensations and top shelf creations. Attendees also enjoy live music by The Papa-Sol Band and exciting silent and live auctions with bidding opportunities on destination packages, resort weekends and local getaways.

This year's black tie-optional event--themed "Gatsby: Stepping Back in Time to Make a Better Future for Children"--will be held on Friday, October 7, at 7:30 p.m. at the Foundry at Puritan Mill (916 Joseph E. Lowery Blvd). Tickets are $150 per person. Tables and sponsorship opportunities are available from $500-$25,000. Visit CheerForChildren.org for tickets and more information.
