MADD IS COMING FOR YOU Drunk driving is the leading killer on our roadways and has claimed the lives of 375 people in Georgia in 2018. Every single one of those deaths is 100% preventable. In addition, driving while impaired by other drugs — legal and illegal — causes devastating and preventable tragedies. With all the options available today — rideshare apps, such as Uber or Lyft, taxis, public transportation or family and friends who have not consumed alcohol — there’s no excuse to drive while impaired. Since shelter-inplace orders began in March, MADD Georgia has continued to provide supportive services virtually to victims of drunk and drugged driving. Funds raised from the virtual LER will support MADD’s researchbased programs to end drunk and drugged driving,

ARTICLE SUE G. COLLINS | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

I MISS GOING TO FINE DINING RESTAURANTS WHERE A SERIOUS (AND WELL-DRESSED) SOMMELIER CONSIDERS EACH COURSE OF A MEAL AND POURS A BEAUTIFUL GLASS OF WINE CHOSEN JUST FOR ME. I’m dreaming of my very own wine cellar, stocked with a thoughtful, meaningful and valuable selection of red, whites and bubblies. (Instead, I maybe have a few reds in the liquor cabinet and a handful of whites in the refrigerator.)

For clients of Atlanta Custom Wine Cellar, their dreams become reality when Alex Smith and his team design and build a home wine cellar, a bespoke space for fine wines and tastings. Smith has built wine walls and cellars for traditional, modern and rustic homes around Buckhead for more than 25 years. Using the finest materials, including locally-sourced art, Atlanta Custom Wine Cellar offers consultation on room set up, custom wine storage design or complete turn-key design build wine cellaring services. We popped a cork with Alex to find out more about his business.

BH: WHEN IT COMES TO WINE CELLARING, YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE MASTERS AT DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS TO MEET THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF WINE SPACE AND WINE COLLECTION. WHAT SHOULD HOMEOWNERS LOOK FOR IN A NEW SPACE BEFORE BUILDING? AS: Making sure that the walls and perimeter of the wine cellar are properly insulated with moisture resistant materials to properly insure the longevity of your home and investment are key. Every wine space is unique , we know how to meet these needs properly and sustainably and with your wine collection in mind. We will never jeopardize your wine collection or living environment just to make a sale.

BuckHaven Lifestyle | October 2020

BH: BUILDING A WINE CELLAR REQUIRES STRICT ATTENTION TO MATERIALS TO PROTECT AND SHOWCASE THE COLLECTOR’S VALUABLE WINE. WHAT MAKES YOUR WORK SPECIAL? AS: Generally on our wine cellar builds we use materials such as mahogany, sapele, redwood or even oak. We use no secondary material like plywood or products that wouldn’t be humidity resistant. We’ve built as little as a one thousand bottle capacity up to ten thousand bottle capacity—it really depends upon the area in which we have to work as well as the client’s needs and tastes. Some have tasting tables or elaborate lighting, some don’t. We love what we do.

Our clients give us a lot of creative ideas.

BH: YOU PROVIDE TURN KEY DESIGN-BUILD WINE CELLAR INSTALLATION. YOU’RE REALLY ARTISANS! AS: We can build most anything within the parameters given by our clients. Quite often we’re given a AtlantaCustomWineCellar.com

Alma Cocina Buckhead prides itself on always changing menus to match the freshest and most desirable seasonal ingredients. Fall opens itself up to things like pumpkin, sweet potatoes, apples, pomegranates, pears, huitlacoche and more. One dish I’m excited about is our Pumpkin Chochoyotes with nixtamalized sweet potatoes, mushrooms, apples, cashew crema and huitlacoche sauce. This fully flavored vegan dish provides earthy, sweet and acidic notes. The mushrooms and huitlacoche provide the rich “meaty” flavor, whilst the other ingredients provide fun flavors and textures for your palate.

CATHERINE AND JJ JAXON OF BUCKHEAD KNEW

HOW

LIFE-CHANGING

FOOD

ALLERGIES COULD BE AFTER THEIR OLDEST DAUGHTER DEVELOPED A SEVERE NUT ALLERGY AS A BABY. But there was really good news when their third child came along in 2015, thanks to groundbreaking research that proved most peanut allergies could be prevented by starting babies on peanut foods in the first year of life. Determined to make peanut allergy prevention accessible, the Jaxons partnered with the pediatric allergist who led the research, Dr. Gideon Lack, and together they launched a new food product, Mission MightyMe Proactive Peanut Puffs. Dr. Lack’s research served as the basis for the new medical guidelines.

“We’re on a mission to help end the food allergy epidemic by making it easy and enjoyable for parents to follow the new guidelines,” says Catherine. The USDA released their 2020 Dietary Guidelines, which (for the first time) addresses infant health and recommend peanut introduction in the first year of life to help prevent peanut allergies. This is big news, and adds to the growing number of organizations (including the American Academy of Pediatrics and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) that now recommend peanut introduction in infancy to prevent peanut allergies. This study only comes out every five years and dictates what much of the country eats, serving as the cornerstone for federal nutrition programs and policies. However, despite the massive change in guidelines, there are still very few options for consumers who want to incorporate these recommendations in their children’s diets to help prevent food allergies. We sat down with Catherine,

The best part about starting a business here has been the strong community of entrepreneurs, willing to share ideas and advice, and there are also so many great organizations dedicated to supporting start-ups, like Plywood People, Switchyards and Atlanta Tech Village.
