ONE OF A KIND CRAFTSMANSHIP
Welcome to our Precious Summer
Since we covered a lot for the ladies last month, June marks our annual Gentlemen’s Issue, and we packed this one with a bunch of fun to check out.
Men are fathers, brothers, mentors, friends, and partners. They serve in every role imaginable from teachers shaping young minds, doctors saving and changing lives, builders creating the physical world around us, and community leaders driving change. Contributing to advancements in sci ence, the arts, politics, social justice, and so much more. Every day, the men we see harbor strength, responsibility, sacrifice, love, and help to anchor families and communities. I personally see these contributions every day through work, my own family, friends, and through simple interactions in the neighborhood. This month’s content can obviously be enjoyed by all and hopefully sparks some new ideas to check out.
The Minneapolis community loves our city lakes, but adventure awaits on the river too. If you’re in the mood to change things up with a Father’s Day brunch or an evening with friends, Paradise Charter Cruises has several options to get outside and feel the wind in your hair. They offer cruises out of the Bohemian Flats and the port of Excelsior. From Taco Tuesday to a Happy Hour jaunt, you’ll have a variety of fun.
With so many choices and manufacturers moving towards electric, we shed some light on the all new 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid. Perfect for family and Minnesota winters, this vehicle provides off-road capability, reduced emissions, and up to 40% better mileage driving in the city. If you’re thinking of making a change, it might be worth checking out.
Plan to hit the greens and swing the club this summer? Consider workout secrets from a pro. Scott Stallings reveals what he does behind the scenes to make sure he’s at the top of his game.
Lastly, with so many shows pointing to life out west, we have included a brief idea on how you too can head out into the sunset with some of the best and most affordable bourbons for you and your crew.
Gentlemen, I hope you enjoy this fabulous season!

Ask Susan
Dear Susan: My heart wants a cabin and boat. My head wants a college fund for 3 kids. Can you break the tie?
Susan:
No one is saying you can’t have both, but big purchases must start with a clear budget. Trust your head with your kid’s future and consistently put money into a tax-advantaged 529 plan for their college fund. Once that’s on track, evaluate what’s left for discretionary spending. Consider whether a boat or cabin enhances your family’s life enough to justify the cost. You might rent first to test the impact before committing. Remember, life enjoyment matters too—if the purchase strengthens family bonds and provides lasting memories, that’s also a return on investment. Just avoid compromising future needs. A balance of smart saving and meaningful spending is the key to a happy head and heart. For a deeper conversation on this topic click the QR code below.

EXPLORE THE SUMMER OFFERINGS FROM PARADISE CHARTER CRUISES
Ready, Set, Sail
ARTICLE BY SARAH KNIEFF | PHOTOGRAPHY BY PARADISE CHARTER CRUISES
“Paradise Charter invites travelers this summer to embark on unforgettable journeys across two stunning Minnesota waterways.”
Paradise Charter Cruises invites travelers this summer to embark on unforgettable journeys across two stunning Minnesota waterways: the majestic Mississippi River and the scenic Lake Minnetonka. Guests can select from an array of curated cruise experiences, each available on either route, offering spectacular views and unique amenities. Whether drifting along the expansive Mississippi or relaxing on the tranquil lake waters,, every cruise promises exceptional sights and memorable moments.
TWO ICONIC ROUTES
Departing from Bohemian Flats Park, the Mississippi River cruises navigate the largest river system in North America right from its Minnesota origin. This route immerses passengers in breathtaking landscapes, including the southern trails of the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway, the U of M Campus riverfront, and iconic landmarks such as the 35W Bridge, St. Anthony Falls, and the historic Stone Arch Bridge. Travelers also enjoy stunning downtown Minneapolis skyline views as the boat journeys through the lower St. Anthony Falls Lock system.
On the other hand, departures from the Port of Excelsior lead guests onto the vast and serene waters of Lake Minnetonka. Named from the Sioux “Minne” (water) and “Tonka” (big/great), this lake offers picturesque scenery combined with engaging narration that reveals the rich history and charming stories behind the area.
Both routes provide full service cash bars and casual snack options, enhancing the cruising experience. Note that cruise routes may adjust due to weather and waterway schedules.
PUBLIC CRUISES
Paradise Charter Cruises’ summer lineup offers something for every kind of traveler eager to explore Minnesota’s finest waterways in style and comfort. Whether seeking relaxation, celebration, or adventure, the perfect cruise awaits.
AFTERNOON SIGHTSEEING
For a leisurely entry into the wonders of either the Mississippi or Minnetonka Lake, the Afternoon Sightseeing provides narrated tours at just $25 per person, with children under two admitted free. “Passengers can relax while gaining insight into local landmarks and natural beauty,” Dave Lawrance, owner of Paradise Charter Cruises, adds. Concessions such as corn dogs, chips, and drinks are available onboard. This cruise runs daily in the summer months.
SUNDAY BRUNCH
Celebrate the weekend with the Sunday Brunch Cruise at $49 per person. Guests indulge in the Captain’s curated brunch menu, featuring generous portions and full bar service. This cruise embodies a delightful way to spend a leisurely Sunday, basking in both excellent food and beautiful surroundings.
SUNDAY CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE
Every Sunday from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, guests can enjoy a classic American meal on the water for $45 per person. Featuring a customizable 1/3 lb hamburger paired with garden and potato salads, chips, and full bar service with drink specials, this cruise blends culinary delight with stunning waterfront ambiance.
MARGARITA FIESTA
Mondays offer the perfect escape with the Margarita Fiesta Cruise at $45 per person. Passengers are encouraged to gather friends and savor a build-your-own burrito buffet complemented by refreshing margaritas and a full cash bar. “This festive cruise brings lively flavors and vibrant energy to either route’s serene waters,” Dave says.
TACO TUESDAY
Turn up the heat on Tuesday evenings aboard the Taco Tuesday Cruise. For $45 per person, guests enjoy an exciting “south of the border” adventure, paired with a build-your-own taco bar and drink specials. Full bar service ensures a festive atmosphere as passengers relish great food and scenic views.
“Whether seeking relaxation, celebration, or adventure, the perfect cruise awaits.” “ ”
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY HAPPY HOUR PIZZA
Arguably the most popular offering, these cruises run midweek for $45 per person and feature narrated tours alongside a pizza and salad buffet. Happy hour drink specials with full bar availability make for a relaxed yet lively experience on board, ideal for winding down during the week while enjoying spectacular waterway views.
DINNER CRUISE
Priced at $59 per person, the Dinner Cruise is perfect for special occasions or treating oneself to an elegant evening afloat. “This experience offers a romantic ambiance and gourmet dining, coupled with the captivating water sights, providing an unforgettable night,” Dave says. See Paradise Charter’s website for available dates.
PRIVATE CHARTERS
Beyond public cruises, Paradise Charter Cruises offers private charters departing from either location, customized to fit a wide range of celebrations and events. “From birthday parties, anniversaries, and retirements to wedding ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, and receptions with onboard dancing, our versatile fleet caters to groups of all sizes,” Dave says. Corporate clients can also utilize the vessels for team-building activities, client entertainment, or casual staff dinners—providing a unique setting to connect and celebrate.

SCOTT STALLINGS’ WORKOUT
Like many impressionable kids with giddy enthusiasm for their favorite sport, Scott Stallings discovered his interest for golf at the young age of 3.
But it was the “aha moment” for his LOVE of the game that came in 1997 when Tiger Woods won the Masters and would forever change the entire landscape of the industry, as well as what Stallings would aspire to achieve in his future professional endeavors.
Upon realizing “that Woods wasn’t that much older than him,’’ Scott set himself into overdrive to “get it together” and tapped into his natural drive to be one of the best.
He trained his way through achieving allstate golfer and Dean’s List status in high school. He was a seven-time tournament winner and was an All-American while attending Tennessee Tech, and he has won on the PGA Tour three times as a professional golfer.
In 2016 he learned he had been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea and acute adrenal fatigue. It was a result of some unhealthy nutritional habits, both of which affected his ability to continue effectively as a professional athlete.
“ GOLF IS A GRIND, BUT DON’T LET PHYSICALITY GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR GAME .”
With the guidance of doctors, surgeons, and his good friend Rich Froning, a four-time Crossfit champion, Scott developed a workout to trim 60 pounds, boasting 10% body fat, revising his daily eating habits, and sleeping healthily through the night.
“I came to the realization that it was no one’s fault but my own. The excuses and finger pointing led back to me, and once you take ownership, you take power in that,” Scott says.
“The voice within gave me some scary realizations that I always hated the doctor, and that they would tell me something was wrong. I learned a little information goes a long way, and that saved my health. Make one change today, and make another one tomorrow, and you’ll never look back.”
Had Scott not gone to the doctor because of that innate fear, he never would have known the diagnosis of sleep apnea that needed to be addressed.
“You only get one body,” he says.
Luckily for Scott, he didn’t have an overwhelming, crazy life overhaul. Instead, he was able to find one small thing, delivering simple systematic changes in his workout that led to his improvement in fitness and quality of life.
He still was driven to be one the best PGA Tour players and the best family guy he could be, and he would do all of the discovery, the surgeries, and the daily changes all over again to continue living his best life.
“I legitimately have some great people push me and stay around me,” Scott says.
Scott has traveled the world over, playing on some of the best courses around, from Augusta National twice, to courses across Asia, Europe, Australia, and the hope to cross the Middle East and more stunning destinations in New Zealand off his global travel list. His next “bucket list” trip?
Today, Scott happily shares healthy time with his wife and kids and is leading up The Scott Stallings Kids Play Free Junior Golf Initiative, a partnership with the Tennessee Golf Foundation to bring free junior golf to the Knoxville area.
THE WORKOUT BASICS :
KETTLEBELLS
Cast iron or cast steel ball with a handle attached to the top; ideal for exercises that combine cardio, strength and flexibility training.
BARS AND WEIGHTS
A long iron bar on which weight plates are placed. Weights come in a variety of styles, including weight plates, barbells and dumbbells.
DUMBBELLS
Short barbells, usually held in each hand
MEDICINE BALLS
Weighted balls roughly the diameter of the shoulders that are used for strength training and rehabilitation
STALLINGS’ PRIMARY EQUIPMENT: HIS TOP EXERCISES:
KETTLEBELL POWER SNATCH:
Uses ground force to leverage the kettlebell upward, then the shoulder, arm and back support the weight as it gets pushed overhead. Also a great cardio exercise and trains the body for a good golf swing.
KETTLEBELL HALO:
Start by holding the kettlebell upside down at chest height, then lift the weight to head height and rotate it around the head like a halo in both directions. This exercise focuses on shoulder mobility— which is important for a good golf swing— and warms up the muscles and soft tissue around the shoulder girdle.
CLEAN TO LUNGE:
First, the kettlebell is lifted from the ground to shoulder height. Then, the foward lunge loads weight into the legs one at a time, which happens from the backswing to the downswing. The exercise increases strength in calves and forearms, which is essential for a powerful swing.
SO YOU WANT TO BE A COWBOY
DISCOVER THE WHIMSY OF THE WEST AT PAWS UP MONTANA
Favorably referred to as the “Last Best Place” and the “Treasure State,” Montana has captured the hearts of cinematic cowboys like Taylor Sheridan and Harrison Ford and inspired the television series, “Yellowstone” and its prequels, “1883” and “1923.”
Though fictional, they’ve reminded America of its deeply-rooted spirit for adventure and the simple yet rugged way of life that we all crave. Whether its the backdrop of jagged, snowcapped peaks or the endless golden pastures that are peppered with livestock, this Rocky Mountain soil is a breeding ground for dreamers and doers, and the people who call it home are no strangers to the ritual of ranch life. So, you want to be a cowboy? Slipping on some leather and having a little hide in your hat are good ways to start, but visiting a resort that brings the best of this life to the forefront, while also embracing modern luxury, is the experience of a lifetime. Paws Up Montana sprawls the distance of 37,000 private acres of historic estate-land, which houses a working ranch and 10 miles of Blackfoot river. Personalization is key—a divine selection of cuisine for the foodies, awe-inspiring activities for the adrenaline seekers, and world-class lodging that tickles every fancy from stargazing glamping, to timber-style family dwellings, to the uniquely designed green “o hauses” that invite the outside world in.

WHAT TO DO
To change your attitude, you need a change in altitude. Gain some speed or turn up the adrenaline level with ATV tours, electric biking, mountain biking, go-karts, paintball, rappelling down Lookout Rock or whitewater rafting down the Blackfoot River. Indulge in the western art of living with archery, fly-fishing, hiking or sporting clays. For those who want to immerse themselves in the language of horses, there are horse-related adventures such as lessons, grooming or feeding, horse-whispering workshops or organized trails rides. Riders can also enjoy cattle drives that bring you back to yesteryear—driving a herd of cattle across the famed landscape— and bear witness to mustang gentling, where the Equestrian Manager communicates with a wild horse through body language and tone of voice. Skyline Aerial Adventure Park is another notable warm-weather activity, taking guests on two high-ropes courses.
DRINK & DINE
Montana’s best kept secret? Our hideaway chefs, making waves from the Montana wilderness. Chef Brandon Cunningham, Executive Chef at the Green O, is a James Beard Award finalist whose creations at the Social Haus are highly curated through an 8-course tasting menu. Other highly trained and talented chefs like Chef Brett Edlund, Chef Ben Scott, Executive Pastry Chef Krystle Swenson, and Sunny Jin, the General Manager of Food and Beverage, are part of the intricate patchwork of the culinary experience at Pomp, Trough, Shed, Camp and the notable Chuck Wagon—a summertime treat where guests can ride a hay wagon along the banks of the Blackfoot River for an Old West-inspired chuck wagon dinner. The menu ranges from all-natural chicken and Tomahawk ribeye to fresh vegetables grilled over an open flame campfire.

WHERE TO STAY
Luxury Homes are categorized into preference-based properties that boast the thrill of wilderness living. For larger families and multigenerational groups, consider the Wilderness Estates. At 3,250-square-feet, these estates sleep up to eight guests and feature three large suites with private baths. The Big Timber Homes are available in one-to-three bedroom options and come ornamented with fire places and private decks. The Meadow Homes are 1,100-square-foot single-story homes that sleep up to four guests, situated amid a pastoral and treed setting. For an extra nod of perfection, choose one of the luxury homes that comes equipped with a private tent— ideal for anyone traveling with children (or adults who beckon back their childhood!).
For a more primitive experience, Glamping Homes offer the right amount of canvas to create a close-to-nature experience. Available mid-May through mid-October, choose from river settings to creeksides, bluffs or cliffs. Each tent is adorned with something unique—a copper tub, a picturesque view of Lewis and Clark’s famous Lookout Rock and Western-chic furniture throughout. Zip down the windows to allow for the cool nightly breeze, yet enjoy the modern convenience of electricity. Each campsite has a dining pavilion. And don’t miss the s’mores boards around the communal fire pit, offered by your own s’moresologist—yes, you read that right, and yea, it’s a thing.
Lastly, but certainly not least, are the state-ofthe-art accommodations of the Green O hauses. This portion of the property is completely curated for those 21 years of age and older. It’s a resort within a resort, a hidden pearl in an oyster of experience. The Tree Haus is elevated 23 feet in the air and offers unparalleled forest views. The Green Haus includes a skylight above the bed for an unmatched view of pluck-em-from-the-sky stars. The Round Haus has curved, floor-to-ceiling windows that offer 180-degree panoramic views. Both the Green and Round Hauses are dog friendly, too, so Fido can rest in the lap of luxury. The Light Haus is illuminated by skylights and unique glass design.

Our Favorite Bourbons
The “Best Bourbon” Is Truly Up To The Individual and Occasion
ARTICLE
BY ANTHONY ADAMS
We were recently asked to suggest the Best Bourbon that was affordable and as I reflected on my list of favorites, providing a single answer wasn’t as straightforward as it appeared. Think of it like this. If we asked 100 people in our community what their favorite restaurant is—the answers would be varied based on the individual’s personal palate or even the moment you asked them in!
Here is our list of favorites that will have you covered at any price point and occasion.
BLANTON’S SINGLE BARREL BOURBON
Blanton’s is recognizable on sight due to the round bottle with a brass horse and jockey for a stopper. Taken from the center-cut or middle sections of the famous Warehouse H. The taste profile is sweet, with notes of citrus and oak. The creamy vanilla nose is teased with caramel and butterscotch, all underscored by familiar baking spices such as clove, nutmeg, or cinnamon.
— BlantonsBourbon.com
BASIL HAYDEN’S RYE BOURBON –AGED 10 YEARS
In a sea of cask-strength offerings, Basil Hayden’s stays true to its 80 proof roots. The high rye content of its mash bill charges the nose and palate with notes of caraway and spice, while 10 years in the barrel have added leather and an attractive nuttiness. If you aren’t looking for high proof, this is a remarkable bourbon.
— BasilHaydens.com
PINHOOK ‘BOURBON WAR’ VERTICAL SERIES 5 YEARS
Pinhook pulls 150 barrels from a special lot to create this straight bourbon whiskey with a lively nose of butterscotch,
cinnamon stick, licorice, and vanilla. These aromas set the stage for a robust palate of cherry, chocolate, toasted brown sugar, and chicory. With the additional 5th year of age, what was tropical fruit transitions to darker fruit flavors and what was brighter candy is now rich and caramelized; hints of smoke now start to appear for the first time.
— PinhookBourbon.com
EAGLE RARE 10 YEAR
Eagle Rare 10 Year lives somewhat in the shadow of its 17-yearold elder sibling, but don’t let that shy you away. This is a sweet and mellow bourbon with definite signs of maturity and its orange peel and toffee aromas are a little shy, but the palate serves sturdy sweet and spice notes and a toasty finish.
— EagleRare.com
OLD FORESTER 86 PROOF
While others in Old Forester’s impressive lineup claim the hearts of bourbon geeks (such as the 1920 Prohibition Style), this bottle stands head and shoulders above everything at this proof and price point. It oozes aromatic charm and follows with a palate that is lithe but in no way lacking flavor.
— OldForester.com
MCAFEE’S BENCHMARK OLD NO. 8
Sometimes you find a $20 laying around or just need a good mixing bourbon. Benchmark Old No. 8 is made at the same distillery as Blanton’s and the ever-coveted Pappy Van Winkle! The nose bears caramel notes with a delicate stone-fruit backdrop. A robust and sturdy palate with some fine leather notes mingling with dry tobacco, a touch of oak, and a hint of dried cherries. The finish is smooth and calming.
