PUBLISHER “We travel because distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. When we get home, home is still the same. But something inside our minds has changed, and that changes everything.”

—Jonah Lehrer

W

anderlust is defined as a strong desire for or impulses to wander and explore the world. As a teenager, I would often try to imagine the world outside of my own backyard. There was and is a depth to my wanderlust to discover the different cultures around the globe. Luckily, I have been able to travel to a few of those places that I had only been able to daydream about during my teenage years. From France, Italy, North Africa, and our very own beautiful United States amongst other destinations have all been stamped into my memory and my passport.

Snow Skiing in Colorado was never on my ‘must do’ list, yet somehow I ended up learning to ski at the renowned ski school in Beaver Creek. What a rush, racing down a black diamond run, feeling the wind on my face and appreciating the beauty of the mountains that had been recently covered in a fresh snowfall.

There are other places that I’ve had the good fortune to visit, and they all have special meaning to me. Another quote I’m fond of and would like to share is one from Sir Terry Pratchett, an English author known for humorous fantasy and science fiction. “Coming back to where you started is not the same as not leaving.”

In this issue, we feature former Louisvillian Scott Davis. He is a wildlife researcher, expedition leader, author, and professional photographer specializing in wildlife, travel, documentaries, and editorial imagery. Scott has traveled the world and continues to do so, capturing the most breathtaking images that can tell a story about the subject matter without any words needed.

ver dreamed of driving a Porsche around for the weekend without the responsibility of a car-owner? Or have you been eyeing the

new Porsche electric model but not sure if you like how it drives? With the new Porsche Drive program, your dreams can become a reality. Caroline Nuss, Porsche Pro at Blue Grass MOTORSPORT, explained, “Porsche

Drive is a new rental program. It’s kind of like a high-end Enterprise. There are different prices for each rental option and each car. You can rent a car at any Porsche dealership in the country that offers this program.”

The program offers great flexibility depending on your reason for renting, with the option to do a daily rental or monthly subscription and pick from the entire Porsche fleet. A few models include the Porsche 911 sports car, Cayenne, Boxster and Taycan. Nuss noted the popularity of the new electric Taycan, “People are using this program to test drive cars and see if they like it before they buy, especially the electric car. They’ll rent for a week or longer.”

The great thing, Nuss added, is, “you don’t have to have owned a Porsche or currently own one. To rent, you must be 21 or older, and there is a 48-hour screening

process that all renters must complete.

Anyone who is approved can rent.”

For a rental of four days or more, the overall price for all models decreases. The lowest day rental is the Macan at $245, and the highest day rental is the 911 at $395.

The highest monthly subscription is for the 911 at $2,950, and the lowest is for a Macan at $1,600.

Whether you’re looking to surprise a loved one for a birthday or anniversary with a weekend rental, or you’re in the market for one of the new Porsche models, the Porsche Drive program can accommodate as the ultimate luxury car rental experience. v

aul Chevalier was educated in winemaking and viticulture at the University of Reims and the University of Bordeaux.

He went on to acquire his practical knowledge of wine, working for Château Margaux in Bordeaux and later with Louis Latour in Burgundy. He was the youngest member of the winemaking team at Champagne Veuve Clicquot in Reims and technical advisor for Cloudy Bay in New Zealand. He later worked in Bordeaux for the Barton & Guestier and the House of Calvet as Export Director.

Currently, Chevalier is responsible for the sales and marketing of the Château d’Esclans portfolio in North America, working with the Moët Hennessy group. He also works closely with Sacha Lichine, President of Château d’Esclans, in the global marketing strategy for his wines. Chevalier has lectured in over 80 countries and has been a leading figure in the wine world throughout his career. He was honored by the French government in 2013 and received the medal of “Chevalier du Mérite Agricole” for his role in

the promotion of French wines in the United States.

As a wine enthusiast, I was absolutely thrilled to speak with Chevalier and learn about his knowledge of wine & pairings, especially since Whispering Angel is one of my favorite rosé wines from Provence, France.

Tell us about Whispering Angel’s name and its significance for this particular wine.

I think what’s important is that all of the rosé wines we produce are produced at our property called Château d’Esclans.

At the chateau is a small chapel where the faces of two cherubs are above the altar, or you could call them angels. We were looking at these faces and thought wouldn’t this be an excellent name for a wine, especially a label, because everyone loves angels. If you look closely at the label, you will notice one of the angels is leaning toward the ear of the other angel and appears to be whispering. And that is where the name came from.

As VP of Château d’Esclans, what is your day-to-day schedule?

I think what’s interesting is that this brand is relatively new. We started in 2006, so it’s a little over 15 years old. Five people around the world actually run this business. My background is that I’m a winemaker and studied at the University of Champagne in Champagne, France. Part of my day is providing education in the United States about the qualities of rosé wine and what makes rosé from Provence a little different. The virtues of our style of rosé are very light, pale and contain zero sugar, so they are totally dry. My daily routine would be traveling because Whispering Angel is an aspirational wine. Over the last 15 or so years, we have hosted many events from polo to yachting to music to art basil and so forth. We have tried to focus on the fact that Whispering Angel is a great wine and that it’s fun and aspirational.

Can Whispering Angel be served at room temperature, or should it always be at a specific chilled temperature?

Rosé is chilled but not too cold. If the glass steams up, it’s too cold. The secret is that the correct temperature would be 45 degrees.

Is there a proper way to store Whispering Angel, and how long can it age?

In general, when the wine is released, it is ready to drink.

Usually, the first year or two is about the right time to enjoy it with your favorite dish.

platter: carrots, cauliflower, and other fresh vegetables that you can dip into a cream-based sauce or hummus. It is the perfect entertaining wine, what we call an apéritif. Where we all sit around the table before dinner and have a drink with something salty like peanuts or almonds.

The beautiful pink color makes it the perfect entertaining wine. This is also a very approachable wine because it crosses many generations. We use grenache red grapes predominantly, so when you are tasting the wine, it starts as a white wine because the color is so light. Then it has more body than white wine and finishes similar to a red, making it a real crowd-pleaser.

How would you describe the flavor profile of Whispering Angel?

Because it is made from grenache, it has a flavor of red berry fruit like cherries, strawberries, raspberries and so forth. It is incredibly light, has zero sugar and most importantly, is not bitter or astringent. It doesn’t have a bite, so it’s smooth, in fact so smooth before you know it, you drink the whole bottle. Again, Whispering Angel is the perfect entertaining wine and pairs well with many seafood dishes and a variety of delicious cheeses. v For more information on Whispering Angel, visit esclans.com

Do you recommend a particular wine glass for serving Whispering Angel?

We would suggest what we call a Bordeaux glass. A tulip-shaped or a regular white wine glass is also appropriate.

We do not recommend chilling the glass or adding ice cubes.

We would like to hear your serving suggestions for pairing Whispering Angel with various cheeses.

I will say that Whispering Angel is probably one of the most versatile wines for food and wine pairings. Regarding cheeses, I would recommend more either hard cheeses or goat cheese. If you think about where we are from in Provence, which is the Mediterranean, it really goes well with what we call Mediterranean cuisines. Which would be salad niçoise, lighter foods, nothing too heavy. It goes very well with hummus and dried meats if you continue through the Middle East.

It also pairs well with spicy Asian fusion, such as sushi. It is very versatile.

What seafood dishes do you recommend for pairing with Whispering Angel?

I would say because I’m a big fan of shrimp dishes, definitely shrimp.

Scallops and most fish. Salmon for sure; it works perfectly whether it is fresh or smoked. What is excellent about this rosé Whispering Angel is all that casual cuisine like hummus or what we call a crudité

ituated amongst the bucolic rolling hills of Versailles, Kentucky, the Kentucky Castle hotel has an alluring charm and mystery. The original owners began construction in 1969 after a trip to Germany and were inspired by the unique architecture they had seen in Europe.

Having gone through a few different owners, a fire and several renovations since then, today, the Kentucky Castle serves as a unique, one of a kind, boutique hotel. Voted the most beautiful hotel in Kentucky by Architectural Digest, it offers spectacular views of the surrounding property. Guest rooms range from smaller standard rooms to suites that are more expansive in size. There are also tower suites outside the castle building that offer a unique experience with Juliette balconies. Cabins are another option.

The most eclectic offering is the glamping tent, a canvas tent covering a king-sized bed that includes a private porch and fire pit.

Located on the hotel’s first floor is the award-winning Castle Farm restaurant. They are noted on their website as an authentic farm-to-table experience in the heart of the Bluegrass. They have an onsite garden that supplies the restaurant with most of the produce served to guests.

Otherwise, they use locally-sourced fresh ingredients to provide only the finest Kentucky cuisine.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. A proper brunch is available with a myriad of egg dishes, pulled pork and other assortments.

The Kentucky Castle Spa is an experience you will not want to miss. In a storybook onsite cottage overlooking a horse farm, luxury awaits you in this unique setting. A perfect place for a personal getaway and relaxation. Facials, body treatments, cryotherapy and specialized massages.

The spa is a true oasis for bridal parties and birthday celebrations. Chief Operating Officer, Christie Eckerline, explained that the owners have recently purchased the property behind the Kentucky Castle to expand the garden along with the spa. “Come to Kentucky Castle to learn about gardening, health and wellness and how a massage can be medicinal. Especially for guests to take that time out to relax, we want to create a kind of retreat where people can vacate their day-to-day lives. We help guests feel better and learn something they can take home and implement into their lives. Another one of our exceptional services is the body scrub that works in tandem with a massage of choice.

There are several options for booking an event space that can accommodate various needs. If you want a beautiful gilded space for a wedding, we have that. If you are interested in a 300 person dinner, we also have that available. Our greenhouse resides within the castle walls but outside the castle building. It can seat up to 300 guests for dining or up to 400 guests if you want to host a concert. We also have our rooftop that offers amazing views of the castle’s horse farms. There is an east terrace for outdoor gatherings. The courtyard has been recently renovated and is perfect for cocktail parties and tea parties. This past year we hosted approximately 60 weddings,” Eckerline remarked.

The Kentucky Castle has a warm and welcoming boutique hotel atmosphere. It is almost as if you are visiting someone’s home, which is precisely what the original owners intended it to be. v The Kentucky Castle Hotel 230 Pisgah Pike Versailles, KY 40383 859.256.0322 thekentuckycastle.com

His work has been featured in publications like National Geographic, The New York Times and Men’s Journal, to name a few. With the recent publication of his book The Science of Hope: Eye to Eye with our World’s Wildlife, co-authored by Wiebke Finkler, Davis’ passion for adventure has only grown stronger.

How did you get into photography?

Behind the Lens of Scott Davis

A discussion with the Louisville-born, California-based photographer

By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH | Photos by SCOTT DAVIS

As a small boy, around the age of five or six, I remember being completely enthralled by the images in various magazines my parents had stacked around the house. Magazines like National Geographic and LIFE Magazine. These images had the power to transport me to other parts of the world and beyond. Coupled with my deep fascination with nature, wildlife and foreign worlds, my connection to these images seemed like a natural fit. It wasn’t long after that I found an old film camera in a storage closet in our home and immediately started taking pictures. Our home at the time was located in a forest, so I would often spend my days exploring the woods, looking for wildlife and photographing what I found.

A few years later, one of the summer camps I attended had a photography class that taught black and white darkroom techniques. The hook had been set at that point, and soon I had constructed a darkroom in my parent’s basement where I would spend hours. My high school, St. Francis, had a darkroom and a supportive photography teacher who was always encouraging my craft. Later in life, even during my early professional career that focused on wildlife and marine science research, a camera was never far from my hand. I often incorporated photography as a tool to help tell the story of my various wildlife study subjects.

Why do you take photos?

I take photographs for a variety of reasons. One is for the pure joy of creating compelling visual stories. This stems from those early days of excitement and inspiration when looking at National Geographic and similar story images. Knowing that my work may have that same potential to inspire others worldwide to care about or perhaps examine the world beyond their immediate sightline is intensely satisfying.

Another reason I take photographs is the sense of calmness I feel when wholly immersed in my work.

Outside distractions fall away, and being laser-focused on the moment at hand is almost like a form of meditation. Of course, there’s also

48

VOICE LOUISVILLE

the challenge of creating or capturing a strong image.

Capturing something unique provides a deep thrill and sense of accomplishment.

Not every day, week or even month offers something truly special, but the potential is always there at the start of the day. When the planets align, it all comes together, and you succeed. It’s a genuine feeling of elation.

Probably one of the most significant reasons I take photographs is to help report and document what I see happening in the world. I’ve been fortunate to have worked on all seven continents with numerous organizations and record what I have seen. For the last 30 years, I have witnessed first hand both subtle and dramatic changes to our planet and the natural world.

I feel that we as a planet

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

are heading in a precarious direction, and various course changes are necessary. If the collective “we” as global stewards don’t act in a more responsible approach, I have a deep concern that the harm we are doing will be irrevocable. I hope to assist in this endeavor in a small way with my images.

What do you hope people take away from your photos?

For most of my photographs, a prime objective is to bring out the natural dignity and beauty in my subjects, be they animal or human. Aside from the simple beauty of the subjects themselves, I hope the images

can stir a sense of curiosity for the viewer. Ask what the story is behind the image, or create a sense of wonder and appreciation about how diverse and infinitely fascinating our world is. Perhaps they can even bring a sense of connectedness we all share.

If my images can capture the

viewer’s interest, make them pause for even a moment and appreciate the fact that there is so much more to the world than just our immediate surroundings, I like to think that is a good thing. It’s a big task, but that’s part of the fun and challenge to good storytelling photography.

What are you currently working on?

With the global pandemic still affecting all of us, it’s been an interesting last two years, to say the least. My typical pre-pandemic travel schedule had me on the road upwards of 270 days of the year, so I’ve had to adjust like all of us, F JA EN BR UU AA RR Y Y2 2 00 22 2

expeditions to all corners of the planet for people who seek to get off the beaten path enjoying super unique experiences, as well as for photographers who wish to add incredible image opportunities to their portfolios. For example, I’m currently planning a small group, private sailboat experience for those wanting to explore Antarctica’s awe-inspiring beauty and wildlife.

Another trip in the works is a small ship-based expedition in Norway to witness the stunning aurora borealis, snorkel with Orcas and drive your own team of sled dogs under the star-filled nights. I find it exciting to get all the puzzle pieces in place to run these unique expeditions. In the end, when I see people’s faces light up with glee at what they are witnessing and doing, it’s definitely worth the effort.v To view more of Scott’s breathtaking images, visit his website at scottdavisimages.com

Fly in optimum luxury without security risks and safety issues

“J

ust a drink. A martini, shaken, not stirred.” You are familiar with the line, but do you know the movie? Ian Fleming’s character spoke this legendary, iconic phrase, James Bond, 007, in the movie Goldfinger onboard the private jet of the film’s villain, Auric Goldfinger, as they flew to Kentucky. It has been said that no other film franchise has inspired travel more than the fictional stories of James Bond with his life of adventure and romance.

Not to spoil the plot for those few who have not watched Goldfinger, but James Bond faces multiple scenarios of personal risk. He was drugged, kidnapped and eventually had to parachute out of the plane. At Crew Aviation, we want you to fly in the optimum luxury of 007 but without the security risks and safety issues faced by James Bond.

How do I travel in the lifestyle of Her Majesty’s Service without the security risks?

Crew Aviation has in-house security personnel, certified Armed Security Officers, daily domestic and international briefings and every employee goes through extensive security screenings. Crew Aviation is based at Muhammad Ali International Airport, a TSA secure facility. In addition to the TSA, the airport is served by the Louisville International Airport Department of Public Safety, providing onsite police and fire protection services who receive training in aviation safety and security. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol also serve the airport. Arriving aircraft and passengers can clear customs at their facility with proper authorization. It is the only fully security-controlled airfield in the Louisville Metro Area.

Can Crew Aviation fly to locations that other aircraft operators cannot?

Yes. Crew Aviation is authorized as a DCA Access Standard Security Program (DASSP) operator. Crew Aviation’s private terminal is approved as a gateway city for DASSP departures into Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA).

The DCA Access Standard Security Program is the process by which Part 91 and 135 operators can utilize DCA, subject to certain restrictions and specific and detailed requirements of the flight department and departure airport.

Not all Air Charter operators are approved for flights into and out of Washington Reagan National Airport. Operators looking to participate in the DASSP must meet the standards of the TSA. Once approved to fly into DCA, operators must follow strict procedural guidelines

and operational compliance. Flights must be screened at and depart from a designated gateway airport as the last point of departure before arriving at DCA. Security procedures require that an armed security officer (ASO) be onboard each aircraft authorized under the DASSP to fly into and out of DCA.

What about the luxury travel lifestyle of James Bond?

As Mr. Bond once said, “The world is not enough.” The staff at Crew Aviation is trained to provide Stellar Service. Whether it is a martini, champagne, or a specific sparkling water brand, we do our absolute best to provide any personal request. Would you like an Aston Martin pulled planeside for your arrival? We have an extensive network of luxury providers who can accommodate your wishes.

Featuring Founder and Chief Strategist of Jefferson’s Reserve

By JOE DAILY | Photos by ANDREA HUTCHINSON

I

& Kyne Distillery in 1997, it was because I had moved out of Kentucky to half a dozen cities in the U.S. where people did not drink bourbon.

Bourbon was in a 30-year decline, producing an ocean of great older bourbons available for us Trey Zoeller and Joe Daily. to purchase and start blending. We wanted to introduce super-premium bourbon to the market when most brands cut their price. I thought have spent the majority of my adult life studying bevthat bourbon was superior to single malt scotch popular at the erages with a focus on distillates for the most part. This time.

I thought if we crafted the bourbon together to make it month I am joined by Founder and Chief Strategist of complex and balanced, we could compete with the premium, Jefferson’s Reserve, Trey Zoeller. When I first came across more popular scotch brands.

Jefferson’s Reserve, I immediately appreciated the brand.

Now let’s skip a couple of years into the future when I discovered Jefferson’s Ocean Aged At Sea. I thought I knew every avenue and angle skewed around the bourbon and so forth, but this one got me. The ability to age at sea for a bourbon had not even remotely crossed my mind. My mind jumped from place to place. I asked myself, is this legal?

Next, my mind went straight to the point of, I need to taste this bourbon!

How did Jefferson’s Reserve come to be? From what I gather, it’s in the blood of your family history?

Like most of us born in Kentucky, we have relatives who were involved in the bourbon industry one way, shape or form. We can trace our bourbon roots back to 1799 when my 8th generation grandmother was arrested for producing and selling whiskey, making her the first documented woman in the American Whiskey Business. However, when my Dad and I started McLain 66

For our readers interested in checking out the distillery, where are you guys located?

Our home is in Crestwood, KY, 14 miles from downtown Louisville at Kentucky Artisan Distillery. We are open for tours from Wednesday to Sunday. Please come out and see us!

Alright, so like many of the questions I want to dig into. What in the world is Jefferson’s Ocean?!

Jefferson’s Ocean is one of 21 expressions of Jefferson’s bourbon that we have produced. We are currently bottling our 26th voyage. We take fully mature bourbon, load the barrels in cradles and place them in containers. They are shipped to Savannah and put on ships that travel to approximately 30 ports on five continents, crossing the equator several times. We have a regular voyage every year and a wheated and cask strength voyage.

The rocking back and forth of the waves makes the bourbon FEBRUARY 2022

continuously in contact with the wood, which imparts more flavors, and the wood acts as a filter, taking out the astringency of the alcohol. The extreme heat caramelized the wood’s sugars when the ship crossed the equator, bringing forth a very viscous caramel flavor. Finally, when the ship is out on the open ocean, the salt air permeates the barrel and gives it a salty flavor.

Many people that have written about Jefferson’s Ocean say they thought it was a gimmick until they tried it. Now it tastes like salted caramel popcorn bourbon.

Trey Zoeller.

How did the idea for Jefferson’s Ocean come about?

I was drinking bourbon with some friends on the bow of a ship in Costa Rica. As I noticed the bourbon rocking back and forth in the bottle, I thought if this would happen in a bottle, surely it would do the same in a barrel. That agitation and change of environment and temperatures would drastically alter the maturation process. We ended up putting five barrels on a ship for three and a half years. What came back was almost black, thick, and absolutely delicious.

Is there a specific path your team tried to take with the bourbon aged at sea?

Well, at first, it was merely an experiment. We now have completed 26 voyages. What is impressive is that all but two of those voyages have gone on basically the same route.

However, what it encounters on each voyage changes the taste and feel of each voyage. Whether we depart in the summer or winter, what storms we encounter, hurricanes, typhoons, rough seas in the Tasmanian Sea, freezing temperatures in the North Sea, dead calm seas around the equator. All make FEBRUARY 2022

Sazerac Cocktail Tools required to tipple your senses: • 1oz and 2oz Jigger (A bartender’s tool to measure) • Yarai Mixing Glass (This is 90% of the time a glass vessel, but there are some metal versions as well) • Stirring Spoon (This is a spoon designed to stir cocktails) • Hawthorne Strainer or Julep Strainer(I prefer Hawthorne strainers for all applications) • Old Fashioned Glass

a difference. Voyage 24, we kept the ship in sweltering, humid temperatures around the Caribbean and Central America, the bourbon matured differently than all of the other voyages. We now get lots of data from each voyage, whether it’s relative seas conditions (calm, moderate, rough, very rough) as well as average water and air temperatures. This information gives us a good idea of what we can anticipate the voyages will taste like and how to replicate those flavors. We want to continue experimenting and find the right conditions to craft the best bourbon.

• Muddler

Where the magic happens:

Directions:

• 1.25oz Jefferson’s Reserve Bourbon

Rinse a chilled rocks glass with absinthe, discarding any excess, and set aside.

• 1.25oz Cognac (Dealer’s Choice) • 2 Dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters • 3 Dash Peychaud’s Bitters • ½ Teaspoon of Water • Absinthe Rinse

In a mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube, water and the Peychaud’s and Angostura bitters.

Add the rye and cognac, fill the mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.

Strain into the prepared glass.

• Sugar Cube • Ice: No Ice In Finished Cocktail • Garnish: Large Swath of Lemon Peel

Twist the lemon peel over the drink’s surface to express the peel’s oils, then garnish with the peel.

• Y-Peeler (This is for peeling the garnish) • Ice Scoop (The tool everyone forgets including me)

Trey Zoeller and Joe Daily.

Would you mind shedding a little light on the science of Jefferson’s Ocean aged at sea?

The science is taking fully mature bourbon and enhancing it by introducing constant agitation, extreme temperature fluctuation and brine. We have sent samples of bourbon that have been on the journey and those barrels that we distilled on the same day and aged in Kentucky and had them broken down molecularly by Jordie Lab in M.A. They produced a 300-page document that proves how the whiskey had metamorphosed from its start to the end. Historically speaking, it was similar to how people in Kentucky initially brought their bourbon to market on the East Coast (where there were people), which changed whiskey into bourbon for the first time.

So, to close things out: do you have a favorite cocktail in your arsenal?

I keep it pretty simple; I like my bourbon on one big rock. If I am going to drink a cocktail, it is typically an Old Fashioned or a Sazerac.

Jefferson’s Ocean Aged At Sea is one of the most extraordinary origin stories of any bourbon on the planet! From a product going out to sea as an experiment to being one of the finest bourbons to taste against itself via different voyages. The discernable differences make this product a fun find in the wild, and I look forward to the new voyages as they arrive.

What a great way to start the year. As always, thank you all for joining us this month!

P

eople of Earth, a dynamic Latin timba ensemble based in New York City, appears with Teddy Abrams and the Louisville Orchestra in Whitney Hall on Mar. 4 and 5, is a highlight of Part I of the orchestra’s two-concert Festival of Latin American Music.

Part II continues Mar. 11-12, in a festival that sweeps across the Caribbean and through the hemisphere on a tour of the music of the Americas.

Together, the two concerts premiere three new compositions commissioned by the Louisville Orchestra. Two were commissioned and premiered by the Louisville Orchestra more than 50 years ago under the baton of symphony founder Robert Whitney.

Besides the new, there’s also the familiar, with the Mar. 4-5 concerts featuring Leonard Bernstein’s “Symphonic Dances”

from “West Side Story,” and the Mar. 11-12 concerts capped with the “Cuban Overture,” by George Gershwin.

A lot of sounds, and it’s all got rhythm.

“We’re bringing together all kinds of perspectives on Latin Music, from traditional to jazz, fusion and concert music as we celebrate this culture,” says Abrams. “The rhythms and textures that bring energy and light

to Latin Music will be on display at these shows — and I’m so excited to bring these performers and this music to Louisville audiences.”

The People of Earth is a band of singers, dancers, horns and percussion infusing the many beats and dance rhythms of Cuba and the Caribbean — all perking with the symphony’s strings. Abrams says the blend “blurs the lines of salsa club and concert hall.

“We had the extraordinary opportunity to commission a new work from Dafnis Prieto, a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” fellow and multi-Grammy-winning Cuban composer and performer,” says Abrams. “He agreed to write a piece that redefines the concept of soloist,” with the People of Earth timba band taking center stage.

Prieto says his “Tentacion” (Temptation) explores the many sides of a relationship in “an imaginary love story driven by the powerful law of attraction.”

Abrams notes that the Festival’s new commissions reaffirm the Louisville Orchestra’s association with Latin Music. Many of the hundreds of works premiered and recorded by the symphony on its First Edition label a half-century ago were created by musicians of international fame, including Heitor Villa-Lobos, Brazil’s most famous composer. His “Alvorada na Floresta Tropical” (Dawn in a Tropical Rainforest) premiered in Louisville in 1953.

Though classically trained in Paris, Villa-Lobos always asserted he learned his music “from a bird in the jungles of Brazil, not from academics.” For the premiere, Villa-Lobos explained, “A dawn, in any tropical forest of Brazil, is for me an overture of colors accompanied by the magic singing and chirping of tropical birds — and also by the howls, squeals, evocations and the exotic barbaric dances of the native Indians.”

Villa Lobos adapted the tonal scales of indigenous Brazilians into his composition. The piece is programmed for Saturday, Mar. 5 only.

Later in March, Abrams programmed Joaquin Rodrigo’s guitar “Concierto de Aranjuez” into the Louisville Orchestra’s “Music Without Borders” series, Mar. 24, 25 and 26, at The Temple, The Jeffersonian, and the Ogle Center, respectively. Stephen Mattingly is the featured guitarist.

Featuring Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery’s Bestie Award-winning RN/Aesthetician Audrey May

hortly after Mizuguchi’s opening in 2017, Audrey May joined the staff as an RN/Aesthetician. She spoke with us about the range of services offered at Mizuguchi and how she works with patients to create gradual, subtle changes in appearance.

What treatments do you offer for “tech neck”?

We’re beginning to see more “tech neck,” especially in young patients, because people’s necks are looking down at their phone or laptop. The first thing I recommend is changing your patterns and how you hold yourself. After that, we can move into noninvasive treatments like lotions and creams. Then I’ll graduate patients into a neurotoxin that treats the platysmal bands to lift the skin and tissue. We can also treat it more superficially or subdermally where you’re only injecting it into the necklace lines to help soften them. There are other devices we can use, like microneedling with radio frequency. The last case scenario is to use fillers in that area, which helps stimulate collagen and elastane.

FEBRUARY 2022

What are your noninvasive device offerings?

First is fractora, which is a microneedling device with radio frequency.

Microneedling will create an injury in the epidermis of the skin. It’s compounded with an injury of heat, which is where the radio frequency comes in. It’s a fractional ablative treatment, so it’s a controlled injury on the skin where we give it just enough to heal itself. Within that healing cascade, we know that it will stimulate collagen further down the line, which helps with fine lines and wrinkles. Fractora’s an excellent treatment for patients with textural issues, like fine lines around the mouth that are very dynamic. It also helps with acne scarring and pore size.

We also have ultherapy, which is the only FDA-approved device to help lift the skin. It does this through thermal coagulation points deep in the tissue, where we stimulate collagen. In both fractora and ultherapy, it takes time to see results because it takes time to create collagen.

What is prophylactic botox?

Rather than trying to erase the wrinkles from overtime, prophylactic botox is when you start at a young age. Just like you try to stop cardiac disease by eating healthy and exercising, you can slow the process of aging with excellent skincare, starting botox early, or stimulating collagen and elastane. A popular treatment with younger patients is to do the glabella or the 11 lines.

What skincare products do you offer at Mizuguchi?

We have medical-grade skincare products from Neocutis and Skinbetter Science that we recommend to our patients. Those two lines have lots of studies about the science of why it works. I tell my patients that skincare is a science, and science is ever-changing. If you haven’t changed up your skincare products in a long time, then you don’t have the best science behind your products.

What are the top anti-aging skincare products?

I recommend four products whether you have young aging skin or mature aging skin. Two are treatments: retinol and human growth factor. The other two are preventatives: sunscreen (always always always!) and an antioxidant. Those four products are insanely beneficial and essential. You can then add other products like a moisturizer, eye cream, cleanser, etc. v Mizuguchi Plastic Surgery 7501 New La Grange Rd. Louisville, KY 40222 502.200.0600 nanamd.com

ach year guests gather for the Wrapped in Red Gala in Louisville to support the American Red Cross of Kentucky. However, this year’s event on Saturday, Feb. 5, at the Omni Louisville Hotel will hit closer to home.

According to Governor Beshear, on Dec. 10, 2021, a deadly tornado struck Western Kentucky, killing at least 77 people and leaving hundreds homeless. The Red Cross Relief Team has been there ever since, working to help the communities in need. We spoke with the Senior Director of Communications Amber Youngblood of Red Cross Kentucky to understand more about the positive impacts that support and donations can have on affected communities across the state.

“There was not a street in downtown Bowling Green that was not impacted in some way. Roads were impassable,” shared Amber. “One street, you’ll see a perfect home, but then right across the street is a home completely destroyed.” At the peak of relief, Amber and a team of over 600 Red Cross relief workers quickly assisted in person and virtually to the 25 counties impacted; Bowling Green and Mayfield being the two towns hit the hardest. The majority are volunteers within the state of Kentucky but can also come from across the country. “We rely on much of our work with volunteer support and could not do a majority of it without them. They make up 90% of the Red Cross,” shared Amber.

Volunteers receive free training based on their interests and can receive it during any time of the year. These roles can range from shelter care to emotional and spiritual support. For disasters like the tornado in Western Kentucky, Red Cross was able to seek out people who have helped with similar experiences in the past to guarantee the best help possible.

As a result of the hardworking Red Cross Relief Team and donations, they have served over 60,000 meals and snacks and 40,000 relief items to those affected by the tornado. “We also give away cleanup kits with items like gloves and bleach to help salvage the remains of their homes and are providing mittens, hand warmers, hats, etc.,” said Amber. The Red Cross also has a task team to assist with medical needs like prescription eyewear and medicine.

The Red Cross works with agencies and community partners to meet long-term needs to become one big puzzle. They have established partnerships with mobile feeding kitchens and places like churches to ensure people and family’s needs are being met on a 24/7 basis and ensure that they have a recovery plan post relief or post shelter. Amber said, “Red Cross is a part of the solution, but not the full solution. We help with immediate needs like food and clothing and work with agencies so they can help with the longer-term needs.”

The support and accessibility through the Red Cross would not be possible without financial support. “It’s the donations every day that help us quickly mobilize,” said Amber. “Events like Wrapped in Red help us not in large scale disasters, but also those everyday disasters like the 2,000 families a year affected by fires.” The donations

FEBRUARY 2022

allow the Red Cross to have resources readily available so that families have one less thing to worry about.

The 12th Annual Wrapped in Red Gala reflects the importance of fundraising, with all proceeds, helping millions across the country and the state that we call home. Attendees can expect to eat a specially prepared three-course dinner by the Omni Louisville Hotel. The gala will also include a premier auction that features adventurous trips and unique items. For those wanting to dance and sing, guests will be able to see and listen to the Endless Summer Band and an exceptional guest performance by Kentucky’s country music

artist, J.D. Shelburne. Enjoy an evening of fun and don your formal red attire to support the Red Cross.

The Wrapped in Red Gala attendees will be required to show proof of full vaccination or a 72-hour negative test to enter the event. Masks are optional but will be available and are required to be worn by the staff and volunteers. v Wrapped in Red Gala 6 p.m. Feb. 5 Omni Louisville Hotel redcross.org/local/kentucky

Devin played tennis all through high school and I played soccer and basketball in high school and soccer for one year at Bellarmine.

We have always been active, and staying fit has been a priority of ours.

Now, I am a physical therapist, working at Norton Hospital, and also own and run a baking business out of my home, Tin Lizzie Baked Goods, where I specialize in custom cookies. Devin works in sales for a local business. We both have very busy day-today schedules and rely on a good morning workout to get our days started!

How long have you been into fitness?

I have a passion for fitness so when I stopped playing soccer at Bellarmine, Milestone provided me with a great transition from sports to maintaining a healthy lifestyle outside of competition. To further my passion for healthy living, I obtained my degrees, Bachelor of Health Science and a Doctor of Physical Therapy, to carry this passion into my career.

When and why did you join Milestone?

I joined Milestone in the fall of 2016 and Devin joined in the spring of 2018. I discovered the group fitness classes they offer.

I met Jeff Howard and Trish Handmaker and quickly became a regular in their daily classes. I loved the atmosphere and the ability to continue working out in the group setting.

After graduating college, Devin hopped on board and joined me in the fitness classes and grew to love them as well. A few years later, we met Bridget Karem and started attending her cycling classes. We are now regulars in her classes every Wednesday at 6 a.m. and Saturday at 9:30 a.m. This is something we look forward to every week.

How do you create and continue healthy habits?

We have both made fitness a priority.

Getting a workout in provides great stress relief and a break from our busy careers.

Regardless of how crazy our schedules get, we have vowed to put our health first and for us, that means staying fit and eating healthy.

We are morning gym people, checking into Milestone before the sun rises. We go to Milestone about six days a week. We usually create our own workouts including cardio and free weights and then enjoy taking cycling classes two to three days a week. Aside from working out to maintain healthy habits, we also cook dinner every night during the week and pack lunches for work. We try to stick to healthy meals during the week and save our “cheat” meals for the weekend.

We believe healthy habits are created in the kitchen and carried over at the gym, but of course, everything is in moderation. If we get an invite during the week to go to Drake’s or another favorite restaurant of ours with friends or family we don’t pass it up!

What is something that makes Milestone unique to your personal journey?

Milestone is more than just a gym.

When we joined Milestone years ago and attended daily group fitness classes, the trainers and other people who we worked out with became friends outside of the classes. Relationships were cultivated and ultimately, just like friends, helped support me in growing my baking business. They look beyond fitness and support their members in more ways than just in the fitness journey.

What are some of your favorite memories at Milestone?

Attending Jeff Howard’s “doubleheader” classes on Saturday mornings, starting off with a spin class where his music took the class to a new level, followed by Power Sculpt where the room was packed to the brim. These mornings always kicked our weekends off right and the energy was something unmatched.

Any tips to people wanting to join or start their fitness journey this year?

Set goals, and start small. People often go straight to social media and decide they want to look like “so-and-so.” My biggest piece of advice would be to get away from social media platforms and decide what you want for yourself. Take it week by week and celebrate the small victories. Everyone is in a different place on their fitness journey, but we all have to start somewhere. v

Do you have a favorite film that’s currently showing?

Flee is one of my favorites. I also think it will get nominated for Best Animated Film too. It’s a story of a young Afghan boy who traveled to Denmark as an unaccompanied minor. He was a refugee. Because you don’t have any footage of that trip since it was 30 years ago, the director decided to tell the story using audio recording and work with an animator to depict what was going on. It’s a fascinating way to overcome a real challenge in making a documentary. It’s alluring to mix animation with documentary, creating a compelling film.

What does award season mean to you?

Do you think the pandemic has shifted the way films are made?

It brings attention to really great cinema. Many films wouldn’t get the same type of attention if there weren’t these awards. A lot of people wait until the awards season for the nominations to come out and say, “I’m going to use this as my guide to what I’m going to see because I don’t want my time to be wasted.” Film is a time-based medium, so it’s going to take some time, you’re going to need to devote two or three hours to something, and you want that to be worthwhile.

It’s thrown the whole film exhibition industry into a dire situation. We saw several films that were shot during the pandemic, one of the best ones was The Power of the Dog, which is now streaming on Netflix. The Speed Cinema screened it for two weeks before it was available for streaming. The whole cast and crew flew to New Zealand, quarantined, then shot the entire film in a bubble. The director was at the first U.S. screening, and when the movie ended, we were all just speechless. Everyone was stunned. It’s a film that plays great dividends to see it projected

in a cinema. There’s so much work that went into the cinematography and sound design for that film that I don’t think you’re going to get if you watch it on your phone or tablet. I think that will probably take a number of the top prizes such as Best Actor to Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, Kirsten Dunst will definitely be nominated for Best Supporting Actress. v Speed Art Museum 2035 S 3rd St. Louisville, KY 40208 502.634.2700 speedmuseum.org

Classic With A Twist

Chenault James Interiors refreshes a home with a modern, playful edge

eady to add a contemporary feel while still interweaving her classical style, the homeowner called on her friend Chenault James, whom she had previously worked with, to freshen up her abode. With a strong understanding of the homeowner’s style and aesthetic, James jumped in and got to work on what she does best, interior design. The only request of the homeowner was to incorporate the plethora of family heirlooms and antique pieces from her grandparents.

James noted, “A part of what makes design fun is getting to incorporate vintage pieces in a new way and give them new life. The starting point for the downstairs space was knowing we wanted to freshen it up and give it a modern feel. The antiques gave the project a heart and soul because we got to use these pieces that have deep meaning.”

Many horses appear throughout the house in honor of the owner’s grandfather’s love of thoroughbred breeding. However, my favorite piece was the frog in the living room, which James mentioned was a vintage Tiffany’s piece.

In the kitchen, your eye is immediately drawn to the backsplash above the stove, which James explained: “We wanted the materials to be organic. The wall finish is a natural lime paint, and the hood is plaster with a reclaimed beam. This tile is an encaustic tile, which is handmade cement tile. The design can be interpreted in many different ways, but we interpreted it as birds. We laid out the tiles on the floor and decided which directions they would fly. That goes back to the homeowner’s style, which is classic with a touch of playfulness. It’s part of the balancing act.” In this case, the playful backsplash is balanced with the classic French range, La Cornue, giving the kitchen a certain je ne sais quoi.

This idea of giving the classic style a playful edge continues into the butler’s pantry, “with the walnut top and high gloss black cabinets, and then again, we made it not too serious by putting lemons on the ceiling. It’s a fun surprise,” James added.

Upstairs, the bedroom serves as a peaceful hideaway with light colors and a beautiful antique screen positioned behind the bed that the room draws inspiration from. James reflected on the different pieces: “The bamboo bed is new but looks like an antique.

The lamps are a little funky, and the side tables are more modern, which was the contrast to keep the space fresh. The view outside is the trees, so it almost feels like a treehouse. We wanted to let the outside in, so we kept the drapery light not to obstruct your view of the windows.”

James carried this “bringing the outside in” feel over into the bathroom by adding wood siding on the walls to make it feel like a converted porch. She explained that the steel shower door is in remembrance of a previous homeowner: “Stanley Schultz used to own the house, and downstairs he put in this big steel window and a greenhouse-type FEBRUARY 2022

ceiling in the kitchen. It was leaky, so it had to be demoed. For the shower, the steel door is a nod to Stanley. The tile is classic subway black and white, and there is this old brass sponge basket from a train car.”

Coming back downstairs, the living room centers around a contemporary blue couch and the kitchen counter is accented with bright yellow stools, of which James commented that “the homeowner is good with taking a risk and understanding that not everything has to match.” Those slight risks taken to give the design a playful edge produced a distinct character that delicately mixes the soulful family memorabilia into the modern spirit. v Chenault James Interiors, LLC 843 E Market St. Louisville, KY 40206 502.498.4900 chenaultjames.com

The Classic Charm of Jack Fry’s Voted best date night spot in Louisville

By SARAH CARTER LEVITCH Photos by KATHRYN HARRINGTON

B

eloved in the community since its opening in 1933, Jack Fry’s has become a Louisville classic filled with distinct charm and character. Known for their bistro southern style cuisine with a French influence, the restaurant serves the perfect atmosphere for a romantic night. We spoke with owner Stephanie Meeks to learn a bit more about the restaurant’s history.

What is the history of Jack Fry’s?

Malachi Jack Fry and his wife Flossie opened the doors in 1933 in the exact same location it proudly stands today. Jack had a vision of opening a restaurant to entice community gatherings and camaraderie.

He also had a passion for sports wagering, especially boxing and horse racing, so the restaurant quickly became a casual sportsman’s hangout. A much-loved character, Jack, though tough as nails, would give food and drink to patrons that couldn’t pay their bills. Jack was also known to conduct book-making discretely from the back room and to indulge many, including city officials, during prohibition. The restaurant became a local hotspot, and over the years, Jack thoroughly and proudly displayed his precious photographic memories, many of which remain today. Susan Seiller bought the restaurant in 1987, the same year that Jack passed away. She and Chef Shawn Ward transformed the casual eatery into a culinary favorite.

How did you come to be the owner?

I began in 1996 as a host and quickly fell in love with the restaurant’s history and the hospitality industry. I was approached to help manage the restaurant and decided to quit my full-time sales job and happily jump in. After years of management, Susan surprised me out of the blue and 104

proposed I purchase the historic business and real estate. It all came to fruition in February of 2008. The loving support of the community was and continues to be overwhelming. With the help of Chef Duncan Williams and the excellent staff, I am incredibly proud to expand and carry on the tradition and vision of what Jack and Susan created.

Why is Jack Fry’s the ideal spot for a date night?

The cherished atmosphere is perfect for a date night. It is dimly lit with a live piano that is energetic yet relaxing, cozy and sexy.

Haunted with generations of pivotal memories, the stimulating space makes you feel alive and in the moment while also taking you back in time.

What are popular appetizers and entrees?

Some of the favorites include the ricotta gnocchi tossed in a calvados cream sauce with roasted mushrooms and broccolini.

Spicy fried oysters served over Weisenberger grits with country ham. Green onions in a beurre blanc, sorghum-braised beef short ribs and black truffle glazed vegetables served over sweet potato purée, crispy risotto stuffed with crucolo and parmesan cheese served atop kale pesto. Prosciuttowrapped chicken saltimbocca served over creamy polenta and roasted brussels sprouts finished with a lemon-caper berry thyme jus. v Jack Fry’s 1007 Bardstown Rd.

When Is the Right Time to Make the Personal Care Move?

Maintain as much independence as you want while receiving the level of personalized care you need

I

t’s a fact, seniors today are healthier and more active than ever.

However, over time, aging does impact one’s lifestyle. A senior living community provides for those needs regardless of where one is in the aging process. Many are set up to allow you to age in place including Independent Living, Personal Care, and Memory Care options. This continuum of care is designed to provide an increasing level of services and the peace of mind knowing that everything is conveniently located in one community.

But how do you know if the worry-free lifestyle of Personal Care is what you need? Answer these two questions.

106

VOICE LOUISVILLE

| VO I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

1. Is the community right for your current and future lifestyle?

Write down all the things you love to do, want to do in the future but are unable to based on your current living situation, and all the things you do not want to do anymore, like home maintenance. Independent Living is ideal for those looking to enjoy a retirement lifestyle. However, Personal Care provides an extra level of personalized assistance including medication management, 24/7 compassionate care on site, and a full-time licensed nurse.

Most communities include meal/dining options, housekeeping, transportation, and laundry services. The more inclusive senior living communities include resort-style pools, fitness centers, and salons. These amenities and services will keep you happy, healthy, and carefree.

2. What level of care does the community provide?

A senior living community should provide a holistic approach to ensure that all needs are met to provide optimal living. If you or your loved one find yourself needing to transition from Independent Living to Personal Care, the only thing that should change is living quarters and ensuring that there are staff on-site 24/7 to manage your care needs. It can become harder to manage medication, activities of daily living, and health care needs as we grow older.

However, one’s quality of life should not change. Personal Care communities have levels of care. Make sure you ask what that looks like.

If you are considering a senior living community and think a Personal Care lifestyle may be right for you, do your research.

The more you are informed, the easier the move will be for you and your family.

Science

Insofar as one of the themes of this issue is travel, I thought I’d write a column about time travel

By STEVE HUMPHREY

W

e are all quite familiar with stories about time travel. Doctor Who, 12 Monkeys, Back to the Future, The Time Machine, et al. So far as I know, the very first person to even think about traveling through time was H. G. Wells, in his story written in 1895. This kind of travel involves some machine that enables people to travel from one public time to another, in a short amount of personal time. These all seem to depend upon the Newtonian notion of Absolute Time, which exists independently of anything else and is like space in that you can move through it. I have argued in previous columns that this sort of time does not exist, but time travel stories still seem plausible.

But is it possible? That naïve question is unanswerable, as asked. Before we can even begin to address it, we have to ask several preliminary questions, having to do what, exactly, we mean by ‘time travel’ and then figuring out what ‘possible’ means.

Time travel must involve an abrupt change of temporal position, either into the future or into the past. Simply living in the world and being at one time and then another is not what we’re interested in. Nor is sleeping. It has been said that a bed is a time machine. We go to sleep at one time and wake up at another without being conscious of eight hours passing. No, time travel must involve something more significant than this.

According to the special theory of relativity, travel into the future is quite possible. If I take off in a high-speed rocket ship

and return, I will have aged less than those I left behind, so I will have traveled into their future. But this isn’t quite what we usually mean by time travel. Just because I age more slowly than others doesn’t mean I have traveled through time. How about a journey into the past? Is that possible? There are many senses of ‘possible,’ but let us look at ‘logically possible.’ Arguments to show that time travel is not logically possible usually involve ‘self-defeating loops.’

The Grandfather Paradox is the most famous of these arguments. It attempts to show that time travel is logically impossible by showing that the assumption of time travel leads to a contradiction. The argument goes, suppose time travel into the past was possible. Then the time traveler could go back to when her grandfather was a young man and kill him, thus preventing him from having children, and thus avoiding the birth of the time traveler, thus preventing the time traveler from killing granddad. The contradiction is that grandfather is both killed and not killed, thus implying that the initial assumption is false.

How do we avoid this paradox? Most attempts focus on the second step. Could the time traveler kill granddad? Prima facie, there is no reason that she couldn’t. She could have means, motive and opportunity. There is no reason to think that she couldn’t kill any number of other people. Why not granddad?

But her presence in her grandfather’s past entails that she didn’t kill him. Why not? This is the source of the tension in this argument. How are we to explain her failure, given her ability?

FEBRUARY 2022

A series of misfortunes might befall the would-be grand-patricidal time traveler. Though she tries and tries, something always prevents her from succeeding. The gun jams, the dynamite gets wet, she loses her nerve, etc. This might solve the problem but at the cost of introducing a new mystery. Why are all these things happening? Each one, individually, might be explicable, but how do you explain the continued failures? One way around this might be to say that there is a law preventing self-defeating loops in a world where time travel occurs. Such a law has been referred to as ‘Novikov’s self-consistency principle’. Even though no local laws prevent murder, one might argue that global laws do. That is, if we look at the local environment immediately surrounding the attempts upon granddad’s life, we can find no reason for her failure to accomplish her mission. But if we look at the universe, as a whole, including past and future, then we see that there are compelling reasons why she doesn’t.

As an aside, the philosopher David Lewis points out an ambiguity in the word ‘can,’ as in ‘she can kill her grandfather.’ A gorilla cannot speak Finnish. It doesn’t have the necessary speech apparatus that humans do, but unlike a gorilla, I do have that apparatus, so I can speak Finnish.

But don’t take me to Helsinki as a translator because I can’t speak Finnish. So, in what sense ‘can’ she kill her grandfather?

Another potential paradox arises in the so-called discovery or ontological paradox cases. Someone finds instructions for building a time machine in a dusty book in a forgotten drawer in the attic. He uses the instructions to build the time machine and then, after having several adventures, takes them back to see where they came from. He finds they are not in the drawer, but hears his earlier self coming up the stairs, so he quickly places the instructions into the drawer and departs, leaving his earlier self to find them. This is a consistent loop, where a previous step explains each step, but the entire loop as a whole seems like it needs explanation. Where did the information on how to build a time machine come from in the first place? And if there is no explanation, is that important? Several features of the universe lack explanation, and that doesn’t seem to bother us—Big Bang, inflation, dark energy, quantum entanglement, etc.

As I hope you can see, this is a very tricky issue. I could write 10,000 words about it, but, unfortunately, I only get 1,000. I’m going to have to talk to my publisher about that. v

A Plant Paradise

Located in the heart of St. Matthews, Petals is a flourishing, one-stop destination for your plant needs

By RACHEL PORTER Photos provided by PETALS

L

ouisville’s newest plant paradise is a onestop boutique for your indoor plant needs. Owners Jeff Wallitsch and Nique Freese have transformed the 362 square feet space connected to Digs Home and Garden into what they like to call a “room of cuteness.” With over 18 years of experience, the two friends have cultivated custom container gardens and floral designs to perfection.

“I started a container business about 18 years ago. I enjoy planting flowers and need a creative outlet because sometimes life gets crazy!” shared Nique. “In 2020, right before the pandemic, I thought, wouldn’t it be fun if we opened a plant and container store? Digs was magically supportive and let us open the store.”

The store’s opening created feelings of nervousness and excitement for Jeff and Nique.

With the help of Digs, Petals was able to build a clientele and quickly become a St. Matthews’ staple. “We want to make sure our little space is as beautifully curated as we can,” expressed Nique. A perk of Petals is that the product is always fresh due to the weekly ordering of indoor and outdoor plants.

Jeff and Nique strive to curate the perfect container for your lifestyle and personality.

Within the boutique, you’ll discover life in a box! ‘Petals Customs’ creations are unique, customized container gardens perfect for any outdoor space. The ‘Grab and Go’ option offers display-ready planters and seasonal floral.

Not only does Petals allow you to express yourself, but it also allows you to change that expression each season. “Rather than looking out at your porch and seeing dirt in pots, we try to create multi-textural plants where it’s the tall shrub and the short shrub, pine cones, etc., to allow the pot to last until early spring,” said Nique. “You are not looking out to grey, but instead to beautiful planters.”

Florals are also available to purchase by either grab-and-go or custom orders. Jeff and Nique make miniature floral bouquets daily and have had an incredible response from the neighborhood. They are eager to watch this side of their business grow. Florals have taught them the meaning behind a bouquet.

“There’s always a story attached,” expressed Nique. She mentioned how they could symbolize the beginning of life, a celebration of life and the closing of a life. “It makes it very humbling,” she shared.

Variety is what you’ll find for those who visit and shop with Petals. Jeff said, “Our clientele ranges from younger plant parents to the traditional plant and floral customer.

So it’s fun finding new and cool plant material.” However, not every customer has to be knowledgeable about plants. The Petals team is there to help guide customers along their plant journey, whether it be the first or 20th attempt at keeping a plant alive. “We too have failed and plants have died. We try to share what works for us, and that is all we

can do,” said Nique. “We can come to their house to check their plant, or they can bring them to us to help nurture them,” added Jeff.

Petals has seen tremendous success and support from the community thus far. They want to share their gratitude to the neighborhood for embracing the store and being where people want to come. Whether you are new to plants or not, Petals welcomes you with love!
