AS WE ENTER THE HOLIDAY SEASON, I AM ESPECIALLY DELIGHTED TO BE SPREADING GOOD CHEER. There are so many wonderful things to celebrate. Lake Murray Country provides us with an array of ways to enjoy the holiday season. From boat shows, to the Nutcracker, to snow and the zoo, the Carolina Midlands has something to get everyone in the holiday spirit. Holiday is the perfect time to shop small businesses. Chef J and The Art of Charcuterie is just one option I’ve discovered through 1 Million Cups. Maybe there’s nothing small about Danika Patrick’s latest business endeavor, but it certainly is sweet. Danika Rosé is a delightful new wine that will freshen up your holiday party! Travel is high on my list for 2022. Ava Roxanne Stritt has me dreaming of turtles and the Galapagos Islands.

from racing to pursue other projects. “It was more like when I retired, I knew what I was going to do,” she adds. A PASSION FOR WINE Danica’s latest venture, Danica Rosé, grew from her ongoing passion for the libation. Her focus was on producing a traditional rosé from Provence, the oldest wine-producing region in France. She partnered with Les Vins Margnat, a family-owned company with a winemaking tradition dating back more than 200 years, and assembled a team of award-winning vintners. The result is a rosé created in a time-honored Provençal style. Danica Rosé is crisp, light and has a well-balanced acidity that makes it a perfect wine for any time of year. It incorporates flavors of white peach, melon, tart strawberry, hibiscus and lime blossom. CONTINUED >

DANICA ROSE’ (CONTINUED)

City Lifestyle Lake Murray | December 2021

Although Danica also produces a rosé with her label Somnium, with Danica Rosé, she sought to create a wine that spoke to her personally. “Like with racing, people were always kind of curious about me. They would ask, ‘What is it about you?’” she explains. “The only thing I can come up with as to why people are interested is that they can relate to authenticity. Authenticity is something that is important to me.” “To make a rosé that is an authentic rosé from Provence was something that is really exciting for me — and here we are,” she exclaims. From vine to bottle, the wine is produced completely in Provence. Adding to its authenticity is its aesthetic; the bottle showcases Danica’s influence. The name Danica means “morning star,” and fittingly, the Danica Rosé bottle features a star on its neck, signifying hope, courage, guidance and

The Art of Charcuterie ARTICLE SHANNON BARGHOLS

PHOTOGRAPHY SERGIO APARICIO

CHEF J IS A FOODIE WHO ENJOYS CREATING FOOD THAT WAKES UP YOUR TASTE BUDS BUT LEAVES YOU FEELING AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL. After attending Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City, Chef Judy Etheredge received the love of cooking for family and friends. The ” Art of Charcuterie” was inspired after planning a trip with her husband and friends to Italy which was, unfortunately, canceled because of Covid-19. Fast forward to now, and the “Art of Charcuterie” has evolved into boxes offered to clients in a variety of different sizes and unique options. For options, consider the original - meat & cheese, breakfast, lunch, fruit, fruit & cheese, or even dessert. For occasion, think holiday themes, birthday, bridal/ baby showers, meetings, retirement, children, corporate lunches/ events, retreats, girlfriend night out, date night, sports fans and weekend relaxation. Chef J and her team take pride in designing each box with you in mind. Her tagline is “you deserve to live well.” This holiday season is the perfect time to celebrate and live well with family and friends. Find Chef J and The Art of Charcuterie at CelebStudioSC.com.

CHEF J BLENDS FOOD AND ART

WHAT IS A CHARCUTERIE BOARD? Charcuterie is the art of preparing cured or smoked meats. A charcuterie board is an assortment of meats, cheeses, artisan breads, olives, fruit, and nuts, all artfully arranged on a serving board. Charcuterie boards are essentially meat's response to a cheese board, and boy are they good. Chef J makes a point to serve them at special occasions and sometimes, just for a fun dinner.

GIVING AWAY AFTER A SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN LAST YEAR, LIFESTYLE PUBLICATIONS IS GIVING $300,000 TO RECIPIENTS IN NEED THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON AND BEYOND... AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!

ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO ANNA SAROL, THE DAUGHTER OF A SINGLE MOTHER, WAS PARALYZED IN A GYMNASTICS ACCIDENT WHEN SHE WAS A FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL, BUT UNTIL LAST YEAR SHE DID NOT HAVE A STAIRLIFT IN HER HOME. The stairlift was made possible when Lifestyle Publications gave her family $10,000. “I watched my community come together to help me get this equipment to my house, and words can’t explain how appreciative my

family and I are,” Anna says. The money for Anna’s stairlift was part of a giveaway campaign from the company during the 2020 Christmas season that benefited more than 80 recipients across the country with a final distribution of $250,000 throughout the year. When the company opened nominations, they were flooded with submissions. Community leaders such as judges, police officers, teachers, nurses, social workers, mentors and readers like you nominated people that were in need of assistance. As the eyes and ears of the community, these readers were able to help identify people who might have

otherwise gone unnoticed or unrecognized. One such nominee was Kathy*, an aunt who is raising her three young relatives. The children came from an abusive situation, and Kathy, a single guardian, works tirelessly to provide for them. Nevertheless, the family was already living in poverty despite her working seven days a week when Kathy lost her job during the pandemic. She resorted to selling tamales to help pay the rent. When a case manager with a Big Brothers Big Sisters foster youth mentoring program heard about Lifestyle’s campaign and call for nominations, she quickly thought of Kathy. “When I shared the news that Kathy was selected and would be receiving $3,000, she cried, screamed, and was in disbelief,” the case manager said. “She immediately wanted to give back to me and the donor by providing endless tamales. This funding allowed the children to have a small Christmas tree for the first time ever. Kathy was able to pay her rent and utilities for three months, and the children were able to experience a holiday season in peace without financial stressors.” In yet another case, Emily* who worked as a janitor at a school, was a recipient and was struggling to afford simply buying groceries for her children. Before the ongoing difficulties of the pandemic even started, a tornado destroyed the school she worked at just a couple weeks before the initial shutdown in March 2020 which resulted in a loss of income for her. Emily was incredibly surprised and grateful to receive assistance from the giveaway. *Names changed for privacy

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GIVE AWAY $3OO,OOO This year the company will have nominations for the giveaway open from December 1-15, 2021. To submit a nomination, follow @CityLifestyle on Instagram and fill out the form found in the bio link. The amount given to each recipient will be based on need. The leaders of Lifestyle Publications believe God has blessed them with their company’s continued success, so they in turn wish to be a blessing and encouragement to others as they increase the amount of this year’s giveaway to those in need to $300,000 for the year.

HOMETOWN HERO 1 Million Cups

ARTICLE SHANNON BARGHOLS PHOTOGRAPHY SERGIO APARICIO

1 Million Cups WHERE ENTREPRENEURS GO TO LEARN, GROW, AND CONNECT.

WHAT IS 1 MILLION CUPS? 1 Million Cups (1MC) a free program designed to educate, engage and inspire entrepreneurs around the country. It is based on the notion that great ideas are discussed over a million cups of coffee. 1MC is not a pitch platform, nor is it a networking event. It’s simply a chance for 1-2 presenting entrepreneurs to tap into the knowledge and experience of the local community in a focused and encouraging environment. WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT A 1MC EVENT? 1MC takes place at 9 AM every Wednesday morning at Noma Warehouse on Sumter Street in Columbia. During each event, entrepreneurs have just six minutes to present their company or business idea (from newly formed up to 5 years old) to a room full of community members. For the next 20 minutes, the audience will ask questions, provide helpful feedback, and share similar experiences or support. The event concludes with a question posed to the entrepreneur: “What can we as a community do to help you?” WHO IS SPEAKING IN DECEMBER? 12/1 - Shennice Cleckley, Smart Cookie Coaching, LLC
