LIFESTYLE LETTER

Love Reno

February 2024 PUBLISHER

Mike McCarthy | mike.mccarthy@citylifestyle.com M AN AG I N G E D I TO R

Nora Heston Tarte | nora.tarte@citylifestyle.com

Ahhhhhh, February! More gifts, more cards, and impossible dinner reservations. Didn’t we just finish the holidays!? This time of year I always find myself torn between resisting the commercialization of another greeting card holiday and spoiling my loved ones in the spirit of the season. This year, I’ve decided to ignore the noise and focus on the latter. It doesn’t have to be big but it has to be meaningful, like a nice cup of coffee and a morning hike with my wife around the trails of Ballardini Ranch. Maybe a lunch date and a homecooked dinner to round things out followed by a simple present, a celebration of our love and the life we’ve built together. “Love local” means your local businesses, and those in your community, but it also means loving what is near, starting with those under your own roof. So grab dinner at one of Reno’s one-of-a-kind eateries and head home for a game night around the fire with the family. Or snag a bottle of wine and some cheese from your favorite spot and indulge in a movie night. We’ve always believed what we can do together is so much more than what we can do apart. And we continue to see that demonstrated through the many stories told in these pages month after month. Thanks for letting us be a part of the life you’re building, whatever that may look like. Our hope is that we inspire you to love it just a bit more than you did before. Happy February!

Flying High DAVID WISE PREPS FOR ANOTHER SEASON ON THE SLOPES

ARTICLE BY DAN ECKLES

M UST SE E | FI TNES S

David Wise sold his motorcycle because he knew his appetite for speed might be fed just a little too much on two wheels. Base Jumping? Yeah, he thinks that sounds fun, too. If you called Wise an adrenaline junkie, he couldn’t really argue with you. In fact, the two-time Olympic champion in halfpipe freestyle skiing would probably agree. He may be self-aware enough to stay away from some risky activities, but he still loves a high-flying life on skis. His family members all went the alpine skiing route, but they knew from a young age David was a jet and his future was in freestyle. “I started skiing at Sky Tavern. My dad was the president there,” Wise says. “He raced Alpine. My older sisters raced alpine and went on to race in college. That was the pedigree of the family, but that wasn’t for me. What made me fall in love with skiing was the ability to be in complete control while going very fast. I think it was inevitable that I would combine my love for skiing and my love for being in the air.” Wise has certainly turned that passion into a successful career. Halfpipe skiing debuted in the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. He won the gold medal in that inaugural Olympic competition. Four years later he bested the competition to win gold again in PyeongChang, South Korea. He followed back-to-back Olympic wins with a silver medal at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games. He’s also a four-time freestyle halfpipe champion at the Winter X Games, including just last year. While Wise has experienced plenty of success, he’s also paid the price for it in terms of injuries. He’s torn the ACL in his left knee twice, he suffered a spiral fracture of his right femur in 2019, and last spring he tore the ACL in his right knee. This most recent major injury happened on the final competitive run of his 2023 season—halfway around the globe at the World Championships in Bakuriani, Georgia.

Wise figures if he had to get injured it might as well be on the last run, instead of earlier when it would’ve stolen a chunk of his season. “That was the last contest of the season in March. We’re coming up on nine months (recovery),” Wise says. “Getting injured is never ideal, but if you do get injured, the last run is probably the best time.” What wasn’t good was an offseason of rehabilitation, building strength and simultaneously training for 2024. And yet, Wise and his long-time trainer Max McManus take it all in stride and embrace the climb. The two have been hard at work over the past nine months prepping the freestyle veteran for the new competitive ski season, which began in early December. Wise, a graduate of Reno’s Wooster High School, first started working with McManus when he was 13 years old. Five years later, Wise entered the professional ranks. Throughout a 20-year career, they’ve become about as familiar as you can get for an athlete and strength coach. Wise admits his chosen profession can be a costly one, but he’s quick to admit his relationship with McManus has helped him overcome many physical setbacks. “That’s the fun part, having such a long history training with Max. I’ve been training with Max for 20 years. That makes me feel old,” he quips. “What’s cool is when you know your strength coach so well, it’s like you don’t miss a beat. I had surgery on March 16, and I was back in the gym a week later. It was just like training for a regular offseason. The protocol was adjusted but the timing was the same.” Wise stressed that the amount of weight and resistance for exercises is much different for training in years where injury rehab is front and center. But as far as when he started prepping for a new season and the goal to be as good as ever by the conclusion of preseason training, that’s all the same. He said the total work is not much different year to year, just the kind of work.

“What’s cool is when you know your strength coach so well, it’s like you don’t miss a beat.”

M UST SE E | FI TNES S

“The rules of the training game are dependent on surgery and healing. Everyone heals at a different rate, but the rule is to not hurt something that’s been repaired,” McManus says. “Capitalizing on the healing rate has so much to do with metabolism. Range of motion, blood flow, all of those modalities go into the curriculum of how to increase the quality and speed of healing. “If you look at the average recovery of a procedure, in this case an ACL and a third one, more or less it’s like one year. At that point you are structurally there, but are you strong enough to compete at the level you’ve competed? The fact that David knows me so well and where we’re going with this style of treatment, he’s ready to compete in 7-8 months, instead of 12. And we’re not skipping steps. We’re just that good at post-op rehab. We have it down that well and he’s that receptive because he’s staying in great shape.” And Wise knows a little something about beating rehab’s timing odds. He tore his ACL in April 2012, but was back on the slopes for the X Games in January of 2013. Not only did he turn around and compete in eight months, he won the freestyle ski competition in the halfpipe. Wise proudly points out that is a U.S. Ski Team record for the shortest gap between major surgery and a win. “When I came back at X Games 2013, everybody laughed, but I laughed all the way to the bank because I won,” Wise says. “This time around, everyone’s been saying I’ll probably be back by mid-February. I say, ‘Did you guys forget I’ve done this before.’ We’re writing our own book here.” Of course, when Wise turned the cat-quick rehab trick in time for X Games 2013, he was 23. At 33, will his body respond the same way? Even he’s not sure. The Reno native wanted to be back competing against his foes as soon as possible, but he’s still taking a wise approach. He did not compete in the season-opening event in China in early December to give his body a little more time to mend. He waited until mid-December,

when the pro circuit came to Copper Mountain, CO. Wise, was right back in the mix, finishing fifth at the Toyota U.S. Grand Prix event. “Our approach to my comeback has not been to get back quickly,” Wise says. “It’s more like, I can, so I will. I get to show people what can be done. Recovery is possible. We have proved it in the past. I feel good, so why not? I don’t feel like I have to be the fastest guy back, but I can be.” The rehabilitation process from ACL surgery is generally long and arduous, but the way McManus explains it, the process is not overly complex. “We’ll take notes. We’ll compare the surgically repaired limb to the other limb,” the long-time trainer says. “We’re very thorough before we go to another level of advancement. We don’t fit things into a calendar. We just see if he can pass a test.” So, with another offseason of rehab and training in the books and a new competitive season underway, what does the future hold for Wise? The married father of two has no immediate plans to slow down. He wants to compete in the 2026 Olympic Winter Games to be held in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. While he loves flying through the air faster than any human should while spinning on multiple axes, he says he’ll be ready to move on when his body or the skis tell him to shut it down. “If you put a gun to my head tomorrow and told me I had to retire from halfpipe skiing, I’d say, ‘OK.’ From 2018 on, when I repeated as a gold medal winner, I’ve told myself I accomplished more than I ever dreamed. The rest has been the bonus realm. And that’s a comfortable space to be in. I approach everything now with an ‘I get to do this’ attitude. I don’t have to. That helps me not be stressed about the end.” “I don’t want to have this slow fade where I hang on a little too long and people say I should’ve quit earlier. I want to be wise enough to recognize when that time comes, so I can say ‘young athletes, the game is yours now… but we haven’t reached that point yet!”

THE spirit OF JEREMY RENNER

RENO - LOC A L REN N ER BU YS INTO SWEET GRASS VODKA

C ULIN A RY C R E AT ION S | F OOD + BE VE RAGE

ARTICLE BY NORA HESTON TARTE PHOTOGRAPHY BY SWEET GRASS VODKA

Combining celebrity with spirits is trending in Hollywood. George Clooney is part-owner in Casamigos, Ryan Reynolds has a hand in Aviation Gin, and Matthew McConaughey represents his home state of Texas through Wild Turkey’s Longbranch Bourbon. And these A-listers don’t just represent the brand, they have put their money (quite literally) where their mouth is, dabbling in alcohol ownership. Jeremy Renner, perhaps best known for his portrayal of Hawkeye in the Marvel Universe, and of course a fellow Renoite, joined the ranks when he started working with Sweet Grass Vodka in July of 2023, becoming partowner with Jarrod and Alicia Swanger. "It's something I have been wanting to do for a long time, but I am very picky about anything I brand with,” Renner says about getting into the spirits game. “It has to fit perfectly or I just don't do it. I do this because it represents a lot of who I am. It's got to just be an easy layup for me that way. It has got to be congruent with my morals, so I am lucky that the brand really fits me." In addition to his behind-the-scenes efforts, Renner has also become the face of the brand, gracing ad campaigns and social media posts for the Charleston-based vodka company. He even embarked on a cross-country tour promoting the brand in 2023.

“THEIR MISSION IS ROOTED IN COMMUNITY AND SHARED EXPERIENCE, WHICH IS WHY THE second I TRIED IT, I knew I WANTED TO BECOME A PART OF IT.” — JEREMY RENNER CONTINUED >

The vodka is 100% potato-based and made from the Swanger’s Polish family recipe. Sweet Grass Vodka prides itself on not using artificial ingredients in the distilling process. And, while the brand is rooted in South Carolina, recent distribution has brought Sweet Grass Vodka to Renner’s hometown—Reno, Nev.—as of January. “Their mission is rooted in community and shared experience, which is why the second I tried it, I knew I wanted to become a part of it,” Renner says. The vodka gets its name from its distilling process. In addition to using 100% continuously distilled potato vodka from Charleston, every bottle also contains a single strand of South Carolina grass to bring a piece of Charleston to consumers around the world. “Our vodka is free of additives, artificial flavors, gluten-free, and made from only potatoes, water, and yeast,” says Jarrod, the brand’s CEO. In addition to South Carolina and Nevada, where the owners are based, Sweet Grass Vodka is also distributed across the Southeast, Texas, and Illinois, as well as available direct to consumers through the website. When Jeremy joined Sweet Grass, the Swangers had already been operating the company for a couple of years. They met Jeremy through his agency in 2021, and there was an instant connection. “He shares a lot of the core values of our brand including the power of experience, highest quality craftsmanship, and above all, family,” Jarrod says. "I have found that my time is a little bit more valuable now after my accident,” Jeremy reflects. “We were already working together before the accident. But I just felt like, I was really clear about how I want to spend my time, and who I want to spend my time with. This to me feels like family.”

Wellness Warrior & Business Savant CONNECTING WITH THE OWNER OF DOLCE VITA WELLNESS SPA

Nyla Allen glides through the wide, luxurious hallways of Dolce Vita, the spa she helped design during the pandemic and later brought to life. Allen thrives off her attention to detail and ability to integrate a business mindset with thoughtful touches to make your wellness journey both personable and healing.

Nyla Allen After a successful career in real estate in her 20s, she branched into the world of wellness and never looked back. Her spa projects include Dolce Vita, which she has owned and operated for over 10 years, as well as consulting on The Refuge Spa, which opened in 2020, inside the Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel. She says the two spas are like the sun and moon: Dolce Vita is light and organic while The Refuge is moody and modern. Dolce Vita moved to its current location in 2021 and sits serenely across the lake from the historic Rancharrah mansion. Not only is the facility itself absolutely stunning, but its employees go above and beyond to craft a remarkable spa experience. That’s because Nyla goes above and beyond for them. Staff members are treated like a guests once a month to not only give them much needed TLC, but also give them a client perspective on self care. “Our people are what make us successful,” says Nyla and smiles. “It’s the secret sauce.” And when she says she values connection, she means it. My interview with her was calming, thorough, and she even took the time to ask me about myself, an uncommon (but appreciated) route for an interview.

Q: HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH WELLNESS? A: I have a varied background in both psychology and business so what that did for me is give me the ability to see, feel, read, and understand people on a connection level… and intermix that with business. After working in real estate, I did go on to own a manufacturing company, which taught me big business and ideas, but I settled into the wellness world. I got my massage therapy license after seeking out different models of care being sick as a child and truly finding my own ways to calm and soothe the body through stillness. It was a natural path to go into massage and wanting to offer that [healing] to others. Q: WHAT’S DISTINCT ABOUT DOLCE VITA? A: There is so much... from the day spa to the medspa. To start, all of our med spa nurses are certified nurse practitioners, which means they have that extra level of training and expertise. The ingredients and products we use are of the highest quality. I’ve traveled the world and had treatments in many areas to ensure we’re using the best of the best. We also have one of seven Vichy tables in the United States. Q: WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE TREATMENT TO RECEIVE? A: My all-time favorite is our Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage. Q: I KNOW YOU MAY NOT HAVE TIME FOR MANY HOBBIES OUTSIDE OF BUSINESS OWNER AND MOM, BUT ANYTHING ELSE THAT TAKES UP YOUR FREE TIME? A: Latin dance, diving, and family. Dance is a beautiful way to incorporate movement into your life. And diving, well, I think I was born in the ocean. Q: TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR FAMILY. A: Well, we’re a spa family. I have an incredible husband and blended family.

“There’s such a passion in an entrepreneur’s heart,” -- Nyla Allen, owner of Dolce Vita Wellness Spa CONTINUED >

My younger daughters even have spa birthday parties, complete with robes and face masks. This is definitely the inspiration for providing youth services at Dolce Vita. It’s about teaching kids to care for themselves, with the ability to calm the mind and body. Q: HOW DO YOU BALANCE IT ALL, CARING FOR OTHERS AND CARING FOR YOURSELF? A: While balance is something we wish to attain, it doesn’t mean all aspects of your life are always equal. Your focus at different points in your life must be different. It’s about channeling your focus, balancing passion and grit with priority and intention. Q: WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE DOWN THE PIPELINE? A: We’re just opening our mobile med spa, which is a unique thing to not only Reno but Northern Nevada and beyond. The goal is to bring wellness, healing, and peace to you.

Where do you go for a date in Reno? WE HIT THE STREETS AND ASKED LOC ALS WHERE THE Y TAKE A PARTNER FOR THEIR FAVORITE DATE SPOT IN TOWN.

ARTICLE BY BRITTON GRIFFITH

In the New Year we wanted to hear where people are sparking romance around Reno. With so many new restaurants, event spaces, and cocktail lounges, we narrowed down the best of the best to plan your next love outing.

LOCA LS ON LY | L I FE + C U LT U RE

Me ag an & B ra n don C rowe l l , Vi ce P res i den t , S i e rra G o l d Sea food, I n c. “We love the food, the fun, and casual atmosphere [at Miguel’s Mexican Restaurant], the booths for the kids, the margaritas for the adults, and the fact that we’re supporting a local business. We can take the whole family, get great and easy takeaway options, or do a couple’s cocktail happy hour. It’s great having an option for any occasion, every day of the week.”

Nathan D igangi, Econo m ic D eve lopme nt Manage r, D owntow n Re no Partners hip Amy B urke tt , Owne r, B reath e Bar, Midtow n ”My favorite date night restaurant is Arario in Midtown! Not only is the food absolutely amazing and creative and the staff is the absolute best. They make sure you feel comfortable and have fun! It’s my go-to date night at least once a month.”

D o n ny We l s h , Stu den t , Un ive rs i t y of Nevada

“Best place to go on a date in Reno is downtown of course. Here’s my top 5. Tapas and pinball. Tapas at Sierra St Kitchen are great because you can have as much or as little as you want and try different things. Then head over to Playfield 76 for some pinball and other games. Looking for a nightcap? Check out a downtown speakeasy like Shim’s or Thirsty’s. Antipasto and axes. Try the chef’s selections at Liberty and go next door to throw some axes. Or keep it a little more relaxed with a movie. Pet friendly. Get some food on the pet friendly patio at Wild River Grill before going to the Eddy for yard games and drinks. For the intellectual. Browse for literature at Sundance Books, visit the exhibits at the Nevada Museum of Art, then go for a nice dinner at Washoe Public House!”

“[10 Torr Distilling and Brewing] has the best drink prices for a little bit nicer of a place so if you are buying then you don’t have to break the bank and if you’re not buying you don’t have to feel bad! There are games you can play if the conversation dies out. If the date is going well, don’t worry the music isn’t super loud so you can talk without screaming. You can also take items to go if you find a drink you love.” FEB R UARY 2 0 2 4 | C I TYL I FE STYL E. C O M / R E N O

CHRISTIA N OKUINGHTTONS RECOMMENDS WINES TO IMPRESS THIS VA LENTINE’S DAY

Sommelier Selects Christian O’Kuinghttons, Sommelier d’Hotel and Cellar Master at Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, has hand-selected five wines to impress your date this Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re a white wine drinker with a taste for lesser-known varietals or prefer red wine that pairs with food, there’s a sipper for you on the list. All of the wines are available by the glass at Bistro Napa and Atlantis Steakhouse, or you can track down a bottle for home.

2016 TUCK BECKSTOFFER “MELEE” GRENACHE

GRAN MORAINE BRUT ROSE

Hailing from the Russian River Valley, O’Kuinghttons says this Emeritus wine can be best described as sexy. Pair it with blackened salmon or Chilean sea bass.

This pretty pink sparkler from the Willamette Valley was created from a blend of pinot noir and chardonnay grapes. It is balanced, ripe, and floral, with light fruit and flavors of toasted brioche and mascarpone.

2021 ÜRZIGER WÜRZGARTEN RIESLING KABINETT “ALTE REBEN”

This off-dry, semi-sweet German wine offers palatable acidity and a touch of sweetness without unbalancing savory dishes.

This California-grown wine is heavy in dark fruits such as elderberry and boysenberry, with undertones of cherry, and a mild aroma of toast. It pairs well with salmon, petit filet, prime rib, and foie gras. Order it in place of a Pinot Noir.

2020 EMERITUS VINEYARDS “HALLBERG RANCH” PINOT NOIR

2021 VENGE VINEYARDS “SCOUT’S HONOR” PROPRIETARY RED BLEND

This red blend is predominantly zinfandel with charbono, petite sirah, and syrah. Made with fruit grown in Napa, it offers a lighter approach to a red blend with aromas of port and chocolate that give way to flavors of ripe, dark fruit.

“[Valentine’s Day] is tension in the air... and that tension is somebody trying to impress.”
