avoid the stress of losing a loved one and let us help you to preserve your assets and leave a legacy. Estate planning is not something reserved only for the very wealthy. This is a common misconception among many people—they believe they need to have a hefty portfolio of assets, money, and real estate before making any plans for the future. The truth is estate planning is an important tool for everyone—from a young couple that has just started a family to the senior citizen who is ready to retire. Most people think of estate planning as something that is needed after they die, but a good estate plan can also be useful while you are still living because it can protect your interests in case of incapacitation, say from a car accident. Oren Ross & Associates takes pride in offering estate planning services in a professional and highly customized manner, so you can be confident that your loved ones will be taken care of, regardless of what tomorrow may bring. “I highly recommend using Mr. Ross if you are considering estate planning in the near future. He recently established a revocable living trust for me and I was more than satisfied. The binder that Mr. Ross provided is well-organized and detail-oriented. As an attorney, Mr. Ross is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his field. He explained every detail in terms that, as his client, I could understand. My questions and concerns were always addressed with compassion and in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Ross to friends and family in the future!” ―LINDA M ROSWELL, GA

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE ROSWELL FOR FROM THE EARTH BREWING’S HOME? TIM STEVENS: I have been in the Atlanta restaurant scene since the mid 1990’s. I worked with the Buckhead Life Group at the Buckhead Diner in ‘95 and moved to Nava as a Manager in ‘97. This is where Kevin and I first met. I was quickly promoted to the GM of Nava, and then to multi-store manager for BHLG in 2000 when Pano asked me to take over Chops, Lobster Bar, The Club and Nava. I have been working in restaurants since opening three of my own in Birmingham, AL, before moving back to Atlanta in 2010. In 2010 I came back to Atlanta to work with Jean-Georges Vongerichten at Market and helped develop Cook Hall in the W hotel in Dallas and here in Atlanta. In 2017 Kevin, Peter Kaiser, and I teamed up to open Kaiser’s Chophouse in Sandy Springs, and in late 2017 I opened From the Earth Brewing Company.

Another traditional Italian summer snack is soft daily bread and salami. Our Tuscan salami is amazing, but my favorite is our Finocchiona. It is a fennel seasoned salami. At our shops back home we just gather the wild fennel from the fields around our farm to season the meat as it ages. In this way, you truly get the flavors of the land around Siena and Florence, which is why we named our company Dana Gurela, Deep Roots

DG: One thing we had not envisioned when developing our concept was the use of Napa Technology Wine Station machines. Just prior to opening, my husband and I were visiting Kiawah Island and popped into a wine bar that had these machines. We had an absolute blast going on a selfguided tasting adventure. We had an “ah-ha” moment and knew this would be key to our business. These machines allow us to have 32 wines open and available for tasting every day without the risk of spoilage. Our guests can choose a 1 oz, 3 oz, or 6 oz pour of each wine. They can taste wines and know if they like them before investing in a bottle. The wines in our machines are constantly changing. We try to feature a variety of price points and styles to fit a wide variety of budgets and palates. Typically, we have four rosés, 12 whites, and 16 reds available for tasting. We also Libby Slater, Christy Stargel, Filippo, Eddie Gurela and a gorgeous cut from Terra di Siena. 20

You're one of Roswell's biggest fans. How do you see the city changing and evolving in the next year? We love the central location Roswell offers, with close proximity to malls,

restaurants and attractions, and ease of access to GA400 and I-85. Roswell has so much to offer when it comes to food and activities, there is never an evening where we have a hard time deciding what to do. Regarding change, the dramatic increase of apartment communities and residential home construction will defi-

nitely impact traffic, bringing challenges.

What makes your team uniquely poised to help buyers and sellers reach their dreams? Real estate agents are a dime a dozen, but a real estate agent who gives personal

attention and honest services—that’s Six Degrees Consulting. Clients in need of buy-

ing and/or selling under voluntary or involuntary circumstances can turn to us. As a residential and commercial real estate broker, I am committed to giving unparalleled dedication to every client. My team understands real estate and concentrates on the desired outcome for clients. We work to find your best future—not the best sale for us.

Where do you like to grab lunch, coffee and a nice dinner? We have a lot of favorites in Roswell…Butcher & Brew, Dreamland and

Smokejack BBQ, Table & Main, and From The Earth Brewing to name a few. Cafe Au Lait and Ground and Pound are awesome, locally-owned breakfast spots and perfect for morning meetings.

The market is on fire now and you're in the thick of it. The current climate we are in is unlike any the Atlanta and Roswell markets have

seen in years. The combination of low-interest rates, high lumber prices, low inventory and a general desire to move out of urban areas adds up to a sellers’ market, with homes receiving multiple offers and many times above asking price. We forecast this trend to last until around next spring.
