High Spirits: “My current top Champagne is Roger Coulon Heri-Hodie Premier; I’m pretty sure Graft orders it exclusively for me.”
On the Half Shell: “Oysters are part of my weekly regimen: pairing oysters with prosecco is like pairing burgers with fries.“
Fine Threads: “Beyond my own clothing line, I really like local brands The Original Charleo Co. and Sweetgrass Clothing.”
Local Haunts: “I love eating at Pink Bellies. Other good spots are The Palace Hotel, Lowland, Leyla, and Last Saint.”
Cinephile: “I’ve always been a big fan of mafia movies, especially Casino and American Gangster.”
