A Letter from the Editor to the Bold Ones

At Lake and Company, we believe in stories. The kind that pull you into a moment, take you on a journey, and remind you that adventure is never far — you just have to take the leap.

As we celebrate Volume 30, our 10-year milestone, we’re reflecting on what got us here: courage, community, and a deep love for the unknown.

Why We Explore

The path isn’t always straight. It’s winding, filled with rocky moments and unexpected turns. But isn’t that what makes a good story?

Lake and Company Minnesota was built on the idea that life is meant to be lived fully — through outdoor adventures, meaningful connections, and shared experiences. Whether you’re scaling peaks, running a small business, or rediscovering joy in the everyday, you’ll find your story reflected in our pages.

In every issue, we spotlight the dreamers and doers — artists, makers, writers, seekers, and everyday explorers — who aren’t afraid to get a little gritty and go after what sets their soul on fire.

Issue 30: A Decade of Stories, A Lifetime of Purpose

This issue marks a decade of storytelling. It’s a celebration of the people, places, and purpose that shaped our journey — and yours.

Volume 30 is for the bold. The ones who lead with heart, choose curiosity over fear, and believe in building a better world through connection and impact.

Visit our website to read the full Letter from the Editor to get inspired by the message behind the mission — and what makes this issue our most meaningful yet.

At Lake and Company, we love celebrating makers who bring creativity, passion, and purpose into their work. Alec, the creative mind and owner behind NosaSota & Co., is one of those makers. At his core, he is a storyteller—whether through design, conversation, or the flicker of a candle, he has always been drawn to the ways we connect, share, and create meaning in the spaces we call home.

Alec’s journey into candle-making began in March 2020, during a time of uncertainty. What started as a heartfelt gesture—gifting candles to friends on the frontlines—quickly became something more. He wasn’t just making candles; he was capturing feelings, memories, and places in a way that allowed people to hold onto them a little longer.

For Alec, NosaSota & Co. is more than a business—it’s a way to tell stories. Every scent he creates is inspired by the landscapes, experiences, and connections that shape our lives. The crisp air of Gooseberry Falls, the quiet nostalgia of a lakeside cabin, the floral sweetness of the Duluth Rose Garden—each candle holds a story waiting to be shared.

But what Alec loves most about this journey isn’t just the craft itself—it’s the people he’s met along the way. He thrives on hearing their stories, learning about their businesses, and finding ways to translate those experiences into something tangible. There’s something special about capturing a moment in time through scent, knowing that it will spark a memory, a conversation, or a sense of belonging for someone else.

When he’s not crafting new scents or building connections through his work, you’ll find Alec exploring the outdoors with his energetic pup, Teddy, spending time with family and friends, or simply soaking in the beauty of Minnesota—the place that inspires him every day.

So next time you light a NosaSota & Co. candle, know that it’s more than just a fragrance. It’s a story, a connection, and a piece of the Land of 10,000 Lakes—crafted with heart, purpose, and the love of a shared experience. 🌲 ✨

Nestled in the heart of Minnesota, Wooden Link Vineyard is the passion project of owners Sigourney and Kevin, built on legacy, innovation, and a deep connection to the land. Their journey began in 2014, working alongside Sigourney’s stepfather until they fully took over after his passing, honoring his dream while carving out their own path.

The name “Wooden Link” reflects their philosophy of connection—to family, the land, and the craft of winemaking. Dedicated to redefining Minnesota wines, they grow cold-hardy grapes like Marquette, Frontenac, Petite Pearl, Crimson Pearl, Frontenac Blanc, Itasca, Prairie Star, and Louise Swenson, crafting dry wines that stand up to global standards. Their old-world approach lets the fruit shine, producing fresh, aromatic whites and rosés, and complex reds aged in neutral oak.

Starting as grape suppliers, they built their own production facility and released their first wines in 2024. A major milestone came when their 2023 Dry Rosé won Double Gold at the Cold Climate Wine Competition, proving the quality of Minnesota wines. Community support has been vital, from vineyard planting to harvest, fueling their ambition to push the industry forward.

Looking ahead, they’re excited to release their 2023 Marquette Reserve and continue showcasing the uniqueness of Minnesota wines. Their mission is simple: “We’re redefining what Minnesota wines can be, one sip at a time.” 🍇
