Long before K. Rocke Interior Design was even a thought, young Kristin Rocke was perusing furniture stores and fantasizing about elegant furnishings and how to include them in beautiful and artistic spaces. Her interests led to becoming an NCIDQ Interior Designer and then to her dream to be a business owner, and she’s come an astonishingly long way since. K. Rocke Interior Design has been completing interiors for 15 years, with a bi-coastal and global array of uniquely designed and influential interiors. “I have done work that I am very proud of, but today I am having so much fun doing some of the best work of my career with clients I adore,” Kristin says, “I am never short on ideas or solutions and often the design just reveals itself—sometimes even knowing or anticipating what my client needs before they do, and giving them what they want before they know that’s what they want.”

The origin of these Park City craft spirits was during a casual porch conversation between Sara Sergent and her husband, Rob. While taking in the alpenglow over the Wasatch mountains, the couple discussed their desires to create something as beautiful as the place they call home. The two must possess a magic formula, because as the sun was setting, Sara issued a challenge to Rob which, with his culinary background, was to turn the view of the sunset over the Swaner Nature Preserve into flavor. Rob began crafting a series of recipes that not only tasted amazing, but would become the catalyst for a new business. A little over two years ago the couple opened Alpine Distilling to the public, creating locally crafted spirits rooted in heritage with a love for the beauty of Utah.

So, inspired by nature and with Rob’s long-standing family background in distilling, they set a goal to craft delicious, award-winning spirits. Sara traveled to Edinburgh, Scotland to learn to make gin and bringing her new knowledge back to Park City, they started making history from their own handmade stills. Alpine Distilling created the first private-label gin, Barrel Select, for St. Regis Deer Valley, along with thousands of custom gins for guests at their micro-distillery on Main Street in Park City.  Their “Summit Gin” has won numerous awards internationally including double gold (SIP Awards), 2019 London Spirit Awards Best American Gin and #2 in the World Spirits Competition. Sara’s own “Barrel Select” recently took the Gold at the Women’s Wine and Spirit Awards in London. Alpine Distilling has crafted a complete line up of international award-winning spirits including gin, vodka, whiskey and liqueurs.

Alpine Distilling emphasizes being green with vigilant recycling efforts and by donating spent grains and botanicals to local agriculture projects. Most describe Sara as self-driven and her actions say that loudly—she’s the mother of three boys and has worked hard to gain the education, experience and skills necessary to wear several hats at once. She shines while wearing them. Needing bags and caps for the distillery prompted her newest business, Mountain Flower Apparel, eco-friendly screen printing, an endeavor which is both very hands-on and green-certified as well. 

A woman’s place is…

In the home, in the boardroom and in the distillery, Sara does it all and wishes to inspire her boys as well as those around her. “Whatever you want to accomplish, you need to sink your teeth fully into it,” she says, while fully crediting the support of her husband, Rob. “He’s my biggest fan.”

Yo ho ho and a bottle of gin!

Sara’s husband is a multi-generation distiller from Kentucky and shiver me timbers—her dad’s family traces its lineage back to the infamous Grace O’Malley—an Irish pirate from the early 1500s.

EmieJames opened its doors two years ago with the chosen theme, “Celebrate Life and Home.” The shop is full of gifts for all ages and styles. They carry beautiful and funky jewelry to celebrate life’s moments, darling kitchen bowls and platters, home décor, and fresh seasonal florals arrangements. “Our hope is to go beyond just the transaction,” Marne’ Grange explains. “We offer monthly workshops and cooking demos and strive to evolve with our customers’ needs and wishes.”

Owners Marné Grange, Emily Hogg and Lisa Pack came together to combine each individual’s strengths and talents. Marné, a marketing graduate from Weber State University, leads their social media and website EmieJames.com. “We include a handwritten note and a bag of candy with every online order shipped,” said Marné.

“We are so lucky to have Lisa on our team,” said Emily. “Her twenty years of experience as a jewelry rep and knowledge of current trends guarantees that customers can always find something new and different.”

As a wedding consultant, floral designer and interior decorator, Emily Hogg combines her talents to assure that customers get a personalized experience. “Each wedding, floral arrangement and home has a story. Finding the heart of these stories inspires me to choose details and nuances that are personal and relevant to each individual customer.”

It takes three.

The three partners are true valley girls. ”Growing up in Eden, we have a deep love for our community and valley,” says Lisa. As a fun fact, Lisa and Marne’ are mother and daughter and the Victorian-styled house which is now EmieJames was once Emily’s childhood home.

Wrap it Up.

Yes, they do gift wrap. A signature black and white striped ribbon and a sprig of fresh greenery go on every gift-wrapped treasure.
