The dramatic lifestyle change made by the owners of Downtown Rogers Business Mavis WineCo. caught the attention of Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette Profiles Editor, April Wallace, and Photographer, Charlie Kaijo.

Jeffrey Barnett and Meghan McDonald, were busy Hollywood TV and film industry professionals who took breaks each year to visit their NW Arkansas family. The onset of COVID, and the temporary, yet total shut down of TV and film production, gave them a chance to reflect on their California lifestyle and make the move to pursue a well thought out dream of changing careers and leaving the demanding, fast paced entertainment industry to move halfway across the country to Rogers, Arkansas. The Profiles article, found in section D, pages 1 and 2, of the Sunday, January 22 issue explains, "Barnett and McDonald moved to Northwest Arkansas amid the pandemic to open Mavis Wine Co., which since its opening has become Arkansas' first natural wine bar and bottle shop."
