THE PROVENÇAL FEAST

Remembering Julia • When Julia Reed died in August, the South lost one of its richest voices and most talented chroniclers. Author of numerous books and magazine articles, Julia’s subject matter ranged from presidential politics to pimento cheese, always peppered with her trademark wit, razor-sharp analysis, and mastery at bringing the reader along for the ride with a good story. She was the life of any party but loved nothing more than giving one, including a Christmas luncheon she and Keith Meacham co-hosted for the Garden Club of Nashville in Keith’s home last December. Here, Keith, her dear friend and business partner in the online shop Reed Smythe & Company, shares memories and a few of the entertaining lessons she learned from Julia over the years.
