BEAUTY BOSS, TATA HARPER
Tata Harper --- natural, complex, uncompromising, ideal. Words that describe both the luxury clean skincare brand and the woman who created it and gave it her name. Tata Harper skincare cracked the code on natural preservatives and emulsi ers to produce cleansers, moisturizers, creams, serums, masks that deliver 100% toxic-free richness. It’s no surprise that the brand is a leader in the next generation of beauty. Tata herself is a trailblazer. She saw the need for chemical-free skincare a decade ago and dedicated herself to meeting that need. It was a delight to sit down with her in her New Canaan home, after she returned from 6 months in Vermont, to talk about Tata Harper--the woman and the company.

Tata, I know you were educated as an industrial engineer at Tecnologico de Monterrey, the MIT of Mexico. ere must have been many areas you could have focused on. Why a skincare company?
My step father was diagnosed with cancer. I went with him to his doctors and listened to what they were telling him. While I had always been a health enthusiast, I now realized that the scope of the decisions you make every single day - what you put in your body, on your body - a ects your health. All of a sudden, I’m here with doctors talking about toxic load. I looked at my toxic load.
I started changing everything about the products I used. I started to buy organic food and cleaning products, and use organic dry cleaners. Really skincare was the last frontier for me.
I’m Latina, I’m Colombian. I was inculcated with the idea that personal care is really important….not only about how you look, but also about how you feel. It’s a little bit of a sacred ritual in our culture. Beauty is not seen as a chore, it was a way of taking care of yourself.
But now, I wanted to switch to something natural. ere were no “so-called” natural products out there that had the richness and complexity of what I had been using. None spoke to customers like me, who wanted high end, high quality, and high tech. In fact, they were not even totally natural. I was used to using very advanced skin care and could not nd anything natural that would really work for me.
I searched the big department stores. ey showed me products with botanicals. However, when I turned the box around, I saw that these botanicals actually were mixed with tons of synthetic industrial chemicals. Ingredients no one ever talks about because they are not active ingredients. ey were ingredients like propylene glycol, an emollient similar to one used in antifreeze. Chemicals that belong more in my car’s engine than on my face.
How did you get from there to here….from having the idea to now having the company?
e challenge wasn’t an easy one. I was married at the time to my business partner and Co-CEO Henry Harper. (Henry and I continue to work together to build the brand and business we have today.)

My focus was on R&D and product development. I knew we needed to build formulas from scratch. We needed to nd natural replacements for parabens, for phenoxyethanol, and for all the myriad of synthetic industrial chemicals used in making skin care products. We have a large farm near Middlebury, Vermont. We’ve owned the farm for 18 years and lived there full time before moving to New Canaan. Most of the ingredients in our products are grown on our farm. We selectively bring in additional ingredients from around the world as needed. I comprised a team of scientists (all female!) and together we spent ve years perfecting our formulas. We turned the 3 large barns into a production facility.

In fact, all of our products are made in our barns in Vermont. Nothing is outsourced. It’s this hands-on craftsmanship that guarantees the products’ purity and freshness. We keep our quantities manageable to ensure consistency of the highest level of quality. I am very hands on. Henry has his pilots’ license, which makes it easier for me and the rest of the team to get back and forth from Vermont quickly on a regular basis.
Tata’s New Canaan office is separated from the main space in the house by a large breezeway, but still close enough to keep an eye and ear on the kids.

Why New Canaan?
I purchased a house in New Canaan about two years ago. I did not want to live in New York City, but wanted to be near it. I work closely with my lab and production teams in Vermont, but some of my other teams need me elsewhere. Global business needs - retailers, clients, press meetings from Dubai to South Africa to China - made it di cult for me to be based solely in Vermont. I would spend a lot of time in airports - way too much time! I also needed to spend a lot of time in New York. I needed to live in a place that is relatively close to major airports.
Space.NK was our rst retailer here in the US. I remember coming to their New Canaan store and falling in love with the town. I remember going to Rosie for a bite to eat. I have always loved this area and have lots of friends in Bedford.
A friend of mine lives in South Salem. She introduced me to an amazing agent, Hannelore Kaplan. Hannelore had helped her nd her home. I was actually looking in both Bedford and New Canaan, but my need was special. I wanted a house with a set up that could accommodate both my family and my business. I knew it was a tall order, but Hannelore came through for me! She found me the perfect home. It felt right from the beginning. Not only is the set up ideal, but within a few minutes I can be in the woods that remind me of Vermont. I’m surrounded by natural beauty here.

Your home is full of energy and love, I can feel it, sitting here. Did I count 6 dogs?
You did! I have two German Shepherds...Wallace 13, Archie 1; one Labradoodle, Maxwell 3; one Lagotto Romagnolo, Vito 4; two English Cream Dachshunds, Coco and Gio six months. I’ve always had lots of pets in my life.
What do you enjoy best about this area?
ere is so much that I love! In addition to running a business, I am also a mother of 3 school age children-- two daughters (Tata Mia and Grace Paloma) and a son (Hunter). I am a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a niece. My sister Carolina works with me in New Canaan. She’s a graphic designer and illustrator for the digital team. Henry has a place a few miles away, also in New Canaan. Hunter plays hockey nearby. It’s also easy to get to Vermont where I spend a lot of time with the kids - especially in the summer. I’m close with my family in Barranquilla. Because of the proximity to the airports and Jet Blue ights to Cartagena, I can even take my children to Colombia for long weekends.
Family is everything to me and this area is all about family. e people who live here are warm and welcoming. My children and I have made the most amazing friends. e schools, the parks, are great for the kids. I love entertaining family and friends. Dinners at the Inn at Pound Ridge are the best. We take our bikes and go to Grace Farms. We walk the trails at Irwin Park. We are in town a lot… we eat at Sole, shop at Space.NK, and the kids pick out their clothing at Groove. Really, what’s not to love?

ANDREW TOW
CALIFORNIA WINEMAKER POUND RIDGE RESIDENT
BY: GEOFF KALISH
e usual quip to anyone thinking of starting a winery is, ‘If you want to make a small fortune in a winery, be sure to start with a large one’. Against all odds, Andrew Tow, long-time Pound Ridge resident, has succeeded in not only starting a successful California winery but in winning critical acclaim and numerous awards for his wines.
On a recent sunny Sunday in the Tow’s beautifully landscaped gardens, I met with Andrew and his wife Kathleen, to nd out how he’s managed to live at his lifelong home with his family (the Tow’s three adult children are now out of the house) at the same time as he manages to run a growing Sonoma Valley winery…and to get to taste some of his recent releases to see if they warrant the accolades of past vintages.

Before we get into a discussion of the winery, I have a few questions about your connection to the local community. As I gather, you’re still living in your childhood house in Pound Ridge?
Yes. Although I was born in Brooklyn, my family had this house as a weekend retreat. We moved here permanently when I was 12, and I attended Fox Lane Middle School and High School.
Any particular notable memories from growing up here?
Well, I’m in love with nature, so I spent a lot of time with friends in the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, shing in local ponds and streams, and looking for critters in the woods. And I remember the many activities that my parents always had going on at this house. My mother was involved with the local garden club and ambulance corps and liked to have her fellow volunteers over to where we’re sitting right now. I’m still close with a few friends from middle and high school and we reminisce often.
What are some of your favorite local restaurants or other hangouts?
We go to or grab take out from the Inn at Pound Ridge, Elm, South End, North Star and DiNardo’s. All have generously supported e Withers.
What was your reason for starting the winery and how has it gone?
Although my parents weren’t into wine, I’ve always enjoyed it. About 18 years ago we met winemaker David Low, of Anthill Farms, whose wines I really liked. We became friends, and in exchange for me teaching him to y sh - one of my passions - he taught me how to make wine. I made about 1,000 bottles at David’s winery, purely for personal consumption and to give to friends. Everyone really liked it, so I eventually took it around to a few local and New York City wine shops and asked them what they thought. Everyone was positive, including wine distributor Michael Skurnik. So, in 2013, with Low and another friend, Tyson Freeman, who sources the grapes and assists Low making the wine, I launched e Withers. I got some nancing from a few early partners, including friends from my life spent loving music, Derek Trucks, Susan Tedeschi and all three Followill brothers, who are the Kings of Leon. ey are all wine lovers and big supporters of our label.
e wines are made using grapes carefully selected from premier vineyards in high elevation, cool climate sites in Anderson and Green Valleys, Mendocino County, the Sierra Foothills and the Sonoma Coast. We strive to make wines that are food-friendly, understated, low alcohol, yet deeply avored. We accomplish this through minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing native yeast fermentations that include whole clusters, and then age the wine almost exclusively in neutral oak so as not to manipulate avors or aromas. We bottle without ning or ltering, again preferring to avoid altering the wines in any way.
We were “discovered” when the Wall Street Journal proclaimed our debut Rosé as one of the best of the year just after we launched in 2014, which put us on the map almost immediately. Other highly regarded critics then found, and started writing about, our wines
Author, Geo Kalish, Andrew & Kathleen Tow, and B&NC Mag Publisher, Michael Kaplan tasting The Withers
as well, culminating with e Withers being named one of the Top 100 Wineries. More recently, e Wall Street Journal wrote a feature on me and our story, and then named our Rosé #1 in the U.S. just a few months ago. We now produce about 5,000 cases a year and are distributed in 31 states and 3 other countries. We have a robust wine club and website on which anyone can purchase our wines. I don’t have any employees, so I split my time between Pound Ridge, California, and visits to all the states in which we distribute.
How do you manage to live here and run the winery in California?
Kathleen really deserves all the credit. Her support has made it possible for me to devote so much time and attention to my personal passion, which ultimately became my full time occupation. It wouldn’t have been possible without her encouragement.

And what does the name of the winery and drawings of a horse on all the labels signify?
e withers are the point on a horse’s body from which their height is measured. I loved the lyrical sound of the term, but also the connection to measurement, and the aspiration for height in both winemaking and equestrian pursuits. It’s really a tribute to Kathleen and our daughters Olivia and Grace, who are all horse lovers and active riders. Kathleen, and occasionally our children, are ambassadors for the winery. e horse depicted on our label is based on a painting by a young local artist, Alanna Purdy, and it’s of our 24-yearold Connemara pony, named Mr. Burgess. Kathleen still rides him almost every day.
How have coronavirus and the recent spate of California wild res a ected winery operations?
Before the advent of coronavirus most of our sales were to the wholesale market for restaurants and wine shops, with the remainder coming from website sales and wine club memberships. As you can imagine, this year has

been a real challenge due to widespread restaurant closures and limited in person retail shopping. ankfully, we have a loyal and growing base of customers purchasing wine directly from the winery, and this saved us during the pandemic. We have had wild res near our vineyards and winemaking cooperative three out of the last four years, but luckily we’ve been spared, and all our grapes have come in safely and looking perfect.
Great, now let’s taste a few of your current releases!
2019 El Dorado Estate Rosé ($21)
Reminiscent of a French Bandol wine, it shows a bouquet and taste of ripe peaches and watermelon with a lemony acidity in its long nish. More than just for sipping, this wine mates well with sh, like tuna and sword sh.
2018 English Hill Pinot Sonoma Coast Noir ($51)
It has a oral bouquet and full, rich taste of cranberries, plums and notes of herbs in its smooth nish. Great with a wide range of fare, from turkey and chicken, to steak and lamb.
2016 Claire’s Vineyard Mendocino County Pinot Noir ($47)
is powerful wine, named in honor of Andrew’s mother and because he felt it was a one-of-a-kind special vintage from a great vineyard, shows a bouquet and taste of ripe black cherries with hints of rosemary. Serve it with grilled sh, baked chicken and even pork chops.
2017 Mr. Burges - El Dorado ($43)
A Syrah Blend made in the style of French Northern Rhône wines, it has a bouquet and taste of cassis and cherry, with undertones of ripe raspberry, in its dry, smooth nish. Perfect to marry with pasta with red sauce, duck and lamb.
2017 In Hand Mouvèdre – El Dorado ($24)
is is a second label from e Withers. It’s a very fruity wine, with avors of strawberry, raspberry and ripe plums, that makes a great accompaniment to pizza, hamburgers, ribs and even Bu alo wings.
2018 Peters Vineyard Sonoma Coast Chardonnay ($41)
Made in the style of a great white Burgundy, this wine shows a bouquet and taste of ripe apples and lemons, and has a lively nish that will pair well with sushi, salmon and shrimp.
ese wines are a great value and, most important, a pleasure to drink. ey’re relatively low alcohol, yet full of avor, and each is truly representative of the varietals they’re made from. In general, they mate well with a wide variety of fare, and have a longlasting, pleasant nish. In particular, I found the Rosé and English Hill Pinot Noir both bursting with avor that last and lasts. e Withers should please the novice looking for a great bottle with dinner and the seasoned enthusiast alike - without severely denting the wallet.
Prices are the suggested retail price for 750ml bottles. e Withers wines can be found direct from the winery at www.thewithers.com and locally at Pound Ridge Wine & Spirits, Wine Connection, Stewart’s Wine & Spirits. Siemer’s, Wine Geeks, Harry’s, Greens Farms Wine & Spirits, Bedford Wine Merchants, Fine Wine Company of Westport, Rye Brook Wine & Spirits, Westchester Wine Warehouse, Zachy’s Wine and Liquor, Inc, Village Wine and Spirits Sleepy Hollow, Grapes the Wine Company, Balducci’s, Putnam and Vine, and Citarella Wines & Spirits among others.

RESTAURANT OPENING IN NEW CANAAN

Restaurant openings have been a rarity in the covid-era, but against all odds, Nick Martschenko is opening his third concept in New Canaan this month. Nick, Executive Chef and Owner, is known for South End, a comfy yet lively more upscale tavern, and Uncorked, more of a bar and snacks scene and a great place to meet friends. His third, and newest concept, e Back End (TBE for short) is a modern twist on high-end Mexican food – and as always, in a sophisticated yet welcoming setting.
Although Nick had already picked up the space behind Uncorked, pre-covid, and didn’t really have immediate plans to open up his newest restaurant, he knew as outdoor dining began to boom that he wanted to provide another option (and more outdoor seating!) to the town… so he quickly got to work developing a space that’s sure to brighten anyone’s day. e new space is in the shared alleyway behind Uncorked and the two restaurants share some outdoor seating and a brand new outdoor bar… Nick says “I’m also going to save some marriages! If you’re sitting outside, you’ll be able to order o of either of our separate kitchen’s menus.”
e shared outdoor space is inviting, contemporary, and private – it feels more like you’re at a young hip beer garden, reminiscent of New Orleans or Austin, than a sit-down restaurant in the middle of New Canaan. And yet, TBE will still o er a carefully curated menu, “when people think Mexican fare they think Tacos… we have that, and they’re delicious, but mostly we’ve developed an array of dishes that change things up a bit; de nitely the kind of thing you can’t nd anywhere else around here. I wanted to o er something new”, said Nick. Two large bay windows will allow bartenders to serve both indoor and outdoor diners, and a new custom-designed tent structure and heaters will make this a space everyone is sure to frequent even through the winter. e bar program and menu that Nick, a classically trained Culinary Institute of America chef (by the way), has designed is not your pub average fare.

CLASSIC_GREENWICH_JACKET_v10.indd 1
$395 - available only from The Glass House Design Store
This limited-edition 90x90cm silk twill scarf is a collaboration between Hermès and The Glass House. The scarf features a design by the late American artist Elaine Lustig Cohen (1927–2016) for Hermès of Paris, Inc, based on a large-scale 1967 painting by the artist. In 1955, Cohen began her design work in New York by extending the idiom of European modernism into an American context for her diverse clientele of publishers, corporations, cultural institutions, and architects. Her first client was the renowned architect Philip Johnson (1906-2005) – creator of the celebrated Glass House (1949) in New Canaan, Connecticut. Only a limited number remain, and all proceeds benefit preservation of The Glass House.

CHARLES HILTON ARCHITECTS
This book presents nine spectacular houses, each responding to an equally spectacular site. They are the work of Charles Hilton, a leading traditional architect in Greenwich, Connecticut, whose firm has been honored with multiple regional and national awards including Palladio and Stanford White awards.
As an architect, Hilton is committed to designing imaginative buildings that inspire and delight and to creating a humanistic architecture that embodies the aspirations of his clients. He works in traditional vocabularies—principally Georgian, BeauxArts and shingle style—with exquisite classical detailing, but his houses are also completely contemporary in incorporating state-of-the-art technology and sustainable design. As he observes, “Our clients rely on our creativity and ingenuity to create houses that honor tradition, while seamlessly integrating modern amenities essential for contemporary living.”
Hilton has practiced in Greenwich for more than thirty years, and he is completely fluent with its rich and diverse architectural heritage. This means that his houses, while meticulously detailed and impressive, are also beautifully integrated into the panoramic waterfronts, rolling lawns and rustic back-country landscapes that are characteristic of Greenwich and the surrounding countryside.
