Editor’s Letter

elcome to 2020—an exciting new decade where we look forward to all of the enriched experiences that come from life on The Monterey Peninsula. Carmel Realty will continue our focus, as a family owned, luxury boutique real estate Company while advancing our service through the use of new technologies and world class marketing expertise. The Monterey Peninsula real estate market was healthy in 2019, and we expect that to continue for a multitude of reasons. Demand for living amidst the stunning local geography—as was famously described by artist Francis McComas as “the greatest meeting of land and water in the world”—and for the incredible schools, cultural events, and lifestyle keep our real estate in high demand. People moving here tell us they value the quality of life, and we feel optimistic about the strength of our market that has limited inventory and seemingly a voluminous demand. Buyers from the San Francisco Bay Area, other regions of California, Texas, and other areas of the country, tend to make up many of our new residents, while approximately a third of our transactions are with local buyers. Surprisingly, there are very few buyers from out of the country. Our real estate market started out slow in Q1 due to macroeconomic conditions, political uncertainty, and some extreme weather. Discretionary buyers decided to wait for things to settle before reengaging and driving a very healthy second half of the year. 2019 brought the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and U.S. Open golf tournaments, the Concours d’Elegance luxury auto show, the Monterey Jazz Festival, and a plethora of other events unusual for a community of our size. We are excited about this year’s Pro-Am tournament in February, Pebble Beach Food and Wine in April, Concours d’Elegance in August, along with so many other

world-class events that set the caliber of our cultural community so high. In the following pages, we have features on Carmel and the Central Coast’s first Michelin Star restaurant, Aubergine, and chef, Justin Cogley, who together with David Fink’s Mirabel Hotel and Restaurant Group, host the world class Carmel GourmetFest. We also highlight some amazing local restaurants that happen to feature fantastic burgers, along with produce and seafood and fine wines from our local growers, fishermen and winemakers. We cover the breadth of the extraordinary schools available to families on the Peninsula and how fortunate we are to have such high quality options for our children to learn and develop their individual potential. Part of the appeal of this beautiful area is the great weather and the opportunity to spend so much time outdoors. Dave Howarth, a longtime resident and REALTOR® with Carmel Realty Company, shares his love for the golf course, where he finds the opportunity to relax in stunning scenery with family and friends and unplug from the frequent distractions of modern life. With our content, we hope to inspire you to find local experiences and events to explore and make part of your own traditions. We continue to be amazed by how lucky we are to be residents of this unique place full of natural beauty, interesting, caring people and entertaining and diverse opportunities to enrich our lives. There are not many places in the country that are fortunate enough to have these types of amenities. We invite you to experience the enriching and idyllic community of the Monterey Peninsula.

Carmel’s

WORLD-CLASS CUISINE GourmetFest and Michelin-Star Dining at Aubergine

By Brett Wilbur Photography by Nathan Zucker

ubergine, the award-winning restaurant at L’Auberge Carmel, capped off 2019 with a Michelin star, the first establishment in Monterey County to receive the prestigious honor. Executive Chef Justin Cogley helms the kitchen at the Relais & Châteaux property and is also crucial in directing the hotel’s GourmetFest event, next scheduled for 2021. “Justin absolutely understands the balance of flavors and textures in food,” says Mirabel Hotel & Restaurant Group Founder/CEO David Fink. “He’s a great cook and is creative and passionate about product. Beyond that, he has this uncanny ability and drive and perseverance. He’s a worldclass athlete, who was a professional ice skater and is now a triathlete and long-distance runner, but he’s also a very gentle spirit.” Cogley has been instrumental in drawing world-class chefs for the four-day GourmetFest, started by Fink, which includes an opening night party, cooking demos, wine tastings, lunches, off-site activities like mushroom foraging, wine dinners, a rarities dinner and a closing event, all benefiting local nonprofits.

1913 Luxury by the Sea

“When I first started, it was more of a 55 and older crowd…”

Past chefs have included Michael Mina of Mina Restaurant Group, David Kinch of Manresa, Charles Phan of The Slanted Door, Gary Danko of his eponymous restaurant, Cassidee Dabney from Blackberry Farm and Patricia Gamez from The Royal Blues Hotel, among many others. “We have 3 Michelin Star chefs who keep coming back,” says Cogley. “We are bringing talent to a small town who are very specific about the food they want to serve, and we source locally to the best of our availability. It’s a challenge to coordinate 12-15 chefs and all their dishes and needs. This is not a large operation. We give chefs ideas on what to prepare based on the wine we have. So much work goes into the simplest lunches. It’s not easy for chefs to replicate their cuisine thousands of miles away from their restaurants.” Wine partners have ranged from Bernardus Winery to Fink Family Estate Vineyards to Grand Marnier, Veuve Clicquot, Caraccioli Cellars, Champagne Tattinger, DRC (Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) Morgan Winery, Opus One and many more. Cogley travels the world to meet with world-class restauranteurs and chefs.

“I learned how to respect products and uphold standards from four years of 110-hour work weeks at Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago,” he says. He’s noticed many younger diners are traveling across the globe to find the best food and service available. “When I first started, it was more of a 55 and older crowd,” Cogley says. “Now, there are younger people targeting this festival and a diversification of travelers coming here just to eat dinner.” Apart from special events, the nightly Coastal California cuisine based tasting menu is complemented by a plethora of exquisite options from Aubergine’s 2,500-bottle wine cellar. “The food is based in local products, a lot from the ocean,” says Fink. “There’s also French cuisine integrated in from Justin’s time at Charlie Trotter’s along with a bit of an Asian influence from his time living in Asia. It’s really refreshing. There’s this incredibly wonderful intensity of flavors with a real lightness. You have 8-10 courses at Aubergine but never feel like you need to leave in a wheelbarrow.” Continued on page 18

“…once a month we have themed four-course menus with wine pairings.” Continued from page 13

Cogley was named “Best New Chef ” by Food & Wine magazine, and Aubergine has received multiple awards from Wine Spectator, Forbes Travel Guide and Travel + Leisure. “We let Justin have a lot of autonomy,” Fink says. “He’s always teaching himself. I’m extremely proud of who he is as a person and how he’s evolved as a chef.” Cogley, who spends mornings foraging for wild greens on local beaches, says the mystique and romance of Carmel is part of the draw for guests. “People love the architecture and story and artists of Carmel,” says Cogley. “There are serious ‘foodie’ goals to eat at Michelin star restaurants and put photos of your meal on Instagram. In addition to GourmetFest, once a month we have themed four-course menus with wine pairings.” Along with classes with Pastry Chef Yulanda Santos and special holiday events, some of Aubergine’s 2020 events include: Redefining Flavor Dinner: Discover the Nordic; Savory Class: Culinary Adventure: Japan; Redefining Flavor Dinner: Philippine Cuisine; Savory Class: Seafood Odyssey; Redefining Flavor Dinner: Exploring Thailand; Savory Class: Culinary Adventure: Mexico; Redefining Flavor Dinner: Asparagus; Savory Class: Monterey Bay Abalone; Redefining Flavor Dinner: Corn, Maize, Mealie; Savory Class: Culinary Adventure: Israel; Redefining Flavor Dinner: Maine Lobster

1913 Luxury by the Sea

Bake; Savory Class: Summer BBQ- Grilling on our Big Green Eggs and Redefining Flavor Dinner: Stone Fruits. “We had a New Year’s party for 2020 with a strolling reception and pounds of caviar, truﬄes, wagyu beef, oysters, shellfish and king crab,” Cogley says. “We have a really great kitchen team. Some have been here almost 6 years, which is very rare in the business. We work really well together, and bounce ideas off each other.” A recent dinner at the 9-table Aubergine consisted of oyster, yuzu emulsion, cucumber gelée; artichoke tart, white anchovy, honeycomb, mint; uni, sweet soy, potato; tomato, lemon thyme, caviar; ayu, potato squash, Meyer lemon, trout roe; Shiro dashi, fava beans and shoots, lobster; morels, chicken jus, ramps; ribeye, kohlrabi, sunflower miso; strawberry cremeaux, pistachios, olive oil cake; and chocolate brownie with marshmallow fluff and cocoa nibs. At any seating there are, at most, 26 people dining together in Aubergine’s elegant space, who are welcome to eat as swiftly or linger as long as they desire. GourmetFest allows for some of the world’s best chefs to bring their expertise right to Carmel’s doorstep and with 20 events, is able to accommodate more diners. “The pairings with food and wine are unique, and guests leave with a different experience every year,” says Fink. ■

Further down the coast in the Carmel Highlands, at Carmel Realty’s listing “Lobos Views”, the company entertained a few hundred VIP guests along with partners, Dom Perignon, Black River Caviar, Galante Vinyards, Carmel GourmetFest, and Aubergine Carmel Michelin Star Chef Justin Cogley. These events strengthen the deep relationships Carmel Realty has on the Peninsula and help form new friendships through our amazing partners and their guests. ■

Carmel & Carmel-by-the-Sea

CARMEL HIGHLANDS & SOUTH COAST

A magnificent ocean front 6,414-square-foot property which fronts a protected cove. Facing Point Lobos, this exquisite and environmentally conscious architecture showcases a four-level family-friendly residence. Clad in cedarwood and limestone - the materials are synonymous with neighboring Carmelby-the-Sea cottages, and as much a signature of the Monterey Peninsula as the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cypress trees. The living roof creates a striking aesthetic from every angle. The third level, open plan living space is cantilevered to frame a sea view facing north out on the bay and Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. The spectacular vista is best viewed from the master level, where 9-foot-tall glass doors slide open onto a deck-wrapped swimming pool and entertainment lanai perched on the coveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge.

TALES TURF FROM THE

QA &

ave Howarth of Carmel Realty Company has handled over 300 transactions (and counting) at Carmel Valley Ranch since 1990, selling condos, townhomes and single-family homes where he and his wife Ann also reside. While his real estate sales are not limited to the Ranch, he is definitely considered the specialist in the community, where he and a former partner once operated a sales office. Howarth’s favorite pastime when he’s not touting the sunny Carmel Valley lifestyle is to play a round at the Ranch’s Pete Dye designed course. “I’ve been a member since 1996,” he says. “I’m an outdoor person and love being able to spend time with people on the golf course.”

Q: When did you learn how to play golf? A: I was 12 years old and my father took me with my three brothers to teach us on the Stanford Golf Course near where we lived. Although I enjoyed learning I was dedicated to competing in tennis and soccer, consequently I didn’t pick up a club between the ages of 18-30.

1913 Luxury by the Sea

Q: What have you learned from Golf? A: Golf has taught me to slow down and not rush and to keep my concentration more than any other sport I’ve played. You are an individual playing against yourself and it makes for a very interesting game trying to hit something that’s stationary. It’s all up to you. Earlier in my sales career, I answered every phone call that came in, but now that’s changed, and I will turn off my phone when I play. I found the distractions really hurt my game.

Q: What do you enjoy about the course at Carmel Valley Ranch? A: There is a unique energy out at the Ranch. When I drive thru those gates, I feel so fortunate to live, work and play there. There’s amazing and plentiful wildlife, lavender, olive trees, pinot noir grapes, bees, goats and more. The course is bent grass from tee to green featuring a lot of different contours and requiring numerous rounds to develop proficiency. Some long hitters think it’s a short track, but it taught me to play with more accuracy. Although the ownership has changed hands over the years the current owners have invested significantly in the property such that it keeps getting better and better with improved amenities.

Continued from page 83

Q: How do you approach your game? A: I’m more of a casual golfer. I play with people whose homes I have listed and sold (Buyers and Sellers, members and friends). I used to be more competitive, but now I try to relax and enjoy playing with a group of friends and with my wife. I never really took many lessons and I don’t even hold the club the way you’re supposed to. I certainly don’t have a classic swing that you’d want to emulate, but it gets the job done.

Q: How has golf been bonding for you? A: My three brothers and I still try to play golf together at least twice a year. Before my dad passed away, we would play as a fivesome. He was 85 the last time we all played, and he had a wonderful time. Alzheimer’s had gotten the better of him, so I would hand him a club and he would hit it just like when he was 70. My wife and I try to play at least 9 holes together on Sundays, sometimes with other couples. You meet some really nice people and learn a lot about them on the golf course.

1913 Luxury by the Sea

Q: What is attractive about living in a golf course community like Carmel Valley Ranch? A: Well of course the physical beauty and serenity of the landscape and the sunny weather are a big attraction. But I think the sense of community and belonging that you feel when you know your neighbors and fellow members and can share a round of golf or enjoy dinner or a social event in the Clubhouse. So, there’s a nice balance between the comfort and ease of familiar faces and the opportunity to meet new friends who’ve recently moved on property. So, for me it’s a combination of the ease of living where I work, and the chance to enjoy the Carmel Valley lifestyle. ■

Educational Options Abound on the Monterey Peninsula

Carmel Realty’s Owner Shelly Lynch Shares School Insights By Brett Wilbur

armel Realty Company is the region’s oldest and most renowned brokerage and owner Shelly Mitchell Lynch is one of the highest achieving brokers of luxury real estate on the Monterey Peninsula. As a top business executive and Stanford graduate who has raised three children here, Shelly frequently meets with families who are focused on finding the best school for their children. “One of the most unique and undiscovered characteristics of the Monterey Peninsula is the uncommon number of exceptional academic schools, both public and private, that we have here in such a small community. We are so fortunate,” says Shelly. When Shelly and her husband, Dan, relocated their family to Carmel nearly two decades ago, they discovered All Saints Day School in Carmel Valley. Its setting, against the backdrop of the Santa Lucia Mountains and the Carmel River, is breathtaking. Most importantly, the students are poised, friendly and incredibly well-prepared for high school and beyond. The school community is warm and welcoming with traditions to involve families of all faiths into the school culture and the area at large. “When we first visited the campus, the older children greeted us with so much natural self-confidence, authenticity and kindness, that my husband and I looked at each other Continued on page 98

and said, ‘We want this for our kids,’” Shelly says. “The current head of school, Scott Fujita, graduated in business administration from UC Berkeley and holds a master’s in education. He also happens to be a former NFL Super Bowl champion, which gives him a ‘cool factor’ with the kids. As an NFL Player negotiator and father of three girls, Scott’s leadership breeds exceptional communication skills and inspires confidence and school pride. All Saints was a great fit for us, but we have so many other great local alternatives that it really depends on your child.” When the three Lynch children graduated from All Saints, they attended Stevenson High School, a day and boarding high school with an academic community and a challenging college prep curriculum. With international boarding students from Asia, South America, Africa, India and Europe, the students receive an education in culture and diversity that mirrors today’s global market. Stevenson School is nationally ranked with world-class facilities in Pebble Beach, outstanding athletics, an enviable theater and arts program, and student-run clubs from astronomy, Robotics and Model UN to their own radio station, KSPB91.9FM. “Carmel and Pebble Beach were founded as a ‘paradise for the creative spirit,’ and that holds true today,” Shelly says. “Stevenson School has proved to be an invaluable opportunity to develop character, academic rigor and relationship skills

in what Kevin Hicks, the school’s innovative president, refers to as, ‘a California school enlightened by a global sensibility.’” These and many other local schools enjoy a high level of parent involvement and financial support, which allows for supplemental enrichment programs including farm-to-table education, organic farming and naturalist field trips, plus activities like rock climbing, scuba diving, surfing, golf and horseback riding. “What sets us apart is while we have extremely high-ranked schools, there isn’t an overpopulation of students vying for the spots as in many parts of the Bay Area,” Shelly explains. “You get the opportunity to select the school that’s the right fit for your child so they can thrive.” While Shelly greatly enjoyed growing up in Atherton, she and her husband returned to the Monterey Peninsula so that their children did not have to experience the “pressure cooker” that envelops many Bay Area students and families. “Our kids can be part of the natural beauty here by the ocean,” she says. “This small, sophisticated and highly educated community breeds both accountability in kids and results in personal connections. We live in a community that believes in the integrity of an education versus achievement for the sake of social pressure. You have to experience it to believe it.” ■

Best Spot for

GOURMET BURGERS on the Monterey Peninsula

o matter how refined the restaurant, and how creative the chef, a burger is a reliable menu mainstay that appeals to all ages. The humble American favorite can be elevated to elegance while still remaining a crowd pleaser. Local restaurants create burgers with prime ingredients and inspired preparation to make mouth-watering memories.

Grasing’s Coastal Cuisine Carmel-by-the-Sea Chef Kurt Grasing used to operate a popular Carmel steakhouse, and the cuts he serves on Grasing’s dinner menu reflect his experience with sourcing prime Nebraska steaks. For lunch, the Black Angus Bistro Burger with smoked bacon, avocado, a housemade sauce and cheddar cheese is a fresh and flavorful red meat option. Pair it with anything from the menu (we suggest a grilled artichoke with Dungeness crab salad, lemon vinaigrette and lemon-thyme aioli) for a reflection of the local produce and seafood harvested from Monterey County. A stellar wine and cocktail list offer drinks inspired from around the world, while the charming bar, restaurant, patio and rooftop areas provide some of Carmel’s best settings to dine.

Edgar’s at Quail Lodge, Carmel Valley Quail Burger, a handcrafted beef patty served with aged white cheddar, tomatoes, onion, lettuce and cabbage on a brioche bun; and the Truﬄe Burger, with black truﬄe Brie cheese and crispy shallots on a brioche bun, available with bacon and avocado.

1913 Luxury by the Sea

Cypress Inn Carmel-by-the-Sea Co-owned by beloved late actress/singer Doris Day, the 1920s-era Spanish Colonial style Cypress Inn features classic cocktails at Terry’s Lounge along with a substantial menu. The Cypress Burger brags on being the best burger in town, and offers a veggie patty substitution option, plus swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onion and a delectable bacon aioli, alongside a pairing of either salad or fries. If you’d like to bring your dog to dine on leash in the courtyard or in the lobby area, he or she will be invited to enjoy a burger as well. Just think: no more sad puppy dog eyes staring at you or a paw reaching for your plate. And if that’s truly not enough to sate Fido, top off his meal with a muttini.

The Tap Room, The Lodge at Pebble Beach Kobe Brie Burger, served with crispy onions, lettuce and tomato on a brioche bun with truﬄe wedge potatoes; and the Tap Room Burger, a halfpound Black Angus burger served with pepper bacon and sharp cheddar on a brioche bun.

RG Burgers, Carmel All types of burgers from blue cheese to cheesy mac to guacamole swiss, available with ground beef, ground turkey, chicken breast or veggie falafel patties, served with r.g. sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion and pickles on a Kaiser roll.
