NIC ROLDAN
THE FACE OF AMERICAN POLO
N
ic Roldan is arguably the United States best polo player, the face of American Polo. He is the present leading American polo player with an impressive eight goal handicap and is currently Captain of the U.S. Polo Team. Recently, he has achieved notable career milestones. Playing in two of the world’s most prestigious events, Roldan competed in the Argentine Open and won the Queen’s Cup in England- both impressive accomplishments. The Queen’s Cup is played in the presence of Her Majesty, who personally presents the winning trophy. When he is not saddled up on the polo field or working as a model for Wilhelmina, he is expanding “[his] entrepreneurial endeavors and becoming more involved in the business elements of [his] projects.” Richard Gerding: Beyond your career in polo and modeling, what is your latest project and how did you get involved? Nic Roldan: I have been wanting to get involved with spirits for some time now. I’m friends with the founder of one of the leading, innovative spirit brands, Matti Antilla of Grain & Barrel. Along with our other partner Diego Urutia, we came up with the idea of doing a Gin. We wanted to come up with a catchy, aspirational, polo aspect to our brand and we all share a passion for the sport of polo. It is called High Goal Luxury Gin, and it is a one hundred percent American made premium Gin with hints of mint and citrus. I am a cofounder, along with Matti and Diego,
ambassador, and the face of our brand. I feel like Gin has a huge opportunity now. It is very popular in Europe, and the vodka and tequila markets have been too saturated in my opinion. We will be launching in December and are looking at a price point of around $50. This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time now and am so excited to finally see it come to life. RG: I hear you have also been working in collaborationwith Revo sunglasses.What can we look forward to in that respect? NR: Yes, I am very excited to be working on a couple of projects with them. For one, we are coming out with a pair of lifestyle sunglasses based on their Quinn model, but what I’m most excited about is a pair of protective glasses specifically for playing polo. There are many ways to get injured playing polo, but if you lose your eyes that’s it. Your career is over. So it is very important to protect your eyes. Up until now, we as polo players have been using all sorts of sunglasses designed for other sports but none of them were designed with polo in mind. This will be a high-performance design specifically for polo players. I am friends with the new owner of Revo, and he has been wanting to get into the polo market, so the partnership has been a perfect fit. RG: Another endeavor you’ve been working on is interior design. What has it been like working with your Mother on some of these projects? NR: I just finished my first Spec Home with a partner and good friend of mine, Michelle Kamine, who has built numerous houses inside the
prominent Palm Beach Polo and Country Club here in Wellington, Florida. It’s a modern farmhouse design with views, incredible views, overlooking one of the prettiest holes on the Cypress course. My Mother and I have been working on other projects together. We work great together. Her ideas and mine go hand in hand. Our styles are really different, but they really compliment each other. I love being involved in the building and design process. Real estate is something that has been a passion of mine for a long time now and something that I want to get more involved in. RG: Apparel is another business you’ve been getting involved in. Can you let us know what you’re working on? NR: I am involved with an apparel company called Polo Gear. It is a line for polo players, and we are making apparel and gear. Fashion has always been a passion of mine so it was something I’ve always wanted to do. RG: Let’s talk a little polo. You are working on a World Polo League with the Ganzis. How is that going? NR: Yes, our first year was a great year for the World Polo League and the second year was becoming even better! We had ten teams, all extremely competitive. We had some of the best players in the world and it has really taken a big step forward. We have some amazing corporate sponsors this year, such as Seminole Casino who I played for with Mellisa Ganzi. Unfortunately our season got cut short due to the pandemic, so we will be here until we leave for the summer in Aspen. Hopefully we will be able to play by then, but we are just taking it day by day as of now.

CASA TUA A Home Away From Home With Miky Grendene Written by Richard Gerding
From Aspen to Miami, Miky Grendene is the ultimate tastemaker, creating intimate, delicious experiences. He first opened Casa Tua in Miami Beach, and has opened Casa Tua Cucina in Miami’s Brickell City Centre along with Casa Tua in Aspen. Since 2001, Miky and his wife Leticia have cultivated and brought the luxurious dining experience to life with their love of food, family, and art in an unparalleled way that is not to be missed and is celebrated by all fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to enjoy any of their famed locations. Richard Gerding: What is the Casa Tua lifestyle? Miky Grendene: Good living. Each one of us is different, but my vision is centered around ‘less is more.’ Keep it simple, give back, and enjoy every detail - the small details make a big difference. For me, lifestyle is remembering to laugh a lot and approach everything with a smile. You need to be able to make fun of yourself, be light, be happy, be soulful. It’s also about embracing nature and protecting it. We try to make a difference and create awareness. Everything I do with Casa Tua is aimed towards reminding people to enjoy life. RG: What inspired Casa Tua’s “home away from home” model? And how are you able to achieve this for guests? MG: I am a host by nature. My wife Leticia and I have always loved to have our home filled with friends laughing, eating and creating memories together. When we moved to Miami over 20 years ago, Photo By Rafael Balcazar
we wanted to build an extension of our own home - and that is how Casa Tua was born. The building itself is a historic Miami Beach house so there’s an inherent level of intimacy built into the space. Paired with good food, familiar service and privacy, we were lucky enough to develop a place with soul. It is the soul that keeps people coming back. RG: In addition to your second outpost in Aspen, you have a third location in Miami – Casa Tua Cucina, a gourmet Italian and Mediterranean-inspired restaurant and marketplace in Saks Fifth Avenue Brickell City Centre. What was your inspiration for this? MG: I have an intense passion for food and love sharing that with everyone. I have always believed the kitchen has soul, it’s the heart of a home – it’s where families share, cook, eat and laugh together. I wanted to recreate this experience on a larger scale, for people to be able to see how we work and how we prepare our food. We believe that sharing good, ethically sourced food is one of the highest expressions of love. At Casa Tua Cucina we want our guests to feel like they are enjoying a meal at home, so we created an environment of sharing, a place where you can enjoy food and drinks with family, friends and co-workers on a daily-basis. There are 10 gourmet dining stations, with chefs preparing everything from handmade pasta to fresh salads and hamachi right in front of you. Each station offers A distinct product and specializes in different ingredients, allowing us to serve a better quality meal to our guests.

DIAMOND SPAS & POOLS
BRINGING YOUR DREAM TO LIFE
Photo Courtesy of Mike Crane Photography
Diamond Spas & Pools Unmatched quality, custom fabrication, and sustainability, bringing your custom fabricated dream to life that will last a lifetime. ROOFTOP POOLS & SPAS Stainless Steel or copper is the perfect choice for rooftop pool or spa installations. Rooftop pool and spa construction with metal is ideal; metal weighs less than traditional materials such as gunite or concrete. A spa or pool weighing considerably less will reduce structural expenses and engineering costs. Diamond Spas will design and construct a single piece assembly to provide hoisting rigidity and easy maneuvering. This custom designed frame will also allow for leveling and fastening to your structure. The durability and beauty of stainless steel or copper is permanent, budgeting for refinishing throughout the long life of the spa will no longer have to be a consideration. Metal is amenable to nearly any design configuration and will provide a watertight vessel. THE MONARCH PORTABLE SPA Diamond Spas stocked portable luxury hot tub, The Monarch, is the perfect solution for those who prefer a standard design with a faster ship date. This portable stocked spa is a 5 person hot tub that is fabricated with a stainless-steel frame and removable access panels on all four sides for easy spa maintenance. Not only does a portable spa offer savings on time and construction, this 6 person portable hot tub has a variety of features that make this the

perfect option for your home. A portable hot tub gives you flexibility in the design of your space, leaving you the ability to create the oasis of your dreams. Panel options are stainless steel, copper or no panels for drop in installation or client choice. Foam cover options are grey or brown and are ASTM certified, or The Monarch stainless steel spa with auto cover is safety rated and helps to maintain water temperature by eliminating evaporation. The auto cover switch is mounted on the side of the spa and also includes the standard foam cover. No additional power or mounting is necessary. The Monarch spa meets California Energy Commissions guidelines for CEC and ANSI/APSP-14 certifications. COLD PLUNGE THERAPY POOLS Cold plunge pools are a European phenomenon dating back to the Romans. People of the past enjoyed the sensation of going from an intensely warm environment to a chilly environment in a matter of seconds. People of today understand the health benefits that are associated with such a dramatic change in water temperature. Cold plunge pools accompany spas, saunas or steam rooms. Cold plunge pools are kept at a constant 50 to 55 degrees. By rapidly cooling the body, blood circulation is stimulated, pores are closed and detoxified. Cold plunge pools also numb the joints, and are effective in reducing pain and relieving muscle spasms. The physiology of the hot-to-cold experience is extremely beneficial to your body. When you first “take the plunge” into your Diamond Spas cold plunge pool, the chilled water instantly numbs the nerves that surround your joints and muscles, causing the release of hormones and endorphins. The release of hormones and endorphins acts as an analgesic, which alleviates muscle and joint strain and stress. Another benefit of plunging into cold water is stimulation of the immune system as the cold water causes the body to release body chemicals known as cytokines, which help to boost the body’s ability to fight off harmful bacteria and viruses. Lastly, cold water activates nerves involved in breathing and blood vessel constriction; therefore, regular use of a cold plunge pool can stabilize blood pressure.
