寶藍色並不是容易駕馭的顏色，但身形苗條的小S 徐熙娣卻完全勝任，上身的透視設計展現性感一面，泡泡袖則顯得年輕化，再大膽配以黃色眼影，盡顯心思，極有新鮮感。

祖兒這Off-white花花裙猶如油畫般，古典又傳統，皺摺做得很美和有層次感，非常立體，配以誇張的珍珠耳環和白色短靴，更是錦上添花，時尚感即時倍增。

穿上Monique Lhuillier花裙的顏卓靈，甜美又青春，粉色調令人看得舒服，由上至下漸變色的層次感更是討好；簡單襯以裸色高跟鞋和粉色妝容，已令人眼前一亮。

Royal blue is not for everyone, but it looks perfect on Dee — aka Xiao S. The top part of the dress is sexy and the balloon sleeves make her look young. It is fresh and smart to match the dress with yellow eyeshadow.

Joey’s off-white floral dress is like an oil painting, classic and traditional. The layering of the dress is indicative of how well it is made. It matches nicely with white pearl earrings and white boots.

Cherry looks young and sweet in Monique Lhuillier’s floral dress. The pastel colour is very appealing, and the gradient shade from top down is the highlight. A pair of nude-colour heels and light makeup complete the look perfectly.

李佳芯這身採跌膊和露腰設計的套裝，不會有刻意賣弄性感之餘，更顯得她很年輕，加上一頭乾淨俐落的髮型，簡約的鑽飾，好看又有型。

很少作如此女性化打扮的徐濠縈，穿上紅色碎花長裙，配以all back丸子頭和Roger Vivier綁帶紅鞋，展現出一身型格。

Ali looks young but not sexy in this super-short, off-shoulder suit top. Her hairstyle and simple diamond accessories are quite stylish.

I like Rainie’s Sea New York jean overalls. The ruffle design is simple but catchy, and her choice of a ponytail is great. She looks stylish and energetic in Jimmy Choo’s plastic wrapped pumps.

Hilary isn’t known for her feminine style, but she is definitely stylish in this red floral dress, which matches well with her hair bun and Roger Vivier red-ribbon shoes.

Rebecca demonstrates a different kind of sexy in this dress. It’s beautiful and eye-catching, with a design that features see-through patches.

幸福的時光

Happily EvEr aftEr A few months ago, Christine Kuo posted a picture of her engagement ring on Instagram, announcing that she and auto racer William Lu were getting married. We talked to Christine recently to learn her views about weddings, how she overcame adversity in both her love life and work life, and her tips on staying beautiful despite a busy schedule.

COVER STORY

婚禮只是儀式能成功令女神披上嫁衣，全因陸

嚴格來說，她並沒有安排婚禮，

吃一餐，雖然很可能是他自己想去食，而我們已經累得想回酒店休息。」苟芸慧說時不由得流露出甜絲絲的笑容。

一個愛控制，一個夠隨心，可說是絕配，然而他們之間也有矛盾。「我很喜歡小朋友而他很怕，我曾放棄生育

間去準備當爸爸，以及繼續享受當個小朋友。」

The reason Lu was successful in winning the heart of our beloved Christine is because he had the right combination of boldness and caring. “I like that he is straightforward and responsible, and loves my family,” Kuo says with a smile. “Although he has a rather macho appearance, he is a very detail-oriented person, which is exactly my opposite. “For example, when I travel for work, he will make reservations at a local restaurant, so our team can go to the restaurant after work and enjoy a great meal. It could be because he himself would like to eat there, but we are usually so tired that we’d rather head back to the hotel and rest.” Kuo says she has never has wedding dreams, although admitting “I may have paid some attention to other friends’ weddings.”

“But I don’t obsess over them. The wedding itself is only a ceremony. What’s most important is how the two people really work together and live the rest of their lives together.” Strictly speaking, she is not planning the wedding, but rather she is “being planned.” “William is quite a control freak, so everything is handled by him,” she concedes. “The wedding arrangements keeps changing. He says that he will tell me what time to appear on that day and everything will be fine. I think he should do whatever he likes, and just surprise me.” One person likes to control, while the other is easygoing. Does that sound like a perfect match? Well . . . “I really like children, but he is afraid of them,” Kuo says.” I thought about giving up the idea of having children, but I think my life will not be complete without being a mother. So, when he proposed, I said that we needed to have a mutual understanding on this topic. “So, he agreed to have one child, but we would have to wait four years. I thought it would be great to give him four years’ time to prepare for being a dad, while continuing to enjoy being a child himself.”

C Watch Story

Chopard

L.U.C All in One 稱得上All in One，當然包羅萬有，功能多多。這枚集萬年曆，陀飛

輪、時間等式、月相、日出日落等功能的L.U.C All in One，是僅次於去年以水晶製三問部件的第二複雜L.U.C作品，總共有十四項功能顯示，L.U.C 05.01-L機芯由多達516個零件組成，已獲COSC及日內瓦認證。玫瑰金款式約售45.8萬，鉑金款式約售48.6萬。 It has to have everything to live up to the “All in One” name, and it does —

from perpetual calendar to tourbillon, equation-of-time calculator, moon phase, sunrise and sunset displays and more. Boasting 14 complications all up, it is the second-most complicated L.U.C watch after last year’s crystal minute repeater. The L.U.C 05.01-L mechanism is made up of 516 parts. The watch is COSC and Geneva certified. The rose gold version is going for $458,000 and the platinum for $486,000.

Hublot

Big Bang Sapphire Tourbillon

Hublot造藍寶石水晶殼已是手到拿來，這次則務求每一個部件都通透過人。新作除了部分金屬齒輪及螺絲外，無論機芯橋板、外殼、陀飛輪搭橋等全部零件皆是透明。腕錶殼直徑45毫

米，搭載HUB6016手上鏈機芯，擁有115小時動力儲備，定價約 18.2萬。

Hublot has refined its craft in making sapphire crystal cases. This time, it aims to make every part transparent. Other than some metal

gears and screws, most parts in the new watch are see-through, be it the bridge, the case or the tourbillon bridge. The watch measures 45 millimetres and features an HUB6016 hand-winding movement that

offers 115 hours of power reserve. The price is set at about $182,000.

Lang & Heyne Anton

十年前獨立製錶師Marco Lang覺得市場上太多陀飛輪，不想

隨波逐流。惟去年造了一枚很多人形容「後面比前面更精采」的小三針Georg後，看着六時位置的小秒針盤，Lang覺得可以放進陀飛輪，結果花了一年時間，造出品牌首枚陀飛輪作品Anton。玫瑰金款約售83萬、鉑金約售15.7萬。 A decade ago, independent watchmaker Marco Lang made a

decision not to make a tourbillon, for there already were plenty of them on the market. Last year, he made a small second Georg, a watch that is said to be more interesting at the back than the front. Lang thought he could put a tourbillon at 6 o’clock where the small second was. So he spent a year to create Anton, the brand’s first tourbillon. The rose gold version is going for $136,000 and the platinum for $157,000.

Graff

MasterGraff Ultra Flat Tourbillon “Graffiti” 今年Graff集中火力展現錶盤工藝，這款"Graffiti"一共有四枚，按Japanese Street Art的當代藝術設計，有藝伎及動畫人物等，色彩鮮豔豐富。向來大明火琺瑯只能燒出三數種色調，這次為了造出繽紛效果，特意選用低溫琺瑯，僅以180度燒出超過十種色調。43毫米直徑的玫瑰金、玫瑰金鑲鑽及鉑金外殼，每款都是只此一枚。 Graff is finessing the dial this year, with four interpretations in the “Graffiti” collection, featuring colourful geisha and anime figures inspired by contemporary Japanese Street Art artworks. Usually, only three colours can be produced for grand feu enamels. In this case, lower temperature at 180oC was used to fire the enamel to produce more than 10 colours. Only one piece is produced for each version, in 43-millimetre rose gold, rose gold with diamonds and platinum.

G H

Harry Winston Project Z12

今年是品牌用鋯合金造錶第十二個年頭，去年以大日曆做主角，今年回歸至品牌最愛的逆跳功能。在42.2毫米直徑的錶盤中央有一條紐約曼哈頓大橋橫跨，既代表着品牌發源地，亦清晰地將上下逆跳時分分離，錶盤外圍還有一個藍寶石水晶製日期圈，由一個小方格在數字下方轉動，顯示日期，定價約3.3萬。

In its 12th year of using Zalium™ alloy for its watches, Harry

Winston goes back to the brand’s signature retrograde to follow the Big Date of last year. The bridge in the centre of the 42.2-millimetre

dial evokes a Manhattan bridge as a tribute to New York, where Harry

Z Zenith

Winston’s story began. The bridge also demarcates the retrogrades

for the hours and the minutes. A sapphire crystal date disc sits below the dial and a luminescent square moves beneath the numbers to indicate the date. The price is approximately $33,000.

Defy Zero G

Biver入主後，奉行「減」字訣：減overprice、減多餘的複雜，

和減大而無當。把於2013年曾推出過陀螺儀錶款的原來尺寸減少三成，化身成Defy Zero G。陀螺儀座落於六時位置，44毫米尺寸，搭載E l Primero 8812 S手上鏈機芯，玫瑰金版本約售16.6萬。 Since taking charge, Jean-Claude Biver has been on a mission

to trim the price, excessive complication and size. Defy Zero G is a reinterpretation of a 2013 watch featuring Gravity Control and is 30 per cent smaller than the previous version. The Gravity Control is located at 6 o’clock. The watch, at 44 millimetres, is powered by an El Primero 8812 S hand-winding calibre. The rose gold watch is priced at about $166,000.

H C P Watch Story

H. Moser & Cie

Swiss Alp Watch Minute Repeater Tourbillon

第一次造三問，Moser揀了雙游絲陀飛輪跟它搭配，藍色煙

燻效果呈馬賽克立體美態，其實是以雷射雕刻技術做出噴砂效果。搭載C901機芯的腕錶，年產量只有五枚，在會場展示的唯一一枚，已經被香港客訂了。約售40萬。

For its first minute repeater, Moser uses a flying tourbillon to ramp

it up. Laser etching makes the dial look like a mosaic of blue shades.

It features the C901 calibre, and only five pieces are made each year. The only piece shown at the show was snapped up on the spot by a Hong Kong buyer for a price of approximately $400,000.

Carl F. Bucherer

Manero Tourbillon Double Peripheral

外緣擺陀是Carl F. Bucherer自家特色，今年來個雙外緣陀飛

輪，除了設有一個外緣擺陀為CFB T3000機芯提供動力，另一個外緣齒輪圈的作用，是減省了陀飛輪搭橋，令它成為一個Floating

Tourbillon，賞心悅目指數直線上升。品牌估計只會生產約一百枚機芯。約售9.5萬。

Peripheral automatic winding is Carl F. Bucherer’s unique

complication. This one features a double peripheral, one to produce

power for the CFB T3000 calibre and the other to negate the need for a tourbillon bridge and make it a floating tourbillon for a sassier look.

Only 100 mechanisms will be produced a year. The watch is going for $95,000.

Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5740/1G

Nautilus不讓同門的Aquanaut專美，也推出歷來最複雜的萬年曆

型號，且是第一次令人感覺年輕活力的萬年曆。錶盤上的那抹藍

也比慣常Nautilus淺了一點，更富陽光朝氣。最重要還換上了全新設計摺扣，不用再擔心一邊扣未扣緊，另一邊會彈開的問題。定價約14.6萬。

Nautilus gives Aquanaut in the same family a run for its money,

incorporating the most complicated and youthful perpetual calendar. The blue on the dial is lighter than a typical Nautilus to give off a

sunnier feel. The clasp has been updated to make fastening easier. The price is about $146,000.

Isn’t it great to be able to keep track of the time back home while you’re travelling? Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas Dual Time, featuring a new in-house Cal. 5110 DT automatic mechanism, indicates home time with an arrow-shaped hand, and day/night at home with the indicator at 9 o’clock. The three hands of the watch tell the local time, and the date subdial at 6 o’clock marks the local date.

據說涼鞋起源自埃及，當地人為了避免在沙地上行走時，因地面乾燥而有損傷，所以用草繩編結成和腳大小相約的鞋底，以生牛皮把它們固定在腳上。單穿涼鞋或是配上襪子的風潮蘊釀了好幾年，今季更加全面入屋，例如Louis Vuitton、Prada、Jil Sander、Dries Van Noten等多個品牌均推出不同特色的涼鞋，配上短褲、長褲、運動褲或是西褲同樣覺得好看。心水推介Hermès黑白黃交錯的皮涼鞋，充滿夏日色彩；再大膽一點，Maison Margiela的高達色涼鞋便相當吸睛。至於Boss的藍色帶及 Fendi大玩logo的涼鞋同樣走親民路線，低調地彰顯品味。

Sandals are said to have originated in Egypt, where people used straw macramé to make the soles and rawhide to secure them to the feet. It has been fashionable to wear sandals, with or without socks. This season, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Jil Sander and Dries Van Noten all offer a variety of sandal styles to go with shorts, long pants, sweat pants or dress pants. Our favourite is the Hermès leather sandals in black, white and yellow, which are perfect for the summer. If you prefer a bolder style, Maison Margiela’s brightly coloured sandals are quite eye-catching, while Boss’s blue strap sandals and Fendi’s logo sandals are casual, yet tasteful.

第二款香水以零陵香豆、雲呢拿粉和矜神秘一號香水以其強烈、清新以及充滿東方色彩見稱。前調含有一種清爽柑橘成分－西西里佛手柑油，繼而由更多柑桔、蘋果和一絲萬壽菊帶出更完美的果味。中調是茉莉花和玫瑰花的結合，以辛辣的肉桂和甘草味作為點綴。最後，以安息香、熏香、零陵香豆、雲呢拿和麝香作為後調。香水置於粉紅色瓶中，散發出一種獨特的時尚魅力。 The Mysteriously No. 1 eau de parfum stands out with its intense, fresh and oriental composition. It opens with top notes of Sicilian bergamot, a refreshing citrus component. The fruity finish is perfected with sweet mandarin, apple and a hint of marigold. Its flowery heart note, a combination of jasmine and rose, is rounded off by spicy cinnamon and liquorice accents. Finally, the base note unites benzoin, incense, tonka bean, vanilla and musk. Housed in a pink bottle, it is an atmospheric elixir with a unique allure and a modern twist.

A fresh and spicy top note with bergamot, clove and cinnamon opens up the fragrance. In the heart note, floral accords are provided by a mix of jasmine, rose, heliotropin and lily of the valley. Warm sandalwood gives this feminine bouquet an incredible elegance and takes the wearer on a seductive journey through the wonders of the Orient.

Pichor and wife Julie Marcopoulos, who is from the area and grew up in the restaurant business, get back to basics and use high-quality and locally produced ingredients to cook in the most simplistic way. They design their ‘alla famiglia’-style menu around some fundamental Italian representations: simple, sharing, approachable and freshness. Local farms provide the freshest in-season products right to their kitchen, which has allowed this “new kid on the block” to become the proud new local restaurant for the community. Decorated interior designer Daniel Meloché has utilized light-coloured oak for Il Posto’s tables and chairs, Italian tiles and modern lighting to energize and brighten up the space. The restaurant is split into three main dining areas, with seating for 68 (30 of those are patio seats). The 3,000-square-foot establishment also features a bar and an open-concept kitchen, complete with a custom-built brick pizza oven. In addition to an excellent wine list, Il Posto also produces Bicicletta and Bellini cocktails with Campari, Prosecco and vermouth. Try the famed American Amaretto Sour. Its sweet-andsour taste will surely relax and chill you down on a hot summer day. What would an Italian restaurant be without pasta? Il Posto’s Spaghetti Bolognese blends minced beef with Parmesan cheese and homemade garlic sauce for an amazing flavour. Fusilli Pesto utilizes arugula and walnuts — rather than the traditional basil and pine nuts — combining them with olive oil, kale, pecorino cheese and mushrooms for a fabulous dish. Not to be missed is the Linguini Vongole, combining clams, guanciale and white wine. It’s to die for. When it comes to meatballs, Pichor incorporates garlic bread crumbs into the ingredients, which makes them extra juicy and fresh. Topped with homemade tomato sauce and shredded pecorino cheese, the taste is addictive. The highlight of the menu is its comprehensive list of 11 oven pizza choices, from classic Italian margherita, giardino, funghi and carbonara to American Hawaiian and New York Brooklyn styles. Il Posto’s margherita pizza is meticulously made, presented in the green, white and red tricolours of Italy. It features high-quality

Ladner觀鳥勝地 Hotspot for birdwatchers 位於Ladner及三角洲菲沙河的河口，由於水產豐富而成為雀鳥天堂，是觀鳥熱點，不少人遊Ladner必到那裡的雀鳥保護區George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary參觀。該處為全加拿大92個聯邦候鳥保護棲息地之一，佔地850畝，是由濕地、沼澤與河堤組成。每年從十月到十二月初，是候鳥從北至南飛的遷徙期，期間可看到大群水禽如鴨、鵝、天鵝、雪雁等。現時已有290種鳥類被記錄曾於此停留，從野鴨、加拿大鵝、雪雁到更為罕見的物種，如黑冠夜鷺等都有。到了三月至四月，候鳥又開始了牠們的遷徙北征，大部分鴨子和雪雁向北移動，數以千計的水鳥飛越三角洲向北飛至原來繁衍之地。由於菲沙河有豐富魚穫，鷹、鸕鶿和其他吃魚的鳥類亦會飛近河口覓食。四月份也是許多綠頭鴨、加拿大鵝、sandhill crane在這裡築巢的季節，並且在夏季養育牠們的下一代。在這裡全年有大部份時間都是觀賞雀鳥不同生態的好地方。 The George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary, a hotspot for area birdwatchers, is located on the outskirts of Ladner. It consists of nearly 350 hectares of managed wetlands, natural marshes and low dykes in the heart of the Fraser River Estuary. It is one of 92 federal migratory bird sanctuaries in Canada. From October to early December is the best time to see large flocks of waterfowl (ducks, geese and swans) during southbound migration, as they feed and rest in the estuary and ponds. Highlights include the very friendly George C. Reifel mallards, sandhill cranes and blackMigratory Bird Sanctuary capped chickadees, as well as a diverse assortment of hawks, eagles and owls. The small northern saw-whet owl is a visitor favourite, and great horned owls often begin their winter courtship here, with the pair often seen roosting together in the firs. By March and April, reverse migration is underway, with most of the ducks and the snow geese moving north, along with the passage of thousands of shorebirds through the Fraser Delta. Western sandpipers moving north to Arctic breeding grounds often stop here to feed and roost in the managed shallow ponds of the sanctuary. Many ducks and geese are nesting here by April, and spend the summer rearing their young and moulting and refreshing their feathers. Mallards, gadwalls and Canada geese nest in the quiet grassy areas of the sanctuary.

If you’re planning to go for dinner and are nursing a big appetite, you won’t go wrong by starting off with the Alsatian-Style Onion Tart, or their FoieGras Terrine. For the main course, try the Grilled Veal Medallions with Veal Demi-Glace and Morel Mushrooms, or their popular Sautéed imported Dover Sole served with classic butter sauce. That sole entrée is the very same dish Julia Child enjoyed at her first meal at the famous La Couronne restaurant in Rouen, Normandy after arriving in France to join her diplomat husband Paul. To finish off dinner, try the Chocolate Cake with an Orange Reduction and Nougatine Ice Cream, or their Alsatian-Style Apple Tart, which restaurant patrons have swooned over.

A WARM AND INVITING PLACE While it’s a popular fine-dining restaurant, Le Crocodile is surprisingly not intimidating. Jacob is definitely a small-town boy, and his warm and humble influence is evident. Servers are courteous and do everything in their power 阿爾薩斯洋荵煙肉撻。 Alsatian tartelette with bacon and onion

to make you feel comfortable. The interior is low-key and does not have that “wow” factor associated with many restaurants-of-the-moment. Apart from the food itself, the customers are definitely the stars. Jacob

經典美食推介如若打算到Le Crocodile享用晚餐，不妨考慮以阿爾薩斯風格的洋蔥餡餅或是鵝肝凍糕作頭盤，肯定不會失望。主菜方面，嗜肉者可嘗試他們的香烤小牛肉片，配上小牛肉燒汁及莫雷爾蘑菇。喜歡吃魚的話，一定要試試多佛龍利魚配經典牛油汁；這道菜式是名廚Julia Child當年由美國遠赴法國諾曼第魯昂市與外交大使夫君相會，在第一家餐廳 – 著名的La Couronne進餐時享用的。要為美味一餐劃上甜蜜句號，可選擇他們的巧克力蛋糕配香橙濃汁及花生牛軋糖雪糕，或者是他們的阿爾薩斯風格蘋果撻，同樣令食客傾倒。

盡享歸屬感以一家受歡迎的高檔餐廳來說，Le Crocodile並沒讓客人感到有壓迫感。Michel來自法國小城鎮，溫暖和謙遜的特質，在餐廳內外均顯而易見。侍應們很有禮貌，竭盡全力讓你感覺舒適。由Vern Foster設計的內部裝潢採低調路線，並沒「嘩眾取寵」的元素。客人絕對是這裡的天王巨星。Michel希望你帶著整個家庭前來，年復一年地歡度各項里程碑慶典。Michel熱情友善，全不矯扭造作，像個人人喜愛的叔叔；亦不在乎你是穿著西裝或是T恤前

wants you to come and bring your entire family to celebrate milestone events year after year, as they invariably do. He is warm and friendly, definitely not pretentious — like a favourite uncle. And he doesn’t care if you come in wearing a suit or a T-shirt, which is why people come back repeatedly. Several well-known names in the culinary world started their careers at Le Crocodile, like Rob Feenie, David Hawksworth and Ned Bell — all of whom have all gone on to successful careers on their own. They all give Jacob credit for giving them their start. In 2013, Jacob celebrated his 30th year by creating a “Mentor’s Series” of dinners and invited several of the city’s top chefs to participate. “Although the hours are long, working in a restaurant is a great job,” says Jacob. “I love doing it because people come here to celebrate something, and I like to be there when they’re happy.” It’s no wonder Le Crocodile has been around 35 years and is still going strong.

來，親切殷勤的服務也是贏取忠實客戶的原因之一。

培育大廚溫床業內幾位知名大廚師，如Rob Feenie，David Hawksworth和 Ned Bell均在Le Crocodile起步，現都各自踏上成功路，他們同歸功於Michel給他們一個很好的開始。2013年，Michel慶祝他的第 30個年頭，創出了Mentor’ s Series《良師系列》晚宴，並邀請城中幾位頂級大廚參與。Michel說：「雖然工作時間長，但在餐廳工作是相當精采的。我喜歡我的工作，能夠在這裡與客人分享他們的快樂時光，實在是愉快的經驗。」35年的成功，絕非偶然。

三級酒莊一級身價

Third-GrowTh winery commandinG

1855年，拿破崙三世舉行巴黎世界博覽會，下令給波爾多酒莊排列等級，這個The Médoc Classification等級制度，今天法國人依然遵循，雖則它已無法百分百反映現況，卻始終是個很具價值(且仍在增長)的無形資產。 At the 1855 Exposition Universelle de Paris, Napoleon III campaigned for a classification system for Bordeaux wines and the Médoc Classification was born. Though the system conceived more than a century ago no longer fully reflects contemporary standards, it is still being followed and is considered a valuable, intangible asset.

Chateau Palmer戲劇性的Neo-Renaissance古堡建築，是 Margaux村莊中兩大地標之一，另一地標便是散發NeoPalladian式典雅的Chateau Margaux。 Chateau Palmer’ s dramatic Neo-Renaissance chateau is one of two landmark structures in Margaux village. The other one is Neo-Palladian Chateau Margaux.

01•原酒需在橡木桶中醞釀18-21個月，為免受木桶過度影響， Chateau Palmer採用的新舊木桶比例約是各佔一半。 The cru is left to mature in oak barrels for 18 to 21 months. To mitigate the impact of oak on the wine, Chateau Palmer uses half each of new and old barrels.

02•Thomas Duroux於2004年加盟Chateau Palmer，推行酒莊現代化改革不遺餘力，生物動力自然農耕法便是其得意之作。 Thomas Duroux joined Chateau Palmer in 2004, and has been instrumental in modernizing the winery. Biodynamic farming has been his vital contribution.

In the wine classification system dating back to Napoleon III, there are five growth levels, based upon the wine’s reputation and price. Chateau Palmer Margaux of Médoc, Bordeaux was ranked Third Growth, and it doesn’t seem content to stay there.

在拿破崙三世的酒莊級別版圖中，波爾多Médoc 地區中的Margaux村莊內，擁有三級身份的Chateau Palmer，似乎是近年「被」最不安於本份的一家酒莊。十年前香港某投資型飲家宣揚其以三級價錢大手購入一級酒莊（以酒質論）的紅酒；亦多謝他的高調推廣，今天Chateau Palmer的身價(定價)確與一級酒莊走得很近。Chateau Palmer的現任CEO及釀酒師Thomas Duroux滿有信心說他們向來自視與一級酒莊並無太大分別。

to his boast, the value of Chateau Palmer wines is nudging much closer to First Growth. Thomas Duroux, Chateau Palmer’s CEO and winemaster since 2004, says they have always seen themselves on par with First Growth wineries. More than 200 years ago, English General Charles Palmer bought Chateau de Gascq from the Gascq family and renamed it Chateau Palmer. The winery was overhauled and the wines soon became popular among the royals and nobility.

話說二百多年前，英國將軍Charles Palmer從 Gascq家族購入這原名為Chateau de Gascq的酒莊，改名為Chateau Palmer並大事改革，出品大獲英國皇室及貴族上流好友青睞，酒莊亦開始向著「能與Chateau Margaux相提並論」邁步。但奈何將軍財困，酒莊於1855年前易手。直到今天仍有說法，稱將軍當年若銀彈充裕可作些「疏通」， Chateau Palmer便不會只是三級云云…… 想知道這家三級酒莊為何能以一級酒莊價格售出的箇中因由？最實際當是是問問真金白銀付上鈔票的飲家（或投資者）。若你去問Thomas Duroux，相信他亦會欣然回答酒莊是如何得天獨厚、在葡萄種植(罕有的波爾多列級酒莊探用全Biodynamic生物動力自然農耕法)及釀酒方面的種種技術發展……

Ten years ago, a Hong Kong wine connoisseur/investor boasted that he had acquired a large quantity of first-class red wines at third-growth prices. Thanks

Sadly, Palmer got into financial troubles and the winery changed hands again before 1855. It’s been speculated that had Palmer had the financial muscle to influence the classification results, Chateau Palmer wouldn’t have been languishing in the Third Growth category. So the story went. What enables this Third Growth winery to command First Growth prices? This is best answered by those who put their money where their palates are. Duroux would probably credit the rich soil, the biodynamic growing methods adopted by Bordeaux wineries and the technological innovations applied to winemaking.

03•Chateau Palmer亦有價格相對較便宜的Alter Ego。 Chateau Palmer also offers a more budget-friendly choice, Alter Ego. 04•以被譽為「世紀之年」的2005配以Philippe Onrrico的烤鴿子，就是不可多得的一級波爾多風味。 The 2005“vintage of the century”delivers full Bordeaux flavours when paired with Philippe Onrrico’ s duck confit.

時至今日，這些酒吧已經不再地下。就好像座落於布雜式建築風格大樓內的Seville，樓上的單位前身便是一家地下酒吧，而 Seville正正是仿傚地下酒吧來打造。Seville位處的社區，是最早稱為「曼克頓」的地區，酒吧主打加入全新元素的經典雞尾酒，例如在客人面前調製的木燻Smoked Old Fashioned。雞尾酒在那個時候的地下酒吧是「必需品」，由於當時的 bathtub gins自家浴缸調配而成的gin酒及自釀私酒moonshine等，無論口感與氣味都難以下咽，因此酒吧便想到在酒中加入果汁。位於McKittrick 酒店內的Gallow Green酒吧，延續這傳統創製出各款精彩雞尾酒。於McKittrick酒店內開演的實境互動戲劇《不眠之夜》口碑載道，移師至上海公演時更熱爆全中國，而多倫多的劇作Eve of St. George亦以此演出為創作靈感。屋頂酒吧及餐廳Gallow Green就位於Sleep No More的演出場地之上。淺紫色的Sleep No More以此劇而命名，雞尾酒加入Absolute elyx伏特加、接骨木花、Dolin Dry苦酒、青檸、豆花及玫瑰蘋果酒調製而成。

This rooftop bar and restaurant is set above the home of Sleep No More, the phenomenal site-specific immersive theatre experience that has a spinoff in Shanghai, China, and inspired Eve of St. George in Toronto. The namesake cocktail of the production is made with Absolut elyx vodka, elderflower, Dolin Dry, lime, pea flower and rosé cider, in a beautiful shade of violet. 01•實境互動戲劇《Sleep No More》以莎士比亞作品《Macbeth》為創作靈感，但背景設定為20年代。圖為劇中一幕跳舞場景。 A dance scene from Sleep No More , an immersive theatre production based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth but transported to the ’20s.

Its $28 crudité bowl may sound ludicrous, but the highly-instagrammable vegetable dish is incredulously fresh and tasty and makes for a great sharing dish.

When Justin Timberlake walked through the James Hotel’s secret entrance to the Seville and started dancing, he unknowingly put a celebrity stamp of coolness on the red-hot growing trend of speakeasies. Speakeasies were where people drank during the Prohibition era of the 1920s. Because the manufacture and sale of alcohol was illegal in the U.S. during this period, these spots needed to be well-hidden. They were found behind fake walls and under trap doors at barber shops, bakeries, and — I am not sure if it’s folklore or real — an ice cream parlour. To enter, one needed to know the password.

Elite Life 雖然地下酒吧屬非法經營，但它們卻有自己的規則。我曾經在長島北岸一間優雅的精品酒店，邂逅了一家看似與酒店格格不入的地下酒吧。

長島距離紐約Penn火車站僅一小時車程。怡人的氣候、長 120公里的沙灘以及延綿起伏的田野景色，吸引了美國的富豪貴胄在這裡興建度假別墅，尤其於1920年代更是巔峰時期，電影《大亨小傳》對當時的情況有不少著墨。我在這家位於Jedediah Hawkins Inn內的地下酒吧門外，看到張貼著以下一些守則：「男士不容許接近女士。不准大笑，不准大聲叫囂，不准叫喊或作出任何嘈吵行為。在離開酒吧前跟友人說再見。離開酒吧時必須迅速及安靜。在酒吧以外地方不准提及酒吧。滴酒不沾最危險之處就是過分清醒。」禁酒令讓地下酒吧賣酒要低調神秘，那富豪們怎麼辦，莫非 Vanderbilt、Roosevelt及Guggenheim等在豪華別墅中開派對時，都只是只玩不飲？事實是，這些「老兄們」 (old sports)絕對可以盡情狂飲。因為禁酒令只禁止銷售、釀造及運輸酒精飲品，但不禁止擁有及飲用酒精飲品。富豪權貴早於憲法第18修正案頒布之前，已大量囤積酒精飲品。加上長島擁有延綿海岸線的地理優勢，簡直是走私者的天堂，亦有助富豪們輕易從非法途徑購入走私酒。他們的私人派對確實是奢華極致。我在猶太籍金融家及慈善家Otto Hermann Kahn的度假別墅Oheka Castle逗留了半天， Taylor Swift曾在這裡拍攝《Blank Space》的MV，而電影《大國民》一開場的場景亦在這裡拍攝。別墅面積達109,000平方呎，是美國第二大巨宅。回溯到1920年的全盛時期，意大利著名男

高音Enrico Caruso在這裡獻唱，差利卓別靈為晚宴的座上客，意大利指揮家Arturo Toscanini的指揮棒揮動悠揚樂章，英國國王愛德華八世更曾在這裡打高爾夫球。除此之外，還有其他豪華莊園大宅同樣值得參觀，包括Old Westbury Gardens (電影《美國黑幫》的拍攝場地) 、Sands Point Preserve (電影《教父》的拍攝場地)、Vanderbilt’s Eagle’s Nest(電影《鱷魚先生II》的拍攝場地)以及Roosevelt國家歷史遺址。

04•怎猜得到，這家位於長島North Fork的優雅莊園式酒店Jedediah Hawkins Inn，竟然隱藏了一家秘密酒吧。根據酒店網頁資料顯示，酒店建築物建於1863 年，它曾經是North Fork最高尚的豪宅，後來日久失修更傳出鬧鬼。不過現已重新翻新成為這家別緻的精品酒店。 Who would have guessed that there is a secret bar tucked away in the basement of the acclaimed Jedediah Hawkins Inn, an elegant mansion amid a pastoral setting in North Fork, Long Island? Built in 1863, the mansion was one of the finest residences on the North Fork before falling “into disrepair and becoming ‘haunted’”, says its website. It is now fully restored as a luxury boutique hotel with ample historic charm. jedediahhawkinsinn.com 05•Oheka Castle曾被《紐約時報》形容為「美國最高尚的鄉郊大宅」，經翻新現已成為全球最尊貴的婚宴場地之一。大家可選擇在這裡享用一頓浪漫晚餐 (私人宴會房間由$1,500起) 。莊園共有32間精心設計的客房，房價每晚由$395至$1,095。莊園亦歡迎大家參觀 (導賞遊連午餐$50) 。以上價格為美元。 Once described by the New York Times as the “finest country house in America”, the restored Oheka Castle is now touted as one of the most prestigious wedding and event venues in the world. Enjoy a romantic dinner (private rooms from $1,500), stay the night in one of 32 uniquely decorated rooms ($395 to $1,095 per night), or stop by for a mansion tour (guided tour and lunch for $50). All prices in U.S. funds. oheka.com

“Men are not allowed to approach women. No hooting, hollering, shouting or loud behaviour. Say your goodbyes inside. Exit the speakeasy briskly and silently.

Surely those “old sports” would not take it “dry”?

2018年款的Audi S5 Sportback具備跑車的動力和家庭車的實用性，試駕後更覺這是一部全能的轎跑車。相信部分打算購買SUV或旅行車的人士，看過S5 Sportback後可能會轉投這部轎跑車的懷抱。 Audi calls its 2018 S5 Sportback a “no compromise” vehicle that offers the power of a sports car and the practicality of a family sedan. After a few days with one, I couldn’t have said it better myself. This is a sports sedan that really does it all. And for today’s buyer who has his/her eye on an SUV or a wagon, the S5 Sportback is one car that might actually change a few minds and bring people back into the sedan fold.
