PUBLISHERS LETTER | January 2012

Dear Readers, In reflecting on the past and awaiting what is to come with great expectation, I cannot help but acknowledge our staff and advertising partners; we are very much a team here at FINE, and are ever grateful for the continued support and contributions of our readers and those involved. As publisher of San Diego’s luxury lifestyle magazine of choice, I’ve had the distinct privilege of meeting a host of incredible individuals - from readers and event attendees to professionals and officials at the top of their game; as a result, I am forever inspired to produce the best publication possible -- bringing to life the personalities, the charm and the lifestyle of San Diego County.

For this New Year, I implore you to simply live each moment; to relish in the joy, the memory and the fullness that life brings. Here’s to a year of endless possibilities and a season of renewal.

With much anticipation, we once again welcome the Humana Challenge [formerly the Bob Hope Classic] in La Quinta and the Farmer’s Insurance Open at Torrey Pines this month to the San Diego golf scene. And in celebration of both events, we introduce to you our inaugural Golf Issue for FINE; from fashion and lifestyle trends, to the fairways and putting greens along the coast and desert range, our entire January issue is dedicated to the very nature of the sport itself. In fact, San Diego County boasts more than 90 courses and is considered a top golf destination worldwide; coupling the lure of our mild climate, local landscape and SoCal culture trifecta.

As always, if you ever have a comment regarding our monthly magazine, we invite you to share your thoughts; send an email to info@finesd.com, as your feedback is much appreciated and valued.

Enjoy!

SPOTLIGHT NON-PROFIT | January 2012

Kids

Unifying community resources within North San Diego County, the North County Junior Golf Association is on a mission to simply make junior golf accessible, affordable and fun for kids of all ages and skill levels.

I

t cannot be denied that golf is, and always has been, a gentlemen’s game. Yet insofar as we are willing to accept the good with the bad, it must be conceded that this gentlemen’s game also comes at a gentlemen’s price.

Many prestigious members of the golf community have recently joined together around the rallying cry that golf has become prohibitively expensive — an issue which has special significance for younger practitioners of the sport. A good set of working golf clubs is expensive enough, without worrying about general equipment, course and driving range memberships, coaching fees, and a myriad of other considerations that might lead a parent to opt for the soccer ball or pair of running cleats.

22

f i n e m a g a z i n e s a n d iego

It will come as no surprise, then, that organizations are sprouting up all over the nation to tackle this issue head on. One of San Diego County’s chief advocates for affordable access to golf is the North County Junior Golf Association (NCJGA). Led by PGA member and California Top-50 Golf Instructor David Emerick, NCJGA has been working within the community for 13 years.

The not-for-profit was born out of Emerick’s vision that “any child who wants to learn to play the game of golf should have the opportunity.”

At the core of its outreach, NCJGA affords children ages 6-18 the opportunity to compete in youth events. Competition, Emerick says, “develops qualities such as sportsmanship, initiative, and

leadership.” These days, though, junior event entry fees can range in cost anywhere from $200-$400, not including travel or hotel accommodations. “This is why the NCJGA is a non-profit corporation,” he states. “We raise money through donations and offer kids scholarships to play in our events as well as other tournaments.” A NCJGA event runs parents around $45-$50 — at least four times less than the traditional price.

Youth golf tournaments are, for the most part, organized on an age-range basis; meaning, youth are paired against others their age, regardless of skill level, experience, or competitive motivation. The result is that tournaments usually end up favoring a few “elite” golfers who have been playing since an extremely early age. Often, new or prospective junior golfers can become intimidated by the unequal skill distribution within age-brackets, and opt for other competitive sports that are more accessible.

Correcting these imbalances in the current junior golfing landscape is a major platform for NCJGA. In fact, Emerick came up with the idea for the organization when his own son was barred from entry to a tournament on account of being too young. NCJGA has established tournaments that

pair youth competitors together based on skill-level and experience. The organization has found an innovative way to do this by creating what Emerick calls “flights within the division so kids can compete with others of the same abilities.”

NCJGA has also been reaching out to other San Diego community organizations to expand the scope of its programming. From their canned-fooddrive Thanksgiving Shootout and holiday support of Toys For Tots, to their current collaborative project with the North County Boys and Girls Clubs — which links up golf club donors with aspiring young players, NCJGA is doing its best to invest its time and energies back into important community initiatives.

As NCJGA and similar organizations continue to expand within the local community, it seems likely that golf will begin to become more accessible again to more children. After all, as Emerick makes a point to note, “It’s not all about the kids unless it’s about ALL the kids.” F

Annual Christmas Ball Celebrates 17th Anniversary at The Grand Del Mar Hosted by Commissioner Tom Groff and Commissioner Ramin Pourteymour [among others as well], the annual Christmas Ball – recently celebrating its 17th year anniversary at The Grand Del Mar – welcomed 1,600-plus guests on Christmas Eve. The black tie affair featured live music and dancing in the Grand Ballroom, along with a private preparty event for 100; attendees included Doug Manchester, Dr. Bruce and Mercedes Sahba, Leonard Simpson, Aloha Taylor, Mahtab and Mozhgan Mojab, T. Denny Sanford, Maxine Gellens, Farhad and Ati Yousefi, Katayoun Yazdani, Steve Moore and Officers Edmund Lavalle and Steve Willard.

More than 2,000 toys were donated by attendees, which were given to several charitable organizations throughout San Diego. The Family Justice Center and the San Diego Police Department’s Juvenile Services Division benefited from the donations, which serve domestic violence victims and underprivileged children; for many of the youth, the donation was the only gift they received for the holiday.

The Justice Center is honoring Commissioner Pourteymour by placing his name on their permanent donors’ wall this month. Upcoming events sponsored by the duo include the Easter Ball and the Summer Solstice.

An Iconic Crocodile of Fashion AND Fair Play

T

outing a full schedule of sporting events local to Southern California, the winter season once again debuts the fashion [and performance] of athletes and fans alike. From the tennis court to the fairway greens, an iconic embroidered crocodile has since 1933 transcended style and passion for the game; not to mention an international audience and a cult-like following.

The brand continues its new global trend of the “Unconventional Chic” mantra, extending fashionforward sportswear that allots consumers an experience of comfort and leisure with a touch of upscale elegance.

Rene Lacoste – originator of the brand and legendary tennis player who won three French Open titles and acquired two Wimbledon victories in the

28

f i n e m a g a z i n e s a n d iego

1920s – was responsible for bringing the traditional white polo tee and embroidered crocodile to life.

Alongside his wife, Simone, and daughter, Catherine, both award-winning professional golfers, Lacoste and his legendary family of athletes revolutionized fashion sportswear – even expanding their brand to include everything from high-end clothing and footwear, to fragrances, watches and eyewear, along with a home line of bedding and towels. Brand Ambassadors in tennis and golf are a natural fit, including the support of top ranked world golfers Yani Tseng and Cristie Kerr, as well as Virginie Lagoutte-Clément, Miguel-Angel Jimenez, Anders Hansen and Raphael Jacquelin.

Following in the acclaim of fashion notables Ruben Torres and Gilles Rosier, Felipe Oliveira

Baptista brings new direction to the crocodile’s 2012 Spring Collection. Most recently, the label was guided by Christophe Lemaire for nearly a decade; securing a more streetwise vibe with bolder colors and new silhouettes. Baptista’s vision incorporates volume, color and fabrics that are intended to make movement “stylishly nonchalant.”

“The 2012 Spring Collection is not about reviving the past or updating references, but expressing what Lacoste is today, through a functional silhouette meant from him and her yet never unisex, and a complete and versatile wardrobe,” notes the fashion icon. “With an obsession for reconstructing essential pieces from scratch, the designer turns them into something totally new yet reminiscent of one’s personal history, strangely familiar. Nothing is what it looks [like at] first; the Lacoste signature pique dress gets softer when knitted in silk, sophisticated yet still casual when fastened in the back. Rugby

Looking back, who would have thought that the invention of the embroidered crocodile started as a nickname for Rene Lacoste – who held a reputation for being a tenacious player, never giving up on his prey; thus establishing the core values of the French label, while maintaining a competitive edge within the sporting industry. His vision was simple, having created the light and breathable cotton providing athletes the freedom of movement to play with a sense of ease. “The Lacoste polo shirt is more than a worldwide bestseller: the embroidered crocodile on the heart, gives it an undeniable touch of distinction. It is a symbol of relaxed elegance which perfectly embodies the ‘easy chic’ philosophy of the brand.” F LACOSTE lacoste.com

Tea Upon Chatsworth 2180 Chatsworth Boulevard, San Diego [ cu4t.com ]

Timeless and unpretentious, Tea Upon Chatsworth is passionate about afternoon tea.

Noting its flavor, warmth and history, the Englishstyled tea room continues the simple tradition; much more than just a healthy beverage, it is an art.

Proprietor Joy Walsh has shared her enthusiasm and artistry of tea with clientele since Tea Upon Chatsworth’s opening in 2004; a vision that began as a catering service and worldwide quest touring top tea rooms in England and China – even lessons from tea master and author, Bruce Richardson. With a menu designed with a wide range of palette in mind, the boutique tea room in Point Loma touts a rather extensive selection; from Ceylon [Sri Lanka] or India’s full-bodies black to the lighter more subtle green or white from Japan or China, and oolong in between. Everyday tea classics remain on the menu year round, while others are rotated seasonally.

“Seeing the joy and happiness it brought to every person that experienced this beautiful and timeless tradition is what inspired me,” noted Walsh. “People

can’t help but fall in love with tea. Our menus center around the seasons, which make everyday tea special. Special events such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Princess [themed teas], [along with] some featuring notable speakers and authors are listed on our website, too.”

Beyond “High Tea,” Walsh goes the extra mile by offering events and classes that teach patrons of all ages the “Art of Tea;” including patience, the importance of communication and relationships, how to act in social settings, and reviews a brief history of the tradition. Laden with lace and florals, Tea Upon Chatsworth undoubtedly radiates an irresistible charm for tea time. F n Monthly Classes & Menu Highlights Everyday Etiquette for Children [ages 6-9]: In this 2-hour session, your child will learn about making introductions and the ABC’s of table manners; a threecourse meal is included. Reservations and prepayment are required.

Cream Tea: More of an in-between meal, enjoy this English tradition with signature Chatsworth scones and rose-petal jam with seasonal creams and fresh fruits, along with premium select tea.

the Pacific, the Torrey Pines Golf Club – easily recognized as the premier course in the region and host to the PGA Tour for the past four decades – is widely known for both its South and North championship 18-hole courses. Playing host to the Farmer’s Insurance Open in the winter, along with the San Diego City Amateur Golf Championships and the Junior World Golf Championships in early summer, Torrey Pines is the only municipal golf course ever selected by the USGA for a U.S. Open Golf Tournament. Often referenced as “Pebble Beach South,” both courses are long and challenging – but do offer unrivaled panoramas of the coast and ocean expanse. The signature hole on Torrey Pines South is the Par 3, #3 Hole; for Torrey Pines North, it is Par 3, # 6 Hole.

Torrey Pines was the site of perhaps the most memorable modern day U.S. Open Championship, when in 2008, under the typically brutal conditions of this major tournament, an injured Tiger Woods defeated Rocco Mediate during a sudden death playoff after 90 grueling holes of exciting golf.

Dining iN Coachella

While the desert valley of Palm Springs, La Quinta and Rancho Mirage have long been a playground for the entertainment industry – think Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra, snowbirds from Canada and vacationers from around the world, a progressive dining scene with notable chefs has begun to emerge within the past decade; golf may still be the main attraction, but ‘dining in Coachella’ helps make the drive from San Diego worthwhile.

Valley has also become a destination for fine dining.

ravelers to the Palm Springs desert region typically go for the golf – a popular pastime in the valley with nearly 270 courses and almost as many golf clubs. In taking note of the region’s “blessed” fairway greens, both the PGA and LPGA host annual tournaments in the winter; the most recognizable being, The Humana Challenge (previously known as the Bob hope Classic) and the Kraft Nabisco Championship (an LPGA “major”).

From finding inspiration to crafting signature dishes, Chefs Duffy, Schmidt and Olson offer FINE readers a bit of insight to their craft. Here are their thoughts:

Duffy: Satisfaction of diners; conversations with our members and hearing their expressions about their dining experiences.

Q: What inspires you the most?

Hugh Duffy [The Reserve Club]: The ability to be creative on a daily basis. We run more like a free standing restaurant than a club. [He also indicated that as a part of the farm-to-table concept he enjoys working with local growers in the Coachella Valley and Thermal areas.] We can call for produce and product and it is delivered the same day.

Chris Olson [Indian Wells Resort]: A happy guest! Making sure that we are doing the best that we can with what we have, using fresh ingredients.

Having the guest happy and satisfied so that they will be back is very important as is nurturing our staff and seeing our crew grow and develop.

Jimmy Schmidt [Morgan’s in the Desert]: The fresh ingredients; because of the area in which

f i n e m ag a z i n e s a n dieg o

Q: What gets you the most excited?

Olson: A full dining room and we have to cutoff our reservations because we have a full house. Also, getting positive responses from guests when I go out into the dining room; [it’s all about] having people leave with a smile.

Schmidt: Every ingredient that goes into a dish adds a unique flavor, they add layers of flavor. Every component present in the dishes can be tasted.

I like to have huge flavor profiles rich with flavor and not rich with butter and fat; the dishes are then incredibly pronounced in flavor.

Q: What do you like to work with the most?

Duffy: The protein I like the best is beef. It is versatile and expands the culinary experience. I also like to use infused olive oils.

Olson: Pork is pretty versatile. As a result, we have pork prime rib, green chili pork tostado, pork osso

bucco, pork rack, and pork chops on the menu.

earth, realistic people including the chefs at Four

Schmidt: I like to work with celery root, reforming into raviolis, gratins and pasta, and even risotto with raw celery root cut into the shape of rice – blanched for 60 seconds and blended into a puree of celery root; it has earthiness with truffles and great nutritional value. We also have a great beef program with the guys out of Nebraska with a 1970s-style of prime beef.

Seasons Chicago (Mark Baker) and James Boyce at

Q: What spice is indispensable / that you cannot do without?

Duffy: Fresh basil.

Olson: Cumin and coriander. We buy the whole seeds and they are roasted and then cracked, then used.

Schmidt: Fresh spiced ginger. I like its nutritional qualities, emulsion qualities and flavoring. It adds layers of flavor and it is indigenous to the U.S. as well; not just an Asian thing.

Q: What chef had the most influence on your training and development?

Duffy: Wolfgang Puck. He was an inspiration with California cuisine.

Olson: I had a lot of experience with down-to-

Loews in Coronado; [and also] Edward Becker of The Americana, a great gorge resort in New Jersey.

Schmidt: Madeleine Kamman, she absolutely was my mentor. She took me from the dark world of electrical engineering to the bright world of food and wine.

Q: Do you have a signature dish on your menu?

Duffy: A caramelized day boat scallop with braised leeks and Champagne caviar sauce. Another is a squab braised, with natural reduction with a little huckleberry in it, and Parisian vegetables in a cup on the side.

Olson: Braised short ribs and another is lobster macaroni and cheese.

Schmidt: Porcini beef tenderloin that is prepared in a vacuum treatment and flavoring, and mushrooms make it very special. We use Prime Certified Angus beef and it is the only program in this area of the world, using beef raised to 1970 prime standard. I cut my teeth at 21 in Detroit when ‘men were men’ and ‘prime was prime’ and three martini lunches were normal. F FINEsd.com

hen you think of luxury travel, what comes to mind? Take a moment and really think about it; where is the most exotic destination you have ever been, or would even like to visit at some point? Are you, perhaps, still searching? After a recent holiday for two, we discovered the Four Seasons Resort in Bora Bora – without a doubt, it is a true tropical paradise and quite worthy of its 2011 title as the #1 Resort in French Polynesia [and #23 in the world] by Conde Nast Traveler.

From Los Angeles, the flight to Tahiti is a mere eight hours with a quick island hop to Bora Bora; however, you can only make the transfer in daylight, as the airport runway is not equipped with proper

54

f i n e m a g a z i n e s a n d iego

lighting for night flights. As a side note, the Bora Bora airport is built on its own island or “motu,” as it is called in Tahitian. Once landed at this tiny little airport with one gate, you are taken to your hotel of choice via water taxi. In our case, an intimate staff of three assisted our transfer via a “small” 40foot yacht, whisking us to the Four Seasons along the eastern atoll of the island. In addition to luxury resort accommodations [including 100 overwater bungalows and seven beachfront villas, all designed with traditional thatched roofs and decorated with indigenous artwork], there are also year-round private residences available for purchase; lots start at $2 million Euro, with ocean or lagoon views, along with private beaches and the enjoyment of

FINEsd.com | BORA BORA TRAVEL BLOG n

Spanning a mere 16.9 square miles, Bora Bora in French Polynesia is best known for its white sandy beaches, lush tropical slopes and dotting bungalows atop an everalluring turquoise lagoon.

Speaking from personal experience, this quintessential tropical paradise is truly unlike anything you have ever experienced.

all-inclusive resort amenities.

The island itself is volcanic, encircled by sandfringe islets and an outer coral reef. As a result, the water is typically warm, calm and unbelievably clear! The lagoon is relatively shallow, and lends well to aquatic-centered activities, including a snorkel safari, scuba and kayaking. And for the more romantic gesture, a sunset sail aboard a private catamaran is an enticing escape.

From the moment you step onto the waterside yacht at the airport to your arrival at the dock for check-in, the service and hospitality is undeniably priceless; you are greeted with some of the kindest, warm-hearted people you will ever meet – which we were told is the “Tahitian Way.”

Our holiday for two in Bora Bora is simply the best we have ever taken. Why, you may ask?

Oh my, where to begin? Was it the helpful and friendly staff, or could it have been all the complimentary water activities? Stand up paddle surfing was our favorite, as it gives you a broader panorama of the sea life below – countless colors of fish and oversized rays home to the lagoon and coral gardens. Or, on second thought, was it the much welcomed warmth of sun kissed afternoons, the light breeze of the trade winds, dining alfresco, the unspoiled vast tracks of deserted white sand beaches, “coconut island,” the massive poolside cabanas or even the local flavors of Polynesia-South Pacific cuisine? So many choices!

For us, it was actually the accommodations themselves at the Four Seasons; the overwater bungalows, impeccably decorated, are simply magnificent! Upon check-in, you are greeted with cold towels and a drink; and somehow, the staff knows your name. A concierge then drives you via golf cart to your bungalow, over the winding and massive wooden roadway-bridge structures. Our room number was 423 and unveiled an incredible unobstructed view across the lagoon to the slopes along the center island. The multi-room, single story bungalows are the largest in French Polynesia and are often referenced as being “stadium sized” in several travel publications; with well appointed furnishings, the living space offers an open flow throughout, unfolding to an outside dining loggia and deck.

The bedroom suite and spa extends to a private outdoor deck for sun bathing and lounging; and without any hesitation, take a dip into the warm

56

f i n e m a g a z i n e s a n d iego

waters of the lagoon below. Complimentary snorkel gear is available on the patio, along with complimentary robes, slippers and beach bags.

The bungalows also feature floor viewing panels throughout the residence for a glimpse at the underwater world of Bora Bora. By far, the private patio with direct and easy access to the lagoon was an unexpected treat that tops the list for this locale.

It is good to know that whenever you go, there is really no off season in Bora Bora. The water comes from desalination and is safe to drink; and even though French and Tahitian are the official languages of the famed Society Islands, English is extremely common. Wedding and anniversary celebrations are certainly a natural fit, but in any case, it deserves top spot on your bucket list. You can certainly take our word for it!

SPOTLIGHT DR. MILLER | January 2012

A passion for

Performance All photography by William Daniels SR. of CustomPhotoArtistry.com

With the trust and confidence of his clientele and peers, Dr. Scott Miller – a La Jolla-based Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with 15 years of expertise – extends an artistic sense and an aesthetic eye to his craft; qualities that separate good results from great ones. And according to Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center’s philosophy, “The only evidence of the surgeon’s presence should be the restoration of beauty and vitality, [along with] improved contours and confidence.”

n today’s ultra competitive world of cosmetic surgery, too many surgeons have turned away from providing quality medical care that puts patients first; they have replaced time honored treatment traditions with an overemphasis on lavish offices and flashy marketing. However, Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center represents a paradigm shift, placing the focus back on patients and the outcomes they expect. In reality, this game-changing client-service approach is an example of “what is old is new.”

And the result? Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center is a

thriving practice fueled by word-of-mouth referrals and a long list of happy patients that even span multiple generations.

“If today’s cosmetic surgery practices are like libraries, then too many patients are confused by the covers they see, and they wind up with books they don’t like,” says Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Scott Miller. He explains that with the deluge of conflicting information about surgical procedures, separating truth from fiction can be a challenge.

Add to that a surgeon’s lack of identifying his or her patient’s particular needs, and the end results are clients who are disappointed with their procedures.

Caring Counts: An Innovative Approach Dr. Miller distills his client service model into four components; Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center’s P4P (Passion 4 Performance) approach addresses

the shortcomings of many of today’s cosmetic surgery practices. P4P comprises quality, integrity, safety and service. This four-part system has two objectives: pleasing results and satisfied patients.

“Consistently meeting these two goals is what allows my staff and me to sleep well at night,” notes Dr. Miller.

• Quality can be summed up by the Italian proverb, “Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle.” To achieve the highest form of a surgeon’s art requires attention to the subtlest of details.

• Integrity demands that surgeons act in-line with their stated values. For example, does the doctor follow through on his or her mission statement? “At the end of the day,” states Dr. Miller, “you are what you do, not what you say.”

• Safety simply stated, means putting the patient’s health and well-being above all else.

FINEsd.com | DR. MILLER SPOTLIGHT n

“Results matter…they matter to my patients and they matter to me.”

-Dr. Scott Miller

Preoperative and postoperative care must be as attentive and precise as the surgery itself.

In truly caring about his craft and ability to help his patients, Dr. Miller also participates in the

Interface International Volunteer Surgery Program.

So how many plastic surgeons meet the P4P standard? According to Dr. Miller, in any major city, you will find just a handful. “While many doctors attend to their work dutifully, in my experience only a few are truly passionate about what they do. It may take additional research and time to track one down, but once you do, you’ll have a surgeon for life,” he says.

How We Look Affects How We Feel Dr. Miller and his staff pursue the highest aesthetic ideals. A visit to the state-of-the-art facility on the campus of the renowned Scripps Hospital La Jolla reveals a cosmetic plastic surgery team committed to meeting their patients’ needs.

“Patients don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care,” says Dr. Miller.

From the moment patients arrive, the warmth and sincerity of Dr. Miller and his team are evident as they attentively listen, comprehensively inform, and provide customized recommendations.

The fully certified surgical suite is a safe, comfortable, private setting that fosters artistically precise treatment. Seeing Dr. Miller’s honest, unretouched before-and-after photos makes it clear that plastic surgery is a blending of art and science.

Far from finding his work a burden, Dr. Scott Miller cherishes it as a privilege. “I wake up every day feeling I deserve nothing and knowing I need to earn my patient’s trust and respect through performance. I have a passion for performance,” he says. F Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center millercosmeticsurgery.com

marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how Ally Wise works.

In her experience as a Rancho Santa Fe real estate professional, she has found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting her clients first. What does this entail for Ally? She comments, “This means keeping myself accessible, being an active listener, and NEGOTIATING for every last penny. It is funny when you are dealing with such large selling prices. Often a client will not concentrate on a $4000-5000 negotiable item like a repair. I have to remind them the purchasing power this amount of money has after the transaction is closed. I never lose sight of my client’s money.

Never.”

This “client first” philosophy has always been her approach and it requires her to continually

Lobster Avocado & Pamplemousse Salad Sweet & Sour Red Onion, Micro Greens, Poppy seed Dressing

Pam plemousse Grille

Solana Beach, CA

Chef/ Owner Jeffrey Strauss has a flair for presentation and an unquestionable talent for taste that has delighted the palates of the world’s most powerful business brokers, socialites, United States Presidents and both American and foreign dignitaries. He has turned from the world of “Chef to the Stars” to creating food that’s more personal and serving his family and friends.

Throughout his nine years at Glorious Food (1985-1993), Strauss took leaves of absence to concentrate on higher learning in some of Europe’s finest Michelin-rated restaurants. Upon his return, armed with big and fresh ideas, Jeffrey applied many of the newly acquired creative techniques by teaching the staff at Glorious Food what he had learned. The culture of sharing knowledge and inspiration at Glorious Food is one of the reason’s that the highly regarded catering company has maintained a competitive advantage for such a long period of time.

Strauss’ eclectic inspirations for Pamplemousse Grille are drawn from the New Jersey farm of his grandparents, where he visited frequently as a child. He brought these inspirations to the prime Solana Beach location of the restaurant, just moments from the Pacific Ocean, across the street from the Del Mar Racetrack and down the road from acclaimed produce farms, nature preserves and polo grounds.

When he opened Pamplemousse Grille in 1996, Strauss made a personal statement with the casual yet elegant atmosphere, and inspired yet straightforward food that delights all the senses. His menu at Pamplemousse Grille melds his many creations and inspirations from his tenure as Executive Sous Chef and Executive Chef at Glorious Food, and his many travels to Europe.

In 2008 Jeffrey was honored to accept the 2008 ‘Nice Guy of the Year’ award from the very generous San Diego charitable foundation known as the ‘Nice Guys’.

This organization’s focus is to empower struggling local families. This honor has been one of his more meaningful achievements due to its profound effect on the community he calls home.

Since its debut, Pamplemousse Grille has received many local and national awards including: “Best Restaurant, People’s Choice” San Diego Home & Gardens, “Best New Restaurant” “Best Caterer” and “San Diego’s Best Chef” San Diego Magazine, Zagat Rated #1 Restaurant in San Diego for three consecutive years.

FASHION GOLF & RESORT | January 2012

“There’s no reason a woman’s fashion can’t be as good as her game.”

- Vivian

Sayward, founder of Vivacity

Course to Clubhouse

By Michele Lynne

Recently debuting their Winter Fashion Collection, Vivacity Sportswear, a newly founded fashion boutique in San Diego, combines femininity and function; featuring Swarovski crystal detailing, color blocking and stylish pieces, the collection can be worn from course to clubhouse.

A

imed at reinventing a woman’s appearance on and off the course, Vivacity Sportswear, recently launching their fashion label this past fall in La Jolla, takes inspiration from the latest fashion runway trends; coupled with the comfort of performance wear, the brand hopes to celebrate and inspire today’s woman with elegantly modern golf and resort attire. Founded by San Diego entrepreneur Vivian Sayward, Vivacity, unlike most brands, is created for women, by women – who also enjoy afternoon golf and resort amenities; their

116

f i n e m a g a z i n e s a n diego

goal is simple: bringing fashion to the sport that also compliments a busy lifestyle.

“We approached our collection with the desire for pieces that could be worn from course to street,” said JoAnn Jack, fashion industry veteran and creative director at Vivacity who spent many years overseeing golf resort merchandising. “Unlike traditional golf outfits that are boxy in silhouette and color-coordinated as if from a child’s closet, Vivacity’s color palette is not only directional but practical, the forms are well fitting and because they were inspired by runway trends, every piece can work into a woman’s existing wardrobe.”

Four looks define the debut collection, affording luxe detailing and soft performance fabrics. The selection features: Sport Zip, with graphic color blocking; Spectator Sport with playful patterns of black and white dots; Crystal Classics featuring

FINEsd.com | GOLF & RESORT FASHION n sheer fabric detailing and Swarovski crystal accents; and the Regal Collection, rooted in rich colors and featuring a faux snakeskin and fur accessory bag with hidden tee holders.

Q: Where will Vivacity Sportswear be available?

Vivian Sayward: The entire collection will be available [on our website] and at select shops including The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe and The Crosby. Complete list of retailers available on the site as well.

Q: Any personal favorites in the collection?

Sayward: We have received [much praise] for the quality of the fabric and the chic designs. Women have fallen in love with two pieces in particular: The long-sleeve black top with Swarovski crystal zipper and sheer sleeves – it’s an understated elegant, sexy top that can be worn for post-game cocktails. The other popular item is our ruche top; let’s face it, we all have areas we like to hide and the ruching does just that while accentuating other areas! It’s performance wear that’s oh so feminine too.

Q: What has been the reaction on the golf course or even on the street?

Sayward: ‘Oohs’ and ‘aahs’ – when they see the crystal detailing and then when they touch the fabric.

And surprise when they realize it’s a golf line! We’ve even had men comment on the sophisticated designs, and some have purchased items for their wives...that says a lot! We’ve also received a great amount of admiration for designing and manufacturing locally.

Q: Any hints on what’s in store for the Spring Collection?

Sayward: We design for classic women, so you’ll see jewel tones in the collection. And we also look to the runways for inspiration, so don’t be surprised to find hints of colors that are au courant as well as chic accessories for golfers on the go.

homes on Coronado with an elegant refurbishment, enlivening the historical perspective with the vibrancy of contemporary living or starting from scratch, Jackman clearly has a compelling touch.

Founding the Jackman Group in 1978, she weaves various multi-disciplinary parts into an historic and organic whole that includes planning, design and construction.

And while it is history that seems catalytic in energizing Sheryll’s accomplishments, it is her demonstrable talent for a kind of casual elegance that does not confine itself to any particular design style. Rather, with Sheryll shepherding the Jackman Group she instead focuses on delivering impeccable historical preservations as the home or client selects.

Further facilitating this acumen: the Construction Team headed by Harry Jackman, the recently converged retail side of the home furnishings as

DESIGNING LIFE So many home designs cast a sense of light while being successfully anchored with darker accents to root the historical perspective with today’s casual elegance. Through this technique, Jackman’s design team style spans decades and a century or two as light stone and rich dark woods often mingle, serving both comfort and artistic expression of each era.

Additionally, the designs may incorporate varying cultural styles as well. One might find lovely Asian, African or European accents in wall hangings or a well-placed couch, side table or chair alongside the quintessential American sofa, bed or settee.

Somehow, the global perspective of casual comfort fused with the richness of America’s coastal history and current lifestyles effectively display equal parts energy and relaxation.
