I am a polo fan. My love for the sport first took hold at Grand Champions Polo Club in Wellington when I watched polo greats Nic Roldan and Sugar Erskine jump their mounts full gallop over the sideboards in front of me, mallets cracking for control of the ball. Out of the play now rushing toward goal, both riders checked, turned, and sped back into the fray. Everything about the sport—the speed, the players’ skill, the horses’ agility, and the danger—happened in that moment fewer than three feet from where I sat. I’ve been hooked ever since. Now, most every Sunday from January to April, you can find me perched along the backfields or roaming the grandstands of the International Polo Club Palm Beach. The ponies, the players, and the fans represent a wandering tribe ever seeking the perfect climate for play. None, of course, more perfect than the paradise we enjoy here in South Florida. Players from around the world come to compete, but also to relax and enjoy “winter” in Palm Beach. Who could blame them? In the United States, the Palm Beaches have emerged as the winter home of equestrian sports. Hunter jumpers, dressage, and polo each represent very different yet interconnected equine disciplines. Years of training, drive, and focus bring riders of all skill levels to the arenas and fields that dot the western reaches of Palm Beach County. We are fortunate to enjoy such a concentration of talent and the economic impact such sports engender. Beyond the fields of competition, horses are also good for the soul. Our marketing manager dedicates her time to Hand of Hope Center in Palm Beach Gardens, where programs include therapeutic riding for disabled individuals of all ages. Palm Beach Illustrated supports and promotes the activities of the Polo Players Support Group, which provides needed assistance for seriously injured players and grooms. Sturdy mounts help shoulder the load carried by many in our community. Never rode a horse before? Not a problem—I’ve only been on three in my lifetime. At the arenas or on the pitch, I encourage you to discover what I found on the polo field six years ago. Whether you ride or simply take in the spectacle, horses will get into you. They certainly got into me.

From the Editor
January is an exciting month in Palm Beach County—not only because of the lively social scene, but also because equestrian pursuits are in full swing. From show jumping and dressage to high-goal polo, the winter equestrian competitions are spectator sports without equal: regal and refined, yet bristling with adrenaline. This issue of Palm Beach Illustrated is devoted to equestrianism and all its pleasures and trials. Our cover story this month is on Kelly Klein, long a decorated equestrian who only recently stopped riding competitively. But Kelly’s love for the sport and for horses endures and is permanently documented in her work. Her photographs depict horses at rest and at full intensity, emphasizing the power and beauty of these equine athletes. Of course, Kelly’s body of work, which spans decades, covers much more than horses. Her images have remarkable breadth, ranging from high fashion to everyday objects treated reverently, and demonstrate the notion that beauty is found in all things, even the most common and unexpected. The photos also convey a razor-sharp minimalism consistent with Kelly’s own aesthetic. We were fortunate to meet and photograph Kelly in her waterfront home in Palm Beach. She was ever gracious and down-to-earth, a pleasure in every way. We snapped a few behind-the-scenes images (right) to document the team, led by photographer Ben Fink Shapiro, at work. For the final cut, turn to page 80 for “Picture Perfect,” the Kelly Klein story. Also this month, we introduce a fun new feature throughout the book. Readers continually ask us for “editor’s picks” in every category—essentially what we are loving now. Look for the black Editor’s Pick badges on many of our pages, starting with this one. These will grace our pages every month and will be featured on our weekly segments of The Scene, the video log produced in partnership with our friends at CBS12. Whether you’re out at the polo matches or watching Olympic hopefuls compete in the ring during the Winter Equestrian Festival, enjoy all things equestrian this month and all season long. See you in Wellington.

1 tbsp. cilantro, finely chopped 24 King’s Hawaiian mini dinner rolls, top sliced
illustrated.com/ partybites.
Pickle slices for garnish Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce to a simmer. Add shrimp and poach until the center is opaque—about 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and put in an ice bath to cool. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, green curry paste, lemon juice, mango chutney, and cilantro; season with salt and pepper, and add more mayonnaise if desired. Chop shrimp into small pieces; add to bowl of mayonnaise mixture and combine thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate. Preheat oven to 350. Place dinner rolls on a baking sheet and toast to a light golden color. To serve, divide shrimp mix into the rolls by pressing a spoonful into the cut across the top. Garnish with a pickle slice.

Although the United States dressage, eventing, and show-jumping teams won’t be announced until July, Palm Beach County’s equestrian community is already buzzing over who will be trotting off to the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, to be held August 5-21 in Brazil. While accumulated tournament scores, chef d’equipe picks, and even a horse’s health may contribute to the final selection, there is no shortage of local superstars. PBI spoke with four Olympic hopefuls—Ali Brock, Beezie Madden, McLain Ward, and Shelly Francis—about lucky charms, equine behavior, and bringing home the gold. Turn the page for profiles on these outstanding equestrians. —Kerry Shorr

Top Achievement Jumping into the international ring with my horse, Rosie, and scoring above a 70 percent. Lots of people work really hard and never touch that. Lucky Charm I carry a tiepin from a trainer and a stuffed dinosaur Sue Blinks (former Olympic medalist) gave me. The toy goes to all the horse shows and stays in Rosie’s stall. Toughest Venue The Washington International Horse Show. The warm-up area is tiny, and there are horses and people everywhere. It was epically hard on the horse, but he did a great job coping. Equine Trivia Horses can sense emotional intonation and know when riders are happy with them or not. They’re also herd and prey animals, so they’re designed to run away from what they’re afraid of. It’s how they survive.

Discipline Show jumping Olympic Bid Longines FEI World Cup Jumping qualifier winner; gold medalist at 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games; team member at 2012 Olympic Games; silver medalist at 2006 World Equestrian Games; gold medalist at 2011 Pan American Games; competitor in 14 FEI World Cup Finals. Golden Dreams I’ve already won two Olympic gold medals, but to represent my country for the fourth time would be a dream come true. Best in Show No one powerhouse dominates [at show jumping]. It’s constantly evolving, and even the less-experienced countries have a good chance there. Horse Sense These top horses have an ego and take pleasure in the jobs they do. They understand there’s something special about them, and they enjoy being important. Girls vs. Boys There’s no division between men and women in this sport. Some riders manage with power, others with finesse, but at the end of the day, the power comes from the horse. Jumping Advice First, you have to choose the life. You can work toward the Olympics, but if you don’t get there it’s not a failure. It’s a worthy journey.

Palm Beach County is kicking off 2016 in the fast lane with SuperCar Week. From January 2-10, hundreds of automobiles will be on display to celebrate the art and technology of speed and design. For its sixth annual incarnation, SuperCar Week makes stops throughout the county, including at the International Polo Club Palm Beach’s opening day January 3 and at the Palm Beach International Raceway on January 8, for a full-day driving experience. Our top pick from this motor marathon is the event’s grand finale: Sunday SuperCar SuperShow on January 10. Free and open to the public, the SuperShow will line one mile of the West Palm Beach waterfront with crazy cool cars and will also boast live music and entertainment. All of this automotive excellence prompted West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio to officially proclaim the second week of January as SuperCar Week, so go ahead and start those engines. (954-296-5204, supercarweek.com) —M.M.
think that translates into the clothes and the way we design our products and stores.” Antle’s influence extends beyond clothing design. An award-winning commercial director, he conceives and shoots the company’s campaigns and loves seeing his vision in action. “I probably enjoy shooting the most,” he says. “It may be because I am still a film snob, but I try to inject cinema in everything we do.” Despite his rigorous work ethic, Antle does find time to unwind, whether that means darting off to his favorite island—St. Barths—or scooting around West Palm on his green dirt bike his employees affectionately call Kermmy. One thing’s for sure: He’s happiest on the beach, where his ideal day consists of “tanning—and maybe a cocktail or two. I’m not that needy.” (561-655-3231, islandcompany.com) —Mary Murray
“Quit your job, buy a ticket, get a tan, fall in love, never return.” So reads the Island Company credo emblazoned on countless T-shirts, wine bags, beach sheets, and iPhone cases. Spencer Antle, the founder and creative director of the West Palm Beach–based clothing line, embodies this philosophy with one important exception: He worked really, really hard to launch his business. “It’s kind of like climbing Mount Everest. I am happy I did it, but I sure as hell would not go through it again,” Antle says. “Balance is a tricky thing when you have a company moving as fast as [ours]. We have to remember ourselves first and try to sneak some fun into all this ‘work fun’ we are having.” A devoted island hopper, Antle started Island Company in 2002 when he designed a few bikinis for his then-girlfriend to wear on a Caribbean getaway. That line of 13 suits has since evolved into a popular lifestyle brand of men’s and women’s apparel and accessories sold in storefronts throughout the country, including a playful outpost on Worth Avenue. Proximity to the water, Antle believes, is key to Island Company’s success. “Our Worth Avenue store is 100 yards from the beach, and our studio in West Palm is 100 yards from the water, too,” he says. “Being in the What’s the story behind sunshine and the Antle’s signature red hat?

Oxbridge Academy student Jhada King with Wall Street Farm’s Steve Lengyel
Ready to Ride Oxbridge Academy students can now call the stable the classroom because the West Palm Beach private high school has added an Interscholastic Equestrian Association team to its athletic roster. Introduced this fall, the program comprises about a dozen competitive riders and several students learn-
ing the basics of the sport at the club level. “We have a handful of students who have never ridden a horse before,” says Athletics Director Craig Sponsky. In addition to learning the basics of horsemanship, students also train in hunter/jumper and dressage at Wall Street Farm in Boynton Beach. The training is paying off, as the competitive team won Grand Champion at its first show in late October. The equestrians will continue to compete this school year, with shows scheduled for January 9-10 at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in Wellington and January 30-31 at the Plantation Equestrian Center. Oxbridge Academy also has the infrastructure to support a polo team, Sponksy notes, and is just waiting for interested students to pick up a mallet. (561-9729600, oapb.org) —M.M.

the Exhibitions In addition to its three Warhol exhibits, the Boca Raton Museum of Art will present a number of Warhol-centric events this month. Mark your calendar for:
The Warhol Experience

January 24: “Bob Colacello: In and Out with Andy.” In this Boca Talk, Colacello explains the reality behind his photos and delves into the man behind the art.
Clockwise from top: Apple, from Ads, Andy Warhol; Queen Elizabeth II, from Reigning Queens, Andy Warhol; Andy Warhol Backstage with Raquel Welch, Bob Colacello.
January 28: “Chris Lopez: Screen Printing.” As part of the museum’s Artist at Work series, Lopez demonstrates how he uses silkscreen printing—a technique popularized by Warhol—to create wearable art. January 30: Gala and After Party. D.J. Jellybean Benitez and performance artist Michael Israel will infuse the Boca Raton Museum of Art’s annual gala with the essence of Warhol’s factory. January 31: “Consumption x Production.” The Warhol Museum’s director, Eric Shiner, joins this Boca Talk to discuss the social and economic milieu in which Warhol worked.

On January 25, H.O.W. Hearing the Ovarian Cancer Whisper will highlight the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women at its annual Time is of the Essence Luncheon at The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach. Now in its fifteenth year, the event will feature former Paramount Pictures Chairman and CEO Sherry Lansing as its guest speaker. In a casual conversation, editor and author Pamela Fiori (pictured) will talk with Lansing about her experiences as well as the Sherry Lansing Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes cancer research among other initiatives. Both Lansing and Fiori have faced diversity in their careers—the former as the first woman to head a major film studio and the latter as the first female editor of Town & Country magazine—and have also dedicated a portion of their lives to cancer philanthropy. Ahead of the event, Fiori opened up to PBI about work, life, and health. (561-406-2109, howflorida.org) —M.M.
PBI: What advice would you give to young women who want to follow in your career footsteps? Fiori: Work your you-know-what off. If you are looking for a career, don’t treat it as a nine-to-five job; do more than what is expected of you. Learn when to speak up and when to listen—especially when to listen. Be open-minded and positive. And for heaven’s sake, don’t behave, dress, or think like a man. What traits do women need to excel in their careers? Talent, first and foremost. Drive, energy, convictions, and a strong sense of ethics and fair play. What would you tell women who want to take control of their health? Be your own best advocate. Always get a second opinion. Take care of yourself: Eat sensibly, drink moderately, be active (both physically and intellectually), but don’t be overly self-involved so that you neglect others. What words of encouragement would you share with someone recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer? Have courage. Lean on others who reach out to you. Use every resource open to you. Live every day to the fullest, if you can. Spend time with those you love and who love you.

does Warhol make?’ And now, 100-plus Warhol prints later, it’s turned into quite a collection.” While Bell has previously lent his Escher catalog to the Boca Raton Museum of Art, this is the first time his expansive collection of Warhol silkscreen suites will be on display. More than anything, he is looking forward to sharing his acquisitions with the masses. “It’s not so much about buying and collecting it, but I believe art should be shared,” he says. “I get a lot of joy out of watching other people react to it.” (561-392-2500, boca museum.org) —M.M.

The Boca Raton Museum of Art celebrates the late great pioneer of pop art, Andy Warhol, with three new exhibitions opening January 26. Each spotlights a different side of this enigmatic artist, who blurred the line between life and art. After all, as Warhol once noted, everyone needs a fantasy. Find your fantasy first with “Warhol on Vinyl: The Record Covers, 1949-1987.” Warhol was a prolific cover album artist, and this exhibit features a selection of such works augmented with video and sounds. Then, get to know his infamous pension for partying with “Bob Colacello: In and Out with Andy.” Colacello’s intimate photographs captured Warhol’s frenetic Factory scene and the celebrities who moved in and out of his social circle. For a comprehensive view of Warhol’s output, check out the Warhol prints on loan from Boca Raton investor Marc Bell, who has been amassing his gallery for about a decade. Despite the colorful spirit of his collection, which includes pieces from Warhol’s Ads series, Bell’s first big art purchase was Ascending and Descending, a dark lithograph print by Dutch artist M.C. Escher. That acquisition led Bell to buy additional Escher images, but he knew he needed something vibrant to offset Escher’s dreary palette. “I used to own an Apple [computer] reseller in New York,” Bell explains. “There was an auction I was at, and they had the Apple print from [Warhol’s] Ads collection. I bought the Apple print, and I was like, ‘Wow, that looks pretty nice. It’s color. What else

Spirit
This year, one of Palm Beach’s most beloved nonprofit organizations, the Junior League of the Palm Beaches, turns 75 years young. The volunteer group was formed in 1941 by 15 young women who wanted to support soldiers and their families during WWII. Today, with roughly 800 members, JLPB is focused on assisting children and young adults in the foster-care system. And it isn’t just the community that benefits; the women of the league also grow as civic leaders. In 2016, JLPB will honor its seventy-fifth with a special gala March 12 as well as an anniversary community project to renovate Vita Nova, a living facility for young adults who’ve aged out of foster care. To get a picture of life as a junior leaguer, PBI spoke with Penny Murphy, who joined the league in 1977, and her daughter Camille Murphy Kubicek, an active member since 2008. (561-689-7590, jlpb.org) —M.M.

Penny: If you go back to the ’40s when it started, these women were able to pull that group together and to start one little program at a time, but they really impacted a lot of people. How have the organization and its members evolved over the years? Camille: The requirements are a lot easier
now; [my mother] had to do 40 volunteer hours a year, and they’ve made it more adjustable for the modern woman. Also, we’ve grown a lot. We’ve added a lot more [volunteer opportunities]. We’ve built a lot of places. We’re still keeping them up and restoring them and making them new. We’re always trying to open new doors to what else we can do and add to the program. Penny: The women of today, they’re able to balance so many more things. They’re working. They have kids. The women who are in it come from so many different places, and they bring so many different experiences that we weren’t exposed to as young women.
PBI: What is the Junior League of the Palm Beaches’ mission and legacy? Camille: The mission is to give back to the community. There’s a lot of stuff we started here before the city grew. We started the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium, we do eye and ear screening [for preschool-

Camille: When I came here, I was really shy. It helped me open up. Besides the social aspect of it, learning to work with others who need help is incredibly important, and that helps you mature a lot, too. Penny: I remember someone told me one time that they take your weaknesses and turn them into strengths. I’ve really seen a great strength and confidence in what Camille’s been able to do.

Polo portrait by Franklin B. Vo ss
Tucked away in Lake Worth, on the border of Wellington, sits the Museum of Polo and Hall of Fame. Founded in 1984, the museum opened in its current location in 1997 and is the only polo museum in the world. “I personally find it an awesome responsibility to have to collect and preserve this history, because if we don’t have this building a lot of it would be lost,” says Brenda Lynn, the museum’s director of development. The museum showcases the history of polo in the United States in its collection of art, trophies, artifacts, and documents as well as its hall of fame, which honors heroes of the sport—both human and equine. The museum recently underwent a renovation that added 2,500 square feet, allowing for even more exhibitions that range from women in polo to the evolution of the mallet. Below, we outline five treasures to check out on your next visit to horse country. (561-969-3210, polomuseum.com) —M.M. 1. Pairs trophy from the 1980s: Lynn’s favorite piece in the collection, this trophy was the first ever constructed for a U.S. polo match and exudes a charming folk-art aesthetic. 2. Tom Mix’s saddle: Like many posh people of the early 1900s, silent movie star Tom Mix loved to play polo. While most polo saddles are smooth, his was tooled like a western saddle, as he frequently starred in westerns. 3. U.S. Open Polo Championship trophy: The Museum of Polo is the official keeper of this coveted trophy. Each year, it is escorted to the tournament and then returned to the museum emblazoned with the name of the new championship team. 4. Horses to Remember: The equine section of the Hall of Fame includes realistic portraits by artist Melinda Brewer and a push-and-play display that allows visitors to learn about each memorable horse. 5. Franklin B. Voss artwork: Remembered as one of the best equine artists of the past century, Voss captured images of polo players and ponies. The Museum of Polo has three of his paintings and a selection of his artistic plates.

Escape Swiss Perfection Summer or winter, Gstaad and its storied palace beckon to well-heeled visitors
Daphne nikolopoulos
By Daphne Nikolopoulos

t’s a scene out of a storybook: On top of a hill amid the pines, with snow-dusted peaks rising in the distance, sits a palace fit for royalty. Flags whip atop its turrets and towers, and you half expect a sentry to emerge from the ramparts, bugling the arrival of a royal couple to address their subjects gathered below. Technically, places like that exist only in Disney movies—with one notable exception in the Swiss Alps. The chalet in question, Gstaad Palace, may not be a royal

domain, but its history and legend suggest otherwise. It opened in 1913 as a luxury hotel, later catering to families of boarding school students (the winter campus of the fabled Institut Le Rosey is in Gstaad). Despite two world wars and many financial ups and downs, it has remained true to its five-star origins—a distinct advantage in Gstaad, where old-school European glamour reigns supreme. Visiting in winter is a ritual for moneyed Europeans (and an increasing contingent of Americans), who descend upon Gstaad’s 100-plus miles of slopes for skiing, snowboarding, and other snow sports. One of the coolest (literally) activities on the mountains: crossing the Peak Walk by Tissot at Glacier 3000 (glacier3000.ch). This suspension bridge connecting two peaks 66

at 10,000 feet is not for the acrophobic, but it affords a view that cannot be duplicated elsewhere. Gstaad Palace is a destination for the winter throngs, not only as the supreme place to stay, but also for après-ski fun. The place to go after dark is GreenGo, the hotel’s nightclub (greengo.ch). The club opened in 1971 and still recalls a ’70s disco in both decor and vibe. In winter, the place is absolutely pulsing with the partying jet set, including celebrities like Madonna, David Bowie, and Carey Mulligan, all of whom have been spotted here. La Fromagerie, located on the hotel’s basement level, is another winter ritual. What is now a popular fondue
Gstaad Palace (below and opening page) overlooks the town (above) with its charming wooden chalet architecture (left).
MUST DOS:
• Take the cable car from Gstaad to Wispile, then trek across the pass and down to Lake Lauenen. Superb view. • Book a Pitanguy oxygen facial at the Palace Spa and marvel at the immediate lift. For a more intense experience, go for the hammam ritual, which involves a foam bath, flotation, and massage. • Learn how to make Swiss chocolate at the Atelier du Chocolat at Maison Cailler.

spot was once a vault where all the Swiss gold was stored during World War II. The armored door is still there to prove it. Descend the steps into this traditional Swiss eatery and swoon over the smell of raclette and gruyère slowly melting into fondue. Every winter season, La Fromagerie serves four tons of cheese fondue, particularly the truffle-Champagne variety that is the specialty of the house. Though winter is the main attraction in Gstaad, summer is just as charming. This is the time to break out the hiking shoes and do a bit of exploring in the backcountry. Of the several hikes accessible from Gstaad, the one that should not be missed is the trek to Walig Hut, about two and a half hours’ walk from town (walig-hut.ch). Gstaad Palace’s alpine outpost, the Walig Hut is an eighteenth-century farmstead sit-

The fire in the open hearth rages, warming the hand-hewn wood cabin. Maurizio Pagliano, the caretaker, greets hikers with a glass of wine and a board of dried meats, all locally produced and as pure as they come.

by homemade cookies and petits fours. Though a morning hike and lunch is the most popular way to experience the hut, overnight options are available. The bed, set with duvets and animal skins, is a notch above glamping, but those with a spirit of adventure—and a yearning to hide— will find bliss here. For all others, there is the comfort of the Gstaad Palace, with its dramatic views, expertly yet unpretentiously remodeled suites, and authentic Old World charm. It’s truly a modern fairy tale.

One of the pleasures of living in South Florida is the ability to hop over to the Caribbean in a matter of hours. Feeling the need for an escape Friday morning? Book an afternoon flight and arrive in time to watch the sunset over azure waters, piña colada in hand. Few island destinations are as easy to travel to as the Puntacana Resort & Club in the Dominican Republic. The resort owns the nearby Punta Cana International Airport, which hosts direct flights from 96 cities including Miami. It also offers a VIP arrival service that puts you at the front of the customs line and delivers you directly to your room. Rest assured, this will be the only rushing you do the entire trip. In Punta Cana, island time is the norm and relaxation the only creed. The Punta Cana tourists know and love today is largely a byproduct of the Puntacana Resort & Club. In the early 1970s, Dominicanborn Frank Rainieri and American investor Ted Kheel began development on a lot in the southeastern province of La Altagracia. What started out as a 10-villa hotel grew into a high-end, allinclusive destination that sparked economic growth throughout the region. In 1997, singer Julio Iglesias and the late fashion designer Os-
car de la Renta became co-investors and built homes on the property, signaling a new era of luxury living in the Dominican Republic. Today, Puntacana Resort & Club homeowners include Iglesias, Annette de la Renta (Oscar’s wife), and Russian dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov. A handful of the resort’s 310 homes and 80 condos are available for rent, meaning you can enjoy the wonders of paradise in a secluded residential environment complete with a full kitchen, private pools, and staff. Of course, you could always settle for a beachfront villa in Tortuga Bay, Puntacana’s AAA Five Diamond boutique hotel. De la Renta designed the interiors of each room as well as the magnificent Bamboo restaurant, where chef Marco Antonio Paz del Alamo marries local ingredients with Mediterranean

flavors to arrive at such inspiring dishes as mango gazpacho with pineapple froth and red snapper with yucca risotto. Tortuga Bay is just one slice of the Puntacana Resort & Club’s 26-square-mile property, which also comprises The Westin Puntacana Resort & Club, the Six Senses Spa, eight restaurants, the Oscar de la Renta Tennis Center, and three miles of beaches. You could easily spend the entire vacation tanning on said beaches, escaping periodically to grab a signature passion-fruit mojito or fresh ceviche at the open-air Playa Blanca restaurant. Should you stray from your cabana in search of something more rigorous, book a round of golf at one of the resort’s two world-class courses: the P.B. Dye–designed La Cana or Tom Fazio’s Corales, situated between cliffs and overlooking the Caribbean Sea. There’s also kite surfing, snorkeling, diving, beach yoga, and horseback riding—among other onsite activities. All of this fun and luxury comes at an environmental cost, but the resort counteracts that through the Puntacana Ecological Foundation. In addition to implementing a zero-waste program, the foundation grows vegetables and fruit and produces organic honey, pollen, and royal jelly, all of which is used throughout the property and sold to area residents at a bimonthly

farmer’s market. The foundation’s goal is to balance the development of the region, and one of its most promising projects is its Coral Gardens, which propagate the coral population with coral grown in nurseries. Visitors to the resort can get a firsthand feel for these initiatives by touring the foundation and even diving underwater to plant a piece of coral. Whether you choose to chill or get up and go, the Puntacana Resort & Club is ready to assist.

SILVER ARROW Mercedes-Benz throws down the gauntlet with its breathtaking new AMG GT S super coupe By Howard Walker
There’s driving. And then there’s driving. The kind that gets your heart pounding like a jackhammer. The kind that sends a surge of adrenaline through your veins. The kind that leaves you shrieking like a sugar-rushed 5-yearold riding Space Mountain for the first time. To experience all of the above, simply strap yourself into Mercedes-Benz’s new projectile, the 503-horsepower AMG GT S. This is the demonic descendent of Mercedes’ short-lived SLS supercar—the one with those funky gullwing doors, wrath-of-Thor soundtrack, and $200,000-plus sticker. With this new AMG GT S, however, Mercedes is targeting a broader demographic: sports-car lovers with around $130,000 burning a hole in their chinos. The same buyers with class acts like Porsche’s latest 911, Audi’s R8, Jaguar’s F-Type R, and Aston Martin’s Vantage already on their shopping lists. The GT scores huge on looks alone. From those air-gulping intakes up front to its long hood to that sensuously sculpted rear end, this car garners more dropped jaws than Amal Cloo76

ney in Oscar de la Renta. Just standing still, it looks as if it’s clocking 190 on the Autobahn. Thankfully, the GT hasn’t inherited the SLS’ doors that resemble a cormorant drying its wings. They may have paid homage to Mercedes’ legendary 300SL Gullwing from the ’50s, but they made getting in and out of the car a lesson in physical origami. I whacked my head on them every time I clambered out. Not that this latest AMG rocket ship is much easier to slide into. With its roof just more than 4 feet off the asphalt, you need the flexibility of a limbo dancer to drop down into the cockpit. Once inside, the seats grip you so tightly they verge on intimate. But grab hold of that fabulous suede-covered helm, gaze out along that supertanker-long hood, and you feel as if you’re in the front row of Sebring.
Despite this comfort, one huge question remains unanswered: Who decided the gear selector should be in the back seat? It seems there wasn’t enough space for cup holders and the stubby shifter at the front of the center console. Unbelievably—especially for the purists at AMG—the cup holders won and the shifter was pushed just far enough back to be irritating. Thankfully, the engine start button is where it

should be, and a quick press ignites one of the most magical powerhouses in the auto kingdom. Mercedes-AMG’s new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 packs 503 horseys and 479 pound-feet of torque. It is one impressive piece of design that squeezes those dual turbochargers tightly into the center of the V for compactness. The petite size and dry-sump lubrication allowed the designers to mount the V-8 well behind the front-wheel centerline and low in the chassis. This, along with bolting the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic at the back of the car, makes for awesome handling agility. Boy, does this car fly. Stomp on the throttle and it will catapult from standstill to 60 in just 3.7 seconds and keep going until the speedo needle kisses 193 mph. With every one of those 479 turbocharged torques on tap from just 1,750 rpm, the GT delivers mind-blowing midrange thrust. You can also tailor the car’s engine responses to your mood. The Comfort mode tones down the exhaust thunder for morning commutes, while full-on Race makes you feel like Vin Diesel in Furious 7. You’d need a racetrack, however, to come anywhere close to exploring the upper echelons of the GT’s handling prowess. On Floridian highways and by-ways, this car is so agile—and so freaky fast through curves—that it never feels like it’s breaking a sweat. It’s no wonder then that Motor Trend magazine recently awarded the AMG GT S its coveted Best Driver’s Car 2015 accolade. I love this car. I love its racefocused character, its badboy demeanor, its pure PRICE: From $130,825 driving excitement, and its ENGINE: 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 truly breathtaking looks.

tome reveals her personal experiences behind the camera
It’s lunchtime in Aspen, and everybody, including Kelly Klein, has taken a break from skiing. On her way to eat, though, something catches her eye: the sight of thousands of skis and poles, arranged in rows in the snow, standing upright without their owners. Anyone else might just keep walking. But Klein had her camera on hand. Click. “Visually, I thought it looked really interesting,” she recalls. “I thought it was funny, all these vertical colors.” It’s a literal snapshot of the way Klein finds beauty in life. Whether she’s photographing supermodel Gisele Bündchen on a Caribbean island or is simply on her way to an afternoon meal, she has an eye for capturing the art of the moment on camera, a talent she’s embraced with gratitude. “I’m a very positive person,” she says. “I wake up and see beauty.”

Gorgeous and lithe at 58, Klein has the natural look of—what else?—a Calvin Klein model: freckled skin, a wide grin, huge blue eyes, and chestnut tousled tresses. Her style is clean across the board, from wearing a Lanvin blouse and jeans with a Stella McCartney coat to adorning her Upper West Side dining room with African spears and an original Andy Warhol. “The way I dress, decorate a home, or take a picture is very simple, classic, and effortless,” says Klein, who was the design muse of her famous ex-husband, Calvin, with whom she remains friends. “But I hope it has romance, elegance, and a little edge.” The normally private person gave the world a glimpse of her well-curated life in Photographs by Kelly Klein (Rizzoli, $115), released in October. The most intimate of her seven photo tomes, Photographs is the only one that consists of solely her own snaps, spanning 35 years behind the camera. To select 200 photographs for the book, she had to winnow through thousands, covering subjects far and wide. “I don’t keep a diary. I take pictures,” Klein says. “These are people, places, and encounters that have shaped me.” Her book shows a rarely glimpsed portrait of privilege: Calvin naps on a yacht in Mustique alongside tycoons David Geffen, Barry Diller,

She also interjects dazzling, bold images— some outtakes—she created for Harper’s Bazaar, Interview Magazine, Vanity Fair Italia, and a slew of international Vogue magazines. “I strive to show clothes in a beautiful, graphic way, highlighting an interesting shape or color,” she explains. “The clothes determine whether a photo will be moody and rich or light and airy.” But Klein also exposes the everyday moments, including pictures that were taken on her iPhone and posted to her Instagram account (@KellyAKlein): her 8-year-old son enjoying a Popsicle; her mother, Gloria List, sporting comic sunglasses. As Vanity Fair special correspondent Bob Colacello notes in the book’s afterword, “Cynicism and camp have never been what this AllAmerican girl is about.” Rather, she stops to admire silver spoons strewn on a table or a basket of eggs in Beijing and shares their allure with viewers. “I’m very proud of Kelly, her work, and the book,” says Sam Shahid, the former longtime creative director of Calvin Klein. “It takes a lot to put yourself out there. You’ve got to be very strong. You open your soul to everybody, and she’s very wonderful.”

Photographs reveals Klein is drawn to far more than surface appeal. Among shots of Naomi Campbell and Milla Jovovich, she also sees beauty in a kimono-adorned elderly woman strolling through Kyoto, Japan. Even the book itself has a deeper purpose: Proceeds benefit God’s Love We Deliver, a charity that provides meals to New York City residents who are too ill to cook for themselves. Klein’s eye for the lens was developed over a lifetime of worldly travels, both luxurious and rugged. She treasures not only the polo fields of Wellington and Bridgehampton and the beaches of Santorini and Rio de Janeiro but also the humble homes of the impoverished in Ecuador, Chile, and Cuba. “I’m drawn to adventure,” Klein says. “I love South America, rough and primitive, and beaches, all beautiful—the smell of salt air, the ocean, the moisture.” To make the images in Photographs compelling in book form, she turned to Shahid, who has designed the layout of all of her books. “I love the way he juxtaposed pictures, making each stronger,” she says. “He helped me understand that my travel pictures and still lifes inspired me to shoot fashion pictures the way I do. Whether it’s a saint in Peru or a close-up of supermodel Christy Turlington’s face, they relate.” Shahid, in turn, credits her for the end result. “It was very easy for me, because the work is so good,” he says. “There’s such a depth, a range, not just one note. You turn a page, and there’s a surprise. The rhythm of the whole thing is all her.” With no formal training, Klein leans on her powers of observation and “very good assistants,” she says. “I still struggle, but I shoot until I get it right.” Documenting life on camera comes naturally for Klein, but having a photography career was as unexpected as the subjects of her book. Born in Detroit, she moved to Connecticut at age 3 and discovered her first love a year later: competitive horse-riding. She inherited the passion from her father, TV commercial director Tully Rector. At a young age, Klein appeared in a few of her father’s advertisements, an experience she says was influential—so much so, she dedicated Photographs to him. When she was 10, Klein moved to Manhattan, where she would attend the Dwight School. As a teen, she maintained a busy schedule working in boutiques after classes and competing as a show-jumper on weekends. “That really taught me a work ethic,” she says. “And horses gave me discipline and took my mind off things.”
“I don’t keep a diary. I take pictures. These are people, places, and encounters that have shaped me.”

Klein went on to enroll in the Fashion Institute of Technology, where upon graduating in 1977, she landed a gig as a design assistant for Ralph Lauren. Four years later, she started working for Calvin Klein, where one of her assignments was to travel to Santorini with photographer Bruce Weber to serve as an assistant stylist. Working at both fashion houses may sound glamorous, but “it was very hard,” she recalls. “But I got an education that’s priceless.” She also impacted the Calvin Klein brand on a much bigger and personal level. She became the iconic designer’s sleek muse, the incarnation of his nickname “Calvin Clean.” He credits her with suggesting he market men’s briefs to women, which purportedly led to $70 million in sales in 1984. The power couple married at the mayor’s office in Rome while on a fabric-buying trip in September 1986. He was 43; she was 29. But the all-American fairy tale didn’t last. The pair separated in 1996, and she left Calvin’s business—but with new resolve. Shahid hired Klein to photograph Warren Beatty for the cover of Mirabella, and opportunities
snowballed from there. “Then I shot a cover of Woody Harrelson, then Brooke Shields, and more—and that started my career,” she says. Today, Klein largely divides her time among New York, Aspen, and Palm Beach, the latter of where she custom built a 3,000-square-foot home on the Intracoastal. Like her style elsewhere, the abode is minimalist, featuring cement and glass and shades of taupe and sand. Klein first came to South Florida 30 years ago to compete in horse shows, when Wellington was full of dirt roads. “I fell in love with the area,” she says. “I love the architecture, tropical trees, beaches, weather, and how fast everything grows.” Today, “Florida for me is a quiet place where I get a break,” she says. Her schedule revolves around her work and her only child, Lukas, whom Klein and Australian polo player Nick Manifold welcomed via surrogate. She retired from competitive horse-back riding after a 2010 accident, although Manifold is teaching Lukas to ride. “I hope he has a passion for some sport, as I did, but it doesn’t have to be horse-riding,” she says of her son. The family enjoys outdoor pursuits like cycling, swimming, and skiing. Klein continues to fulfill her photography career and travel pursuits; the next destinations on her bucket list are India and Africa. But her most important priority, she says, is being a mother. “My needs are second to my son’s,” she says. “It’s a full life.” «

Home A Wellington equestrian and a Palm Beach designer craft a Manhattanstyle retreat in horse country

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
When renovating his Wellington home, James North wanted a space he could call his own but that wasn’t directly inspired by his life as an equestrian. Designer Joe Davis helped North define an aesthetic rooted in warm colors and a love of the outdoors.
J
ames North feels at home in the saddle. He’s been riding for as long as he can remember and turned professional in the late 1980s, specializing in hunters and jumpers. His passion for the sport is twofold: North lives for “the thrill of the competition; it’s the adrenaline boost that I like,” he says. “But, day to day, it’s the communication between me and the horses that I really enjoy the most. We grow together and understand each other, and it’s that process that keeps me addicted.” Despite a deep-seated love for all things equestrian, North decided to forgo equine themes when remodeling his new casita in Wellington’s Palm Beach Polo Golf and Country Club. “I love horses and I love my job, but I’m around it all the time,” he says. “I wanted to come home and be apart from that.”
Before he could even think about the home’s decor though, he had to address its architecture. The 1,500-square-foot, single-story home was in need of an update. “It was built in the ’80s, so it still had a lot of that pink carpeting and funny half walls,” North says. Originally, he planned to redo only the bathrooms and kitchen—he just had to get rid of that old Formica—but the project snowballed into a top-to-bottom renovation. “Literally everything was tweaked,” says Joe Davis, owner of Joseph Paul Davis Interiors in Palm Beach, who worked with North on the project. “The initial floor plan was drastically changed.” The main goal was to make the home feel larger and more open. “There were a lot of silly hallways going here and there, so we just got rid of those and simplified the plan,” Davis says. Any wall that could be moved was, and those that remained were palmbeachillustrated.com | January 2016

covered in raffia wallpaper. North doesn’t cook much, so the large kitchen that jutted into the living room was transformed into a more concealed kitchenette. The master bedroom lost a closet but gained built-ins, providing more overall square footage. North wanted a symbiosis between outdoor and indoor living that would allow for casual alfresco entertaining and invite in as much sunshine as possible. Therefore, most of the windows were turned into French doors, and a screened-in patio was replaced with a glass NanaWall. “I can open all the doors, and people can flow in and out of the house,” North says. “It’s not relaxed; it’s just open.” The exterior grounds also received a facelift. Davis designed a new front entrance with lots of flowers and vegetation as well as an intimate private garden off the two guest rooms. The main outdoor entertaining space already had a romantic Vergola, which Davis complemented with a chunky table, contemporary chairs, and accessories he and North purchased in Mexico. For this poolside Eden, the duo opted for foliage in delicate shades of blue. “It’s more of a midnight garden,”
The living areas embrace a metropolitan vibe with equine odes as seen in the Remington statue and fox hunting prints.

This small dining nook is North’s favorite spot, as it provides many vantage points of the home. “I spend a lot of time here,” he says.

North says. “All the flowers at night glow a little blue, and it’s just such a pretty, pretty feeling.” When it came to the interior, North and Davis knew the design needed to be simple to direct focus outside. “That plays into the design of it, too,” Davis explains, “keeping it simple so that your eye is drawn outside.” Simplicity, however, has many shades. First, they had to determine just how much of the Florida lifestyle would find its way into the home’s aesthetic. The answer: very little. “I think [the home] reflects what more people want for Florida now; people don’t want to come down here and have green and yellow and rattan anymore,” Davis says. “He wanted a little more elegant than most people think of in Florida. We nuanced it with the tropics, but we also tried to glam it up a bit.” 96
PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
North adds: “I think of my house as my Manhattan respite from the outdoor sports that I do. … I’m in the sunshine all day, so I wanted some place that was cooler and darker and cozier. I lived in Manhattan for 14 years, so I wanted to have that Manhattan feel with the furnishings, and I wanted to move away from the Florida colors and into a cozier feel.” They achieved North’s desired urban ambiance by embracing a neutral color palette and a masculine design sensibility. Starting with rich, black, herringbone oak floors, Davis layered hues of saddle, cream, chocolate brown, navy, and the occasional animal print. “Joe Davis was smart and instrumental in keeping everything one palette so that it flows very nicely,” North says. “His choice of wallpaper and colors all kept it very continuous, which really gave me the feel I was looking for.”
Clockwise from left: The guest den doubles as North’s office; his bedroom opens to the outdoors; the guest room is cool and monochromatic; the master bath was expanded in the renovations.
North describes the kitchen as a jewel box with marble-slab floors and bevel-glass cabinets that catch the light beautifully.
In the furnishings, Davis aimed for updated traditionalism through a blend of antiques and contemporary pieces. Simple materials—such as leather, velvet, wicker, and wood—further stress the home’s austere style. “All the fabrics are extremely simple,” he says. “I think that’s kind of important to use very humble textiles but in an elegant environment.” All in all, the home’s interior reads as fundamentally masculine, a trait North describes as a happy accident. “With the black velvet sofas and the black floorings and the neutral colors and textures, I think it’s very, very masculine. And that wasn’t on purpose; it just kind of ended up that way,” he says. Compared to a feminine design, “masculine is usually more edited,” Davis adds. “We don’t have fancy trim on the curtains, we don’t have fancy trim on the pillows. We don’t have fancy fabrics. Everything is
amazingly edited.” Despite North’s desire to steer away from equestrianism, they didn’t edit out horses completely. “He’s an equestrian, but he said, ‘I don’t want it to look like the “horse hall of fame” in here. I have that at the barn; I don’t want that at my house.’ So we really kept that to a minimum,” Davis says. The pair decided to honor all things equine through art. A Botero horse sculpture overlooks the dining table. A bronze Remington bucks atop a French bombé chest. A long, narrow, time-lapse photo of Secretariat racing toward the finish line rests atop a guest bed like a floating crown. And a series of English fox hunting prints adorns the living room walls. A handful of regal references provide a gentle nod to the sport North lives, breathes, and loves in his new home.« palmbeachillustrated.com | January 2016

“Serial entertainer” Steven Stolman illustrates party-hosting advice from his latest book By liza Grant Smith | Photography by jerry rabinowitz
n a town built on lavish soirees, themed bashes, and large gatherings, Steven Stolman keeps playing the classic party tricks that never go out of style. The designer and author of three books—including, most recently, Confessions of a Serial Entertainer (Gibbs Smith, $30), released in March—takes a decidedly old-school approach to entertaining. Think: the party scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, with cuisine from a 1970s Junior League cookbook. No frills, but plenty of fun. In their cozy one-bedroom condominium on South Ocean Boule-

vard, Stolman and husband Rich Wilkie throw annual “town sweeps,” gathering friends old and new with the policy of “guest of guests are welcome to bring guests.” As a result, typically 90 to 100 partygoers fill their 1970s home to capacity—and spill onto the terrace, the hallway, and occasionally the neighbor’s living room. Their bashes are boisterous and packed, and Stolman wouldn’t have it any other way. “Nothing gives me a greater sense of joy than when the party reaches that critical mass and you actually have to turn up the music because the buzz is so loud,” he says.
Stolman recommends party hosts serve familiar cuisine, such as pigs in a blanket or asparagus bites (shown). “There’s nothing sadder than an untouched buffet,” he says. “I guess I’m grateful that that never seems to happen at my house.”

Tonight is no exception. Stolman has effortlessly enticed a sizable collection of friends to attend an impromptu cocktail party in his condo, employing key pieces of his own advice from Confessions. For one, Stolman believes the crux of entertaining is the menu. In an era of Pinterest and Food Network inspiration, he suggests hosts don’t go overboard. “No one loves a theatrical experience more than I do, but I don’t think that it necessarily has to be a part of food all the time,” he says. “Yet we are bombarded by images and recipes that are so self-consciously stylish they lose sight of the fact that: Hey, this is just an hors d’oeuvre. It doesn’t have to be a work of museum-quality contemporary art.” The food at Stolman’s parties is never untouched, he says, because he serves recognizable cuisine. Tonight, the dining room table is laden with an array of selections from what he calls his “tight repertoire of dishes that cause people to lick the bowl.” Precision-cut toast points await a generous dollop of chilled caviar, while savory asparagus bites dot a red coral Raynaud buffet plate and Swedish meatballs mound in a luxe chafing dish. But the headliner might come as a surprise: bacon-topped egg salad, served in a large silver Revere bowl. It’s one of Stolman’s ultimate crowd pleasers, and several guests head straight from the entryway to the dish and help themselves to an appetizer plate.
“It is important for a host to make it easy on their guests and don’t demand that they have to figure out the food,” Stolman says. “I only make things that are familiar. How can you say no to a pig in a blanket? People don’t say no. They smile when they see them and say, ‘Oh, thank God, there’s pigs in a blanket.’” As for drinks, he has one key piece of advice from his book: Don’t make them yourself. “Don’t be afraid to hire a bartender,” he advises. “For gatherings over 20 people, it allows you to be a gracious host and actually enjoy your own party, rather than being a slave to it.”

Tonight, bartender Tim Edwards is taking cocktail orders, circulating for refills, and helping Stolman with other hosting tasks. He’s stationed at the condo’s wet bar, which Stolman and Wilkie have outfitted with carved coconut heads and framed cartoons to evoke a kitschy Polynesian tiki hut. Located right at the entrance, it’s a perfect welcome for arriving guests. Eventually, the party reaches that critical buzz Stolman thrives on, signifying yet another successful event in his entertaining repertoire. The only question that remains is when these happy guests will ever be motivated to leave. While Stolman recommends cocktail parties last only two hours (anything longer “gets sloppy,” he says), it’s clear this one, as many before, may break that rule. But the serial entertainer of course has a solution to that conundrum. “If all else fails,” he quips, “get out the vacuum or close down the bar—or both.” «
On cocktail party attire: Think about how you look from the waist up, as that’s how people see you at a stand-up cocktail party. Men, think about a natty blazer, a crisp white shirt, and a pocket square. Women, consider a beautiful tailored shirt and a dramatic necklace. On drinking glasses: I prefer quantity over quality. While I love our heavy etched crystal double old fashioneds and delicate stemware, it’s the dumb all-purpose bubble wine glasses that get used the most and seem to hold up the best. Splurge for several dozen and you will never worry about having enough for last-minute get-togethers. On the hostess gift: Whatever you do, do not show up with flowers. I have written about it, spoken about it, and tweeted ad nauseam. I don’t care if it’s the first black iris of the season or your mother’s prize-winning rose or tulips from the Netherlands—save it for later. What is an awful nuisance the night of a party is a delight the next day, especially with a nice handwritten note. On being a good guest: The best guests are the ones who arrive happy and light up the room. They seem genuinely grateful to be in your home and circulate through the crowd greeting friends and introducing themselves to strangers. They are intuitive and can spot a newcomer and draw him in. They don’t gather in cliques or take themselves on house tours looking to see what’s new. They don’t leave with your new Diptyque room spray in their purse. On being a good host: A good party host must be the ultimate facilitator for people to have a good time. It is a totally unselfish undertaking, so those who need to be the center of attention should probably not entertain, as it won’t be about them. One needs to be adaptable to any deviation from plan, nuanced to adjust any and every element in real time, and unabashedly fearless.
Swedish meatballs top Stolman’s go-to entertaining menus.

Once a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meal, the Provençal niçoise salad has evolved into a clichéd starter—but no longer. At the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, Jové Kitchen & Bar’s chef Luca Moriconi has transformed the seminal salad into a deconstructed work of edible art. Locally caught tuna and palm bark sourced from the resort’s herb garden are smoked in house and enhanced with blanched green beans, caper dust, and a garlic emulsion. Moriconi then trades out two of the dish’s star ingredients—hardboiled eggs and red-skinned potatoes—in favor of a quail egg served sunny side up and purple potatoes presented as potato crisps and also grated on top. The result is a study in salad minimalism. (561-582-2800, fourseasons.com/palmbeach) —Kerry Shorr

Good Time As with many classic cocktails, the origins of the Bloody Mary are obscure. Some historians trace it to comedian George Jessel, who began drinking it in the 1920s as a simple combination of equal parts tomato juice and vodka. Others claim legendary bartender Fernand Petiot added the trademark horseradish, Worcestershire, and Tabasco. Regardless of who invented it, the Bloody Mary has become the soothing remedy to a night of revelry or a holiday season of indulgence. But in the midst of the current cocktail renaissance, bartenders are vying to outdo each other and take the drink to the next level. The days of the lone celery stick are long gone. Here are some of the most elaborate—and downright creative—versions around the county. —Mark Spivak

Large Get acquainted with Italy’s powerhouse red, Amarone By Mark SPivak
Amarone is one of the world’s great red wines and also one of the most easily misunderstood. The full name, Amarone della Valpolicella, deceptively invites comparison to a wine of much lesser quality, and with reason. The same grape varieties are used in Amarone and gardenvariety Valpolicella (Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara). Anyone who has sampled the best Amarone, however, will remember it for years or even decades. The production process can be time-consuming and tricky. After harvesting, grapes are dried for as many as four months, traditionally on straw mats. This dehydrates the grapes, concentrating the sugar levels and intensity of flavor. Amarone is then aged in cask for as many as seven years as it re-ferments and intensifies further. If aging is arrested, the result is usually a sweeter version called recioto. If not, a dry, powerful, and full-bodied wine is bottled with high levels of alcohol and ripeness. For an introduction to the category at a bargain price, look for a ripasso—a wine fermented with leftover Amarone pomace. In modern times, the holy trinity of Amarone has consisted of Quintarelli, Bertani, and Masi. The late legendary winemaker Giuseppe Quintarelli was the key person 124 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
Drying the grapes (left) is one of the most time-consuming aspects of making Amarone.
who established Amarone as a world-class wine. Today, his estate is run by his grandchildren. Production is tiny (roughly 5,000 cases annually), the wine is very hard to find, and prices are stratospheric—beginning around $300 and reaching $1,000 per bottle in a top vintage. Bertani was one of the first estates to sell Amarone in this country, beginning in the 1950s. Its approach is extremely traditional, with the wine remaining in cask for a minimum of six years and re-fermenting every spring. Prices hover in the $100 range, even for recent excellent vintages such as 2004 and 2006. Of the three top estates, Masi presents the most appealing profile for the consumer: Quality is extremely high, prices are reasonable, and the wine is readily available in retail stores as well as online. The Boscaini family purchased its first vineyard in 1772 and has been making wine ever since. Beginning in 1973 they collaborated with the Alighieri family, descendants of the poet Dante, to manage the most celebrated estate in the region. I recently revisited a trio of Masi Amarone and found each to be exceptional in its own way. The workhorse of the portfolio is Costasera, made from four selected vineyard
sites overlooking Lake Garda. The nose of the 2010 ($50) reveals scents of savory herbs, anise, and mint; flavors of spiced plums and black cherries linger on the palate, along with an herbal edge on the finish. The 2008 Costasera Riserva ($70) offers whiffs of mushrooms, minerals, and black fruits on the nose. In the mouth, it is even more seamless and balanced than the regular bottling, filled with flavors of plums and blackberries—an absolute pleasure to drink. The Serego Alighieri Vaio Armaron 2007 ($75) is the most forceful of the three. Aromas of black plums, prunes, and walnuts soar from the glass. The wine is full-bodied and edgy, filled with pepper-tinged flavors of ripe black fruits and underlined with good acidity. «
A word on food pairing: Because Amarone is a powerful red from the northern Veneto region, look to the local dishes for the perfect entrée match; think slow-roasted meats, stews, and wild game. It also makes the perfect accompaniment to a platter of strong cheeses to conclude a meal.

For this Palm Beach breakfast area, Margaret Kaywell of Kaywell Interiors took inspiration from the home’s proximity to the ocean, her clients’ traditional tastes, and the needs of a young family to create a design that is at once youthful, classic, and functional. The nook was carved out of what was originally a hallway and augmented with built-in cabinetry from Artistry Woodcraft to establish a visual impact across the long wall. The scalloped and tufted banquette adds whimsy and color to the all-white kitchen. A chandelier by Circa Lighting, nautical toss pillows made from Beacon Hill fabrics, and a centerpiece of seashells complete this picturesque dining scene.

Feeling Blue Jack Fhillips of Jack Fhillips Design used a striped wallpaper to wake up a sleeping space in this oceanfront John’s Island home. “I’m always inspired by the elements outside coming in, which is why I have a tendency to do a lot of blue and white down here,” Fhillips says. “In this room, the stripes of the Ralph Lauren paper were used to tighten up a large space with a lot of weird angles. While the room is a bit bold, it doesn’t keep you from sleeping at night. I think the semi-traditional British colonial feel of the furniture helps tone the stripes down.” West Palm Beach (561-659-4459, jackfhillips.com)

You can take a stripe and mix it with a floral or another geometric and, if the scale is correct, it works. Remember to counterbalance: If you have a small stripe you should use a large floral or if you have a large stripe, opt for a smaller floral print.” —Jack Fhillips

hy hit the gym when you can work out by the water and get the same results? In South Florida, there’s no better place to sculpt a beach body than at the beach. Now that the temperature has dropped and the humidity has dissipated, it’s time to take your routine seaside. The sound of waves crashing can get you in the zone while the sandy terrain adds resistance, making your workout even more challenging and effective.

Herbs for beauty
Beach Body Yoga: The mind-body connection plays an important role in yoga. The relaxed ocean atmosphere and soothing sounds of the waves will help clear your mind and steady your breathing as you move through asanas. Try syncing your breath with the waves: Breathe in as the waves roll in; breathe out as they crash on the shore. For a full-body stretch, opt for Dancer’s Pose, Warrior II, and Downward-Facing Dog. Running/Walking: Running or walking on sand is a great way to ramp up your cardio because the soft surface forces the muscles to work harder, thereby burning more calories. Begin by running on wet, packed sand at low tide so your joints can adjust to the new setting. Also, be sure to wear shoes with proper ankle support to avoid injury. High-Intensity Interval Training: If running isn’t for you, try a fast-paced high-intensity interval training session. HIIT requires a mix of exercises to increase heart rate and burn fat. Rotate between high knees (a stationary running motion with exaggerated knee raises), jump squats, burpees (in which you go from standing to a push-up position), and push-ups. This routine will provide a full-body workout, and the sand will offer an added challenge as your muscles must quickly contract and relax to maintain balance. Swimming: Swimming at the beach is an obvious option, but it’s also a demanding one. With unpredictable wave conditions and no lanes, open-water swimming provides a unique workout every day. Beginners should swim parallel to the shore and keep it in sight. Take breaks when needed; try active rest by going into kneedeep water and completing a set of push-ups.

1 Rosemary
Skin: The antioxidants in rosemary can help stimulate circulation and enliven skin by increasing blood flow and calming inflammation. Try: Rosemary Lave body cleanser by Epicuren ($11 for 2.5 fl. oz). (epicuren.com) Hair: Rosemary stimulates hair follicles, which may help hair grow longer and stronger. It can also cleanse the hair and scalp thanks to its antibacterial properties. Try: Rosemary Mint shampoo by Aveda ($13.50 for 8.5 fl. oz). Aveda, Palm Beach Gardens (561-691-6999, aveda.com)
Lavender Skin: Lavender gets things moving by improving circulation. With more nutrients and oxygen, wrinkles and fine lines may be diminished, while added moisture quenches parched skin. Try: Lavender Age Corrective Night Concentrate by Éminence Organic Skin Care ($66 for 1.2 oz.). Skin Apeel Day Spa, Boca Raton (561-8528081, skinapeel.com) Hair: Think of lavender as a masterful multitasker. This hard worker does it all: deep conditions hair, keeps it shiny, and helps control dandruff, all while providing a calming aromatherapy effect. Try: Lavender and Avocado Intensive Conditioner by John Masters Organics ($22 for 7 fl. oz.). Ulta, Boca Raton (561-482-9050, ulta.com)
Searching for health superstars? You might not have to look any farther than your own backyard. Herbs have been used for centuries to boost, alleviate, and prevent conditions related to beauty and wellness. The key lies in knowing the benefits of each and how to unleash them. Consider three members of the mint family: rosemary, peppermint, and lavender. Below, we review how these herbs boost skin and hair.
Peppermint Skin: Peppermint always maintains its cool. The menthol in peppermint oil yields a cooling sensation while the oil itself nourishes dull skin and improves the texture of oily complexions. Try: Morning Mint Body Butter by Archipelago Botanicals ($19 for 8 oz.). (archipelago-usa.com) Hair: Peppermint wins over every hair and scalp type, with greasy types drawn to its astringent properties and those with a dry profile appreciating its moisturizing prowess. Try: Clear Head Mint Shampoo by Origins ($18 for 8.5 fl. oz.). (origins.com)
Pass the SALT

Salt can do more than just flavor food; when used in a therapeutic setting, it can act as a natural detox for skin and lungs. Discovered in Eastern European salt caves, dry-salt therapy—also known as halotherapy—is rising in popularity for its purported antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits. In the treatment, dry salt is ground up, dispersed into the air, and inhaled and absorbed into the skin. Halotherapy devotees applaud its ability to imbue skin with moisture and to address such respiratory issues as allergies, asthma, and psoriasis. The Boca Raton– based Salt Chamber offers an array of salt-therapy products for at-home use, including halogenerators (which grind and distribute salt into an enclosed space) as well as a specialty bed and booth for solo salt sessions. These items can also be experienced at spas like Kaffee’s Garden Spa in West Palm Beach, which uses a halogenerator to create salt rooms.

Chefs celebrate garlic at the
its moment in the sun at the Delray 2015 Delray Beach Garlic Fest. Beach Garlic Fest, taking place January 29-31 in downtown Delray Beach. Now in its seventeenth year, the festival celebrates garlic’s culinary possibilities with a chef cooking competition and an array of garlic-centric dishes and products. The festival also highlights the health benefits of its namesake ingredient—and there are quite a few. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, garlic is rich in antioxidants, and consuming it regularly can maintain heart health by slowing down atherosclerosis—the hardening of the arteries—and lowering blood pressure by 5-8 percent. A natural blood thinner, it may aid in preventing heart attacks and stroke as well. Studies also show garlic’s antibacterial qualities can strengthen the immune system and ward off the common cold. And, as outlined by the National Cancer Institute, there is a notable association between increased garlic intake and a reduced risk of certain types of cancers such as stomach, colon, esophageal, pancreatic, and breast. To get the most out of every clove, consume fresh garlic because the benefits wear off with age. Also, chopping and mincing activates allicin, the compound that lends garlic its pungent smell and many of its healthy components. These benefits all lead rg to one conclusion: The health benefits of garlic are as strong as its infamous scent. y Pa pp Pho (561-279-0907, dbgarlicfest.com) —E.C. tography

Unlike other areas of the country, South Florida gardens flourish during the winter months. “Winter is much drier, has a much larger palette of unusual flowers to successfully grow, and is the right season to grow any vegetable you wish,” says Allen Sistrunk, director of Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach. PBI spoke with Sistrunk about the ins and outs of winter gardening. Have more questions? Mounts’ Master Gardener helpline is awaiting your call. (561-233-1750, mounts.org) —M.M.
PBI: What key factors should South Floridians keep in mind when deciding what to plant in their winter gardens? Sistrunk: Winter is normally our dry season, and having your irrigation system in great working condition is essential. We might think since it’s cooler in winter that irrigation is not as important, but in our climate plants are actually growing year-round and can be stunted, weakened, and even perish from lack of adequate water. This is especially important for newly planted flowers, shrubs, and trees that need a good year of ample water to properly establish. Also, fresh pine bark mulch will not only help conserve moisture but also provide extra nutrition and a weed barrier for those pests that never cease growing in South Florida. What’s your top winter gardening tip? Always observe the “right plant, right place” guideline, meaning sun plants in full sun, shade plants in light shade—and remember the winter sun is much less intense than the warm season. The best thing about winter gardening here is that almost everything will thrive during our winter months, including delphinium, crystal blue
lobelia, foxglove, and English daisies—but these beauties will certainly perish by mid-May, if not sooner. What vegetables can be grown in winter? There is hardly a vegetable, herb, or spice that will not thrive in Palm Beach County during the winter as long as it receives enough light and water and, of course, is not planted in pure sand. Lettuce grows astoundingly easily and many successful crops can be grown. Kales and cabbages also grow with abundance and ease. Pansies and nasturtiums (gorgeous edible flowers) also grow and flower very well in our winter climate. What about herbs? Palm Beach County’s winters open the door to successful herb gardens. Some of our favorite and most desired herbs are very challenged to make it through our hot, humid What soil should summers but grow extremely you use in your winter gardens? well in winter. Some favorites Find out at that will only thrive during palmbeach cooler months are cilantro, illustrated.com/ tarragon, sage, borage, dill, wintergardens and lavender.

SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL FEATURE
Craig H. Lichtblau, MD
When selecting a specialist in rehabilitation medicine, what are the key criteria? Physiatrists are specialists in diagnosing and treating problems of the neurological and musculoskeletal system. In addition, if patients need any other services—such as those of other medical, physical, occupational, and speech therapists—the physiatrist will coordinate that treatment. The result is a specially designed treatment program tailored to the patient’s needs. When picking a physiatrist, patients want to be sure the candidates are board certified, are well trained, and have vast clinical practice experience. What are the latest developments/innovations in your field? The technology of our M6 laser and Accu-Spina are some of the latest innovation in the field. These are two of the nonsurgical approaches to treating chronic and acute pain and injury. What differentiates your practice from other specialists in the field? Our practice focuses on the treatment of the whole patient, not just the patient’s symptoms. People should come to my practice because the emphasis is on improving function. Through integrated focused care and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Lichtblau and his staff add quality to the lives of patients each year. Pain is enviable, but suffering is optional. Office Contact: Christine D. Roberts 550 Northlake Blvd. | North Palm Beach, FL 33408 561.842.3694 | chlmd.com
Daniel Kapp, md When selecting a specialist in plastic surgery, what are the key criteria? When selecting a plastic surgeon, certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery should be the first and most important criteria to consider. Board-certified plastic surgeons must complete continuing medical education, including patient safety, each year. In addition, they must adhere to a strict code of ethics, ensuring patients are in trusted, capable, and well-trained hands. What are the latest developments/innovations in your field? Kybella is the latest innovation in plastic surgery. Kybella is a series of three injections that dissolves the fat cells under the chin. The fat is then released into the surrounding tissues. This released fat is absorbed and metabolized by the body. Kybella is the only known injectable treatment approved by the FDA for contouring submental fullness. Kybella is indicated for treatment of moderate to severe bulges of the double chin. What differentiates your practice from other specialists in the field? The goal of my practice is to provide first-rate plastic surgery and deliver excellent surgical results. We perform our surgery in the hospital or in outpatient surgery centers. I believe that having surgery in these facilities makes for the safest and most comfortable experience for patients. I am unwilling to compromise my standards—my patients deserve the very best!

David Goldman, MD Goldman Eye What differentiates your practice from other specialists in the field? At Goldman Eye, we strive to provide a personal level of care in a timely fashion to all patients. Every piece of diagnostic equipment is state of the art and is constantly upgraded to stay on the cutting edge of technology so we can provide the highest level of care. How do you keep up on the latest advances in your field? In addition to attending and speaking at all major ophthalmology meetings, I consult and perform research with many ophthalmic companies. As a member of the Vanguard Ophthalmology Society and CEDARS groups, I also have the ability to engage other key opinion leaders in the field on a daily basis. What accolades have you received in your field? “Top 40 under 40” by The Ophthalmologist magazine; “Top 250 Surgeons in the U.S.” by Premier Surgeon; Achievement Award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology; Best Doctors, 2012 to present; Top Ophthalmologist by the Consumers’ Research Council of America, 2010 to present; 2012 Young Outstanding Ophthalmologist by the Florida Society of Ophthalmology; 2009 National Crystalens Center of Excellence by Bausch & Lomb.

Andrea Hass, MD Brian Hass, MD Hass Plastic Surgery & MediSpa What differentiates your practice from other specialists in the field? This year, we are thrilled to be marking our twentieth anniversary in Palm Beach County. We arrived with a vision for establishing a premier plastic surgery center and as we enjoy this milestone we look forward to many more exciting years. From day one, we set out to provide quality care with excellent results. However, it is the camaraderie we have built with our patients and staff that excites us on a regular basis. Forever guided by seeking the best beauty options, we have broadened our realm of care to include the many complementary noninvasive procedures that go hand-in-hand with our core of plastic surgery for the eyes, face, breasts, and body. Injectables, lasers, CoolSculptingŽ, and skin care are just some of the reasons we expanded our office this year. We are proud of the reputation we have earned in giving our patients beautiful results with five-star patient care and we are grateful for the long relationships we’ve established.

Jefferson R. Vaughan, MD, FACS What are the latest developments/innovations in your field? Three-dimensional visualization for minimally invasive, or laparoscopic, surgery allows surgeons to see the inside of the abdomen the same way they do with their own eyes. I am the first surgeon in Florida to utilize ConMed’s new 3DHD surgical camera for advanced laparoscopic surgery. What differentiates your practice from other specialists in the field? I offer truly laparoscopic surgery, without “hand assistance,� such as colon resections for cancer or diverticulitis, allowing patients to go home the next day. Other problems that can be treated with short hospital stays and minimal pain include hiatal hernia repairs, weight-loss surgery, and many other procedures. How long have you been performing bariatric, or weight-loss, surgery? Twenty-three years. I started a bariatric surgery program at the United States Naval Hospital in Yokosuka, Japan in 1992. I have been performing laparoscopic bariatric surgery since 2000 and have done thousands of these operations. I also developed my own line of vitamins and other supplements to meet the unique needs of bariatric patients, available at WLSVitamins.com. Office Contact: Mimi Vaughan 1002 S.

Joseph A. Costello, DC, DABCO Laser Medica What differentiates your practice from other specialists in the field? Laser Medica is the largest laser therapy pain clinic in the United States. We treat acute and chronic pain and heal patients with the most advanced therapeutic lasers available. We care and deliver results. What are the effects of Laser therapy on the human body? Laser therapy decreases inflammation, restores joint and disc health, promotes nerve regeneration and relieves pain. It is the safest treatement in modern medicine today. Who performs laser treatments? All treatements are performed personally by Dr. Costello, never a technician. Office Contact: Rena Petrunova 8645 N. Military Tr., Suite 409 | Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 561.345.3219 | LaserMedicaFlorida.com
Linda Kiley, MD
What are the latest developments/innovations in your field? Urogynecology is a subspecialty of innovation. We have minimally invasive treatments for urinary incontinence and will soon have more available that do not require incisions or anesthesia. Developments in treating fecal incontinence are also continuing at a fast pace. Laser therapy for vaginal atrophy and mild incontinence as well as vulvar skin conditions is another new treatment option we offer in our practice now. What differentiates your practice from other specialists in the field? We are dedicated to making a correct diagnosis and providing a customized treatment plan for every patient. We emphasize nonsurgical treatments as a first option and make every effort with those who need or choose surgery to assure they have selected the appropriate procedure and understand all of the pros and cons prior to having the procedure. We also offer physical therapy in our office to treat bladder and bowel problems. Why would a woman choose a urogynecologist for help with problems related to urinary or pelvic function? A urogynecologist has additional training in pelvic reconstructive surgery and pelvic organ function. We are trained to see the pelvis as a whole and not simply either the bladder, the uterus/vagina/ovaries, or the rectum. These structures are all connected, and each has an impact on the others. This helps to properly diagnose and treat the patient.

Vartan Mardirossian, MD Mardirossian Facial Aesthetics When selecting a specialist in Plastic Surgery, what are the key criteria?

Make your
Uneven Heirs
Wealth
Dividing your estate equally isn’t always the fairest method By Judy Martel
When it comes to their children, parents don’t want to play favorites. But in estate planning, there are times when it isn’t always fair to be equitable in the distribution of assets. When an heir has complications such as mental or physical health limitations, spendthrift tendencies, or substance-abuse problems, parents will actually be more just with their children if they address these issues in their estate plans, according to Renno Peterson, a Sarasota attorney and co-author of Protect and Enhance your Estate: Definitive Strategies for Estate and Wealth Planning (McGraw-Hill Education).
“There is nothing so unequal as the equal treatment of unequals,” he says. “Kids are different; grandchildren are different.” Even though parents might want to dodge accounting for these differences, he says, setting up the proper estate plan and communicating it to heirs will avoid a potential mess of problems and confusion down the road. Below, Peterson reviews three common family situations where unequal distributions are appropriate, along with the best estate-planning strategy for each:
1 Physical or mental health issues
Most heirs are prepared for the necessity of caring for a sibling with significant health problems and don’t dispute it. There are a few techniques that work well in this situation, including setting up a special trust specifically for the child with health needs. For most situations, Peterson favors putting a life insurance policy inside a trust. “In paying the premiums, you’re buying future care over time,” he notes.
2 Income disparity
One of your children is a surgeon; the other is a high school teacher with five children to support. Should they receive the same monetary inheritance? This scenario can be tricky, because parents don’t want the high-earning child to feel punished for being successful if a sibling receives a bigger piece of the money pie.

Wealth But Peterson says in most cases, this doesn’t develop into a serious issue. “Generally, if one sibling is successful in a career, he or she is not as hung up about receiving money, unless there is an underlying issue that has to do with sibling rivalry,” he says. Because parents who set up an estate plan when their children are young can’t anticipate which of them will be financially successful, Peterson suggests a revocable living trust, which permits the trustee to change the terms of the trust at any time. An irrevocable trust, on the other hand, is generally set in stone once it’s drafted and cannot be altered.
3
Substance abusers and spendthrifts
Parents of adults who are alcoholics, drug addicts, or uncontrollable shopaholics want their money to help them recover and thrive—not support the addiction. For this reason, Peterson suggests setting up trusts with restrictive terms. “I’ve drafted trusts that say the beneficiary has to undergo periodic drug tests or go through a treatment program,” he says. If the beneficiary remains clean, the trustee then buys goods and services on behalf of the beneficiary, rather than allowing the beneficiary to receive actual money. The same technique works well for spendthrifts, he adds, because their needs are taken care of by someone who is fiscally responsible.
Key to success: Communication Family dynamics are unique and, no matter what method the parents choose for the optimal distribution of their estate, the best-laid plan could still fall apart if they don’t communicate effectively to the heirs, Peterson says. Children often equate an inheritance with the love they feel they did or didn’t receive from their parents, and it’s because of this that ongoing communication is essential to preserving the family as a unit after the parents are gone. “Many times, when we see conflict, the amount of money involved is insignificant, but the issue is significant,” Peterson says. “It’s not possible for me to overemphasize how important communication is.”

Artists look for inspiration everywhere: the sea, the sky, even the earth’s rich terroir. The geological inspiration behind Per Kirkeby’s piercing abstract works are unearthed in “Per Kirkeby: Echo of the Light” at The Gallery at Windsor in Vero Beach, on display through April 29. One of Denmark’s greatest painters and a former geologist, Kirkeby is most noteworthy for drawing afflatus from the natural world and its changes, with many works inspired by his expeditions to Greenland and the Arctic. “Echo of the Light” comprises paintings and monotypes that embrace the interplay of color and shadow and also explore the intersection of nature and abstraction.

What excites you the most about South Florida real estate in 2016? What excites me the most is being a part of the Engel & Völkers brand and being able to offer my clients, new and old, the best service in the industry. Through Engel & Völkers, the exposure to the international clientele has brought a new market to South Florida, and it excites me to help them purchase second homes or investment properties here in the United States.
Why should clients looking to buy or sell real estate choose Engel and Völkers? Engel & Völkers is an international luxury real estate company. With more than 700 offices worldwide, our global reach is unparalleled in the market. All Engel & Völkers shops work together within our organization, sharing clientele and listings. This creates a global network with extensive reach and allows us to give our clients the best service available to them.
Why Wellington and/or Palm Beach? Wellington and Palm Beach both offer clients premier real estate opportunities in desirable South Florida locations. Palm Beach offers clients the sun and surf, with all the activities that go hand-in-hand with island living, whereas Wellington offers the sun but more equestrian-driven ways to fill the day. You would be surprised at the crossover we are experiencing with clients who either have property in Palm Beach and are looking for a Wellington getaway—similar to a “country home”—or a Wellington resident looking to escape to the gorgeous beachfront of Palm Beach island.

In her closet Valentino. The clothes have a classic yet young feel to them. Dinner craving Kitchen’s salad, burger, yummy fried onion rings (They are made with pancake batter!), and sinful coconut cake to end the meal Furry friend I am obsessed with our Norwich Terrier, Amy. She travels with us to whichever house we are staying at, and she especially loves her bed in Palm Beach. Favorite NEST scent Blue Garden, which benefits Autism Speaks. It is an exquisite blend of blue hydrangea, hyacinth, and forget-me-nots, with fresh green notes and a dewdrop accord. Blue Garden was created in honor of my son, who is severely affected by autism. Go-to gadget My iPhone Favorite TV show The Golden Girls. No matter where we are in the world, Harry and I will turn it on every night before going to sleep—and 10 minutes later, we are out. We love the show and it is so funny, but it is sort of like a lullaby for us. Makeup must Tom Ford Spanish Pink Lip Color. I stock it in every room in each of my homes in strategic locations so it is always available when I need it. shopping paradise The West Palm Beach GreenMarket.

Laura Slatkin’s world is full of beautiful scents. In 1992, the former Wall Street executive and her husband, Harry, founded Slatkin & Co., a luxury home fragrance brand that became hugely successful. When the couple sold the popular company in 2005, Laura decided to remain in the industry and that year founded her own brand, NEST Fragrances. Her collections of fragrances, candles, diffusers, lotions, and soaps are sold throughout the world, including local retailers such as Island Home in Palm Beach and Serendipity in Boca Raton. She and Harry maintain homes in Palm Beach, New York City, and East Hampton.
