From the Publisher

Palm Beach Illustrated had the good fortune to sponsor a high-goal polo team this season at the International Polo Club Palm Beach. Team PBI was one of the youngest teams in competition, but it also proved to be one of the toughest, most tenacious, and most talented to take the pitch.

We are so proud of this amazing group of players, who took home the 2016 Joe Barry Memorial Cup. As an avid fan of the sport, I track teams and individual players as they move among rosters and fields of play. With that perspective, I am delighted that our PBI polo team has generated a fan following of its own.

Soon after the team’s Joe Barry victory, the manager of a competing team and I struck up a conversation. At the end of our exchange, the manager’s young son, Alfie, appeared, his lip recently bruised by the errant swing of a foot mallet. “Didn’t you have a question for Mr. Terry?” the father implored.

Clearly on the spot and fidgeting a bit, Alfie gathered himself and looked me directly in the eye. “May I have a team hat?” the budding polo player asked.

Of course he could!

Retrieving a hat and locating our team captain, I made my way to the grandstand box at the International Polo Club.

“Alfie, this is our team captain, Jared Zenni,” I said. “Oh, I know who he is,” Alfie said, his grin growing. Jared presented the cap and his hand. I don’t know whose smile was wider—team captain or fan—but it was a star-struck sports moment I will not soon forget.

Palm Beach Illustrated reaches a varied and growing audience. From the doyennes of Palm Beach society to new residents bringing innovative ideas, direction, and opportunity, we connect with our readers in surprising and rewarding ways. They share with me and with our talented staff how the magazine is appreciated and welcomed into their lives.

On that day with those two young men, I was reminded how lucky I am to represent the people who bring you this magazine. There have been many memorable experiences in my nearly 11 years with Palm Beach Illustrated. But that day? That was my best day ever.

Where There’s Magic

capehart

Several years ago, when I first started working for this magazine, we photographed a young designer wearing a big sun hat and a smile as wide as the lake sprawling behind her. She grabbed the handlebars of a vintage bike— the kind with the wicker basket in front—with one hand and held the hat down with the other, posing in what became for us the quintessential Palm Beach portrait.

That was the first time I met Celerie Kemble, and my impression of her then was no different than it is today: Pedigree aside, she personifies the insouciance and whimsy that is the very soul of Palm Beach.

It comes as no surprise that she has brought those qualities to her newest project, Playa Grande Beach Club in the Dominican Republic. Owned by an investor consortium that includes Celerie and her husband, Boykin Curry, the chic hideaway between beach and jungle exudes authentic island living—much like the old Palm Beach houses she grew up in.

After visiting the D.R. in late January, I had a great conversation with Celerie about Palm Beach’s influence on her design. Read her thoughts on the subject and step inside the magical realm that is Playa Grande in “Fantasy Island,” beginning on page 66.

Speaking of magic, don’t miss our exclusive feature “Spring in Sugar.” Always eager to push the creative envelope, we asked two super-talented pastry chefs to create edible spring scenes using various sugar ingredients and pastry techniques.

Janderyn Makris and Stephanie Steliga accepted the challenge, and we were so blown away by their presentations that we devoted four additional pages to show every exquisite detail. Turn to page 74, and prepare to be impressed.

This month, we also shine a spotlight on the food and wine experience. For a look at lesser-known wine trails in places like Israel and Mexico, turn to “Emerging Regions” on page 96. And for inspiration on hosting a knockout dinner party, enter the dining room of über-hostess Margie Allinson. Her colorful vision comes to life in “A Fanciful Feast” on page 82.

SPRING SALMON

With spring in the air, it’s time for some lighter bites. Seasons 52 serves healthy yet delicious fare, as shown in this recipe for cedar-plank roasted salmon.

recipe

Few fishermen are as decorated or as celebrated as Roland Martin. We dropped some lines with the legend in search of snook and redfish at palmbeachillustrated.com/rolandmartin.

Ingredients (Serves 4) 4 fresh salmon fillets 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard 1 tsp. malt vinegar 1 tsp. soy sauce 1 lemon, zest and juice 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for planks

Soak cedar planks in water overnight.

In a small dish, combine Dijon mustard, vinegar, soy sauce, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil. Coat salmon fillets in marinade, and marinate for one hour in the refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Remove cedar planks from water and rub with olive oil. Place fillets on cedar planks and season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast for 8 to 10 minutes (until fish flakes). Serve with fresh lemon.

Garden Grow?

How Does Your

No two South Florida gardens are the same—just ask Jack Staub. Owner of the historic Hortulus Farm Garden & Nursery in Pennsylvania and author of Private Edens: Beautiful Country Gardens, Staub recently traveled around South Florida with photographer Rob Cardillo in search of stunning flora with a story. Their findings are compiled in the new book Private Gardens of South Florida (Gibbs Smith, $50). Staub came to South Florida expecting to see nothing but tropical gardens typical of the area but instead found himself immersed in a range of edens as diverse as the state itself. The book features gardens from all around South Florida, including an abundance of Palm Beach County properties. From a manicured historic estate adorned with coquina terraces and sea-grape hedges to a Moroccan-inspired jungle of delights reminiscent of Yves Saint Laurent’s famed Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, these properties exemplify the types of landscape styles common in this slice of paradise.

Start spreading the news: Palm Beach County is becoming the destination for cultural tourism. In an effort to attract visitors to the Palm Beaches, the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County has introduced the Cultural Concierge program. The first of its kind in the global tourism industry, the free service is being helmed by area arts guru and West Palm Beach native Bama Lutes Deal.

“I love the diversity that we have in terms of artistic articulation,” Lutes Deal says. “I always craved seeing more, doing more, and having richer experiences, so when I learned of this position it resonated with me as a consumer and as a traveler.”

Lutes Deal, who holds masters and doctoral degrees in musicology from Florida State University, spent a large portion of her early career as an orchestral and chamber music player in Southeast Florida and performed at the groundbreaking of the Kravis Center. Her experience, combined with her passion for the Palm Beaches, makes her the ideal person to help outsiders navigate the cultural landscape.

Here’s how it works: Visitors contact Lutes Deals ahead of their trip, and she makes itinerary recommendations that suit their interests.

She’s also at the ready to coordinate customized

experiences (like backstage tours or artist meet and greets) and curates a weekly Hot Tickets selection that highlights what’s going on in Palm Beach County right now. “There’s always been a need for a point person who can help guide visitors to the cultural resources that we have here in the Palm Beaches,” she says.

“I’m like the equal sign in the equation. Visitors are on one end of the equation, and what we have is on the other. I do the matching for them.”

While the Cultural Concierge program is tailored to tourists, locals can also consult Lutes Deals and her website for insider information to reap the benefits of the economic and creative stimulation the initiative provides.

“Ultimately, it benefits our entire community,” she says. “Our arts organization will benefit from the new audiences, our residents will benefit from a healthier arts landscape, and our visitors will come to our community and have these wonderful experiences.”

Want a taste of Lutes Deal’s expertise?

Here she shares some of her top picks for April arts in the Palm Beaches. (561-214-8082, palmbeachculture.com/concierge) —M.M.

For kids: Head to the Palm Beach Zoo and Conservation Society in West Palm Beach for Picnic with the Animals. This special program is just for the little ones: 2-year-olds on April 6 and 3- and 4-year-olds on April 9. Presenters offer age-appropriate activities and crafts centered on learning what animals eat.

The rest of the family will enjoy the big cats, the primates, the fountain, or—by appointment—one of the special encounters, like the Koala-T experience. It’s the only opportunity of its kind in the country where visitors can spend up-close and behind-the-scenes time with a koala.

Lutes Deal’s pick of the month: I’ve always loved Bernadette Peters, who will grace the stage in Dreyfoos Hall at the Kravis Center on April 7. Her material is always fresh and polished. There’s also the Bluegrass in the Pavilion concert on April 9 at the Flagler Museum with the Lonesome River Band. (561832-7469, kravis.org; 561-655-2833, flaglermuseum.us)

For those not “into the arts”: One need not be an arts enthusiast to enjoy the Benzaiten Center for Creative Arts’ friendly happy hour, which takes place from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month (April 13). Attendees mingle, sip wine, sample light bites, and enjoy live music and entertainment in the open-air studio by the railroad tracks. Hang out and talk to a variety of artists and witness informational glassblowing demonstrations. Is that so hard?

Turtle Toms

’s

Editor

TOMS is once again leading the way in philanthropic footwear. Partnering with Oceana—an organization that has been working to save oceans and their animal dwellers since 2001—TOMS is helping to raise awareness for one of the world’s most beloved sea creatures with a limited-edition shoe collection. Florida and the areas surrounding the Gulf of Mexico are fertile grounds for turtle nesting, and these charming marine reptiles are frequent victims of bycatching. The new collection shines a spotlight on the importance of sea turtles and the work being done by Oceana to protect them. Inspired by the colors of the ocean, the footwear evokes Oceana’s mission to make the oceans as rich, healthy, and abundant as they once were. Purchases can be made on the TOMS website as well as at Tootsie’s in Vero Beach, and proceeds go to Oceana. (toms.com; 772-234-6783, tootsiesofverobeach.com) —M.M.

Golden Years The year 1926 was simply the bee’s knees. It was the height of the roaring ’20s, Calvin Coolidge was president, you could buy a Model T for as little as $360, and Marilyn Monroe was born.

Another star to enter the scene that year: The Brazilian Court. Fast-forward to 2016 and the famed Palm Beach hotel is celebrating a monumental birthday with a $90,000 Ninetieth Anniversary Package full of luxury amenities and experiences that will pamper you to the max. Just what does $90,000 buy? It gets you and 11 guests round-trip airfare in a private jet, three nights in the hotel’s celebrity-inspired suites, a chauffeured vintage Rolls Royce, and an excursion on a private yacht. During your

stay, a personal butler will serve you an endless supply of caviar, Godiva chocolates, and Don Pérignon Champagne. You’ll also enjoy daily meals from a 1926-inspired menu at Café Boulud and a private nine-course, speakeasy-style dinner with wine pairings.

The cherry on top: a pair of diamond and emerald cufflinks for him and earrings for her. (561-655-7740, the braziliancourt.com) —M.M.

90 Years

Time Travel The Boca Raton Resort & Club also turns 90 years young in 2016 and is marking this milestone by showcasing its history. All year long, guests can get a taste of 1926 with vintage candy at the resort’s Serendipity ice-cream shop and a Prohibition-era cocktail menu at Monkey Bar. Each room will hold postcards with vintage images and facts about the property, and artifacts from the 1920s and

1930s will be on display throughout. Guests can also download an app that will take them on a self-guided historical tour of this Addison Mizner masterpiece.

PBI: What are some rules of correspondence?

Dulles: Electronic invitations are fickle; they take away the mystery.

A written invitation sets a tone. The most treasured are engraved invitations—with calligraphy, they may take hours to produce. In addition to the engraving, edges are hand-beveled and colored. You should always write thank-you notes; e-mail is insufficient. It shows appreciation, whether of time, of expertise, or of a gift. It’s a tactile acknowledgement of a happy occasion. The note should be mailed within 48 hours, while the memory is fresh. Little anecdotes are important to include so it doesn’t sound formulaic.

When should the host mention dress?

It may help to mention dress code on the invitation but only on an insert card. If uncertain, phone the host. Being well dressed is a form of politeness.

How should a host handle invited guests who misbehave?

Especially in Palm Beach, people are very private and also courteous. Light humor is always a great way to reel someone in without making a scene. One should never be the loudest person in the room, be that by volume or outfit.

What traditional etiquette do you wish to see revived?

Place cards signal a gracious evening because the host has considered the guests and the conversations to ensue. Never move a place card as a guest. No discussion of politics, sex, or money. People in Palm Beach enjoy beautiful things, but they value discretion.

T he New Norton

Just shy of its seventy-fifth birthday in February, the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach broke ground on its new look. Scheduled to open in December 2018, the museum’s new west wing will at once honor Marion Sims Wyeth’s initial building design and establish extraordinary new outdoor spaces. London-based architecture firm Foster + Partners—whose previous projects include the Hearst headquarters in Manhattan and the Boston Museum of Art—created a plan that respects the original axis of the building by moving the entrance to the west and establishing a visual narrative from the front all the way through to the east end of the museum. The new entrance will run parallel to South Dixie Highway and will boast a reflecting pool and forecourt covered by a semi-reflective metal canopy. The wing will also comprise 12,000 square feet of new gallery space, a 210-seat auditorium, increased education areas, a dining pavilion, and a great hall that will act as the museum’s social hub. Finally, to establish the feel of a museum within a garden, beautiful new communal outdoor areas, including a sculpture garden, will be added. Art fans need not fret: The Norton will remain open throughout the renovations. (561-832-5196, norton.org) —M.M.

Perfect Sip Entrepreneur Dennis Cunningham is taking his decades of experience in the entertainment, business, and technology worlds and using it to market a new spirit aimed at millennials: Perfect Vodka.

“I acquired the brand three years ago from a family-owned distillery in Paris,” says Cunningham, who moved from San Jose, California to the Palm Beach area in 1996. In 2014, Perfect Vodka took home the gold medal at the International Craft Spirits Awards in Los Angeles.

The vodka, Cunningham says, is healthy and kosher and contains no gluten or pesticides—something that appeals to the younger, more health-conscious generation. It’s made at Grandes Distilleries Peureux at the foot of the Vosges Mountains in Fougerolles, an area known for producing clean and natural water.

“Perfect Vodka is very smooth and made with the best water in the world,” Cunningham says. “It’s magical.”

Last summer, Cunningham acquired 38

the naming rights to the Cruzan Amphitheatre. Now called the Perfect Vodka Ampitheatre, it’s a perfect partnership for a man who spent years promoting concerts, representing artists like MC Hammer, Milli Vanilli, and Exposé.

As part of his strategy to promote the brand with millennials who “want their own vodka,” Cunningham launched a clever mobile app called Airtab, which allows users to gift charities and friends with things like cocktails, dinners, and theater tickets. (perfectvodka.com) —Linda Marx

Start Me up Many great ideas percolate in coffee shops. Such is the case with Startup Palm Beach, an events-based organization that nourishes Palm Beach County’s entrepreneur ecosystem. Local entrepreneurs Chris Callahan and Nicholas Mohnacky founded Startup Palm Beach in March 2013 with a series of coffee gatherings at what is now Subculture Coffee.

“We would summon entrepreneurs through social media to come talk about their business,” says Callahan. “We would learn their backgrounds and their challenges and see if we could connect them with anyone else in the community who might be able to help.” Adds Mohnacky: “Being entrepreneurs ourselves, we really felt like there wasn’t much of a network or an ecosystem that we could interact with. With

entrepreneurship, there are so many issues and things that arise. Perseverance and passion really drive the whole experience. We were just aiming to bring that forth and have like-minded people in the room to lean on.”

Startup Palm Beach now hosts more than 14 events a year ranging from book clubs to monthly meet-ups that address a variety of business subjects and feature local experts. Callahan and Mohnacky also hope to establish a dedicated location for startups—a place where entrepreneurs can find resources and bounce ideas off of one another. In the long run, Startup Palm Beach aims to attract more young, talented professionals to West Palm Beach and to give opportunities to local entrepreneurs in need of a helping hand.

hrouded in mystery and strewn with iconic, larger-than-life statues, Rapa Nui—better known as Easter Island— is one of the world’s most remote inhabited islands and has headlined bucket lists since the advent of leisure travel. Even as today’s travel elite searches for the next great destination, this 63.2-square-mile speck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean still prevails as an undisputed must-see.

Easter Island’s mystique has captivated explorers and travelers for nearly three centuries.

On Easter Sunday in 1722, European voyagers stumbled upon an otherworldly Pacific island—thousands of miles from any other landmass—speckled with towering, multi-ton chess-like statues called moai. Scholars still debate the genesis of the moai, the role they played in society, and just how they arrived

56

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

in the far corners of the island. Archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians all yearn to unravel the conundrums surrounding Rapa Nui’s colonization (circa 300 AD to 1200 AD) and life thereafter.

Because no written history details the moais’ significance, only oral lore sheds light on the multi-century evolution of these colossal sculptures. In the most general sense, moai honored important individuals in both life and death, offered protection against rival clans, and left legacies for future generations. Oral tradition notwithstanding, much ambiguity stems from a depletion of primary knowledge, first from civil wars and then from the slave trade of the nineteenth century, which decimated Easter Island’s native population to just 111 individuals. However, this uncertainty catalyzes a palpable wow factor and stimulates the imagination. You know you’ve given into the magic of Easter Island when reality and make-believe blur and you subconsciously begin looking for secret passageways and channeling the moai in an effort to understand the island’s enigmas.

Explora Rapa Nui Easter Island’s hypnotic lure and living history form a playground for luxury travelers thanks to the introduction of Explora Rapa Nui. The island’s premier lodge, it offers threeto six-night expeditions inclusive of accommodations, adventures, and gourmet meals.

The lodge exemplifies green construction, built principally from volcanic rock and local wood. A low-rise masterpiece partitioned into design-driven suites, Explora Rapa Nui nestles into a coastal hilltop, where wild horses roam and Pacific waves batter the craggy coastline. Throughout the property, you’ll see a love match between modernism and minimalism with oversized panoramic windows, stylish day beds, and a sleek swimming pool

and spa area.

Explora offers more than 20 outings across this foreign land, with two half-day tours (or one full-day tour) per day. Groups are never larger than eight and are led by expert, bilingual guides. Between excursions, you’ll return to your chic, luxurious base and feast in the lodge restaurant. Begin your days with sensational breakfast spreads including housemade breads, croissants, exotic-fruit jams, and superb omelets. At lunch and dinner, indulge in ocean-to-table delicacies, homemade gnocchi, rack of lamb, fine Chilean wines, and pisco sours. After another day navigating this wondrous island, the bar and lounge area are ideal for unwinding and swapping stories with your fellow jet-set adventurers.

Island Explorations The majority of Explora’s prolific excursions focus on getting up close and personal with the island’s many stone statues. The most experiential is arguably the climb up Rano Raraku, the moai stone quarry and birthplace of these 10to 270–ton works of genius, where hundreds of statues have been partially reclaimed by the earth. This is where the statues were carved before being transported to the far reaches of the island. Nowadays, hundreds of statues peer out from the ground, partially buried—and some partially carved—forever freezing the moment in time when the moai quarry was abandoned.

A NEW king of cadillacs In its all-new full-size CT6, Cadillac finally has a flagship to challenge German luxury supremacy

By Howard Walker The last time Cadillac had a flagship model worth shouting about, Elvis was cruising it through the gates of Graceland, all mirrored chrome and soaring fins with a V-8 big enough to power a Peterbilt.

In the fab ’50s and swinging ’60s, Caddys boasted revered nameplates like Fleetwood, Eldorado, DeVille, and Brougham.

These cars sported shagadelic, crushed-velour interiors that made you feel like you were piloting from the inside of a trombone case—in a good way. Since then, zip, zero, nada—nothing to help Cadillac reclaim the moniker “standard of the world.” Unless, that is, you consider a mile-long stretched Escalade a flagship model.

But that’s all about to change. With its new CT6, Cadillac finally has a flagship that can go hubcap to hubcap with Germany and Japan’s finest. And, in some cases, win.

This is a stunning, athletic-looking projectile with huge, head-turning presence. The vast, shield-like front grille is flanked by cascading, pencil-thin strips of bright-white LEDs, and the headlamps are nothing less than works of technical art.

See the CT6 in profile and you can’t help but be awed by the car’s humongous wheelbase and super short overhangs. The hood looks long 60 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

POWER FILE PRICE: $88,460 for CT6 Platinum ENGINE: 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 POWER: 404-hp TORQUE: 400 poundfeet TRANSMISSION: 8-speed automatic 0-60: 5.3 seconds TOP SPEED: 155 mph (estimated) LENGTH/WIDTH: 204/74 inches WHY WE LOVE IT: The CT6 shows Cadillac is intent on being the king of luxury sedans.

enough to land a Eurocopter, and the creases in its sheet metal are so sharp you risk slicing a finger just running a hand over the body.

From the outset, Cadillac decided it wasn’t simply going to follow in the tire tracks of the establishment BMW 7-series or Mercedes S-Class.

As the so-called “challenger” brand, it had to do things a little differently. And that differentiator is weight. Every body panel is pressed from lightweight aluminum, while the inner structure is an elaborate cocktail of high-strength steel and aluminum bonded together (like a Boeing fuselage) with nearly 600 feet of adhesive.

The result? The base CT6 tips the scale at just 3,657 pounds, nearly 600 pounds less than a 740i BMW, which resorts to a high-tech and hugely expensive carbon-fiber core to shave its weight.

What we have here is the Jenny Craig of luxury sedans: a car that’s

And drive it does, especially in its top-of-theline $88,460 Platinum edition featuring Cadillac’s new 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 cranking out an impressive 404 horseys. Add to that standard all-wheel drive, a super-responsive 8-speed automatic, Magnetic Ride Control suspension, and rear-wheel steering, and you have a car that snaps at the heels of BMW and its coveted “ultimate driving machine” label.

Here is a car that truly inspires driver confidence, coupling tenacious road holding, super-high cornering speeds, and precise, beautifully weighted steering with a supple, bump-absorbing ride and killer brakes.

However, if you want a thrill-ride Cadillac, then opt for a 640-hp CTS-V. The CT6 prioritizes hedonistic luxury and cosseting those inside.

This new Caddy flagship is unlikely to pull badge-centric owners out of their beloved 7-series S-Classes or Tesla Model S electrics. But it will provide a formidable challenge to Audi’s lackluster A8, Lexus’ long-inthe-tooth LS, and Jaguar’s near-invisible XJ. It’s a challenge that will likely increase with the arrival of the thundering V-8-powered CT8 next year.

One thing’s for certain: If the King was still around, you can bet he’d be behind the wheel of a new CT6. «

FANTASY ISLAND Celerie Kemble taps her Palm Beach roots to create a sun-dappled, magical sanctuary on the Dominican Republic’s wild coast

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

In the wild north of the Dominican Republic, night falls swiftly beneath the shadow of the mountains. A dark path winds through tropical foliage that touches passersby with soft green fingers. Crickets trill and, somewhere in the distance, the surf sighs.

There’s a sense of mystery here, the good kind.

At the end of the path, the scene unfolds like a chapter from an Isabel Allende novel.

Slivers of light escape from gingerbread fretwork and delicate shutters, underscoring the dual nature of pretty little things. Beams from perforated metal lanterns tremble upon wood siding and cast strange and wonderful shadows on the tile floor. A rogue breeze stirs the petals of night-blooming jasmine, releasing a scent synonymous with the tropics— and the promise of something deliciously civilized in the midst of untamed nature.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

If it seems like someone’s exquisite island fantasy, it’s because it was. Palm Beach native Celerie Kemble and her husband, Boykin Curry, had searched for this utopia for so long, it had started to feel like nothing more than a myth.

“Boykin had been obsessed with looking around the world for interesting places that might make an ideal vacation home,” Kemble says. “What ‘ideal’ meant to him was a place where we wouldn’t be entirely isolated. It had to be accessible, beautiful, and a wise investment. It became a pastime looking for this imaginary location.”

This went on for some time—until a Dominican

friend of the couple, the late Delio Gonzalez, showed them a 2,000-acre parcel near Río San Juan, on the country’s north coast. It was everything Curry and Kemble had been looking for. And it was for sale.

“It had the most beautiful, long, white chunkysanded beach that blew our minds, plus a jawdropping golf course, the mountains, and a dramatic rainforesty aspect,” Kemble says. “None of us could believe that [existed] within three hours of New York City and two-and-a-half hours of Palm Beach.”

The deal was on the table for only two weeks.

“We had to aggregate friends and friends of friends in order to purchase the property before it was taken off,” Kemble recalls. Curry, a well-connected money manager in New York City, assembled a group of investor friends that included actress Mariska Hargitay, architect Richard Meier, and fashion designer Lela Rose.

“People bought it sight unseen with the idea that if we were crazy enough to do it, they would go along with us,” Kemble says. “It was fast and almost spastic, but it never would have happened if it wasn’t such a standout property.”

Fast-forward 11 years to the November 2015 opening of Playa Grande Beach Club, an oceanfront enclave of Dominican-vernacular bungalows owned by the original investors and operating as a resort. Kemble, a New York– and Palm Beach–based interior designer of considerable renown, had the rare opportunity to be both client and decorator, which gave her an exhilarating freedom. Not surprisingly, she imprinted the project with her signature style of marrying the quirky and the beautiful.

Foremost on her mind was a reverence for the land. Macro to micro, everything had to relate to the beach, the sun, the breezes, and the jungle.

And it had to be respectful of Dominican style and lifestyle, so it wouldn’t feel like yet another British or Spanish colonial structure plunked down in remote territory.

Over years of research, Kemble and her team culled the best of Dominican architecture: the rustic charm of farmhouses, the graceful elements of Puerto Plata Victorian homes, and the delicate features of French Victorian island residences. It

The three-bedroom bungalows live like private vacation homes, with dining rooms (above), living rooms (left), and walls that give way to porches.

all came together in a style Kemble calls “garden fantastical,” an enchanted mélange of pale aqua corrugated zinc roofs, tabla de palma (split heart of palm wood) siding, shuttered windows and bifold doors that open to the elements, and tragaluz (patterned woodwork) transoms that swallow and disperse light.

But it wouldn’t be a Kemble design if it didn’t in some way invoke Palm Beach. Her main reference point was Duck’s Nest, her great grandfather’s lakefront house and one of the first homes on Palm Beach. The three-gabled roof of that Victorian kit house is a prominent element in Playa Grande’s three-bedroom bungalows.

Next door to Duck’s Nest, the Old Church—the original Bethesdaby-the-Sea Episcopal Church that was later converted into a residence—was another muse. It’s the house Kemble grew up in and remains the residence of her mother, Mimi McMakin. “The onebedrooms have this octagonal gazebo-like structure drawn from my bedroom and from my mom’s bedroom, which is under the turret of the church,” she says.

The tile designs that appear throughout the Playa Grande clubhouse, bungalow bathrooms, and porches were borrowed from

It’s the mix of materials and the layers of things that make it really work.”

the white-and-pale-green Portuguese tile that dominates McMakin’s “pink porch.” With that inspiration, Kemble custom-designed 30 patterns for the beach club and had Dominican artisans make the tiles by hand.

But the influence of the Palm Beach houses reached beyond design.

“Celerie grew up on a compound of four houses, where children wandered back and forth,” McMakin says. “There was an incredible feeling of openness, friendliness, and casualness. She’s re-created that instant welcoming feeling at Playa Grande.”

That’s partly accomplished by purposeful planning, which involves meandering paths that connect the houses with the gardens and the

beach. Guests are free to roam and discover.

Children, especially, love that. “There’s even a manny who teaches the kids how to surf or to catch crabs for the crab races at night,” McMakin says. “The play is reduced to the way it was: simple and very happy.”

At the beach club, even the furnishings speak of joyful childhoods and carefree living. “In Palm Beach, we’ve always had a mix of some old, some new, some amusing,” McMakin says. “Like the furnishings Celerie grew up with, everything looks as if it’s been treasured.”

It’s not surprising that many of the pieces came from local stores.

“There are a lot of weird wicker animals, side tables with turtles or frogs, and art that I bought from vintage sales or auctions [in West Palm Beach’s Antique Row],” Kemble says. “A good third of what I bought has cycled through the old houses in Palm Beach.”

Much of the design is based on Kemble’s memories. Case in point: a four-poster bed with green and white vines that McMakin had made DAPHNE NIKOLOPOULOS

for the Red Cross Designers’ Show House 20-some years ago. “After the show house ended, it became my bed in Palm Beach,” Kemble says. “It’s still one of the most beautiful things ever.

I brought the idea to the [local] ironworker,” who created a similar bed in copper and iron.

The same man—a Puerto Plata artisan named Neno—crafted the copper bathtubs, light fixtures, and hardware

throughout the property. That was central to Kemble’s grand plan. “I wanted the place to look old,” she says. “Everything we put in had to be aged or have the ability to age in a charming direction. There’s nothing prettier or more gentle-garden than the green patina of copper.”

The charm of Playa Grande Beach Club is a testament to Kemble’s talent for mixing high and low, new and old, bold and delicate in a way that is studied yet comes across as insouciant, effortless. “It’s the mix of materials and the layers of things that make it really work,” she says. “They are all distinctive words that make a meaningful poem.”

Kemble’s “poem” has been developed through years of travel, keen observation, and her own genteel upbringing. And in many ways, this property is its apogee.

“With Playa Grande, I wanted to create something we would all feel sentimental about and carried away by,”

she says. “There’s a sense of whimsical irreverence that makes you feel lighthearted and careless against the backdrop of rugged weather, strong sun, big winds and waves, and huge trees. It’s something delicate and romantic inside that wild world.”

And there is more to come. In development is a series of “jungalows,” which will be more rustic and natural— a bit like chic tree houses—to play off their location in the forested part of the property. They will have a different feeling entirely but will keep with the mantra of nature superseding anything man-made.

Although the raw beauty of the D.R.’s north coast is the protagonist on Kemble’s stage, the property’s “small prettinesses”—the hammocks swinging in the breeze, the wicker chairs that have weathered just so, the dappled light of mid-afternoon—play an important supporting role in the experience.

“You do feel small against nature but cossetted by the many delicacies around you,” she says. “It’s highly designed, yet it doesn’t feel formal.

There’s a sense of silliness that tells [you] you don’t have to have your shoes on or your hair brushed.”

“There’s a great deal of whimsy and fantasy, which is a necessity when you’re on vacation,” McMakin adds.

“Something that is so comfortable and joyful takes a tremendous amount of planning. Each piece is carefully sought out. It makes you say, ‘Isn’t this lovely? Isn’t it fun?’” « Hair: Gregory Ash Yomontano, Deborah Koepper Beauty, Palm Beach Makeup: Deborah Koepper using Deborah Koepper cosmetics, Deborah Koepper Beauty, Palm Beach Wardrobe: Lela Rose, New York Location: The McMakin residence, Palm Beach

Area sugar artists create springinspired displays too beautiful to eat

GARDEN OF DELIGHTS

f

or this spring scene, Stephanie Steliga of Artful Desserts in West Palm Beach wanted to capture the whimsy and rebirth associated with the change of seasons.

Growing up in New Jersey, Steliga anticipated the reemergence of flora—and all the gardening that came with it. “The gardening is more for my father because he loves to garden, and he has a green thumb,” she says. “It’s things we did together when I was a child.”

Steliga set out to make something very detail oriented, with myriad vignettes that tell the story of spring. “I always make everything difficult,” she jokes. “I like to tell a story.” Originally, she started with two levels but added a third to accommodate all her pieces and her many techniques.

palmbeachillustrated.com | APRIL 2016

Steliga used a variety of techniques and materials to create these spring vignettes. Many of the tiny, life-like details, including the American flag and the copy of Uncle Tom's Cabin, were made using edible imaging.

76

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

“

I don’t look at it as a piece of candy; I look at how it can be utilized to make something or add a different component that people would never think of.”

With just a few exceptions, the entire display is edible. The base is made of wood and accented with gum paste and fondant to further imbue a woodland feel. The grass is an edible imaging sheet (a thin piece of fondant rolled through a pasta machine) sprinkled with baked sugar-cookie crumbles. The moss climbing up the side is actually shredded wheat that Steliga tore apart and covered with an edible spray and powder dust. Because you can’t garden without tools, Steliga made the wheelbarrow from colored gum paste and the shovel and rake from both gum paste and chocolate, while the mulch is coffee grounds.

The true signs of spring—flowers and vegetation—are realized in a variety of materials. Steliga crafted crops of marzipan carrots and apples as well as gum-paste, cookie, and wax-paper florals emerging from chocolate pots painted with clay-brown food color.

Of course, where there is flora there is fauna. A cardinal made of marzipan emerges from a gingerbread birdhouse. A bashful bunny com

posed of meringue powder longingly eyes the carrots. A wafer-paper butterfly pauses on the handle of a basket of apples. Look closely and you’ll find another quintessential sign of spring: a shredded-wheat nest holding two malted robin’s eggs.

The cherry-blossom tree at the center of it all is made of gum paste and fondant and was inspired by a trip to Washington, D.C. Steliga says: “I thought of Washington and that time of year when the trees are all blossoming. You put yourself where you can smell it, and it’s almost like you’re there.”

From inspiration to final scene, the project took about three weeks to complete. For Steliga, the opportunity to share her artistic vision of spring in sugar made it all worth it. “[I love] the creativity of what you can do with common ingredients,” she says. “I don’t look at it as a piece of candy; I look at how it can be utilized to make something or add a different component that people would never think of.” (561-713-7770) palmbeachillustrated.com | APRIL 2016

ou don’t always need paint and a canvas to make a work of art. Sometimes, all it takes is gum paste.

“It’s just like children playing with Play-Doh,” says Janderyn Makris of Earth and Sugar. “That’s how we feel about gum paste.”

Makris, cake artist Desiree Ann Carrodeguas, and the rest of the Earth and Sugar team used gum paste, wire, and floral tape to craft this duo of sugar bouquets. A custom cake and confection studio based in Palm Beach, Earth and Sugar prides itself on its artistry and ability to tempt the eyes and the taste buds.

Veining details in the petals and the leaves help bring the piece to life.

“We’re known for our sugar flowers because they’re not botanically correct all the time, so they tend to be much larger than life,” Makris says.

“I think it speaks more to who we are, which is definitely out of the box and a little different.”

When starting a project, Makris first chooses colors and textures— then lets the inspiration follow. For these bouquets, she highlighted deep, muted hues with a few splashes of light blue and blush. Over the course of about two weeks, Makris and her team dyed the gum paste before cutting out around 100 petals and leaves. Then they used veining tools to make each individual piece look stunningly lifelike.

When it came to the composition, the inspiration was twofold: Carrodeguas recalled a still life she had seen at a museum in Washington,

D.C., while Makris wanted to evoke a luxurious foyer.

“One of the things people know about Palm Beach is just beautiful homes and entryways,” she says. “So I thought, why not emulate a foyer?”

Makris outfitted the inside of a picture frame with linen and then created a foundation for the mounted display by stapling the larger stems (made of wire and covered with floral tape) and hot-gluing some of the small petals. Afterward, she hooked individual petals and leaves onto the base with wire. A second bouquet in a vintage silver urn completes the picture.

The overall look exudes elegant simplicity—a feat Makris says is hard to achieve. “What we’ve come to believe is that it’s the simplest of things, or the images that don’t show such an elaborate display, that actually take the longest.” (561-735-1796, earthandsugar.com)

A Fanciful

Feast Margie Allinson hosts a philanthropic dinner party that reflects her heritage and her passion for color

“[The Ultimate Dinner Party] is not your typical dinner party.

It has to be a step above.”

lives life in color. A mane of golden hair frames her rosy cheeks, which deepen to a charming shade of rouge when she discusses her passions: food, design, and philanthropy. Originally from Panama, Margie’s Latin upbringing comes to life in her love of vibrant hues and her warm entertaining style.

“I like to feel at ease and to celebrate,” she says. “Being Latin American, [we] tend to exaggerate and probably have way too much food. It’s more like a feast, rather than nouvelle cuisine.”

For a recent feast in November, Margie and her husband, Ed, invited friends—both new and old—into their home for the Ultimate Dinner Party. A charitable event benefiting Children’s Home Society of Florida, the Ultimate Dinner Party begins with a large cocktail gathering before everyone heads out to Palm Beach homes for intimate meals. Although they have attended many times, this was the Allinsons’ first year hosting a dinner party. And consummate entertainer Margie was ready to tackle the challenge.

“I love that it’s a wonderful cause and that so many people get involved in a very hands-on way,” she says. “Everyone pitches in.”

On this occasion, Christofle Palm Beach manager Sandra Palmer helped envision and execute the decor. Margie is a trained interior designer, and while she usually opts for simplicity, she knew her Ultimate Dinner Party had to exude elegance.

“It’s a little more formal but not in a stuffy way,” she says.

“It’s not your typical dinner party. It has to be a step above.”

She decided to let her table do the talking through bright family heirlooms paired with timeless Christofle items, all set against a white backdrop.

“We worked together with [Margie’s] own beautiful pieces and pieces from Christofle to create this gorgeous tablescape and setting,” Palmer says. “We kept layering the table until it was really stunning.”

The ladies began with items Margie had inherited from her mother: Herend china and colorful Czechoslovakian crystal glassware. Palmer incorporated silver Guilloche chargers and Jardin d’Eden flatware, both by Christofle. She then used petite Christofle picture frames as place-card holders and small glasses as votives that played off the colors of the glassware.

With the scene set, the Allinsons and their Pomeranian, Foxy, were ready to welcome guests at 8 p.m. The group enjoyed pre-dinner drinks in the living room before sitting down to a four-course meal by chef Roderick Smith of Farms to Chef.

Smith and his wife, Peggy, are longtime supporters of Children’s Home Society, and this evening marked their twenty-third year cooking for the Ultimate Dinner Party. “The chefs who participate have an opportunity to contribute to Children’s Home Society and support

Chef Roderick Smith served a four-course meal that included grilled duck breast (above), a veal entrée (opposite page), and a trio of desserts (pictured here).

all they do for children by doing what we do best: cook,” Smith says. “It is very rewarding for us.”

Margie is famous for her osso buco and Panamanian chicken pie, but she had something special in mind for the Ultimate Dinner Party: veal and eggplant puree, a combination she first had in Istanbul. “We started with the entrée and built the menu around that,” Smith says of the meal, which boasted meat as well as locally caught seafood and fresh vegetables. “Our company specializes in locally grown produce, and we worked to get as much local on the menu as possible. All the vegetables came from Palm Beach County farms, and the seafood was locally sourced as well.”

The first course highlighted that local seafood in the form of jumbo lump crabmeat resting in a chilled roasted heirloom tomato soup with thyme sorbet and a poppy-seed bread straw. Next, guests dined on fresh local greens with grilled duck breast, hearts of palm, orange sections, goat-cheese crostini, citrus vinaigrette, and sweet-potato crisps.

Then came Margie’s favorite dish: the roast tenderloin of veal, served with a local vegetable medley, eggplant puree, and a truffle demi glace.

The meal concluded with a trio of miniature desserts including Key lime pie, a mixed berry Napoleon, and a chocolate cone filled with a duo of Grand Marnier and white-chocolate mousses. For the wine, Margie chose a Chardonnay from Truchard Vineyards and a Chateau Lane Winery Merlot, both selections from a recent trip to Napa Valley.

After a conversational dinner, the group retired to the library for coffee and other late-night libations. When they dispersed shortly after 11 p.m., Margie gifted each guest with a Christofle bookmark so everyone could forever earmark the evening in their memories. «

Looking for something new to please your palate? Keep an eye out for notable wines from these producers around the world. By Mark Spivak

T

he geography of wine used to be simple: Connoisseurs drank Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, and vintage Port, with the occasional high-quality German Riesling thrown into the mix. The truth is, nothing else was taken very seriously.

Then came the explosion in California wine that followed the 1976 “Judgment of Paris” tasting, the winemaking revolutions in Italy and 96

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Spain, and the refinement of technique in Chile, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Today, more than 60 countries produce notable wines, and although much of it isn’t yet imported to the United States, American consumers are constantly on the lookout for the next emerging wine region. Here are five spots to watch closely in the years ahead.

Canada

Our neighbors to the north have traditionally been best known for sparkling wine and dessert wine—particularly ice wine. Like German eiswein, ice wine is made by leaving the grapes on the vine to freeze, yielding tiny amounts of sweet, concentrated juice.

The primary wine regions in Canada are the Okanagan Valley (British Columbia) and the Niagara Peninsula (Ontario). Inniskillin (inniskillin.com) is the most accessible Canadian ice-wine producer in the United States and it yields versions from Riesling and the Vidal, a hybrid variety. JacksonTriggs (jacksontriggswinery.com) makes wine from Okanagan and Niagara and also distributes ice wine locally, as does Legends Estates Winery based in Niagara (legends estates.com). All three properties also produce a range of dry wines that are not yet stocked on American shelves.

In recent years, climate change has enabled Canadian wineries to work successfully with red varieties. Among the more widely available brands in Canada that will hopefully be coming to the United States

Clockwise from top right: Inniskillin ice wine; barrel cellar at Jackson-Triggs; Blue Mountain Vineyard at Okanagan Valley; White Meritage from Jackson-Triggs; Dark Horse Vineyard at Inniskillin Winery.

soon include Black Sage in Okanagan (black sagevineyard.ca), producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a Portstyle dessert blend, and Le Clos Jordanne (leclosjordanne.com). Originally created in Niagara as a joint venture between Inniskillin and Jaffelin, Le Clos Jordanne, a Burgundy négociant, specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Like Mexico, Canada’s proximity to the United States makes it easy to explore the country’s wine regions. Viator lists more than 30 options ranging from conventional winery visits to more exotic trips by kayak or helicopter. When planning your Canadian winery excusion, visit winesofcanada.com, an independent website run by expert Robert Bell of British Columbia.

Wine Spectator startled consumers in 2014 when it rated the 2011 Chryseia Douro from Prats & Symington at 97 points and ranked it third on its annual Top 100 list.

Bodegas Santo Tomás

Portugal Port, the fortified dessert wine made from sturdy red varieties, has been Portugal’s main export for centuries. In recent decades, the white wines of Vinho Verde have also become popular, primarily for their freshness and value. The best Vinho Verde is made from the Alvarinho grape and comes from the lush northern region of Minho.

Increasingly, connoisseurs are taking note of Portugal’s red wines. Wine Spectator startled consumers in 2014 when it rated the 2011 Chryseia Douro from Prats & Symington at 97 points and ranked it third on its annual Top 100 list (chryseia.com). The Douro region also produces Port and contains many of the same grape varieties. The region is home to other exciting producers such as Quinta do Crasto (quintadocrasto.pt), which also owns Quinta de Roriz, and Quinta das Carvalhas (realcompaniavelha.pt). Other emerging Portuguese regions for red wine include Dão, Bairrada, and Alentejo.

With a plethora of distinct regions to explore and 250 grape varieties to taste, wine tourism is now a popular pastime for visitors to Portugal, which boasts one of the least expensive price structures in Europe.

The city of Porto—about three hours north of Lisbon—is a base for visiting the famous Port houses nestled in the surrounding hills and also serves as a departure point for exploring the regions mentioned above. (visitportugal.com; winesofportugal.com)

Château Camou

Mexico

After subduing the Aztecs in 1521, the Spanish conquistadores quickly ran out of wine. Hernán Cortés ordered his men to plant vines, most of which resulted in the red grape varieties that eventually migrated all the way to Napa.

Today, Northern Baja—and the Valle de Guadalupe north of Ensenada in particular—is Mexico’s leading region. Top wineries include Château Camou (chateau-camou.com.mx), famous for El Gran Vino Tinto, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc; Monte Xanic (montex anic.com.mx), which produces Chardonnay as well as Bordeaux-style blends; the familyoperated Casa de Piedra (vinoscasade

Grapes in the Valle de Guadalupe region

piedra.com); and Bodegas Santo Tomás (santo-tomas.com), which has been producing wine continuously since 1888.

Despite the buzz that has surrounded Baja wine for the past decade, the industry is still in its infancy, and the wines can be hard to locate in the United States (though that is beginning to change). But with Ensenada fewer than two hours from the border, it’s easy to organize a brief day trip from San Diego or an extended visit, including the three-day escorted Provecho Valle Guadalupe Food and Wine Tour as well as the vintage festival that takes place in the region every August.

Despite the country’s economic woes, Greece is probably the world’s most exciting emerging wine region.

Greece

Despite the country’s economic woes, Greece is probably the world’s most exciting emerging wine region. There are dozens of estates making wine that can compete with the best of France, Spain, Italy, or Napa, and most of them are made for export markets.

Some of the better-known and more established wineries include Gaía (gaia-wines.gr), with facilities in both Nemea and Santorini; Domaine Skouras (skouras.gr) in the northeastern Peloponnese, founded by Burgundytrained George Skouras in 1986; and Domaine Sigalas (domaine-sigalas.com), producing lyrical whites on the island of Santorini.

A handful of winemakers personify this new generation of Greek excellence. Giannis Tselepos (tselepos.gr) makes a terrific rosé from the Agiorgitiko grape and an even better red Driopi Reserve. Vangelis Gerovassiliou, widely regarded as “the godfather of modern Greek winemaking,” partnered with Vassilis Tsaktsarlis to found Domaine Biblia Chora in 1998 (bibliachora.gr) and now turns out luscious whites and full-bodied reds from indigenous varieties. Domaine Katsaros (cavaspiliadis.com), a small family winery is best known for its Estate Red, a Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend.

Given the country’s size and number of wine regions, first-time visitors will be better off with an escorted tour, such as a day trip out of Athens organized by greecetaxi.gr or explorations of the Peloponnese offered by winetoursgreece.com. Enologist Sofia Perpera’s website, allaboutgreekwine.com, is also a good source of information.

Every year as Passover approaches, media outlets trot out obligatory stories on kosher wine, focusing mostly on the more commonly available commercial labels such as Yarden and Baron Herzog. In fact, the wine industry is flourishing in Israel, particularly in areas like the Judaean Hills and the Golan Heights, a subregion of Galilee.

Many of the best boutique kosher labels can be found both online and on local retail shelves. Notable wineries include Domaine du Castel (castel.co.il), a small, family-run operation in the Judaean Hills.

Known for Bordeaux-style blends, Domaine du Castel was the first Israeli winery to receive 90 points from American critic Robert

Parker. Napa-trained Danny Valero traveled across Israel in search of the perfect vineyard site before founding Ella Valley Vineyards (ellavalley.com), where he makes full-bodied and concentrated wines from low yields. The Dalton Winery in Galilee (dalton-winery.com)—established in 1995 by the Haruni family, who moved to Israel from England—has achieved popularity for its reasonably priced, Rhône-style blends.

The Israeli government is actively encouraging wine tourism and offers visitor information at goisrael.com. Additional resources include winetourismisrael.net, an online magazine and blog, as well as private tour operators such as myisraelwinetours.com. «

There once was a time when fast food and good food were mutually exclusive. That era is over, thanks to Tim and Chris Gannon. In February, the father-son duo opened Bolay, a fastcasual, health-conscious restaurant in Royal Palm Beach. While Tim is best known as the founder of Outback Steakhouse and PDQ, Chris came up with the idea for Bolay after identifying a need for fresh, flavorful foods in the create-your-own dining scene. The Gannons worked with Wolfgang Puck protégé Martin Oswald to build a menu of nutrient-rich super foods (like Peruvian quinoa and a marinated kale and currant salad), eloquently spiced proteins, and tasty takes on vegetables. Nothing is fried, and every ingredient is gluten free, all natural, made to order—and served in a bowl (no bread required). Of course, a healthy outpost isn’t complete without coldpressed juices and drinks, and Bolay serves up some delectable options, including 14 Karat (carrot, pineapple, turmeric, and cardamom) and Second Wind (cold-brew coffee, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt). At Bolay, no two orders are the same, but the Gannons guarantee you’ll feel good with whatever choice you make. (561-899-0111, eatbolay.com) —Mary Murray

Downtown West Palm was far less developed when Ben Lubin opened The Blind Monk in 2010. Since then, the hip outpost has evolved, moving away from the standard Cabernet and Pinot Noir and toward lesser-known varieties such as Kerner, Torrontes, Carignan, and Bonarda. “We’re the furthest from wine snobs you’re going to find,” says general manager Jason Hunt, who is a certified cicerone, or beer sommelier, which accounts for the 30 exotic craft brews on the menu. The dozen wine-friendly tapas include cheeses and charcuteries sourced from top U.S. and international producers. The wine list veers away from expensive bottles in favor of a focused selection. “It's not a museum list,” Lubin says, “but wines that we can train the staff on and actually sell.” (561-833-3605, theblindmonk.com)

Opened in March 2015 by entrepreneur Tony Solo, this 50-seat wine bar is part of a larger entertainment complex that includes an art gallery and an outdoor space featuring the work of South Florida’s top graffiti artists.

The wine bar itself has 50 selections by the glass, chosen by Solo in collaboration with veteran sommelier Jeremiah Bennett. The terrace beer garden doubles as an event space that can accommodate as many as 300 people, and Solo envisions the complex as groundwork for a larger culinary concept to be called Eat Scene. “It’s the perfect venue for events,” he says. “It’s far more personalized than a hotel ballroom, and there’s nothing else like it in South Florida.” (561-632-4906, winescenepalmbeach.com) 104 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Ever fantasize about trying wines like Vega Sicilia, Chateau Petrus, or Screaming Eagle but don’t want to spend hundreds (or thousands) for a bottle? Vault 39 features 19 machines from Napa Technology that preserve 76 wines under inert gas and dispense 1, 2.5, or 5 ounces of each. Even better, the cellar doubles as a store and uses retail markups, which are much cheaper than typical restaurant margins. “We’re trying to give customers the opportunity to drink wine they won’t find elsewhere,” says owner Danny Schmidt.

Selections rotate frequently, but Schmidt maintains both Old and New World choices. Vault 39 also features high-quality tapas, including cheese sourced from Sid Wainer & Son in New Bedford, Massachusetts. (561-904-6567, vault39winecellar.com)

“We want to expose people to more than just Napa Cab,” says Vino partner Sabrina Skoch. “Once you’ve tried the great Old World wines, it’s hard to go back.” Vino encourages its clients to make that transition by offering an astonishing 250 wines by the glass. Prices start at $10 and escalate past $200, with the higherend wines preserved in an Enomatic machine. The list is balanced between New and Old World but tilts heavily toward Italy to complement the rustic tapas menu. Tucked away on a side street near Mizner Park, the 40-seat space strives for a New York ambience that is both romantic and sexy. (561-869-0030, vinowinebarboca.com)

Bees are circling over Palm Beach, and they’re bringing nature’s bounty with them. Restaurateur Nick Coniglio, known for local eateries such as Cucina dell’Arte, E.R. Bradley’s, and Nick & Johnnie’s, opened Island Bee in December in the space formerly occupied by the Tropical Fruit Shop. The vegan café and market is an offshoot of The Bee in West Palm Beach, which has been dispensing a mix of yoga instruction and holistic food since late 2013. “My partners and I wanted to do something that was organic and healthy,” Coniglio says, “but we also wanted it to be creative and fun. There was no health food store in Palm Beach, so we realized we were filling a need.”

Island Bee draws on locally sourced ingredients for its large selection of juices and smoothies and also crafts those raw materials into intriguing dishes. Coniglio’s favorite is the Funky Funghi, a flatbread combining wild mushrooms with arugula, caramelized onion, and

vegan cheese. He’s also fond of the Sun Kissed Italian Bowl, a mix of artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, cauliflower, and local greens in a balsamic vinaigrette. Aside from the food, the most appealing aspect of Island Bee is its collaboration spaces, sections of the restaurant devoted to selling pottery, jewelry, home goods, and art alongside protein powders and bee pollen.

“We’d like to rotate artists and craftsmen as often as we can and make the space a showcase for everything being made in the community,” Coniglio says. (561-619-3657, islandbeepb.com) —M.S.

Cocktail Corner Strawberry Mule

Ever since its debut three years ago, Delray’s 3rd and 3rd has been on the cutting edge of local cocktail culture.

Its innovative drink menu changes with the seasons and makes creative use of the best available ingredients.

General manager Sabrina Milroy was brainstorming behind the bar one day when she added some strawberries to a classic Moscow Mule and liked the way it tasted. “It makes for an interesting variation on the Mule,” she says. “And the fruit lends a refreshing aspect to the drink.” Milroy mixes

Hangar One Vodka—an organic brand she prefers for its fresh, clean taste— with Barritts Ginger Beer and balances it all with a housemade strawberry shrub.

(561-303-1939, 3rdand3rd.com)

Strawberry Mule ½ oz. strawberry shrub 1 ½ oz. Hangar One Vodka 2 oz. Barritts Ginger Beer To make strawberry shrub, simmer a pint of strawberries with 1 cup white vinegar and ¼ cup sugar for 5-7 minutes.

Dry-shake vodka and shrub without ice. Pour over ice and top with ginger beer. Serve in a copper mug. —M.S.

Whisky’s New Stars

By Mark Spivak

Japan is the new Scotland when it comes to single malts, and three distilleries are leading the way 114 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

The world of distilled spirits was thrown into an uproar last year when the 2015 edition of The Whisky Bible (Whitman Publishing, $19.95) named the Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 the world’s best whisky. The annual roundup is edited by expert Jim Murray, who gave the Yamazaki 97.5 points out of a possible 100 and claimed it had a flavor of “near indescribable genius.”

It was the first time a Japanese whisky had won and also the first time a single malt from Scotland failed to place in the top five. But don’t expect to find a bottle of that Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013—few are still available, and the remaining ones are likely to cost more than $1,000.

Purists may regard Scotland as the best source of single-malt whisky, but Japan is closing the gap in terms of quality and popularity. Part of its success is a steady series of awards, but the phenomenon can also be traced to a huge and growing global demand for the best distilled spirits. Most of the whisky is made by a single company, Suntory (now known as Beam Suntory, after its acquisition of Beam Inc. for $16 billion in 2014).

Japanese whisky production began with the late Shinjiro Torii. A former pharmaceutical salesman, Torii founded a company called Kotobukiya, later known as Suntory. In 1924, against the advice of his investors, he opened the country’s first commercial distillery, Yamazaki, on the outskirts of Kyoto. From the beginning, he took Scotland as his model and founded Yamazaki near a source of pure spring water at the foot of Mount Tenno. The Hakushu distillery opened in 1973. In 1989, to commemorate the company’s ninetieth anniversary, Suntory founded Hibiki.

All three distilleries produce 12-year-old bottlings that are good introductions to Japanese whisky.

Yamazaki and Hakushu are single malts, while the Hibiki is a blend. The Yamazaki ($105) has a sweet, floral nose with touches of fermented lychee. It is rich yet nicely balanced in the mouth, with the sweetness and floral component giving way to pepper and spice in the mid palate and the spice notes offsetting the opulent texture.

Hakushu ($90) is unusual among Japanese malts in its use of peat; supposedly, the peated barley is imported directly from Scotland. It is lean and angular in the mouth, with a slightly oily texture. The peat comes through in the mid palate and continues on the finish, which is quite earthy. Water calms it down and mellows out the flavors.

The nose of the Hibiki ($100) is recessed and mellow, offering up aromas of autumn flowers with coaxing. It en-

ters the mouth sweetly, with a ripe and unctuous texture giving way to cream and spice in the middle. The spice notes build on the finish, which is long and resonant. This is a very smooth and palatable style of whisky, which becomes rounder and richer with the addition of water.

Hibiki’s newest expression, Japanese Harmony ($70), is a blend of 10 whiskies from the three Suntory distilleries, aged in five types of casks. Pale amber in color, it displays a sexy, inviting nose with scents of sweet oak and spring flowers. It enters the mouth smoothly and expands in the mid palate with flavors of vanilla, toffee, pepper, and citrus zest. The long finish resonates with echoes of white pepper. Enjoy it neat, with a splash of water, or with a single ice cube. «

Shinjiro Torii (above) took cues from Scotland when opening Yamazaki.

Madness

Brantley Photography

In designing the interiors of this Hobe Sound home for a young couple from Rye, New York, Jacquelyn Armour of JMA Interior Design aimed to provide her clients with something different from their northern estate while maintaining a traditional aesthetic. “Since the architecture of the home is fairly classical, I wanted to keep the spaces inviting yet playful with color and texture,� Armour says.

A melon grass-cloth wall covering adds a fresh note in the living room.

In the dining room, the color reappears in the form of cabana stripes.

Turquoise accents and white-painted woods underscore the Florida aesthetic, while subtle geometric patterns add another layer of visual interest.

Sweet Dreams Krista Watterworth Design Studio joined the Ivy League– chic faction of the preppy movement for this Wellington bedroom. “This room was meticulously designed for a former Connecticut debutante who loves bold style but loathes flamboyance,” Watterworth says. “I was inspired by the French phrase bon chic, bon genre (good style, good attitude), a description of the country’s most elite, whose fashion is sophisticated and colorful but never flashy. With this in mind, I chose the highest quality linens, lush textiles, and silver and crystal accents to button up the look.” Palm Beach Gardens (561530-3983, kristawatterworth.com)

Anthropologie locaStrategy to stand out: Offer the clastions (800-309-2500, sics with a twist. I’m all about the banana anthropologie.com) leaf and palm prints inspired by vintage Palm Beach. I’d use my palm-printed napkins and incorporate hints of pink or turquoise with flowers and glassware.

oversized trousers is totally acceptable in my book.

Strategy to stand out: Use neutral linens and lots of pretty flowers to add pops of color.

Fun decor touch: Mix patterns, flowers, and colors.

Much like clothing, I think it’s fun to play around with patterns and colors as long as they unite well.

For lunch, I’d use mismatched table settings in the same color scheme or mix it up by placing a small vintage print with a larger pattern.

Luxury Real Estate Sellers

BENEFIT FROM PIPELINE TO NORTHEAST

By Kristen Lunceford

“There’s a steady pipeline of buyers in the Northeast looking for luxury real estate in our market,” Thomson says. “Whether it’s homes or condos, my counterparts understand this area is our specialty.”

Waterfront Properties and Club Communities’ Managing Partner Rob Thomson is recognized as having one of the local area’s largest international real estate broker networks. Less known, but no less advantageous to sellers in the Northern Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast, is Thomson’s network of domestic real estate brokers across the Northeast.

Local sellers often don’t understand how to effectively place their properties in front of these potential buyers. Thomson wants sellers to know that through his network, these potential buyers are made aware of their properties.

“Long gone are the days that an agent could place an ad in a glossy magazine, sit back and wait for buyers to come from the Northeast, or even one block east,”

Thomson says. “Many still try but, trust me, it doesn’t work anymore.”

Thomson points instead to relationships and the Internet as the only two reliable avenues to sell luxury real estate. He and his Waterfront Properties and Club Communities’ team spend a great deal of time cultivating and maintaining personal relationships with brokers in the Northeast and elsewhere.

“Anyone can call someone in New Jersey and attempt to market a property, just like anyone in New York can do a listing search for a very specific type of property in our area,” he comments. “It’s a very different thing to have an agent call me direct and say, ‘I’m looking for this.What do you have that fits the bill?’”

Even after finding a property online, agents can and do seek Rob’s assistance.

They leverage his Waterfront team’s local knowledge to negotiate the sale of the property, even when the property is listed by another company.

Thomson doesn’t imply any guarantees, only that the combination of authentic relationships and a multi-million dollar investment in Internet professionals and marketing give Waterfront’s sellers an undeniable advantage.

Towne Realty Group Owner, Broker, Realtor Karen Eastman Bigos knows firsthand the benefits of these authentic relationships. “My connection to Rob Thomson and Waterfront Properties, in the Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate Network, is an invaluable resource for cooperative referrals and marketing

RHODE ISLAND

ideas.” Bigos’ Towne Realty Group is a specialist in New Jersey’s exclusive Millburn and Short Hills areas, having transacted more than $1 billion in sales over the last decade.

“Many of my clients in New Jersey own a second home in the dozens of resort communities around Jupiter, where Rob and his agents dominate the market,” she says. “Whether my clients are buying or selling, I have complete confidence in making introductions to Rob’s brokerage. There are few in our business with the acumen and track record that he brings. My company and my clients benefit from my relationship with Rob and Waterfront.”

Beyond the benefits to transactions, Bigos values the ongoing sharing of

information. “Several of my company’s most successful strategies in social media and organizational systems are a direct result of following Rob’s advice. He is directly responsible for me generating over $20 million in sales.”

Thomson says Bigos touches on the most important factor in why authentic relationships just work, ultimately to the benefit of sellers and buyers alike. “Karen nails it. We are engaged in constant knowledge transfer. And, it’s not just us. It’s every member of our casual and professional networks, chiefly Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate. Because we are concerned with making our industry better for all our clients, we are constantly trying to improve our processes and technology.”

As he often does, Thomson boils down Waterfront Properties’ phenomenal success to an impossibly simple philosophy: “It comes down to work.

We do the work. We align ourselves, and our clients, with motivated people and companies like Towne Realty who share our work ethic and commitment to bringing qualified buyer-eyes to our sellers’ properties. When you put a deal together the right way, with the right people, it truly is a win-win.”

Wealth

Luxury Living: Outlook Good Looking to buy in South Florida in the year ahead? Experts weigh in.

By Judy Martel Built on northern dreams of a tropical paradise, generations of wealthy home buyers have been attracted to South Florida’s sun-drenched magnetism. While Florida real estate has long been a roller coaster with soaring heights and rock-bottom dips, ever since its first major boom-and-bust cycle in the 1920s it has always managed to come back stronger. As buyers seek more top-notch amenities, builders respond with bigger and better homes. Brad O’Connor, Ph.D., director of economic research for Florida Realtors, and Danielle Hale, managing director of housing research for the National Association of Realtors, walk us through the current state of the luxury real estate market in the Sunshine State—and what to expect in the future.

THE BOUNCEBACK According to O’Connor, in the wake of the latest housing meltdown in 2007 and 2008, sales of homes priced at $1 million and above have been steadily improving, boosted by the soaring stock market in the years following the recession and Florida’s enduring desirability for wealthy retirees and 142 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

investors. In South Florida, luxury home sales in 2015 represented around 4.8 percent of the overall housing market, compared with about 2.6 percent nationwide.

“After the crash, the luxury market was one of the first to begin recovering in Florida,” he says, adding that he believes retiring baby boomers will continue to seek homes in the area. “You can get more bang for your buck in Florida than pretty much anywhere else.”

The Year AheaD Despite a lackluster performance from the stock market in 2015, O’Connor sees little slowdown in sales of pricey homes this year.

“The typical luxury buyer is in pretty good shape,” he says.

The exception might be the international buyer. Florida has long been an attraction for home buyers from South America, but Hale points out that the strong U.S. dollar means property is more expensive for overseas buyers.

Of course, rising interest rates are on everyone’s minds. In December, the Federal Reserve made the move everyone was dreading when it raised the federal funds rate by a quarter percent. But while this may not be the best news for younger, high-income buyers who borrow for $1-million-plus homes, Hale and O’Connor don’t expect it to have much of an impact on the luxury home mar-

v

ket. Rates on fixed-rate, 30-year loans are still relatively low, hovering around 4 percent on both conventional mortgages and jumbo mortgages (those above $417,000).

And, notes O’Connor, “a lot of the wealthy are all-cash buyers” anyway.

Even if rates continue to rise, O’Connor says it won’t significantly slow down sales. So far, demand for pricey homes is strong and inventory remains steady: “New listings are selling as fast as they’re coming on the market.” «

My Bell

For an all-in-one fitness machine, reach for the kettlebell. Typically weighing between 9 and 105 pounds, a kettlebell is a cast-iron ball with a handle on top. Unlike dumbbells, its unique design distributes weight unevenly, “thus creating the need to counterbalance and stabilize during your workout,” says fitness trainer Erika Strimer, founder of the West Palm Beach–based program Total Movement. A kettlebell can target all the major muscle groups in a short amount of time, she says, and its small size makes it portable. Additionally, “working out with a kettlebell guarantees to get your heart pumping, which translates into aerobic and metabolic benefits,” Strimer says. “I've clocked anywhere between 500 and 900 calories burned during my kettlebell workouts. With rest breaks and the increase in heart rate, it's like getting a cardio-interval workout while lifting and gaining strength.” (561-602-4774, themovementwpb.com) —Jennifer Pfaff

Happy Trails

Horseback riding is no doubt a fun pastime, but it’s also extremely beneficial to your health—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

“It’s a lot of core strength, a lot of leg strength, and good for posture,” says Jennifer Gebhardt, head trainer at Sandi Trails, a riding program based out of the Jupiter Equestrian Center. “It uses similar muscle groups to Pilates and yoga.” Riding for 45 minutes can burn as many as 200 calories, according to a study published in June in the International Journal of Exercise Science.

Trotting is similar to jogging, Gebhardt says, and the core gets a workout as riders balance themselves on a moving object. Taking steps like removing stirrups can further activate the legs, as it requires using more leg muscles.

Spending time on a horse can also strengthen interpersonal abilities. “You have to have good leadership skills, set boundaries, be assertive without being emotional, and manage frustration, anger, and self-consciousness,” Gebhardt says.

To that end, Sandi Trails has launched new programs that use riding to help adults build confidence and develop as leaders—skills that can be applied to life outside of horses.

Riding through Jupiter’s Cypress Creek Natural Area, equestrians also benefit from the stress reduction that occurs from being around horses and in nature, says Sandi Trails owner Sandi Johnson. Paths wind through swamp and dry areas, showcasing the many microenvironments of the Florida wilderness.

It’s the perfect place to spend Earth Day, April 22. Says Johnson: “It’s a good reminder that there are important green spaces we need to protect and animals living in the wild we need to conserve.” (561-373-3952, sanditrails.com) —J.P.

Red wine has long been lauded for its health benefits, but two other libations once viewed as vices are stealing the

spotlight as agents of health. A recent study published in the journal Circulation asserts those who drink between three and five cups of coffee a day are at a 15 percent lower risk for premature death. Although everyone should monitor caffeine intake, the coffee bean is loaded with nutrients and phytochemicals that could lower the risk of death from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurologic disease. Champagne lovers can also rejoice: Scientists at the University of Reading have found drinking one to three glasses a week could counteract age-associated memory loss and delay degenerative brain disorders like dementia. These benefits might be attributable to bubbly’s phenolic compounds, which are derived from the grapes Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay (and are more abundant in Champagne than in white wine). The compounds positively impact memory control and learning by slowing down the depletion of proteins linked to these processes. —M.M.

“With activewear being used for so much more now than working out, I want to create pieces that can be transformed from yoga mat to lunch date to happy hour,” Gallagher says.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall reflects upon faith and his bedside experiences in his new book Touching Heaven: A Cardiologist’s Encounters With Death and Living Proof of an Afterlife (FaithWords, $24). As chief of the cardiovascular transplant program at the Palm Beach Cardiovascular Clinic, Crandall has walked with many patients on life’s final path, encounters that have reinforced his belief in the afterlife. He has previously published two other books, including The Simple Heart Cure: The 90-Day Program to Stop and Reverse Heart Disease (Humanix Books, $24.95), and lectures extensively about the heart and cardiovascular care. Death has also touched Crandall in a very personal way: His son, Chad, passed away from leukemia as a teenager, and Crandall founded the Chadwick Foundation in his honor to provide medical resources to people in underprivileged areas.

Pillow Talk Firm, soft, flat, curvy—the idea of the perfect pillow is different for everybody, which is why Palm Beach County residents Lacy Lueck and Chrissy Fusaro Colton invented an adjustable option called The Right Pillow.

Handmade using organic materials, the pillow offers a wool or shredded latex filling that can be removed to reach a desired firmness.

Tug the strings to create tufted dips, which function as a customizable head-resting loft.

While The Right Pillow is meant to be comfortable in any sleeping position, it was originally designed to ease tossing and turning and support sleeping on your back, which Lueck and Colton say can improve circulation, drain sinuses, and prevent wrinkles caused by resting on the face, neck, or chest. Now, that’s something to dream about. (therightpil low.com) —J.P.

Specializing in treating the patient as opposed to just the symptoms. – Dr. Becky Campbell What differentiates your practice from other specialists in the field?

Patients come to me with issues such as thyroid disorders, diabetes, autoimmune disease, fatigue, weight gain, depression, and anxiety. I look to find the root cause of the issue instead of treating the symptoms. I give each person a unique, individualized treatment plan based on what I find from our specialized testing.

What made you become a doctor of natural medicine?

I suffered with symptoms I could not understand for years. I went to countless doctors and got little to no answers. Then I started to research things on my own and finally found a functional/natural medicine doctor who really helped me. I knew that was what I wanted to do for other people, and I’ve been on this journey ever since.

Albert Watson

ON the

Photographer Albert Watson was born blind in one eye, but that didn’t stop him from creating some truly iconic images—like Kate Moss wearing an oversized headpiece, Andy Warhol holding a beach ball, and a stunning black and white portrait of Steve Jobs simply contemplating. Since 1970, the Scottish artist has forged a prolific career in art, fashion, and celebrity photography, and a selection of his work will be on display at the Holden Luntz Gallery in Palm Beach starting April 16. The pieces will be part of the group exhibition “Just Out of Reach: Pictures with an Edge,” which aims to demonstrate how photographers use enticing techniques to draw viewers closer. For instance, tasked in 1989 with photographing designer Issey Miyake’s fashions for British Elle, Watson produced this abstract portrait that presents the clothes in a sculptural form. This image and others will be shown in the gallery through May 28. (561-805-9550, holdenluntz.com) —Jennifer Pfaff

In April, the Morikami hosts a Japanese tea ceremony (far left) and an art exhibition of Japanese tattoos, including works by artist Miyazo (left).

From Tea to

tatToos

The normally tranquil Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens is abuzz with activity this month, with three exciting special events. On April 9, observe the etiquette, choreographed movements, and spiritual discipline of the sado tea ceremony, where attendees can sample the beverage following the demonstration. On April 16 and 17, immerse yourself in a vivid fusion of martial arts, bonsai, drumming shows, samurai sword fighting, and Japanese street food at the Morikami’s largest annual event, the Hatsume Fair, which celebrates the first bud of spring. Finally, stop by the museum before May 8 to check out “Perseverance: Japanese Tattoo Tradition in a Modern World.” The striking exhibition explores the history of Japan’s most enigmatic art form, one that’s often misunderstood despite its mainstream popularity.

AERIN LLC Courtesy of

Aerin Lauder

mecox gardens

Aerin Lauder caught the beauty bug at an early age. She learned the basics from her grandmother, beauty mogul Estée Lauder, who would mix small batches of her iconic fragrances at home. After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania, Aerin devoted 20 years to the family cosmetics empire before launching her own collection, AERIN, in 2012.

The small line quickly evolved into a global lifestyle brand that now offers myriad beauty and skin-care essentials, fragrances, accessories, and home furnishings available at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and premium lifestyle purveyors including Hive Home, Gift, & Garden in West Palm Beach. Lauder and her husband, Eric Zinterhofer, maintain homes in Manhattan, Aspen, and East Hampton and enjoy visiting her family’s Palm Beach estate with their two sons and dogs.

TOP fashion designers Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, Valentino, and Stella McCartney BEST PALM BEACH BITE Strawberry pie at Testa’s NOW READING Lee by Lee Radziwill FAVORITE BAND The Beatles WHEN IN PALM BEACH I love visiting the local gardens and shops. Some of my favorites are Mecox Gardens, Leta Austin Foster Boutique, and Hive Home, Gift, & Garden.

GUILTY PLEASUREs Potato chips, Swedish Fish candies, and Diet Coke—all habits I should probably think about dialing back on.

SIGNATURE SCENTS I love AERIN Rose de Grasse (roses are my favorite flowers), and AERIN Mediterranean Honeysuckle Parfum is the perfect spring scent.
