From the Editor
It began, like many great conversations do, with coffee. About a year ago, Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival mastermind, and longtime friend, David Sabin and I met at Paneterie to kick around some ideas for coverage of the festival’s 10-year anniversary. It was a milestone year for the event that began, quite humbly, as a tasting in a shopping-center courtyard and grew to a four-day, food-coma-inducing shindig with chefs of international renown. That deserved a grand gesture. A couple of cups of dark roast later, a concept was hatched. We’d ask some of the star participants to step out of their chef whites—and comfort zones—and do something a little, you know, glamorous. Maybe something with a retro vibe. It sounded like a plan, and the logistics—well, we’d figure that out later. The story went from caffeine-steeped brainstorm to nuts-and-bolts strategy when our creative director, Olga Gustine, entered the conversation. Olga has a way of taking my inspiration/vision/crazy ideas and interpreting them into something spectacularly visual. “Retro” became “Rat Pack,” and the male personalities we’d selected—Johnny Iuzzini, Clay Conley, Tim Lipman, and Adam Richman—became Martin, Sinatra, Davis Jr., and Lawford. Of course, we needed a Judy Garland type to break up all that testosterone, and sweet Lindsay Autry fit the bill. Olga researched iconic Rat Pack shots and asked photographer Vanessa Rogers to reproduce them with a modern edge. There was just one problem: What would they all wear? It’s not exactly common to find fedoras, lamé dinner jackets, and velvet wing-tips in a typical guy’s wardrobe. I expressed my concern to David. “Oh,” he said with a sideways smile, “don’t worry.” I will admit to walking into The Colony with some trepidation on the day of the shoot. As it turned out, David was right. My look must have been priceless when I got a load of Iuzzini’s wardrobe: an array of jacquard, velvet, and disco-bling jackets; about 15 fedoras; a skull ring to die for; suspenders and waistcoats; and enough watches and sunglasses to line the inside of a contraband coat. Richman was not to be outdone. Yes, he owned blue velvet wing-tips. And yes, he’d conveniently picked up a dressing gown with skulls and crossbones on a recent trip to London. It was a good start, but the real magic began when our subjects interacted. From belting out an old tune at the piano to busting each other’s chops at the bar, none of which was done for the benefit of the camera, there was no question that these chefs are part of a tribe founded on camaraderie and categorical support. As Lindsay Autry said, “We know how hard it is to open a restaurant, so we kind of feel sorry for each other.” It was a year in the making, but I believe we captured that magic on the cover and in A toast to the Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival with “Chefs on the Town” on page 54. I hope you’ll savor it as much as we’ve enjoyed creating it. (from left) Adam Richman, Clay Conley, and Tim Lipman

Blocks Building
Since bursting onto the toy scene in 1958, the Lego brick has become a treasured part of many childhoods. From April 28 to May 15, The Gardens Mall will prove Legos transcend generations with the “Lego Takeover!” exhibition. Nearly 50 life-sized Lego sculptures—ranging from superheroes to princesses, ninjas to Star Wars characters—will be on display for the first time ever in Florida. Visitors are also encouraged to build their own creations, design a racecar to compete on the Lego Race Ramps, and check out the pop-up Lego shop, with proceeds to benefit charities in Palm Beach County. Events like the adults-only grand opening on April 28 and the kid-friendly Lego Movie night on May 6 round out the experience. “Who doesn’t love Lego bricks?” asks Michele Jacobs, corporate director of marketing and operations at The Gardens Mall. “I have such fond memories of playing with them as a kid, and even better memories with my son constructing sculptures like the castle from the Harry Potter series and the White House. This is a chance for people of all ages to make their own memories with Lego bricks.” Palm Beach Gardens (561-775-7750, thegardensmall.com)

VIA
ENCANTADA
Arguably the quirkiest via of them all, Via Encantada sports bright staircases that connect its two stories. Island institution Calypso St. Barth beckons shoppers to explore this recess accented with whimsical chandeliers and technicolor decor.
VIA
MARIO
Second only to Via Mizner in name recognition, Via Amore has three entrances and a plethora of eye candy. Its sculptures of children at play and pigs peeking into garbage receptacles exude a carefree atmosphere. Enjoy a bite at Café Flora or simply relax on a bench until sunset.

BICE
No visit to Via Bice is complete without dining at Bice Ristorante, famous for its decadent Italian cuisine. Aesthetically, this via is celebrated for its baby blue entryway and an armless statue.

Via Roma is known locally for its stunning skylight and enclosed galleria. Retail wise, it’s in a state of flux. Stuart Doppelt, owner of H.T. Stuart and Co., has purchased three shops inside the via and plans to fill it with commerce as vibrant as the environment.
VIA
PARIGI

The closest via to Cocoanut Row, Via Parigi welcomes passersby with a lush archway that leads to a Mediterraneaninspired oasis. The same Old World luxury is palpable at stores like Cashmere Palm Beach and Il Papiro, which specializes in handmade paper goods sure to please all calligraphers.

ROOTS OF LOVE
Amanda Schumacher in Brazil
30 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
CAPEHART
Amanda Schumacher’s passion for philanthropy began at home. The wife of Chuck Schumacher, president of the Schumacher Automotive Group, Amanda could provide her five children with ample material possessions, but she wanted to instill in them a need to give. Inspired by her faith, she decided to teach by example. One day, while she was driving in Riviera Beach, she was called to pick up a homeless woman and help her get back on her feet. That one good deed led her to establish the Tree of Life Foundation International, a charitable organization that advocates for underserved individuals and populations around the world. “This is not about the ones who have,” Amanda says. “It’s about the ones who don’t have, and they need to be heard.” The Tree of Life Foundation comprises branches that address an array of needs, like education, homelessness, human rights, and medical concerns. It aims to restore lives, with Amanda acting as the visionary behind global action initiatives. She calls herself a consolidator who uses her resources to
Game Time
make connections in order to better a community. Whether it’s uniting an ill Vietnamese man with life-saving care or communing with disadvantaged women in the Congo, Amanda makes empowering people her number one priority. “I’ve got a heart and perseverance that won’t stop,” she says. “It’s like a locomotive.” Here in Palm Beach County, Amanda’s main project is the Tree of Life Center. Located in West Palm Beach, the center houses 35 men and women who suffer from drug or alcohol addiction and are homeless. During a six-month program—which is totally free and funded by the Schumacher Family Foundation— these individuals prepare to reenter society through prayer, responsibility, and cooperation. “Instead of people helping them, they’re helping themselves,” Amanda says. A portion of the center’s funds comes from the Tree of Life Designer Store, an upscale consignment shop on Okeechobee Boulevard specializing in antiques, fine art, home decor, and women’s clothing. Beyond its offerings, the store reflects Amanda’s vision of transformation, as a graduate from the center helped her establish and grow the enterprise. “It takes a community to make a difference, and everyone has a piece in it,” Amanda says. “All I’m trying to do is consolidate.” (561833-1533, treeoflifefi.org; 561-6874965, treeoflifedesignerstore.com)
We’ve discovered the ultimate dose of playful nostalgia in Delray Beach. Located just off Atlantic Avenue, Silverball Museum houses more than 100 classic arcade games dating from the 1930s to today. Practically everything in the museum is playable, from wooden-rail baseball games of the 1950s to the classic arcade-culture fare of the 1980s, including Donkey Kong, Asteroids, and Space Invaders. Factor in dozens of pinball machines inspired by television and movies (the Addams Family is a must-play) and you have a recipe for a fun family outing. “It’s considered a museum, but it’s interactive so it’s a step back in time,” explains manager Dayna DiDomenico. Silverball has 600 games in its collection and regularly rotates its offerings, so there’s always reason to return for more. (561266-3294, silverballmuseum.com)
FASHION FINDS Palm Beacher Anita Gabler is on a mission to share her fashion knowledge with the masses. A designer herself, Gabler has spent the last seven years presenting informative luncheons that focus on fashion’s greatest creators, authors, and photographers. On April 18, she’ll host an event entitled Chanel Revisited: Fascinating Facts and Vintage Fashions at The Chesterfield hotel. During this three-course luncheon ($75, reservation required), she’ll divulge secrets like how Gabrielle Chanel came to be known as Coco. Gabler serves up even more haute know-how in her new book Palm Beach Fashion Secrets and More (Women and Fashion Inc., $20). Gabler’s guidance is especially helpful for fashionistas on the go, as she offers many tricks for savvy yet sartorial travel. (561-676-1168, womenandfashion.net)

Sartorial Superstitions
Transcendental emblems are in the cards this season. Christian Dior’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection channels its founder’s superstitious tendencies (namely Monsieur Dior’s fondness for tarot readings prior to each show) with motifs from the mystical card deck emblazoned across gowns and accessories. Displaying “The Lovers” illustration, the evening lambskin clutch with tarot card embroidery ($2,350) merges occult with opulence. Turn the page for more spring fashion themes.

Escape Grip of the Grape
Napa Valley’s Yountville intoxicates all five senses By Mary Murray
When it comes to wining and dining, Napa Valley reigns supreme. Famous for its Cabernet Sauvignons, the region possesses more than 500 wineries, a smorgasbord of renowned restaurants, and a landscape blooming with viticultural treasures. And it all started in Yountville. George Yount was the first person to plant grapes in Napa Valley in the mid-1800s. Today, the town of Yountville bears his name and a reputation as Napa’s culinary capital. Visitors to this 1.5-square-mile foodie mecca are encouraged to “taste life here.” But, in Yountville, no sense is left behind. Visually, Yountville is a quaint, small town dotted with vines and nestled between the Vaca Range and the Mayacamas Mountains. The streets bear charming sculptures, all part of a public art walk. Scamper through a “Rock Mushroom Garden,” sit next to the bronze

“Sidewalk Judge,” or take a selfie alongside “The Chef.” To get an aerial view, hop onto a hot air balloon with Napa Valley Aloft (nvaloft.com). Aesthetic wonders continue at Bardessono (bardessono.com). Located on the site of the Bardessono family’s former farmstead, this hotel was built using salvaged materials and comprises 62 suites across four “groves” named after indigenous trees. The halls boast contemporary art while the outdoor courtyards house calming water features and Zen-inducing foliage. The suites are a study in simplicity, but not at the expense of luxury. With a LEED Platinum Certification, Bardessono prioritizes posh green living, as seen in such sustainable design elements as rooftop solar panels and room-occupancy sensors that eliminate lighting when guests are out. Most importantly, each suite specializes in tempting the sense of touch. In addition to an on-site Spa Therapy Center, Bardessono also offers in-room spa experiences.

your treatment to set up a massage table, light candles, run a tub, and chill a bottle of Champagne in anticipation of your afterservice soak. We recommend the vinotherapy massage infused with Chardonnay grape seed oil. Overindulgence is de rigueur in Napa, so one treatment isn’t enough. Head down the street to the ultra-luxe Spa Villagio (villagio. com) and order an Ocean and Earth body wrap. After you emerge from your skinsoothing cocoon, take a bath under the pristine Napa sky on a private terrace. No matter where you roam, you’ll hear a chorus of corks and the hum of generous pours. Given its central location within Napa (which only measures 30 miles long and 5 miles across at its widest), Yountville is an ideal home base when visiting the region’s seemingly limitless vineyards. But you won’t go thirsty should you remain in Yountville proper. Washington Street, the town’s main thoroughfare, abounds with tasting rooms, where winemakers are eager to share the fruits of their labor.
REBECCA CHOTKOWSKI
The family-run Stewart Cellars (stewart cellars.com) works with some of Napa’s best vineyards to craft wines that emphasize the grapes’ prestigious beginnings. Stewart’s spectacular Chardonnays and red varietals, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon, are available in stores but are best enjoyed at the Yountville outpost, which opened in 2016. Three stone buildings make up the Stewart Cellars “village,” including the Gather Café and the Tasting Hall, where guests can sniff and savor vintages at the concrete-and-leather bar. For a more bespoke experience, reserve a tasting in the Nomad Heritage Library, decked with decor that recalls the family’s Scottish heritage and lined with books on topics ranging from the fashion of Tom Ford to the history of Houdini. Other enological standouts are Hope & Grace (hopeandgracewines.com), known for its Pinot Noirs, and Hill Family Estate (hill familyestate.com), maker of the super-tasty
Carly’s Cuvée Chardonnay. Handwritten Wines (handwrittenwines.com) produces a selection of Cabernet Sauvignons using grapes from various American Viticultural Areas—from Stags Leap District to Los Carneros, Coombsville to Calistoga—each with a distinct flavor profile. Beyond its personalized tastings, Handwritten also hosts private farmhouse dinners in the St. Helena hills. With your taste buds tantalized and olfactory system in overdrive, it’s now time to stroll along Yountville’s gourmet mile. Start with acclaimed chef Thomas Keller’s collection of restaurants (thomaskeller.com), anchored by The French Laundry, one of the most lauded eateries in the world. Keller diehards can also sample Ad Hoc, a casual ode to comfort food; the Michelin-starred Bouchon, which serves French bistro fare like rillettes aux deux saumons served in a jar; and Bouchon Bakery, a pistachio-colored patisserie.

Yountville also acts as a culinary playground for celebrity chef Michael Chiarello (michaelchiarello. com). At Bottega, Chiarello showcases his technical prowess and passion for strong Italian flavors in dishes like the decadent Raviolo di Uovo, one massive ravioli filled with an egg yolk, ricotta, and Swiss chard, topped with brown butter and sage. For something lighter, swing by the more laid-back Ottimo for Chiarallo’s take on charcuterie. Given the region’s bounty, Napa Valley restaurateurs tend to favor locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, a concept evident at Lucy Restaurant & Bar at
Bardessono. Its field-to-fork philosophy begins at the on-site garden that yields produce for Lucy’s modern yet earthy cuisine. For breakfast, opt for a beautifully simple spinach omelet stuffed with mushrooms and goat cheese. When supper rolls around, select more sophisticated fare, like a celery root bisque accented with fried brussels sprouts or scallops with petite kale, local citrus, and a prosciutto chip. The menu changes frequently in order to remain true to its farm-fresh principles, a quality Lucy Bardessono, the Bardessono family matriarch and restaurant namesake, surely would have appreciated.

Desert Rose
By Daphne Nikolopoulos Artists have long flocked to Santa Fe for its wide-open spaces and the suffused light brushing its deserts and mountains. This heritage, fostered by the likes of Georgia O’Keeffe and Gustave Baumann, has inspired the city’s modern revolution as a center for culture, inclusiveness, and creative boundary-pushing. For conscious travelers, visiting Santa Fe (santafe.org) can be a mind-expanding experience. The city embraces its First Nations in a big way, and members of Native American tribes are omnipresent, from the museums and galleries dedicated to indigenous arts to the dancers performing in the Spanish Colonial plazas to the pueblos scattered north of the city. Santa Fe’s only Native American–owned hotel, the Hotel Santa Fe (hotelsantafe. com), offers a big dose of regional hospitality with authentic adobe structures, traditional art and crafts, and private dinners in a teepee complete with hides and blankets. Book a room in the Hacienda, the hotel’s butler-served enclave with gorgeous fireplace suites and a dedicated lounge with a rooftop terrace overlooking Santa Fe and the ski mountains beyond. There’s plenty to see in the city, but it’s a good idea to begin with the Santa Fe Plaza in the historic district. This pedestrian-friendly area is home to the famous Indian Market, as well as the Spanish market every July and some of the city’s most visited sites, including the Palace of the Governors, the Cathedral Basilica of St.

Dining is an attraction of its own in Santa Fe. Don’t miss Sazón’s new Mexican cuisine (sazon santafe.com); the mole here is the best north of the border. The Anasazi Restaurant (rosewood hotels.com/en/inn-of-the-anasazi-santa-fe) is another must, as much for its faithful decor as for its innovative menu that respects native agriculture and local farming communities. For all its tradition, Santa Fe also has a hip vibe, nowhere more evident than at the interactive, multi-artist installation Meow Wolf (meowwolf. com). Visitors to this converted warehouse are transported to the surreal worlds of the House of Eternal Return as they seek clues to a mysterious story. It has to be seen to be believed. «

You’ve already rationalized blowing $77,195 more to upgrade from the visually identical S63 just to achieve V-12 power instead of V-8. That works out to a little more than $19,000 for each extra cylinder. Mercedes also asks $3,700 for a few pieces of carbon fiber and Black Piano lacquer trim that, in reality, looks like cheap plastic. If you’re admiring that Diamond White metallic paint work, take a deep breath, because it’ll cost you $800. That’s like spending $60,000 on a crocodile Hermès Birkin bag and another 200 bucks just to get it in brown. But I doubt it works that way. Chances are someone will stroll into a Mercedes-Benz showroom, see this temple of open-air exquisiteness on display, and immediately utter those three little words: I’ll take it. For those seeking the best of the best, having that shiny V-12 Biturbo badge on the front fenders and the tower-of-power 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 under the hood will be worth every penny.
This is a luxury grand tourer of the highest order: a convertibletopped carriage to waft you and three of your closest friends to a dinner date at Palm Beach Grill or some retail therapy along Worth Avenue. Want to gaze at the starry night sky? With the press of a button, that multilayered convertible top will burst open in 17 seconds, even at speeds up to 37 mph. Mercedes’ engineers have done a terrific job of turbulence control. With the top lowered, a small but highly effective mesh wind blocker appears between the rear headrests; it’s paired with a mesh foil (Mercedes calls it an Aircap) that ascends from the top of the windshield. Raise all four windows and they’ll reduce wind discomfort inside the cabin to a gentle zephyr—including at 80-plus mph. And at that speed, this V-12 powerhouse is only getting started. With a massive 621 horsepower and an insane 738 pounds per feet of torque driving the rear wheels, acceleration feels like an F-18 Super Hornet being catapulted from the deck of the USS Nimitz. If you’re turned on by such things, this AMG-crafted S65 can lunge from standstill to 60 mph in a mere four seconds. It won’t quit until the speedo needle is kissing the 190-mph mark. At 75 mph on I-95, it feels like it’s going backwards. But being that this is an AMG, there’s still a renegade element to its demeanor. Press the start button and the quartet of rear exhausts delivers a raucous, neighbor-waking squeal. Select the Sport setting for the sevenspeed AMG Speedshift transmission and this elegant Benz becomes as
vocal as a Nascar stock car. Despite measuring 198.6 inches nose-to-tail, the S65 drives more like a smaller Mercedes SL, thanks to its speed-sensitive steering, active dampening suspension, and I-beam-stiff body. Beyond performance, the S65’s cabin is truly a sight to behold. It’s impossible to pick a favorite feature, from the glove-soft nappa leather to the supportive front seats to the perforated follow howard walker’s the wheel world blog on palmbeachillustrated.com speakers for the Burmester 3D surround-sound stereo. The million-dollar question, however, is whether buyers will flock to the S65 Cabriolet over its archrival, the similarly priced Bentley Continental GT. While the Mercedes is the more modern, more technically advanced, more agile car, it lacks the Bentley’s bespoke appeal. That’s not to mention the visual distinction: The S65 just looks too much like a $131,400 S550 Cabriolet or a bloated $63,000 E-Class Cabriolet. But it does have that V-12 Biturbo badge—and that’s priceless. «

THE STARS OF THE PALM BEACH FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL LEAVE THEIR APRONS BEHIND TO RELAX AFTER A WEEKEND OF CULINARY REVELRY What do today’s food industry celebrities have in common with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr.? When viewed in the context of a new-age Rat Pack, a lot more than one might think. Like entertainers, restaurant professionals exist in a space where food, drinks, and good times flow until 2 a.m. Mischievousness is as endemic as culinary prowess. Accomplished chefs who possess the right personality—and drive—can rise in the ranks from foodie cult favorite to international stardom. The hustle, however, is very real. Cooks are rarely able to break out of the kitchen and blow off steam, with the exception of special occasions. One such excuse is the annual Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival. Having celebrated its tenth year in 2016, the festival has evolved into a four-day fête for fine food and libations, drawing top local talent, James Beard Award winners, and the biggest names in culinary television (including stars 54

from the Food Network, Bravo, and Travel Channel). Though the festival is a sprawling, high-energy affair, its intimate events ensure time for the who’s who to mingle with each other and their fans. For one long weekend, Palm Beach becomes their playground. Last December, following a series of small, chef-run gatherings, the shenanigans kicked off in decadent fashion at the Chef Welcome Party, a glamorous bash for 250 guests at The Breakers. More spectacles followed, like a street food extravaganza at the Four Seasons and an after-hours party at Clay Conley’s Imoto, complete with a sushi bar atop a nude model à la Samantha in Sex and The City. It all culminated in the Grand Tasting at The Gardens Mall and the weekend’s signature cooking competition where high-brow flavors meet democracy. A few of the players—Lindsay Autry, Clay Conley, Johnny Iuzzini, Tim Lipman, and Adam Richman—gathered the next day at The Colony Hotel for one last hurrah. Dressed to the nines, the group took over the Palm Beach institution with rascal-like antics that evoked the spirit of the Rat Pack, another group fond of drinking whiskey and keeping late hours. “I don’t know any other group of people—maybe professional athletes— that loves to party and break each other’s stones like culinary pros,” says Richman. “Then you add a layer with everyone [stepping out like] Dean, Sammy, and Frank ... If you’ve got a fragile ego, tread carefully.” Richman encompasses much more than his TV persona. He’s a jack of all trades who adores the food industry. As the host of Travel Channel’s Man v. Food, he went on the hunt for the country’s most tempting, and sometimes dangerous, food challenges. In his current endeavor, Secret Eats, he travels to the world’s most obscure places in search of delectable dishes. The cook, author, and TV personality marked his first visit to the festival in 2016, where he served as a judge at the Grand Tasting along with Johnny Iuzzini, Robert Irvine, and Marc Murphy. Asserting himself as the ham of the troupe, Richman (who also earned a master’s degree from the Yale School of Drama) held an impromptu cabaret in the Royal Room, dabbling on the piano, singing, cracking jokes, and busting out impressions. The spotlight finds him, easily. “Adam’s a sweetheart,” says Iuzzini, who became friends with Richman through their Brooklyn connection. “He’s a genuine guy who will take the time to talk to anyone who approaches him. He’ll have a conversation with them, not just thank them for watching his show but ask where they’re from and what they ate today. Adam has the ability to make people feel special because he’s attentive. That’s a quality more people should strive to have.” Iuzzini, a famed pastry chef who served as head judge for Top Chef: Just Desserts and most recently as a judge on ABC’s The Great American Baking Show, is definitely the Sinatra of the bunch. He owns more than one metallic dinner jacket and, for the PBFWF weekend, brought countless wardrobe

changes, upward of 15 fedoras, and significantly more luggage than his girlfriend. “Johnny is a chain-wallet away from being in the movie Swingers,” Richman jokes. “I think we all appreciate the old school style, though. You didn’t see too many pictures of Frank and Dean wearing Yeezys and drop-crotch sweatpants with a hoodie. It was ties, well-fit suits, and a degree of panache.” Iuzzini’s sweet tooth for retro fashion sets him apart, but so does his résumé. He’s a James Beard Award winner and the former executive pastry chef at Daniel (chef Daniel Boulud’s Manhattan restaurant) and Jean-Georges, which was awarded three Michelin stars during his tenure. He’s also authored two cookbooks and is working on his own line of chocolate. Despite the friendly quips fired between him and Richman, the two can agree on one thing: They’re both fans of this festival. “I had such great culinary conversations with chefs I’d just met,” says Richman. “The coolest thing is

that festivals—when they’re done well—aren’t ego-driven lovefests; they’re about the gathering of community, minds, and talent.” Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival organizer David Sabin has worked tirelessly to establish that sense of camaraderie through the event, making it a place for the greats—on every level—to party. The balance of work and play in the lineup is conducive to collaboration and friendship. It also showcases the county’s food scene, which has drastically evolved in recent years. Many consider Clay Conley, a James Beard Award nominee many times over, the frontiersman of the Palm Beach dining sphere, having paved the path for other chefs to introduce their concepts. He left Miami for the island and opened Buccan in 2011. Widely regarded as the Friday night “it” spot,
PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
Buccan’s innovative, worldly cuisine and relaxed atmosphere have inspired more area restaurants to depart from fine dining and white tablecloths. “Restaurants are more fun [now] than when I first moved here,” says Conley. “A lot of casual places have opened up with real quality food.” His three additional ventures, Imoto, Grato, and The Sandwich Shop at Buccan, share that philosophy, too. “He’s a phenomenal chef,” says Lindsay Autry. “He really left a mark with what he did [in Palm Beach], and opened up the idea that we could do something different here. He kickstarted a lot of energy for other people who wanted to branch out on their own. By him growing his brand here, he set the standards. He’s a huge part of the community.” Tim Lipman, who shares a bit of a “bromance” with Conley,

“WE ALL COME FROM DIFFERENT WORLDS, AS FAR AS OUR TRAINING AND OUR APPROACH TO FOOD AND CREATING. THAT’S WHAT MAKES US SO GREAT.” —JOHNNY IUZZINI has opened similiar doors for the North County. He departed his executive chef position at Little Moir’s Leftovers in Jupiter to launch Coolinary Café in Palm Beach Gardens in 2012, and his brand of imaginative fare (think coffee-rubbed prime flap steak and rabbit sausage served with noodles) has garnered a strong following. Earlier this year, Lipman and his wife, Jenny, expanded their offerings to include a wine and beer bar called The Parched Pig. “He’s such a passionate person,” says Autry. “He has this little restaurant that has a line out the door six nights a week. I think that everybody just wants him to knock down the walls and make it bigger so that [more people] can come every day. I’m proud of him.” Autry, the Judy Garland or Marilyn Monroe to this Rat Pack, is the latest local chef with star power to step out on her own. For the past eight years, she’s been a mainstay of the county’s culinary community and the Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival, where she met Sabin. The two were married last year. The Top Chef season nine finalist has much to celebrate thanks to her new restaurant, The Regional, which she opened with restaurateur Thierry Beaud in 2016. Though she possesses a sweet disposition, served up with a Southern accent and a smile, Autry’s not to be underestimated. “Lindsay plays the game like ‘I don’t know how to be a lady,’” says Iuzzini. “She speaks so eloquently, and she’s such an intelligent, talented woman. I’m so happy to see her—a fellow Top Chef alumnus—come into her own and have her voice portrayed on the plate the way that it is [at The Regional]. I was blown away dish after dish: Her fried chicken, that killer tomato tart ... There are like 10 things that are unreal.” Does all this talent, good food, and ambition lead
to stiff competition amongst the chefs? Hardly. Between sips at The Colony’s Polo steak house bar and lounging at the Carleton Varney–designed lobby, the tribe chummed it up, chatting about the weekend’s highlights and making plans to visit each other’s restaurants—when they get another breather, that is. “We need that type of competitive drive here,” says Lipman. “The more competitive restaurants we have, the more quality food and great experiences we can build on, it’s just going to continue to bring more people here and benefit everybody.” “We know how hard it is to open a restaurant, so we kind of feel sorry for each other,” Autry jokes. “But we also support each other. It’s cool to see all of us out of our chef gear, hanging out like regular people. Like regular, fancy people.” Lipman agrees: “Even though we may be directly competing with each other, we love each other so much. We eat at each other’s restaurants all the time.” When the guys appeared in bathrobes (or dressing gowns, as in Richman’s silk skull-and-crossbones number) and sunglasses, it was game over. The drinks and laughs drifted over to the pool area so the chefs could grab some sun, casting a quintessential Palm Beach scene indicative of the timeless nature of good food and even better company. “There’s a lot of respect,” says Iuzzini. “We all come from different worlds, as far as our training and approach to food and creating. Some of us are in restaurants, some of us are on TV, and some of us are in both. I think we all find a way to come together for a cause or for an event, and we are who we are—that’s what makes us so great. We all bring something different to the table.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | APRIL 2017

Don’t be surprised if you spot heads of state dining at Aaron’s Table. Aaron Fuller, former executive chef at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club, opened his eponymous Jupiter resto at the shuttered location of Rooney’s Public House in Abacoa Town Center. The farm-chic watering hole boasts an expansive pewter bar, leather seating, chalkboards, botanical wall fixtures, and a private chef’s table. Chef de cuisine Merrick Beatty complements the setting with rustic dishes, including a port-poached pear salad with candied pecans and Florida goat cheese, lamb shank braised for up to four hours in an IPA by Civil Society Brewing Co., and heavenly dessert jars inspired by Fuller’s mother. On Thursdays, locals congregate for wine tastings and sommelier-led discussions about subjects like vitrification. (561-8552628, aaronstable.com)

In Spanish, costa means “coast,” and nothing could describe this new eatery more accurately. At Costa Palm Beach, located in Worth Avenue’s Esplanade, owners Sascha and Danielle Bennemann are dishing out coastal Mediterranean cuisine. Within the Aegean-inspired white and sky-blue environs, guests linger over curated cocktails and graze on charred octopus and other delicacies from the sea. Executive chef David Valencia, who previously worked at both The Modern and Adour Alain Ducasse in Manhattan, made his name in the South Florida dining scene when he opened Miami’s Catch with Top Chef alum Hung Huynh. At Costa, Valencia crafts seafood-centric entrees, like salt-baked branzino with arugula emulsion, grilled lemon, and an olive-caper-tomato relish. (561-429-8456, costapb.com)

Architectural details like exposed beams, oversized windows, hand-carved rococo chandeliers, and Carrara marble bars, create an elegant backdrop to executive chef Jimmy Strine’s hand-formed pastas and more interpretive offerings, like orecchiette with duck cacciatore. Grato has also introduced a full day of happy hour specials for the on-tap beer and wine selection. Grab a seat early at the pizza bar and you may spot James Beard Award– nominated chef Conley flipping your pie. (561-404-1334, gratowpb.com)

Sam Sanchez, a restaurant veteran from Chicago, transformed a 13,000-square-foot, circa-1921 building into an upscale taqueria with vibrant murals and Latin-themed street art. Executive chef Manuel Briseño channels Mexico’s northern cowboy region of Nuevo Leon with plenty of skirt steak and hanging skewers of mesquite-grilled shrimp and chicken. The bar serves more than 30 tequilas and signature drinks like the Holy Water, rimmed with black-lava sea salt.

Interiors exude an elegant, countryhome atmosphere, with dark-wood flooring, barrel light fixtures, and a 4,000-bottle wine room. The cuisine is comforting and approachable. Dishes like tomato pie, seafood stew, and coconut cake play to Autry’s Mediterranean roots and her North Carolina upbringing. Sunday brunch on the sun-dappled patio is a must.

When Louie Bossi made a massive splash in Fort Lauderdale, Todd Herbst of Big Time Restaurant Group knew he had a hit on his hands. Last month, Herbst and his partners welcomed a second location in Boca Raton and have a Delray osteria planned for next year. Drawing inspiration from midcentury modern design, the 8,000-square-foot ristorante features antique copper tables, vintage lighting, and a massive oak-carved fireplace similar to ones Herbst saw during an Italian wine trip. Chef Bossi’s large preparations (think charcuterie platters loaded with house-cured salumis and 12 styles of made-fromscratch pastas) shine in this bigger-is-better setting. Custom neo-Neapolitan pizzas, like the meat-lover’s quattro carne pizza, are baked in a 900-degree, wood-burning oven for 90 seconds.

Jimmy Mills won’t fence in his food. His menu at Fries to Caviar in Boca Raton has no fixed theme and is suffused with what he calls “borderless flavors.” A childhood growing up on his family’s farm in Wallback, West Virginia fostered an appreciation for sustainability and seasonal provisions. He developed a talent for exquisite yet simple food by working for David Ruggerio of Le Chantilly and Charlie Palmer of Aureole, and also spending two years in Paris learning the art of French cooking. These experiences have led to an endless stream of gastronomic delights, from braised rabbit with bacon and fennel on buttered noodles to the namesake french fries with salmon caviar. Fries to Caviar also offers a feast for the eyes with custom ash-wood furnishings (built by Mills), a 20-seat bar, and a coral-stone patio with native flora, palms, and bamboo.

When does the hedonistic consumption of a cocktail become transcendent? While the company we keep may influence our enjoyment, it’s often a combination of setting, service, and technique that elevates a bar or lounge to favorite status.

As the culinary centerpiece of The Brazilian Court Hotel, Café Boulud, Daniel Boulud’s Palm Beach outpost, serves modern French cuisine accompanied by a stellar wine list and an innovative bar program. To celebrate 10 years in Palm Beach, the restaurant gave itself a facelift, building a 15-seat horseshoe bar and relocating it from the lounge to the main dining area. “Moving the bar injected new energy into the dining room,” says general manager Jason Lakow. “With our cocktail list, we try to coax our customers out of their comfort zone by giving them a lighthearted take on the classics.” Like Café Boulud’s menu, the cocktails change seasonally, sometimes as often as every three weeks. “We have many repeat customers,” says Lakow. “We constantly try to offer them something fresh and different.” (561-655-6060, cafeboulud.com)

With an encyclopedic spirits selection and refined drink choices, Sweetwater Bar & Grill in Boynton Beach is on par with the top craft cocktail bars in the nation. Its recent addition, Saxon, is a “bar within a bar” that welcomes guests into a themed, retro environment reminiscent of Europe’s great lounges. These references are by design, as partners Sean Iglehart and Clint Reed researched and traveled extensively before opening Sweetwater. The turning point for Iglehart came when he walked into Death & Co. in Manhattan’s East Village. “It was a glimpse into the cocktail revolution,” he says. “I was a more traditional bartender at the time, but I realized there was a hole in the South Florida market that needed to be filled.” Sweetwater’s formidable spirits book lists 1,000 varieties, roughly two-thirds of the total inventory. The list is revised quarterly, with new products added as they arrive. “It can be a little overwhelming for guests,” admits Iglehart, who works the floor in the capacity of a spirits sommelier.

A farm-to-table restaurant owned by iPic Theaters, Boca Raton’s Tanzy recreates the cooking of Italy’s Amalfi Coast in a verdant setting. “We focus on fresh, seasonal cocktails with all the herbs grown in our own garden on the premises,” says Adam Seger, iPic’s corporate mixologist. “We also buy produce from Jason McCobb of Farmer Jay’s Pure Organics.” Tanzy spices things up by offering pitchers of mojitos, as well as an assortment of nitrogen drinks. “Freezing a spirit gives you a different mouth feel, similar to the difference between ice cream and gelato,” says Seger. All draft beers are local, and Boca’s Barrel of Monks produces an exclusive blond Belgian ale for the restaurant. (561-922-6699, tanzyrestaurant.com)

Nestled on the top floor of Boston’s on the Beach in Delray, 50 Ocean fronts on A1A, with floorto-ceiling windows that frame views of the beach and surf. “We were trying to create a restaurant that matched the view,” explains general manager Mark DeAtley. “Our goal was to produce an atmosphere that was relaxed and casual in an elegant way.” The bar—made from hand-cut geodes and housing a live aquarium—is as impressive as the ocean vista. The lounge doesn’t disappoint, either, decked with original photographs of Ernest Hemingway purchased at an auction in Key West. One decor feature—two aeroponic growing towers near the entrance—actually enhances 50 Ocean’s cocktail selection. Each is capable of holding 36 plants and can grow mint, basil, strawberries, and other produce to incorporate into tipples. (561-278-3364, 50ocean.com) 82

WITH A TWIST Connecticut-based Max Restaurant Group opened The Cooper in Palm Beach Gardens two years ago. This self-described craft kitchen and bar relies on local distillers, brewers, and farmers for the ingredients to make its imaginative cocktails. “Bartending is both an art and a craft,” says beverage director Brian Mitchell. “When we invent cocktails it’s important to understand the history of the drink to appreciate the new variation we’ve created.” Even standards are done differently at The Cooper, which is one of only a handful of establishments in the area to serve barrel-aged cocktails. Classic drinks, such as the Manhattan and Negroni, are aged in small American white-oak barrels, with a high ratio of oak to liquid. The cocktails are constantly refreshed as they’re drawn off, creating a distinct mellowness and smoothness. (561-622-0032, thecooperrestaurant.com)

BY MARK SPIVAK When it happens, it’s magical: You take a bite of a dish, follow it with a sip of wine, and the entire universe falls into harmony. The aromas and nuance in the wine amplify the flavors in the food, resulting in a sensory experience greater than the sum of its parts. For most of us, that moment likely occurs in a restaurant, usually after taking a sommelier’s winepairing suggestion. But how do we duplicate that euphoria at home? To find out, we asked wine professionals from five of Palm Beach County’s top restaurants to share their personal recommendations for real-life situations. The results are revealing—and intoxicating. 84 PALM NAPLES BEACH ILLUSTRATED ILLUSTRATED

Champagne such as Gaston Chiquet has enough body to carry into a seafood course. For a meat entree, I’d recommend a bottle that over delivers, such as the Rioja Gran Reserva from Muga.” BEST VALUE: “For California, get out of Napa and investigate regions such as Lake County, where Steele does a reliable job. Some of the best values in reds are cru Beaujolais. You can buy the Georges Duboeuf crus, such as Morgon or Brouilly, for under $20, and it’s hard to tell them apart from entrylevel Burgundy.” EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES: “The World Atlas of Wine (Mitchell Beazley, $60) by Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson is an indispensable tool for learning where wine comes from. Whether or not you’re a professional, the Guild of Sommeliers website (guildsomm.com) has some great podcasts and other materials.” C.THIEUX
BACKGROUND: Phillips’ career in hospitality fostered a focus on wine. He holds the Advanced Sommelier certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers and will be sitting for the Master Sommelier exam this year. He’s also a Certified Wine Educator from the Society of Wine Educators. He brings a lifetime of passion to his job overseeing the wine program at The Capital Grille. SPRING/SUMMER SIPS: “Rosé is a no-brainer for hot weather. I like the classic, mineral-driven style of Château Minuty from Côtes de Provence. For something a little more unusual, try a light red from Weingut Prieler in Austria. They have lovely fruit [notes] and drink well when slightly chilled.” TO ENJOY WHILE GRILLING: “Believe it or not, I love an off-dry Riesling with grilled meat, especially brisket. Go for a solid producer such as J.J. Prüm or Selbach-Oster. Lambrusco is going through a revival right now; it’s refreshing, easy to drink, and affordable. Try the Reggiano Concerto from Medici Ermete.” FOR FORMAL DINNERS: “Greeting your guests with a spectacular bottle of Champagne is a great way to signal that the evening will be special.

She was recognized as the Best Sommelier in the United States by the American Sommelier Association and has been nominated for a James Beard Award. In 2011, she opened the Virginia Philip Wine Shop & Academy in downtown West Palm Beach. SPRING/SUMMER SIPS: “I like Solosole, a Vermentino from Italy’s Bolgheri region produced by the Allegrini family. It’s bright and crisp with juicy lemon flavors, and the absence of oak makes it more refreshing. For something a little off the beaten track, try the Picpoul de Pinet from Hugues Beaulieu in France’s Languedoc region. It’s clean, mineralinfused, and complex.” COURTESY OF CHATEAU D’ESCLANS DOMAINES SACHA LICHINE

TO ENJOY WHILE GRILLING: “I’m a fan of Bonny Doon Grenache from California, or the Grenache from Betts & Scholl in Australia. These wines are fruit-forward but they have enough herbal notes and tannins to match up to grilled meat.” FOR FORMAL DINNERS: “I’d start with a grower Champagne such as Paul-Etienne Saint Germain. It’s yeasty, biscuity, and mouthwatering. After that, open a good Bordeaux or Burgundy for a meat entree.” BEST VALUE: “Spanish reds have the best price-to-quality ratio. It’s an unfamiliar category for many people, so these wines have a lot to prove. I’d opt for a Rioja from a good producer.” WHAT I DRINK AT HOME: “In my fridge, you’re likely to find a dry Rosé such as Whispering Angel [by Chateau d’Esclans] from Provence, along with white Rioja, Riesling, and white Burgundy. For reds, everything under the sun.” BUYING TIPS: “First, figure out what you like and what you don’t. Identify the characteristics that stand out most for you. Then, have a budget in mind so you don’t overspend. Most importantly, if you find a wine you really enjoy, take a picture of the label.”

white Burgundy from Ramonet or Neillon. For the main course, select a firm, structured Barbaresco in the traditional style such as Marquis de Grésy.” BEST VALUE: “Pinot Noir from Oregon producers like Cristom are comparable to red Burgundy at a much cheaper price. I’d also recommend Frog’s Leap Merlot from Napa. For a white, the Sancerre from ThomasLabaille is crisp and mineral-edged.” EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES: “The classic book for beginners is Windows On the World Complete Wine Course (Sterling Epicure, $28) by Kevin Zraly. Another clear and simple resource is winefolly.com, also available in book form.”

He arrived in Palm Beach in December 2015 to head the wine program at Café Boulud. POOLSIDE WINES: “I’m a big fan of Muscadet from the Loire Valley, especially producers such as Domaine de l’Ecu. These wines are dry and refreshing, with a strong mineral character. I also like Albariño from the north of Spain for something pleasant and easy to drink.” TO ENJOY WHILE GRILLING: “For something truly special, try a red Zinfandel from the Monte Rosso Vineyard in Sonoma, made from 100-year-old vines. Syrah from the Northern Rhône is also a good choice, particularly Crozes-Hermitage from Alain Graillo, which is well-balanced, intense, and complex.” FOR FORMAL DINNERS: “Begin with Champagne from a grower-winemaker such as Egly-Ouriet or De Sousa.

CUT 432, DELRAY BEACH BACKGROUND: Albe learned about wine on the job. He met his current partners while tending bar at Pranzo in Boca Raton, and they now operate three restaurants in Delray. “I had a customer who was always talking to me about wine and bringing bottles in,” he says. “One day, when I was tasting a Syrah from the North Coast, everything finally clicked. It was my aha moment, and I was hooked.” At Cut 432, he manages 350 selections. Given the steak house format, the wine options are heavy on full-bodied reds, but the list is also remarkably balanced, with Old World regions, such as Burgundy and Italy, well represented. SPRING/SUMMER SIPS: “I love Cava from Spain; it’s made in the Champagne method, but [tastes] very different. Naveran, from Penedès, is one of my favorite producers. The wines have a creamy, yeasty texture and are great values.” TO ENJOY WHILE GRILLING: “For a light pork dish, I’d go with a Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast. I visited Peay Vineyards last year and liked their style, which is well-balanced and elegant, with lots of red fruit and moderate alcohol. With a steak, I’d reach for Bedrock 88

Zinfandel. They make a Heritage Red Blend from 120-year-old vines that’s truly amazing.” FOR FORMAL DINNERS: “With a seafood starter, I’d drink a Sancerre from Lucien Crochet. It has nice grass and mineral notes and is much more appealing than a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. To pair with a meat entree, go for a small-production Napa Cabernet such as Jax Vineyards in Calistoga. It has lots of black fruit and isn’t overly oaked or tannic.” BEST VALUE: “There are some great Rhônestyle blends coming from Paso Robles, and you don’t have to spend a lot of money on them. Justin Vineyards & Winery was one of the pioneers and remains the gold standard, but there also are more affordable wines that are very good, such as Peachy Canyon, Niner, and Daou.” EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES: “For unbiased information, I like James Suckling’s blog (jamessuckling.com). There’s also a website called Punch (punchdrink.com) that features articles by Jon Bonné, who writes for the San Francisco Chronicle. He focuses on obscure wines and lesser-known grape varieties.”

BACKGROUND: Arenas joined Truluck’s several years ago after a 14-year stint at Morton’s Steakhouse. He’s currently studying to take the Court of Master Sommeliers Level 1 exam next year. SPRING/SUMMER SIPS: “A high-quality Pinot Grigio, such as Jermann, is crisp enough for casual drinking but also has enough structure to pair with food. I’m also a fan of the Clos Pegase Rosé from Napa. It’s dry, easy to drink, and has very good acidity.” TO ENJOY WHILE GRILLING: “Malbec is a great wine for a hot day, much easier to drink than Cabernet. There are many from Argentina, but the Bodega Septima Gran Reserva is a standout. The Hess Collection, grown on California’s Mount Veeder, is also making a rich and smooth Malbec in the Salta region.” FOR FORMAL DINNERS: “I think any meal should start with bubbles; it’s a great way to open the palate. I like the Bollinger Special Cuvée, an entry-level Brut, [because] if it was good enough for James Bond, then it works for me. For oysters or a fish course, try a fullbodied white from the Loire Valley such as Le Rocher des Violettes by Xavier Weisskopf.” BEST VALUE: “If you’re a fan of Pinot Noir, try the Ponzi Tavola from Oregon’s Willamette Valley. It has jammy, forward fruit balanced by supple tannins and is a pleasure to drink.” EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES: “If you’re just getting started, don’t be ashamed to pick up a copy of Wine for Dummies. It’s packed with practical, hands-on information.” «

In 1974, famed French chef Georges Pralus pioneered a revolutionary cooking technique known as sous vide. Translated to “under vacuum,” the sous vide process involves hermetically sealing food in plastic, then heating it in water until it reaches an ideal doneness. Afterward, the product can be chilled for later use or seared if being consumed immediately. Initially lambasted by the culinary community who feared it would make food microbiologically unsafe, sous vide is now practiced in top kitchens around Palm Beach County, including at Max’s Harvest in Delray Beach. To create his tender grilled wild octopus, chef Eric Baker first cooks it sous vide for five hours at 71 degrees Celsius. He serves it with fresh Florida tangerines and pickled green strawberries from Swank Farms on a bed of dirty wild rice made with chicken livers, green bell peppers, celery, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.

RAP STAR Any former New Yorker will tell you the hardest part of transitioning to life in Florida is finding a good Jewish deli. Local veteran restaurateur Burt Rapoport is filling the void with Rappy’s, which opened in December at the new Park Place Plaza in Boca Raton. Described as an “old school restaurant for the modern world,” Rappy’s is Rapoport’s homage to his father, Ray “Rappy” Rapoport, who operated a kosher dairy restaurant in Manhattan for nearly 50 years. The interior is sleek and the menu’s straight out of the Lower East Side. Highlights include a first-rate chicken noodle soup perfumed with fresh thyme and garnished with a fluffy matzo ball. The Nova Scotia salmon is silky, and there’s a better-than-average rendition of herring in sour cream and onions. The pastrami and corned beef are house-cured and the salami is flown in from Katz’s Deli in New York. The menu also contains traditional dishes rarely found elsewhere, such as kasha varnishkes made with bowtie pasta and buckwheat groats. For a final nosh, opt for the brisket and cream spinach knish, worth every extra calorie. In place of the Big Apple’s crusty deli waiters, this delicatessen employs a gracious, knowledgeable team that treats each guest like a member of the family. There’s also a covered, alfresco dining area, a large bar with an old-fashioned soda fountain, and a cavalcade of fresh food to go. (561-314-6840, rappysrestaurant.com) —M.S.
At Rappy’s, enjoy a glass of wine or savor dishes like challah French toast, Bubby’s Chicken in a Pot, and the Florida salad.

A mainstay of the region, Aia Vecchia produces the alluring and affordable Lagone.
The Road to Bolgheri Tucked away in coastal Tuscany, the Bolgheri region specializes in grand Super Tuscans BY MARK SPIVAK
In the beginning, there was Sassicaia. Legend has it Mario Incisa della Rocchetta planted Cabernet vines in Bolgheri during World War II to compensate for the shortage of Bordeaux. Sassicaia remained his personal wine for many years, until his son, Nicolò, and nephew, Piero Antinori, convinced him to release the 1968 vintage to the public in 1971. A few years later, Sassicaia beat a field of top-ranked Bordeaux bottles in a blind tasting, and the Super Tuscan gold rush was on. Initially, Super Tuscans, wines made from foreign grape varieties not permitted by Italian wine law, had to be labeled as Vino da Tavola, or table wine, the lowest rung in the classification. As years passed, it became obvious the Cabernet and Merlot of Bordeaux thrived in Italy and were most successful in the coastal Tuscan region of Bolgheri. The Rocchetta family continued to experiment in Bolgheri. Piero’s brother, Lodovico, planted vines near Sassicaia in 1981, and in 1985 unveiled a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc called Ornellaia. The wine struggled for recognition at first, but eventually came to rival Sassicaia in reputation and price (the 2013 vintages of both wines sell in the range of $175). Both display the power and 102 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
elegance characteristic of all great Cabernet Sauvignon, and it’s now common to find the two labels side by side with First Growth Bordeaux in the cellars of many collectors. As the Bolgheri region expanded, there was an influx of winemaking talent and capital, and the offerings became more democratic. Piero Antinori led the way, establishing the Guado al Tasso estate in an amphitheater-shaped site nicknamed “the bowl of Bolgheri.” While the flagship wine—a blend of Cabernet, Merlot, and Syrah—sells for $90, there are also some delicious affordable options. The Vermentino ($20) is a clean, fresh white wine with good acidity, ripe citrus flavors, and a firm mineral backbone. Il Bruciato ($25), Guado al Tasso’s entrylevel red, has enough structure to stand up to game dishes and red meats, with supple tannins that make it a pleasure to drink.
COURTESY OF THE ANTINORI FAMILY
Angelo Gaja, a name associated for generations with Barbaresco, also couldn’t resist the region’s allure. In 1996, he bought the Ca’ Marcanda estate in Bolgheri and continued the experiments with Bordeaux varietals he had begun years before in Piemonte. Despite Gaja’s reputation and the lofty price of Ca’ Marcanda’s namesake wine, the property does offer two bargains: Magari, a Cabernet/Merlot blend ($52), and a combination of Merlot and Syrah called Promis ($40). There are nearly 40 wine producers in Bolgheri today, and many are turning out exceptional bottles for everyday drinking. A good example is Aia Vecchia, owned by the Pellegrini family, who have grown grapes in the region for several generations. Their entry-level wine, the Merlot-dominated Lagone ($16), entices with scents of dark berries, fresh herbs, anise, and mocha. It’s ripe, generous, and focused on the palate; earth notes frame the lush berry fruit and soft tannins carry the flavors onto the finish. Sor Ugo ($35)—a blend of 50 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 percent Merlot, 15 percent Cabernet Franc, and 5 percent Petit Verdot—is even better. The wine is beautifully balanced and a pleasure to drink, with hints of spiced plum, blackberry, and mint that intertwine on the palate. It’s a good way to experience the uniqueness of Bolgheri at a bargain price. «

BRIAN CHAMIS, OWNER OF JUPITER SPECIALTY WINE SHOP THE VINE POST AND SOMMELIER AT CAFÉ CHARDONNAY IN PALM BEACH GARDENS, SHARES INSIGHT INTO WINE STORAGE
Chamis notes that, in general, reds can age longer than whites, with a few exceptions, including Rieslings and dessert wines.
PBI: What must one consider when storing wine? Chamis: For storing wines with the intention of saving, the wine must be in a dark, temperature-controlled environment. It should be around 55 degrees and 70 percent humidity. If you don’t have a wine cellar or wine refrigerator, then store your bottles in a cool, dark room—and drink them. In terms of storage time, what considerations should be given to wine preferences and the composition of one’s collection? In general, red wines can age a little longer than whites. However, that’s not always the case. White Burgundy, Riesling, and dessert wines can age for a very long time. If you’re looking to buy wines for collection, focus on highquality reds from prestigious areas around the world, like Bordeaux, Napa Valley, and Tuscany, to name a few. There are a lot of publications to subscribe to, like Wine Spectator and The Wine Advocate, that will provide information on what wines to purchase, as well as an idea as to how long they’ll be good for. I would focus on wine styles that you like, but also ask your local wine retailer for some suggestions on wines you haven’t tried. What factors go into deciding between a wine cellar and a wine refrigerator? A wine cellar takes a lot more effort and planning than a wine refrigerator. If you build a wine cellar, you’ll have to find a location
in your house. Then comes framing, drywall, insulation, a cooling unit, an insulated door, racking, etc. There are all kinds of wine-cooling units that can be used in many different ways. They can be oak-framed and the showpiece of your dining room or solid-door, no-frills units that can be put in a closet or garage. How much space and what conditions are needed to create a successful wine cellar? It depends on how serious of a collector you want to be. Some of my customers have 50-bottle wine refrigerators that we stock on a monthly basis, but we try to introduce them to things they might not be too familiar with, along with some of their favorites. On the other hand, I have customers who have 2,500 bottles in their collections. These cellars need a lot more attention. You must ensure your wines are consumed when they’re still drinking nicely. It can be a pretty big investment, so you don’t want to waste any because you waited too long to drink them. If someone does opt for a wine refrigerator, what should he or she be looking for? There are many wine refrigerators to choose from. My favorite is the EuroCave (eurocave. com). It’s a cold wall unit so the cellar is the same temperature throughout the whole unit, not cold on top where the cooling unit is and warmer as it gets closer to the bottom. It also has adjustable rolling shelves, so you can move them to fit your magnum and three liters. What is your favorite wine accessory? My favorite is the Coravin (coravin.com), which can be used to remove wine from a bottle without opening it. It has a needle that goes
106 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
through the cork using argon gas to push wines through the needle and into your glass. The cool thing about the Coravin is that you can have a glass of wine, put the bottle back in your cellar, and it doesn’t oxidize because the wine was never opened. This means no more wasting wine because you couldn’t finish the bottle. We use it a lot at the restaurant because we can offer wines that normally wouldn’t be offered by the glass. Usually, if we open a bottle of wine, we’re on the clock and only have a day or two to sell it before it goes bad. What tips can you offer when it comes to keeping track of a home wine collection and personal tasting notes? I use Cellar Tracker (cellartracker.com). You enter your wine, quantity of bottles, and value, and can also make [tasting] notes so you’ll have that information for the next time. Also, you can see everyone else’s notes to give you more opinions on the wine. «

COOL AND COLLECTED Jackie Armour of JMA Interior Design took inspiration from the shellencrusted mantel when decorating the living room in this Tequesta home. “I fell in love with the fireplace immediately and knew I wanted to create a soft backdrop in which it could be the focal point of the room,” Armour says. “The builder had set all the shells by hand in pale cream concrete to evoke the effect of water washing over the shore, so it has this very soft, organic, textural feeling. The deep tone of the wood flooring is the ideal contrast to bring attention to the fireplace. Soft shades of sand, cream, and pale celadon and driftwood help to evoke a serene atmosphere and make it a great space to relax in.” Jupiter (561743-9668, jma-ids.com)

The Million-Dollar Rolodex
Don’t Call it a Comeback “It’s been working for years.”
Luxury Real Estate International Symposium – Valencia, Spain
Over the last thirty years, Thomson’s Rolodex, or its equivalent, is thought to have powered more sales in the millionplus range of real estate than any other single agent in the local area. Rob Thomson with Barbara Corcoran in Nashville, Tennessee

True. The Internet is one of modern real estate’s single greatest tools, bringing sellers and buyers together in unprecedented ways. Waterfront Properties and Club Communities should know. The company invests well over one million dollars each year underwriting its dedicated Internet marketing team. Record sales volume over nearly 30 years has only increased over the last decade, due in large part to the Internet. Still, another tool has equal and often greater potential. The personal Rolodex continues to fuel large numbers of transactions. “The Rolodex is a metaphor. My contacts don’t sit in a card file. They’re in my iPhone, backed up to a network.The power of these contacts is extremely valuable to sellers and buyers alike,” commented Rob Thomson, Waterfront Properties’ managing partner.
The million-plus market Over the last 30 years, Thomson’s “Rolodex” is thought to have powered more sales in the million-plus range of real estate than any other single agent in the local area. “It’s not a case of dialing for deals,” Thomson says. “These are friends and associates. We do life together.” Nearly a Florida native, Thomson was brought to Florida when he was three-months old, his diverse mix of friends includes relationships that go back more than four decades. “Our community is tightknit. Add the common denominators of the waterfront and luxury lifestyles and it can be a hard space to break into.” But Thomson and his team at Waterfront Properties have been here for years.
The world is still flat If you’re thinking Thomson’s “Rolodex” is just a group of local boys made good, you’re wrong. As a leading international broker, for decades Thomson has capitalized on a worldwide network of top international brokers. Florida is the most desirable state in the country for international buyers. “Our local area is one of the state’s most desirable.” A two-decade member and holder of the Top Referring Luxury Broker distinction from Luxury Real Estate International (LRE),Thomson leverages the group’s singular reach to the benefit of local sellers. LRE is comprised of 130,000 luxury real estate brokers, representing 85 countries and combined annual sales in excess of $190 billion. “Reach equals sales. The more qualified eyes we bring to a property, the better the chances our seller makes the sale at the right price.”
No man is an island
“Circle of influence deals are
Waterfront Properties doesn’t rely on Thomson’s network alone. The entire team follows the same philosophy. “It’s not hard to get agents on board in cultivating and managing their network in much the same way I do. To some extent, we all learned from Joan.” Joan is Thomson’s mother, who at 84 still comes to work every day and was the original architect of what has become widely known as the Waterfront Way. Rob continued, “Agents see fellow agents’ success and they recognize that what we are teaching and doing works.”
done every day. The more
exclusive the real estate the greater the chance the deal gets done through relationships.”
Back to the future
The PBS effect The real estate market has a virtual public broadcast system that is impossible to manufacture. “People know when someone is looking to buy. They know where. They also know what I do for a living,” Thomson says. “The Internet side of our business and the personal network side are very different.” Everyone knows, “money can’t buy friends.” But lots of money and time can buy the framework of a substantial Internet marketing function. On the other hand, it’s hard to over value an authentic sphere of influence. A network nearly 50 years in the making would take at least that much time to replicate.
Firm believers in training and process, Waterfront Properties is steadfast in its stance on agent freedom. That freedom is a byproduct of Waterfront’s award winning Internet marketing team. “Our Internet presence means our agents don’t spend time hunting leads. With tens of thousands of visitors to multiple Waterfront websites, there’s no shortage of business to be done.” Agents are free to concentrate on fundamentally quality relationships. Thomson said, “Quality business relationships often turn into quality friendships. That’s the big idea. People share information with people they know and like. Friends help friends and friends of friends. And, people like to do business with individuals with whom they feel a kinship.”
“Circle of influence deals are done every day,” Thomson says. “The more exclusive the real estate, the greater the chance the deal gets done through relationships.”
To some, Rolodexes and relationships can sound like antiquated technologies. Rob Thomson sees it differently. “Success is never out of season.”

The newly opened gym in Boca Raton is the first of its kind, focusing exclusively on personal training and providing a luxury experience for the client and the trainer. In lieu of traditional memberships, which co-owner and founder Cary Reichbach says often shortchange personal trainers, the glamorous facility offers packages of 12, 24, or 36 sessions. Trainers enjoy a high-tech lounge, complete with a full kitchen, fitness library, and sleeping pods, so they can bring their A game to clients. Whether that client is a professional athlete in need of off-season guidance or a 60-year-old patient seeking post-rehab training, TrainerSpace matches them with a fitness expert who will ensure they reach that goal. As for me? Like any 20-something woman, I’d love to look like the Victoria’s Secret models I follow on Instagram. But, as someone who maintains a rigorous workout Keeping tabs on fitness goals encompasses more routine on my own, I’ve always than just tracking weight loss.

minated tool wall likens to something out of a spy movie. There are padded stretching tables, slacklines, monkey bars à la American Ninja Warrior, machines so beautiful they deserve their own art exhibit, and no televisions. Unlike a nightclub, the gym is hushed. Reichbach explains the space is acoustically designed to create a one-on-one bubble. So no one else can hear my huffing, puffing, and whining? Perfect. Gus leads me through a dynamic functional training program, where we isolate specific muscle groups and then take them to their full range of motion. He demonstrates and watches with unparalleled focus, yet he’s the furthest thing from a drill sergeant, encouraging me the whole way through. The experience concludes with a full-body, deeptissue Swedish massage (TrainerSpace provides customized massages on-site). Even the locker rooms resemble a five-star hotel spa. I leave feeling like a new person— completely relaxed and proud of the hard work I put in. “TrainerSpace is designed by and for people who are passionate about health and wellness,” Reichbach says. “You want to work out when you walk in. It’s a magic environment.” So magical, in fact, that I didn’t want to leave. (561-571-5392, trainerspace.com)

LINES AND WRINKLES are improved significantly by Retinol. It has been widely acknowledged as the most effective anti-ageing ingredient, retinol speeds up cell turnover, revealing younger-looking skin beneath. BLEMISHES AND ACNE are treated successfully with Salicylic acid. Adult acne is surprisingly common, but a salicylic acid cleanser can be effective. It stimulates the shedding of dead skin cells from within the follicle, to unplug pores clogged with oil and debris. SENSITIVITY and skin flares are improved by Oatmeal. It has a soothing anti-irritant effect but also leaves a protective barrier which helps prevent water loss and protect from further damage. PIGMENTATION spots can be treated with Kojic acid and arbutin. Age and sun damage can cause overproduction of melanin, leading to pigmentation and dark spots. BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE EXPLAINED SO FAR SOME CREAMS CAN YIELD REAL RESULTS. MY ADVICE WOULD BE TO: Choose creams based on their active ingredients and be consistent with their use. Avoid buying “whole lines” of products if you want to treat one or two issues. That should save you a good amount of money.

Balance BACK TO BASICS Medical studies continue to prove Mom was right: You do need to sit up straighter. While most research highlights the slew of problems poor posture poses down the road, there are immediate consequences, too. A recent study conducted at the University of Auckland in New Zealand makes the case that practicing proper posture can improve attention, enthusiasm, and energy. PBI spoke with neurosurgeon Dr. Charles Theofilos, founder of The Spine Center, to break down the science behind slouching. Palm Beach Gardens (800-814-1579, thespinecenter.com)
PBI: Why is posture so important to overall health? Theofilos: It affects something we call “sagittal balance,” the hot phrase for spinal alignment. If you measure the spine from the neck to the tailbone, it should be a straight line. As people age or have poor posture, they start slouching forward, which causes the fulcrum of your body to shift. This dramatically increases stress to the spine because your shock absorbers are meant to be sitting on top of each other, not leaning forward with a constant weight on them. Uneven pressure makes the discs wear out quicker, and you can develop accelerated disc degeneration and arthritis. Posture is one of the most important things as a preventative measure for trauma and the aging spine. What other ills can be brought on by practicing poor posture over an extended period of time? When people start having spine issues, the chronic pain

JEFFERSON R. VAUGHAN, MD, FACS Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery WHEN SELECTING A SPECIALIST IN MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY, WHAT ARE THE KEY CRITERIA? Being faced with an operation is stressful. I believe it’s important to find an individual with whom one can develop a communicative relationship. That being said, many studies have shown that volume is very important to successful surgical outcomes and fewer complications. It is also important to understand the procedure, how long it typically takes, and the average hospital stay for that procedure. WHAT ARE THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS/INNOVATIONS IN YOUR FIELD? I use a high-definition, three-dimensional camera for advanced laparoscopic surgery that allows me to perform complex surgical procedures such as colon resections. These operations generally require a lengthy hospital stay. When performed completely laparoscopically, however, patients are able to eat immediately after surgery and are discharged home the following day. WHAT DIFFERENTIATES YOUR PRACTICE FROM OTHER SPECIALISTS IN THE FIELD? Nutrition is immensely important for the recovery process. When appropriate, I maximize the patient’s nutritional status prior to surgery and continue to follow their nutrition during the post-operative period. For weight-loss surgery patients, I developed a line of multivitamins to address their specific nutritional needs.

Estate planning for blended families is a necessary, if sometimes uncomfortable, endeavor By Judy Martel
spouse while still leaving an inheritance for children from a previous marriage. But with some advance work and family communication, the odds of a smooth transition greatly improve.
PLAN FOR THE INEVITABLE
L
ove might be better the second time around, but when children from previous marriages are included in the new family, it can add up to a tricky estate plan. “With blended families you have special challenges because there’s a larger cast of concerned parties,” says attorney Richard Barnes, author of Estate Planning for Blended Families: Providing for Your Spouse and Children in a Second Marriage (Nolo, $35). “There’s just a natural tension among family members because of the concern in how the assets are transferred, and there’s a lot of emotion involved.” Financial challenges usually revolve around providing for the surviving 142 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
Because blended families have unrelated members, an estate plan needs to have more structure than it otherwise would. Barnes says the planning process will be easier if you first envision what you want to happen to your assets after your death. Then a professional can better determine the correct estate-planning strategy to satisfy your wishes. One of the more effective tools for blended families is a revocable trust, sometimes called a living trust. You still own the assets in the trust, but they typically bypass probate proceedings, saving your family extra costs or delays in distributing the property, Barnes explains. The trust directs the trustee to allocate assets according to your wishes upon death or incapacitation. “It’s something you can change during your life and it gives you a lot of flexibility,” he adds. You’ll still need a will for assets that won’t be in a trust, which generally include a primary residence and some assets with named beneficiaries, such as life insurance policies, as well as for assets you neglect to retitle into the trust, says Barnes. The will can be structured as a pour-over, so named because it directs any assets outside the trust to be transferred into it at your death.
THE DEVIL IN THE DETAILS Once you’ve determined the basic strategy for transferring your assets, make sure you haven’t forgotten any details that could derail your good intentions. Updating beneficiary designations is an important step that sometimes gets overlooked, Barnes says. Assets with named beneficiaries will generally transfer directly to them, regardless of what your will or trust states, he
Attorney Richard Barnes advises blended families to be open with their children and spouses about valuable assets like homes.
adds. For that reason, if you want your primary beneficiary to be your new spouse, make sure to update the appropriate documents. Otherwise, the first spouse could be an unintended recipient. The same goes for bank or investment accounts that are POD (payable on death) or TOD (transfer on death). The primary home is another major asset to include in the estate plan, particularly because it often has personal associations and emotional attachments. Generally, Florida law allows the surviving spouse to continue to live in the marital house before it passes to heirs, Barnes says. But in blended families, a surviving second spouse may receive only a share of the house—especially if there is no will or an outdated will. After marrying, you’ll want to draft a new will that details your intentions for caring for the surviving spouse and heirs. Finally, Barnes recommends parents in blended families communicate the plan with their kids in order to set expectations. Amounts and specifics
GRACE
don’t have to be revealed, but heirs should have a sense of what will happen when each parent dies. One way to relieve potential pressure among the surviving spouse and heirs later is to give gifts of cash or property now. “This way, the heirs are not waiting for the step-parent to die before they get their full inheritance,” Barnes says. Gifts don’t need to be major: perhaps some cash (you can give up to $14,000 per year per individual without incurring gift tax) or a special memento that might otherwise end up in a garage sale after your death if the surviving spouse is unaware of its special meaning. “The benefits of planning far outweigh any issues or problems,” Barnes says. “The hardest part is getting things going, but it doesn’t have to be perfect the first time. You can always come back and revise.” «

The Art Deco movement, recognized for its spectacular craftsmanship, geometric motifs, clean lines, and bold colors, became popular in Europe and the U.S. after World War I. Reflecting the West’s cultural flamboyancy and appreciation for wealth, innovation, and leisurely pursuits, the design aesthetic quickly crossed the Pacific to the Land of the Rising Sun, where it influenced art, home furnishings, advertising, and everyday objects. In “Deco Japan: Shaping Art and Culture, 19201945,” a traveling exhibition on display at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach through May 21, nearly 200 pieces convey this spectacular period through ceramics, furniture, paintings, glass, printmaking, and more. Some of the most striking works feature moga, Japan’s counterpart to the American flapper, who sported bob haircuts and bright lipstick and enjoyed cosmopolitan activities like dancing, drinking, and smoking cigarettes.

Jeff Leatham will discuss his exquisite floral work on April 8.
Jeff Leatham knows the power of first impressions. As artistic director for the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris, Leatham and his team design the jaw-dropping flower installations that stop guests in their designer shoes. His botanical masterpieces have amassed an impressive fan club of celebrities and public figures like Oprah Winfrey, the Dalai Lama, and Sofia Vergara, who enlisted Leatham for her nuptials at The Breakers. The Garden Club Flower Show at The Society of the Four Arts will welcome Leatham as its keynote speaker on April 8. The 90-minute program will include a discussion about his best works and an interactive floral demonstration. Tickets cost $75 and seating is limited. Palm Beach (561-655-7226, fourarts.org)

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE New York artist Hunt Slonem has a soft spot for rabbits, which have served as his artistic muse for more than 40 years. Each morning, he warms up by painting the nimble creatures on small rectangular panels using swift, undulating brushstrokes characteristic of his Neo-Expressionist style. He also paints dazzling florals, exotic birds, and butterflies often layered with a crosshatch pattern that evokes the steel wires of a cage. In early 2017, his compendium, Birds (Glitterati, $95), was published as a companion to his 2014 tome, Bunnies (Glitterati, $95). View 58 of his most whimsical works, including a bunny wall composed of 40 petite portraits, in his solo exhibit “Hunt Slonem: The Birds and the B’s,” on display at Rosenbaum Contemporary through April 29.

Paloma Picasso
I STEFANO NEGR
The daughter of Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot, Paloma Picasso was born with artistry in her veins. Rather than pursue painting, Picasso designed costumes for avant-garde stage productions after she graduated from the Université of Paris at Nanterre. She began creating jewelry for Yves Saint Laurent’s fashion collections in the ’60s, and then, in 1980, she embarked on a 37-year collaboration with Tiffany & Co. Her signature designs, marked by bold shapes and extravagant gemstones, have adorned Hollywood royalty, including Natalie Portman and Emma Stone. At the most recent Art Basel Miami Beach, she debuted Melody, her newest collection for Tiffany, now available with diamond embellishments. When not designing, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Dr. Eric Thévenet, at their homes in Marrakech, Morocco, and Lausanne, Switzerland. —Kerry Shorr WORTH THE SPLURGE Freshly cut flowers.
