Born in the air, deďŹ ned in the cockpit, assembled in England. Bremont mechanical chronometers are made by professionals to exacting standards.... for the rest of us.

v FROM THE PUBLISHER

It’s a Different World poked my head into the office of one of our executives a few minutes ago. Our director of operations, who handles most of our technology, was sitting at the desk of the person I went to see, working the keyboard and mouse while staring at the screen, while our director of production and manufacturing was poised over his shoulder. It was the magazine-industry equivalent of a crisis intervention. The person I sought was sitting in one of his guest chairs, bent over a smartphone, apparently not wasting a moment. He knew to stay out of their way and stay on task; I took it as a cue to make my way out of his office as quickly as I could. While I have become moderately tech-savvy through the years (I can just imagine our technology people snickering as they read this), a couple of the things I pride myself on in terms of management are: 1) When it comes to computers and anything with silicon chips, “I don’t know what I don’t know”; 2) I am much better off getting away quickly without giving input, and so is everyone else; and 3) things that “should only take a minute” or “a couple of clicks” never do. Back in my office, I was pondering the scene I had just witnessed and thinking about the days when we printed columns of type and used X-acto knives, T-squares, cardboard layout sheets, film and sketch pads. Later, but still seemingly eons ago, we sent CDs to a “service bureau” and got back huge sheets of film to send to our printers to make press plates. That was then; now, in the digital age, paper and the tools used to manipulate it don’t much figure into the prepress equation. These days, all our computers “talk” to one another (except when they don’t), our editors work almost exclusively on screens and we transmit digital files over high-speed lines to our printers, whose plates are “burned” by lasers with no need for film. The entire process takes less time and less money and produces far better quality. The publishing industry is indeed a different world, and we are proud to navigate it as a technology leader. As for those flashbacks of the old days? They pop up on occasion, mostly as reminders that it’s good to change.

v EDITOR’S LETTER

Design of the Times veryone who knows me knows I have a weak spot for houses of a certain age. Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment, but I can’t resist the challenge of breathing new life into old bones. Honoring the past while keeping a firm footing in the present is a dance I enjoy on so many levels—not least of all because it keeps our area’s architectural history alive. As a serial renovator of historical houses, I am always on the lookout for fresh ideas and advice from the pros. It’s a sentiment I’ve heard many readers echo as well. It’s as good a reason as any to present an issue focused on home design. Our signature feature this month, titled “Amazing Space” (page 58), is an exploration of the latest home decor trends, as interpreted by Palm Beach Countybased design stars. From Marc Thee’s ode to ikat to Patrick Killian’s obsession with coral hues, we dissect five trending styles and offer product suggestions and tips on making each shine in the Palm Beach environment. We also go inside the bold world of Geoffrey Bradfield in “Art Meets Design,” on page 52. Geoffrey, a decorated South African tastemaker, has found his slice of Palm Beach heaven at the Sun and Surf building. Not one to approach design timidly, he has imbued his space with a healthy dose of vintage Hollywood glamour— reflective surfaces, reinterpreted classic shapes, glossy whites and pops of apple green—and a significant art collection. All told, it’s a dream pad for lounging or entertaining. Speaking of entertaining, party season is upon us. To provide some inspiration for nibbles to serve at your next gathering, we have asked five local caterers to share their “Small Wonders.” This is the Land of the Hors d’Oeuvre, after all. Find the photographic feature on page 68, and check palmbeachillustrated.com for one of the recipes. As we ease into another oh-so-busy season, make the most of what remains of summer— and enjoy the issue!

Questions

Q 3

v Journey

TRAVIS SHINN

Eighties music wouldn’t have been the same without Journey. One of the biggest bands in rock history, Journey has earned 19 top-40 singles and 25 gold and platinum albums with such power ballads as “Any Way You Want It,” “Faithfully” and the still-popular “Don’t Stop Believin’.” Journey formed in 1973 in San Francisco and has gone through a number of changes, including a seven-year disbandment in 1989. The group is now on a two-year tour for its latest album, Eclipse, and will perform at Cruzan Amphitheatre on October 13. Bassist Ross Valory, an original member of the band, talked with PBI about

Journey’s popularity and direction today. —Jennifer Pfaff n “Don’t Stop Believin’” could be considered your signature song. Why do you think it’s had such staying power? It’s the universal message in the song. Even in good times, people have bad times. Given the times today, people relate to its simple message. It means the same to everybody: to pick ourselves up another day, and do it again. n How is Eclipse different from your other albums? Neal [Schon, lead guitarist] put a lot of energy into Eclipse. It was his idea to revisit

some of the other styles we are known for. Since 1998, like on Arrival and Generations, for example, there were songs similar in style to the hits of yesteryear, especially in the ballad department. Now it’s a different time, and songs don’t have the same impact—like that “first kiss” song you’ll never forget. ... There’s no format for it yet. It was an attempt to look at other ways to express ourselves in our songs. n There are a ton of Journey cover bands out there. If you were a cover band, who would you be? Me? Well, Frank Zappa’s son has already done whom I would want to cover. But I haven’t got the time, anyway.

first class vCALL OF THE WILD The intrinsic desire to observe and understand our biological ancestors in the “land of 1,000 hills” fuels the luxury travel boom defining Rwanda. By Paul Rubio Residing in the mysterious, mist-capped forests of Central Africa, the iconic mountain gorilla shares 97 percent of its DNA composition with human beings. The species’ plight for survival first captured global attention through the tireless work of Dian Fossey and remains at the top of conservation agendas. Every wildlife enthusiast dreams of the day he or she will come face-to-face with the world’s last surviving mountain gorillas. For me, that day was June 3, 2012. In an age where travelers can shop High Street or unwind in opulence at Le Meurice on a whim, the pilgrimage to Rwanda to observe gorillas in the equatorial jungle is an experience unlike any other. My contemporaries and I on the safari longed to immerse ourselves in the lost world of our critically endangered relatives and experience their all-encompassing majesty firsthand.

Counter-clockwise: the Virunga mountain range; a waterfront meal at Lake Kivu; breakfast at Sabyinyo.

Thankfully, Rwanda’s current climate does not reflect its tragic history. The country in the twenty-first century is safe and inviting, with a bustling yet remarkably pristine capital city, Kigali, and excellent infrastructure. Nature tourism is the country’s primary source of income, and it fosters an ongoing national commitment to conservation. This dedication is palpable in the northwest reaches across the picturesque peaks and valleys of Volcanoes National Park, home to Rwanda’s 380-plus mountain gorillas, just about half of the planet’s surviving population. The park encompasses a substantial portion of the Virunga Mountains, a precious swathe of lush primate habitat extending to neighboring Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. While the challenges of conservation are heightened by international boundaries, Rwanda’s park service professionals and stalwart nongovernmental organizations have habituated 18 troops of mountain gorillas within its bor36

ders. And because of a well-established permit system, nine of these families are accessible to visitors on prearranged gorilla treks. Luxury safari outfitter Cox & Kings USA facilitates the journey to the African heartland, anchored by up-close and personal time with the gentle giants on a four-day, three-night “Gorillas in the Mist” tour. A Cox & Kings representative escorts you throughout your trip, which begins with your arrival at the Kigali airport. Once in a private safari vehicle, you’ll immediately understand Rwanda’s “1,000 hill” epithet, as you climb and descend the verdant countryside. By your first afternoon, the jet lag quickly dissipates while relaxing in a designer bathtub, gin and tonic in hand, at the posh Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge. Rwanda’s newest diamond in the brush reflects a growing global demand for high-end ecotourism with a sumptuous product: Eight spacious stone cottages, steeped in rustic luxury and capped with Rwandese terra-cotta tile

roofs, sit in the shadows of the dramatic Virunga mountains. The common spaces flaunt a bucolic charm, offering an idyllic ambience for safari-goers eager to share their experiences over gourmet delicacies and sophisticated libations. For the next two mornings, expect a 5:30 a.m. wake-up “knock” for an on-time arrival at park headquarters to begin this unforgettable adventure. Your peregrination varies in length from two to eight hours, depending on the gorillas’ movement and location. Once at HQ, you’ll find out which of the nine troops you’ll be visiting and soon learn of the personalities and idiosyncrasies within that group. On my first trek, I was assigned to the 17-member Hirwe family, which includes a young silverback and his charismatic (and delightfully rambunctious) newborn twins. After several hours of hiking through a combination of rain forest and bamboo forest, our park guides led us to the silverback, two females and the twins sunbathing near a dry riverbed, with the rest of the extended family close behind. At close range, it was hard to hold back the flurry of emotions. Their humanlike qualities are uncanny, their personal interactions spellbinding. For me, this marked one of my life’s greatest and most poignant moments. The following day brought us in close contact with the Sabyinyo troop, twice the size of Hirwe and led by the largest living silverback male on record (nearly 500 pounds). Under the dense canopy, the family dynamics, the new personalities and the

curious tree-climbing juveniles offered an experience completely different from the previous day. And unlike my first trek, I was able to live in the moment, not just through the camera lens. Amazingly enough, the intrigue doesn’t end with the gorilla encounter. Rwanda, about the size of Maryland, offers more for travelers to explore, and Cox & Kings typically allots extra days to accommodate. Within Volcanoes National Park, daily treks are conducted in search of the rare golden monkey. Farther afield but within driving distance, at Nyungwe Forest National Park in the country’s southwestern reaches, chimpanzee excursions headline the daily agenda. Near the Virungas along Lake Kivu is the resort town of Gisenyi. Low-rise colonial-style gems, such as the international

standard Lake Kivu Serena Hotel, line the sandy beaches of this vast, crystalline freshwater lake, while plenty of local-style restaurants and shops abound. Heading back to the country’s central region, the capital’s amenity-rich Kigali Serena Hotel provides a comfortable base for exploring the city’s pedestrian streets,

friendly storefronts, dynamic markets and public parks. Wherever your interests lie, Cox & Kings is able to build additional days into the itinerary for riding your “gorilla high” a bit longer and experiencing more of this nation on the rise. coxandkingsusa .com; gov.rw; igcp.org. u

If I had to nominate the hottest trend in automobiles right now— apart from those annoying bright-white, hockey stick-shaped LED lights—it would have to be the four-door coupe. Since Mercedes-Benz created the genre with its gorgeous CLS back in 2003, it seems like every carmaker has leapt onto the bandwagon: Volkswagen with its CC, Audi with its A7, Porsche with its Panamera, and even Jaguar with its XJ. The appeal is pretty straightforward. Everyone loves the swoopy lines of a two-door coupe. That’s why the Bentley Continental GT can bring grown men to tears, while the four-door Continental Flying Spur version is like visual Prozac. But two doors come with compromises, like usually minuscule rear seats and access to them that requires the contortionist skills of a Caribbean limbo dancer. Watch riders try to extract themselves from the back of the Continental GT, and it seems more like an entry for America’s Funniest Home Videos. Yet add two extra doors to a low-slung, fastback-roofed coupe 38

and stretch the wheelbase to give more legroom in the back, and you have seemingly the perfect compromise—form with functionality. Take a long, lingering look at Aston Martin’s four-door Rapide, and tell me it doesn’t make sense. But is it all just that—a fad? Will one too many rear-seat riders complain at the lack of headroom? Or scream blue-murder at whacking their head on that ski-slope-like roof as they slither in? Just as I was beginning to raise my hand in support of the faddist argument, I clapped eyes on BMW’s achingly gorgeous new 6 Series Gran Coupe. Had he still been around, Wordsworth would have penned sonnets in adoration of this car; Romeo would have ditched Juliet as the focus of his affection. To witness its true gorgeousness, gaze at the Gran Coupe in profile. It’s that old school, classic look of a long, long hood, high waist and low roof as well as a roofline that sweeps down to a short, stubby, near-horizontal trunk lid. It’s also pretty stunning when you open a door and climb aboard.

Our tester came with the new creamy-white Opal leather with Amaro Brown accents. It was like sitting in a cup of cappuccino. In the back, there’s no shortage of stretch-out legroom, but while BMW labels the car a 4+1 seater, with space for a middle back-seat rider, don’t believe it. As the wide center console runs all the way back, anyone in the middle would have to straddle it as if riding Seabiscuit. Depending on your need for speed, there are two engines to choose from. The entry model—the Gran Coupe 640i, which we’ve been sampling—features BMW’s super 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six. For us, it provides such a sweet balance between power—it packs a healthy 315 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque—and excellent fuel economy (20 mpg city and 30 mpg highway). And coupled with a new 8-speed ZF auto, it can sprint from rest to 60 mph in a swift 5.6 seconds. Performance lovers, however, will probably opt for the more potent 650i model, with BMW’s much-loved 5.5-liter turbo V-8 under that long hood cranking out a meaty 443 horsepower.

If there’s a minor criticism of the 3.0-liter in the 640i, it’s that it is a little short on low-speed response. The engine really has to be spinning above 3,000 rpm to get it to perk up. But after that, it really does pull like an Amtrak locomotive all the way to its 7,000 rpm red line. And the tasty combo of nicely weighted steering, well-tuned suspension and a surprisingly smooth, supple ride makes the 640i a true joy to drive. One big surprise with the 640i Gran Coupe is its pricing. At $76,895—with the potential to soar to close to $100,000 when you load up on options—it’s $4,000 more than the V8-powered Mercedes-Benz CLS550 and $17,000 more than the lovely Audi A7. But then again, who ever said beauty comes cheap? u

Designer Geoffrey Bradfield decorates his Palm Beach apartment with a focus on art and a touch of old Hollywood. By Linda Marx | Photography by Kim Sargent

Although Geoffrey Bradfield had always dreamed of living on the ocean in Palm Beach, it took many years to find just the right space. The South African-born interior designer, who has been named Dean of American Design by Architectural Digest and presented with a design award in his homeland by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, grew up on the Eastern Cape in a family farm atop a promontory overlooking the Indian Ocean. He has lived seasonally in Palm Beach for nearly two decades. But it wasn’t until recently that he found the 1,700-square-foot, twobedroom condo, at the seaside Sun and Surf, that tempted his talents. “I have lots of work in Palm Beach and come down from New York twice a month for long weekends,” says the immaculately tailored Bradfield, who earlier this year received the Man of Achievement Award from the American Cancer Society. “I [enjoy walking] on the beach three miles a day. The Sun and Surf building feels like a private club, and I can have the ocean with no traffic or interference of any kind.”

Clockwise from top left: Bradfield’s living room features mirrored walls, a hand-painted rug and fluted Doric columns; Robert Graham’s Gabrielle is perched near a Shogun table of Bradfield’s design; cowrie shell figurines from Cameroon occupy the top of white lacquered shelving; the always dapper Bradfield.

Bradfield wanted to design his Palm Beach apartment in all white with limestone floors, inspired by one of his grand passions: old Hollywood glamour. Because he had no timeframe in mind, he gave himself free reign to indulge his love of 1940s movies and find just the right art and furnishings to complement the solid white interior. “I love the rich ornamentation of that time period and its sensual, indulgent lifestyle,” says Bradfield, who has designed the homes of film director Oliver Stone and KISS lead singer Paul Stanley. “It was a perfect theme for my interpretation of Palm 54

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Beach, which is a marvelous fantasy island, our own Monte Carlo or Saint-Tropez.” Bradfield is single and loves to entertain (he is especially known for his cocktail parties before galas, art events and dinners), so he spent a great deal of time designing his mirrored living room, which combines contemporary art with Art Moderne, classicism and African primitivism. Four fluted Doric columns anchoring the room establish his vision of Hollywood Regency. The hand-painted rug reflects a 1940s-era pattern, and the mirrored walls are framed with Art Moderneshaped moldings.

For Bradfield, who started collecting at age 22, art has always been central to interior design—whether for himself or for clients. That passion is evident in this space. Robert Graham’s sensual Gabrielle sculpture overlooks a Shogun table from his own furniture collection and contrasts with 150-year-old Cameroon fertility figures, which are displayed atop white-lacquered shelves. “I am basically living in an art-filled Hollywood set,” he says of his mix of styles and textures. “The two living room mirrors remind me of Joan Crawford in her heyday. The entire room oozes Hollywood glamour, so you can imagine how much I love to en-

tertain there.” Because Bradfield doesn’t believe in serving food at his parties (his guests are usually headed to a major dinner afterward), he prefers to pour Champagne and cocktails of every stripe. Guests admire the surroundings and make their way out to the terrace, which houses the bar. Inside or out, the apartment is the perfect environment in which to mingle with guests from Bradfield’s international list, which often includes textile mavens/collectors Iris and Carl Apfel; photographer Harry Benson and his wife, Gigi; artist Edwina Sandys and husband Richard Kapalmbeachillustrated.com | october 2012 55

Bold-colored artworks and chartreuse accents pop against the white walls and furnishings in the master suite.

plan; writer Barbara Taylor Bradford; designer Arnold Scaasi and publishing executive Parker Ladd; philanthropist Tom Quick; and the Earl and Countess Bathurst. Guests sip and stroll through the apartment, enjoying shapes, volumes and colors that stand out against pure white walls. Bradfield’s media room, an alcove off the dining space, offers varying shades of green to highlight the white surroundings. Here, the color is the art. Expressed in fabrics and in the hand-painted walls and ceiling, bursting with textured jungle foliage, color becomes the focal point of the room. The color theme continues in the master suite with a modern chartreuse Eclipse chair situated across from the bed. “This is the signature piece of Jay Spectre’s and my furniture collection,” he says of his late partner. “It is my good luck charm.” The rest of the room is defined by bold color in well-thought-out art selections. Jim Dine’s vibrant Heart, from Palm Beach’s Gasiunasen Gallery, is a showstopper with its smoldering intensity. A pair of Bradfield portraits by Hunt Slonem also bring a rainbow of color: red, orange, pink, green and blue. In addition, Sabin Howard’s Anger and Sandys’ Eve’s Apple sculptures provide humor with lust, temptation and excitement. “I like the juxtaposition of contempo56

rary art with some antiques,” Bradfield says. “I have a wild passion for art. It is part of everything I do.” His adjoining master bath carries the mirrored theme from the living room into a modern space of luxury, lighting and limestone. He calls it his “MGM room.” Bradfield likes to compare the feel of his glam Palm Beach pad with the film set of the 1950s flick All About Eve, starring Bette Davis and Anne Baxter. The dishy back-

stage yarn about an aging actress and her smart circle of theatrical friends is one of his all-time favorites. “After one of my parties with a wide variety of friends, I love to spend the night in this apartment,” he says. “There is nothing better than to be in Palm Beach and able to indulge the fantasy of things I love.” After a career of designing for others, this apartment is where Bradfield is indeed the star of his own show. u

Five interior designers sound off on decorating trends for the wellappointed Palm Beach home. By Mary Gibble and Danielle Trubow

Virginia Dominicis spiced up this room with an ikat sofa.

EXPLORE IKAT | MARK THEE Even if you’ve never heard the word “ikat,” you’ve surely seen the fabric, as it’s been around for hundreds of years. Marc Thee, co-CEO of Marc Michaels Interior Design in Boca Raton, says ikat is making a resurgence in home design because of its versatility and timeless elegance. “The pattern itself is classically ethnic with wonderful saturation of color—which brings attitude and opens the door to mix in other culturally driven textures, patterns or metallics,” he says. Ikats come in a variety of colors—some vibrant, others muted—and an endless array of graphic patterns. A dash of ikat can add a bold nod to a traditional room or a sense of worldly chic to a contemporary space.

Ease into it. If you are intimidated by ikat, start by incorporating one or two ikat items that coordinate with the other colors in the room. Or go for a more subtle variation.

WELCOME IN THE OUTDOORS | ALLISON PALADINO When you invite the outside into your home, you’re also inviting a tranquil state of mind. Now, more than ever, people want to bridge the divide between inside and out, says Allison Paladino of Allison Paladino Interior Design in Palm Beach. “We continue to see clients gravitating toward designs that incorporate natural materials and blur the distinction between outdoor living and indoor,” she says. To accomplish this, she says, pepper your decor with natural woods and fibers, floral motifs and shell accents. Also, give your outdoor space a facelift by adding indoor-quality furniture, and even art. When outdoor living spaces feel plush, they are perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

IT’S ECLECTIC | CHAD RENFRO Who says you always have to match? It’s far more interesting to get creative. Chad Renfro of Chad Renfro Design in Palm Beach says eclecticism is one of the hottest design trends and can be obtained in a number of ways. “There is no rule regarding eclecticism, and that’s what makes it so much fun,” he says. Combining vintage and modern pieces is one way to be eclectic. Refurbishing antique chairs or sofas with a modern fabric instantly adds an element of surprise. You can also mix colors, patterns, decades and textures—but proceed with caution. If in doubt about the compatibility of certain styles, rely on the trained eye of a professional.

Orange hues are a natural part of Florida living. But Patrick Killian of Patrick Killian Inc.

To obtain this look, explore different shades of coral: reddish, pink, melon, persimmon and rust. You can mix and match hues or pick one and make a statement. Either way, this colorway will help brighten your space.

Accesorize.

Clean slate.

If you don’t want to commit to a big dose of coral, try bringing in the color through throw pillows or an occasional table.

REDEFINING VINTAGE | JOSEPH PUBILLONES We’re not getting any younger, and neither is furniture. As the years pass, items formerly classified as modern are showing up in antique shops throughout the country. Palm Beach designer Joseph Pubillones says vintage is always in style, but the definition of the term is ever changing. “As the calendar moves forward, we’re seeing items from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s being categorized in the vintage era,” he says. To obtain the look, start with a base of contemporary pieces and add one or two “past perfect” statement items for strategic accessorizing.

Pubillones says furniture from the 1970s is having a renaissance. Overstuffed sofas, lacquered furniture and chairs from designers like Milo Baughman and Karl Springer are now hot commodities.

This office by Jospeh Pubillones personifies the new vintage aesthetic. The nod to the past comes compliments of the desk, chairs and primitive art.

Midcentury love affair. “Midcentury covers post-World War II to the ’80s,” Pubillones points out. Spot a great ’40s clock or chair at the antique store? Snap it up! Just make sure to juxtapose it with a current piece.

Mix things up. Many vintage pieces from the ’70s come in neutral tones. Dress them up by adding splashes of color, prints and cheeky statement pieces.

GEN WINE © thesecondglass

Millennials upend the rules to being oenophiles in intoxicating ways. By Mark Spivak

The Generation Y crowd approaches wine drinking as a fun social activity.

Gradually but noticeably, wine is being marketed differently in America. The Millennial Generation has become the second-largest wine-consuming group in the country, right behind the Baby Boomers, and the industry has taken notice. Sometimes referred to as Generation Y or Generation Next, this crowd can be roughly defined as the 21- to 35-year-old demographic (you know, the bunch raised on iPods and Facebook), and they are experiencing wine in a totally different way than their parents do. 76

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

For one thing, Millennials expect drinking to be fun. This assumption separates them starkly from their elders, who accepted wine on the terms it was offered— serious, even scholarly, full of technical jargon. Young imbibers today want to know how wine fits into their social and recreational lives, rather than obsessing about when the grapes were harvested, how the juice was vinified or which critic rated it 93 points. Consider Mutineer Magazine, published by 28-year-old Alan Kropf. It focuses on beer

and spirits as well as wine, and its mission is “to share the modern fine-beverage experience with the Millennial Generation.” Rather than running didactic reviews, the pages are more likely to feature pieces on personalities such as video blogger Gary Vaynerchuk, founder of Wine Library TV; Randall Grahm, author and founder of Bonny Doon Vineyard; and rocker-turnedwinemaker Maynard James Keenan. Mutineer also sponsors a series of traveling conferences called Wine Circuses around the country, consisting of three-hour seminars

that discuss millennial culture and its impact on the wine business. One of the speakers at the Wine Circuses is Tyler Balliet, founder of Second Glass, an enthusiasts’ group best known for so-called Wine Riots—relaxed, casual tastings held in major cities. Instead of taking notes, participants are encouraged to download a mobile app and record their impressions on their smartphones. The events include a DJ spinning what is described as a “killer soundtrack,” and towards the end of the evening, attendees can get a temporary tattoo and pose in a photo booth. Following the first-ever of these in Brooklyn, The New York Times headlined its review: “Wine Riot Attracts NonSnobby Sippers.” According to industry insiders, the booming success of the Australian “critter labels,” such as Yellow Tail and Little Penguin, can be attributed to their popularity among the 21-30 age group. With bright colors and cartoonish depictions of exotic animals, these bottles appear to be ... as far removed as possible from the wines favored by the parents of Gen Y. In addition, the flavor profiles appeal to novice

wine drinkers; off-dry, filled with forward fruit and low in tannin, they provide an easy introduction. It’s no surprise that brands are being created specifically with this audience in mind. One example is HobNob, created by W.J. Deutsch & Sons with the intent of “taking the pretension out of wine,” in the words of one executive. HobNob is imported from France, but you won’t find that information on the bottle, nor will you see a line drawing of a château—just a clean and eye-catching geometric design. As one might expect, the marketing campaign includes a heavy dose of social media, along with an interactive website and an iPhone app. Millennials appear to be extremely sensitive to pandering, and companies are cautiously trying not to step over the line when soliciting their business. But at the same time, Gen Y-ers’ spirit of adventure and willingness to try new things (independent of third-party reviews) is electrifying the wine world. Interested onlookers want to know what the young crowd is pouring, and it’s certainly not your father’s Lafite. u

Keep Cool

Everyone is having a great time at the Coolinary Café, and we can see why. By MARK SPIVAK

There’s something disorienting about the Coolinary Café in Palm Beach Gardens, and it takes a few minutes to figure it out: Everyone is having fun. The customers are enjoying themselves, as they are supposed to, but in addition, the kitchen crew and service staff seem to be having the time of their lives. Much of the merriment is traceable to Tim Lipman, the owner and chef, who mans the open kitchen in the small dining room. A former head chef at Leftovers Café (part of the Little Moir’s Food Shack empire), Lipman opened his own establishment in March and never looked back. The space is long and narrow, sleek and modern, dominated by the kitchen on one side. A few dozen counter seats surround the cooking area, along with another 10 at the wine bar, and a row of tables anchors the other side of the room. The vibe is friendly, high-energy and hip. The establishment would fit nicely into SoHo or L.A. To get a sense of Lipman’s culinary wingspan, try an appetizer such as the pan-roasted wild mushroom salad ($12). The assortment of mushrooms is sautéed with beet greens, which provides a nicely bitter counterpoint, and the dish is rounded out with a base of “cheesy polenta” that catapults the combination into the realm of gourmet comfort food. The crispy fried Florida rock shrimp ($12) is equally satisfying. Chunks of fried artichoke alternate with the lightly battered shrimp; both are garnished with a mildly spicy chili aioli and studded with pieces of creamy goat cheese. Even the humble flatbread ($12) gets star treatment here, covered with cheese and chunks of fresh tomato, and highlighted with spicy soppressata. A battery of changing daily specials complements the regular menu. On the night of our visit, a seafood chowder ($23) is rich and delicate.

Vanilla almond bread pudding; Coolinary’s interior vibe.

Featuring pieces of local fish, wild caught shrimp, Florida clams, white eggplant and calabaza squash, it is presented in a lively broth of garlic and coconut milk. Braised Berkshire pork shoulder ($21) is meltingly tender, bathed in a coconut curry and garnished with cauliflower salsa. There’s a respectable selection of craft beers to wash all of this down, along with a short but serviceable wine list. Glasses of Cliff Lede Sauvignon Blanc ($11) from the Stag’s Leap District and the rich, buttery Talley Chardonnay from Arroyo Grande ($12) are a nice complement to the assertively seasoned food. If you’re feeling adventurous, the house makes its own sangria daily, and it looks tempting. Service is friendly, relaxed and well-informed. When glitches occur, as they inevitably do, they are dealt with quickly. Lipman is the glue that holds everything together—joking with the wait staff, keeping the kitchen running smoothly and bantering with regulars in his spare moments. It’s an example of exactly how well a concept can be executed when approached in the right spirit, without attitude and with a sincere desire to please.

The Coolinary Café is a delight, and hopefully it won’t change. No reservations are taken, except for large parties; the place fills up quickly on most evenings, but the experience is more than worth the wait. u

We must confess, we’re slightly addicted to the Tuscan fries at Temple Orange at the RitzCarlton, Palm Beach.

A four-course dinner of cucina Romana. A different fine Italian wine paired with each dish. And friendly discussions with table guests we’ve never met who quickly become new acquaintances. That’s the concept behind the new monthly wine dinners at D’Angelo Trattoria in Delray Beach, where guests are treated to a unique dining experience for only $55. Everything about this event is special. Chef Rickie Piper presents dishes not seen regularly on the menu, such as prosciutto with white wine-poached pear and balsamic reduction or braised lamb shank with roasted fingerling potatoes and saffroninfused carnaroli rice. The menu is different every month, and each course is savored with Italian wines from a list compiled by

owner Angelo Elia. The private event is held in the restaurant’s outdoor courtyard, where diners are seated at two long tables, creating a warm, family-style atmosphere that breeds good conversation. Reservations for the wine dinners are limited but well worth making. The next one will be held October 23. (561-3301237, dangelotrattoria)

Nouveau Fare When Stéphane’s opened in Boca Raton in July, owner Stéphane LangWillar had a few tricks up his sleeve. Like joining forces with master sommelier Virginia Philip; adding a raw oyster bar; and handing every table an iPad to browse the menu and read Philip’s wine-pairing recommendations for each dish. How cool is that? Seafood is the star in this FrenchAmerican restaurant, which serves classics like bouillabaisse and several renditions of mussels. Don’t miss the Champagne risotto river—a delectable “river” of Arborio rice, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Emmental cheese, served in a long, curvy dish, and topped with shrimp for an extra $5—and the Valrhona chocolate molten lava cake, which literally erupts on your taste buds.

balance sweet revelation It’s popping up in local cuisine, martinis and even ice cream. The lychee is a native Chinese berry that resembles a large raspberry—until you peel off the red covering to reveal a sweet and juicy white fruit. Remove the nut from the skin, and you’ve got an excellent source of Vitamin C, a boost of B vitamins and minerals and, some experts say, a natural substance that can help prevent cancer. For these and other reasons, the lychee is considered a “superfood;" it's also why its Chinese name translates to “gift for a joyful life.”

If you had to check into a hospital for a few days, wouldn’t you want your experience to feel more like an extended stay at a posh hotel? That’s what Wellington Regional Medical Center had in mind when it invested $50 million into an 80patient room expansion. Billed as “the Ritz-Carlton of hospitals,” the new threestory Alan B. Miller Pavilion looks more like a contemporary hotel: Patient rooms feature hardwood flooring, pendant lighting and flat-screen TVs. The nurses' stations have backsplashes. And you won’t find typical hospital paint here; walls are hued in a spalike blue-green. It’s all part of Wellington Regional’s effort to become the center of health care in Palm Beach County. Take part in the grand opening of the new pavilion October 3. (561-798-8500, wellingtonregional.com)

agenda culture v REIMAGINING ALICE

photo credit

Think you know the tale of Alice, the White Rabbit and their magical home called Wonderland? Think again. The Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s production of Through the Looking Glass is a contemporary retelling of Lewis Carroll’s beloved children’s classic, weaving together puppetry, magic and a fresh new score. Join Alice, a modern, young girl, as she struggles to be accepted by her peers. By tapping into her imagination and visiting Wonderland, she’s able to work through her feelings, taking the lessons she learned in her make-believe world and putting them to practice in reality. Each character’s personality is reflected in John Mercurio’s score, a pastiche that incorporates a variety of genres. Travel through the looking glass for this one-night-only performance October 12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $20 for adults and $15 for children. (561575-2223, jupitertheatre.org) —Mary Gibble
