Kenzo Takada dresses the Mah Jong

Free spirited and audacious designer Kenzo Takada, known as "the most Parisian of Japanese fashion designers", has designed an exceptional collection of fabrics and ceramics for Roche Bobois. To dress the Mah Jong sofa, he drew inspiration from traditional kimonos of the NĂ´ theater. He reinterpreted the motifs and colors, creating delicate and sophisticated harmonies that symbolize the three times of the day: Asa (morning), Hiru (noon), and Yoru (evening).

Mah Jong. Modular sofa system, design Hans Hopfer.

Upholstered in NĂ´ Gaku fabrics, Yoru version, designed by Kenzo Takada for Roche Bobois.

French Art de Vivre

Manufactured in Europe.

Editor’s

LIBBY VOLGYES

Though snow flurries aren’t falling outside and chestnuts aren’t roasting on an open fire, there is magic in the air in Palm Beach. It’s heard in the clinking of crystal as we celebrate our gratitude for friends, family, and good fortune, and felt in the warmth of the true spirit of giving. In this most social and philanthropic of communities, the holiday season is about sharing and counting blessings.

This month is the perfect time to engage in festive activities, such as taking the children to see The Nutcracker (Ballet Palm Beach performs a charming version December 1-3 at the Kravis) or to the annual Christmas carol sing-along at Bethesda by the Sea. But it’s also a wonderful opportunity to give back—and to teach the next generation the joys of compassion. Consider supporting one of the toy and food drives around the county, including the Town of Palm Beach United Way and the Palm Beach Holiday Boat Parade, or head to a family event that supports those in need, such as the Sugar Plum Dreams Holiday Brunch to benefit Quantum House. The heartwarming effect is priceless.

To immerse you further in the holiday spirit, we have curated seasonal content to delight and inspire. Our cover subjects this month, Gene and Christine Pressman, invite us inside their waterfront apartment for a stylish soiree celebrating friendship, art, and design. Gene, the grandson of Barney Pressman, who founded Barneys New York, has a knack for unearthing and collecting cool things, a hobby he cultivated over years of running the family business and in his post-Barneys design career. Learn more about this chic couple and their artistic leanings in “A Modern Classic” on page 84.

If you’re at a loss for what to gift this year, take a cue from our editors. In “The List,” PBI’s very own tastemakers suggest beautiful and unusual objects and experiences for everyone on your list. Take a peek on page 96. Mary Murray, our managing editor, has also assembled a gasp-worthy collection of diamond jewelry in her photographic feature, “Ice Queen.” Turn to page 104, and choose a sparkler for that special someone.

I wish you a holiday season full of peace, passion, and purpose. Cheers!

When does hoarding turn into a creatively fulfilling pursuit? Local artist Bruce Helander reflects upon this question while simultaneously highlighting the life and belongings of his friend and famous glass sculptor Dale Chihuly in the new book Chihuly: An Artist Collects (Abrams Books, $35). In his perspicacious foreword, Helander chronicles Chihuly’s evolution as a collector, noting his appreciation for the beauty of everyday objects and fascination with the aesthetics of repetition. Helander believes Chihuly’s itch for flea market excursions and adoration of domestic hunting can be traced back to his mother—but this passion did not end in childhood. Rather, as Chihuly grew as an artist, he also dedicated decades to cultivating hundreds of items, from ornaments to dog figurines, matchbooks to accordions. On December 18, Helander will host a lecture entitled “An Artist Collects: Dale Chihuly’s Collections” at 2:30 p.m. at The Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach. The presentation is free, but reservations are required. (561-655-7226, fourarts.org)

As if Americans needed another reason to pop a few bottles on New Year’s Eve, December 31 also happens to be National Champagne Day. Celebrate the occasion with a toast to these stylishly satisfying sips.

Edi

DOM PÉRIGNON LIMITED EDITION BY TOKUJIN YOSHIOKA The Dom is no stranger to artistic collaborations; it has previously paired up with fashion giant Karl Lagerfeld and sculpting savant Jeff Koons to design collectible casings.

This year, it joined forces with Japanese artist Tokujin Yoshioka to create a crystal prism (sold separately) to encase its 2009 blanc ($169) and 2005 rosé ($359). (domperignon.com)

BOLLINGER ROSÉ 2006 Those who prefer their bubbly with a pink hue should reach for Bollinger Rosé 2006 ($140).

Given that year’s peculiar climate (an exceptionally cold winter and equally hot summer), Bollinger chose to craft its first limited-edition cuvée with no white equivalent. It aged for more than 10 years before finding its way into the bottle and a modern package of latticework realized in shades of rose gold. (champagnebollinger.com)

MOËT & CHANDON MINI IMPÉRIAL BRUT Ring in the new year on the go with help from a petite companion.

These personal-sized bottles ($12 each) are best enjoyed with a mini flute that inserts into the top of the vessel. Stock up for your midnight countdown by picking up a six pack of Mini Impérial Bruts at Flame Liquors in Palm Beach. (us.moet.com)

VEUVE CLICQUOT LA GRANDE DAME

BY CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA Fans of Charlotte Olympia’s Vanina clutch will instantly recognize the aesthetic of this limited-edition gift box ($150).

The Champagne, La Grande Dame 2006, pays homage to Madame Clicquot herself, Barbe Ponsardin.

Both the box and the bottle feature Olympia’s famed leopard print to complement the supple grain leather of the case exterior. (veuveclicquot.com)

CHANDON CALIFORNIA WINTER COLLECTION 2017 BY REBECCA MINKOFF Fashionistas and oenophiles can find common ground over this creation, available in brut or rosé ($24). Designer Rebecca Minkoff displays her passion for geometric shapes and metallic shine on the bottle and a corresponding clutch ($95), made from iridescent leather and emblazoned with a hand-painted message from artist Brian Kaspr. (chandon.com)

KRUG GRANDE CUVÉE SHARING SET Keep the party going wherever you may roam thanks to this chic console ($199), featuring a bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée and two Le Joseph glasses.

Riedel formed these unique drinking vessels specifically for Krug, believing a traditional flute cannot sufficiently spotlight this brut’s blend of more than 120 wines. (krug.com)

The Moke has a storied history. Produced for the British Army in the 1950s as a combat vehicle, it was quickly deemed unfit for service and instead found favor as a spunky, short-distance cart. Celebrity fans included Brigitte Bardot and The Beach Boys, who helped it gain a reputation tied to breezy island living. Now, the Moke—which rhymes with bloke—has found its way stateside with a carbon-free electric version suitable for real road travel. Its lithium battery can charge in eight hours and hooks up to any three-pronged plug. While this glamorous motorcar puts golf carts to shame, it still tops out at 25 mph, making it less than ideal for rush hour on I-95 but perfect for scooting around Palm Beach.

Drivers in waiting can purchase it locally at Palm Beach Garage in West Palm Beach. (561-833-6622, palmbeachgarage.com)

SAND

GO FORE IT

Few trees are as active on social media as Sandi, West Palm Beach’s holiday tree made of 600 tons of sand. Every December, Sandi returns from her slumber to share selfies and #humblebrags about her good looks, size, and all-around amazingness. “She’s big, she’s sassy, and she’s not afraid to take anybody on,” says manager Mary Pinak.

Sandi has become synonymous with Christmas, but she’s actually a fairly recent addition to the West Palm Beach Waterfront. In 2011, the city wanted to spice up its seasonal decor, which up until then had included a traditional tree. Pinak reached out to Team Sandtastic from Sarasota and invited them to make a handful of holiday-themed sculptures with a Florida twist. “They’re experts at what they do,” Pinak adds. “They wear shorts and flip-flops, and their office is a bucket.”

Impressed with their output, Pinak posed a challenge: Could they build a 35-foot sand tree to replace West Palm’s current fir? Sandtastic provided a proposal a few weeks later, and Sandi debuted in 2012.

What goes into bringing Sandi to life? Eight to nine sculptors arrive the second week of November and finish sculpting the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. They embed Sandi’s main lights as they work, but then a lighting designer comes in to finish

illuminating Sandi and her territory, which extends across the street from the Great Lawn to the area directly on the Intracoastal. In total, Sandi consists of about 1,200 lights, while Sandi Land boasts around 36,000. “Her domain just keeps getting bigger every year, as does her personality,” says Pinak.

Sandi will make her grand entrance on November 30—and this year, she’ll be accompanied by a friend she met on vacation. While her companion won’t measure quite as tall, he too will be substantial in size and personality, explains Pinak.

Other Sandi Land highlights include a special Sunday on the Waterfront with the Aloha Islanders on December 17, as well as a new addition, Reindeer Games Trivia, on December 19. Sandi will present nightly light shows through the new year, before leaving for some R&R in January. Until then, she’ll greet approximately 75,000 to 100,000 visitors, who will no doubt be awed by her beauty and bravado. (wpb.org)

The difference is Gaggenau.

We have been perfecting one oven for 30 years. Our latest rendition accentuates its distinctive design: the door is now created from one imposing 36 inch wide sheet of 3 mm high-grade stainless steel. It represents one vast entrance to culinary potential.

This remodelled, hand-crafted work of art represents the culmination of our finest principles, skills and ethos. We’ve christened it the EB 333 in recognition of our 333 years of working in metal. This has always been more than an oven; it is a promise to create masterpieces.

FANTASY

ISLANDS By paul rubio

In the remote lands of the Indian and Pacific oceans await iterations of tropical luxury so extraordinary, they’re worth crossing continents to reach. These three under-the-radar island resorts yield authentic adventures and serene moments suitable for both families and couples.

While Fiji’s far-flung private islands typically steal the limelight, Viti Levu, the largest of the nation’s 333 islands, is making waves thanks to the opening of Nanuku, a property of Auberge Resorts pedigree on its sparkling southern shores.

Unlike Fiji’s romance-imbued, slow-paced retreats, Nanuku attracts a more active and curious traveler, catering to those eager to immerse in cultural and natural wonders. To be sure, the resort’s lounger-lined beachfront, swimming pool, and dreamy, private, offshore island—not to mention the fabulous spa, an Auberge Resorts hallmark—are always available for perfecting the art of doing nothing.

However, the extensive daily programming at Nanuku sets it apart from its South Pacific peers.

Complimentary activities like cooking classes, tribal dance sessions, kava ceremonies, and coconut-husking lessons, often surpass a more predictable fun-in-the-sun routine.

Outside the resort grounds, Nanuku organizes quintessential Fijian experiences in

haute style, including some serious waterfall hikes, where the ultimate reward arrives at the summit. (Spoiler alert: The house chef is up there waiting for you with a feast of justcaught, pan-fried crabs, river shrimp, side dishes, and a few bottles of Champagne to wash it all down.) The snorkeling and diving here is also phenomenal; head out on an underwater excursion directly from your beachfront villa or spend a day marooned on Nanuku’s private offshore island, where the surrounding coral reefs wow, and a tent, wellstocked coolers, and local snacks greet you back on land. From the scenic flight transfers after touchdown at Nadi International Airport to Champagne hidden at lookout points in the rainforest, Nanuku organizes every aspect of your Fiji vacation, beginning to end.

LITTLE POLYNESIAN RESORT Rarotonga, Cook Islands

KEN SEET

One of the South Pacific’s smallest countries, the Cook Islands is finally receiving some welldeserved attention thanks to the designation of its first Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) on its capital island, Rarotonga. Say hello to Little Polynesian Resort, a 14-bungalow, boutique property nestling the jaw-dropping, palm tree–lined, white-sand beachfront of the island’s serene and undiscovered southeast coastline—a special place where the outside world quickly disappears.

The resort’s SLH appointment coincides with a modernizing face-lift inside and out (think: reimagined landscaping, new roofing and soft goods, Nespresso machines, and turndown amenities), as well as an enhanced wine program and a revamped restaurant with more Polynesian bites (try the house-made coconut and cranberry granola at breakfast and the ika mata, a coconut-milk fish ceviche, at lunch). But at its core, Little Polynesian stands out as an unfussy paradise—a throwback to beachfront luxury pre-globalization. It’s not a place for high technology or butler service, but rather a sanctuary where the simple life is the good life.

FOUR SEASONS RESORT MAURITIUS AT ANAHITA Anahita, Mauritius In the shadow of the towering Bambou Mountains of Mauritius’ northeast coast, Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita remains one of the Indian Ocean’s best-kept secrets despite its glossy brand backing. Unlike its high-rising stateside counterparts, this Four Seasons is composed exclusively of individual villas and residences, each more sumptuous than the next.

Or, go for the gold in the new Four-Bedroom Premium Deluxe Residence

For a locale so exotic, Rarotonga is easier to access than anticipated, with direct flights from Los Angeles on Air New Zealand. As you make your way through the Cook Islands’ 15 distinct isles, tack on a few nights in nearby Aitutaki, resting comfortably at Little Polynesian’s sister property, the 27-bungalow Pacific Resort Aitutaki.

Le Château Frontenac (above right) is a great base for exploring Old Québec, to include witnessing the changing of the guard and savoring local foods and spirits, like Aux Anciens Canadiens’ Pea Soup Grand-Mère and Bistro L’Atelier’s Cowgirl cocktail.

064_WEEKENDER_1217.indd 64

There’s something undeniably romantic about Québec City.

Take Le Château Frontenac, par exemple. Whether it’s your first or hundredth visit to this charming Canadian metropolis, an initial glimpse of Frontenac catches your breath like a fairy tale come to life. Cue Beauty. Cue Beast.

Though nowhere near the colonial French city’s oldest structure, Frontenac has been a star of the Québec riverfront skyline for more than 100 years. Much like the Floridian hotels Henry Flagler built, Frontenac opened in 1893 as a luxury stopover for wealthy railroad patrons. Now a Fairmont hotel (fairmont. com/frontenac-quebec), it continues to dominate the premium market and set a cosmopolitan tone for a city as European as it gets in North America.

Québec’s heritage rests on its military past. Walk the wall around the old city for an overview of its many fortifications, including the still-functioning citadel. In summer, time your visit to the changing of the guard ceremony, complete with a marching band, bear-skin hats, and a goat mascot named Batisse.

Afterward, let Old Québec’s steep, twisty cobblestone streets take you where they will—to monuments, green parks, gardens, churches, art and history museums, galleries, furriers, and restaurants, microbreweries, cafés, and bakeries that are worth the trip alone.

Naturally, New France, as it was once known, is heavy on continental cuisine,

most gloriously its breads, pastries, and sweets.

Head to Paillard (paillard.ca), where divine croissants make a strong case for abandoning sensible dining. True Québécois cuisine, however, has its own character. Think: Lumberjack meets Escoffier. La Buche Cuisine Québécoise (restolabuche.com) excels in the genre. It oneups folk staple poutine by adding duck confit to the requisite french fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. Another gem, Aux Anciens Canadiens (auxancienscanadiens.qc.ca), a culinary tradition, resides nearby in a circa-1675 home.

Escape the city walls to discover the vibrant nightlife and nouvelle cuisine of nearby Grande Allée. For a contemporary contrast, try ultramodern Bistro L’Atelier (bistrolatelier.com), which touts craft cocktails and tartare tapas.

In Lower Town, art galleries, more superb restaurants, the excellent Musée de la Civilisation (mcq.org), and day cruises along the St. Lawrence River await. Two trendy lodgings in historic digs—Hotel 71 (hotel71.ca) and Auberge Saint-Antoine (saint-antoine.com)—exude the hip vibe that keeps Old Québec young and travelers of all ages ever enchanted. «

A MODERN CLASSIC Gene and Christine Pressman host a highstyle holiday soiree to match sophisticated surroundings

BY LINDA MARX PHOTOGRAPHY BY JERRY RABINOWITZ

A home should tell a story—of where you’ve been and where you’re going, who you are and whom you hold most dear. Gene and Christine Pressman’s West Palm Beach condominium illuminates a life well-curated, both in terms of belongings and experiences. At no time is that history more prevalent than when this chic couple invites friends over to celebrate the holidays.

The Pressmans’ fashionable legacy began in 1923, when Gene’s grandfather founded Barneys New York, a discount clothing store on Seventh Avenue that would eventually morph into a mecca for all things luxe and earn the sobriquet “the coolest store in the world.” Gene joined the family business in the 1970s and spent almost 30 years designing luxury retail and restaurants while working as creative director and co-CEO, often alongside such architects and designers as Peter Marino and Andrée Putman.

“I translated what I learned during my work at Barneys to design our apartment,” says Gene.

“Barneys was all about the Pressman family, and that is why people came in. My mom is creative, and my dad had an extraordinary eye. I learned from my parents, then developed my own style.”

Though he’s no longer involved with Barneys, Gene has tapped his design sense to enhance projects like The James Chicago, where he curated the art program and designed the interiors. Now he’s venturing, selectively, into home design and art curation.

Gene’s point of view is practical, utilizing good design without clutter and a modern look with vintage charm augmented by a sense of humor. Well-traveled and savvy, he loves to scour European auctions and flea markets for one-of-a-kind pieces, like his Austrian turn-of84 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

“

I leave the decoration and design to Gene.

He loves it enough for both of us.”

—Christine Pressman

the-century Karl Hagenauer brass candlesticks and whimsical sports figures, a Josef Hoffmann cut-glass bowl in fluted form, a Marcel Breuer bent plywood side table, and a striking Murano vase he found in Venice.

Gene, who, quite literally, wrote a book on being cool (a 2007 release about the intersection of business and culture entitled Chasing Cool), isn’t afraid to be different, often opting to mix things up instead of being monolithic. “I don’t like the room to look like a decorator did it,” he says. “Something timeless and well-designed will work with other pieces. I mix and match seventeenth century with 1950s and ’60s French deco, Italian modern, etc. I can do this because I have confidence in myself.”

Christine, a former model and actress who holds a degree in psychology and is a real estate agent for Douglas Elliman in New York, shares her husband’s passion for aesthetics and style. Together, the Pressmans are energetic alchemists who host magical dinner parties. For their latest holiday soiree, they invited a diverse group of friends into their couture condo overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway to enjoy small bites by chef Clay Conley (owner of Buccan, Imoto, and Grato), delicious desserts baked by Christine, and Gene’s nuanced approach to holiday decor.

“I love Christmas, and really like hosting, baking, and helping people meet each other at our parties,” says Christine. “While [it’s] a team sport, I leave the decoration and design to Gene. He loves it enough for both of us.”

In the living room, Gene perched a pair of glowing palms—his answer to the traditional tree—into circular majolica jardinieres he purchased at a Paris flea market. Hand-painted

084_XMAS_1217.indd 87

Gene crafted a colorful table setting (opposite page), culling items from his own collection. Chef Clay Conley prepared a buffet of small bites that included Peking duck tacos, an assortment of sushi, and other raw items, like Japanese snapper.

1940s Christmas ornaments, gifts from New York art dealer Anthony DeLorenzo, graced the centerpiece on the dining table. White roses and calla lilies were scattered throughout, many displayed in clean-lined Swedish shot glasses because, as Christine puts it, “Gene loves them.”

Everyone in attendance was ready for a festive evening, including Mookie, the Pressmans’

14-year-old Schnauzer, who donned a spiffy Santa ensemble for the occasion. Guests milled around the living room, sipping cocktails and remarking on their hosts’ impeccable taste.

“Gene is the maestro of fashion and design,” said David McClymont, Gene’s golfing buddy and the executive director of the Palm Beach Symphony. “He is also intellectual and humorous, kind and thoughtful.”

Dan Standen, a private equity investor from Miami Beach and Gene’s partner in some design projects, agreed. “Gene has tremendous taste for unusual pieces that are found off the beaten path,” he said. “Their apartment is a great eclectic mix.”

As timeless music played in the background, attendees splintered off into smaller conversations, occupying Wiener Werkstätte barrel-back armchairs, Austrian Art Deco club chairs, and a 1960s Ueli Berger sectional sofa the Pressmans had covered in a Moroccan kilim by designer Peter Marino, a longtime friend.

Attendees raved about the Asian-inspired dinner spread and their hosts. “You never know what to expect with Gene and Christine,” remarked Marianne Strelec.

“They are so much fun to be around.”

coffee table made of birdseye maple veneer sat atop a geometric rug and beneath a 1969 oil on canvas by American painter Robert Zakanitch.

“Gene has wonderful furnishings and an eye for great color, which I love,” remarked Wyatt Koch, a Palm Beach– based designer of bold men’s shirts. “As a couple, Gene and Christine are creative, artistic, and filled with energy.”

As dinnertime approached, Conley displayed his culinary creations on an assortment of vintage French deco platters. Beautiful plates—from various decades and each with its own backstory—were stacked elegantly on the counter, alongside classic white Barneys New York plates, a nod to Gene’s family history.

Guests gathered at the resin Eero Saarinen for Knoll dinner table perched beneath a metal-and-fiber-optic chandelier that looked like it was floating, supported only by the room’s effervescent holiday spirit. A wine and fruit scene painted by a Japanese artist was an apropos complement to Gene’s festive tablescape. He mixed and matched French china with hand-painted Creil M&C Montereau and Susie Cooper English deco plates as well as 88

Georg Jensen Parallel patterned silver flatware and goblets from Gene’s own glass and crystal collection. English ceramic artist Clarice Cliff’s vintage porcelain Ravel Bizarre demitasse cups and saucers for Royal Staffordshire made an appearance for coffee and dessert.

For the buffet meal, Conley crafted an Asianinspired menu with a touch of comfort food.

The spread included edamame, Peking duck tacos, tuna tataki, Japanese snapper, a gener-

ous assortment of sashimi and nigiri, mushrooms and squash, grilled strip steak, pizza slices, and the ever-popular hot dog panini.

Christine’s desserts didn’t disappoint, either.

Guests gushed over her cheesecake, pecan pie, and extra special “West Tenth Street Brownies,” a treat she’s been perfecting for the last decade.

“I took a brownie-baking class in 2007, the year I married Gene,” explains Christine. “My teacher found the recipe lying on Tenth Street

in New York’s Greenwich Village. Written on the recipe were the words, ‘Best brownies in the world!’ I have been baking them ever since.”

After dinner, sated guests walked around the apartment admiring signed works of art from Gene’s famous friends, such as Peter Max and David Hockney. There was even a personal Christmas card from Andy Warhol. As a serious collector, Gene has catalogued and preserved all of the important memorabilia from his heady days in New York City’s fascinating world of fashion, art, society, and design.

Heading down the hallway to depart for his drive back to Miami Beach, Dan Standen gave high praise to the hosts for a wonderful holiday party filled with new friends, laughter, great design, culture, and conversation. As he reflected upon an Alexander Calder sketch, a famous Henri Cartier-Bresson photograph, and a romantic Brassai (Gyula Halasz) image of Paris at night, Standen shared a secret: “The reason this collection is so unique and unusual is because if someone else has it, Gene doesn’t want it.”

It seems Gene applies this one-of-a-kind axiom to many facets of his life. Whether he’s running a legendary department store, accumulating pieces for his private home, or curating a haute holiday experience, he believes opting for the unique will always yield memorable results. «

FEAST

ON THE FARM

Jodi and Darrin Swank started Swank Specialty Produce by growing three greens—lettuce, basil, and arugula—on the 20-acre Loxahatchee plot they purchased in 1999. Today, their farm abounds with more than 350 varieties of organic produce. From December through April, the Swanks invite chefs to turn their crops into alfresco feasts as part of the popular Swank Table series. This season, Jodi and Darrin are augmenting their farm-to-table offerings to include a greater bounty: family-style brunches and a new Master Chef experience featuring culinary artists from Florida and across the country. The latter will pose an elevated take on Swank Table dinners, with canapes and a welcome cocktail followed by a five-course plated meal that will highlight the presenting chefs’ signature dishes. Guests at the Master Chef evenings can also take part in hydroponic farm tours and listen to live music, with a portion of proceeds from the festivities benefiting a local charity. The first of the dinners takes place December 2 and stars chefs from the Diplomat Restaurant Group out of Hollywood, Florida.

Happy

Days

Happy hour can be a daily high point, but it’s hard to be happy on a constant diet of Buffalo wings and fried mozzarella. Restaurants are starting to solve that dilemma by offering healthier bites during cocktail hour. Here are a few of the most intriguing. —Mark Spivak

Echo Some of the area’s best sushi is available at half-price on weekdays from 5 to 6:30 p.m., paired with half-off drinks from the Dragonfly Lounge. Patrons may choose from more than a dozen varieties of sushi by the piece, along with specialties such as tuna tataki, spicy yellow tail sashimi, seaweed sunomono salad, and a large assortment of rolls. Whether you sit in the lounge, terrace, or tranquil outdoor garden, it’s a great way to experience The Breakers’ pan-Asian restaurant. Palm Beach (561-802-4222, thebreakers.com/dining/echo)

121 Tapas on the Water Strategically located in the Fort Pierce Marina, 121 provides a sunset view over the water along with a tasty selection of small plates. Locals love the seafood specialties, like deshelled king crab, U-10 scallops with jalapeño and corn chutney, and shrimp ceviche tostadas with coconut and cilantro.

Although cocktails are absent, there’s a good selection of wine and craft beer, and the handful of sidewalk tables are dog-friendly. Fort Pierce (772-781-0943, 121melody.com)

Apeiro Kitchen and Bar Apeiro focuses on the cooking of the Mediterranean basin, from Morocco and Italy to Greece and Portugal. Happy hour delights include a forest mushroom flatbread, eggplant croquettes, and pita served with a trio of spreads (hummus, caponata, and pistachio yogurt), available daily until 6:30 p.m.

Wash it down with house-made sangria and specialty cocktails, such as a blood orange margarita or Santorini martini, and discover why many in the Mediterranean live a longer, more carefree life.

Delray Beach (561-501-4443, delray.apeirorestaurants.com) 112

Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar At Harvest, the emphasis is on “sustainable, health-conscious, and locally sourced cuisine.”

Not surprisingly, the happy hour menu—available daily from 3 to 6 p.m. and from 9 p.m. to close—also changes with the seasons.

The current selections include a pear and bleu flatbread with a fig glaze, edamame three ways (salty, spicy, and sweet), and crispy brussels sprouts, accompanied by seasonal cocktails and sangrias that incorporate cold-pressed juices. Best of all, most items are under 500 calories and GMO-free. Delray Beach (561-266-3239, harvestseasonalgrill.com)

Mussel Beach The formula here is made for shellfish lovers: Choose any mussel bowl and take $10 off the original price from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. The sauces range from lobster bisque to Florentine (spinach, shallots, roasted garlic cream, and fennel) and Thai (curry, coconut, lemongrass, and ginger). The mussels themselves are imported fresh daily from Prince Edward Island. Diners will also find crab cake sliders, chicken pot stickers, and cod lettuce wraps to complement half-priced wine, beer, and cocktails. Delray Beach (561-921-6464, musselbeachrestaurant.com)

PAIR UP Wine lovers are familiar with the reflexive mid-bite pause— the eye-opening jolt resulting from a perfectly balanced pairing.

Magic ensues as the food and wine intermingle, enhancing the dish’s flavors and revealing the vintage’s intricacies. The pursuit of this spellbinding sensation is what makes oenophiles and Francophiles alike flock to The Parisian, where an impressive selection of vino (including new additions like Grand-Puy Ducasse, Ducru-Beaucaillou, and Château Talbot, as well as 30 wines by the glass) couples with a contemporary take on the traditional French brasserie. Now, wine enthusiasts have another reason to rejoice: Owner Tarzi Benazzouz recently launched monthly wine dinners. The four-course exploration of French cuisine gives fron rice and grilled baby zucchinis, escargot feuilletés, and The Parisian’s version of mille-feuille, a Napoleon Josephine with fresh strawberries. Boutique and well-known wines from around the

PHO PHENOMENON VISITORS TO VIETNAM ARE FREQUENTLY IMPRESSED WITH THE HEALTHY ASPECTS OF THE CUISINE, WHICH RELIES ON AN ARRAY OF HERBS AND SPICES TO DAZZLE THE PALATE. ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR DISHES, PHO (PRONOUNCED “FUH”), A REDUCED BEEF BROTH WITH NOODLES AND VEGETABLES, HAS TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD SINCE THE VIETNAM WAR. THESE LOCAL SPOTS DO JUSTICE TO THIS ASIAN DELICACY. —M.S.

MOST AUTHENTIC: PHO 16 This unassuming storefront serves up some of the best Vietnamese food in the area. There are 15 varieties of beef pho, with garnishes that include brisket, shrimp, and free-range chicken.

Each order arrives in a large bowl filled with rice noodles, greens, onions, peppers, and scallions, as well as the traditional fixings (Thai basil, cilantro, limes, jalapeños, bean sprouts, and chili sauce). West Palm Beach (561-471-0901)

Along with offering a variety of Vietnamese dishes, Vietnamese Express Café puts diners in total control of their pho. First choose a broth (beef, chicken, sweet and sour, hot and spicy, or vegetable). Next, select egg or flat rice noodles, vermicelli, or white jasmine rice. Top it off with your pick of protein: thin rare beef, chicken, or pork can swim beside tofu and five seafood items.

Basilic’s expansive menu is highlighted by a pho based around beef, chicken, vegetables, or seafood. It’s authentic but geared toward the American palate, so let your server know if you want it spicy. Boca Raton (561-409-4964)

COCKTAIL CORNER Woodford Frost

In an age when calories were counted less frequently, the Alexander was a staple of cocktail culture. Consisting of equal parts crème de cacao, cream, and some form of alcohol, it was simple enough that anyone could make it. The most popular version was the Brandy Alexander, most appropriately sipped by ladies in mink coats as they gazed out on a snow-covered landscape.

A variation of the drink, the Woodford Frost, is experiencing a revival at 50 Ocean, a waterfront eatery with more sand than snow on its horizon.

General manager Mark DeAtley substitutes Woodford Reserve for the brandy, and uses peppermint schnapps and Godiva white chocolate liqueur in place of the crème de cacao. “The bourbon and mint work very well together,” he says.

“The schnapps adds a touch of candy cane for the holidays.” Delray Beach (561-278-3364, 50ocean.com) —M.S.

Godiva white chocolate liqueur 1/4 oz. half and half A pirouette cookie and shaved dark chocolate for garnish Combine ingredients, shake well, strain into a martini glass, and garnish with a pirouette cookie and shaved dark chocolate.

KEN GOODM AN

PBI: Where do you eat when you’re in town for the festival?

Murphy: The Regional. I walked in and fell in love with it, and the food was fantastic. It’s at the top of my list to go back to. If I can squeeze in a nice little meal at Daniel’s [Café Boulud], that’s always good. And we always hit Buccan and Imoto.

What would we find if we looked in your fridge?

Capers, anchovies, and mustard. I use those ingredients a lot. I made a bean stew the other day and put a few fillets of anchovies in there to give it some backbone.

Favorite kitchen tool?

Aside from my chef’s knife, a Japanese mandoline. I love slicing garlic on that. I’m unapologetic with garlic.

What would your last meal consist of?

I would definitely make myself a big bowl of carbonara. I went to boarding school in New Hampshire, and when I didn’t want cafeteria food I used to make it on a hot plate.

Entering its second decade of epicurean events, the eleventh annual Palm Beach Food and Wine Festival returns December 14-17. This year’s celebration includes three new experiences: a Sunday Brunch in Paradise at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, a tasting hosted by Daniel Boulud in Café Boulud’s garden, and an Italian feast at Café Sapori with chefs Fabrizio Giorgi, Chicago’s Tony Mantuano, and Manhattan’s Marc Murphy. A fixture at the festival since its Jeff Mauro and Marc inception, Murphy will transform inspiration from Murphy at the 2015 festival his recent trip to Italy into one unforgettable meal.

You post a lot of pasta photos on Instagram.

How do you stay fit?

I love to run. It’s basically the only time I can be by myself. It’s great for my travel schedule [because] it’s just a pair of shoes, shorts, and a shirt. You can do it anywhere, and it allows you to see the city. I was in Rome recently and ran in the [Villa] Borghese gardens. I was like, okay! Nothing wrong with this!

If you could have dinner with one person, living or dead, who would it be?

I’ve always been a fan of Winston Churchill. He’s an interesting guy and looked like he liked to eat, drink, and smoke cigars, so he’d probably be fun to hang out with.

Martell ChÂteau de Chanteloup

Cracking the Cognac Code Despite their common beginnings, not all Cognacs are created equal

BY MARK SPIVAK

E

arly on, most bartenders and sommeliers learn the mantra, “All Cognac is brandy, but not all brandy is Cognac.”

The distinction is an important one: Brandy is produced in many countries around the world, but Cognac comes only from the town and region of the same name in southwestern France, north of Bordeaux. The spirit is made from grapes. On their own, those varieties (Ugni Blanc, Folle Blanche, and Colombard) produce uninspired wine, but they soar in quality when distilled twice in a copper pot

still and aged in French oak barrels.

Barrel aging is one of the keys to Cognac.

Two years is the minimum for VS (Very Special), four years for VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale). As of next April, Napoléon will be required to spend six years in cask, and the threshold for XO (Extra Old) will be 10. Specialty cognacs labeled Hors d’Age (Beyond Age) are technically equivalent to XO, but many houses use this designation for their very best products.

Blending is the other crucial component of

Cognac quality. The major houses have stocks of Cognac that go back more than a century, and the cellar master blends those spirits to achieve a house style. Consistency is key: The Fillioux family at Hennessy has been overseeing the blending for eight generations.

Looking for a special bottle of holiday Cognac? Here are our top picks.

XO: While you can get a good bottle of VSOP for $50-$80, XO is where this category really begins to shine. Most of the U.S. retail space is occupied by the usual suspects:

Rémy Martin features flavors of candied orange, plums, hazelnuts, and cinnamon.

TROY EVANS

Hennessy ($190), Courvoisier ($140), Rémy Martin ($160), and Martell ($190). As with nonvintage Champagne, the styles are consistent from year to year. Hennessy is layered and complex, with chocolate flavors and undertones of citrus and spice; Courvoisier is softer and fruitier, while Rémy exhibits floral and exotic notes. A personal favorite is Martell Cordon Bleu ($150), a rich and distinctive blend with hints of caramel and gingerbread. Off the beaten track, Delamain ($110) and Baron Otard ($155) are also good bets.

The best American brandy is GermainRobin, distilled from high-quality Pinot Noir in the hills of Mendocino, California. Some experts actually prefer its XO ($120) to the French versions.

President Ronald Reagan was also an avid fan, and served it to both Mikhail Gorbachev and François Mitterrand.

LUXURY COGNAC: Experienced Cognac customers know to separate the product from the window dressing, as many brands inflate prices by packaging it in crystal decanters studded with precious stones. The most famous luxury Cognac is Rémy’s Louis XIII, which starts at around $3,000 for the regular bottling (with the Black Pearl limited edition running about $25,000). Hennessy Paradis ($865) is elegant and lilting, with vibrant, spicy edges.

The Richard Hennessy ($4,200) is better: a blend of 100 Cognacs, some dating back to 1830, filled with a sensory overload of bright fruit flavors. Perhaps the best combination of form and function is the Hine 250th Anniversary Edition ($17,000), a 1953 vintage Cognac bottled in Baccarat crystal.

A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN: Among the most rare and prized Cognacs are single vintages, like

the Hine. The world’s oldest Cognac, authenticated by Guinness, was a bottle of 1762 Gautier sold at auction in 2014 for $60,000.

If you have a Napoléon complex, consider Grande Champagne Château de Compiegne 1818 ($85,000 to $90,000), part of the emperor’s personal collection. But the most expensive of all time? That would be the 1858 Croizet Cuvée Leonie, purchased for $156,700 in 2011. «

Piper Gonzalez of Piper Gonzalez Designs was tasked with putting a modern spin on a traditional Palm Beach Gardens dining room. The catch? She had to incorporate some existing items, including a large table and a dark rug. With a few smart decorating tricks, she was able to significantly alter the room for the better.

“I used tall panels of natural grass cloth, clean lines in the drapery, and elongated lighting fixtures with metallic leafing to draw the eye up and lighten the space,” she explains.

The sconces and chandelier are oneof-kind pieces made

TONI HOLLIS Joins Waterfront Properties & Club Communities

When asked about Palm Beach real estate legend Toni Hollis, Waterfront Properties Managing Partner Rob Thomson cut right to the chase: “I’ve known hundreds of realtors in my career but few have had the endless energy Toni does. I am amazed at her instant recall of details on pretty much every property in Palm Beach. Her memory is like a vault.”

Hollis is a historian of the island’s real estate, with deep and complex knowledge of the transactional real value of the property over the long history of the homes. Thomson added, “We have incredible research tools. Sellers now have Toni Hollis, as well. She might be the deepest database on the subject of Palm Beach real estate.”

Among Hollis’ many noteworthy sales are Worth Avenue’s Gucci Building, the Firestone Estate (which Hollis sold twice), Casa Nana, the so-called Ham-and-Cheese House, and the lakefront home at 1000 N. Lake Way in Palm Beach (which Hollis sold five times). “Toni is an icon,” Thomson com-

mented. “I knew that. I didn’t fully appreciate the woman is a machine.”

In keeping with Hollis’ need to be “in the action,” the Waterfront Properties Building is located at 333 Peruvian Avenue, in the heart of Palm Beach.

Waterfront Properties and Club Communities is already well known as the Northern Palm Beaches and Treasure Coast’s dominant real estate company, for decades accelerating some of the highest profile transactions in the area’s exclusive waterfront and golf communities.

“Our model focuses on agent freedom,” Thomson commented. “We enable agents to concentrate on their core responsibility—selling homes. Successful marketing is an asset to anyone.”

Waterfront’s position in the international market space was another attraction for Hollis. “Everyone says they have a ‘global’ network. But to actually have strong relationships with the leading international brokers, that’s what sells houses.”

Waterfront Properties is unique in how it supports agents. A well over seven figure annual Internet marketing and advertising budget is at the disposal of 20 marketing people working in Waterfront’s headquarters. A fixture in the relatively small international luxury real estate market, Waterfront is a leading member of the Luxury Real Estate (LRE) group, sitting on the group’s Board for the past 10 years. LRE’s members come from more than 70 countries and sell over $300 billion in real estate annually. In October, Waterfront Properties attended LRE’s latest event, in Canada, where it received the Best Website award and presented multiple clients’ properties to the group of international brokers.

“I’ve known Rob Thomson since he was a very young man.

Back then he told me what I thought were pretty fabulous tales of how he planned to innovate how the business of real estate is done. Well, he’s done that and much, much more.”

Hollis continued, “We’re only a few months in and I have more tools than ever before.”

Rob Thomson talked about the perfect storm of opportunity Palm Beach presents. “The island has the homes that international buyers want. Toni knows the island better than anyone. And now, she has a culture and a team focused on providing her clients an outsized opportunity to market and sell their homes of distinction to buyers with the wherewithal and motivation to buy.”

So, why Waterfront? “I’ve spent my entire career doing all my own marketing. I was pretty good at it too. But, boy did it take up a lot of time.” Time that Waterfront contends would be better focused on every agent’s top priorities—sellers and buyers.

The Venetian Palazzo at The Bear’s Club sits on two acres of perfectly manicured grounds surrounded by preserve land. Completed in 2009, this extraordinary residence and its formal gardens are reminiscent of the beautiful and unique architecture and art of northern Italy. Between a kitchen designed for a gourmet chef, a 245-bottle wine room, an impressive library with built-in walnut bookshelves, a 37,000-gallon swimming pool and the custom hand-painted murals on all ceilings, the estate is truly a one-of-a-kind masterpiece in Jack Nicklaus’ world-class golf club.

Balance As the Western world looks to the East, ancient therapies like crystal healing are gaining mainstream appeal. These stones, believed to emit energetic vibrations, are popping up in moisturizers and makeup, and even The Spa at The Breakers features a massage bed filled with warm quartz sand. But can the presence of amethyst really encourage restful sleep?

Can citrine inspire self-confidence and joy? Does rose quartz actually amplify feelings of unconditional love? “I see crystals as a tool for awakening consciousness and mindfulness,” says Margaret Ann Lembo, author of The Essential Guide to Crystals, Minerals, and Stones (Llewellyn Publications, $25) and owner of The Crystal Garden, where visitors can find pocket-size stones and museum-quality statement pieces. She explains that when placed on a desk or bedside table with an associated intention, crystals can help a person uncover what’s preventing them from realizing a desired outcome. “The rock doesn’t do it—you do it. Healing begins with awareness.” And, their obvious beauty doesn’t hurt a room’s decor, either. Boynton Beach (561-369-2836, thecrystalgarden.com)

INVESTING

WITH CAUTION Consider these factors when navigating today’s financial landscape

By Judy Martel gressional approval, says Leo Chen, Ph.D., a professor at the Muma College of Business at the University of South Florida. “There are too many ‘ifs’ for investors right now,” he adds. “Everyone wants to know what to do if the Trump plans go through.”

Chen believes investors should keep a watchful eye but adopt a waitand-see attitude. The Federal Reserve has been cautious in its rate hikes in order to allow the economy to keep up, while the market has been reacting to rumors of government reform. “The stock market is trying to figure out some direction and timeline,” he says.

It’s never a good idea to put your money in the market based on whether certain government initiatives will become reality, but it is smart to pay attention to how they might affect you if they do. The administration’s tax reform plan, for example, would give investors reason to celebrate, especially those who depend on investment income.

The new plan calls for lower marginal tax rates, with income from capital gains and dividends taxed at 50 percent of the marginal rate, which will put more money into investors’ pockets.

P

resident Trump’s election victory coincided with record stock market returns—the so-called “Trump bump”—that sent euphoric investors into a frenzy of equity buying. Although the Federal Reserve has signaled confidence in the economy with gradual interest rate hikes, there’s plenty of healthy uncertainty among experts about whether the United States can sustain its growth.

WHAT’S AN INVESTOR TO DO? In the wake of the election, certain sectors of the stock market, particularly financial and transportation companies, responded well to the president’s promises, but many of his initiatives have yet to gain con-

THE THUNDERING HERD Before making any changes to your financial portfolio, revisit your personal goals and time horizon, says Chen. Cash flow into stocks has soared since the election, but that doesn’t mean you should rush into equities. “All the hunger for yield and fear of missing out was driving investors into the equity market,” he explains. But ignoring the stability that fixed income provides by shifting the bulk of your assets into higher-yielding equities could be a mistake.

“Every individual is different in terms of time horizon and risk tolerance, but we all know people shouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket,” says Chen. Investors are sometimes too quick to follow the herd, which puts them in danger of forgetting about their individual goals. “All the talk has been about stocks; no one is talking about bonds,” he says.

THE BRITISH

Everybody needs a hobby—especially if your day-to-day worries include squashing a fascist regime and reinstating peace in Europe. In 1915, when he was 40 years old, Winston Churchill took up painting. He turned to this passion throughout his tenure as prime minister of the United Kingdom, finding solace in his colorful canvases of lush vistas, English estates, and beloved vacation spots. The Society of the Four Arts will showcase 28 of Churchill’s paintings, as well as videos, photographs, and personal belongings, in a new exhibition entitled “A Man for All Seasons: The Art of Winston Churchill,” on display December 2 to January 14. In addition to Churchill memorabilia—including partially smoked cigars and a top hat signed by Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin—the show will also present the “Iron Curtain Room,” which will screen segments of his famous Iron Curtain speech and feature an original draft of the address.

Fine art takes a heavy metal turn when the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County opens a Jason Newsted solo exhibition December 1. Newsted, the former bassist for the rock band Metallica and a part-time Jupiter resident, began expressing himself on the canvas more than a decade ago while recovering from shoulder surgeries. Today, he dedicates hours to honing his visual signature, one characterized by explosive color, haunting figures, and the manipulation of text. Nick Korniloff, director of Art Miami, will curate the show, and a portion of the proceeds from art sales will go to The Perry J. Cohen Foundation, an organization founded in memory of Korniloff’s stepson. Other beneficiaries include the Cultural Council and Little Kids Rock, a musical education nonprofit Newsted supports. The exhibition will be on display through February 3, and those interested in learning more about the artist can attend a special Culture & Cocktails event January 8.

British artist Gordon Cheung, with ancestral ties to Hong Kong, has created a remarkable body of paintings and prints known collectively as Breaking Tulips, visually stunning works which draw inspiration directly from the floral masterpieces of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish painters such as Jan Davidsz. de Heem (1606-1684). He starts with the exotic tulip as the ultimate symbol of financial speculation in the burgeoning capitalist society of 17th-century Netherlands which led to one of the most spectacular “bubbles” in the economic history of western Europe. His paintings use various sumptuous still lifes as the starting points for variations on the theme of gradual but ultimate collapse of over-heated markets in the contemporary world.

OTOGRAPHY TARA INC. PH

Aesthetician and skin care savant Tammy Fender knows amazing things can be made in the kitchen. In the early 1990s, she began making organic dermal formulations at home, using plants, herbs, and ancient medicinal principles. She also studied chemistry, botany, and healing therapies before opening her eponymous West Palm Beach wellness spa, Tammy Fender Holistic Skin Care, in 2003. Her award-winning organic products and services have attracted local clients and Hollywood royalty like Anjelica Huston and Julianne Moore. Today, when she’s not playing tennis or meditating, she enjoys spending time at the Village of Golf home she shares with her husband, children, and dog, Luna. —Kerry Shorr
