I

promise you that I’m not going to be cliché about spring and our Spring Issue.

I’ve seen that done one too many times. It’s tired and unoriginal in its message.

All I’ll say is this…

This time last year was the beginning of a very challenging, sad and scary time in history.

Present day sees COVID waning and life getting back to some semblance of familiarity and normalcy, so Betsy and I wanted the Spring Issue to reflect that sense of joy, hope, family, love, and businesses doing what businesses do best – doing business.

So, where to begin?

How about the cover?

Tell me it doesn’t pop and catch your attention. We wanted the cover to raise your curiosity and get you to take a long peek inside. To us, it’s everything we love about Cherry Creek – colorful, happy, fun and sophisticated. Rooftop at The Halcyon was the perfect location, as were our fashion partners, Perch for her and State & Liberty for him.

We all know that models get paid because they don’t eat carbs and they have great smiles. The smiles on these two were especially genuine for this cover shoot, as were the smiles from behind the camera. We were all happy to be doing what we love.

Always smiling when I am with my two boys.

I smiled at the interview that Sean McNamara gave for Man About Town (page 28). You can tell that he’s a great storyteller.

I smiled at the gorgeous yellow-themed items in Cherry Picked (page 16), the shows and books we love in our first His & Hers View Master (page 38), and the stunning contemporary property in Homecoming (page 40).

I smiled at Brian and Brook Griese’s hearts of gold in their creation of Judi’s House (Page 55), as well as Brian’s professional journey that has landed him on Monday Night Football (page 58).

I smiled at the memory of driving the new Lamborghini Urus for four days (page 36), hitting speeds that would land me in jail (if caught), and getting the opportunity to hear that four-wheeled masterpiece roar that beautiful engine roar.

I smiled remembering our trip to The Broadmoor and escapes to The Little Nell and Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa, and all the incredible amenities and experiences that these otherworldly resorts offer in Road Trip (page 46).

I smiled at two new cocktail destinations right next door to each other with Forget Me Not and Five Nines (page 24 & 60).

I smiled at a rare and unforgettable date night with Betsy to Barolo Grill and what went down in He Said, She Said (page 26).

I smiled at the brand new, drop dead gorgeous Clayton Members Club + Hotel (page 60).

Look at me – smiling like an idiot.

But I am proud of this issue and what Betsy and I have put together here.

Cherry Creek is such a special place, and we’re honored to be a part of it.

Thanks so much for your support and putting us on your coffee table or your night stand.

Cheers,

THE LOCATION

SHOT ON LOCATION AT HALCYON, A HOTEL IN CHERRY CREEK halcyonhotelcherrycreek.com

THE BEAUTY “For the spring cover shoot, everything needed to be fresh and light! We wanted Nicole’s natural beauty to stand out while also complementing her stunning orchid suit. We gave her skin a flawless finish, kept the eyes light and natural, and matched her lip to the wardrobe with both a matte lipstick and a sheer gloss. All of this was achieved using Flaunt You! Cosmetics - a local custom cosmetics brand available at The Look. The best part? Every single product is free of gluten, parabens, phthalates, oils, sulfates, corn, fragrance, and GMOs.”

“There’s no better place to take in all that is Cherry Creek than rooftop at the Halcyon. One of our favorite places to unwind, Elevated Rooftop bar is inspiring in both its views and its thoughtfully designed outdoor art.

The hotel is known for its expansive modern and pop art collection, boasting over 750 pieces individually curated by Nine dot Arts. Perhaps most notably is Yiannis George Bellis' Pixilated Eye installation.

Close up, the mural is a chromatic mix of square tiles. Yet at a distance, a larger than life eye is revealed. Both for its colors and its content, we knew this piece was the perfect backdrop for the cover of our Spring Issue.”

THE PHOTOGRAPHER “Whenever I’m photographing for a magazine cover my goal is to produce an image that is welcoming to the reader and captivating to the eye. Given the spring theme for this particular shoot, we wanted to use bold colors that were complementary to the fashion, yet not distracting from the focal point – the models. The multi-colored tile wall on the pool deck of the Halcyon provided us with the perfect backdrop for a dynamic, bright, fun image!”

-Frances Marron Kelley francesphotography.com

Though! , ce a l k ec N t Tha

THE FASHION EVERY YEAR, THE SPRING SEASON IS ONE THAT EXCITES US, AS WITH IT COMES WARMER WEATHER, THE FIRST SIGNS OF GREENERY AND LONGER SUNNY DAYS. THIS YEAR, IN PARTICULAR, SEEMED CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION. AS WE BEGIN TO REEMERGE AS A COMMUNITY, WE WANTED TO APPLAUD THE NOTION OF GETTING “DRESSED” AGAIN. WE DID SO WITH A STATEMENT MAKING SUIT BY VERONICA BEARD THAT WE FOUND AT PERCH DENVER, AND A BOLD BLUE JACKET AND LIGHT SLACKS FROM STATE & LIBERTY.

Shopping Center is one that we’re eagerly anticipating. Known for its relaxed yet refined California style, Vince’s luxury wares include women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, shoes, home and handbags. Looks are simple, yet decidedly sophisticated and are made with the finest fabrics and attention to detail.

The brand, which has 48 freestanding retail storefronts across the country, blends well with Denver’s laid back yet stylish lifestyle.

The Cherry Creek location will mark Vince’s first store in Colorado.

Stay Golden Also opening in Cherry Creek Shopping Center is indie footwear brand Golden Goose. The Italian high fashion sneaker line started more than 20 years ago in Venice, and has since gone on to reach cult-like status with trendsetters across the globe. The shoes, which are known for their high level of distressing and unmistakable vintage look, are all handmade and individually manufactured – hence their price tag at $600 a pop. Available in both women’s, men’s and children’s styles, the Cherry Creek store will be the brand’s second in Colorado, with the first having opened in Aspen late last year.

Simply Brilliant The High Jewelry category at Tiffany is one of incredible awe and breathtaking beauty. It features the world’s most spectacular colored gemstones and diamonds set in remarkable designs. This year’s Spring 2021 collection, Artistry and Brilliance, is no exception. The collection is on its North America tour through the summer, and will make its stop in Cherry Creek from May 13-16.

Artistry and Brilliance includes a large assortment of exceptional, one-of-a-kind jewelry designs along with a careful curation of loose connoisseur gemstones, allowing clients to design their own bespoke creation with the help of a Tiffany designer.

This spring’s collection is truly a showcase of Tiffany’s rich heritage and is divided into three categories - colored gemstones, white diamonds and rare fancy color diamonds. It highlights the brand’s craftsmanship, design and commitment to diamond traceability.

In October 2020, Tiffany marked an industry first by sharing the full journey of its individually registered diamonds (0.18 carats or larger) by disclosing the country where each stone is crafted and set. This follows the 2019 announcement that Tiffany would be the first global luxury jeweler to provide the provenance of its individually registered diamonds.

IT’ S E L E CT R I C Polestar, the electric performance car brand from Sweden, recently opened its newest retail location in the heart of Denver’s Cherry Creek district at 257 Fillmore Street. Referred to as a Polestar Space, this is the fifth showroom to open its doors in a network that will grow to 19 locations across the United States by the end of the year.

“We chose to open a retail space in Denver in part because of its action plan to help fight climate change and embrace electric vehicles,” said Gregor Hembrough, Head of Polestar in North America. “The opening of this newest location, in partnership with the McDonald Automotive Group, will allow us to reach new customers in the Denver area, with complimentary pickup and delivery servicing for those living anywhere within a 150-mile radius of the showroom.”

The Denver space is designed to supplement the brand’s digital-first retail model. Staffed by non-commissioned Polestar Specialists, the space will give customers the opportunity to experience the vehicles first-hand and ask questions without the pressures that arise from a traditional automotive dealership. Test drives with the brand’s first electric vehicle – the Polestar 2 – can be coordinated onsite or at home via Polestar.com/test-drive.

Polestar also offers a convenient home delivery and service program. Polestar customers living within 150 miles of the Denver space can have their vehicle picked up and dropped off for future servicing free of charge, enabling a convenient Polestar ownership experience without being troubled with the hassles of vehicle service appointments. For customers living beyond the 150-mile delivery radius, the nearest Polestar Space will work to provide the most convenient solution for their needs.

If the Shoe Fits We’ve been impressed with Freebird, the independently owned, Denver-based cousin of Steve Madden, since day one. Handcrafted with quality materials and artistic designs, the rugged collection of boots, shoes and sandals for both men and women has taken a literal and figurative foothold of fashionable Coloradoans since opening its doors in 2009.

Now boasting seven locations across Colorado, Utah and Tennessee, Freebird is growing. The newest location on East 2nd Avenue in Cherry Creek North has the neighborhood talking the talk and walking the walk in designs like the Belfast Bootie for her and the Ace Boot for him.

The one you didn’t expect. The one that you take your first sip of and can see in your guest’s eyes how much they enjoy what is in front of them. I also really enjoy the technique of making frothy egg white cocktails.

Is there one drink in particular that you love to make?

Is there a cocktail with a particularly interesting background or story to it that you like?

Honestly, there’s too many to tell here. It’s why I love bartending so much. Every drink has a story, a history, a reason for its creation. Sharing this with guests and staff gives them that connection to it being more than just a drink.

What’s the most interesting or funniest comment that you’ve overheard from guests while you’re working behind the bar?

“Do you think we should be more like polar bears and ask to share food by touching each others noses together?” To which I of course responded, “You won’t do it.” Definitely not something you will see happening at a bar at this moment in time, but it made for a quite silly rest of the evening.

What’s the oddest drink order you’ve ever received?

PHOTO BY KAYLA JONES

NICOLE LEBEDEVITCH FORGET ME NOT I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, “I need a drink.” We look no further than Cherry Creek for what ails us, and a new watering hole to add to the fray couldn’t come at a better time. New. Exciting. Alluring.

It’s Forget Me Not on Clayton Street and the woman in charge is Nicole Lebedevitch. So, we grabbed a spot at the bar to learn more about Cherry Creek’s newest drinking buddy as she revealed what’s in store for its neighbors.

Talk about the vibe at Forget Me Not. How will it be different from other bars in the neighborhood?

We have created an incredibly special space. This is a cocktail bar, a place to come on in and grab a drink, to wind down from a day of work, to catch up with friends, and to just have fun. The space is intimate and modern and feels as though we are inviting you into our home to enjoy drinks with friends. It is not a restaurant bar like many of our neighbors, but instead it’s a bar in which the focus will simply be on the beauty of the carefully crafted cocktails paired with the perfect snacks, and thoughtful spirits, wine, and beer.

I’ve worked in a lot of restaurant bars and the joke of ‘I could drink this it’s so good’ when referring to a sauce is often overheard. We had a tuna crudo dish on one of our menus and you were often able to catch a guest tilting the plate to their mouths to drink the vinaigrette. One guest finally asked me if I’d be willing to make the vinaigrette into a cocktail.

I’m always up for a challenge. I turned it into a Dirty Gibson with gin, sherry, pickled shallot (which was in the sauce) and the vinaigrette.

Where do you get your inspiration?

I draw inspiration everywhere from books, culinary dishes, visual art and music to travel and, most especially, from my peers and mentors. There is always something new to learn or try and master.

What are some Spring seasonal cocktails that you recommend?

Drink more vermouth and sherry! I’d like to see martinis with more focus on vermouth. Not just what vermouth, but how much vermouth. The floral and herbal notes that make up vermouth and emphasize the spirits they are being mixed into and make some truly beautiful cocktails. Just look at how beautiful an El Presidente (rum, dry vermouth, curacao and grenadine) can be when you carefully choose the ingredients.

Also, sherry cobblers with seasonal fruit and a bountiful garnish.

Come meet Nicole and experience Forget Me Not at 227 Clayton Street.

You’re one of the key players in launching Forget Me Not. How does it feel to be opening such a greatly anticipated space like this in Cherry Creek?

It’s incredibly exciting and I can only hope to have the bar live up to the expectations. With all of the starts and stops of the past year, the anticipation has been killing me and I just cannot wait to share what we’ve built with Cherry Creek and beyond!

What do you know about your Cherry Creek audience? What do they like and appreciate in a place to relax and have some drinks?

Like anyone, we all want nice things and we want to feel special. I just hope that we are able to make everyone who comes into our bar feel as though they are a part of something special. I want everyone to try new things, and to just be genuinely taken care of every time they walk in the front door.

BAROLO GRILL We’re married. We work together. We see each other all the time. So, what could we possibly talk about while out for dinner? Come along on our adventures in dining as we discuss food, family and everything in between.

saying a lot. The Agnolotti alla bolognese was a close second. You loved the Cavatelli with rock shrimp, roasted cauliflower, verdicchio cream sauce and basil crumb, didn’t you?

Kevin: Our server, Jake, sure knew his stuff, didn’t he? Super impressed with his knowledge of the menu, the wine and everything else. He reminded me of the tour guide on that Chicago Architecture Boat Tour we did a few years ago. That guide rattled off facts and history for nearly an hour straight. Unbelievable.

Betsy: When I think of Jake and Chicago, I think of Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles. Just like tonight’s restaurant, that movie is a classic. But I digress. Yes, the menu, the setting, the wine pairings – all impressive as was Jake’s knowledge.

Kevin: When I think of Sixteen Candles, I think of “The donger need food!” And speaking of food, what a way to start everything off with the Speck antipasti with smoked prosciutto, horseradish crema, pistachio, bitter greens and sunchoke chips. It looks too beautiful to eat.

What a presentation. I’ll get this every time.

Your Crudo di hamachi looks amazing too.

Betsy: It was phenomenal. So many flavors coming together there, but somehow it was not overpowering at all. Rich, but light. The perfect pasta dish.

Kevin: That braised beef short rib was life changing.

Thanks for sharing a bite of that with me.

Betsy: For me, that was the star of the show. I knew you would have “order envy” when it arrived and I was right. Short rib can be a dish that’s hard to get right. If it’s overdone or too dry, it loses that melt in your mouth texture.

Tonight, the chef nailed it.

Kevin: These doughnuts are incredible.

Definitely a “Best Dessert” candidate for our Peak of the Creek awards this year.

And these sauces – the huckleberry in particular – are addicting. Let’s order some of these to go.

Betsy: It’s perfect. The yellowtail is light, with just the right amount of kick. It’s buttery and melts in your mouth. I was admittedly skeptical to order this dish at a restaurant rooted in Italian cuisine, but it is exactly as a Crudo should be and then some.

Betsy: Better yet, let’s order them as a surprise for the babysitter. She’s been with two children under three all evening. If we want this to happen again, these doughnuts will seal the deal.

Kevin: So, we’re eating inside of a She Shed.

Genius idea. Warm. Inviting. Is this what you want to put in the backyard?

Betsy: Yes! I live in a house with three males. That said, these structures are incredible. What an intimate, fun dining experience. Such an inventive way for restaurants to evolve in the face of COVID. Necessity really is the mother of invention.

Kevin: I could have eaten half a dozen of those Focaccia rolls.

The butter baked in like that… delicious!

Betsy: Anyone could eat a half dozen of those. But just like no one should watch two kids under three all day, no one should eat half a dozen rolls. Not when there’s a four course tasting menu to be had. With THREE types of pasta, no less!

Kevin: That was a pretty insightful conversation with Jake about how much fresh seafood comes in from around the world on a daily basis to Denver. The Lobster Risotto might be my favorite dish from tonight and I’m not even a seafood guy. That’s

Kevin: You wouldn’t know this because it’s in the men’s room, but there’s a Peyton Manning autographed picture on the wall thanking the restaurant for a great time. He was looking at me while I was washing my hands for the COVID-mandated 30 seconds. Perhaps the best men’s bathroom attendant ever.

Betsy: I am not surprised in the least. The restaurant is an all-star, so it attracts the same. Glad to know you were in good company, though.

Kevin: So, when can we come back? This was wonderful and there’s more on the menu I must try.

Betsy: That depends on how well the doughnuts go over.

Kevin and Betsy Marr are “he” and “she.” They work and live in Denver where they produce Cherry Creek Magazine and raise their two boys under three, all under one roof.

The Perfect White Paint

Peel and Stick Wallpaper

Beyond Black and White

Not all white paint colors are created equal and Pure White from Sherwin-Williams is my favorite. It’s the perfect shade, with no gray, yellow or pink undertones, and is flattering in absolutely any space.

Peel and stick wallpaper is not what it used to be! Today’s options are chic and sophisticated, allowing you to add oomph to your room without the messy process or long-term commitment of traditional wallcoverings. I love this Hydrangea pattern from Rifle Paper Co.

White painted brick and black trim has been a huge trend for the past decade, but it is on its descent. Unless your brick is very dated, think twice before painting it. Painted brick is not only difficult to maintain, but it can take an otherwise classic material and make it too era-specific.

SEAN MCNAMARA JW MARRIOTT CHERRY CREEK What’s the one item he can’t live without? What celebrities are coming to his dinner party? Man About Town Sean McNamara, Area Director of Sales & Marketing for the JW Marriott Cherry Creek, has some stories to tell – including some wild times in the hotel industry. We’re all ears for the man who knows a thing or two about Cherry Creek.

Favorite neighborhood haunts?

This is a shameless plug, but Toro Latin Kitchen and Lounge is the spot to be in the evenings, and it doesn’t hurt that the total travel time from my office is about thirty seconds. The cocktail program is incredible and Chef Oscar puts out amazing Latin fare. I love how the nano-walls open up to the patios. When the weather is nice, it feels like you are outdoors even when you’re sitting in the dining room. Aviano also does a great job as Cherry Creek’s favorite café. They stayed open throughout the pandemic and saw me, masked and ready, every morning. I’ll also mention Barolo Grill because you just don’t see that level of service very often. During my last visit, our server told us how he had been to Italy with the restaurant’s team the last four years in a row to learn the cuisine and wine. He really knew his stuff!

Shopping-wise, I take advantage of the clothiers and tailors in the area. When we say that Cherry Creek is the best of Denver, this is a good example. Balani just made me a suit that will be with me for life. It pains me to have to wear a mask when I’m wearing it. I want to say “Hey, it’s me in this suit, looking this good!” And Erol’s Tailoring does all of my alterations. Both are very seasoned and passionate about their craft and it shows.

What’s the most memorable moment that you’ve witnessed working in the hotel industry?

I worked at a resort in Hawaii that was built next to a historic site where there was a huge battle between native Hawaiians in 1819. It was a sacred burial site and a lot of the locals who worked at the hotel believed the warriors still roamed the grounds. I helped many of our associates set up a ballroom late at night or deliver food in a wing of the hotel they thought might have spirits.

One of my favorite stories was when I learned that one of the women who worked the late shift was leaving cookies out for the ghosts! You grow to love and cherish these hotels and the people who work there. I lived and worked for eight years on the Big Island. I learned to tread lightly, respect the culture and keep an open mind. I learned more from the people that worked for us than they could have ever learned from me.

What’s a surprising fact to working in a hotel that people outside the industry don’t know?

Well, I guess everyone knows this, but they might not think about it. We never close our doors. 24/7. 365 days a year. We’re operating a business and you have to be ready for anything. In fact, when the pandemic hit last spring, we closed the hotel like many others did for about two months. When we closed, we realized that we didn’t have a key to the front door. We had never needed one!

This hotel had been open almost 15 years and we never needed to lock the door! We called the vendor to come out and make us a key and I laughed when he arrived.

I said “I can’t imagine what you must think of us!” He responded with, “Buddy, you’re my fifth hotel today.

Nobody knows where their keys are!” We had a good, much needed laugh that day.

The hotel underwent a huge renovation and was ready to unveil, and then COVID hit. Talk about overseeing a project like that in general, with the added curveball of a pandemic to deal with as well.

It was surreal, actually. We were planning to complete our renovation on April 1st and unveil our new lobby and Toro Latin Kitchen and Lounge to the world. We had a PR campaign underway. We had conferences and events who had been promised a renovated hotel. We had a James Beard Signature Event planned for April 6th with Richard Sandoval as the featured chef. We had been selling, promoting and talking up this renovation and reimagined hotel for years. Instead of unveiling on April 1st, we closed on March 23rd. To finish a project like that and then have literally no guests to welcome was anti-climactic to say the least. However, what was amazing was the curiosity, feedback and enthusiasm of the locals in Cherry Creek and all of our visiting guests when we re-opened on June 1st . We had little old ladies who would walk their dogs down Clayton Lane and knock on the window until I came out and gave them a tour. I loved it! This hotel is such an anchor here in Cherry Creek North—the love we felt from the community when we re-opened was overwhelming. We’ve been doing our best through this difficult time but obviously we have far fewer guests and groups than ever before. The silver lining is that, of the people who are travelling and meeting, they are blown away by the hotel. When the world is ready to come back, we’ll be ready to wow them!

What are three items you can’t live without?

Live without? Just one. My guitar. No matter what is happening in my life—if I’m glad, sad or mad—I can spend ten minutes with my guitar and be grounded. I’ve been playing since I was about ten-years-old and have spent the majority of my youth playing in rock bands and living in clubs and theaters. I’m a Director of Sales and Marketing and a Dad now, so that lifestyle doesn’t translate. However, I never lost the passion and it’s still the number one thing I can’t live without.

All of us are ready to travel and get away when it’s safe to do so.

Where will your first vacation be when you can take one?

My wife has already determined this for me, like so many things in life. Hawaii. She was born and raised in Kapa’a on the island of Kauai and we’ll be heading back for a visit at our earliest opportunity.

What makes working in Cherry Creek different than any other place you’ve worked?

I would have to say it’s the level of services that are offered here. The shopping, the dining, the spas and fitness studios—they’re all high-end and we don’t have too many weak links in the chain. It’s great to be able to send guests out into Cherry Creek North and let them know that it’s hard to go wrong. Walk into most any storefront and you’re bound to be quite pleased!

Five dream dinner party guests?

Barack Obama – he can’t open his mouth without me choking up. Such an inspiring man.

Bob Dylan – I would just ask him how he channeled his lyrics. No man could come up with that body of work. Arthur Rimbaud – a 19th Century French poet who wrote all of his poems before he was 19-years-old and then rejected everything around him and basically disappeared. Malcolm Gladwell – one of our time’s biggest thinkers. I love his books and always seem to come out of every read with a new way of looking at things. Queen Ka’ahumanu – she was King Kamehameha’s favorite wife and was in a position or prominence when Hawaii had to grapple with the effects of Western influence. I would just ask her to tell her life story and sit back and take notes.

DENISE SNYDER MARIEL A Denver native, Denise Snyder opened Mariel, named for her daughter, 38 years ago. After decades on Larimer Square, she moved her beloved boutique to Cherry Creek North in 2013 and has not looked back since. We sit down with this well-known (and well-loved) gal about town to learn more about shopping at Mariel, her work in the community, why she loves gardening and her penchant for biker boots.

Favorite way to relax on a weekend?

What makes Mariel so special?

In winter, I like to fantasize about my gardens.

In spring, it is all about planting, and, in summer, I enjoy watching the gardens grow.

Mariel is more than a boutique. We are very social and my clients, friends and family stop by daily to shop, catch up or have a small bite to eat. We are very involved in the community and its many charities – I love to connect people. During the pandemic, I created a patio in front of the store with flowers, a table and chairs so friends could sit outside, socially distanced, and connect.

Items you are coveting for Spring/ Summer?

We have some beautiful embroidered mesh dusters to wear with skinny jeans and leggings. I can’t wait to wear mine to the pool with a straw hat from our new spring hat line. I am looking forward to wearing lots of feminine dresses once events begin to take place again!

How long have you lived in Denver and what made you open Mariel?

I am a native and come from a family of entrepreneurs. I have been interested in fashion since I was a child. My father encouraged me to open my boutique and I have never regretted it. I am so blessed to be able to do what I love.

Favorite Cherry Creek restaurant?

Cucina Colore. The food is always fresh and their modern take on traditional Italian cuisine is perfect. They catered lunches and dinner all summer on my patio.

Favorite lines you carry at Mariel?

We are primarily private label, working with designers from Europe, Canada and the U.S. My favorite item is our signature Mariel pant. It is a classic cigarette pant with a slit in the front that we sell daily. Our evening salon has gorgeous gowns and, of course, the hats for which we are known.

Besides Mariel, what are your top three “must see/visit” places in Cherry Creek?

White Peacock has exceptional tableware and decor. My husband gave me gifts for Christmas, birthday and Valentine’s Day from White Peacock this year. My favorite is a Lalique Bacchantes vase that I have wanted for over 30 years! I enjoy meeting friends for happy hour at the restaurant Narrative at the Jacquard Hotel, and I am so lucky to have Therese Salon across the street for my hair care and blow dries.

What is your favorite thing about Cherry Creek?

Cherry Creek is a vibrant, walkable neighborhood unlike any other shopping district in Colorado. We have it all! You can dine, work out, go to the spa, and shop. Most importantly, the majority of the businesses are locally-owned.

Describe your personal style.

Most beautiful place you’ve visited in Colorado? In the world?

I have multiple styles depending on my day or events. I enjoy everything from glam looks to biker boots!

I have two favorite designers, Chanel and Versace. You will always see clothing inspired by both in my store.

Aspen is exceptionally beautiful and I always look forward to driving Independence Pass in the fall and seeing the changing of the leaves.

I love the water. St. Barts is one of my favorite islands. It has so many private beaches – you can easily explore a new one every day.

Five dream dinner party guests?

Do you “collect” anything?

Who is your style icon?

Orchids

Warren Buffet, Diana Ross, Jennifer Lopez, Coco Chanel, and Gianni Versace.

CHERRY CREEK’S TOP ROOFTOPS + PATIOS Springtime in Cherry Creek is synonymous with patio dining and people watching.

Here, our picks for the top al fresco spaces in the neighborhood, in no particular order…

1

Kisbee on the Roof, The Jacquard Arguably the neighborhood’s sleekest and sexiest outdoor space, the Jacquard’s dreamy rooftop is exactly that. Kisbee on the Roof, the property’s rooftop bar, is undoubtedly the place to see and be seen in the warmer months. For lucky hotel guests, the pool is a welcomed respite, serving cocktails and bites as you refresh. For those looking to take in the views and sip on drinks with friends, Kisbee offers the perfect spot for guests and locals alike.

222 Milwaukee Street thejacquard.com

2

Le Bilboquet A favorite amongst Cherry Creek’s ladies who lunch, Le Bilboquet’s patio is indeed très chic. Veuve Clicquot by the glass (or the bottle…we’re not judging), the neighborhood’s best charcuterie board and an elegant outdoor space framed in pretty boxwood planters.

Oui! 299 St. Paul Street lebilboquetdenver.com

Cherry Creek Beer Garden at Moxy

Located adjacent to The Moxy Hotel, Cherry Creek Beer Garden is a pet friendly place to drink beer, grab a bite and hang out in the rustically chic outdoor scene featuring multiple seating areas and firepits. A haven for the hip, laid back crowd, the watering hole describes itself as a destination for “smart people who prefer their craft beer in a can, so each one is cold, crisp and fresh.” We love Cherry Creek Beer Garden’s summer programming, which typically features the likes of lawn games and live DJs. 240 Josephine Street cherrycreekbeergarden.com

La Merise A springtime lunch and a glass of Rosé at La Merise may very well transport you to France, if only metaphorically.

The sunken garden patio space is bright, sunny and perfectly cozy. We love the locally-owned restaurant’s moderately priced French home-style meals – try the Eggs Benedict Crepe and the Steak Frites.

2700 East 3rd Avenue lamerisedenver.com

Toro Toro, the JW Marriott Cherry Creek’s signature restaurant, is not lacking on ambient outdoor space. The Richard Sandoval eatery is brimming Latin flavor and flair and the space’s indoor/outdoor concept makes diners feel as though they are eating en plein air regardless of where they’re seated. The patio, of course, is spacious and inviting, making it perfect for enjoying a romantic dinner or cocktails with friends.

Del Frisco’s Grille Modern and stylish, Del Frisco’s Grille’s Cherry Creek location takes the concept of the neighborhood bar to new heights – literally. Always packed with professionals looking to unwind, the restaurant’s rooftop watering hole serves fresh cocktails and decadent bites worthy of the lauded steakhouse’s wellregarded name.

Elevated at Halcyon, a hotel in Cherry Creek There’s nothing quite like the rooftop at Halcyon. A swanky pool plays host to one of the neighborhood’s best views – a 360-degree vantage point of the Rockies, downtown Denver and Cherry Creek.

Guests can rent a cabana, which includes sips, snacks, robes and iced towels. If you’re not a guest of the hotel, you can still experience all that is Elevated – Halcyon’s rooftop bar where trendy craft cocktails and bites are plentiful.

THE 2021 LAMBORGHINI URUS SUPER SPORT SUV 650.

Oh wait.

It’s just a number.

Hello I-70. Vail, here we come.

Until you start talking about horse power, and you find yourself awe struck to see your fingers dancing on the leather steering wheel of the Italian beast known as the Lamborghini Urus SUV.

We’ll be that unidentifiable blur streaking across the unsuspecting concrete with an incomparable engine roar that you’ll mistake for a Buckley Air Force Base fighter jet or a convention of brown bears jawing over the best way to catch a rainbow trout.

3.6 is another number.

So, where do you take a four-wheeled Goliath like this for a few days in Colorado?

If you’re not a lead foot or interested in reenacting The Cannonball Run, this unrivaled whip will still have plenty of purpose.

Adjustable driving modes like Strada make it a very accessible family vehicle to drive, as well as Nieve for winter driving. This piercing, stateof-the-art blessing dominates in rain, sleet, snow, and off-road. If the postal service could afford them, they’d be everywhere delivering our mail.

If only there was a nearby mountain highway replete with stunning views, mile long straightaways, limited speed traps and a resort destination that rhymes with “Pail.”

For those with an eye roll when thinking about taking the Urus offroad, why wouldn’t you? Because of potential scratches? We’ve all seen the commercial of the guy who’s had a few too many energy drinks who

sawed a boat in half and then taped it up. You can buff out a scratch. So, enter it in the Dakar Rally or pop it into Corsa mode for a mind-blowing launch around a track.

The dashboard console makes me feel like I should have a pilot’s license and be on standby on Runway 5 at DIA. It’s not a confusing interface, but rather a thorough one. Look…just because someone can afford this spectacular machine doesn’t mean they’re a rocket scientist and require comparable features, although this rig is a rocket, and it’s only apropos that the start button is beneath a red flip cover and the shifter, resembling a jet’s throttle.

Fantastico!

That’s Italian for “Amazing!”

Facciamo un viaggio indimenticabile in questo incredibile macchinario.

With the entire cabin wrapped either in Q-Citura Leather, Alcantara, or a tasteful combination of both, you also have the option to seat five with three bench seats in the second row or a four-seater setup with two separate captain chairs with a center console in the back as well.

That’s Italian for “Let’s go for an unforgettable drive in this unbelievable piece of machinery.”

The round-trip flight to Vail was glorious.

I’ve got a book that I can’t shut up about; a podcast that has renewed my love for the NBA; two documentaries that utterly consumed me, and a new favorite show that I’m flying through at a record pace. Here’s what has my attention of late.

VIEW MASTER WHAT WE’RE CURRENTLY WATCHING + READING

TIGER The jaw-dropping rise. The spectacular fall. He was groomed to be a golfing machine beginning at the age of two. The pressure Tiger Woods endured, both mental and physical, is nothing short of tragic. The fame led to out-of-control vices, demons and secrets that Hollywood makes movies about.

Instead, HBO did. See how a $100 million-a-year brand went through hell and back before a rebirth at the 2019 Masters that will go down as sport legend. And since the documentary, Woods was injured in a horrific car crash in Southern California, making for another dramatic chapter in his roller coaster of a life. Never a dull moment with this man. Roar!

Watch it on HBO.

ALL THE SMOKE You guys like basketball? Specifically, in-depth interviews and never-before-heard stories of the NBA and its biggest stars? Former NBA ballers Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson team up to host a no-holds-barred, uncensored forum that is as automatic as Steph Curry from 3-point land. These two are so well respected, that not only are they securing chats with the biggest names both past and present, but Showtime got a hold of them and is airing their segments on its network.

Take a listen and judge for yourself.

Listen wherever you get your Podcasts, and watch on Showtime

LONGMIRE The series about a Wyoming sheriff began back in 2012 and has since ended after six seasons and 63 episodes. While admittedly arriving pretty late to this crime genre party, I’m just thankful to come across it at all. Lou Diamond Phillips (remember La Bamba?) steals every scene he’s in as part of a bingeworthy show and a constant “Who Dunnit?” that keeps you guessing throughout.

Watch it on Netflix

MOMENTUM GENERATION ERUPTION IN THE CANYON: 212 DAYS AND NIGHTS WITH THE GENIUS OF EDDIE VAN HALEN

BY ANDREW BENNETT A short read full of amazing never-before-seen pictures of the late guitar god, including his 5150 on-property studio, exotic cars, music associates, band members, and countless one-of-a-kind guitars that show you a recluse and hermit of a man who lived life by his own rules. It’s a rock parade of unbelievable eye-witnessed stories and private conversations that leave you saying out loud, “No way!” I could read this book every month.

If you ever wondered how the greatest surfer on the planet became so good, the story of Kelly Slater is all over this documentary that takes place on the North Shore of Hawaii.

Including an inner circle of surf legends of Slater, Rob Machado, Shane Dorian and Taylor Knox, filmmakers Jeff and Michael Zimbalist draw on tens of thousands of hours of footage in private archives to highlight the deep friendships that were formed and tested during the surfers’ careers as top athletes and cultural icons.

Watch it in HBO

HERS

Reliving the 90s through the eyes of a child actress. Escaping to the desert again and again. Seeing the world through the comedic lens of an overweight journalist, the sweet story of a lifelong friendship and an inside look at the makings of an Instagram influencer. I am loving the content on streaming services like Hulu and Netflix this season.

SHRILL As thoughtful and witty as it gets, Shrill is the perfectly bingeable comedy starring SNL’s Aidy Bryant as a self-described “fat girl” looking to change her life, but not her body. Bryant’s character, Annie, is an up-and-coming journalist at a Portland, Oregon indie newspaper whose narcissistic boss and non-committal “boyfriend” are central to her struggle for self-acceptance in a world that equates obesity with laziness. When Annie goes rogue and publishes a compelling story on the newspaper’s site behind her boss’ back, her career, and her confidence, catapults. Shrill is irreverent in all the right ways and raunchy at all the right times. I can’t wait for Season Three.

PALM SPRINGS With much of Hollywood on hold until the COVID-19 pandemic is controlled, good movies have been few and far between these days.

Yet I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon Hulu’s Palm Springs, a clever romantic comedy starring Andy Samberg (Myles) and Cristin Milioti (Sarah). Caught in a Groundhog Day-esque time warp, the unwitting wedding guests embark on a series of bucket list style adventures that range from delightful to doomsday. Together, Myles and Sarah discover the meaning of life, and of love, all while attempting to find a way back to reality and out of the nightmarish dilemma in which they’re entangled. A supporting role by J.K. Simmons takes it over the top, as does the picturesque desert oasis backdrop of, naturally, Palm Springs.

KID90 Confession: I subscribed to Hulu solely so I could watch this documentary. And I don’t regret it. Kid90 is the lifelong collection of home videos and memorabilia from child actress Soleil Moon Frye (aka Punky Brewster). The walk down memory lane teeters between diary and documentary, giving viewers a true inside look of growing up as a 90s child star. There’s plenty of drugs, sex and rock n’ roll, shattering any notions onlookers once shared of the cracker jack images that stars like Moon Frye, Brian Austin Green, Balthazar Getty, Jenny Lewis, David Arquette, Justin Pierce and Leonardo di Caprio exhibited on the pages of Bop magazine. What’s most compelling may just be the fact that Moon Frye seemed to have a camera with her everywhere she went, making the film so much more than brief clips and after-the-fact recollections. Kid90 is instead a very thorough chronicle of the people, parties, and places that defined a group of pre-millennial bold-face named teenagers – mushroom trips and all. In many ways heartbreaking (several of the stars who make appearances lost their lives to suicide or overdose), and undoubtedly fascinating, Kid90 is as real and as raw as it gets.

Watch it on Hulu

FIREFLY LANE Girly, heart-wrenching and slightly scandalous. Netflix’s Firefly Lane has everything I could hope for in a chick show and then some. The story of childhood best friends Tully Hart (Katherine Heigl) and Kate Mularkey (Sarah Chalke), Firefly Lane (which is based on the book of the same name) chronicles the pair’s 30-year kinship. Kate, a klutzy blonde with a heart of gold and Tully, a brazen brunette with a troubled family life, become thick as thieves while growing up next door to one another on Firefly Lane. The ladies are inseparable from moment one on, navigating the complexities of high school, college and careers side by side. Kate goes on to become a stay-at-home mom while Tully rises to Oprah-level stardom as a daytime talk show host. There’s ups, downs, twists, turns, fortune, fame, heartbreak and just enough drama to make it interesting.

Watch it on Netflix.

FAKE FAMOUS This documentary will have you questioning everything you thought you knew (and didn’t know) about Instagram. The startling exposé digs into the world of the “influencer,” unveiling the literal tricks of the trade used to create an image of posh perfection – one that is heavily exaggerated at best. From purchasing followers and engagement, to renting palatial homes for photoshoots and manipulating pictures with props and special effects, the documentary shows how nothing is as it seems in the world of social media.

The great room itself is elegant and timeless, with plenty of natural light coming in from the set of three beautiful French doors that open to the patio. A formal fireplace gives it opulence and ambience, and the entire space is, in a word, timeless. When it came to design, the homeowners kept the room light and bright, with clean white walls ideal for showcasing their impressive and colorful art collection.

Nearby, the family room stands as the centerpiece of the home with its unique and dramatic atrium. A statement in and of itself, the intricately designed skylight is as beautiful as it is functional, allowing light to flow throughout the entire center of the home. To complement their artwork, a custom rug that mimics the colors and patterns hanging on the walls was selected, giving the room comfort and character alike.

The chef’s kitchen, with top-of-the-line appliances and custom cabinetry includes a unique series of built-ins ideal for the homeowners, who love to collect and to entertain.

The area opens to a large patio making for seamless indoor/ outdoor living. There is a dramatic linear fire pit, covered seating area and an outdoor dining area.

Road Trip Travels to Aspen, Beaver Creek and The Broadmoor

BY KEVIN MARR

A

As the COVID travel grip slowly begins to loosen, desperately needed getaways start to get a serious wink. As a resort destination state, Coloradoans needn’t deal with the added headaches (and health risks) of airports when some of the finest laps of luxuries are just a few hours away on the open road. Here, we unveil a spectacular new wine bar in Aspen with inspirational accents from Paris, New York and Beverly Hills; a longtime “secret” spa treatment unlike any other and previously known only by the locals in Beaver Creek; and a private golf course cottage fit for royalty and steps away from some of the best dining and amenities anywhere.

Dust off those suitcases and gas up the car. It’s time to treat yourself to some well-deserved R&R at some of the best resorts in the country, all in our own backyard.

THE BROADMOOR “That’s the look that I wanted to see!”

If Chef Roland LaCroix needed confirmation that the sticky toffee pudding at The Broadmoor’s Golden Bee restaurant was perhaps the best I’ve ever had, then my eyes rolling into the back of my head during my first bite was a dead giveaway.

This spongey, flawlessly balanced dessert was the glorious culmination of a good old-fashioned British supper in this subterranean 19th Century British Pub. The pub was actually transferred to The Broadmoor, panel by panel, directly from the United Kingdom, and, in keeping with the hotel’s lofty standards for everything it gets its hands on, the end result is another jaw dropper that needs to be seen to be believed. Jolly Old England is alive and well in Colorado Springs.

So, when in Rome, Fish and Chips and Chicken Pot Pie were washed down with a Mule and a tasty lager. There were no easy choices from the menu and the French Onion Soup, Beer Steamed Mussels and Creole Shrimp and Grits should all have felt nervous because they were under serious consideration as well.

The comforting, flavorful meal was just one of many superlatives experienced at one of the great resorts anywhere in the world, and yet just a short jaunt down I-25 for an escape like no other.

Eye candy as far as the eye can see. It’s like a Hollywood set where you’re half-expecting to see Leo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett stroll by in a scene.

It’s the smell of oak. Jazz emanating from hidden ceiling speakers. Stunning décor bursting with custom woodwork, paintings of the Colorado outdoors and history of yesteryear, crystal chandeliers, gold floral wallpaper, and 20-foot floor-to-ceiling drapes.

Fountains pepper the grounds with their soothing splashes, orchestrating yet another dreamy soundtrack with a mountain backdrop studded in majestic pine.

properties whom you’d expect a lot more from. Leave it to The Broadmoor team to restore our faith in warm food, quick delivery and generous portions.

Just another day in the time warp that is The Broadmoor, harkening back to a period devoid of the internet, social media, and political nonsense.

On this particular trip, it being the first semblance of a retreat for us in nearly two years, we were seeking as many activities as possible where we could be lying down. Enter the Spa at The Broadmoor.

That evening, La Taverne hosted an unforgettable dinner that we’d make the drive from Denver to do all over again.

If this was the hotel in The Shining, Jack Nicholson’s character wouldn’t have gone crazy. He would have come out of it a scholar in architecture, interior design, fine art, music and cuisine.

The moment you walk off the elevator, it’s a transport to the ethereal. A heated robe and sandals are the uniform for the afternoon.

Sitting with my feet up on the ottoman in the spa relaxation lounge awaiting an 80-minute massage, it is far too easy to get lost staring out the windows onto the golf course, a giant American flag dancing in the wind with miles of sky, tree line and mountainscape hypnotizing the moment.

After the Golden Bee, it was back to our private cottage. When I think of a cottage, I don’t think of two master suites, vaulted ceilings, gorgeous chandeliers, and showers with five heads. Thank goodness that’s how The Broadmoor envisions a “cottage.”

Let’s face it – privacy and exclusivity when traveling is a game changer. The loud talker or the person with too much cologne or perfume on won’t find your ears or your nostrils behind these gates. Plus, with COVID still an issue, your own space like this goes a long way to further one’s peace of mind.

Backed up onto the golf course with a view of the mountains from a spacious and stylishly furnished patio, your only real decisions fall on whether or not the champagne that’s just been delivered should take a back seat to the Cake Bread Pinot Noir.

With a well-appointed dining room at your service, in-room dining is suddenly an even more appealing option. With our extensive experience in this matter, “ordering in” can be tricky. We’ve been on the receiving end of far too many botched jobs from luxury

The history of The Broadmoor is everywhere in just about everything. With the golf course, how can’t you flashback to 1959 when a 19-year-old from Columbus, Ohio, named Jack Nicklaus won the U.S. Amateur Championship on these very grounds?

After a spectacular massage, we stretch the legs and walk around the property’s picturesque Lake Broadmoor. We’ve been here a handful of times and yet we’re still taking tons of pictures. You can’t help it.

Everyone is doing it. Eye candy as far as the eye can see. It’s like a Hollywood set where you’re half-expecting to see Leo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett stroll by in a scene.

Then, as though on cue, dozens of geese fly overhead in perfect symmetry like a neverbefore-seen air show before a majestic, synchronized landing onto the lake. All the while, the melodic bells and their gentle rings from The Will Rogers Shrine on nearby Cheyenne Mountain provide yet another layer of celestial serenity.

Chef de Cuisine Mario Viguie and his team executed a flawless dining experience that included one of my all-time favorite meals of a wedge salad, a 14-ounce New York Strip and the best mashed potatoes I can remember having anywhere (I asked for a second order). While not the most complex dinner order ever, if you don’t execute it with flavor, texture, temperature, and presentation then it’s unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.

No chance of that happening. This is The Broadmoor. Chef Viguie nailed it. Not to mention my wife’s lobster tail and filet was a dish for the ages as well.

And then there was dessert.

Somehow, I was clueless when it came to Chess Pie or, as our server described it, “sugar cream pie.”

As it turns out, Chess Pie is a popular dessert in the American South that originated from England. Well, regardless of its origination, its destination ended with me and it was love at first bite.

Per usual, this beauty named Broadmoor gave us plenty to love.

Until next time.

PARK HYATT BEAVER CREEK RESORT AND SPA It’s been a spa secret in Beaver Creek for years.

A luxurious hideaway, known only by Vail Valley locals and repeat clientele, serving as a pampering escape that’s one of only two in the country and the only west of the Mississippi.

The Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa showcases Roman baths that are truly oneof-a-kind.

This incredible property with its breathtaking setting perched at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain and overlooking Beaver Creek Village is no stranger to award-winning spa programs and services.

With 16 treatment rooms for everything from massages and facials to acupuncture and body treatments, the amenities at Exhale Spa are everything you’d expect from such a resort.

And then there’s Aqua Sanitas.

The on-property Roman baths boast five stages of pure tranquility, the first being the spa’s Thermal Pool. The second stage is the Caldarium Mineral Pool which evoke natural springs. The water raises your core temperature, helping to increase circulation, boost metabolism and relieve sore muscles.

Next up is the Cascata Rainshower, whose cooling provides an invigorating transition from the heated pools, followed by the Caldarium Steam, which refreshes and recharges your senses with its heat, steam, light and wintergreen scents. The fifth and final stage is the Tepidarium where you’ll find yourself reclining on contoured heated loungers in an aromatherapy-infused sanctuary as your experience finishes.

But since you’re in paradise, nothing is really finished. It’s just on to the next blissful activity. So, now it’s time to eat.

Cue 8100 Mountainside Bar and Grill, the resort’s signature restaurant.

Chef Wade Eybel has created a taste budrattling menu featuring local, natural and organic dishes including seasonal elk, beef, and trout.

For lunch, preferably enjoyed on the patio for the beautiful views and the beautiful people watching, the menu highlights soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches – most notably the chili with smoked brisket, a butternut squash bisque, chicken flatbread, and the pastrami melt, which you can burn off while hiking later on. Vegan, gluten free and vegetarian items are all available as well, as is the Brass Bear Bar for craft cocktails and beverages.

Dinner at the resort is an undeniable treat.

Chef Eybel’s Yellowtail Tuna Tataki is the perfect way to get things going. If you’re a carnivore, then the Colorado Elk Sausage with tomato-bacon marmalade and grilled sourdough is another remarkable appetizer.

Main courses include the Tasmanian Salmon with Garlic Potato Puree, Charred Tomato Pine Nut Relish, Asparagus and Fresh Horseradish; Stout Braised Buffalo Short Rib with Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Lions Mane Mushrooms, Fruition Ricotta Polenta and Coffee and Chili Braising Liquid; and the 21Day Dry Aged Prime Bone-In New York Steak with Smashed Yukon Potatoes, Colorado Green Chilis and Red Chili Beef Jus. And save room for dessert. Hazelnut tortes, turtle cheesecake, ice cream and sorbet cure all that ails that sweet tooth craving.

As far as activities are concerned, if the hotel doesn’t have access to it then it simply doesn’t exist. There’s next level golfing at two immaculate courses including the Greg Norman-designed Red Sky Golf Club and Beaver Creek Golf Club. Enjoy world class mountain biking whether it’s a fearless downhill charge or a leisurely ride in one of the great spots anywhere in the country.

There’s unbelievable fly fishing on the Eagle River and endless hiking trails with a front row seat to the nature, wildlife and stunning beauty that makes this region so special. Float down the Eagle River or the Arkansas River for an adrenaline-filled day in a river raft, or take an off-road Jeep tour of the breathtaking backcountry.

You’re going to get thirsty after all of this action, so take advantage a fantastic new ordinance that’s been passed, allowing you to walk around Beaver Creek with drinks from bars and restaurants – a la New Orleans – but in a mountain Shangri La. Back at the resort, the kids (if you take them) will love S’Mores Night as well the tent that can be set up in the room for your little ones to sleep in.

The next morning, the world is your oyster once again. They say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Well, that includes the Roman baths, so may we suggest another round at the spa?

THE LITTLE NELL They’re at it again.

It’s how the best get even better.

Aspen’s world famous Little Nell found a hammer, some nails and likely a sledge hammer and power saw, and got a little “work” done. The results are stunning, appointing this resort town’s grand dame with yet another reason to take a muchdeserved bow.

From its face lift to its ski lift, one hardly needs their arm twisted to visit this masterpiece.

Upon entering, symmetry, light and harmonic proportions all play a part in the new lobby and living room, renovated by the acclaimed firm, Luis Bustamante Interior Design of Spain.

“When I first met Luis Bustamante and saw his work, I knew he was the right interior designer for Aspen,” said Paula Crown of the Crown Family, who owns Aspen Skiing Company and The Little Nell, and whose artwork graces its walls. “Luis brings his formidable talents as an artist in understanding nuances of the scale and flow.

At The Little Nell, we create experiences that heighten our senses and are transformative in a moment,” added Mrs. Crown.

These experiences that Crown alludes to not only highlight an undeniable artistic balance between the materials, lighting, furniture and artwork, but an homage to Aspen’s inherent exertion of comfort and coziness as well.

Wood paneling on the fireplace, the vestibule screen, the concierge and reception desks all provide a sense of warmth. Additional modifications to the ground level of the hotel include a mirrored ceiling in the elevator corridor, as well as textured wallpaper through the lobby and the stairwell leading to the lower level of the hotel.

So, you’ve arrived to this beautiful, extended work of art at check-in. How about a glass of wine?

The property’s award-winning wine program now has a shiny new toy in the form of a hangout that Aspen’s only Five-Star, Five Diamond, ski-in/ski-out hotel could provide, appropriately dubbed The Wine Bar. Inspired by Willi’s Wine Bar in Paris, Corkbuzz in New York City and Wally’s in Beverly Hills, The Wine Bar exudes its own style and taste based on its legacy wine program with an inviting, candlelit ambiance, and socially distance seating areas for parties up to eight.

With an art deco design, this relaxing respite boasts a DJ booth where only vinyl records are on rotation, an extensive wine list and an innovative bar menu.

Wine Director Chris Dunaway offers dozens of wines by the glass, 16 wine enomatics on tap and a wine list of nearly 3,000 selections from the unrivaled cellar. “At The Wine Bar, guests have access to our entire wine list at The Nell, which is packed with the classics, as well as wines from some incredibly exciting up and coming regions both domestic and abroad,” Dunaway explains. “We’re offering some of the most highly allocated wines by the glass such as Roumier, Roulot, Bartolo Mascarello, Vega Sicilia and Chave Hermitage.”

With education and approachability as a central theme at The Wine Bar, Dunaway assembled a team of five sommeliers, also known as wine-tenders. All are extremely knowledgeable, ranging in experience and qualifications from studying winemaking and viticulture to earning the Master Sommelier pin. In welcoming Josh Nadal, M.S., to the team at The Wine Bar, this brings the count of Master Sommeliers to work at The Little Nell to an astounding eleven.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Culinary Director Matt Zubrod has written a unique menu of shared plates to complement the wines with a chef’s charcuterie board with house-cured meats and cheeses, caviar tacos, truffle fries, wagyu tataki and king crab, to name just a few. Further feasting for your eyes are the art deco accents from gold mirrors on the walls and bar carts for each seating area to lady lamps and wine books displayed on the bar and black velvet curtains fastened with gold tassels at the entrance and exit, all courtesy of the talented designer Emily Campbell of Go Bella Design & Planning.

Looking for fun and games away from it all, with complete privacy and expert pampering?

Another magnicent new addition to the hotel is The Board Room, a speakeasy behind a bookshelf with a password required to enter. Once you’re inside, it’s all yours – a contemporary den with an 88-inch flat screen and 5.1 Klipsch sound system, plush couches, a bar area and regulation size pool table with a custom cover to convert it into a dinner table.

The private space is available as a buyout for lunch, apres-ski, dinner or a corporate affair, featuring dedicated service by a personal sommelier and access to the award-winning wine list, high-end spirits and a Tanqueray Imperial Shaker – one of only two in Colorado – for Gin Fizzes and a limited selection of cocktails. A special food menu is available as well, and reservations made outside 72 hours will have the option for a custom menu designed by the culinary team.

Just another day at The Little Nell, where the only thing little about this place is the competition.

THE HOUSE THAT

Judi BUILT

Created by Brian and Brook Griese, Judi’s House has been helping children and families overcome the loss of a loved one for over 18 years

BY KEVIN MARR “When Brian was a kid, he felt he was the only one who lost his mom.”

“Brian” is Brian Griese, former NFL quarterback and Denver Bronco, and one of the current faces of Monday Night Football on ESPN. Brian’s wife, Brook, speaks compassionately about her husband and the mental scars that come with losing his mom at such a young age. You can sense a calming strength and a nurturing aura to her demeanor. So, it comes as no surprise that Brook is a clinical psychologist specializing in childhood trauma and loss and, with Brian, co-founder of Denver-based Judi’s House.

@CHE RRYCRE E K MAG

Judi’s House is an homage to Brian’s late mother Judi, who passed away from breast cancer in 1988.

Brian was only 12.

Think about that for a moment.

That’s the kind of mental trauma on a child that can have irreparable damage if not handled correctly.

“I really didn’t have a lot of emotional support at the time,” explains Griese. “And honestly I don’t believe anyone ‘overcomes’ grief. We have to learn to come to grips with the reality of loss and to learn what our ‘new normal’ looks like. I struggled with this at 12-yearsold and I had a lot of difficult questions without many answers. The truth is that I didn’t have enough healthy coping skills to help me through the grieving process, and it affected every part of my life. It wasn’t until I started thinking about honoring my mom by giving back to others that I finally addressed my grief deeply and learned how to make meaning of what my family experienced.”

One

in 14 children will lose a parent or sibling before the age of 18. That’s an astounding number, and it’s why Judi’s House has become so indispensable to the Denver community.

56

SP R I N G 2021

Brook shares that the seeds were planted with Judi’s House back when Brian was at The University of Michigan. “Even when Brian was in college, he was thinking of ways he wanted to give back and help other kids who had an experience like he did. On our first date over 20 years ago, we had a very impactful conversation about what we wanted to do with our lives and how we wanted to help others,” she recalls.

So, what does Judi’s House specifically help with?

They’ve invested considerable time and resources in providing counseling to children ages three to 25-years-old, as well as to the parents in a 10-week program. The entire family comes together and connects with other groups dealing with the same situation for a very healthy, open dialogue.

“Part of what we do is help families identify what their specific needs are,” Brooke begins.

“We’re promoting resilience and preventing those long-term complications that really come up with kids if they aren’t having these conversations. We are ensuring this isn’t something that gets buried or something that becomes taboo for the family to talk about,” she explains. “It’s important that they feel they can process this loss with healthy coping strategies and hopefully find ways to stay on a path that avoids negative behaviors that kids and parents can turn to when they’re struggling. Further education stemming from Judi’s House stresses the eternal outlets that families need to avoid feeling isolated or alone, and not derailing development from unnecessary anxiety.”

With her skill set and background – most notably a PhD from the University of Colorado at Boulder – Brook has been instrumental in developing the programs, the research and the training. She speaks on behalf of the organization and spearheads the fundraising element to keep Judi’s House funded, growing, and sustainable. Since opening in 2002, the organization has served over 11,000 individuals and continues to expand.

One in 14 children will lose a parent or sibling before the age of 18. That’s an astounding number, and it’s why Judi’s House has become so indispensable to the Denver community.

Little did the Grieses know how crucial a service their foundation would become.

“We didn’t think it would become as advanced as it has,” Brian admits. “Brook and I really didn’t know what it was going to become. I had experienced losing my mom and knew how it affected me. I had a platform playing for the Broncos and Brook had a background in education as to how to help kids that were going through different challenges in life. So, we got started doing the work,” he details. “We started small and it grew on a yearly basis.

There was a tremendous amount of need in the community and we made a commitment to helping as many kids as possible in Denver.”

Perhaps the greatest compliment to what the organization is accomplishing is that children who were counseled at Judi’s House have returned to volunteer, and there are several who want to go into the field and become grief counselors. Not only have they completed internships at the organization, some are even Judi’s House staff members. It’s a tremendous testament to the power of post-traumatic growth and taking an experience like losing a loved one and turning it into something powerful that can help others. Brian himself is the perfect example.

Present day sees an unbelievable transformation in the scope of Judi’s House, “We’re no longer a charity,” Brian says matter-of-factly.

“It’s now a critical self-service. I think that’s an important distinction. If it didn’t exist, this community would not be as healthy. The challenge moving forward is how to maintain sustainability. That’s the focal point for us, both from a financial perspective and in meeting the needs of the community. We need to get the awareness out there.”

They are two-of-a-kind. A match made in heaven. When Brook and Brian met through a mutual friend, there was an undeniable spark and a shared passion for helping children that brought them together forever.

“He was always very interested and supportive of my work with kids,” Brook shares. “On our first date he asked me, ‘If you could do anything for children, what would you do?’

A GREAT first date question! This led to a conversation that planted the seeds for what would become Judi’s House. I don’t think either of us had any idea what a huge part of our lives creating and growing Judi’s House would be, but we are so grateful to have found our life’s work together,” Brook smiles. “It has been a labor of love nurturing it side-by-side in our respective roles while also raising our own family. I like to think that Judi helped us find one another, so that we could help others find connection and healing, too.”

FROM THE BOOTH

Brian Griese has had a front row seat for all things football since childhood, and he’s proving today that some things never change.

“I remember being a little kid, sitting at his feet, asking him questions about the upcoming teams that he had like USC against Notre Dame. He’d ask me to help him prepare and have me quiz him on pronunciations of guys’ names. Ever since I was young, I’ve been around broadcasting. I’d go on trips with my dad, experience game day and the whole thing, so I knew what I was getting into.”

Spoken like a man who pays attention and has his act together.

That’s a necessary trait for a former NFL Pro Bowl quarterback and play caller who helped deliver the Michigan Wolverines their most recent national championship back in 1997.

And now, following in his father Bob Griese’s footsteps, he’s an NFL television broadcaster and a part of ESPN’s Monday Night Football team.

Brian Griese continues to make the big plays.

Was broadcasting something you knew you wanted to do after football?

As a Denver resident who’s a “Hail Mary” throw from Cherry Creek, Griese sat down with us to discuss his latest chapter in life off the field, while he brings his football expertise to millions of television viewers around the globe covering the guys on the field.

I didn’t know. My dad had done it for 30 years so, in the back of my mind, I always probably thought it was a potential next step, but I really didn’t think about it when I was playing. I retired in 2009, and I really didn’t know that I was going to retire. I had some opportunities to go back to the NFL and then ESPN approached me during that offseason and I took the attitude where I’ll just give it a try, do an audition and see what happens. If it doesn’t work out then that’s fine.

If I don’t like it then that’s fine too. So, I did the audition and they offered me a season of college football games and it worked out and I’ve never looked back.

A lot of people don’t know what it takes to do your job. How do you prep?

There are a lot of film sessions, research and interviews. After 11 years of doing this, I’ve learned how to be more efficient in preparation.

I know what types of things ultimately get into a broadcast and what doesn’t. When I first started,

I had a lot of statistics and stories on my prep board and, really, that’s not what I’m paid to do up there in the booth. Anybody could look up stats and stories, but I’m in this position because of my experience of playing the game and understanding it. I’m here to bring the fans inside the game and explain to the viewers why things are happening, why a team wins or why a coach makes a decision or doesn’t make a decision. For me to do this job well, there’s a lot of preparation and that means watching a lot of film on the two teams I’m going to cover.

How did the Monday Night Football opportunity come about?

It came from the 10 years I put in at ESPN. There were other people in the running. I don’t think I was the number one choice. I don’t have a problem saying that (chuckles). My conversations with the decision makers were that they felt confident about the booth they were putting in (Griese, Louis Riddick and Steve Levy). There’s also the fact that I had done this for a decade and that we (Griese, Riddick and Levy) all have

relationships in the NFL. This ESPN property of Monday Night Football needed to be stabilized.

They understood that. We understood that. I was grateful for the opportunity to be on that franchise because it’s an iconic franchise. I felt grateful to do games this past year with everything that was going on. We were some of the very few individuals who got to be on site and watch NFL games in person every single week. I realize how important it was to fans at home that we brought them a solid broadcast despite all the challenges that COVID presented.

Your friend and former teammate from Michigan, Tom Brady, is still being Tom Brady – and now he’s brought Tampa Bay another Lombardi Trophy. Talk about what Tom is doing at this stage in his career.

He’s a great guy and nothing he does surprises me anymore. I doubt it surprises anybody that watches the game. What he’s doing right now is really unprecedented, and when we look back at this 20-to-25 years from now, our kids and grandkids won’t believe that this happened – that an

individual could do what he’s doing. I tell people all the time, “Enjoy it because you’re not going to see this kind of athlete or this kind of run again.”

What’s your take on the Broncos’ future with a new General Manager in George Paton, a lot of young talent, and an organization that has struggled since its Super Bowl win five years ago?

George Paton is a seasoned executive who’s been through the fires, and hopefully he comes in and doesn’t roll out the red carpet for anyone and everyone has to earn their spot. I think he’s going to have to bring in other quarterbacks and some veteran leadership to at least compete with Drew Lock. There are some young pieces that are really good to build around at wide receiver and the offensive line. The Garret Bolles story is phenomenal. There are structural things that I think obviously need to be addressed personnel-wise as well as in the front office, to say nothing about the ownership situation. At the end of the day, I’m a Broncos’ fan and I want them to do well in this community.

ACE OF CLUBS

BY KEVIN MARR

If Clayton Members Club + Hotel has ears (and it seems to have everything else), then they’ve been scorching for the past year with all the curious talk and buzz centered around this greatly anticipated unveiling in Cherry Creek North.

Never before has there been this type of focus and branding for a property whose mission is all about an intentionally-cultivated community featuring a vast spectrum of professions, creative expressions, ages, LGBTQ+ identities, ethnicities and personal interests while bringing together a diverse group of Denver’s most interesting creators, entrepreneurs, and artisans. It’s all about fostering opportunity, equity and inclusion with nearly half the voting Membership Committee identifying as Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC), and an established Artist, Partner and Collaborator Membership Program that provides an opportunity to local makers to share their talents with the Clayton community while also ensuring financial status is not a barrier to club entry.

And where better to bring everyone together than this state-of-the-art, four-story address on Clayton Street between East Second and East Third Avenues, offering members access to a selection of restaurants, bars, workspaces, a fitness center, a rooftop pool and lounge with more than 150 carefully curated events a year?

Guests at the 63-room boutique hotel will notice the stylish, well-appointed rooms with touches of Denver-inspired, mid-century décor, approximately 5,000 square feet of indoor meeting and event space, and all the amenities of Clayton Members Club.

OF A KIND Let’s start with the food.

Under the direction of Executive Chef Brandon Duley, no one under this roof will be going hungry.

A cornerstone of Clayton, Of A Kind, pays homage to the fresh, bright flavors of Mediterranean and California coastal fare. The menu features made-to-order pitas, hearth-fired meats, fresh salads, light plates of pasta and unique hummus plates. The beverage menu, championed by Director of Food & Beverage Lukas Pesek, stars herbaceous and playful renditions of classic cocktails, a selection of local beers and easy-drinking wines.

As Of A Kind’s casual companion, OAK Market provides an all-day eatery for inspired cuisine, freshly pressed juices, espresso, coffee and locallysourced ice cream. Open daily, you can enjoy pastries, vegetable and grain salads, charcuterie and cheese boards, open-faced pitas and more from its quick and friendly counter.

Clayton’s cocktail lounge, Five Nines, provides a fun bit of mystery to it with a private entrance on the street, but with no signage above the door.

You walk down a long hallway where the vibe transforms from the back entrance to an art deco space with cozy, low couches and the stage for live entertainment. Here you’ll encounter a blend of classic and innovative mixology whose cocktail menu features curated ingredients and high-end spirits alongside a thoughtfully crafted bar snack menu. Inspiring a sexy, secretive atmosphere, the lounge offers an intimate stage for jazz, acoustic and spoken word performances, while welcoming guests Wednesday through Saturday evenings.

The hotel’s other hideaways are as thoughtful and plentiful as they come, with something for everyone who’s looking to have their own space to rest, relax or work.

The Parlor features a zero-ABV beverage program, a natural/organic wine list and classic cocktails, punctuated by light bites offered all day, where one can entertain socially and professionally in a tech-free space, designed to cultivate engaging conversation and connectivity.
