Wine Spectator, has been revealed and the #1wine in the world is (drum roll) the 2015 TENUTA SAN GUIDO SASSICAIA ($245. at the winery). This grand blend of Italian grapes from the Bolgheri district of Tuscany was an original “Super Tuscan” Italian
blend. It began commercially in 1968 and now can be placed in the same row as a first-growth Bordeaux, grand cru Burgundy or a Napa Valley cult wine. Why was 2015 a #1 year for Sassacaia? It’s in the vintage. Wine Spectator called 2015 “ripe and opulent fruit with purity and elegance.” Europe is anything but consistent with their weather patterns. The year before was a near-disaster due to chill and too much rain that slowed down ripening. The 2015 has 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc and enjoyed milder temperatures and a lot more sunny weather that came early and stayed. Occasional heavy rains came at the right time, late spring, to help flowering followed
by budding. Manual harvest ended in late September. Grapes were crisp and healthy. 17,200 cases were produced. Piero Antinori is credited with developing Sassacaia into a world class wine, adding to his legacy of making some of the finest wines to come from Italy. Wise aging will bring out the best in this wine. Five years is suggested. For a look at the top 100 wines from Wine Spectator, go to www. winespectator.com.

W FAMILY FEATURES
hen you’re entertaining a small group, it’s fairly easy to ensure everyone enjoys the party. However, a larger group or an eclectic crowd with varied interests can make it harder to be an effective hostess. Planning party zones that cater to specific interests is one savvy solution to this dilemma. Designating areas of your home for various interests will let guests choose their own party pleasure and take some of the pressure off of making sure everyone has a good time. Your party theme and the occasion may help determine the zones most appropriate for your event, or you can get started with your party zone planning using some of these popular ideas. Game zone. There’s nothing like a little friendly competition to get guests mingling and letting loose. Offer a selection of team-oriented board games for groups of four or more, keeping the focus on lively, interactive games that get guests moving and talking as they act out, draw or brainstorm aloud. Let guests square off as they compete for bragging rights, or spice things up a little and up the ante by offering prizes for the winning teams. Conversation zone. Catching up with loved ones is among the best parts of a party, so be sure to create cozy and engaging seating areas where small groups can gather to chat. Try to limit background noise in this zone so participants aren’t fighting to hear the conversation. If space allows, scatter a few of these zones throughout the party so groups can gather where they feel most comfortable. Snack and sips zone. Make it easy for guests to indulge in the food and drinks you’ve prepared, and manage post-party cleanup, by creating designated areas for noshing. If you have an island, add a few barstools, and place extra chairs around the table so no one is left balancing a plate on their lap. Although the kitchen is the natural choice, don’t overlook other areas where you may be able to set up temporary tables and chairs to make it easy for guests to partake in all the food and fun. Quiet zone. Every party needs a quiet spot away from the chaos where guests can retreat and recharge. Offer a comfortable seat and soothing lighting in a part of the house where distractions will be minimal. Take your guests’ needs into consideration; you can offer added privacy with a door hanger that lets others know the space is in use to discourage interruptions.

4 Steps for Easy Entertaining
H
osting a large group of family and friends can be overwhelming, especially if entertaining isn’t something you do often. No matter the occasion, these tips can help you avoid common party pitfalls so you can keep the focus on having fun.
Stock the cart with an ice bucket and tongs; garnish such as lemons, limes, olives and cherries; and an assortment of glasses. Offer a couple of bottled beers on ice, at least one white and one red wine, and a couple of liquors that work with a wide array of mixers, such as vodka and rum.
Offer an assortment. Rather than attempting to plan the menu around a wide range of likes, dislikes, allergies and other considerations, create a menu that satisfies everyone’s cravings with a mix of hot and cold dishes in a variety of tastes and textures.
Never compromise on wine. Lots of times, guests have wildly different tastes in wine and it can seem impossible to select a couple bottles that everyone will like. If you want to please everyone but worry you’ll end up with a stash of partially poured bottles, there is an alternative to pulling all those corks. The Coravin Wine System lets you serve wine without removing the cork, allowing your guests to pour as much or as little wine as they like (you can save
Create a beverage cart. The kitchen is likely to be a hotbed of activity, but setting up a remote beverage cart can help redirect some of that traffic.
the rest or what’s left for another day). Using a Coravin System is like having a wine bar in your house. Rather than settling for what is open, everyone can drink whatever they like, even if the entire group has dramatically different tastes. If someone wants to taste lots of different wines, they will have the freedom to do just that. Learn more at coravin.com. Plan ahead for refills. Clear as much space as possible in the refrigerator for extras so you can easily replenish anything that runs out. Make extra pitchers of punch, and have bowls of popular items ready to replace as needed. For warm items, use the warming feature on your oven to hold dishes at serving temperatures, or simply leave the oven off and contain the precooked dishes’ warmth.

TRANSFORM YOUR HOME IN A WEEKEND WITH THESE DO IT YOURSELF PROJECTS
Summertime isn’t just for vacations or weekends at the cabin. Summer weekends - with longer days - are ideal opportunities for quick and inexpensive DIY projects that make a big statement around the home. The average American homeowner spent nearly $3,000 on home improvements in 2015, according to a Statista report. The following list of affordable projects can be achieved for a fraction of that cost.
Create wood accents Use flooring to make headboards and accent walls. Retailers like Lumber Liquidators offer a variety of styles of flooring such as laminates, engineered, vinyl, click ceramic plank and more, and these flooring materials can easily be incorporated into many accent features. The flooring material can be affixed to walls and other surfaces with a special acrylic flooring tape. Flooring comes in a variety of styles, which can also be cut into striking patterns like chevron or herringbone. Install butcher block countertops Butcher block is a warm and rustic countertop style that’s affordable and increasingly popular. Made from strips of wood bonded together, it can be sliced and chopped on directly - a great option for the minimalist homeowner. Installation is DIYfriendly, making butcher block an ideal weekend project with a good step-by-step tutorial in hand. Build a trellis
Building a garden trellis is a great way to draw more attention to what your green thumb has created. Dedicate Friday to sizing the trellis and cutting and framing the pieces, Saturday to building the panels and assembling and Sunday for digging the holes and setting the trellis into place. Tailor to what’s best for your backyard by building out of wood, bamboo or PVC pipe. Repurposed planters When gardening outside isn’t an option, bring the garden inside by making unique planter boxes. A DIY planter box is typically more affordable than store-bought, and the design possibilities are endless. Reuse vessels like shipping crates, Mason jars and tin boxes. Personalize them with colors and patterns to match your interior and inject personality and life into your space. Add crown molding Crown molding adds distinguished curves and angles to a ceiling, instantly elevating a room to a
polished and sophisticated look. DIY crown molding does require attention to detail when measuring and marking the wall and cutting pieces, so measure twice to cut once. These are just a few of the weekend-ready projects homeowners can knock out this summer to bring new life to spaces indoors and out. A weekend DIY project is a minimal time investment that not only creates a sense of accomplishment, but adds value to your home.
YOUR HOLIDAY SHOPPING GUIDE : 4 WAYS TO CUT THROUGH THE CLUTTER THIS HOLIDAY SEASON
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but for you and your family, it’s also the busiest. The holidays bring trips to book, parties to plan, meals to cook, homes to clean and of course, work and school schedules to manage. On top of that, you have to tackle perhaps the most daunting task of all - the holiday shopping list. Can it be done? Of course it can! But you can make it a little easier with these four tips guaranteed to cut through the clutter and streamline holiday shopping. * Make your list and check it twice. Along with making a holiday budget, create a detailed list of everyone you need to buy for. Include specific sizes and the dollar amount you plan to spend on each person to save you time when you hit the store. You can also save your list to your phone for easy access right at your fingertips. * Stock up and spread cheer this year. Make sure to stock up on a few generic, gender-neutral gifts to have on hand during the holidays should you receive an unexpected gift from your next-door neighbor or mailman.
This way, you will be prepared to spread the joy of gifting no matter who shares it first! * Decide which deals belong on the naughty and nice list. Use your smartphone or other mobile device to
research a store’s holiday deals ahead of time. For example, some prices are for limited time. * Make sure the gifts under your tree are price match guarantee. Most stores offer price match guarantees
throughout the year, but especially during the holiday season. Hold on to your receipts and keep an eye out for new ads and sales as the holidays get closer. Price matching could be your ticket to further holiday savings.

TIPS TO CONQUER YOUR PACKING CHALLENGES WHILE TRAVELING Whether it’s business travel, family road tripping or a romantic getaway, exploring new places is exciting. You may be counting down the days until you leave, but if there’s one thing you dread, it’s packing. Deciding what earns a spot in your suitcase is hard enough, let alone figuring out how you can fit it all in. Do you look with envy at savvy jetsetters who seem to navigate airports with ease while only toting a small carry-on? It’s because years of travel experience has taught them some packing tricks that make the process simple. Now you can use these same strategies to pack with ease no matter how near or far you plan to travel. Select double-duty clothing items. Check the weather for your destination so you pack only items appropriate for the forecast. You won’t need that big sunhat if rain is coming. Want to take it one step further? Choose items that multitask. For example, a large scarf can be a stylish accessory and also be used as a blanket on the plane or at the beach. Pack toiletries strategically. If possible, only bring samples and travel sizes of items to save space. Then leave them behind at the end
of the trip to open up luggage space to bring home mementos. To avoid luggage spills and explosions, place toiletries in plastic bags or add plastic wrap to the tops before screwing on the cap. Choose time-saving tools. Air drying hair takes forever and hotel hair dyers are often slow and unreliable, so pack a lightweight, folding dryer like the Panasonic EHNA27-K Nanoe Compact Hair Dryer to streamline your beauty routine. The nanoe technology draws moisture from the air to create moisture-rich ions that penetrate each hair shaft and enhance hair’s smoothness and shine. Need more incentive? The unique Quick-Dry Nozzle is designed to dry hair faster, so you can spend less time getting ready and more time enjoying your vacation. Fold to prevent wrinkling. To prevent wrinkles on delicate items, try wrapping them around soft, bulky items. For example, wrap a silk blouse or cotton trousers around a sweater. Avoid folding clothing any more than necessary. In fact, many people use a rolling method for packing clothes to save space and prevent wrinkles.
Utilize odd-shaped items. Shoes take up a ton of luggage space, so strive to select no more than three pairs, and wear the heaviest or bulkiest pair while traveling. Place shoes along the sides or bottom to strengthen the bag and then stash items inside to maximize space (like socks, nylons and deodorant). Eliminate makeup mayhem. Only bring makeup essentials on a vacation and pack multi-use items such as a lipstick that can also be used as a blush. To prevent shadows
and pressed powders from cracking, place a pressed cotton pad between the powder and the lid. Grab a few plastic bags. One of the most versatile things you can bring on a trip is also one many people forget: resealable plastic bags. Whether you need a bag for bringing toys down to the pool, a place to put dirty clothes throughout your trip, or something to place that soggy swimsuit in before you check out of the hotel, plastic bags are your secret weapon. - (BPT)

SAN JUAN HILLS HIGH SCHOOL CELEBRATES KINDNESS WEEK During the week of November 12-16, San Juan Hills High School celebrated “Kindness Week,” the brainchild of the SJHHS Compassion Crew. The Compassion Crew, a group of volunteer teachers and staff members dedicated to spreading positivity and kindness around campus, was formed last year following the tragic events of the Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting in Florida. The committee of teachers and staff was inspired by the power of kindness and a positive school culture to help prevent these horrible tragedies from occurring and, while they support kindness and compassion year-round, Kindness Week was a weeklong set of events to help celebrate that! This year, during each day of SJHHS Teachers Celebrate Kindness Week Kindness Week, different activities were planned for students and staff, planned by the Compassion Crew and supported by school administration and ASB. These activities included: • Tuesday: Students and staff received yellow “Be Kind” bracelets to wear all week and made a pledge to spread compassion and kindness around campus. Students were also asked to send kind text messages to friends and family members and commit to positive interactions on social media. Staff also hung large yellow sunflowers on their doors and windows with inspirational quotes about kindness. • Wednesday: A “Kindness Wall” was hung up in the upper quad on campus filled with Post-Its full of positive messages that students could hand out to friends around campus. ASB also passed our random “Kindness Grams” (a kind message with candy) to students Kindness Wall during lunch. • Thursday: Students received yellow “Keep Calm and Be Kind” t-shirts to wear around campus on Friday. • Friday: All students and staff were asked to wear yellow and attend a school-wide Kindness Celebration with music in the upper quad at lunch. Students could also fill out a paper link to the Kindness Chain and turn it in for a free churro at lunch. As the week drew to a close and students headed off on Thanksgiving Break, consensus among staff and students was that Kindness Week was a huge success! As Compassion Crew member and teacher Kristen Osborn said, “We want to be a school that believes in empathy and compassion and respect for one another. We hope that this week was able to highlight and build upon these qualities which we believe are already present at SJHHS.” Kindness Week Shirts Page 10

INA GARTEN: BAREFOOT CONTESSA RETURNS TO SEGERSTROM CENTER FOR THE ARTS Ina Garten, the American culinary icon, author of 10 New York Times bestselling cookbooks and host of the popular Emmy and James Beard Award-winning Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics show on Food Network, returns to Segerstrom Center for the Arts on Wednesday, December 5. Garten is celebrating her newest cookbook, Cook Like A Pro. She will share stories that bring you behind the scenes of filming her television show (now in its 13th season), writing bestselling cookbooks and enjoying food with friends and family. She will also take questions from the audience. Tickets for Ina Garten start at $49.50 and go on sale Friday, May 11 at 7 a.m. They may be purchased online at SCFTA.org, the Box Office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa or by calling (714) 556-2787. For inquiries about group ticket savings for 20 or more, call the Group Services office at (714) 755-0236. From America’s favorite home cook: recipes, tips, and why-didn’t-I-thinkof-that tricks for cooking your best. In her newest instant-classic cookbook, beloved author Ina Garten shares 85 never-before-published recipes that teach home cooks dependably delicious dishes along with the keys to achieving success and confidence in the kitchen. As seen on her latest television series, Cook Like A Pro, each recipe focuses on techniques, tips, insights, make-ahead guidance, and kitchen efficiency that will turn you into a better and more intuitive cook. From Red Wine Braised Short Ribs to Blue Cheese Grits and a simplified Baked Alaska that will wow your friends, this collection represents Ina’s go-to recipes and techniques that every cook wants to know. In 1978, Ina Garten was working in The White House Office of Management and Budget and thinking that she had to do something more creative and fun than writing nuclear energy budgets! She came across an ad in The New York Times for a specialty food store for sale in the Hamptons and decided to investigate. With her husband Jeffrey, she drove to Long Island the next day to see the store and it was love at first sight. She had no experience in the food business - or in any business! - but knew that this was exactly what she wanted to do. Garten made the owner of the store a low offer, thinking she’d go home and decide if she really wanted to make such a dramatic move. However, the owner called her the next day and said, “I accept
your offer!” After 18 years of perfecting baguettes and chicken salad, Barefoot Contessa was a hugely popular store celebrated both for its delicious food and its style. In 1996, Garten decided that it was time for a new challenge so she sold the store to the manager and the chef. At that point, with nothing to do, she built an office over the store and tried her hand at writing a cookbook. The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook came out in 1999 and turned out to be the most exciting thing she’d ever done professionally. Happily, that first cookbook was a surprise best-seller. By 2002, Garten had published two more cookbooks and started filming a show for Food Network, also called Barefoot Contessa. By 2015, she had published nine cookbooks and filmed 14 years of television shows for Food Network. At the same time, she’d written monthly columns for Martha Stewart Living, Oprah magazine, and House Beautiful. She continues to write a monthly column for Food Network Magazine. This past year marked the publication of Garten’s tenth book, Cooking for Jeffrey, which is not just a collection of recipes for dishes that Jeffrey adores, but it’s also a bit of a love letter to her husband for always encouraging her to do what she loves most. Williams Sonoma is proud to be the official bookseller of Cook Like A Pro for this exciting event. Ticket holders will be able to purchase autographed copies of Ina’s new book in advance of the event by visiting: https://www. williams-sonoma.com/cooklikeapro. Books purchased in advance through Williams Sonoma will be available for pick up at the event. Please note that event tickets and signed books are sold separately, and you must have an event ticket to pick up your preordered book. A limited supply of signed books will be available for purchase in the lobby on the evening of the event as well. Preordering books when purchasing a ticket is strongly recommended.

HOPS & VINES CHARITY CLASSIC RAISES AWARENESS AND $41,220 FOR THREE CHARITIES
The Ladera Ranch News
Richard Ward, Chairman of the Board of Governers with Shahin Vosough Manager of The Center Club
The 12th Annual Hops & Vines Charity Classic hosted by Center Club Orange County was held when an attendance of 300+ people. Breaking last year’s records, the event brought in $41,220. Proceeds from ticket sales and sponsorships benefit Center Club Cares fund, which has selected Orange County School of the Arts to be the 2018 featured beneficiary. “Since the inception of the Charity Classic in 2007, we’ve raised over $20 million for nonprofits nationwide. Last year’s event was not only amazing but record-setting! This year, we added some wonderful new wine and beer brands, and the show-stopping entertainment by Orange County School of the Arts was just perfect.” said Richard Ward, Chairman of the Board of Governors, Center Club Orange County.
Julie and Greg Schneiders
In addition to Orange County School of the Arts, other benefactors from the event included Augie’s Quest to Cure ALS and the ALS Therapy Development Institute and the ClubCorp’s Employee Partners Care Foundation. After a walk on the red carpet, folks were privy to more than 30 award-winning wineries and world-class craft beers, as well as mouthwatering hors d’oeuvres from Executive Chef Lewis Butler. The Raw Bar featuring Alaskan king crab was the hit of the evening as well the “taco” type truck that was constructed with Spanish Tapas. The desserts had many to choose from, but it was the handmade Bacon-Maple, Black Chocolate, and Honey-Saffron “dip n’ dots” that were created in front of you, using liquid nitrogen and a lot of flair; it was truly fitting for the occasion.
Dr. Richard and Sherry Vanmeter
The extremely talented Orange County School of the Arts students performed around the Club during the event, entertaining guests with some smooth saxophone music at the entry, a jazz quartet and full band for those dancers on the dance floor. Founded by ClubCorp and heralded Henry T. Segerstrom, Brandon Moody with Julie Spezziale, Nick Rogers and Jordan Nitz Center Club Orange County is located at 650 Town Center Drive, with valet parking available near the prestigious Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Members of Center Club Orange County enjoy building business relationships at this exclusive club that provides efficient, high-quality business services, networking and an excellent place to host meetings with a fine-dining. Additionally, members may access golf, dining and more across ClubCorp’s industry-leading network of more than 300 owned, operated and alliance clubs and special offerings at more than 1,000 hotels, resorts and entertainment venues.

STAR TREK NEXT GENERATION HOUSE FOR SALE
When Gene Roddenberry wrote the line “Live long and prosper,” in his 1966 television series Star Trek, little did he know that it would be a self-fulfilling prophecy that the series would thrive and continue to be recreated in many forms well into the next century. Its popularity has had generations of Trekkies all over the world scrambling to grab collectibles from the series and one of the best collectibles of them all is the house where the Season 3 episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation that aired in 1989 was filmed. It has just hit the market for $5.695 million. Almost a century - in space time - after Spock and Captain Kirk set out on the original Enterprise to explore space, Star Trek: The Next Generation was the second liveaction television series and had an average of 20 million viewers while it ran from 1989 to 1990. Also created by Gene Roddenberry, it was set in the 24th century and was produced at Paramount Pictures syndicated in the U.S. by Viacom. It was so successful with its faithful Trekkies that it led to two spin-offs: Star Trek: Deep Space and Star Trek: Voyager. Trekkies will also be thrilled to know that it was just announced that there will soon be a two-season Star Trek: Lower Decks, a half-hour animated comedy about the support staff serving on one of Starfleet’s least important ships.
Lower Decks is the second animated series of the Star Trek franchise, which was preceded by Star Trek: The Animated Series, which aired from 1973 to 1974. The entire Star Trek series has won multiples in every conceivable award and includes a Peabody Award in 1988. One of the main stars in Season 3 of The Next Generation was this playfully eclectic, European contemporary-style house which was the main location in which Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his Starship Enterprise crew, including Lt. Worf, land on a seemingly deserted planet. They find two people who appear to have miraculously survived a disaster that claimed the lives of the rest of the population. In the film, the house and grounds appear exactly as they do today, but with the magic of film showed a vast wasteland surrounding the property. Their entire neighborhood for as far as the eye could see, was stolen by a massive spaceship which they were unable to identify. Designed by futuristic architect/ artist and furniture designer Ellis Gelman, the eye popping wedgeshaped house features both circular and triangular windows, as well as dramatic angles. Sited on over two acres on the Pacific Coast Highway, the four-bedroom, four-bath home features a large open-concept main
living area with soaring wood clad ceilings and spectacular views. It has a chef’s kitchen with emeraldstone counter tops, breakfast bar and built-ins, media/family room with kitchenette, loft, 440-square-foot ocean view terrace with glass railing ideal for indoor/outdoor entertaining. There are two fireplaces, master suite with spa-like bath, sound system, slate tile and bamboo flooring, two-car garage, 10-car parking, a detached guest unit/office/gym with bath, an enclosed patio with a lavender and
rose garden. It’s the house made for the serious Trekkie collector who can become a part of his beloved fiction and imagine himself in the first Season 3 scene walking up to the house in wonder just like Captain Jean-Luc Picard did in 1989. New to the market priced at $5.695 million, the listing agent is Ani Dermenjian of Coldwell Banker, Malibu, California.

Bjorn Ikast and Classini are Iconic in the $25,000 1.45m Markel Insurance Jumper Classic Photos by Captured Moment Photography July 19, 2018 - Del Mar, CA - The $25,000 Markel Insurance 1.45m Jumper Classic kept spectators on the edge of their seats as they watched Bjorn Ikast ride to the win on Classini (owned by BBB Show Jumpers, LLC). The course, designed by Anthony D’Ambrosio, included a tight time allowed which narrowed down the field from 32 in the first round to only five riders in the jump-off. In the Blenheim U25 Jumper Classic, which ran concurrently with the grand prix, Hannah Loly took home first place aboard Asombro. With Jaime Azcarraga and For Fashion double clean and fast in the jump-off, Ikast originally planned to just focus on having a clean round. But with his wife’s encouragement, he decided to go for the win which resulted in a time of 40.22 seconds, almost a full second faster than Azcarraga’s 41.19s. “We walked the course and I thought it was a really good jump-off for my horse, I just didn’t think I could beat Jaime [Azcarraga] because he was fast,” Ikast admitted. “And my wife shouted to me, ‘No way, you have to go for it, because you can be faster...’” 2018 has been a great year for the up and coming Classini, a nineyear-old Holsteiner, as this Markel Insurance Jumper Classic is his third big win. Ikast is thrilled about the horse. “I’ve had him for three years and started off in small divisions and now in the grand prix. He jumped absolutely spectacular so I’m really, really happy,” Ikast said. “I’m happy and the owners must be very happy also!” If on the list of top 25 riders that qualify for the Markel Insurance 1.45m Series Final at The Las Vegas National
Bjorn Ikast and Classini with (l-r) Josh Mullins, Melissa Brandes and Brandon Seger CSI4*-W this year, Ikast replied, “Of course I’m going to Vegas! This year, I won’t miss it for anything in the world.” Hannah Loly and Asombro are Top in the Blenheim U25 Jumper Classic Hannah Loly also had a solid ride on Asombro, missing out on the Markel Insurance 1.45m Jumper Classic jump-off by one time fault. As one of three who scored a single fault but the only in the U25 division, Loly’s time of 70.96 seconds earned her the blue ribbon in the U25 Jumper Classic and 8th place in the Markel Insurance 1.45m Jumper Classic.

Hannah Loly and Asombro
The two make a great team and have been competing together for the last three years. Loly said, “He took me from 1.20m to 1.45m, so he’s done a lot for me and I know him very well.” She also expressed her fondness for the U25 program when it runs with the Markel Insurance Jumper Classic, stating, “It’s nice because, we get to compete against all the top professional riders, and we can also compete against people our age.” With the $30,000 Showpark Summer Festival 1.50m Grand Prix on Saturday, the USEF Junior Hunter National Championship and the USHJA Hunterdon Cup Equitation Classic that runs July 23-24, and the FEI CSI 2* classes coming up next week at the Showpark Racing Festival, there’s a lot to look forward to at the Del Mar Horse Park.
