From the Editor-In-Chief

Regular readers of this column know that I pretty much defne my life by relationships. Not titles or net worth, but the inherent decency of the men and women I meet. I’d like to introduce you to another one. Meet my buddy Joe Vuskovich. He and I are both proud products of New Orleans. I’ve never met anyone so universally liked, and whose soul is less attuned to its owner’s needs than those of others. Joe runs five local restaurants called Yats (www.yatscajuncreole.com), after the particular New Orleans accent that still lingers in his speech more than a decade after moving to Indianapolis. Funny thing is, even though we have a bunch of mutual friends back home, we’d never met till Joe opened his now famous crazy, Cajun, Creole eatery on College just south of Broad Ripple. It’s tough for me to call Yat’s a restaurant (and Joe won’t take ofense to that). With its authentic New Orleans fare, French Quarter fair, and bargain basement prices, it’s more diner than restaurant. Diner’s probably a stretch. Let’s go with dive. And dive right in you’ll do when a server shouts your name and delivers your heaping plate of étoufée, red beans and rice or jambalaya to your table. Tis is after you’ve waited in line – a long line – to read the menu on the iconic chalkboard. Like Joe, Yat’s isn’t fancy. Fancy can’t get within a couple blocks of this joint. Yat’s is kitschy and campy. Its walls are adorned with all things New Orleans. Tink Mardi Gras beads, a Rue de Bourbon street sign – a real one – even a miniature carousel pony from an equally miniature merry-go-round. I don’t know where he got it. I’m not going to ask, but you can. He’ll tell you a story about it. What Joe’s probably not going to talk about are the countless number of folks he’s opened up his heart, his home, his kitchen and his wallet to so they can get up and at ’em with jobs and advice and lots of genuine love – often of the “tough” kind. He’s bailed them out of all sorts of trouble, and given them the gift of a good job till their feet are solidly under them. Joe’s Will Rogers “I never met anyone I didn’t like” attitude has resulted in kudos which he shrugs of, and a burgeoning business introducing Hoosiers to our hometown’s fnest food. His latest venue is in Carmel, and who knows where thereafter. If you haven’t had genuine NOLA (none of that N’awlins talk in Joe’s presence – the Yat’s dialect results in a much more smooth pronunciation. Ask him to demonstrate it!) red beans, you’re in for a treat. And when you’re there, be sure to say hello to my buddy Joe. Te coolest cat in town.

Sommelier Selections

Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier

What wines would I recommend? I regularly get asked to recommend bottles of wine. This recommendation may be for the person asking or as a gift for a friend or business associate. Usually, the request is as simple as inquiring what Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay I would suggest. I sometimes get an unusual look because I answer their question but then recommend an alternative from a completely diferent grape and region. I am not trying to say the wine I suggest is better or that I do not like Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay, as I do believe they are world-class grapes and are a real pleasure to drink. However, I love variety, and there are so many grapes from so many countries producing world class wines, it is hard to be as excited about Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon as some of the wines of the beaten path. Sometimes these wines may have pejorative stereotypes or difcult to pronounce names, or they are just wines the average wine afcionada has not heard of before. I have recommended below a white wine, red wine and a dessert wine to try that may be a bit challenging to find but are truly exceptionally wines and worth the efort. White - Grüner Veltliner Considered the sommelier’s wine because of its versatility in pairing with food, Grüner Veltliner is the number one grape of Austria. Te Germanic name scares some people into thinking it will be sweet, but it is not. Most quality Grüner Veltliner comes from the Niederösterreich region of Austria, and its three most prevalent sub regions Wachau, Kremstal and Kamptal. Generalizing about Grüner Veltliner is difcult, but you could say it comes in three diferent styles. Te frst is a quafng style – light, crisp, refreshing, a tasty aperitif or accompaniment to spicy food or grilled bratwurst. Te second would be a medium-body style – racy acidity, and the favors of white pepper, white peach, nectarine, apple, citrus and a slight herbal/green favor like lentil and minerality. Te last style is a full-bodied style – which strikes the balance of crisp acidity, minerality and rich forward fruit. Tis is a style from the Wachau region of Austria called Smaragd, which refers to the ripening level of the grape. Grüner Veltliner is not a wine that needs oak; it has plenty of refreshing favor with out it. Suggested producers of Austrian Grüner Veltliner are Allram (Kamptal), Machherndl (Wachau) and Martin Nigl (Kremstal). Red - Grenache Grenache is planted all over the world. By almost all accounts, it originated in Spain, but France has more Grenache planted. It is a thin-skinned grape that excels to its highest levels in the

southern Rhône of France. It is regularly blended with other grapes like Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault and Carignan. It may not be as well-known as Syrah because you do not see the grape listed on the label, as wines from the southern Rhône are named after the place in which they are grown, as opposed to the grape. Grenache is typically full-bodied with the favors of red cherry, kirshwasser, raspberry, some black fruits, red licorice, pepper and earthy favors of forest foor, leather, and what is called garrigue, which is the smell or taste of Provençal herbs and lowland shrubs. Some of the great places or villages where it is made in the southern Rhône are Châteauneuf-duPape, Gigondas, Vasqueras, Lirac and a wine made from a blend of some of the better villages of the southern Rhône: Côtes-du-Rhône-Village. Suggested producers of southern Rhône Grenache: are Mas de Boislauzon Côtes du Rhône Villages, Gigondas Bouissière and Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Dessert - Malmsey Madeira is best known only from its eponymous island off the coast of Morocco, which is part of Portugal. Te unique character of Madeira is that it undergoes a heating process for several months after fermentation. This practice evolved in the 18th century when it was noticed that wines, which were shipped through the tropics, improved markedly. Tis heating process, combined with fortification, long barrel aging and high acidity account for its long age-ability and even more unusual, its ability to remain drinkable for years once opened. Malmsey is my favorite Madeira grape: it is a cozy, sweetly seductive and downright ethereal wine; the perfect libation for a cold winter evening and an excellent full-bodied, rich, sweet wine to end your meal with. Malmsey is typically available at fve, 10 and 15 years old. Madeiras are all aged in barrel for the aforementioned period of time and do not continue to mature in the bottle. A Colheita Madeira is the product of one vintage and is aged a minimum of fve years. Suggested producers of Malmsey Madeira are Blandy’s 5 Year, Broadbent 10 Year and Cossart Gordon Colheita 1994. sl

Curating a Lifestyle: Afairs of the Heart

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, florists and chocolatiers are readying for their biggest selling season of the year, and fine dining establishments are squeezing in every two-top table for which they can fnd an extra nook. If food, chocolate and fowers are getting old for you and your sweetheart, check out how lovers in the not-so-distant past memorialized their feelings on this worldwide holiday. From speculative beginnings in Pagan ritual and Catholic sainthood, St. Valentine’s Day was ofcially declared as February 14 by Pope Gelasius at the end of the 5th century. Te evolution from church holiday to romantic intent is uncertain, but the earliest known Valentine remaining in existence is a poem written by an imprisoned Duke of Orleans to his wife in 1415. Throughout the Renaissance and into the development of the western world, Valentine’s Day became an opportunity to openly avow one’s deepest heartfelt sentiments.

Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers

Early paper Valentines may have been influenced by Swiss and Germans in the 16th Century, who brought their customs to the new world, particularly as they settled the areas in and around Pennsylvania. Scherenschnitte was the custom of paper-cutting and drawing in a symmetrical pattern, commonly used to create love letters and Valentines. For Americana collectors, Valentines from the late 18th and early 19th century, while rare, are available and may appeal to both romantic and historic interests. Some collectors fnd satisfaction in utilizing census and other records to trace maker and recipient. Additional genealogical information, while providing interesting historical context, also adds to the monetary value of the object. Another signifcant factor that afects value is condition: tears along fold lines are not uncommon, and acid staining from original frames is often an issue. Terrific details and robust colors can dramatically afect the value of the earliest paper Valentines.

For years we have collected paper Valentines, as well as early bookplates and fraktur (birth and marriage records). For us, there is little comparison between a mass-produced card and an early example of deep personal sentiment, hand drawn on such a precious commodity as paper; complete with delicate fold lines from decades of preservation. A wonderful book on the subject of early paper gifts sums up our philosophy. From Te Gift is Small Te Love Is Great by Frederick Weiser: “...they are flled with a combination of color, whimsy, piety and design that provide a remarkable window onto the soul of America’s largest cultural minority.”

With paper a scarce resource for settlers moving west, husbands and fathers sometimes used the construction of utilitarian objects as an opportunity to express their love and commitment to their wives and daughters. During the mid-19th century, stylized heart motifs can be found on everything from kitchen utensils to furniture. What better way to epitomize his sentiment, than to work a simple design or symbol of afection into an object his love would be using each and every day? Later into the 19th and early 20th century, the industry of valentines began to grow, with options provided by skillful entrepreneurs including weavers who incorporated the symbol into coverlets and island women who crafted delicate shell art for sailors. A popular folk art example are steel shoe mats that were made from sheet steel and bent into interconnected 1” hearts. During the Victorian era, handmade gave way to handembellishment of manufactured valentines. Combined with a

newly afordable penny post, the mailing of greeting cards was made possible for anyone who wanted. Te resulting boom helped to create and grow some very large and successful companies, including Hallmark and American Greetings. Tese manufactured examples, with personalization, are very afordable to collect. This Valentine’s Day, broaden your sweetheart’s horizons and forget the same-old, same-old. Instead, consider a vintage or antique sentiment that will truly be cherished for a lifetime (or two).

Spring/Summer 2013 According to Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, a global authority on color that has surveyed the designers of New York Fashion Week and beyond for the past 20 years, the palette on the runways for the spring/summer 2013 fashion shows emphasized â&#x20AC;&#x153;the need for balance, while at the same time allowing for individuality, selfexpression and excitement.â&#x20AC;? Apropos for the return of spring, shades of green were prevalent, from subtle Grayed Jade to vibrant Emerald. African Violet was incorporated into unexpected combinations, such as being paired with Poppy Red, a seductive, sensual and celebratory shade. Citrus colors of Nectarine and Lemon Zest certainly added pep and interest. Dusk Blue and Grayed 38 slmag.net

Jade served as the season’s new neutrals, with Dusk Blue offering a calming sense of serenity to its green counterpart. Another neutral, Linen, anchored pairings with Monaco Blue and Poppy Red. Added Eiseman, “We all know how a becoming color radiating into the skin can make us look healthier. As we are trying to bring out that ‘rosy glow,’ especially on days when we are not feeling great, wearing the complement to the reds, pinks and roses in the teal of the blue green family is universally fattering. It would be a pretty boring world fashion-wise to choose just one color, so it is fun to experiment with many colors.” sl

Stirred and Shaken

Touring the English countryside in Aston Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Vanquish Written by Eric Williams

slmag.net

Te epitome of bucolic perfection with its verdant rolling hills punctuated by sleepy medieval market villages, centuriesold pubs, castles and historic manor houses, the idyllic English countryside also happened to be the perfect backdrop to test the mettle of another quintessential British icon – the new Aston Martin Vanquish. Sophisticated Living was invited to be part of an exclusive gathering: the frst wave of journalists from around the world to experience a lifestyle event that immersed participants in a bespoke experience beftting the storied brand. Arriving at London’s Heathrow airport, we were collected by our driver and chaufeured to nearby Buckinghamshire and on to Tyringham Hall, a historic, privately owned estate situated amidst 50-acres of carefully manicured parkland that was to be our home base for three days of driving bliss. A team of butlers who would be at our disposal for the duration of our stay were waiting for us as we approached the stately green-domed residence – originally designed by Sir John 48 slmag.net

Soane in 1792 – via a sweeping drive lined by an avenue of lime trees. In the early 1920s, Sir Edwin Lutyens was commissioned to adorn the formal gardens of the estate with long pools (one of which, at 72m, is purportedly the largest in Western Europe) and classically inspired temples, namely the Bathing Pavilion and Te Temple of Music. An ornamental lake added in 1926 was dug by hand at the behest of the estate’s owner at the time, who sought to provide work for the laboring classes during the year of the General Strike. Purchased by the current owners in 2001, the estate has been restored to better than original condition with 28 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a pair of elegant reception rooms, a grand dining room, media screening room with capacity for 50 people, and an indoor spa pool. The interiors, while quintessentially English, are imbued with contemporary twists to remain relevant to the likes of globetrotting tastemakers. The private home is available for rent to discerning clientele.

After a tour of the home and grounds, our group settled in for a proper high tea. Te throaty rumble of a feet of sports cars abruptly interrupted the tranquility of the idyllic environs, and we raced to the windows to observe a pulse quickening rainbow of handsome 6.0-liter V12 supercars fltering down the drive. Aesthetically, the Vanquish displays clear and coherent cues linking it to the Aston Martin lineage while boldly stating that it represents the vibrant future of the luxury brand. Notable stylistic elements include an elegant new waist, a carbon fber splitter, side skirts and rear difuser, elongated side strakes, and a new Aero Duct on the rear boot lid, a passive engineering feature that counteracts lift at the car’s rear when traveling at speed. Each member of our intimate party was assigned a car as well as a personal pit crew who gave us an overview of the car’s significant features. This same small army would meet us at each stop to buff and shine each vehicle to showroom condition in time for the resumption of our journey, making us feel like celebrities as people peeked out from windows and stopped in their tracks on street corners in every small village we

passed through. Each evening the crew collected the vehicles to remediate any signs of the wear and tear inficted as we put the car through its paces each day. Following our introduction, we were given a detailed driving map for each day’s adventure. As I settled into the cockpit, I noted how the seat comfortably “hugged” me, how user friendly the interface was, the quality and tailoring of the quilted leather and Alacantra headlining, and, how the roar of the V12 engine at the push of the launch control button – a sound that is unmistakably Aston Martin – made me envision myself as James Bond, even if just for a split second. Te new Driver Information Module (DIM) is a feature the Vanquish shares with Aston Martin’s now sold-out One-77 supercar. Te digital displays have been revised following feedback from existing owners, now permanently showing a digital speedometer and a trip computer. Our first destination was Newport Pagnell, the home of Aston Martin Works, renowned worldwide as the official service and heritage division of Aston Martin.

suite spotlessness, span every Aston Martin model from the DB2 to the One-77. Historic Aston Martin Works, run by Kingsley RidingFelce, has a loyal clientele who own Aston Martin’s both old and new (including a DB5 once owned by Paul McCartney that was completely restored and recently sold for £344,400 at auction). On any day in the workshop it is not unusual to see cars bearing registration plates from as far afeld as Kuwait, Japan and the United States. The Aston Martin Works showroom is open six days a week and on Sundays by appointment. An on-site Heritage showroom, with space large enough to showcase up to a dozen examples of the Aston Martin breed at a time, is slated to open by mid-2013. Standing alongside a Vanquish that had been sliced in half to better understand the unseen elements that contribute to the 52 slmag.net

car’s signifcance – namely that for the frst time in an Aston Martin, carbon fber is used to make every external panel – was Aston Martin’s Chief Exterior Designer Miles Nurnberger, who shared some background on the design process. He likened the quiet elegance of the Vanquish to a man donning a bespoke suit – “It is always noticed but never shouts.” Aston Martin’s Adaptive Damping System (ADS) allowed us to switch between three distinct damping modes: Normal, Sport and Track, delivering instant adjustment of the car’s ride and handling characteristics. While a great majority of our driving was done in Sport mode to accommodate the tight turns of country roads, time spent in Normal mode on the interstate demonstrated that the Vanquish is a thoroughbred British luxury sports car that’s also well suited as a daily driver. With such a powerful V12 engine (565 bhp at 6,750 rpm and

0-62mph in 4.1 seconds) under the hood, the near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution, combined with intuitive shifting determined by an electronic control unit that takes sensor readings from the car’s system to prevent engine damage by placing the car in the proper gear when I was decelerating into a turn, made the driving experience efficient and engaging. New generation Pirelli P-Zero tires have been developed especially for the car, along with new 20-inch lightweight alloy wheels. On subsequent days we visited the Jockey Club Rooms, which have been at the heart of British horseracing for over 250 years and are one of Britain’s last remaining Private Members’ Clubs for the esteemed characters of the racing community and equally impressive thoroughbreds of the equine variety at The National Stud, whose origins date

back to 1916. During lunch at the Jockey Club Rooms, we admired an art collection featuring signifcant works by many of the key fgures in British sporting art. Dinners at Tyringham Hall each evening were a formal afair, preempted by cocktails in the library. During our fnal evening together I had the pleasure of being seated next to the afable Dr. Ulrich Bez, CEO of Aston Martin since 2000 and chief architect of the company’s highly successful modern era. His passion for design, textures and functionality was readily apparent, but what I found most intriguing was his giddiness in discussing a carbon fber iPad case he was developing, proof that even the smallest details are cause for excitement at Aston Martin. The Aston Martin Vanquish is priced from $279,995 MSRP, with first deliveries expected to begin across the Americas in early 2013. sl slmag.net

F1 Racing Returns to the US

An exuberant crowd of 117,429 packed the new purpose-built, $400 million, 330-acre Circuit of The Americas track and entertainment venue in Austin, Texas, on November 18th to mark the triumphant return of Formula 1 racing in the United States. Vodafone McLaren Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton passed pole winner Sebastian Vettel’s Red Bull at lap 42 of 56 on the 3.4-mile, 20-turn circuit to claim his fourth Grand Prix of the season and his second United States Grand Prix victory in fve years, having won the 2007 F1 race last hosted in Indianapolis.

Vettel, who went on to claim his third consecutive world championship title at the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos on November 25th was second, with Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso fnishing in third. Prior to the race, the traditional Drivers’ Parade was given an American twist as each of the 24 drivers took a parade lap in a classic American car from the 1960s or 1970s. Donning cowboy hats, the top three finishers were greeted on the podium by American racing legend Mario Andretti, the

last American to win a grand prix. “You have the resolve and did a fabulous race,” Andretti said to Hamilton, then asked for his reaction to being a frst-time winner on the Circuit of Te Americas. “I’m so happy,” replied Hamilton. “Te fans have been amazing this weekend. Te warm welcome we’ve had has been fantastic, and I think this is one of the best, if not the best, Grand Prix we’ve had all year. It’s been a long, long time since I had a win. I’m just so proud.” Second place fnisher Vettel, who came to Austin for his 100th grand prix start concurred, “Actually I did my frst race

fve years ago last time we were racing the in U.S. All in all a great race and a great result for us.” Parties popped up all over the city to capitalize on the high profle event, which drew well-heeled fans from around the globe. On November 16, 17 and 19, Blu at the W hosted a series of nine luxury events, including a “Full Tilt Fashion” show with a portion of ticket proceeds donated to Te Center for Child Protection. “We showed the world that Formula 1 has a new U.S. home in Austin, Texas,” said Circuit Chairman Bobby Epstein. sl

Petite Paradise

Written by Bridget Williams

Te 115-acre island boasts nearly two-miles of white sand beaches.

A diminutive private isle in the Grenadines is big on luxury Outside of its 115-acres of secluded, jaw-dropping natural beauty, arguably what is most notable about Petite St. Vincent (PSV), a private island located in the Grenadine Island chain in the Caribbean nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, is what is lacking: in-room phones, internet and televisions, a formal check-in and even room keys! Being happily positioned of the tourist mainstream means that there are no direct flights to PSV, but the adventure in getting there is part of the fun. Barbados is the major gateway for most travelers and offers the chance to stay a few days to gradually settle into the Caribbeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lenitive mores. For the 50-minute connecting flight to Union Island, guests are met by a representative of PSV and escorted through immigration formalities. The lower flying altitude mandated by the small twin-engine aircraft afords breathtaking vistas of crystal clear

blue-green waters dotted with tiny islands. After landing at one of the tiniest airports you will likely ever visit, PSVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jovial ferry boat captain and his crew collect your bags and escort you to the dock for a 25-minute ride to PSV. As the island slowly comes into view, signs of habitation are limited: thatched roofs of the beach bar restaurant main pavilion, private palapas scattered along the West End beach and a few generously spaced hillside cottages. Tanks to an outlying coral reef, calm water waves gently lap at the beach on this side of the island, which faces Petite Martinique. After quenching our thirst with a fruity tropical beverage ofered after disembarking from the ferry, we loaded into one of the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic powder blue mini-moke vehicles for transport to our cottage.

the late Hazen “Haze” K. Richardson II. After Richardson’s death following a swimming accident in Costa Rica in 2008, his widow continued operating the resort for two years before selling it to friends and business partners Robin Paterson and Philip Stephenson, whose company, Freedom Resorts, Ltd., immediately set into motion a plan to upgrade the existing infrastructure and add amenities focused on luxury travel, but without mitigating the natural beauty, privacy and casual elegance that has kept guests returning (often to the same cottage on the same dates) for decades. Also the same is the number and location of the 16 onebedroom and six two-bedroom cottages spread amongst the two-miles of white sand beaches and on the blufs. Tose seeking maximum privacy should opt for one of fve bluf cottages that overlook Conch Bay. As we crested a small hill en route to our two-bedroom oceanfront cottage, we were entranced by a vibrant streak of blue water visible under the heavy canopy of palm trees and tropical vegetation. Separated from the beach by a short sea wall lined with impressive conch shells collected and left for all to admire by prior guests, a pair of spacious bedroom suites were conjoined by a covered open air living and dining area

with Balinese-inspired furnishings. Te same blue bitch stone quarried on-island and used for the exterior walls also features predominantly as an interior design feature as well. Vaulted ceilings are defned by handsome Purple Heart hardwood. At the edge of the covered outdoor living area, limestone tile foors give way to teak decking with a dining table for four at one end and a double day bed at the other. Thoughtful design touches include hand painted stoneware tissue holders and soap dishes by Earthworks pottery in Barbados, natural shell and braided jute drapery tiebacks and driftwood table lamps and pendant lighting. Tere are no locks on the doors, another poignant reminder of the island’s exclusivity, but there are in-room safes if you are not ready to let your guard down completely. Interestingly, long-time guests, often reluctant to change the things etched in their collective memories, were initially up in arms about the addition of air conditioning in the bedrooms when the cottages were refurbished in 2011. General Manager Matt Semark pointed out that in the heat of summer even the most ardent opponents of change were thankful to retreat to the cool confnes of their room after a day in the sun.

are screened to take advantage of the constant cooling trade winds should you opt to forgo the A/C. One of the most endearing and enduring forms of communication on the island centers around two fags and a bamboo “tube” on a driftwood pole at the head of the path leading to each cottage. If you need a pillow, want to order afternoon tea, breakfast or the like, simply write your request on the provided forms, place it in the tube and run up the yellow fag where it will be retrieved by staf who constantly monitor the cottages via bicycle, foot or mini-moke. Conversely, should you wish complete privacy, simply run up the red fag and you are on your own. Wanting to test the efciency of the system, we put in an early-afternoon request for late afternoon tea shortly after our arrival and were pleasantly surprised when a proper high tea service was delivered exactly as indicated. After exploring our accommodations, we raced to lay claim to an oversized hammock strung between a pair of palm trees at the water’s edge. Tose of us too slow happily settled into a plush lounge chair positioned under a thatched roof cabana. While other cottages were visible, generous spacing and lush tropical foliage ensures a feeling of secluded euphoria – there was nary a footprint on the powdery white sands as far as we could see in either direction.

Room service is delivered via mini-moke.

A short walk down the beach, a wooden pier with a covered seating area over the water serves as a perfect jumping of point for exploring the snorkeling trail that encircles the island (those adverse to choppier waters will want to snorkel near the beach restaurant or the West End beaches on the other side of the island). PSV’s all-inclusive format, with the exception of alcohol, allows food and beverages to be taken at any location on the island. Each morning we reveled in a king’s feast of lobster omelets and pastries among other delights served al fresco just outside our room. Taking a break from snorkeling, lunch was had at the beachfront restaurant where we dined with our feet in the sand at tables fashioned from tree trunks and driftwood while admiring the colorful houses of Petite Martinique in the ofng. Each week a bountiful surf and turf beach barbeque is hosted at the site, accompanied by a steel drum band. During the day many guests opt to have lunch or tea delivered to a private beach palapas on the secluded West End, which also employs the fag system of communication. Perched on a hill above the beach restaurant, dinner at the main pavilion is one of the few instances where you will be reminded that there are actually other guests on the island

(and the only place where you can get a WiFi connection should you not be able to undergo a complete technology detox). The bar is the site of a weekly manager’s cocktail reception, and the three-course dinner menu changes nightly and always features meat, seafood and vegetarian options. I found the service to be friendly, prompt (by Caribbean standards) and accommodating to specific dietary requests. Entrees ran the gamut from grilled swordfish with balsamic pickled vegetables and mango salsa to vegetable potato cakes with roma tomato and goat cheese. As part of continuing upgrades, a citrus plantation is planned as part of the existing chef ’s garden, located in a verdant valley protected by a natural seagrape fence. One of the island’s newest amenities is a hillside spa constructed as a series of tree house-like buildings that traverse up steep Marni Hill. The husband and wife management team of Matt Semark and Anie Ardiani most recently directed properties in Bali, and they have infused

the spa with discernable Indonesian infuence, from the staf to the proprietary blend of PSV aromatherapy oils and body scrubs. One of the most indulgent experiences offered is a 150-minute head-to-toe couples treatment. A yoga pavilion facing Conch Bay is ideal for those seeking harmony of mind, body and spirit. A comprehensive water sports program takes full advantage of PSV’s warm, clear waters to satiate guests seeking more active pursuits. Arranging snorkeling, sailing, kayaking, windsurfng, scuba diving, fshing and boat charters is as easy as the short walk to the water sports building near the boat dock. Complimentary equipment is available for those interested in utilizing the foodlit tennis court near the main pavilion. A ftness and running trail with 20 stations winds around the island, and hiking the trail to the top of Marni Hill takes your breath away for multiple reasons (those with runner’s knees like me will want to descend via the trail near the water tower to be kindest to your joints). Do not forget your camera to capture the panoramic views!

Captain Jef Stevens' wooden sloop 'Beauty' is available for full and halfday charters.

Experience an afternoon of amour by arranging to be dropped off for a few hours with a picnic lunch and snorkeling gear at nearby Mopion Island, an idyllic white sand bar that has been the subject of countless magazine covers. A seemingly celluloid version of Caribbean perfection, the thin sliver of white sand, interrupted only by a thatch umbrella, seems to foat on the transparent sea. For adventure further afield, book a day charter aboard Captain Jef Stevens’ wooden sloop “Beauty,” a handsome ship he built by hand with his crewmates using indigenous woods from Petite Martinique. Our half-day’s journey to Tobago Cays marine park, an archipelago comprised of five small uninhabited islands and one of the flming locales for Pirates of the Caribbean: Te Curse of the Black Pearl, took us to some of the most postcard perfect waters I have ever seen. Tough the calm-water snorkeling was outstanding, I will have to admit that I was more than relieved to set foot on dry land in pursuit of gargantuan iguanas on Baradel Island in order to gain respite from the seasickness that seemed to plague only me throughout

the afternoon. Also available for day or fishing charters are “Black Pearl,” a 38’ Vedette Seminole, “Hera,” a 43’ Tiara, and “Zeus II,” a 41’ Sports Fisherman. Prodded by the encouragement of the general manager, an accomplished dive master who remarked that the diving in the Grenadines is far superior to the much touted Maldives, we signed on for a half-day, two-tank scuba course. After a brief introduction to make us comfortable with the equipment and procedures, we descended to depths of 32 feet around the resort to explore the diversity of marine life from a new perspective. Te one-on-one instruction provided for each of us ensured our complete safety and hooked us on the scuba experience. On the morning of our departure we took one final walk down the deserted beach where we spied the tip of a conch shell peeking out from the sand. After digging out the unblemished specimen, we returned and placed it on the wall outside our cottage alongside the others, thereby joining an exclusive club of those privy to the simple pleasures of this private island escape. sl

Picture Perfect Slice of Urban Gentility A journey through a faded â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;30s masterpiece lovingly brought back to a timeless, modernist aesthetic. 68 slmag.net

Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung By todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards of big is always better and more is unequivocally more, this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s featured house is refreshingly modest in scale, if not in ambition. Located on Spring Mill Road near Sunset Lane, in a well-established neighborhood of shade trees and rambling informal gardens, the setting ofers a near picture-perfect slice of urban gentility. Built in 1939, this timelessly elegant sandstone two-story home sits on a generously proportioned lot, most of which has been freshly landscaped over the past decade, featuring a number of sizable weeping cedars from the Northwest. Te interior of the house was remodeled almost entirely by the owners.

slmag.net

Te living room is a mix of contemporary classics, antiques, and childhood pieces blended to create a comfortable, relaxed setting. Years of collected art, most of it locally procured, adds color and personality to the space.

When Matt Harris, an interior designer and founder of MW Harris LLC, and Mike Johnson, a local real estate agent, purchased the property some thirteen years ago, they faced a heroic challenge. Few improvements had been made over the preceding three decades: the foor on the entire ground level was decked in shag pile carpet, and there were at least two layers of wallpaper throughout. Te task of discovering and recovering the inherent beauty of the home from its seventies cocoon became a labor of love, a project that was not accomplished overnight. Setting the tone for our tour of the public rooms, the study immediately of the main hallway projects efortless eclecticism, marrying elements, which in lesser hands might otherwise be no more than randomly associated objects, into a seamless expression of these two gentlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique sensibilities. Leather French club chairs from 1914 take their place beside African ivory currency, ffteenth century Chinese altar bells and Venetian glass from Murano. Precisely and meticulously presented, this is the kind of highly personal collection you simply cannot purchase by the yard. 70 slmag.net

Dark walls and kingwood recessed shelves set the tone for this masculine room. Antique leather French mustacheback club chairs in their original leather are paired with a classic Eileen Gray side table. Art, collected objects and selected books fll the shelves.

Te sunroom was completely reconstructed, and is appointed with painted paneled walls and sets of mahogany French doors. Contemporary and antique pieces and artifacts mingle for a fresh eclectic mix.

Te dining room is anchored by an over-scaled minimal lantern hovering over a reproduction antique table and surrounded by iconic contemporary chairs. Te sideboard was created from the owners’ previous dining table, by sawing into two parts and topped by a new piece of marble.

Across the deeply stained oak foors and past the eighteenth century maple grandfather clock and the robust Heppelthwaite occasional table, one enters the living room with its original limestone fireplace and travertine hearth. Here, a Giacometti-like bronze horse sculpture takes front and center. Matt and Mike grew up with horses, so it’s a motif one sees repeated throughout the home in an intriguing range of incarnations. Wood block prints enhance the pronounced angles, while a whimsical assortment of pumice spheres provide a decorative counterpoint. To introduce more space and light into this room, a cofered ceiling was added, opening up the space and enhancing its crisp lines. Moving to the dining room, one’s attention is immediately drawn to the seventy-inch round table with its hewn cherry wood top. Surmounted by what appears to be a saucer-shaped shield containing more decorative spheres, it’s an imposing piece. In striking contrast with this solid, almost rustic table, are the Louis XIV ghost chairs. Transparent and practically invisible, fashioned from polycarbonate by Kartell of Italy, these remarkable furnishings were designed by Phillippe Starck. In spite of their austere appearance, they happen to be surprisingly comfortable. A splash of color comes from a framed swath of gingham fabric purchased at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Te room is fnished with a whimsical side table, created from a larger piece, which was split in two diagonally, then topped with matching elongated triangular marble slabs. 74 slmag.net

Te stair has a classic but simple fnish treatment which makes an elegant statement, leaving the upper landing for a variety of art to provide personality.

slmag.net

Stronger colors, a rich brassy green on the walls, strong turquoise drapery and a magenta tribal head piece add drama to the space and are balanced with simple furnishings and lots of warm white tones.

An iconic Eames chair is juxtaposed with a more traditional four-poster bed dressed with more contemporary bed linens and pillows. Te lighter gray walls provide a neutral background for the art and furnishings.

76 slmag.net

A painted paneled wall serves as a backdrop for the bed and side tables. Marble tops were added to the side tables where paired lamps and art complete this focal wall. Dark gray walls, ebonized oak foors, and an over-dyed Tibetan carpet in gray envelop the remainder of the room.

When it came to doing something about the old back porch, the owners decided the only viable option would be to tear it down and start again. Now a bright, airy space with mahogany French doors and foors fabricated from recycled glass, it has become part conservatory, part sitting room, with a deep comfortable sofa and supersized potted plants. The glass tile floor continues into the kitchen, a masterpiece of function and formality. Previously two rooms, its utilitarian white tile (again from recycled glass) and rigorous angles bring to mind the austere utilitarianism of below-the-stairs kitchens of Victorian England. But closer look reveals a touch of whimsy: the main work surface is framed with turned wooden legs to resemble a farmhouse kitchen table; the wall tiles capture and reflect the changing light with the passage of the sun; the glassware cabinet is built from kingwood into the side of the refrigerator surround, utilizing space many of us would ignore. In the kitchen, Calcutta golden marble makes its frst appearance as an imposing work surface; elsewhere it recurs as tile in the master bathroom, as honed marble in the powder room and honed subway tile in the upstairs shower. Troughout the house, much of the artwork is either by local artists, or has been discovered by Matt and Mike at fairs and dealers around the country. An African headdress adorns a wall in a guest bedroom, just a few feet away from a nineteenth-century Scandinavian desk. In the master bedroom, an overdyed Tibetan rug from Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provides a timeless counterpoint to the roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modernist aesthetic. Te house is full of such surprises and pleasures, amply demonstrating that smaller, frequently, is far more beautiful. sl

BLACK MARKET DINING {Not with a Swagger, but a Gastronautâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lope} Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung

80 slmag.net

Back in the early 1990s, right at the beginning of the Indiana food revolution, a tiny restaurant opened in Zionsville to little fanfare, but to huge acclaim from those in the know. Called Panache, it barely seated thirty, its menu changed every week, and the soundtrack was exclusively bebop. Minimalist in design, and apparently decorated for under a hundred dollars, it was clear that all the money and efort went into what was on the plate: ravishing dishes prepared from the freshest ingredients in ways seldom before seen in these parts. Unpretentious and unashamedly hedonistic, Panache over-delivered during its brief tenure near the top of Indyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dining hierarchy. When, for reasons too numerous to mention, Panache closed its doors after eight years in business, many local diners, myself included, wondered if we would ever see its like again: a restaurant both unassuming yet supremely accomplished, a place where ambition is matched only by achievement, where ego and grandstanding take a seat in the back yard; in short, impeccable food served with the minimum of fuss in a cool and convivial environment, prepared with genuine care and painstaking attention to detail. Now is that really too much to ask?

slmag.net

Enter Black Market, a restaurant which defnes cool without pandering to the hip, a shrine to everything that’s wholesome, responsible and honest in modern gastronomy, delivered not so much with a swagger but with a confdent lope, loose-limbed and slightly gangly. Tis place (or its owners, to be more precise) is so modest, that for the longest time it didn’t even post a sign outside. Neophyte visitors would fnd themselves driving haplessly around the east end of downtown, wondering if they had driven too far, or not far enough. If the black exterior is a tad intimidating in a Gothic kind of way, then perhaps that’s just as well, because this is a grown-up place, serving grown-up food and refreshment: a place if you want to take your children, you’ll have to wait until they can legally drink. It’s an establishment aimed fair and square at people who love to indulge in the visceral aspects of eating and imbibing; this isn’t just food as fuel, or something to get us through the day. Black Market dishes up grub we can really sink our teeth into, and relish the wonderful comestibles that nature provides. Provocative and occasionally challenging, it’s a celebration of eating for pleasure, and, perhaps best of all, there are no TVs. You bring your own entertainment.

And the entertainment had better be witty and informed, because at Black Market the chances are good that you will fnd yourself seated at a long communal table with like-minded gastronauts. Taking some inspiration from dining of old, this establishment cheerfully eschews the white tablecloth and silver service, the gliding sommelier and the prissy Maitre d’. Simply decorated, with plenty of exposed brick, beams and stone, Black Market’s stark and utilitarian décor invites us to focus on what’s on the table in front of us. Te brainchild of restaurateur Ed Rudisell (owner of the excellent and highly-rated Siam Square) and Micah Frank, a former chef at R Bistro, Black Market’s kitchen brings into play a wide range of culinary infuences and interests, ranging from Tai to Mexican, and points in between by way of the now thriving localist nose-to-tail movement. Offering a frequently changing menu, with enough daily specials to keep even the most regular of regulars constantly occupied, Black Market’s dishes refect the best of the season. Tere’s a strong emphasis on pork, duck and fsh: intensely favored broths take the place of the rich creamy sauces offered in many a lesser, more hidebound establishment. Long-braised meats take front and center, frequently the cuts of meat many might leave behind at the butcher’s shop in favor of something higher on the beast. Te Pickled Plate is a favorite, capturing the essence of the season, from spring ramps to fall beets, but almost always with a vinegary hard-boiled egg and a generous dollop of loose and sweetly spicy peanut butter, a Tai infuence, which seems to go perfectly with almost anything acetic. Te menu is short, but thrillingly to the point, ofering a mere handful of appetizers and main courses, as well as a couple of desserts. It wouldn’t be fair to say that there’s something for everyone, because Black Market doesn’t exactly cater to the middle; it takes not only a certain sense of adventure to eat here, but also a small leap of faith in Chef Micah’s ability to deliver excitement with every bite, regardless of one’s perception of the ingredients. And deliver he does: favors and textures are complex, layered and nuanced, efortlessly combining the traditional with the new, with a strong emphasis on savory, umami-laden preparations leaving you satisfed but never stufed. As well as a succinct but magically all-encompassing list of boutique wines and craft beers, Black Market has also found itself drifting into the wonderful world of rums, whiskies and sherries. If you don’t have time for a three-course meal, I would strongly suggest dropping by for an imaginative and startlingly intense cocktail, accompanied perhaps by a plate of pickles or some duck buns. I guarantee you’ll be back to try out the entire menu.. sl Black Market is located at 922 Massachusetts Avenue. For more information, visit blackmarketindy.com or call 317.822.6757.
