COSMETIC SURGEONS
From the Editor-In-Chief
I had one of those déjà vu moments the other night. It happened while I was sipping a nice summer wine and watching a good friend prepare a salmon dish. Around me were my wife, four other couples and everyone’s kids – my weekend “posse.” Suddenly I realized that this scene was very similar to one I had experienced as a child during get-togethers hosted by my parents with their friends. Sure, there were a few diferences – more wine and fewer spirits, men cooking instead of women, and less toxic tobacco smoke in the air – but the essence of the experience was the same. It also reminded me of a friend’s favorite iconic photo showing his aunt and uncle with their best friends playing cards in the basement rec room, complete with lastcentury prints of dogs doing the same thing. As much as every young person resists the idea of taking on the habits of “old folks,” somehow along the way to becoming grown-ups, we fnally “get it.” Tere’s family and then there’s family. You can’t do much about your DNA, but we can choose those who surround us with joy, laughter, love, drama, triumphs and, sadly, some tragedies. Just as kids today run in packs (based on schools, religious groups, sports, arts, etc.), so do their parents. It’s within these groups of selected friends where you fnd validation for all the things that make up life in the 21st century: family, career, volunteerism, community support – and, best of all – trusted friendships. When our posse gets together, we’re not all marching in lockstep – not by a long shot. We come from various points on the age, gender, political, economic, religious, cultural and business spectrum. Tere’s even a high number of stay-at-home dads in the group which is an enriching change from my parent’s generation. But because I was there and watched it happen over and over, I know an important thing has endured from past generations. My parents and their friends were supportive of one another, just as everyone in my group (kids included) is there for each other today. Whenever I need help, assurance, comfort, advice, or to have my ego brought into check, I know there will be friends who are nearly like family who will do it for me. With love. And afection. And without the slightest expectation of a quid pro quo. All in all, that seems like a pretty good thing to pass along to the next generation.

Sardinia
Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier
The Island of Sardinia is the second largest Island in the Mediterranean after Sicily and before Cyprus. This Italian state is located west of Rome and south of Corsica and is around 9,300 square miles. Topographically it is more hilly than mountainous with some plains and rugged cliffs with idyllic coastlines. Combine that natural beauty with a warm Mediterranean climate and it is perfect for growing wine grapes and olives and attracting tourists. As with many strategic islands, Sardinia has changed hands over the centuries with the most prominent infuence being the Spanish Kingdom of Aragon, which ruled Sardinia for almost 400 years. Because of the Spanish infuence, you see several Spanish grape varieties used in Sardinian winemaking. Te most important red grape is Cannonau, the same grape as Grenacha, which originates in Spain and is called Grenache in France, where it produces some outstanding wine in the south of the Rhone Valley. Cannonau makes an absolutely delicious, ripe, full-bodied wine full of ripe cherries and raspberries, spice and a touch of earth. Another grape originating in Spain but now more planted in Sardinia is Monica. Monica produces wine in varying styles and is considered one of the oldest vines in Sardinia. Te primary white grape of Sardinia is Vermentino. Tis grape cannot trace its lineage to Spain but instead to Italy. It is most known for being a Sardinian grape but is planted in Liguria under the synonym of Pigato and in Piedmont as Favorita. Vermentino is a delightfully linear citrus-mineral driven white wine, typically un-oaked and a perfect accompaniment for seafood. The finest example of Vermentino is produced in northern Sardinia in an area called Gallura. Vermentino di Gallura has been classifed as one of Italy’s top wines by receiving the highest legal quality designation, DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita). Vermentino di Gallura is hard to fnd but is a more bodied, richer and sometimes oaked, aged version. The Sardinian’s enjoy drinking wine and eating the Mediterranean diet, which is perhaps why it possesses one of the world’s largest populations of centenarians in the world. Sardinian wines are surprisingly easy to find at quality wine shops. Here are two recommended family wineries and a few of their wines: ARGIOLAS Located just north of the capital city of Cagliari in southern Sardinia, Argiolas is arguably the most known and the quality leader of Sardinian wine. Owned by Franco and Giuseppe Argiolas, Argiolas uses predominantly indigenous Sardinian vines. Te estate
was founded in 1937 and has 575 acres under vine; they produce just fewer than 185,000 cases of wine a year, utilizing the practice of sustainable agriculture under winemaker Mariano Murru. ARGIOLAS WINES Vermentino di Sadegna Costamolino 2011 Pale straw yellow color with green highlights. Dry, medium-bodied and linear with the favors of citrus peel, green apple, quince and minerals. Very crisp, tangy, vivacious and persistent. Tis wine is a perfect accompaniment to grilled fsh with citrus sauces or delicious as an aperitif. Isola Dei Nuraghi Perdera 2009 Made from the Monica grape grown in the Perdera vineyard, this wine has an intense ruby red color. It is dry, low in tannin, full-bodied with the favors of blackberry, pepper, leather, baking spices and oak. Try it with grilled meats such as lamb or pork. PALA Founded in 1950 and originally a producer of bulk wines sold to other producers, owner Mario Pala has transformed his winery into a quality leader of indigenous quality wines. Located in the small town of Serdiana very close to the capital city of Cagliari, winemaker Ercole Iannone makes 30,000 cases from 68 hectares of vines. Pala has six diferent vineyard areas and farms them with great respect and devotion to the land. PALA WINES Vermentino di Sadegna Il Fiori 2011 Pale straw yellow color with green highlights. Dry, fresh, medium body with favors of Meyer lemon, green Bosc pear, light herbs and refreshing wet stone minerality. Intense, linear and long, this wine serves well as a frst wine or is delicious with shellfsh or seafood stew. Cannonau di Sardegna Il Fiori 2011 Cannonau is the Sardinian name for Grenache. Purple to ruby red color. Kirshwasser red fruit, black berry, spice and earth. Full-bodied with soft tannins and a rich aftertaste. Try it with roasted meats such as pork or grilled sausages.

Curating a Lifestyle: Reclaiming the Age of Excess

When movie mogul Baz Luhrmann endeavored to adapt one of America’s great novels to the big screen for a 21st Century audience, he may or may not have intended to reopen the socio-political discussions Fitzgerald sought to inspire; but, the parallels are hard to ignore. Set in the roaring 20s, amidst the glamour and luxurious social scene of Long Island (just before the Great Depression chilled even the most hardy West Egg stock), older audiences may bristle at the reminder of their highfying, cares-to-the wind days that came to a screeching halt with the Great Recession. Like Fitzgerald, Luhrmann’s undertones may not be fully appreciated until we get a bit more distance from those challenging days; but, his efect on pop culture (likely his true intention, anyway) is evident on the runways and on newsstands everywhere. From Tifany to Prada, luxury brands are capitalizing on the Gatsby efect, but collectors may fnd, to their surprise, a great buying opportunity in the decor that styled Gatsby’s infamous mansion. While Gatsby’s actual decor is open to the imagination, given his propensity for jet-setting opulence and his proximity to The Gold Coast he would have likely been among the stylemakers of the era. Decor and fashion during the roaring 20’s were a direct refection of the successes of the industrial era: recent technological and mechanical advances made anything seem possible, and stodgy classicism and staid Victorian

restraint gave way to the sexier, edgier, and more modern lines of Art Deco and Art Nouveau style. Te Arts and Crafts movement had ofered an appropriate bufer and transition, but for a brief, celebratory decade, we looked ahead with optimism and took risks never before considered. And, then - in an instant - it was over and we somberly returned to a refrained, pragmatic reality. Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles (see sidebar for a brief discussion of the differences) require a fairly sophisticated eye. While many may find individual examples aesthetically pleasing, few embrace them in the context of everyday living and as an overall decor. As a result, the market is what industry experts refer to as “thin” (meaning the number of buyers is few, relative to other segments of the market); and, prices today are relatively afordable for the quality and sophistication of most items from the period. So, embrace your inner Gatsby and reclaim the treasures of a romantic, optimistic period of American culture - with a singular, statement piece or by recreating the magic of Gatsby’s glamour for your jet setting lifestyle. sl
Amelia and Jef Jefers are the co-owners of Garth's Auctioneers & Appraisers, an international frm located outside Columbus, Ohio.
The Arts and Crafts movement began the 1860s with a few thought leaders, most notably William Morris, who rejected the rising industrial era factory-made furnishings of the day. While much of the world was amazed at the efciency and speed with which items could be made, Morris and his peers were frustrated and dismayed at a lack of concern for quality, natural design and aesthetic spirit. Teir resulting style movement harkened back to medieval concepts: construction techniques were not only a focus of the maker, but became a part of the design; ornamentation was used sparingly, but when used, called on nature for inspiration. Although the Arts and Crafts movement persisted until the 1930s in mainstream design and philosophy, during the frst quarter of the 20th Century, it inspired two additional styles: Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Art Nouveau magnifed the refection of nature in design; somewhat bridging the design gap between the foliate nature of the Victorian era and the simpler, more sophisticated lines of Arts and Crafts; and as the economy prospered, the simple lines of Arts and Crafts gave way to a more modern, geometrical interpretation - almost futuristic in the approach - Art Deco.

Dishing on Design Te plates of Piero Fornasetti Written by Bridget Williams
Italian painter, sculptor, interior designer and engraver Piero Fornasetti (1913-1988) created more than 11,000 items, with his most famous being those pieces bearing the face of a woman – operatic soprano Lina Cavalieri – that he spied in a 19th century French magazine. He created more than 350 adaptations of the Tema e Variazioni (Teme and Variation) plate series based on her face. Fornasetti’s plates remain one of his most iconic creations, and the centenary of his birth is providing the Fornasetti Atelier in Milan to shed new light on a multitude of Piero’s creations, which, being so many, are often just marginally known. In the first years of production, between 1950 and 1952, most of his plates were ceramic; later Fornasetti acquired porcelain from several companies, mostly in Germany, (Rosenthal, Arzberg, Hutschenreuther), but also Italians (Ginori e Laveno), and not always of the fnest quality. Fornasetti believed that the scrupulous search for the perfect material was not important; an object’s true quality would be in its decoration. Te plates were produced almost exclusively a coupe, meaning without a rim. Fornasetti decorated rimmed soup plates only on commission. Fornasetti was fond of tables set for a meal and loved to use them as installations during exhibitions or events and also as a pretext for involving other artists, poets, intellectuals and friends. One of the best remembered was called Giornali (newspapers) that was set up at the terrazza Martini in Piazza Diaz in Milan, a mythical panoramic site frequented by the city’s artists and intellectuals. Every object that set the table was decorated with a typographic character as though Fornasetti, once again, was trying to overturn the perception of objects and their meaning. As time went by Fornasetti conceived creations that were increasingly foreign to the vision and the apparatus of industry. “Industrialists are always the same,” Fornasetti said in a 1963 interview. “Tey're people who think on the basis of a popularity rating, following the television system, meaning the imbecility rating.” For example, in the Grande Antico series, he used a peculiar technique discovered almost by accident that consisted of spotting the raw ceramic material with an acid that made the surface opaque. Te ceramic piece was then painted with pure gold that, because of the spotting, was absorbed in a way that was not uniform. The result was a dappled surface area that changed according to the light. Fornasetti drew liberally from the great archetypical subjects of the past: astrology, music, botany, zoology, numismatics, folklore and topography, using them to make his objects tell stories or fables, and narrate forgotten or invented events. He dedicated sets to architects, writers, navigators and musicians. Among the most famous series are Cupole d’Italia (Domes of Italy) and Specialità regionali Italiane (Regional specialties of Italy), which went into production in the late 1960s. Pieces of the latter presented the country’s most representative delicacies accompanied by a recipe in a fne hand and an important monument from every city, representing a perfect fusion of art and popular culture. Te exhibition Il piatto forte will be on display through September 14 at the Fornasetti store in Milan (Corso G. Matteotti 1/A 20121; store.milano@fornasetti.com). sl 38 slmag.net

DIAVEL First Unveiled at the 2010 Milan International Motorcycle Show, the Ducati Diavel garnered notice in the cruiser segment with a model combining Superbike-level engine and chassis performance with custom shop styling and ergonomics. Confdence-inspiring ABS, Ducati Traction Control, and Ducati Riding Modes, combined with 162hp, delivers outstanding performance. 2013 saw the Diavel range expanded with the arrival of the Diavel Strada, a touringoriented version with higher handlebars, touring screen, touring seat, heated grips, and side luggage. MONSTER The world’s most iconic naked motorcycle, famous for its stylish tubular Trellis frame, excellent chassis components, and torque-laden, Desmondromic engines, the Ducati Monster family is celebrating 20 years of production in 2013 with anniversary editions of its latest 696, 796, and 1100 EVO models. They are dressed in celebratory color schemes and revised finishes which are throwbacks to the original 1993 model.
HYPERMOTARD The Hypermotard was first shown at the 2005 Milan show in prototype form and created a new industry segment when its production started in 2007 with the 1100 and 1100 S models. Te next generation of the range, which includes the Hypermotard, Hypermotard SP, and the Hyperstrada, debuted in 2013, completely redesigned and powered with a four-valve water-cooled 821cc Testastretta engine, ABS, Ducati Traction Control and three-level Ducati Riding Modes. The Hypermotard SP provides the same thrills as the standard Hypermotard, but with a more uncompromising sporty style due to a raised set-up, forged Marchesini rims, fully adjustable suspensions with an ultra-light Marzocchi aluminium yoke, and Ohlins rear shock absorber. For those that enjoy the motard style of the Hypermotard but are looking for a more flexible and adaptable package, then the Hyperstrada provides that in every way. ABS, DTC, windshield, side bags, dedicated ergonomics, and a series of touring features ofer a riding experience that still provides the thrills when going further afeld.

KEY WEST Serving as home at one time or another to the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Shel Silverstein, Truman Capote, Calvin Klein, Jimmy Bufett, Winslow Homer, Robert Frost and Sushi (aka Gary Marion), a female impersonator who rings in the New Year by being lowered from a rooftop in a giant high heeled shoe, quirky Key West ofers a wide, warm embrace to anyone seeking sanctuary on its sunny shores. Stay Ideally positioned at the beginning of historic Duval Street between the Key West Harbor and Mallory Square, the newly renovated Ocean Key Resort & Spa (Zero Duval Street; oceankey. com) ofers 100 oversized rooms ranging in size from 300–1,200 square feet. Ideal for families, the spectacular two-bedroom Oceanview Suite is decorated with West Indies-style furnishings and a vibrant color palate of lime, turquoise and indigo. A large living and dining room separates a pair of suites, each with a Jacuzzi tub. A furnished balcony overlooks Sunset Pier, where an array of neon colored umbrellas shade the bar tables that traverse the dock and live music is performed most evenings. Property amenities include an on-site ftness center; SpaTerre, offering a comprehensive menu of indulgent face and body treatments; and an oceanfront pool with private cabanas and food and beverage service from the Liquid Lounge. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, Ocean Key’s signature restaurant – Hot Tin Roof –presents menus with distinct Cuban / Spanish infuences and an emphasis on incorporating fresh, local ingredients (the paella was outstanding). See Each evening at sunset throngs converge at Mallory Square (mallorysquare.com) to ogle a host of street performers that run the gamut from the ridiculous to the sublime and (almost) upstage a glorious vantage point for watching the sun disappear on the
horizon. Scheduled events for the 33rd annual Hemingway Days (hemingwaydays.org) on July 16-21 include a look-alike contest, an awards ceremony for a literary competition directed by author and Hemingway granddaughter Lorian Hemingway, a commemoration of the 114th anniversary of Ernest's July 21 birth, a one-man play exploring the literary legend's life and motivations, a museum exhibit of rare Hemingway memorabilia, a zany "Running of the Bulls" and a three-day marlin tournament recalling Hemingway's devotion to the deep-sea sport. The biggest party of the summer is the Key West Lobster Fest (keywestlobsterfest.com) scheduled for August 8-11. The fourday fest features a Duval Crawl on Friday night, a free concert and street fair on Saturday and a decadent Sunday Brunch. Book a seaplane to visit the remote Dry Tortugas National Park (nps.gov/drto/index.htm) for an afternoon of snorkeling and sightseeing. Located 70 miles west of Key West, the 19th century fort is surrounded by crystal clear waters and seven small islands that comprise the 100-square mile park. Dine Located in the Bahama Village neighborhood, Santiago’s Bodega (207 Petronia St. #101; santiagosbodega.com) is an off-the-beaten path gem serving delectable and inventive hot and cold tapas-style dishes. A Key West institution, Blue Heaven serves breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week at a site that has, over the course of its 100-year history, hosted everything from cock fights to boxing matches refereed by Hemingway. While made-from-scratch pancakes at breakfast draw crowds, I was especially partial to the vegetarian black bean soup on the lunch and dinner menus. Located in a Victorian era mansion on Duval Street, Te Grand Café’s (314 Duval St.; grandcafekeywest.com) wraparound porch is ideal for al fresco dining and primo people watching.

NEW YORK CITY Te summer months might be low season for travel in the Big Apple, but not even the sweltering heat can stifle the city’s perpetual freneticism. Dine Maysville (17 W. 26th Street; maysvillenyc.com) is a bit of Bluegrass in the Big Apple. A native Alabamian, Chef Kyle Knall’s standouts include the beet and quinoa salad, crispy grits with country ham and bourbon aioli, and smoked whole trout. Wash it all down with a dizzying array of bourbons available straight up, on the rocks or as part of a classic cocktail. Tables are coveted at Lafayette (380 Lafayette Street), a grand space reminiscent of Café de la Paix in Paris. A retail bakery and pastry shop up front caters to those taking their sweets and carbs on the go, while those looking to linger longer can enjoy Chef Andrew Carmellini’s new French country cooking in the multi-level dining room. Tough billed as a lowly side, the truffled gnocchi with parmesan cream at The Arlington Club (1032 Lexington Ave; arlingtonclubny.com) is easily one of the most memorable dishes I have enjoyed in recent memory. Located in the Meatpacking District, we sought out Toy (18 Ninth Ave; toyrestaurant.com) primarily for the scene – Jefrey Beers-designed interiors and aerial cirque du solei-style performances during dinner – and were pleasantly surprised to discover that the top-notch cuisine was not just an afterthought. For breakfast or a midday treat, pop over to the Doughnuttery inside Chelsea Market (425 West 15th Street; chelseamarket. com) for a pint-sized fresh-out-of-the-fryer treat. Chelsea brasserie Montmartre (158 Eighth Ave; montmartenyc.com) is the sixth establishment for Gabriel Stulman’s Little Wisco restaurant group and crowds pack the petite space. See Just around the corner from the Chelsea Market is an access point for the High Line, a sprawling public park built on an elevated freight rail line that runs from Gansevoort Street to
West 34th between 10th and 11th Avenues (thehighline.org). The former home and studio of minimalist sculptor Donald Judd – the five-story cast-iron building at 101 Spring Street designed by Nicholas Whyte in 1870 – can be viewed as installed by Judd by appointment only following a three-year restoration (juddfoundation.org/visit). From June 21 to September 25, 2013, the Guggenheim Museum (1071 Fifth Avenue; Guggenheim. org) presents James Turrell. The exhibition features a major new site-specific work, Aten Reign (2013), which reimagines the rotunda of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic building as one of Turrell’s luminous and immersive Skyspaces. Shop A canopy made of 25,000 paper bags are a focal point at Owen boutique (owennyc.com), which opened in May at 809 Washington Street in the Meat Packing District. More than 70 emerging men’s’ and women’s’ designers (many of which cannot be found elsewhere) happily co-exist with a carefully selected mix of established brands. Lavin opened its frst men’s fagship earlier this year at 807 Madison Avenue. Comprised of threefoors, a plush VIP lounge is located on the top level. Stay Opened in October 2011, Hyatt 48 Lex is a boutique hotel property with 116 “pied-à-terre”-style guest studios and suites with foor-to-ceiling city views. A comfortable second foor Lexicon Lounge ofers club-level amenities for all guests from 6:30 a.m.-midnight as well as a 24-hour ftness studio and in-room spa treatments. Rates from $499 (48lex.hyatt.com). Te epitome of Bohemian chic, the Julian Schnabel-designed interiors of the Gramercy Park Hotel (2 Lexington Ave) are a favored haunt of the younger who’s-who in music, flm and fashion. Hotel guests are given access to the hotel’s Rose Bar until 9 p.m., after which time you have to be on “the list” (ask the concierge to pull some strings for you).

Mille Miglia Written by Bridget Williams
An open-road endurance race that took place in Italy 24 times between 1927 and 1957, the Mille Miglia traveled along a 1,600 km route from Brescia to Rome and back. In the 1950s, Enzo Ferrari called the event the “most beautiful race in the world.” Te race was revived in 1977 using the same start and fnish line on the famous road to Viale Venezi and limited to automobiles that were manufactured prior to 1957. A special “race recipe” was concocted in 1982, combining sport, culture, tourism, performances and international friendships. Now one of the most prestigious vintage motoring races in the world, this spectacularly unique event attracts millions of spectators and prompts some 200 villages along the route to stage community-wide celebrations. Te 2013 race, held from May 16-18, will be remembered for the heavy rains that dogged participants each day. This 50 slmag.net
year’s route was slightly altered from its historical course due to the 2012 earthquake that afected the provinces of Modena, Mantua, Ferrara, Reggio Emilia, Bologna and Rovigo, whose roads account for nearly half of the overall journey. Te course was further altered during the race to avoid traversing the Ponte degli Angeli in Vincenza, which was deemed a high-risk area following torrential rains. From a pool of 1,575-applicants, a record-setting 415 cars were granted access to the starting line. Of those, 340 successfully returned to Viale Venezia in Brescia, with the remaining 75 cars withdrawn from the race or dropped out. Tough drivers hailed from 31 countries, Italians accounted for 32.5% of the feld, followed by Germany, the UK, Switzerland, the United States and the Netherlands.

Among the marques participating, Mercedes-Benz felded 35 cars, including an SSK and 300 SLR from their museum in Stuttgart. From the BMW Classic Museum came eight cars, including a 328 Coupe Touring that won the 1940 Mille Miglia. Among the 24 Jaguars entered, six came from Jaguar Heritage Racing: three XK 120’s and three C-TYPE’s. Each Jaguar was co-piloted by a noted celebrity, including Oscar-winning actor Daniel Day-Lewis; German actress Hannah Herzsprung; Salvatore Ferragamo, Jr; and star models David Gandy and Yasmin Le Bon. Second to Mercedes in number entered was Alfa Romeo at 34 cars, followed by Fiat with 26, Lancia with 25, Ferrari and Jaguar each with 24, Porsche with 22, Aston Martin with 20, BMW and Bugatti with 17 cars each and Maserati with 16. A total of 76 car manufacturers were represented. The Ferrari Tribute to Mille Miglia, a re-enactment for Prancing Horse owners, allowed crews aboard post-1957 Ferraris to parade their cars down Brescia’s Viale Venezia to
open the 2013 edition. Ferrari Tribute cars were permitted to leave a few minutes ahead of their historic counterparts to treat the throngs of onlookers gathered at the roadside to an even more unforgettable spectacle. After crossing the finish line, the 35,417 points earned by Argentinians Juan Tonconogy and Guillermo Berisso over the three-day journey in their 1927 Bugatti T 40 were enough to take first place. Just 576 points behind, Giordano Mozzi and Mark Gessler fnished second in a 1933 Alfa Romeo Gran Sport. Giovanni Moceri and Tiberio Cavalleri in a 1933 Astin Martin Le Mans rounded out the top three. With the victory, Tonconogy became the youngest winner of the event and the third Argentinian. Te fve-time participant remarked “The Mille Miglia is a unique race of its kind, which requires great physical stamina and constant concentration, but it gives us emotions that are so difcult to verbalize and virtually impossible to forget.” sl slmag.net

Geometric patterns and bold fabrics leap out in a swirl of color from the very second you set foot through the front door of this impressively updated Westfeld home. Cobalt blue, a striking hue evocative of the works of Titian, casually sets the modern-meetsclassical tone in the form of an oversized, exaggeratedly-proportioned and patterned sofa in the great room. The classical aspect is established with a strong element of joie de vivre in the postmodern Renaissance freplace, carved from Carrera marble, with its curved pediment and playfully repeating column caps. Restrained and elegant, with feet planted frmly in both past and present, this month’s featured house presents a kaleidoscope of soothing textures and gleaming accents, while maintaining an unpretentious, thoroughly livable environment. As we tour this elegant residence, cool white and blues make frequent reappearances, reminding us of that frst strident impression. With an uninspired, pedestrian color scheme dominating much of the original house, it was initially hard for the new owners to glimpse the home’s extraordinary potential. Finding the perfect home move-in ready is usually the stuf of fantasy, but in this case the project required more than just a lick of paint, presenting unique challenges. Engaging the right designer to impose a strong creative direction in line with their needs was crucial, as was the need to see past the obvious. 72 slmag.net
The right designer turned out to be Courtney Casteel from Courtney Casteel Home. Te lady of the house is clearly enthusiastic about her choice. “The thing about Courtney is that she has an eye I think no one else in Indianapolis has,” she asserts. “I always knew I loved her look.” Casteel’s remit included replacing the brown oak foors and massive potted plants and transforming the dark and heavy space into the light and airy residence we see today. She explains the home’s strikingly cool blue and white color scheme was a frst for her, but nonetheless well within her comfort zone of classic and elegant. “Tis house is defnitely my vibe; we just gelled,” she says. “Tey let me do my job, which a lot of people don’t let designers do. Tere are classic lines and fnishes, but with an edge to it. A little trendy, but not heavy. It has always been my look.” Continuing through the great room, tall ceilings and large white-trimmed picture windows frame the open, vibrant space. The bookcases and media wall are backed in a putty gray, providing a neutral contrast to the wall color. Grass cloth wallpaper behind shelving adds texture and detail. In the center, an oversized solid polished nickel drum pendant from Global Views is a showstopper. Contrasting patterns are artfully layered to lead the restless eye from one detail to the next. Tere’s never a dull moment for the visually-inclined.
Relaxing tones of putty gray, white and indigo are accented by polished nickel in lighting, hardware and furniture detailing. Exaggerated largescale pieces make bold statements and add a perfect blend of both masculinity and femininity.

Te inspiration for this space was a blend of New York uptown and Colorado rustic. A stone freplace and cedar beam mantel are topped with polished nickel lantern-style sconces out of a New York lounge. Leather chairs and a houndstooth sofa have an eclectic feel. Black leather and polished nickel bar stools with strap detailing gives masculinity and structure with an industrial feel. Te chevron-cut stone backsplash fnishes the space with a modern twist.

Te couple love to entertain, but didn’t have enough space in their previous home. Now, with its well-appointed kitchen and ample seating areas inside and out, this is no longer an issue. For more intimate dinners, the elegantly-proportioned and airy dining room comfortably seats eight at a custom-made cement dining table built by Bradley Hughes. “The first dining table was wood and awful,” the homeowner laughs. “This one was something like three times the cost, but well worth it. It weighs about 800 pounds, and it took eight men to carry it in. Te whole top piece is solid, and isn’t going anywhere!” By contrast, the dining chairs are covered in a luxurious European foral fabric, reflecting a more feminine, romantic sensibility. This contrast in styles is reflected throughout the house, where large-scale components provide the wow factor, with smaller, more restrained elements providing balance. In the back hallway, for example, an original deep slate blue cabinet was saved and refnished. Large polished nickel door knockers and moldings were ftted to provide a vivid counterpoint, creating a visually arresting focal point to
the otherwise white hallway. “I like big scale,” says Casteel. “I think bigger pieces make bolder statements.” Custom furniture abounds throughout the house, and with it, limitless scope for color and textural variations, not to mention child-resistant materials. Even though custom furniture may seem like an expensive indulgence to some, Casteel insists that “in reality it’s not much more. You just have to be patient with the timeline and design process. I tend to push more custom because you can really tailor it to the client.” No strangers to the building process, the husband and wife knew the project had the potential to be stressful, and to perhaps put pressure on their relationship with their designer. But everything worked out well for all concerned, as the wife explains. “I still love Courtney,” she says. “I know that for some people, after a big remodeling, they are done. But she is still doing work for us, and flling in gaps. Our style has been a big evolution. It used to be very contemporary. I have always wanted to do a cool clean feeling house. But it is a whole process, I understand that.” sl slmag.net

DELICIA
A Latin Celebration For All Your Senses Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung
84 slmag.net
When it comes to contemporary American fine dining, with or without a twist, Indianapolis excels, largely thanks to a coterie of gifted and dedicated chefs, a forward-looking group of artisan farmers and a growing community of informed and suitably well-heeled consumers. What was until relatively recently a barren culinary landscape is now an oasis, populated by a plethora of cutting edge, highly regarded restaurants which can more than hold their own against far trendier establishments a couple of hundred miles north. Where Indy dining continues to fall short, however, is on the international front. Today, there are no French restaurants in this city of close to a million, a concept I fnd almost unfathomable. Spain, regarded by most as ofering the epitome of avant-garde gastronomy, is represented by a solitary tapas bodega. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perplexing and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrating, but now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new player in town which promises to elevate the bar for Latin American cooking at least, and to introduce an entire population of eager gastronomes to a quality and level of international cuisine all too rarely experienced in these parts. slmag.net
85
Before Delicia opened its doors back in March of this year, the very best Mexican and Central American food in Indianapolis was to be found on North Michigan Road or far out on the west side of town, in cantinas and strip-mall joints, far enough of the beaten path that the majority of fne diners would never know of their existence unless they had misheard their Garmin and taken a wrong turn. Most of what else is on ofer is, to put it politely, commercial, chain-driven and mediocre: a marketing man’s idea of what Latin cuisine should be all about. Ricardo Martinez, Head Chef and Chef de Cuisine at Delicia, ofers a thoughtful perspective: “Most people see Mexican food as a business frst, with the food second. It is not a passion for them. Tex-Mex, fajitas, whatever you want, some is authentic but most of it isn’t. For us (at Delicia), it’s about the food frst.” With its succinct, focused menu heavy on labor-intensive, timeconsuming dishes of true depth, character and complexity, Delicia offers diners the chance to experience a level of Latin cooking rarely tasted outside of the bigger cities or Latin America itself. Te food may arrive at the table promptly, but it’s by no means fast when it comes to the preparation. Stocks, broths and stews take hours or days to produce, the layers of favor the result of endless fne-tuning and painstaking care. It’s the very essence of slow food: a style of leisurely eating which takes us back to less hurried times, when long lunches and afternoon drinks were the order of the day.

Three years in the making, largely because of objections from another local business, Delicia opened to great expectations and even greater acclaim. For operating partner Nicole Harlan-Oprisu, building the restaurant and creating its menu was a labor of love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ate and drank for the team putting this all together. Tis is my favorite style of dining; although we own numerous restaurants, we wanted a place where you could get an awesome margarita and some really exciting food, where people could eat two or three times a week and have it priced accordingly,â&#x20AC;? she said. A lofty challenge, perhaps, especially in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic climate where quality almost always carries a healthy price tag, but one to which Oprisu and her Executive Chef Miguel Cordero have risen triumphantly. Delicia ofers the kind of food and drink which, once tasted, will have the adventurous omnivore beating down the doors for seconds and thirds. Every dish sings of passion, honesty and authenticity; favors and textures harmonize in a festive symphony of rich and spicy, light and zesty, crunchy and creamy with balance and focus providing the keys to an explosive taste experience.

Occupying a cavernous space once home to a movie-rental store, Delicia conveys a surprising sense of intimacy, thanks to inspired design spearheaded by partner Nancy Ficca, whose unique visual sensibilities are also on display at Te Northside Social. Seated either at booths, tables or at the imposing, centerpiece bar, guests can enjoy one of several masterful cocktails, such as the signature Margarita, fragrant with orange blossom nectar, or perhaps the immensely popular Hemingway Daiquiri, with its assertive blend of rum and maraschino liqueur. Tose not inclined toward spirits might enjoy something from the short but well-considered wine list, with its focus on less obvious selections, including a handful of bottlings from Mexico. From the menu, it’s hard to pick a favorite, which is why repeat visits are a must if you are to truly appreciate its richness and diversity. And while some dishes may deliver a bit of heat, this isn’t ‘Man v. Food’ territory: here the spicing, as in great Indian cuisine, delivers depth and complexity, not necessarily sweat and tears. If forced to choose a handful of dishes, I would recommend the truly otherworldly Sopes de Pato, little pufy masa four cups piled high with subtly spicy duck conft, tempered with a dollop of cooling cilantro-lime crema. Te Shrimp Mofongo is a must for lovers of all things Caribbean, as is the Peruvian Ceviche Mixto, a wonderfully fresh and vibrant version of a classic, so lively and light that you can almost hear waves crashing.
92 slmag.net
As for the main courses, try the Chile En Nogada, a poblano pepper stuffed chile made from ground pork with the addition of apricots and walnuts; it will forever change your mind about what chile is all about. With the mildly sweet counterpoint provided by the fruit, the earthy creaminess provided by goat’s cheese and crunch from the nuts, not to mention a depth of spice that goes all the way to the foor, this is a truly memorable dish, one which will probably become a staple on my gastronomic rounds. And who could ignore the Snapper Veracruz, one of Mexico’s most celebrated regional dishes: made with real red snapper, not with tilapia as is so often the case, this is an assertive, robust dish for the hearty diner. Space prevents my listing every single plate, but you probably get the idea by now. Succinct and to the point, Delicia’s menu ofers a panoply of favors and textures, with something for almost everyone. Next time you’re thinking Mexican or Latin American, think Delicia. Wherever you live, it’s worth the drive. sl Delicia is located at 5215 N. College Avenue. For more information call 317-925-0677.
