It’s

Experience, Service, Communication & Evidence-Based care,

...that transforms ordinary, into extraordinary A Tradition of Orthodontic Excellence for 40 Years Jackie Berkowitz, D.D.S., M.S. Diplomate, American Board of Orthodontics

We welcome new patients and second opinions

1977 - 2017

...and for many more years

Colonial Office Village 955 North Hamilton Road Gahanna, OH 43230 614-475-9800

Why a Second Opinion... ...Choosing an orthodontist is an important decision. It results in a well-informed parent or adult patient capable of making a better educated choice. Many patients seeking significant medical or dental care are advised and aware of the importance of obtaining a second opinion. The basis for a second opinion is primarily to advise in the proposed treatment plan and establish the confidence, qualifications, and experience of the orthodontist. Our goal is to help provide accurate and reliable communication about the value of seeing a “Board Certified” Orthodontist, understanding alternative orthodontic treatment options, a review of appropriate timing of treatment and an evidence based explanation of benefits/risks of various braces and appliances to satisfy all of your child and family’s orthodontic needs. Second opinions can be signifcantly benefcial.

Is It Time For A Second Opinion? Why Munster Financial? For the vast experience, exceptional service, planning-based approach, and unwavering passion, all with the focus on you. Gregory A.

From the Editor-in-Chief

As this issue goes to press, I am returning from a three day adventure on Lake Erie, where I completed my first “big boat” sailing class. When scheduling the trip, I had audacious hopes of taming my monkey brain while stretching myself physically and mentally, and maybe finding a brand new passion. How’s that for expectation? I even joked with friends that they could start referring to me as Captain Amelia. Twelve hours on the water with Captain Jere and one near-perfect score on my exam lived up to all the hype I gave it and more. The sense of accomplishment when it was over was only bested by the moments in which I forgot every single thing in life except what was actually in front of me. Yoga enthusiasts would say I was “present.” I would tell you I was exhilarated. Weeks before, I had hosted a group of loosely connected women at my home for an introduction to one another as we embarked individually and collectively on reading Sheryl Sandberg’s new book, Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy. Among the participants were widows, mothers of cancer survivors, cancer survivors, divorcees, and those who recognize that an “Option B” is lurking around the corner for each of us. Experiencing these two moments - the book club and sailing class, has marked a turning point in my year and helped me to identify an opportunity for our team at Sophisticated Living Columbus. Stay tuned or reach out to learn more as we unveil a brand new way to connect with your community on all things related to wholehearted, and yes, sophisticated living. As the dog days of summer heat up, here’s to slowing down and taking each moment as it comes. Best wishes to you and yours,

DO YOU KNOW

KELLEY GRIESMER Written by Charlotte Joseph How does a woman go from partner in a major law firm to a champion of philanthropy? If the woman is Kelley Griesmer, she follows her soul. Her kindergarten teacher mom and businessman dad taught Kelley to take opportunities as they come. “Especially as women” she said, “we try to plan out what will happen, but it is really not likely that our path will be straight.” A strong student from a pragmatic background, Kelley worked hard, and parlayed a Phi Beta Kappa undergraduate honors degree from Indiana University into a juris doctorate with honors from The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. With her stellar education and a clerkship on her resume, Kelley joined Jones Day and began what was to be a successful and challenging law career. Rising to partner, she applied her fierce intellect and work ethic to representing clients in complex business litigation. While she was committed completely to the law, the firm, the lawyers she surrounded herself with; she always had a sense that there was something more for her. As a member of several nonprofit boards, Kelley became aware of the impact the nonprofit sector has on people’s lives. So when long-time friend, Tom Lennox, left the world of private industry to create Pelotonia (the annual cycling event and nonprofit completely dedicated to raising funds for cancer research), he turned to Kelley for help. Interviewed in 2011 by Monica Demeglio for The OSU Law School Magazine, Kelley explained it this way: “It comes down to being brave,” she said of making the leap from a traditional practice to the nonprofit sector. “By most people’s measurements, I was going to be successful, but I knew I wasn’t ultimately going to be happy. I believe that you have to know yourself well enough to be honest with yourself, and I’ve never regretted it.” Pelotonia proved to be the work that appealed to her soul. Tough though it was to start a nonprofit organization from the ground up, it brought everything into focus for her. Using her law degree, her tenacious journalist’s heart, her solid family background, she came to the nonprofit world with a big business perspective. Pelotonia grew quickly into a big business that makes a big difference. Focusing on social good and community connections 22 slmag.net

became the passion that drives Kelley’s continued career in the nonprofit community. She looks for the soul-crunching good in people that brings them to gifts of kindness that will make a difference in others’ lives, “sometimes someone just needs a hand.” In early 2016, Kelley joined the Columbus Foundation as their Director of Special Projects. In her world there is no room for cynicism. The Foundation immediately tasked her with responsibility to build support for key partnerships, including the Gifts of Kindness Fund and The Big Table. “I want to meet more people I don't know,: she said. “I want them to sit down, put down their phones and really dig in to make a connection. You might not change the world but you are going to change someone’s world.” Recently promoted to Senior Vice president of The Columbus Foundation, this lawyer-turned-philanthropist is using the power of where the foundation sets to reach and connect with a wider community and help people understand the power of effective philanthropy. Ideas streak through her mind and her conversation. “We need to break down barriers, broaden perspective.” She said. “Some people think this work is too intangible but it’s not. Every day we have the power to affect change. “It’s the muscle memory around being open to answering a call or lending a hand or human connection which makes you more likely to take action,” according to Kelley Griesmer. “Little things matter.” . sl

TASTE THE FUTURE Written by Sean Becker If you are looking for dinner plans on the evening of Tuesday, August 15, look no further. Pick up a pair (or more) of tickets and bring a hearty appetite for fine food, drinks and entertainment to Taste the Future. Arguably the city’s finest fine dining event, Taste the Future is the premier fundraising event for the Columbus State Foundation. For nearly three decades, Taste the Future has pleased patrons with a show-stopping culinary showcase. Over 50 restaurants, catering companies, hotels and country clubs set up shop on the CSCC campus, and the kitchen kids come to play. As home to the state’s top culinary arts program, Columbus State has plenty of local talent on display. “A lot of the participants are graduates of the program, so ‘Taste the Future’ a reunion of sorts,” says Pam Bishop, Executive Director of the Columbus State Foundation. “They bring their ‘A’ game.”

In addition to the terrific taste sensations, visual food artists will have their work on display as well. Prepare to be amazed by impressive ice sculptures, dazzling desserts and scintillating centerof-the-plate specialties. “It’s a food experience,” Bishop says. And you won’t go home hungry. “Since all of the food is donated, guests are free to sample all of the food stations,” she explains. While Taste the Future showcases one of Columbus State’s stellar academic programs, the event benefits the greater mission of the community college. Proceeds from ticket sales and sponsorships support the work of the Columbus State Foundation, which funds scholarships, invests in academic programs, and enhances the overall student experience. “The Foundation exists to advance the strategic priorities of the college,” Bishop elaborates. Those priorities are student success, workforce development, and community engagement. At the implementation level, the mission is simple. Bishop says, “We really focus on making college more affordable, improving facilities, and preparing people to enter the workforce.” One of the best features of Taste the Future is the student participation. For event guests, sharing the evening with students can be enlightening. “A lot of students are there,” Bishop says. “Student ambassadors encourage people to ask questions about what they’re studying.” Columbus State is a perfect example of what a community college can be. Taste the Future is a great way to support this educational gem in our backyard and enjoy an evening of fantastic food, spectacular sights and live music.

The hillside view of the Washington School House hotel

OLD-SCHOOL COOL Historical charm and high alpine design converge in the heart of Park City at a 200-year-old schoolhouse turned polished boutique hotel. By Elise Hofer Shaw / Washington School House photography Michael Spengler Park City, Utah, is in the middle of a whiteout, being born again beneath a blanket of 12 inches of fluffy, fresh powder. It’s been a record-breaking season for snow, one that has already seen more than 365 inches accumulate by the end of February. But this morning clouds are scarce, the sun is out, and it’s a comfortable 30 degrees for spring skiing—and the natives are restless, eager to hit the mountain and make the first tracks in the snow. Our basecamp is the Washington School House, Park City’s only mountainside luxury hotel adjacent to the largest single ski and snowboard playground in the United States: Park City Mountain Resort. Offering more than 7,300 acres of skiable terrain, the mountain is truly epic—and mere steps from the

hotel’s back door. Proximity is definitely a perk, but that’s not why guests of the Washington School House return season after season. They come for the understated charm and designer details. They come for the quaint confines that only a 12-suite property can offer. They come for first-rate services like fireside gear fittings and private chef-prepared dinners that have earned the hotel spots on Travel + Leisure’s “It List” and Forbes’ “Top 10 Luxury Hotels.” And, yes, the fact that the Washington School House also happens to be the boutique hotel that Netflix buys out annually for the Sundance Film Festival, not to mention a respite of choice for snow-loving celebs like Robert Redford, Elijah Wood and Chelsea Handler, admittedly adds to its cachet, too.

The heated Orange Bubble lift at Park City Mountain Resort

But above all, guests of the Washington School House come to be a part of history. Built in 1889, the property was a schoolhouse for miners’ children until 1931, when it shuttered after the Great Depression laid waste to Summit County’s labor jobs prospecting silver and lead ore. After a stint as a VFW hall, followed by decades of abandonment, the building was turned into a bed and breakfast during the late 1980s that served its patrons well for 26 years (wood panelling, floral drapes et al). But the Washington School House’s most stylish incarnation was completed in 2011 by its current owners who enlisted Paul Allen Design for the four-story overhaul. The schoolhouse’s solid bones were left intact, including its limestone facade and original bell tower, but the rest was a total gut job to make way for 16-foot-high ceilings, reclaimed barnwood floors, Carrara marble-topped built-ins, a subterranean ski lounge, a heated pool, and rooms and suites that boast a balanced mix of Gustavian antiques, fine art and modern alpine touches like antler chandeliers dipped in glossy white lacquer. For the San Diego-based design firm’s first foray into hotel design, they knocked it out of the park (pun intended), partly because they approached it like a residential project. The result? A cool and clean redesign that respects the building’s historical integrity, garnering the hotel nods from Architectural Digest and Elle Decor. My king room faces west overlooking the 20-foot plunge pool that’s terraced into the hillside, dappled with blue spruce and aspen trees and bearing as its crown jewel a torch from the 2002 Winter Olympics that has been fashioned into a fire pit. The window well, where I choose to enjoy my morning French press 34 slmag.net

coffee (brought in from beloved local beanery Pink Elephant), is appointed with two Victorian-style armchairs and farmhouse sconces. The stately wrought iron bed’s mattress boasts both a pillow top and a feather bed, all ensconced in Pratesi linens for maximum comfort. As for the en suite bath, it’s a study in white porcelain and marble, the only pop of color being a mix of Molton Brown bath goods that fill the air with bergamot and orange while I wrestle into my ski gear. True, it’s about a three-minute downhill walk to the Town Lift that whisks skiers and snowboarders to the base of Park City Mountain. But chauffeur privileges are part of the package at the Washington School House, an extension of the hotel’s Ski Valet services. You can literally pick your starting point from two base villages and they’ll shuttle you there in moments in a white SUV with lift ticket in tow so you can skip the lines, click in and go. Since Vail Resorts bought and combined Park City Mountain and Canyons Resort into a mega-resort in 2015, the mountain has been running like a well-oiled machine courtesy of a $50 million renovation and operating budget that has been put toward the addition of the Quicksilver Gondola (linking Park City Mountain to Canyons), the widening of multiple trails, the revamping of Miners Camp (a massive new mid-mountain bar and restaurant for brews and bites between runs) and more. Talk to anyone who skis Park City regularly and they’ll tell you that the flow and connectivity from ridge to ridge has been significantly improved. After an afternoon of off-trail powder skiing spanning 5,000-plus acres, I can vouch that the diversity of terrain is divine.

REDUCE, REUSE, UPCYCLE While at Old Town Cellars in Old Town Park City, we stumbled upon a Cotopaxi pop-up shop. The outdoor brand’s mantra, “Gear for Good,” isn’t just lip service: two percent of all of Cotopaxi’s revenue provides grants to nonprofits that have demonstrated outstanding impact, agility and persistence toward alleviating poverty around the world. Our current covetable carryall is the Uyuni 46L Duffel ($80), a colorful, go-anywhere cross-body made from material scraps from bigname outfitters like Patagonia and The North Face. A good cause and great mountain style? Done and done. cotopaxi.com 36 slmag.net

The Old Town Cellars philosophy merges the art and culture of professional wine making with the mountain town lifestyle of Park City.

Après-ski is a communal part of the Park City lifestyle, and options abound along Main Street. But for savory spreads culled from Utahan charcuteries and cheesemongers, house-made sweets and wines that have been blended and bottled in town, a cozy corner by the fire in the grand living room back at the Washington School House can’t be beat. You see, another ace the hotel has up its sleeve is the culinary trifecta of chefs Ernesto Rocha (executive breakfast chef ), Callie Varner (pastry chef and après-ski fare artist) and Kyle Hirsch (on-call private dinner chef ). Rocha’s hearty mountain breakfast menu is served each morning, with Varner’s daily après-ski eats set out every afternoon starting at 4PM. And with 24 hours notice, Hirsch can curate a private dinner for groups large or small that’ll knock your ski socks off. Ours boasted a bellywarming carrot ginger bisque made with coconut milk and cilantro, a baby arugula salad with cucumber ribbon, candied walnuts, sweet pickled parsnip, Gold Creek feta and a honey pear vinaigrette, and a perfectly seared bone-in filet mignon with a mustard bourbon demi-glace served with Yukon potato au gratin and heirloom carrots. (Hirsch’s menus change frequently depending on what’s in season and can be customized around any dietary restrictions.) Exploring Park City’s growing culinary scene is part of the fun, and the 24-hour concierge at Washington School House is happy to dole out dining recommendations. For lunch on the mountain, we liked The Farm, a slope-side restaurant at Canyons Village where one can fuel up on bison chili and organic winter lettuces and herbs in a heated yurt overlooking the Red Pine Gondola. If snowshoeing Wasatch Mountain State Park followed by an afternoon of shopping Main Street is more your speed, break up the day by

popping into Riverhorse Provisions’ noshery for a bowl of healthy grains and kale or house-made soups. Park City’s restaurant with the biggest buzz right now is Handle, helmed by award-winning chef Briar Handley. Its menu of creative yet comforting American cuisine (think buttermilk fried chicken and roasted sunchoke risotto) and shareable small plates (try the smoked Idaho trout and buffalo cauliflower) is driven by the seasons, and Handley prides himself on sourcing local and regional ingredients at the height of freshness. The bar’s rustic-chic vibe and ruggedly inventive cocktails like the Rattlesnake—a stiff pour of High West double rye with absinthe and egg-white foam that’s branded with an “H” drawn in Angostura bitters—are added incentives for a visit. Speaking of libations, Park City’s cocktail culture has significantly matured over the last few years. New on the scene is Old Town Cellars, a private label winery that sources fine wines from top wine growing regions around the world and then blends and bottles on site. (Washington School House is a fan and always has its seasonal varietals in rotation at the hotel.) And High West Saloon, located next to the Town Lift base—the only ski-in gastro-distillery in the world—is a local gem just a stone’s throw from the hotel. Doctor’s orders: Request one (or two) of the house’s signature Dead Man’s Boots cocktail—Rendezvous rye, reposado tequila, fresh-squeezed lime juice, simple syrup and Fever Tree ginger beer over chipped ice—and you’ll forget about the residual pain in your shins from hours of powering through fresh powder. Sleep, ski and repeat. sl Washington School House Hotel, 543 Park Ave., Park City, Utah; 435.649.3800. washingtonschoolhouse.com. For mountain information, visit parkcitymountain.com.

Wine Worth the Wait

Instantly smitten with a picturesque Napa Valley property she spied in 1900, Fernande de Latour convinced her husband Georges to purchase a four-acre ranch she’d dubbed “beau lieu”, or “beautiful place.” In short order, Georges sold his successful cream of tartar business, acquired the land, and founded Beaulieu Vineyard with the intent of making fine wines to rival those of his native France. Today, the property encompasses more than 1,100 acres of estate vineyards. To realize his goal, Georges started out by importing phylloxera-resistant rootstock from Europe to revive a fledging California wine industry that had been ravaged by the disease. During prohibition, when many wineries were shuttered, Beaulieu actually increased its business fourfold by selling sacramental wine to the Catholic Church. After the repeal, Georges refocused his efforts on crafting world-class wines, traveling to France in 1938 to meet and subsequently hire the famed Russian-born viticulturist and enologist André Tchelistcheff, who instituted a culture of continuous innovation that continues today. A memorable growing season in 1936 produced the inaugural vintage of the Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, which was released in 1940 and went on to become Napa Valley’s first “cult” Cabernet. In 1989, current winemaker Jeffrey Stambor was hired to succeed Tchelistcheff, who’d come to be known as “The

Maestro” in Napa during his forty-year career at Beaulieu. Legendary winemaker Michel Rolland joined Beaulieu as a blending consultant on their reserve wines in 2010. Beaulieu recently made waves in the wine world when it announced the release of Rarity 2013, the fifth-ever vintage bottling of its Rarities Collection. Produced only in remarkable vintage years, Rarity was first crafted by Tchelistcheff in 1968 to showcase the distinctive, opulent expression of an extraordinarily high-quality vintage; prior to 2013, the most recent vintage to produce a Rarity bottling was 1990. The decision to declare 2013 a vintage worthy of the Rarities Collection was made by Stambor, who selected the finest barrellots of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot to lend Rarity 2013 a powerful, complex character. For the blend, Stambor selected grapes from some of Beaulieu’s oldest vineyards, sourcing from heritage sites on BV Ranches No. 1 and 2 as well as their Hewitt Estate Vineyard and a neighboring small vineyard at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains. The vines, with the majority planted in the 1980s, were grafted to clones that yield small, intensely flavored grapes. All four vineyards are deeply rooted in welldraining, alluvial fan soils on the western bench-lands of Napa Valley’s Rutherford AVA, often recognized as the most coveted California terroir.

“This limited release wine celebrates the rarity granted to us by Mother Nature,” noted Stambor. “2013 was a spectacular vintage, with the earliest onset to harvest that I recall in my 28 years of winemaking at Beaulieu, and gave us some truly special Cabernet Sauvignon. By bottling Rarity only in magnums, we better ensure that this magnificent wine can reach its full potential with bottle aging and can be enjoyed for decades to come.” While Napa Valley winemakers heralded the 2012 vintage as outstanding, the 2013 vintage was truly magnificent, with an unusually warm and dry winter promoting early budbreak, which gave the vines an early start to the 2013 growing season. Ideal conditions prevailed through flowering, fruit set and ripening, with low rainfall keeping the grapes desirably small. While harvest was early, the bloom-to-harvest span was not compressed; thus, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grapes benefited from adequate hang-time to develop exceptionally ripe, balanced flavors. The process of making Rarity 2013 began with handsorting the grape clusters and then the destemmed grapes to retain only the highest quality fruit. For early integration of oak character and to enhance the supple mouthfeel, over half of the Rarity components were barrel-fermented, with the balance in stainless steel and wood tanks. During fermentation in barrel, Beaulieu Vineyard’s cellar team rotated the barrels

four times daily to fully extract phenolic concentration and build complexity. After a month of maceration followed by gentle pressing, the wine was returned to barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging. To balance the tremendous intensity of dark fruit character, Stambor chose to age this wine in 100% new French and Russian oak barrels. To add even more structure and layers of flavor complexity to the Cabernet Sauvignon, the blend was complemented with 10% Petit Verdot from BV Ranch No.1. Rated at 99 points by Robert Parker in The Wine Advocate, 2013 Rarity delivers massive power and weight, yet with uncommon elegance and suppleness. The wine’s profuse aromas of blackberry, cassis, dark chocolate and violet are mirrored in the opulent flavors that explode on the palate. Seamlessly integrated vanilla and oak spice nuances, from barrel fermentation and aging in entirely new barrels, add even more complexity. “Rutherford Dust” tannins contribute texture, while bright acidity keeps its fresh, purity of focus. This is a wine that will age for decades. Only 1,500 bottles of Rarity 2013 have been produced. The limited-edition magnum bottles, each numbered and presented in a commemorative box, are available for $1,000 at select fine wine purveyors and by personal inquiry through the winery at rarity@bvwines.com. sl

A THREE-PEAT AT THE THREE-DAY EVENT Written by Bridget Williams / Photos by Tony Bailey

Michael Jung, 34, made history in late April when he became the first rider in the 39-year history of the Kentucky ThreeDay Event, presented by Land Rover, to win three years in a row. The ultimate test of horse and rider, the Three-Day event is comprised of dressage, cross-country and jumping tests. Aboard FischerRocana FST for a third year, the German duo lowered one rail in show jumping to finish on 42.7 penalties, just ahead of France’s Maxime Livio and Qalao Des Mers in second (44.6) and England’s Zara Tindall and High Kingdom in third (46.6). “Without the horse, you are just walking people, I’m not sure how you say that in English,” said Jung with a laugh following the win. “This is a very wonderful horse, she is absolutely a top horse, 50 slmag.net

and she is always fighting for me. We have a partnership, I know everything that she needs for me to motivate her. But she was perfect. I am so thankful for my whole team and my horse.” Livio is the only competitor in recent memory to have bested Jung, and the 29-year-old Frenchman's powerful doubleclean round put the pressure on the eventual champion as he cantered out of the ring in front of 24,159 fans in Rolex Stadium on the final day of competition. “There is always a little pressure in the ring, especially at a four-star with all the top riders,” Livio said. “With my horse, I just have to stick to him and stick to my ride, and if I do that the pressure goes down. I know if I’m very focused on my riding, the horse will do his

best. But, of course there is pressure because I want to be good enough for my horse, and after that it’s good for me to start to put pressure on (Jung). I think to try to beat such a rider you have to be 100 percent all the time. All this week my horse was 100 percent, but I was maybe only 90 percent in dressage. But after that I have no regrets.” Third-place finisher Tindall, 35, of Gloucestershire, England, came into the 2017 event with expectations in check following a trying trip two years ago when an injury in the stable prevented her from even starting the competition. “I’m obviously very lucky to come back and very thankful to my owner and to Land Rover and Rolex to be able to come back,” she said. “It’s great to be

sitting up here with these guys. My horse was fantastic all the way through the competition –he jumped great today. The Kentucky Three-Day Event is the nation’s premier Three-Day Event and one of the most prestigious equestrian competitions in the world. The International Equestrian Federation (FEI), the world’s governing body of equestrian sports, has designated the Kentucky Three-Day Event as a ‘Four Star’ eventing competition, the highest designation, which is given only to the Olympic Games, World Championships, and six annual events around the world. “Rolex Kentucky” is the only Four-Star event in the Western Hemisphere and is part of the Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing. sl slmag.net

SIBLING SIMPATICO

Smarts and style define the Mercedes-Benz 2018 S-Class Sedan model range Written by Andre James

Most notable among the innovations found in the mid-cycle update throughout the Mercedes-Benz S-Class range, which made its world premiere at the Shangai Auto Show this past April, is the extended suite of Intelligent Drive features that continue forward momentum on the march towards autonomous driving. Tweaks to the front fascia, rear bumper exhaust pipes and wheel designs, as well as an LED Intelligent Light System are a few of the segment-wide upgrades common among each rendition of the Mercedes-Benz flagship model, which was the top-selling luxury sedan in the world in 2016. New badges serve to indicate changes that have taken place under the hood. The S550 has been replaced by the S560, and is powered by a twinturbocharged 4.0-liter V8 producing 463 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The base model S-Class comes equipped with a 3.0-liter V-6 engine. At the top of the range, the Maybach retains its V12, while the Mercedes-AMG S63 has a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 with an output of 603 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. The sprint from zero to 60 mph takes just 3.4 seconds, faster than any other performance luxury sedan, and the electronically-limited top speed is 186 mph. The 4Matic all-wheel-drive variant of the S63 AMG is paired with a new ninespeed automatic transmission for the first time, while the top-of-the-range rear-wheel drive S65 retains its proven twin-turbocharged V12 with 7G-Tronic transmission boasting 621 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque. Four AMG DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes¬–Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual– allow the driver to influence the characteristics of the AMG S63 and AMG S65 Sedans. Each driving mode modifies key parameters such as engine response, transmission, suspension, steering, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), and all-wheel drive (in the AMG S63). The driver has the option of pressing the "M" button to switch directly to manual mode, in which gearshifts are executed exclusively using the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. If required, the suspension settings can be specially selected as well. The 3-stage ESP and exhaust flap can also be operated with a special button. The AMG S65 features a CURVE function, which allows the body of the car to tilt to the inside of a turn by up to 2.65-degrees (similar to a motorcycle rider), thereby reducing centrifugal forces perceived by passengers and virtually eliminating body roll.

Inside the cabin, the new S-Class is characterized by two new highresolution displays, each with a screen diagonal of 12.3 inches. The pair is housed under a single pane of glass, which lends the impression of a widescreen cockpit and emphasizes the horizontal orientation of the interior design. Virtual instruments are displayed in the direct field of vision of the driver as well as a central display above the center console. With the fully digital cockpit, the driver can choose from three different display styles (Classic, Sport and Progressive) and configure the information and views relevant to them. Touch Control Buttons on the steering wheel respond to swiping motions like the screen of a smartphone and enable the driver to control the entire multimedia system without having to take their hands off the steering wheel. The multimedia system can also be operated via touchpad with controller in the center console and by Voice Control. The operation of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC or standard cruise control is managed via steering wheel-mounted controls. Enhanced Level 2 autonomous driving functions, including Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist, provide even more comfortable support for the driver to keep a safe distance and stay in their lane. Speed is adjusted automatically ahead of curves or intersections, which is complemented by a considerably improved Active Lane Change Assist and additional functions of Active Emergency Stop Assist. For the first time, map and navigation data are used to calculate driving behavior. At one glance, an "Assistance Graphics" menu on the instrument panel shows the driver which assistance functions are selected and to what situations the systems are currently responding to. The optional ENERGIZING Comfort system is a world-first entering series production. This feature links various comfort systems in the vehicle together, such as climate control, ambient lighting and massage functions, into a ten-minute “wellness” setup. Owners can choose from Freshness, Warmth, Vitality, Joy, and Comfort programs to configure a specific wellness program to suit their current mood. A pair of new natural grain ash wood trims are available for 2018, as well as revised cabin materials and colorways, including Silk Beige/Deep Sea Blue, Magma Gray/Espresso Brown, and Mahogany/Silk Beige. Among the available AMG options are a choice of forged 20-inch wheels, AMG Performance Studio options, and an AMG Ceramic Composite Braking system. "The development of the new S-Class was extremely extensive. With a whole series of new features and functions, the S-Class remains a technological pioneer," says Ola Källenius, Member of the Board of Management responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development. Pricing for the 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be announced closer to its on-sale at US dealers in late 2017. sl

The view across the rooftops of the 7th arrondissement to the Eiffel Tower from the three-bedroom 'Margaux' apartment

PARIS IN ERNEST Tracing the footsteps of a literary giant Written by Bridget Williams I arrived in Paris 96 years and 29 days after Ernest Hemingway and his new bride Hadley, who were somewhat unprepared for the dreariness of winter in the city. During those first few months, Hemingway wrote to his colleague, American novelist Sherwood Anderson, remarking about the cold and his low spirits saying, “I do not know what I thought Paris would be like but it was not that way.” Indeed, it is easy to love Paris in the springtime, but I find it even more beguiling in the winter, when its soul is laid as bare as the leafless trees that line the banks of the Seine. Admiring the architecture of naked branches reaching out in all directions, I am reminded of the decorative iron railings that adorn the famous façades of Baron Haussmann buildings lining the boulevards. With no indoor plumbing, the Hemingway’s first apartment at 74 rue Cardinal Lemoine in the 5th arrondissement was less-than-ideal. In spite of the primitive conditions, the couple embraced their bohemian lifestyle, buoyed by a strong US dollar and an influx of stellar literary and artistic luminaries that made the 1920s a great time to be a writer in Paris. Capitalizing on 58 slmag.net

convivial connections and the pervading creative atmosphere, Hemingway was soon on a path to infamy. I know I’m not alone in my romanticized and heavily rose-colored view of the people and places of this era (perpetuated even further by the Woody Allen film Midnight in Paris), so for my most recent trip to the City of Lights, we made it our mission to tread the timeworn footsteps of literary legends. Eschewing the traditional hotel route, we opted instead for a more “authentic” Parisian experience by renting an apartment through Paris Perfect (parisperfect.com), a company founded more than 20 years ago by a former French cardiac surgeon and his American investment banker wife. Working with the Paris Perfect team to whittle down the available properties–ranging in size from a studio unit to a sprawling five-bedroom villa, based on our likes, dislikes and intended activities–we were able to find an ideal match. And ideal it was, as our “Champagne” apartment, located on the Left Bank in the heart or the 7th arrondissement (from $435/night), was a far cry from the squalor of Hemingway’s first abode.

Although we were aware of the apartment’s straight-on, postcard-perfect view of the Eiffel Tower from its wraparound balcony, as well as the living and dining rooms and the kitchen, it was truly something else to behold in person. The experience of starting and ending the day in the midst of such a global icon was simply magical. Our one-bedroom, 590 square-foot apartment was fully equipped for a comfortable home-away-from-home stay, including a modern kitchen with granite countertops, a petite dining area perfect for candlelight dinners, and a spacious living area outfitted in classic Parisian style. Outside of the mesmerizing view, what I loved most about renting through Paris Perfect was the comprehensive neighborhood and visitor guide (more than 40 pages in total) that was provided to us digitally prior to arrival and in hard copy form in the apartment. Chock-full of insider information that would take the occasional Paris tourist years to acquire, it allowed us to easily plot out where to dine and what to see, and even more helpful, what places to avoid based on client and staff feedback. The neighborhood surrounding our chosen apartment is wellknown for its street markets (including the Rue Cler food market and Ront de l’Alma open market), and we had grand plans to visit the butcher, baker, and macaroon maker in order to create a locally60 slmag.net

sourced feast, but with a vast array of enticing dining options ranging from charming family-owned bistros to extravagant Michelin-star dining within walking distance, we opted to leave the cooking to the experts. Paris Perfect offers scores of walking tours and itinerary planning services tailored to an array of interests, from art to wine and everything in between. As this was only our second time in Paris and our time was limited, we opted to book a private, customized tour with Michael Osman, an American who has called the city home for the past 15 years. Affable and energetic, with a background in fine art and a deep love of his adopted city, he seized on our ambitious itinerary with aplomb. We managed to ogle the greatest hits at the Louvre, treasure hunt at the Les Puces flea market and visit several of his key “must see” stops, all before dinner. Though we regrettably had Michael to guide the way only for a single day, he did provide us with a wealth of information to craft a self-guided literary tour, focused on the cafés and watering holes frequented by Hemingway and his contemporaries. Hemingway was known to be a keen people watcher, and then, as now, one of the best places to take in the ebb and flow of street life in Paris is at a sidewalk café. At Brasserie Lipp (151 Boulevard Saint-Germain; brasserie-lipp.com), you can still partake of

A meal at Maxim's is a must for fans of Midnight in Paris.

an Alsatian meal a la Hemingway–beer, pommes à l’huile and sausage–albeit at a far higher fare than Hem paid in his day. Hemingway often drank with fellow writer F. Scott Fitzgerald at the Hôtel Ritz Paris (15 Place Vendôme; ritzparis. com). In 1944, Hemingway “liberated” the bar from the Nazis in cahoots with a group of displaced soldiers, ordering a round of champagne for every patron and thereby prompting the spot to henceforth be known as Bar Hemingway. Fresh off of a fouryear, $400 million property-wide renovation, the revamped bar is helmed by the charming duo of Colin Field and Roman Devaux. Popular among Americans, the atmosphere is courteous and lively, and ladies’ drinks are presented with a delicate white rose balanced on the rim of the glass. Opened on Thanksgiving Day in 1911, Harry’s New York bar claims to be the birthplace of the Bloody Mary in 1921. A popular hangout for “Lost Generation” writers of the 1920s, George Gershwin is purported to have composed An American In Paris there. The mahogany bar and wall paneling are original; the latter is now plastered with pennants hailing from American colleges and universities. Given my affinity for Midnight in Paris, we included a dinner at Maxim’s on our itinerary even though it isn’t known as a

Hemingway haunt. Although the food didn’t knock our socks off, the service was outstanding and the ambiance in the Art Nouveau institution, founded as a bistro in 1893 by Maxime Gaillard, and since frequented by countless celebrities and royals, made it a worthwhile stop. Other stops of note for the literary-minded traveler include Café le Dome (108 Boulevard du Montparnasse); Closerie des Lilas (171 Boulevard du Montparnasse); Café de Flore (172 Boulevard Saint-Germain), one of the oldest coffeehouses in Paris; and Les Deux Magots (6 place Saint-Germain-des-Pres), which opened in 1875 and was a favorite of American artists for decades. One of the best places for people watching, the café’s terrace overlooks the church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, founded in the 6th century. After spending a few short days and nights eating and drinking our way around the City of Lights, it became that much easier to understand the affectionate nostalgia pervading Hemingway’s posthumously published memoir about being a struggling young expatriate journalist and writer in Paris. ”If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” sl

WHERE THE REBEL MEETS THE ROAD Written by Andre James

62 slmag.net

Pagani’s Huayra Coupe ushered in a new era of hypercars when it was unveiled to the public at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. An alluring combination of speed and spellbinding aesthetics, the Huayra Coupe, named after Huayra-tata, the “Father of Wind” in Incan culture, raised the bar for a performance-based technology mated with a lightweight build, resulting in the highest lateral acceleration ever seen on a car with road tires. The company launched a Huayra Roadster project in 2010 with the simple intent of creating a Huayra Coupe with a removable roof and conventional doors, as they did for their Zonda Roadster in 2003. Three years into the project, the design was scrapped in favor of creating a car independent of its predecessor and a standout in its own right. “If we think of the Huayra Coupe as a personification of elegance and timeless lines, the Huayra Roadster was to be the rebellious sister, shapely and beautiful, but with a sharp edge for

those who are careless,” said Horacio Pagani, the Argentine-born founder of Pagani Automobili S.p.A., which is based in San Cesario sul Panaro, near Modena, Italy. Formally unveiled this past February at the Geneva Motor Show, every detail of the Coupe has been developed from the ground up with its own unique design language and in direct symmetry with aerodynamic requirements to create a work of art on wheels. The cars skeletal composition, meaning that nearly every mechanical part is visible, sets it apart from most modern supercars, and ensures that even the smallest working component has been designed to be both beautiful and functional. Two options replace the fixed roof: one is crafted from carbon fiber with a central glass panel to mimic the look of a coupe with the freedom of a convertible, the other is a fabric soft top able to be stored inside the Roadster and installed in “just a few simple steps”.

slmag.net

Traditionally, convertible versions of sports cars are heavier and slightly slower, so creating a Roadster that was lighter than its corresponding Coupe was an ambitious goal for Pagani from the outset of the project. To achieve this, the Pagani engineering team refined the development of carbo-titanium and combined it with Carbo-Triax HP52, a new form of composite material developed specifically for the Huayra Roadster. The result is a 176-pound weight reduction over the Huayra Coupe, and an increase in the frame’s torsional rigidity, which is a significant factor in improving the handling necessary for precise operation of a hypercar such as this. “Engaging in such a challenge, to make just 100 cars, has meant an impressive effort for a company like ours, from a technical, human, and economic point of view,” Pagani stated. A 12-cylinder Mercedes-AMG M158 engine built specifically for Pagani delivers 754 horsepower at 5500 RPM. Although the company has yet to release an official 0-60mph time, it has been widely reported to be just under three seconds, with a top speed around 230mph, placing the Roadster squarely among the world’s fastest cars. Turbines have been developed to provide an immediate throttle response with no delay, providing the driver 64 slmag.net

with full control of the vehicle. Power and torque are regulated by a new seven-speed AMT gearbox that incorporates a hydraulic and electronic activation system combined with new carbon synchronizers to deliver seamless, precision shifting. The electronic differential facilitates adaption to all possible driving conditions. Since the release of Zonda F in 2006, Pagani cars, in partnership with Brembo, have attained some of the shortest recorded stopping distances for 100-0 and 200-0. For the Huayra Roadster, Brembo developed 380mm ventilated carbonceramic rotors that are gripped by six-piston calipers in front and four-pistons at the rear. To house the brakes, Pagani teamed up with another motoring industry titan–Pirelli–to design and sculpt a specific rubber for the Huayra Roadster tires. The new Pirelli PZero Corsa tires measure 21-inches at the rear and 20-inches up front, and are capable of (according to Pagani) enabling 1.80g of lateral grip. Developed along with Horacio Pagani, the tire displays an “HP” logo on its shoulder. It seems that even with a base price of approximately $2.5 million, getting your hands on a Huayra Roadster means acting as quick as the car is fast; as of press time all 100 cars scheduled to be built have been spoken for. sl

THE

JOSEPH

Written by Amelia Jeffers / Photography by James Henthorn

Earlier this summer, I found myself in need of a getaway and decided to try to soothe my restless spirit with a night at Le MĂŠridien Columbus, The Joseph. I walked away from the mini staycation feeling recharged and having a new appreciation for the city I sometimes take for granted. A relaxing few nights at this decidedly European gem is a solid recommendation to anyone looking for an indulgent escape from reality. Located in the vibrant Short North District, The Joseph is a luxury hotel, a modern art gallery, a sumptuous spa, an artisanal restaurant, oh, and a coffee shop-slash-bar that just may have been designed with heavenly input. It feels like nowhere else in Columbus. The modern, light-filled rooms are comfortable and chic, and the service is impeccable. Truly, from the moment we were greeted at the valet stand through the delectable surprise left in our room (delectable, artisan eclairs created in partnership with James Beard award-winning pastry chef Johnny Iuzzini exclusively for Le Meridien), our short visit was marked by memorable, remarkable service.

After dropping our bags, our group headed to the lobby for Friday evening happy hour, complete with live music, a cozy fire and a whiskey tasting. Quickly unwinding, I headed up to one of the unique spa suites where I was treated to a wonderful massage and facial. To really appreciate all that The Joseph has to offer, it is necessary to book a spa service. The generous rooms include a walk in shower with a heated, mosaic tile bed complete with rainfall; soaking tub overlooking downtown; and adjacent lounge area with comfortable couches. Guests are accompanied to and from the spa suite, with extra time allotted for personal enjoyment of the space. Professional aestheticians, massage therapists and first-rate attendants will rebuild you body and soul. The availability of the spa suites and services is not dependent upon an overnight stay - a notable point for anyone seeking an under-the-radar, intimate alternative to the usual spa experience. Speaking of soul, in the lobby you will fall in love with the open air cafe, Soul at the Joseph. For early risers, the it opens at 6 a.m. with a true coffeehouse vibe. As your day unfolds, so does Soul where you will find the perfect refreshment to sustain a day as busy or as relaxing as you desire. The adjacent Guild House restaurant serves up creative American cuisine at Soul throughout the day, with a distinctive flair that will most certainly herald a return trip. For dinner, my guests and I enjoyed the sourdough toast appetizer with mustard-braised beef, Blue Jacket chĂ¨vre, and Tomato Jam; a selection of flatbreads and the seared tuna salad - a delicious take on a classic nicoise. We took the scenic route back to our room, stopping at each floor to enjoy the selection of artwork on display from the collection of internationally revered Columbus collectors, Ron and Ann Pizzuti. For those taken by the works, a short stroll over to Joseph Editions offers an opportunity to bring home a souvenir in the form of a limited edition print - many at less than the cost of a nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stay in the hotel.

And, if the sampling at The Joseph is not enough to sate the art-loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appetite, it is worth mentioning that guests may visit the nearby Pizzuti Collection at no additional cost through the Unlock Art program. Located at 632 North Park Street, the Pizzuti Collection is central Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest art museum, featuring the private collection of Ron and Ann Pizzuti, who have been named previously by ArtNews as one of the top 200 art collectors in the world. The gallery features contemporary art exhibits with the intent to foster cultural understanding and education exchange. Through October, visitors are transported to the far East via Visions From India, an exhibit full of color, innovation, and delight featuring large-scale installations, lush colorful paintings, video works, and remarkable sculptures from the 21st century. Waking up early the next morning, I started my day watching the city come alive while chasing what remained of my monkey brain away on the treadmill in the sleek gym looking over the city horizon. Before heading out for some shopping along the bustling High Street corridor, we savored the very best room service breakfast I have ever had - light and airy pancakes with savory bacon for my girls and a deconstructed lobster and eggs benedict for me. Just 24 hours at The Joseph helped bridge the divide between spring break and summer vacation; and a Columbus stay-cation is now a requisite quarterly indulgence. sl

CITY PARK Written by Amelia Jeffers / Photography by Dale Clark

Every great city has an iconic house or two that are instantly recognizable. The house that even successful members of the community drive by thinking “someday.” Standing at the crest of a hill overlooking Wolfe Park, 212 Park Drive is one of those in Columbus. Built in 1942, and having been residence to some of the city’s most influential families, the extraordinary Georgian conveys an air of elegance and imposing historical significance; but just a few steps in, the current owner’s total renovation becomes apparent.

A MEMORABLE INVESTMENT Written by Amelia Jeffers / Photography by Rodney Middendorf

Most luxury homes lend themselves well to entertaining , but some have a standout party personality that invites guests to step in, kick back and create lasting memories. At 7305 Lambton Green South, the Tuckerman Home Group delivered on their renowned reputation with a superbly designed executive residence with over 11,000 square feet perfectly planned for entertaining at every level - from intimate family get together to large, formal events. 80 slmag.net

The open and inviting grand entrance is bordered by mirrored, matching rooms - utilized as a home office and formal dining room for the current homeowners, but well-suited for use as a library or music room for the next. Along the back half of the home, a generous kitchen with every appointment one would expect anchors an avenue of spacious living areas with walls of windows and doors overlooking what is easily one of the most beautifully designed outdoor entertaining areas in central Ohio.

What represents over $1.5 million invested in additions and renovations to an already impressive property began as the simple hope of a loving mother and father that their two teenage children would choose to bring friends home rather than head somewhere else. With the help of Gossing Construction and Capital City Pools, they set out to create a fabulous and fun environment that would be irresistible to young and old alike. A large saltwater pool takes center stage, with an attached hot tub and highlighted by a large fountain feature. Generous, stepped patios provide plenty of seating, including a formal fireplace as well as a more casual but lovely fire pit; and the well-manicured lawn invites soccer or bocce. After dark, the entire area is dramatically and functionally lit to take

the fun well into the night. Steps away, a gracious pool house was added to the southeastern corner of the home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a true addition of indoor living space with a full kitchen, spa bath, dressing room and big screen tvs for the ultimate in relaxation in every season. When Ohio temperatures are uncooperative, the party gathers round a fire or moves indoors. Downstairs, the massive basement offers a full bar and plenty of room for games, theater and music. After everyone else heads home, the family heads upstairs to spacious bedrooms with generous en-suite baths. For one lucky family in central Ohio, an incalculable return has been earned on an investment we would all be wise to consider: irreplaceable, invaluable memories. sl

IN CHRISTY'S SHOES SOLE CELEBRATION

The 2017 Sole Celebration Ohio Event, held on May 18th, was the 9th Annual Fundraiser for In Christy’s Shoes. Stepping Up For Women was the theme of the evening and the inspiration behind a campaign that continues to bring awareness to the work of the mission, as well as challenges that women face today. The event was held at St. Charles Preparatory School in the Walter Commons Area, with more than 500 guests registered for the evening and over $133,000 raised for local programs. The evening consisted of inspiring and personal stories from Jason Goldberg, the CEO of America’s Floor Source, to women who shared how they are currently working to overcome their own challenges. Performances by both the Kids In Harmony, led by director Jen Robinson, and a special performance by women from the Harmony Project along with their ORW Sisters (via video), were led by director David Brown, brought the audience to their feet. The evening ended with a fashion show which highlighted the latest DSW trends and featured Columbus Blue Jackets Alumni players.
