The 8,000-egg event kicks off at 2 p.m. on Engel & Völkers Championship Field, and is grouped by age to allow all participants a fair chance to collect as many eggs as possible. The Easter Bunny and the club’s “Chukker” mascot will be on hand to make appearances. After the hunt, stick around to watch the 113th USPA U.S. Open Polo Championship featured game at 3 p.m., part of the country’s most prestigious polo tournament and played at the International Polo Club Palm Beach since 2004.

From the Editor-in-Chief
In the United Kingdom, they call it your “local,” a favorite neighborhood pub or a frequent haunt where, just like on “Cheers,” everyone knows your name. It’s a place you feel totally at ease popping in for a sandwich, a pint or a cup of coffee with friends or on your own. Somewhere you’re considered one of the regulars, and you can get away with simply asking for “the usual.” Goose the Market is my local. Well, for the sake of diplomacy, it’s one of my locals. From my first visit shortly after the popular deli, market and butcher shop opened in 2007 at 25th and Delaware, I knew I’d found my happy place. I’ve conducted countless business lunches over Batalis (the establishment’s epic signature sandwich) with our food writer, dined with my wife on date nights, and shared plenty of vino and charcuterie with good friends in the basement enoteca. On any given weekday, you might find me lunching at one of the window seats, nursing a gelato at an outdoor table if the weather’s nice, or hunting around in the basement for a great bottle of wine to complement our family dinner that evening. About a year ago on Good Friday, I stood at the counter next to a dapper gent holding two full bags of grocery items as he waited to pay. We started chatting, as one is apt to do at Goose, and I wound up helping him carry the bags to his car (which just happens to be the same make and model as mine). As good fortune would have it, in the course of our conversation, we discovered we’re neighbors who live around the corner from each other. Next thing you know, we’re fast friends and meeting at Goose for sandwiches on a regular basis. The fact that friendships like this form often at Goose the Market says a lot about owners Chris and Mollie Eley and the culture they’ve created. This cozy haunt that has become a virtual home away from home for so many patrons is much more than just somewhere to eat. It’s a place to find camaraderie and connection, to build relationships with proprietors and fellow customers we see time and again. Because so many employees have been there since the very beginning, I feel as if I’m stepping into a roomful of old friends every time I visit. And they extend that same courtesy, enthusiasm and knowledge to every customer, old or new, which is only part of what makes stopping at Goose such a memorable, comforting experience. It’s not hard to find your happy place. Just seek out a cozy little spot you like, and make it your own. If you can’t find one in your neighborhood, I suggest a foray to the Goose. You’ll find me by the window.

Interest from car collectors around the globe fueled strong sales at the 2017 Arizona auctions Written by Campbell Kent Each January, Arizona becomes the apple of every top-drawer motoring aficionado’s eye as the world’s most respected auction houses gather there to put everything from cute micro-cars to covetable supercars on offer to the highest bidder.

BARRETT-JACKSON At Barrett-Jackson, star power co-mingled with horsepower to produce impressive results for their 46th annual multi-day auction and lifestyle event, which drew an estimated attendance of 320,000. Sales among the 1,719 vehicles consigned (the most at one auction in the company’s history) totaled nearly $100 million, with more than 40 vehicle auction sales records, as verified by Hagerty Data. The company reported a 99.5 percent sell-through rate. “This year’s entertainment factor was through the roof,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “From Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Steven Tyler and Grammy award-winning Justin Bieber, through undefeated pro-boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and the most decorated Olympian in history, Michael Phelps, to two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson, there was no shortage of entertainment and fullthrottle excitement.” In total, eight vehicles crossed the block in Scottsdale to support various charitable causes. With music pumping and lights flashing, Steven Tyler roared onto the stage standing in the passenger seat of his rare 2012 Hennessey Venom GT Spyder. The car sold for $800,000, with 100 percent of the hammer price benefiting Janie’s Fund, a philanthropic initiative created by Tyler to bring hope and healing to girls who have suffered the trauma of abuse and neglect. World-champion pro stock car driver and team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. also stepped up to sell vehicles for the benefit of Nationwide Children’s Hospital, a leading pediatric care facility and research institute. Donated by Chevrolet, a 1970 Resto-Mod Chevrolet Chevelle that Earnhardt helped design brought $200,000, while the Hendrick Motorsports No. 88 Nationwide Chevrolet SS that he raced in NASCAR Cup Series races brought $200,000.

GOODING & COMPANY Over the course of its two-day sale, Gooding & Company realized more than $33.4 million, selling 106 of 126 lots before a standing-room-only crowd. Nine new benchmarks were posted for Ferrari, Bugatti, Porsche and AMC. “Our clients understand the rare and important opportunity to own a significant car that is highly sought after, such as the three-owner 1925 Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix and the one-owner 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing,” said David Gooding, president and founder of Gooding & Company. “These types of cars, which are rarely seen at auction and boast incredible provenance, may not come up for sale again for many decades.” Gooding & Company Top Five Sales: 1925 Bugatti Type 35 Grand Prix – $3,300,000 1965 Ferrari 500 Superfast – $2,915,000 1932 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Series V Grand Sport Roadster – $1,595,000 2011 Ferrari 599 SA Aperta – $1,485,000 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing – $1,457,500 RUSSO & STEELE Total sales reached $22.1 million with 606 of the 780 lots offered by Russo & Steele hammering sold. The sell through rate of 78 percent pushed the company’s performance up seven figures over its 2016 auction. “This year, with our move to our incredible, long-term new home at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick the enthusiasm captured by Russo & Steele has never been higher. However, it still fundamentally demonstrates that our clients genuinely value our customer service focused philosophy of cars and camaraderie and that the most desirable core component of a successful automotive event in Scottsdale remains the cars,” said Russo & Steele CEO Drew Alcazar. Russo & Steele’s Top Five Sales: 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 S Cabriolet A – $423,500.00 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS Spyder – $379,500.00 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 – $335,500.00 2006 Ford GT – $261,750.00 2006 Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR – $253,000.00

BONHAMS The company posted multiple world records during its Scottsdale sale, including a 1963 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Competition, which became both the most valuable E-Type and most valuable post-1960 Jaguar to ever sell at auction. A telephone bidder paid an impressive $7,370,000. A 1952 Ferrari 340 America Vignale Spider realized $6,380,000, setting a new world auction record for the model. It was driven in period by noted factory drivers in almost every prominent race, including the Mille Miglia, 24-Hours of Le Mans and Targa Florio, to name but a few. Also establishing a new world auction record was a highly original 1964 Porsche 904 GTS, with one owner for the past 28 years that was purchased for $2,310,000 by a private European enthusiast. James Knight, Bonhams Group Motoring director, commented, "We were applauded by the market for assembling one of the finest selection of cars ever seen at Scottsdale. To have achieved a near sellout of our highlight cars, backed up with an 82 percent sell-through rate is immensely satisfying." Bonham’s Top Five Sales 1963 Jaguar E-Type Lightweight Competition – $7,370,000 1952 Ferrari 340 America Spider Competizione – $6,380,000 1928 Mercedes-Benz TyP S 26/120/180 Supercharged Sports Tourer – $4,812,500 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 5th Series Supercharged Grand Sport Spider – $2,805,000 1964 Porsche 9045 GTS – $2,310,000
RM SOTHEBY’S For its 18th annual Phoenix sale, held at the Arizona Biltmore, RM Sotheby’s reported close to $54 million in total sales, with 89 percent of all lots sold. Bidders hailed from 30 countries, with 20 percent those being first-time RM Sotheby’s clientele. The top-seller among the 141 lots that found a new garage to call home was the one-off, owner-commissioned 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster, which sold for $6,600,000. Several best-of-category Ferraris fetched top dollar, led by a highly awarded, matching-numbers 1969 Ferrari 365 GTS, which surpassed its pre-sale estimate by realizing $3,602,500, nearly triple the previous auction record for the model. Also setting a new auction benchmark was a 1995 Ferrari F50, one of just two U.S. delivery examples finished in black, which brought $3,135,000. “This year’s top 10 sales clearly indicate that demand for modern supercars remains strong, while exceptional pre-war classics – such as the 540 K – anchor the strength and resilience of the market,” said Ian Kelleher, managing director of RM Sotheby’s West Coast Division. RM Sotheby’s Arizona Top Five Sales: 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster – $6,600,000 1969 Ferrari 365 GTS – $3,602, 500 1995 Ferrari F50 – $3,135,000 1961 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Coupe Aerodinamico – $3,080,000 2003 Ferrari Enzo – $2,695,000 sl

Curating a Lifestyle: Reinterpreting a Classic Written by Amelia and Jeff Jeffers
Left: Sirènes Vase by Terry Rodgers & Lalique, 2017. Right: Sirènes Vase, Lost Wax, 12.6 x 11 inches, by Terry Rodgers and Lalique, 2017. Numbered, signed and limited edition of eight. Green crystal & platinum. Exclusively at Harrods until May 7, 2017. Photos courtesy Lalique.
When he released his Bacchantes vase in 1927, René Jules Lalique was 67 and still riding a wave of success that had lasted an impressive four decades. His eponymous glassworks, based in Alsace, France, had received extraordinary acclaim at the 1925 International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts in Paris– an event that both established and gave a name to the Art Deco movement. Having launched his career in the Art Nouveau period of the late 19th century, Lalique bucked the trend of most artists of the period who favored a restrained nod to nature’s elegance; instead challenging the notion that “sophisticated” equaled “simple”. His jewelry designs were considered haute couture, and soon clients throughout the chic shopping districts of Paris clamored for his work. The Lalique name became synonymous with luxurious style, fine craftsmanship and top quality materials. Lalique’s move into glass began largely as experimental work in his home; a hobby of sorts, afforded by his burgeoning jewelry shops in the early 1900s. As word of his glass production got out, he was commissioned by Coty, the top perfumer in France, to
38 slmag.net
design and create intricate bottles for the brand. Never one to stagnate, Lalique honed his craft, focusing more and more on cutting-edge work with glass, using the delicate and relatively difficult medium as high art. The resulting prosperity sealed Lalique’s destiny as the world’s finest maker of art glass, with his original factory still producing today. The Bacchantes vase is considered by some art historians to be a narrative by a confident, established artist on the emerging, socially liberated woman of the 1920s. The dancing young priestesses of Bacchus, the Roman God of wine and pleasure, are depicted by Lalique as more sensual than depraved, reflecting the fading inhibitions in 1920s society and representing a thencurrent interpretation of the classic Roman myth. Since its original release, it has been a staple in the Lalique collection and has become a lasting symbol of Lalique’s celebrated style. So, when the house of Lalique sought to honor the iconic vase (and enthusiastic collectors) in the 90th year since its release, company leadership made a brilliant decision to call
Terry Rodgers modeling the figures in plastiline. Photo courtesy Terry Rodgers Studio
for a modern interpretation of the classic design by Terry Rodgers, a highly successful contemporary artist known for his edgy, realistic depictions of lithe, partially naked beauties in seemingly libidinous scenes. At first glance, his large-scale canvases seem to be a straightforward narrative à la Sex in the City, but a closer inspection reveals the dichotomy between a super-charged, sexy (and Rodgers would say, fictional) high life sold by 21st century media and the sobering realities of a disconnected, isolated existence rampant within every socioeconomic realm. Rodgers’ muses, it turns out, are the very beings whose liberation was celebrated by René Jules Lalique in his original Bacchantes design. Working for more than three years, Rodgers painstakingly selected his models, staged each in sensual and self-assured positions, photographed, sculpted and then traveled to Lalique’s Alsace factory to tackle a medium he had never before attempted. Intricate molds were created, and under the tutelage of master craftsmen, Rodgers’ vision became an amazing reality in
Lalique’s signature, stunning crystal. Embracing his predecessor’s penchant for contrasting between clear and frosted finishes and incorporating a patina or other materials (in this case, platinum), Rodgers’ efforts culminated in two versions: a large-scale, limited edition production in four colors (midnight blue, purple, black and deep green) using the lost-wax technique to create highly dimensional figures in a complex, stunning finish with applied platinum highlights; and a smaller casting, beautifully executed in Lalique’s classic hand-finished clear crystal, as well as an option in opulent gold lustre. Fittingly launched at the Maison et Objet trade fair in Paris earlier this year, the retail release of the Sirènes line will be staggered, with prices ranging from $4,900 to $55,000 in top luxury retailers in the U.S. If critical acclaim is any indication, Rodgers’ new version is destined to become an iconic contribution to the Lalique catalog for generations to come. sl Amelia & Jeff Jeffers are co-owners of two fine art, antique and bespoke collectibles companies: Garth's of Delaware, Ohio and Selkirk of St. Louis, Missouri.

HEAVEN SENT Finding luxury and adventure on the island of gods Written by Bridget Williams
Emerging from the relative quiet of the climate-controlled baggage claim and into the bustling open-air terminal at Denpasar International Airport, my senses immediately went into overdrive. Humbled by the humidity, I felt as though I was on the receiving end of a prolonged bear hug from a sweaty workout buddy. My brain was struggling to process the dizzying array of sights and sounds coming from all directions. Looking over the heads of sign-toting tour guides and shouting taxi drivers packed paparazzi-style along the perimeter of a well-trod carpet, a surreal figure loomed large: a fantastical female deity with large, bare breasts, razor-like nails and skin as smooth as glass. There was no need to rub my eyes as I knew this wasn’t a mirage brought on by jetlag; I had arrived in Bali and was already smitten. 40 slmag.net
Somehow, amidst the chaos, a friendly face appeared and called me by name. This well-coiffed representative from The Mulia, the largest resort in Indonesia, plucked me from the crowd and ushered me into a nearby waiting van, where the reprieve of air-conditioning and a cool hand towel instantly reset my senses. Along the 30-minute ride to our destination, I watched in awe the death-defying zigzagging of scooters in and out of traffic that seemed to exhibit no clear pattern of rhyme or reason. One can easily discern the “it will be fun to see Bali by scooter� tourists from more seasoned veterans by their deer-in-headlights expression as they contemplate how to merge into a roundabout. Laden with offerings, large Hindu temples and small shrines (cumulatively numbering some 20,000 on the island) mark busy intersections and could be spied tucked between storefronts or at the end of narrow alleyways.
Entrance to The Mulia Spa
The oasis pool is an exclusive amenity for guests of The Mulia and Mulia Villas.
Three resorts in one, each more exclusive than the next, the Mulia Resort, The Mulia and Mulia Villas literally have something for everyone. My stay was split between an oceanfront suite in The Mulia and a nearby super-private hillside villa. Exiting the van under the portico that marked the entrance to The Mulia, I was greeted by an army of attendants who continued my sensory immersion by welcoming me with a delicate and sweetly scented Frangipani blossom to tuck behind my ear and gently rubbing droplets of floral-infused water into my palms. Guests of both The Mulia and Mulia Villas are assigned a personal butler for the duration of their stay. Opening the door to my third-floor suite, I was immediately drawn to an expansive terrace that overlooked the sprawling pool complex and the Indian Ocean. Providing endless fodder for envy-
inducing social media posts (guilty as charged) are a sentry of towering, gentle-faced female forms standing watch outside the cabanas of the Oasis pool (one of six pools on property). The undulating rhythm created by the gentle cascade of water spilling over the rim of shallow bowls balanced atop their heads and along the contours of their elongated bodies served as a fitting accompaniment to the steady beat of calm waves lapping at the nearby beach. Looking off into the distance, perched on the edge of a limestone cliff, is Geger Temple; it’s worth the short walk up a steep paved path just outside the Mulia’s property line to admire the temple’s intricate architecture. There are 111 one- and two-bedroom beachfront suites in my vicinity, and as I survey the scene, all I can hear is the calming sound of water. Smitten once again. slmag.net

Having arrived around dinnertime but too exhausted to change out of my plush robe and into something more presentable in order to take advantage of one of the eight dining destinations on property, I summoned my butler to help me design a Balinese buffet for one; the resulting feast proved to be almost too much for the dining table in my room to accommodate, and definitely way too much for me to eat at one sitting. It did, however, serve as a fantastic and flavory introduction to a succession of outstanding dining experiences I would enjoy on subsequent days. I’ve had the luxury of staying at other properties with butler service and never really knew how best to take advantage of such an exclusive amenity; while it’s no big deal to some people, I’m not entirely comfortable with someone I don’t know unpacking my suitcase while I sit idly by. It was different at The Mulia and Mulia Villas; after just a few days, my butler had an intuitive understanding of my schedule and took the initiative to have a warm, muscle-soothing bubble bath waiting for me after my trip to the Mulia gym, a sprawling haven of cardio and weight equipment that proved to be heaven-on-earth for a workout junkie like me. The four-year-old resort is quite contemporary in its design with high-end, atypical finishes such as nubby silk upholstery, ample amounts of stone, glass and original fine artwork converging to create a distinct sense of place without veering into
the theatrical. The Mulia and Mulia Villa guests have exclusive access to the Oasis pool and cabanas, “The Lounge” at The Mulia, and the “Living Room” at the Mulia Villas for dining and complimentary high tea. A short(ish) uphill stroll from The Mulia (or a shuttle ride away), the 108 Mulia Villas, ranging in size from one-to-six bedrooms, provide the ultimate in on-property exclusivity and luxury. My one-bedroom villa boasted a private hydrotherapy pool and cabana, outdoor garden shower, oversized Jacuzzi tub, and the most high-tech toilet I’ve ever seen (a giggle-inducing remote control was needed to access its myriad functions). In relatively short order, the property has become renowned worldwide for staging weddings of distinction. A trio of chapels, each with strikingly unique architecture, as well as a beachfront ceremony site, an oceanfront Unity Garden and two ballrooms on property can accommodate everything from intimate nuptials to large-scale, no-holds-barred celebrations.

Perched on an oceanfront cliff, Geger Temple is a short walk from The Mulia.
Befitting a property with more than 800 bedrooms, the dining options are as delicious as they are diverse. A simple name that belies the diversity of its offerings, The Café is a tour-de-force of both Indonesian and international cuisine. Its popularity among locals and non-hotel guests visiting the island means that reservations are a must. The buffet is so expansive that a video I shot to commemorate the savory spectacle stretched on for more than three minutes. As a lover of spicy food, the Indian and Indonesian sections definitely satiated the need to singe my taste buds a bit; my only complaint is that my eyes were way bigger than anything my stomach could handle. Table8, a signature Oriental restaurant serving authentic Cantonese and Szechuan delicacies, boasts whimsical décor and an expansive selection of premium teas from China. Patrons are offered a hybrid-buffet supplemented by à la carte selections such as Five Head Whole Abalone Braised with Wild Mushroom and Roasted Suckling Pig. Edogin fits the bill for lovers of sushi and Teppanyaki (a style of Japanese cuisine that uses an iron griddle to quickly 44 slmag.net
cook thin slices of meat, fish, seafood, vegetables and noodles). I will admit to visiting the Mulia Deli on more than one occasion to ogle the outstanding selection of French pastries and whimsical desserts, including cakes made to look like iconic Birkin and Chanel handbags. Beachside Soleil restaurant puts a Mediterranean spin on exotic specialties from Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. Renowned for their Sunday brunch spectacular, Chef Corky O'Connor, a native of Chicago, has a fondness for sending “special” dishes to the table until you throw in the napkin (and even then he may still tempt you with just one more irresistible treat). O’Connor takes great pride in his house-made pastas and the utilization of the finest ingredients he can get his hands on. Those in search of more spirited sustenance can imbibe at the oasis-like Cascade Lounge, The Bar, the oceanfront Sky Bar, and ZJ’s Bar & Lounge, a stylish sanctuary for the island’s in-crowd.

Hoping to detox after several days of overindulgence, I signed on for a full-day wellness program at The Mulia Spa, which included three meals pre-chosen from the Healthy Living Menu that each contain 300 or less calories (believe it or not they were quite satisfying!).

Jewelry aficionados should be certain to make an appointment to visit the John Hardy Workshop and Showroom (johnhardy. com/visit-us-in-bali), established in Ubud in 1975. Observing the intricate handiwork and multiple steps involved in creating a single piece from the collection gave me a whole new appreciation for the craft. Each day the workshop’s more than 600 workers (and lucky visitors), sit down for a communal lunch prepared with the harvest from the on-site organic farm. At the heart of the island in general, and The Mulia in particular, is its people – gentle and genuine with a strong pride of place and the ability to put an artistic flair into their everyday activities. Never have I felt so at home when I was so very far removed from it. Room rates at The Mulia from $750/night and from $980/ night at the Mulia Villas.

FROM AAH TO SKI Awe-inspiring views and activities galore are offered year-round at Steamboat Springs and nearby Vista Verde Guest Ranch Written by Colin Dennis
48 slmag.net
The 540-acres that comprise Vista Verde Guest Ranch are surrounded by Medicine Bow – Routt National Forest, a U.S. Forest Service managed area that extends the Ranch's backyard by more than two-million acres.
Effervescent is an adjective often used to describe the bubbles in a glass of champagne; it is also apropos for describing the resulting emotion that follows from skiing on snow with such a minimal water content (the lowest in the United States), that it feels like you are floating on air. Tromping along the well-groomed snowshoe trails that commence just outside Thunderhead Lodge at the terminus of the gondola on the mountain in Steamboat Springs, CO, my volunteer guide, a transplant from Tennessee some 30-odd years ago, talked wistfully of one particularly memorable morning that for him embodies what makes Steamboat’s “champagne powder” so special. “We were one of the first up the chairlift after a big snow and saw this guy just jump down the hill and disappear into bank of untracked powder before reemerging a few moments later to wild applause from everyone on the lift as he continued down the mountain,” he said. Steamboat is comprised of six peaks with a diversity of trails catering to all ability levels. Tree skiing in Pioneer Ridge, Sunshine and Storm Peak in particular are unique to Steamboat and sought after by the most avid powderhounds. The powderiness of the snow I can certainly vouch for; the thrill
of hurtling oneself down a mountain to zig-zag through a glade of Aspens I personally cannot. Two days in Steamboat Springs preceded a visit to Vista Verde Guest Ranch, allowing us to take full advantage of myriad activities in the wintry wonderland, although the boom in summer activities and special events makes a visit worthwhile any time of the year. Powder without pretense was the takeaway from my time in the pioneer settlement-turned ski town (the first ski lift opened in 1963, although Norwegian Carl Howelsen is credited with introducing recreational skiing and ski jumping here in 1913). This small city has produced more winter Olympians than any other town in North America – currently 88 and counting. Extremely family friendly, there is a nice mix of fine dining and tasty dives to suit whatever your après mood might be. Be sure to try the peanut butter and bacon sandwiches at Café Diva (cafediva.com), the Fiery Margarita at Laundry (thelaundryrestaurant.com), the Rancher Pizza at Mountain Tap Brewery (mountaintapbrewery.com), the Cuban Reuben at Paramount (theparamountcolorado.com), and the burgers and colossal milkshakes at Back Door Grill (thebackdoorgrill.com).

The Steamboat Grand Hotel. Photo by Larry Pierce/Steamboat Ski Resort.
Top-tier nightly lodging closest to the Steamboat Ski Resort is the seven-story Steamboat Grand (steamboatgrand.com), which offers 328 guestroom accommodations, ranging from studios, parlors, double queen and king hotel rooms to one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums and eight luxurious penthouses, all decorated with a refined take on the rugged mountain spirit of the American West. The Grand is home to award-winning dining, a full-service spa and fitness center, an outdoor heated pool and two large whirlpool spas, and 17,000 square-feet of indoor/ outdoor convention space. The skiing season runs until April 16; night skiing under the lights is available through March 27. Other special spring events include the torchlight parade and fireworks on March 17; Springalicious from April 1-16; the 37th Cardboard Classic on April 15; and, the 9th Splashdown Pond Skim on April 16. For more information visit steamboat.com. After fully acclimating our warm-blooded selves to the altitude and the snow, we were chauffeured on the 45-minute drive from the Steamboat Grand to Vista Verde Ranch by Miller Anderson, a passionate fly fisherman who was in the midst of his first winter working in Colorado. Clad in contemporary cowboy attire, he looked every bit the part of a young ranch hand, complete with a substantial cowboy hat and healthy beard to belie his baby face. Our lengthy conversation en route proved to be a fitting introduction to the tight-knit Vista Verde family. Throughout my travels, I’ve found that it is rare to encounter a crew so genuinely and unanimously enamored with their place of work; the collective sentiment undoubtedly enhances the guest experience on numerable levels. Vista Verde Guest Ranch is comprised of 540-acres in the middle of Colorado’s Routt National Forest. On the day of our
50 slmag.net
arrival the sparkly snow was picturesquely piled atop buildings and small landforms like stiff peaks of whipping cream. A herd of 100+ horses with full winter coats ambled with languid movements in a vast pasture near the main lodge. Cleared paths with columns of snow measuring five feet or more on each side led to guest cabins, barns and activity buildings. A one-horse sleigh passing by with a couple snuggled under a blanket lent a very Currier and Ives feeling to the already idyllic setting. Open from June through September and again from December to March, Vista Verde offers nine private log cabins as well as three rooms in the main lodge. A 1:1 staff-to-guest ratio is just one reason that there is a 50% return rate among first-time guests and a large number of regulars who take advantage of the “10th stay free” incentive. After settling into our two-story, two-bedroom “Big Agnes” cabin (named after a local mountain peak), comfortably outfitted with a wood burning iron stove; a large spa-like bathroom with two-person shower and locally-made toiletries; a kitchenette stocked with snacks, drinks, beer and wine; and, a mix of antique and rustic furnishings (some of which were built from ranch wood by the ranch’s director of maintenance), we headed back to the lodge to plot out our schedule for the week with the affable Activities Coordinator. During the winter season, available activities include crosscountry skiing (track, backcountry, skate), snowshoeing, horseback riding and horsemanship clinics, sleigh rides, sledding, photography workshop, yoga and Pilates classes, cooking classes, wine and beer tastings, and fat tire biking. Snowmobiling in the National Forest, dog sledding, ice fishing and downhill skiing excursions in Steamboat Springs are available for an additional fee. In warmer months hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, rock climbing, paddle boarding and rafting are also offered in addition to horse-related pursuits.

After some negotiation, we settled on sledding, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, working the horse feed sled one afternoon and watching a horse training session in the covered arena. Sledding was not the exhausting zip down the hill and then trudge back up experience you likely remember from childhood; once you’ve finished zooming down the groomed track, a snowmobile pulls you and your sled back up to the top. We quickly learned that activities are a great way to meet your fellow guests at the ranch; in this instance, we had great fun coming up with various tube configurations in an attempt to maximize speed with a young couple from New Orleans who were on their honeymoon. Our two-hour snowmobile excursion took us deep into the National Forest; Vista Verde staff groom approximately 34-miles of trails in the forest. The route included corkscrew turns, plenty of ascending and descending, sweeping views of the Continental Divide and ample time to satisfy our need for speed in a large, flat bowl at the base of a super-steep hill, the powerful ascent of which was the highlight of the outing for me. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing take place on Vista Verde property and in the surrounding National Forest. I’m a novice downhill skier on my best day, but thanks to fine coaching from our instructor Emily Erickson, I became quite comfortable on our backcountry cross-country ski tour in no time. After settling into a steady cadence, gliding across the powdery snow deep in the quiet of the forest was certainly a restorative experience, even with a few minor tumbles here and there. Our turn on the horse feed sled coincided with the snowiest day of our visit, and a light dusting of powder settled on the hindquarters of the massive Percheron pair tasked with pulling a sled laden with more than 2,500 pounds of hay that we helped to distribute around the pasture. Hawaii native Kaulana “KP” Na’au
Ali’I Papalimu works as head horse trainer and farrier. His horse clinics provide fascinating insight into the years of training (and boundless patience) necessary to get a colt ready to accept riders. Thrice daily we descended on the lodge for meals, either fueling up for a full day or ravenously refueling after a round of vigorous activities. Striking the right balance between haute and hearty, Vista Verde’s take on “cowboy cuisine” includes both made-to-order and buffet-style dining. The kitchen is very accommodating to those with special dietary needs, offering the same attention to quality, choice and taste as those without restrictions. While some opted for a simple fruit and yogurt breakfast, others (including me) chose to be more indulgent with specials such as blueberry cornmeal pancakes with a generous side of Applewood smoked bacon. At dinner, we enjoyed everything from perfectly prepared beef tenderloin to local elk and grilled salmon. Each evening a “happy half-hour” precedes dinner and allows guests time to converse with one another and members of the staff. With limited Wi-Fi access and no televisions in the cabins or guest rooms, evening activities are mostly low-key, with the exception of a weekly barn dance and a musical performance by the very talented staff band, led by General Manager Ben Martin (who does a very good rendition of Johnny Cash) in the lodge. To be honest, after a busy day chock-full of new experiences, simply settling into the hot tub on the deck of our cabin and pondering how the ethereal, airy flakes gently descending from the heavens could accumulate to such great heights was an ideal end to a string of powder perfect days. Rates at Vista Verde Guest Ranch from $1,375/person for three nights in a cabin in winter to $4,095/person for seven nights in a cabin in the summer.

JUST IN TIME
Less than one second separated first and second place in the Prototype class at the 2017 Rolex 24 at Daytona Written by Andre James Twenty-four hours after Hurley Haywood, five-time winner of the Rolex 24 at Daytona, waved the green flag at 2:30 local time on Saturday, January 28, to officially mark the start of America’s famous race, the No. 10 Konica Minolta Cadillac Dpi-V R took the checkered one. The team, consisting of Ricky Taylor, Jordan Taylor, Max Angelelli and NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, completed 659 laps of the famed 3.56-mile circuit that is the Daytona International Speedway. Their efforts garnered the team the Rolex 24 at Daytona trophy and a specially engraved Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona wristwatch. Fifty-five cars lined up at the start; 41 of those made it to the finish. Following the win, Ricky Taylor commented, “After an intense race in tough conditions, it is such a relief to stand in Victory Lane as winners of ‘The Rolex.’ We take part in this race with the dream of winning the 24-hour marathon but also of one day putting a Rolex Daytona on our wrists. It really is the ultimate reward in motor sport and a reminder of our success. I’m very proud to be added to the accomplished list of Rolex 24 at Daytona winners." The early favorite, #31 Whelen Engineering Racing Cadillac Prototype, set the pace early on, followed closely by the #10 and #5 from Mustang Sampling Racing, before suffering steering issues in the eighth hour. At nightfall, a combination of cold and rain made track conditions treacherous and demanded utmost concentration from the teams. Extreme conditions persisted into the early hours of Sunday morning, and two extended hour-long safety car periods underscored the true attritional nature of this test of endurance. With three hours remaining, and the track finally dry, the 54 slmag.net
Prototype (P) and GT Le Mans (GTLM) winners were far from decided with multiple cars on the lead lap. Counting down the final minutes on the Rolex clock, the Prototype race went down to the wire with a thrilling battle between the leading Cadillacs; ultimately the #10 took the lead from the #5 with a legal and robust move into turn one with only moments to go. Throughout the 24 hours, the #10 successfully answered everything its rivals, nature and time could test it with and deservingly took the checkered flag by only 0.671 seconds from its sister car. #66 Ford Chip Ganassi Racing secured the win in a very competitive GT Le Mans class, having battled until the closing minutes of the race with the second place #911 Porsche GT Team holding off #62 Risi Competizione. #38 Performance Tech Motorsports won the Prototype Challenge (PC) title, and #28 Alegra Motorsports took the GT Daytona (GTD) class. Rolex’s connection to Daytona hearkens back to an even earlier time when Daytona Beach was considered the capital of land speed records in the early 20th century. The long, flat and very firm Daytona Beach played host to 14 land speed records in the early part of the 20th century – five of which were set by Sir Malcolm Campbell, including the fastest official record there of 276mph in 1935 at the wheel of his mighty Bluebird. In 1992 Rolex formalized this long-standing association with Daytona, and the Speedway becoming the Official Timepiece and Title Sponsor of the 24-hour Daytona classic, further strengthening the link between the race and the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona watch. After 25 years, the brand is now so closely tied to the event that motor sport aficionados simply refer to it as “The Rolex.” sl

A partnership between French house of high-jewelry Boucheron and MB&F resulted in JwlryMachine, an astonishing haute-joaillerie version of MB&F’s Horological Machine No 3 (HM3). The artisans at Boucheron have conceived the watch as a splendid three-dimensional jeweled owl, presented either in 18k white gold with amethyst, diamonds and blue and violet sapphires (shown here), or in 18k red gold with pink tourmaline, rose quartz, diamonds and pink sapphires. The "engine" of the watch is comprised of 305 separate parts working to tolerances of a micron; the 22-karat rose gold “mystery” rotor appears to defy the laws of physics in being visually symmetrical instead of more obviously offcentered. Made to order (price upon request; mbandf.com).
The Jean Dunand Tourbillon Orbital features a one-minute flying tourbillon that orbits the dial once every hour on a revolving movement. An innovative powerreserve indicator in the case-band features a window at 3 o’clock with a vertical needle that moves between F (full) and E (empty). The watch provides a full view of the movement and displays the phases of the moon on the case-back. Shown in Chinese lacquer (price upon request; jeandunand.com).

No strangers to the area (Janet is an experienced rider and has participated in the local hunt for many years), the Kafoures had their eye on the property for quite a while. “My family and the original owners of the home have a relationship that goes back generations,” Frank explained. “For 20 years, Janet and I had driven past the house, imagining what it would be like to live there. Once it hit the market, we looked at it, and the next day, made an offer.” Interior designer Linda Mordoh of Savvy Decor, who worked with the Kafoures on previous projects, recalls her initial reaction after learning of her friends’ acquisition. 70 slmag.net
“When Janet called to tell me they had bought a new house, I was so excited because I knew this would be the kind of project an interior designer dreams of,” Mordoh said. “The house and property are unbelievable, and Janet has an eye for design, making her a joy to work with.” The respect is mutual. “Sometimes you work with a designer and it becomes their work,” Janet said. “Here, I wanted my personality to come through, which is why I worked with the people I knew and trusted.” The Kafoures love to entertain, making the kitchen the most logical starting point for the renovation. “The home the first owners had built was beautiful; it worked for them, but it didn’t quite work for us,” Janet observed. “The only thing we wanted to make sure when we bought the home was whether we could open up the wall from the kitchen to the dining room, as we wanted a more open look. The engineers said we could, so we went ahead.”

Joe and Mark Gradison of Gradison Building Corp. oversaw the renovations. Early in the demolition process, the builders uncovered the original designs of the house hidden inside a wall, as well as meticulous details about everything the original homeowners selected and purchased down to an inventory of nails and screws. “We found a treasure trove of information,” Janet said. “From that moment on, we knew we wanted to keep the heart and soul of the home intact, so we began a restoration as well as a remodel.” With that goal in mind, all the original molding and floors in the kitchen have been preserved, with new crown molding made to match. Janet’s grandfather was a sheet metal fabricator in Fort Wayne who happened to be arrested during Prohibition for manufacturing illicit stills; she insisted on creating a kitchen hood from sheet metal in his memory. Masterminded by Kristin Okeley of Kitchens By 72 slmag.net
Design, the piece is one of several bold and unique distinguishing features. Okeley also designed the bathrooms, in addition to a massive kitchen island countertop cast from concrete by Todd Ketchum of Victory Surfaces. The effect crackles slightly over time to acquire a subtle patina as it ages. In Mordoh’s opinion, the master bathroom is the real jewel of the home. “From the honed Staturetto marble and Moroccan floor tile to the Venetian glass mirrors, it is an example of how stunning a room can be when you mix textures and styles,” she said. Frank also got involved in the process, putting his professional experience selling hydraulic hose and fittings at J&F Distributing Company to creative use by building an unusual bathroom vanity out of pipes in his son Connor’s upstairs suite, a pet project inspired by a photo Janet saw on Pinterest.

No ground floor tour would be complete without a cup of tea in the stunning conservatory that overlooks the landscaped garden to the rear of the home. Custom-made in England, shipped over in pieces and reassembled on site, the room defines country elegance. “The conservatory is my favorite room,” Janet admitted. “I love all the natural light that comes through during the day, and in the evening, it’s really cool to look up and see the stars twinkling overhead.” Created by Jeff Butz of Landscapes Unlimited, the beautifully proportioned rear garden with pool and paved walkways perfectly complements the home’s classical French formality. Carol Golden
and David Strohmeyer of the Empty Vase get credit for the outdoor seating and planters. “Jeff took my ideas and created a design that was beyond what I could ever have imagined,” Janet said. “We took a chance on the green roof for the pool house, but we really trust Jeff, so we went with it. People either love it or they don’t. Even when it’s muggy and a hundred degrees outside, you’d be surprised how cool it stays under the roof.” Stately yet surprisingly intimate, this home combines the best elements of traditional European design with modern convenience, a perfect environment for large gatherings or small family get-togethers. Beautifully renovated, I doubt it will need another makeover for many decades to come. sl

FUN FARE Written by Amy Lynch
Photography by Kelley Jordan
Tinker Street co-owners Peter George and Thomas Main are writing their own recipe for success. Get your hands on a small, unassuming cinderblock property. Mix in fantastic food and drink, design-driven décor, a hospitality dream team and, in Festiva’s case, a dash of serendipity. Both seasoned veterans within the Indianapolis restaurant scene, the duo’s latest destination-dining endeavor came together much quicker and more smoothly than either could have anticipated. “We were poised to make a move with another restaurant, we just didn't know it was going to be a Mexican restaurant,” George said. In fact, George and Main were actually trying to get a new Italian eatery off the ground, but kept hitting roadblocks. Then the perfect storm happened. They’d looked at the former BBQ/soul food spot on 16th Street just east of the Monon Trail back before they’d even closed on Tinker Street and liked it, but a deal never came to fruition. Fast forward to fall 2016. A chance encounter with a local contact led to a three-way liquor license, and one last attempt to reach out to the property owners paid off. Within a 24-hour period, Festiva had gone from idea to opportunity. The party officially started Dec. 17. With new businesses arriving and a wave of residential development swelling in the emerging Kennedy-King neighborhood, the timing couldn’t have been better.

Festiva is quickly finding its legs. Tinker Street fans will feel right at home in the same set-up of intimate dining room, social bar and heated enclosed patio (serapes draped over the chairs are a fun, thoughtful detail). George gets credit for the vibrant design and sunny, al fresco-feeling color schemes inside and out. Patterned blue/green concrete walls in the dining room give off a subtle pool party vibe. “In keeping with the name, we wanted the feeling of a celebration,” Main said. “It’s just a festive kind of place!” Don’t expect to load up on any old run-of-the-mill chips and salsa after you’ve taken your seat. A mini cast-iron skillet of chicharrones greets guests with crunchy bites of puffed wheat and crispy garbanzos that hint at spice, lime and hot sauce. Addictive, adorable and a perfect complement to any of the three margaritas on offer — the house blend, a top-shelf option and a seasonal variation. (Festiva also serves beer, wine and sangria.) Local mixology master Jason Foust has built Festiva’s beverage program, as one might expect, on the cornerstones of tequila and mezcal. “We wanted to hone in on classic Mexican cocktails and put our own twist on them,” he said. “There’s so much rich tradition and heritage behind agave spirits, and so much to learn about them.” The Margarita Estacional makes a lovely first impression, an easysipping floral potion of Camarena Blanco tequila, fresh blood orange juice, habanero and hibiscus. Among a shortlist of craft cocktails, Foust touts the “Urban Sombrero” — mezcal with cucumber, serrano, corn, lime and aromatic cilantro oil; and the “Champurrado,” a smooth yet fiery combination of Patron Incendio, cinnamon, milk and chocolate liqueur.

Having known and worked with executive chef Rachel Hoover for more than a decade, George and Main felt completely comfortable giving her plenty of autonomy in putting together the menu for Festiva. “It’s basically all of my favorite dishes,” she said. “Some are traditional, some aren’t. I wanted us to be able to grow in a modern direction while still remaining true to the classic recipes.” Hoover fell in love with Mexican cuisine while attending the New England Culinary Institute, and later with her husband of 15 years, Victor Deleon, a fellow chef and native of Puebla, Mexico. Her mother-in-law’s authentic home cooking informs many of the dishes that have found their way into Hoover’s Festiva repertoire. The guacamole, unquestionably one of the prettiest preparations in town, incorporates lacy julienned jicama, pomegranate seeds and pepitas for texture, as well as fresh cilantro and paper-thin slices of serrano. Citrus mango salad is a visually arresting plate of sliced fruit, and the perfect antidote to kicky costillas, flavorful braised pork ribs with a sting of chili de arbol oil and chipotle crema. A rich, brothy soup-stew redolent of spice and chiles, the pozole showcases hominy and meaty bites of chicken; Mexican comfort food at its finest.

Intended for sharing and ready for garnishing from a DIY selection of adornments, the deconstructed tacos come five to an order, filled with meltingly tender spit-roasted pork, sweet potatoes and kale, pulled chicken, grilled sea bass or braised Indiana goat. Adventurous eaters would be welladvised to order the Spanish baby octopus whenever it’s available. For dessert, the flan is a work of art on a plate, sauced with a fragrant caramel syrup and garnished with kumquats and an edible pansy. Another sweet touch — guests are likely to see George and Main working their way around the room on any given night, greeting old friends and making new ones. “We love creating small energy-filled restaurants,” Main said. “We can’t be all things to everybody, and we don’t want to be. We just want to deliver real flavor and real quality every time.” Ole. sl Located at 1217 E. 16th St., Festiva is open for dinner Monday through Saturday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and on Sundays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, call 317.635.4444 or visit festivaindy.com.

Living La Vida Boca Waterstone Resort & Marina, Boca Raton, FL Written by Jeffrey Cohen
With its soaring white façade basking in the sultry Florida sunshine, the Waterstone Resort & Marina, part of Hilton’s Curio Collection, shines like a beacon on the sparkling waters of the Intracoastal Waterway and the shores of Lake Boca in Boca Raton. When I was studying for my degree at nearby Florida Atlantic University in the early 1980s, my parents would visit and treat me and my best friend, Fred Bonardi, to the lavish Sunday brunch at what was the resort’s previous incarnation, the Bridge Hotel. Back then, the “Bridge” was cool in a see-and-be-seen way. Today, a showy 270-foot promenade, terraced pool and vibrant indoor-outdoor restaurants take center stage, further elevating the cache of this first-class resort. Infused with high-end teak and chrome finishes, custom furnishings and carefully chosen art, the lobby immediately sets the tone for escapes that are luxurious without being ostentatious. A complimentary champagne reception each evening continues the grand first impression. Among a staff well-versed in Southern hospitality, Charles “Chaz” Thomas especially endeared himself to me and my wife, Jen. A statuesque fellow who speaks with a 100 slmag.net
distinctive, resonant basso profundo, Chaz takes the art of gentle persuasion to a whole new level. When another couple was on the fence about whether or not to indulge in a glass of bubbly before dinner, Chaz reassured them, informing: “I have ‘if you change your mind’ champagne. Don't worry about it; come back later!” Decorated in a fresh white palette with appropriate accent shades of sea and sky, our waterfront suite boasted spectacular views of the ocean and the inlet. “At Your Service” request buttons ensured we lacked for nothing during our stay from the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out. On the first morning of our visit, Jen and I borrowed bikes from the hotel’s fleet to cruise the couple of blocks to the beach, then over to the upscale Mizner Park shopping center before heading back for lunch at the property's poolside Waterstone Bar & Grill. We especially enjoyed the kosher salt-dusted chips and guacamole, and the oyster po’ boy was the best I’ve had this side of my hometown New Orleans. A hammock next to the water welcomes naps should the food, drinks and sun prove a little too soporific.

Dinner that night at the resort’s upscale Boca Landing upped the ante with a few surprises on the menu. Brothy West Coast-style cioppino isn’t something you would normally expect to find in Florida, but chef Matt Mixon’s version is definitely worth sampling. Brimming with shellfish, this classic dish is fabulously evocative of the life aquatic. Equally accomplished, albeit a touch simpler, were the filet and the evening’s special — a perfectly seared strip steak in anchovy butter. I’m a devoted fan of the notoriously salty fish while Jen is an avowed carnivore, so our highly attentive server had me at “anchovy” and my wife at “steak.” All in all, flavors made in heaven. The paella, the best in Boca as we were reliably informed, is on our radar for a return trip. Nightcaps next to a crackling outdoor fireplace ended our already pitch-perfect meal on a even higher note. Waterstone’s enviable location lends itself nicely to explorations of nearby Palm Beach’s tony Worth Avenue. An architectural walking tour led by inimitable historian Rick Rose is the perfect way to discover the lay of the land before embarking upon a spree through designer shops, boutiques and galleries. Jen and I punctuated our
excursion with a lunch of Caesar salad, pizza margherita and wine in the lovely courtyard at Bice Ristorante. Returning to the hotel, we discovered a significant aspect of the Waterstone’s allure — its full-fledged marina. Jen and I spent a very pleasant couple of hours steering a duffy boat around the lake; captains are available for those who perhaps don’t trust their own navigational skills. Although it was just the two of us this trip, we’d certainly feel comfortable bringing our kids next time, as the resort offers a wide range of children’s activities both on the water and off, as well as kids’ menus at its restaurants. Much has changed in the three decades since those Sunday brunches with my parents. I’m delighted to find that in the course of those intervening years, Waterstone has not only maintained its original high levels of comfort and service, but improved upon them. For most guests, I imagine Waterstone Resort & Marina represents the Florida dream: a sunny vacation in an elegant waterfront setting. For me, our visit was a pleasantly updated walk down memory lane. sl For more information about Waterstone Resort & Marina or to make reservations, call 561-368-9500 or visit waterstoneboca.com.
