Mother’s Day 2012
Every year for Mother’s Day, I surprise my wife with a picture I take of our children at Holliday Park. A week or so before the big day, my mother-in-law picks up the kids at school. We change them out of school clothes into ‘portrait garb,’ take the picture, then change back into school clothes. Even at their ages – four and six – they manage not to spill the beans. We’ve had some close calls. Tere was the year my wife forgot her purse in my car, and had to come pick it up. I just ‘happened’ to be close by, and suggested she meet me at the park to make the exchange. Grandma raced to move her car, then she and the kids hid in the bushes. Whew! My mother-in-law is always willing to help. It’s just part of who she is. In her ‘off duty’ hours, Debra Hutchison is a nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Riley Hospital for Children, where she’s worked for more than 36 years. It’s a job that demands extraordinarily high attention to the smallest details at all times. She absolutely loves it, ‘her babies’ and their families. While Deb and I have had our moments, I wouldn’t swap her for any mother-in-law living, dead, fact or fiction. And really, the term ‘in-law’ doesn’t do Deb justice. She’s always been like a mother to me, even more so in the six years since my own mom passed. Truth is, I can’t thank her enough. First, for giving me my best friend and beloved wife; then for being there so much for our children, who are absolutely crazy about their grandmother. Late last summer, at Grandma’s Lakehouse – not just Deb’s cottage in Michigan, but our kids’ favorite resort - I got up early one morning and there was Gram in her rocking chair, overlooking the lake. Next to her was my daughter in her own little rocking chair, the sight of their silhouettes priceless. I didn’t say a word; not wanting to intrude on an intergenerational moment the likes of which come all too seldom these days. Nine years ago I took Deb to dinner to tell her I was going to ask her daughter to marry me and was it OK. I surprised her, I guess, because she about choked on her potsticker. Tere was a frighteningly long pause between my question and her answer, and she had to push back from the table to give me her wry but unforgettable vote of confidence: “Are you sure there isn’t another girl for you?” Tose special moments with Deb over the years have helped me realize there’s not much in life worth getting upset over. I firmly believe the opposite side of that coin too: there’s plenty to get excited about. And I couldn’t wait to get to the park to meet Gram and the kids to take our annual Mother’s Day picture. It’s the best way I know to wish Happy Mother’s Day to my incredible mother-in-law, to my wonderful wife, and to Moms everywhere. It’s your day. Tanks for being you.

ANTIQUE SILVER
Written by Kirby Camm, Bittners
A Recession Tragedy A true tragedy is happening with antique silver today because of our current economic slump. Anything made from a precious metal has always been hoarded by the general public because of it monetary value. Tis is especially true with silver coins and antique silver pieces. Many fine pieces of antique silver are owned by people who are indifferent about the pieces they own, only keeping these pieces because of the monetary value of the silver. There’s little consideration given to the time period the pieces were made, their history, the maker of the piece, its nationality, or whether it is coin silver or sterling. Oftentimes these silver pieces have been passed down through the family, and the current owner has no interest in them as an antique. Tey only know that it is old and somewhat valuable because of the silver content. The recession, coupled with hard times for the average person, leaves antique silver pieces caught in the middle. With times being tough for a lot of people, television commercials telling everyone to send their silver or gold in for cash add to the antique silver tragedy. Not to mention silver being bought by investors – as a hedge against inflation – has driven the price of silver up dramatically, making it much more enticing to sell your antique silver. Tis is just like money in the bank for someone who needs a little cash. As an aside, I asked a friend of mine, who had a good collection of antique silver, for an interesting piece as illustration for this month’s article. He informed me he needed cash and had sold his whole collection of silver to a refiner. Tere is no telling how many pieces of antique silver have been sold for only their silver content, with no consideration placed on the beauty or historical aspects of the silver piece being melted down. What is also infuriating about this issue is the wonderment of how many antique silver pieces made by known silversmiths have been lost. Sadly I have no solutions for this subject. On a lighter note, I have three interesting narratives about antique silver. All of Queen Elizabeth’s silver is vermeil silver, or gilded silver, which is silver covered with a thin layer of gold, better known today as gold-plated. Te Queen’s silver is gilded
not because of her being royalty, but because she owns so much silver it would be impossible to keep all of it polished. For those planning to polish their silver mint julep cups for the upcoming Kentucky Derby, please beware. Te term julep cup is now an antique term not used by people who collect antique silver. The correct term nowadays is silver beaker. Beaker sounds a little too clinical to me, and being a romantic at heart, a beaker should be reserved for the research laboratory and not for your mint julep. My last anecdote brings gravitas about fine antique silver coming out of the woodwork. Years ago, I visited an antique dealer friend in his shop. As soon as I entered the shop, he said, “Come back to my office. I want to show you something from an estate in Bowling Green (Kentucky).” I was shown six silver tablespoons, which had seen hard times. Te silver tablespoons were thin, showing a tremendous amount of wear and had a few dents. As I looked at the spoons, I asked about the hallmark. My antique dealer friend smiled after telling me they were made by Paul Revere the patriot! sl

Watch Hill Phoenix
Visionary new ownership resurrects a beloved East Coast icon Written by Bridget Williams A lingering Indian summer that extended August temperatures to mid-October caused a crush of shoppers to descend upon sale racks of swimsuits picked bare in the few shops that remained opened past high season in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. I was among the throngs, as I left my suit at home, never dreaming at this time of year the temperature would be warm enough to lure me into the cool Atlantic in search of perfectly shaped stones to skip across the gentle waves. With the Ocean House as our backdrop – its sunny yellow façade an exclamation point to its hillside prominence near the apex of Watch Hill (affording sweeping sea and bay views) – we squeezed every last drop out of the summer that remained, knowing this weekend would likely be the last we would spend in swimsuits for a while.

At the far end of a lobby is a a stacked stone fireplace that was first erected in the late 1800s and methodically replaced piece by piece in the new hotel.
Located in an enclave of estate-sized homes – the kind whose weathered shingle exteriors are what springs to mind when one pictures the New England coast – the Ocean House has been drawing visitor’s to the area since 1868. During the Victorian era, boats laden with steamer trunks would transport well-heeled families to the peninsula for their annual summer sojourn. Notable past seasonal residents of the area included William Proctor of Proctor & Gamble, Mr. and Mrs. Walbridge Taft (the nephew of President William Howard Taft) and William Howard Doane, an accomplished musician and one of Cincinnati's most prominent manufacturers of woodworking and metalworking machinery in the late 1800s. By 2000 the hotel was in a sad state, with only one-third of its original 159 rooms safe for use and a potential new owner floating plans to demolish the decrepit landmark and carve the property into choice oceanfront building lots. Te community rallied and a new owner (a long-time summer resident) came forward to save the day. In 2004, when engineering studies evidenced that the property’s support structure was deemed unsalvageable, the current owner made the bold decision to rebuild, rather than restore. Te $147-million project, which encompassed five years of construction, saw to it that all of the 36 slmag.net
resort’s 247 windows remained in their original positions and more than 5,000 salvageable artifacts and furnishing elements lovingly harvested from the original structure’s historic interiors were incorporated into the reborn resort. Pulling up to the base of the half-circle portico after our 45-minute commute from the airport in Providence, we were greeted by an army of attendants. Standing at the front desk – complete with old-fashioned key cubbies (among the salvaged pieces) – I had to be reminded once again that the hotel was newly built. Further into the lobby our porter pointed out an important touchstone of the renovation – a stacked stone fireplace first erected in the late 1800s and the site of countless family photos and marriage proposals. Several times throughout our stay I noted a couple or family gathered around the hearth and remarking on how it had been carefully reassembled just as they fondly remembered from year’s past. A continual hub of activity, the inviting lobby blends comfortable furnishings in British Colonial and early American styles with a palette of subdued shades of yellow, blue, turquoise and cream. Punctuating the seaside chic setting is a rotating collection of museum-quality artwork.

Te Club Lounge is an intimate dining venue open only to Ocean House residents and hotel guests.
Situated on the periphery of quiet corridors, each of the 49 guest rooms boasts a residential style feel. Our tworoom, tall-ceilinged suite included a foyer with a coffee/tea bar and complimentary drinks and treats that were refreshed daily (the malted milk balls were our favorite). In the living room, a sofa bed, desk and pair of comfortable armchairs were oriented around a stacked stone fireplace. Displayed on the coffee and side tables were a selection of books detailing the history of the area, local flora, fauna and wildlife, as well as a pair of binoculars to put our newly acquired naturalist skills to the test. Also reflecting the rich history of the area was an assortment of framed sepia-colored photographs dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Te king-sized bed was dressed with a cloudlike comforter and Frette linens. Different treats or a trinket – chocolate truffles, a lavender sachet, après sun spray from the OH! Spa – were found on the pillow each night. Modern met traditional in the spacious bath with an extra-deep soaking tub, a shower with subway-tiled walls and pebble tiled-floor, and Molton Brown toiletries. Food is a focal point at the Ocean House, with farmto-table interpretations of New England favorites serving as 38 slmag.net
hallmarks of the four on-site restaurants. Te hotel maintains a fulltime “Food Forager,” who serves as the daily liaison between the resort and local farms and vendors (80 percent of menu ingredients are sourced within a 150-mile radius) and heads the resort’s culinary education programming, including monthly Farm + Vine events, which highlight talented regional chefs in collaboration with a regional farm. During our early fall visit Te Verandah was the place to be. Reproductions of the originals that graced the space for generations, white wicker chairs on the croquet-court-facing south porch were perennially filled with hotels guests and locals dividing their attention between the Atlantic and the whiteclad croquet players (New York Croquet Club co-founder and Croquet Hall of Fame inductee Teddy Prentis serves as the resident professional). At one end of the porch was a large permanent raw bar with a charcoal soapstone top presenting the ocean’s bounty on ice. Te menu also includes a selection of specialty cocktails, appetizers, salads and sandwiches. Just beyond the dunes at the main access to the resort’s 650-foot private white sand beach is Dune Cottage, which operates as a seasonal beachside eatery for guests and members. Te gourmet grille menu offers treats such as gazpacho made

with local tomatoes, a lobster roll with crème fraîche dressing and tarragon snipped from the on-site herb garden, chopped salads and plenty of kid-friendly options to savor seaside whilst taking in the views of Block Island and Montauk. Another seasonal dining option is the Seaside Terrace, positioned near the indoor pool on the east side of the hotel and offering sweeping views of the ocean and the beautiful homes dotting the hillsides. Offerings include a daily ceviche, salads and other reimagined seaside staples, along with signature cocktails such as the Ocean House Colada made with coconut and vodka. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Seasons truly shines at dinner with a menu that is organized by source – Local Gardens, Nearby Waters, Farms, and Fields and Pastures – with each dish further expounded by a listing of ingredients, including the purveyor and preparation method(s). Executive Chef Eric Haugen and the culinary team operate from an open kitchen, with “Chef ’s Counter” seating offering a front row view of the action. After enjoying a multi-course dinner that tasted as good as it looked, we were presented with a jar of blended nectar honey from nearby Watch Hill Farms as a memento of our delightful meal.
Such delectable sustenance is in order to fuel participation in a vast array of activities both on and off-site. In addition to croquet, an on-site putting green, swimming in the 20-meter saltwater lap pool, beach activities like surfing boot camps and fishing charters, and the Farm + Vine program, there is the property’s full-service, 12,000-square-foot OH! Spa (short for Ocean Harvest) with seasonally inspired services and a fitness center with unique 24-hour virtual fitness instruction with a personal trainer, yoga and movement studio. Nearby is the Rees Jones-designed course at Lake of Isles, while tennis enthusiasts can practice their swing at the Pond View Racquet and Croquet Club just minutes from the resort. The Ocean House Yachting Collection, in cooperation with Vintage Yachting Club and the America’s Cup Fleet, offers guests the opportunity to charter a picnic boat, Neneteau Sloop, catboat or yacht from the Ocean House Fleet for adventures lasting from a half-day to a week. The quaint village of Watch Hill is a short downhill walk from the Ocean House. A historic lighthouse defines the skyline and the streets that parallel the bay and the Marian Coffin-designed harbor park are lined with an interesting array of boutiques, souvenir and antique shops, slmag.net

Aged Wines
Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier
It is a singular delight to enjoy a bottle of wine that is perfectly aged, a wine that has evolved into an experience. No ordinary quaffing wine but a wine that has an ethereal feel that is almost like a perfect moment in time. Tis is truly an excellent experience but a subjective one. Some oenophile’s prefer the flavors of un-aged wines, as they are different than those in aged wines, but when I can get a delicious example of a wine that is aged, it is truly heavenly. One of the keys to an aged wine is the structure. Part of a wine’s structure is tannin, and tannin is derived from, among other things, grape skins and wood ageing. Tannin is that astringent or bitter quality that can make a wine harsh and unyielding in its youth. A young age-worthy wine can also lack a certain amount of flavor as the tannin can seemingly hold flavor and aroma down. When the tannin fades away, flavors appear and take more of the center stage. Fruit and floral character seem to take off and provide more complexity, more nuances and elegance. Keep in mind not all wines can age, and it is better to drink a wine that is a little too young than too old. Te saying goes, after a decade there is no such thing as good wines but there is such a thing as good bottles. Good bottles are matured in excellent cellar conditions. What you need is a place that will remain cool; with a good humidity; no direct light, vibrations or off odors; and the ability to keep the bottles resting on their sides. Wine will age best at a
42 slmag.net
constant temperature. Large swings in temperatures (50 degrees one day and 70 degrees the next day) will harm wine, making it mature faster and allowing it to lose its delicate fruit qualities. While experts will say that 50 to 55°F is ideal for long-term storage, most of us are not storing wine for a decade, but if you are, your cool cellar conditions can allow a wine to mature slower. Humidity should be around 50 to 75°. While not as important as temperature, a dry cellar can make the corks contract and allow the wine to oxidize, whereas an overly humid cellar will cause the labels to mold or fall off. Direct light and vibration will negatively affect wine by prematurely ageing it, and off odors may seep into the wine adding the undesired odor to the wine. Wine racking should allow a wine to lie easily on its side; this keeps the wine in contact with the cork, preventing it from contracting and permitting the entrance of air. On a recent trip to the Tampa Bay area for my brother Brent’s wedding to the delightful Tania Westcott, we celebrated their impending nuptials at the legendary Bern’s Steak House. Bern’s is the perfect spot to drink aged wines, as they have the largest wine cellar in the world, and it is chalked full of aged wines. Te head Sommelier Brad Dixon promised some treasures for our group, and allowing him to use my cell phone when his would not work on our wine trip to Argentina surely would have a small reward. Our party of eight wine aficionados’ allowed us to sample several magnums (the equivalent of two bottles). Te
larger the bottle, typically the longer the wine will age. With most of our party of eight ordering Bern’s prime beef, aged red wine was the logical choice. Giving Mr. Dixon carte blanche with final but unnecessary approval had its benefits. We started with a Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France. No less then Gran Cru would do for this occasion, so he brought a magnum of Chateau Corton Grancey 1976. Chateau Corton Grancey is owned by the firm Louis Jadot and is located in the prestigious area of Corton in the Cotes De Beaune of Burgundy. Red wine losses color with age. Tis wine’s color was light red, but the wine was still fresh and flavorful, loaded with red cherry, light earth, and a nuance of French oak and baking spice. It had very light tannin but crisp, refreshing acidity. Te wine was vivacious without being forceful and flavorful without being full-bodied. The second magnum was a Chateauneuf Du Pape Dellas Freres 1961. I am an easy target for a quality Chateaunuef Du Pape. This Grenache based wine from the southern Rhône of France was more bodied then the Burgundy, with a slightly darker color, and the flavor of Kirshwasser, anise, leather with a rich spiciness of white pepper, smoke and faded rose. Te wine had light tannins and good weight to go with the beef, but one more bottle would be needed to finish the dinner. The last magnum would be a right bank Bordeaux from Saint Emilion, Chateau Soutard 1961. Merlot and Cabernet Franc are the main grapes of this region. This Bordeaux had
the fullest color, and for a wine of 51 years of age, it appeared youthful. It was medium-bodied with the flavors of cassis, herbs, plums and light oak, and it still had some light tannins that were well integrated along with a slight cigar box quality. If I were to have this wine blind, I would have guessed it to be half its age. My brother and I finished the meal with an ounce of Terrantez Barbeito Madeira 1834. Madeira is, without exception, the longest-lived wine in the world. The unique character of Madeira is that it undergoes a heating process for several months after fermentation. This practice evolved in the 18th century when it was noticed that wines that were shipped through the tropics improved markedly. Tis heating process combined with fortification, long barrel aging and high acidity account for its long age-ability and, even more unusual, its ability to remain drinkable for years once opened. Te wine was sweet and fullbodied with the taste of baked fruits, crystallized violets and baked nuts. Te wine was fresh, alive and penetrating, with a long persistent finish, in short – remarkable! I am ready to meet my brother and my sister-in-law at Bern’s again to enjoy the great pleasure of drinking aged wines! sl

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST High performance is married with high style in the new Bentley Continental GTC V8 Written by Bridget Williams The new Bentley Continental GTC V8 convertible made its official public debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The new 4.0-liter, twin turbocharged Continental GTC V8 and its coupe counterpart the Continental GT V8 achieve exceptional standards for power-to-emissions in the high luxury sports car sector. With an instantly recognizable growl, the new 4.0-litre V8 engine provides exhilarating performance and effortless power delivery in the Bentley tradition. A variable displacement with a highly sophisticated engine management system ensures a seamless and imperceptible transition from V8 to V4 mode under light throttle load. Combined with a new close-ratio eight-speed automatic transmission, this translates into a 0 to 60 mph sprint time of 4.7 seconds for the GTC and a top speed of 187 mph. At the same time, the new V8 Continental models achieve outstanding levels of fuel eďŹ&#x192;ciency and CO2 emissions for the luxury performance sector and are capable of travelling over 500 miles on a single tank of fuel. The new Continental GTC V8 model will be offered beneath the flagship 6.0-liter, 12-cylinder engine GTC, which continues to excite customers with a combination of silken reďŹ nement and the ultimate power of the twin-turbocharged W12 Continental engine that, in its most potent form, delivers an astonishing 631 bhp.

Both Continental V8 models feature a state-of-the-art, all-wheel drive system employing an advanced Torsen differential and a 40:60 rear biased power split. Tis ensures safe yet dynamic sports car handling in all road conditions. Complementing the potent power under the hood, both new Continental V8 models are distinguished by a muscular black gloss matrix grille with chrome frame and center bar, a red enamel Bentley “B” badge and a black matrix threesegment lower front bumper divided by distinctive body-colored strakes. At the rear, unique chromed “figure eight” exhaust tailpipes, a dark lower valance and red enamel “B” bootlid badge emphasize the sporty, contemporary identity of the new V8s. The new Continental V8 models can be specified with 20-inch alloy wheels as standard or an optional 21-inch six-spoke design, available in dramatic Diamond Black (exclusive to the Continental V8) or Diamond Silver finishes. Inside the cabin, an Eliade cloth headlining, new contemporary Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus veneers, optional two-tone leather color split and short centre console continue the fresh, sporting design theme. Since the launch of the original GT in 2003, the W12-engined Continental range has gone from strong to stronger with over 50,000 sales worldwide, making Bentley’s factory in Crewe, England, the largest producer of 12 cylinder engines in the world. The W12 story continues to unfold and remains the ultimate expression of Bentley’s engineering muscle. Commenting on the launch of the new V8 Continental models, Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman and chief executive, Bentley Motors, said: “With the new 4.0 liter V8 engine we are widening the appeal of the latest generation of Continentals, introducing a completely new driving experience. Te new engine has all the exhilarating power, drama and performance you would expect from a V8 engine sporting the famous Bentley wings, effortlessly delivered with our characteristic ‘wave of torque.’ Tis is complemented by innovative power train technology that delivers exceptional fuel efficiency and emissions.” sl

Bugatti and Ferrari take top honors at the Amelia Island Concours A 1938 Bugatti Type 57 and the 1962 Ferrari 330 LM took home the Best In Show honors on Sunday, March 11, 2012 at the 17th annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, which attracted about 23,000 spectators and 295 vehicles. The coveted Concours d’Elegance award went to a stunning 1938 Bugatti Type 57, owned by the Off Brothers Collection from Richland, Mich. One of only three surviving Aravis Drophead Coupes bodied by Gangloff, this green Type 57 arrived in the U.S. in 1961 and was fully restored in 2009.
Bugatti produced the Type 57 between 1934 and 1939, ceasing production of the world’s fastest stock production car shortly after the beginning of WWII. Te rare 1962 Ferrari 330 LM, or “3765” GTO, owned by Jim Jaeger from Indian Hill, Ohio took home the Concours de Sport award. Te 330 GTOs were Ferrari’s in-house hot rods: prototype Grand Touring cars with four-liter V-12 engines instead of the GTO’s traditional 3-liter V-12. Just two were built – a cross between a pure prototype and a road-going Grand Touring car. Assigned to Ferrari Engineer and racer Mike Parkes and factory F1 and sports car ace Lorenzo Bandini, Jim Jaeger’s 4-liter GTO appears as it did on June 23, 1962 when gridded seventh at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Te very best in classic car pageantry displays also included the 1964 Shelby Daytona Coupe that helped unseat Ferrari as World GT Champion and the sleek 1929 Duesenberg J-108 Convertible Coupe that played a role in the classic movie Te Gay Divorcee. Several other star cars were seen, including Rita Hayworth’s Ghia-bodied Cadillac, a Duesenberg once owned by

I congratulate the judges on their stunning choices.” Cars that graced the covers of Road & Track were on display, as were a selection of cars that won the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Tis year's Concours also celebrated the momentous 50th Anniversary of the Ferrari GTO, which was marked by a gathering of twelve impressive vehicles on the show field. Rally and road racing champion “Quick” Vic Elford served as the 2012 honoree, greeting attendees throughout the weekend. He also took part in the Great Endurance Drivers Seminar alongside other legendary drivers such as Sam Posey, Hurley
Haywood, Brian Redman, Jim Hall, Gerard Larrousse, Joe Buzzetta, David Hobbs, Vic Elford, and Derek Bell. Ferrari and Cobra fans were also treated to the unprecedented Cobra vs. Ferrari: the Battle for the World Championship for Sports Cars seminar on Friday, where Ferrari racing engineer Mauro Forghieri, Shelby Cobra Championship driver, Bob Bondurant, and Cobra Daytona Coupe designer Peter Brock, discussed one of motorsports’ most bitter rivalries. Some of the world’s most prominent corporate, public and private collections had displays at the event, including Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. BMW also held the North American Debut of its new 6 Series Gran Coupe four-door coupe during the weekend. Plans for the 18th annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance are already underway and the event is scheduled to be held on March 8-10, 2013 on the 10th and the 18th Fairways of the Golf Club Amelia Island at Summer Beach, adjacent to Te Ritz-Carlton. sl

Will Daniels, a young British artist, is a man of reserve and quiet nature, his genius is further exemplified in his oeuvre. With seven solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles and London since 2005, one would say his recognition has far surpassed his modest persona. Daniels’ process is thought-provoking, his method contemporary with roots in historical painting. Truly a painter of painters, Daniels commemorates historical artist like Durer, Goya, Delacroix and Cezanne. With recognizable images from art history, Daniels begins by creating a collage replica made of common household materials consisting of torn paper and cardboard. He then photographs this new piece as an aid to produce a highly detailed and meticulous small scale trompe l’oeil. To my bewilderment, he then discards the collage. The details of the collage are resonant within the painting showing ripped corners and frayed edges. Mimicking the materials, the simple palette of grey, white and brown, make it difficult to discern if the work is a still collage or a now painting, leaving the viewer to decide. The art historical reference remains but in distortion, it challenges the viewer to discover the historical imagery.
56 slmag.net
Daniels’ more recent work has matured, now creating a tin foil maquette with figures and still lives constructed in cardboard covered in tin paper, he uses lighting and the reflection of color from his personal space. Te same process as before, the new work has historical subject but colors and painterly skill has grown vastly. Burst of reds, blues, and greens creates a phenomenal dynamic in relation to white paint used as the light reflection of the foil. Will’s newer pieces have a more abstract appearance but maintain the realism from thorough rendering of his handmade sets. William Daniels was born in Brighton in 1976, he received a Master’s Degree from the Royal College of Art in London. His gallery representation is Luhring Augustine, New York, Marc Foxx, Los Angeles and Vilma Gold, London. His work is found in collections worldwide. His last solo show was in 2011 at Marc Foxx gallery. I look forward to what the next new body of work will reveal. sl

Small Crowd Intimacy In this house, it’s the kitchen that sets the tone Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung I’ve never seen a purely decorative cutting board before, but there’s a first time for everything. Tis particular cutting board, a very fine one indeed, but probably not made from an especially knife-friendly type of wood, takes pride of place at one end of the splendid rustic marble counter at the center of the equally splendid kitchen. At the opposite end, a generous extension to the island countertop provides ample seating: this is where family and friends congregate while tonight’s chef whips up a little something from her extensive culinary repertoire. “Te seating and lighting in this area is particularly important,” she explains, “as people tend to gravitate towards the kitchen more than anywhere else.” Intimate, yet capable of accommodating a small crowd, this kitchen sets the tone for the entire house.
Opposite Page: Tis space, designed for creating foods to rival the nectars of the Gods, is at once homey, handsome, and haute cuisine at its finest. It’s a gathering point for informal get togethers - exactly what the owners hoped it’d become.

There can be little question that anyone who enjoys cooking would love to spend a few hours in front of the professional stove. Above the range, rooster tiles adorn the backsplash, while Italianate stucco and embedded trelliswork combine to lend a suitably Tuscan feel to the proceedings, although the chef ’s preferred cuisine is French. The softly reflective work surfaces, dominated by roseate and sea foam marbles, are soothing under the gentle lighting. Combining style with function, this kitchen could serve as a template to anyone with a passion for cooking and entertaining. It’s easy to see why everyone gathers here, in spite of the fact that comfortable lounge furniture is only a few feet away. Open to the living room, the kitchen occupies a clearly defined space, and therein lies a key element of this home’s considerable charm. While open-plan design with its oft
times amorphous and arbitrary planning might continue to dominate contemporary homes, this house re-introduces a hint of an old-world aesthetic into its use of available space, one in which every room has its own purpose and its own identity. Strolling through the main floor, you get a strong sense of each room’s function and character, an impression reinforced by distinctive décor and color schemes. It’s not easy to pin down a specifically defining style; however, there’s an eclecticism here which embraces a wide range of interests. As our hostess explains, “I wanted to incorporate the best of our previous two homes, then did endless research. Finally I had to stop, despite the compulsion to keep looking around.” This fascination with a variety of styles and influences is reflected in the home’s multi-faceted design sensibilities, without seeming weighty or intellectually excessively challenging.
Opposite Page: Tis room’s inset nook, wainscoting, and recessed ceiling are here to set the stage for a dining experience worthy of the world’s finest chef. Despite its size, the room positively exudes intimacy and meaningful conversation. slmag.net

A space for billiards - and surely, pool - worthy of anyone carrying a cue stick and named “Fats!”
Working closely with interior designer Barry Lantz, the owners set out to build a unique home on two levels divided by a sweeping staircase, each level accessible from outside. Upstairs, just off the living room with its copper fireplace hood and unencumbered views over the neighboring golf course, an Italianate loggia, complete with outdoor fireplace and three distinct seating areas, offers intimate but ample space for small or large gatherings alike. Downstairs, bigger groups can easily be accommodated in the generous bar area with its Italian granite countertops and curiously serpentine sink. With a pool table and exercise room nearby, as well as a theater-worthy projection TV system and sauna, the downstairs area offers the ultimate in-home spa experience without the inconvenience of travel. Heating downstairs is provided by a built-in system which runs through the stained concrete floors, combining economy with simple elegance. Just off the main entertainment area, a vast multi-purpose space offers the man of the house plenty of room to practice his golf swing during the winter months. 78 slmag.net
Back up the staircase, the decor is dominated by glass artwork: the kind of glass that looks as it just stepped out of a Salvador Dali painting, floppy and molten, in a variety of striking hues and visual textures. Picking up on the theme of flowing glass, the sink in the entryway cloakroom was discovered in a shop in Fort Wayne, and was the last of its kind: a translucent pastel green creation which looks as if it was fashioned on the spot while still fresh from the oven. Te master bathroom offers a contrast in styles: old versus new, Mediterranean versus northern European. The spacious shower area is decked from floor to ceiling in a festive riot of blue and white tiles which remind one of nothing less than a trip to the Adriatic with its pristine sea and cloud-flecked skies. On the opposite side of the bathroom, a far more serious pewter-clad claw foot tub from Yugoslavia sports baroquely elaborate tap and shower fixtures from England. Both decorative and functional, this elegant bath perfectly expresses both the grandeur and the intimacy of this delightful house. sl

The proudly independent Late Harvest Kitchen offers a welcoming mix of timeless elegance and neighborhood charm in a locale dominated by chain eateries and department stores.

If the last recession shook up the luxury garden tool market, it seriously rocked the fine dining scene, forcing chefs and owners to figure out how to accomplish more for less. For Chef Ryan Nelson, himself a ten-year veteran of a celebrated multi-location seafood restaurant, the blow to white tablecloth dining signaled an opportunity to channel his ample talents into a more casual, relaxed style of establishment, while maintaining his welldeserved reputation for quality. As proof, Chef Ryan’s kitchen serves up a concise but diligently thoughtout menu, combining intellectually stimulating dishes with a selection of more familiar fare. It’s the kind of place where the chef and his wife-manager Laurie like diners to feel equally at ease in jeans or a suit while they explore the diversity of what has, in the space of a few months, become recognized as one of the most exciting menus in town. Late Harvest Kitchen focuses on the freshest of ingredients served at the peak of ripeness. Although this may be something of a challenge during Indiana’s winter months, for much of the year Chef Ryan is able to source top-notch meat and produce from local farmers, including pork and grass-fed beef from Fisher Farms in Jasper. Fresh seafood, a scarcity in the landlocked Midwest, is acquired through Nelson’s longtime contacts with certified and sustainable fisheries around the world, ensuring that the fish is both top-notch tasting and ecologically sound.

The past few years have seen a fundamental shift in the way many of us perceive our daily food, spearheaded by an enterprising core of artisan producers and a wealth of farmers’ markets, and Late Harvest is a testament to Chef Ryan’s impeccable culinary skills and market timing. Late Harvest, with its emphasis on fresh and local, takes that fledgling movement a little further down the path towards nose-to-tail eating, a concept which, while long-established in Europe and on the coasts, is just beginning to gain some traction here. As chefs and diners are becoming more aware of humane animal husbandry and the true value of our food resources, restaurants like Late Harvest are offering a greater diversity of cuts in order to make better use of the whole beast. Here, a typical menu might include meltingly tender pork cheeks, Spanish-inspired salt cod brandade, succulent pork belly or crispy duck legs, dishes produced from the parts of animals that, until quite recently, many diners wouldn’t have considered especially worthy of a restaurant table.

For those less comfortable with eating piggy bits and esoteric cuts, Late Harvest makes sure to offer more traditional fare, such as steaks and a pork chop, which is still, incidentally, the best seller. But it’s the less common dishes that hold the real appeal for Nelson. While pig cheeks might not be a daily part of our diets, he explains that “we’re located in a great dining area, and I want to set ourselves apart from the chains. We could probably make more money appealing to the lowest common denominator, but it’s our responsibility to elevate the whole experience.” To help him sell the experience to his diners, Chef Ryan relies on Laurie and an expert staff, many of whom followed him from his former establishment. “My staff is vital when it comes to bridging the gap between the kitchen and the diner,” he added. “Especially with the more ‘out-there’ items on the menu.” Although many menu items will change with the seasons, or according to availability, some dishes are destined to become permanent fixtures. Close to the top of the list has to be a delicious take on the classic sticky toffee pudding, a dessert which holds special significance for the Nelsons, who first tasted it at the Calypso Grill while honeymooning in Grand Cayman. Te caviar pie, a unique savory preparation, will probably join it. About to enter its first summer, Late Harvest just opened an elegant patio, complete with a wisteria-shaded arbor, courtesy of the former occupant. “We must be crazy, taking on another forty covers,” says Nelson, but you can tell he’s up for the challenge. “Doing this, and working with my family, it’s a dream come true,” he continues. “We couldn’t be happier.” sl

PINK PAJAMA PARTY
I.W.I.N. Foundation hosted its 8th Annual Pink Pajama Party Sponsored by Vera Bradley on February 24th – 25th, 2012 at the Indianapolis Marriott North/Keystone at the Crossing. In order to provide Indiana women with the customized personal support they need to endure breast cancer treatment, I.W.I.N. Foundation relies on the Pink Pajama Party as its major fundraiser with all proceeds benefitting I.W.I.N. Foundation. Tis year, over $56,000 was raised and close to 300 women danced the night away, enjoyed spa services and pink cocktails in their favorite pink pajamas. Women undergoing breast cancer treatment use the funds for help with transportation to and from doctors’ appointments, child care, house cleaning, yoga, etc. Because of I.W.I.N. Foundation, their burden is lessened during a very difficult time in their life.
