From the Editor-In-Chief
We’ve all heard the familiar expression about a bull in a china shop, but what about 30 dogs in one? Tat’s often the scene at Replacements Ltd., a Greensboro, NC business with 550 employees that is the world's largest supplier of old and new china, crystal, silver, and collectibles. According to their website, they have an inventory of 13 million pieces, some more than a century old. It would seem that mixing canines and china would be a recipe for disaster, but a study conducted at the company and published last year in the International Journal of Workplace Health Management evidenced that dogs in the workplace can signifcantly bufer the impact of stress for their owners as well as others with whom they come into contact during the day. Replacements is just one of a growing number of pet friendly businesses. Google’s Code of Conduct states: "Google's afection for our canine friends is an integral facet of our corporate culture. We like cats, but we're a dog company, so as a general rule we feel cats visiting our ofces would be fairly stressed out." Employees of P&G's Pet Care division in the Cincinnati area are welcome to bring their dogs to work every day. At the Build-A Bear Workshop headquarters in St. Louis there’s a chief executive dog that gets to celebrate his birthday each year in the company of the other ofce dogs. As a dog person from birth, I love being greeted by Stoli at Digs in Hyde Park, by Willie at the Pink Julep in Louisville, and Huckelberry at Longwood Antique Woods in Lexington, among others. As long as proper manners and hygiene are enforced, it’s hard to argue with the positive energy stirred up by a wagging tail. At home and at the ofce, my three canine companions – Rocco, Bentley and Sarah Ferguson – are always underfoot or, in Sarah Ferguson’s case, sound asleep and snoring in my lap. Tough not complete angels - there’s been the occasional important call interrupted by Bentley’s impromptu barking or a window-rattling chorus of snoring only rotund pugs can produce– for the most part I relish in their calming presence. As someone who has a tendency to work well outside an eight-hour workday, I welcome their persistence in reminding me to push back from my desk and stop and smell the roses by taking a walk outside and playing a round or two of fetch. Photographer, writer, and television personality Roger Caras (1928-2001) summed up my feelings on the subject best when he wrote, “Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.”

Margaux, Bordeaux
Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier
Te best wines of Bordeaux, France were classifed in 1855. Tis classification still stands today with a total of 61 Châteaux classifed First through Fifth Growth. While the fve First Growth Châteaux are generally considered the best within the classifcation, it should never be assumed that the rest are second, third, fourth or ffth best. Most of the classifed wines are considered some of the fnest wines in Bordeaux if not the world. Te wine region of Bordeaux is divided into the Left Bank and the Right Bank, so said because the Gironde River efectively cuts it in two. Te Medoc is on the left Bank. Within the Medoc or more specifically the Haut-Medoc are many of the most legendary regions of Bordeaux. My favorite region may very well be Margaux, so much so that my wife and I named our female Golden Retriever Margaux. Remarkably, the area of Margaux holds the most classified growths with 21, three more than Pauillac, the second highest. The region of Margaux is spread throughout five villages: Soussans, Margaux, Cantenac, Labarde and Arsac. Theses five villages grow six diferent red wine grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carmenère. With the majority of the blends comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, it is surprising to many that Merlot makes up copious amounts, followed by the secondary grapes Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, and the rarely used if at all tertiary Malbec and Carmenère. Each Margaux estate blends these grapes diferently according to the vintage to help produce their own style. Te most important and iconic estate is the eponymous Château Margaux. A mere picture of the Château conjures up the greatness of the wine. It is the only First Growth in Margaux and certainly the most age worthy and expensive. Although I have enjoyed Château Margaux on several occasions, I tend to focus on others such as Second Growth Château Rauzan-Segla, Tird Growth Château Malescot St. Exupery and Fourth Growth Château Pierre –Lichine. All of these wines are superb examples of the style of Margaux, which is generally considered the most feminine of all of the Classifed Growths; this is not to say it is a light wine, but a more opulent, softer wine of fnesse. The wines of Margaux summon to my mind the exact foodstufs to have with them and the exact restaurant: roasted meats at the restaurant La Tupina (latupina.com), located in the town of Bordeaux. It is famous for its open freplace and rustic old world charm. Te large freplace is used to prepare delicious roasted meats such as lamb, a particular favorite of mine with Margaux. I’d highly recommend a visit should you fnd yourself in Bordeaux. sl
SUGGESTED MARGAUX WINES Grape percentages vary each year, so I noted them in the order from greatest to least in the blend. Also, depending on the vintage, the barrel ageing will vary hence they are approximations. Enjoy these wines after decanting to aerate and open the wines up or wait for a decade in the fnest years. Great recent vintages to look for are 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010. Château Rauzan-Segla (Second Growth) Owned by the Wertheimer family of Chanel fame since 1994, the 120-acres of vines are located in the village of Margaux. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Aged 18 to 20 months in 60% new oak (rauzan-segla.com). Château Malescot St. Exupery (Tird Growth) Owned by the Zuger family since 1955, they have brought the estate back to prominence. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Aged 14 to 16 months in new oak. The 85-acres of vines are located in the village of Margaux (malescot.com). Château Prieuré-Lichine (Fourth Growth) When noteworthy wine book author, wine importer and Margaux protagonist Alexis Lichine took over this estate in 1951, he added his own name to the former Prieuré- Cantenac. Now owned by the Ballande Group, the wine is comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. Aged in 50% new oak and 50% second-year oak. Te 173-acres of vines are located in the village of Cantenac (prieure-lichine.fr/). Château Mongravey (Not classified in 1855 classification) Owned by Régis Bernaleau since 1980. Classified as a Cru Bourgeois, a lesser classifcation then the 1855 Classifcation, but still a quality wine. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot from 24-acres in the village of Arsac. Aged 14 to 16 months in 60% new oak (chateau-mongravey.fr) 1855 CLASSIFICATION OF MARGAUX First (1) - Château Margaux. Second (5) - Château RauzanSégla, Château Rauzan-Gassies, Château Durfort-Vivens, Château Lascombes and Château Brane-Cantenac. Third (10) - Château Malescot St. Exupéry, Château Desmirail, Château Ferrière, Château Marquis d'Alesme Becker, Château Kirwan, Château d'Issan, Château Boyd-Cantenac, Château Cantenac-Brown, Château Palmer and Château Giscours. Fourth (3) Château Marquis de Terme, Château Pouget and Château Prieuré-Lichine Fifth (2) Château Dauzac and Château du Tertre A Certifed Wine Educator, Scott is one of 118 professionals in North America and 186 worldwide who have earned the title Master Sommelier.

Curating a Lifestyle: Spirited Collecting
Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers
From left to right - A blown “pillar mold” (Pittsburgh) glass whiskey measure (approx. 4” high), circa 1850. Private collection, $400. A golden amber pressed glass whiskey taster (approx. 2” high), c.1875-1900. Sold at Garth’s, $150. A fruitwood, pocket-size cased set of “Hydrostatical glass bubbles for ascertaining the Strength of Spirits” by William Twaddell, Glasgow, circa 1795. Te delicate, blown glass graduated bubbles are each numbered to correspond to a rating on the enclosed chart, ranging from “Grogg” to “Proof Whiskey” to “High Wines.” Private collection, $450.
Whether you are whipping up a mint julep for Derby season or settling into a hot toddy by the fireplace at the holidays, bourbon (and other spirits) are, for many of us, a special addition to any celebration; but, are you familiar with the lengthy history of distilled spirits? Although records provide evidence of beer and wine production almost 5,000 years ago, it was not until the 8th Century that the distillation process was developed. Used, in some way, by nearly every major civilization, the very names of the liquors produced by this method give us a clue about how early people embraced it: whiskey means, literally, “water of life.” Te earliest products of these eforts, as well as the vapors they produced, were probably frst used for medicinal purposes. Eventually, of course, we began consuming spirits like whiskey, gin, and vodka alongside wine and beer, and into the late 19th Century, having a drink before dinner, with dinner or after was fairly commonplace. Industrious farmers had been supplementing their income (and lining the cellar walls) by distilling and packaging spirits for decades. In fact, the average Virginia distillery in the early 19th Century produced about 650 gallons of whiskey per year, valued at roughly $475 (the equivalent of $7500 today). By mid century, private label liquor producers were capable of much larger production and shipment to merchants in major centers of commerce for resale. As our collective love affair with cocktails grew, so did the Prohibition sentiment. Local attempts to outlaw the sale of alcoholic beverages met with dogged determination: one tavern owner
34 slmag.net
in Massachusetts got around the laws in his town by charging patrons to see a striped pig - but, drinks were free. Nationally, the prohibition movement won political favor with the adoption of the 18th Amendment (prohibiting the purchase, production and transportation of intoxicating liquor), but, by all accounts, it was a complete failure. While accurate statistics from the period are sparse, most historians agree that not only were more people drinking by the end of Prohibition - they were also drinking more. Te overall economic efect of the 18th Amendment was devastating, and it was ultimately repealed in 1933. For antique collectors, the rise and fall (and rise again) of the alcohol industry, along with the effects on lifestyle, provide a multitude of intriguing collecting possibilities. Early whiskey flasks, tasters and advertising material offer buyers with 19th Century interests the opportunity to round out a collection with other material culture of the period. For the nonconformists among us, Prohibition-era documents, bottles and related paraphernalia (yes, including unopened wine and liquor - see sidebar) are a great reminder of how easily societal sentiment can jeopardize the freedoms we often take for granted. Whatever your reason, consider exploring the world of spirits to quench your collecting thirst. For more information on this topic, visit www.garths.com/collecting. sl Amelia and Jef Jefers are the co-owners of Garth's Auctioneers & Appraisers, an international frm located outside Columbus, Ohio.
THE WESTLAKE CACHE Late last year in Westlake, Ohio, one of life’s great surprises awaited a dutiful son who walked his elderly father one last time through their home of 30+ years that had been emptied only days earlier. Directing his son to an obscure spot behind a panel and under the game room stairs, the father told of an opportune purchase in the 1970s that had been tucked away and nearly forgotten. “The Westlake Cache” (as it became known) was saved from certain destruction when the father and a few of his friends negotiated for more than four cases of pre-Prohibition rye whiskey and gin from the heirs to a prominent Cleveland estate whose family had been
instrumental in the establishment of Te National Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). Hoping to avoid an embarrassing public acknowledgement of the extensive cache, the heirs happily struck a quick deal with the men who were determined to “assist with this worthy mission to save the liquor from its current predicament and certain death at the hands of the criminally sober.” Sadly, the father passed away in December, 2012, shortly after he shared the secrets of the Westlake Cache with his son. Garth’s is pleased to bring the Westlake Cache to auction in the fall of 2013. For more information about the collection, or to inquire about bidding, contact info@garths.com.

From Art in Zurich to Zeal in the Andes Whether you fancy yourself immersed in chic environs suited for a starring role in a James Bond fick or wish to glimpse daily life free from the bonds of 24/7 connectivity, our travel feature this month – highlighting the Dolder Grand in Switzerland and Titilaka Lodge in Peru – has you covered. While ofering completely distinct experiences, both properties share enviable locations that take advantage of sweeping vistas - Lake Zurich and Lago Titicaca, respectively.
Schipfe is one of the oldest quarters of the city and home to a bevy of craftspeople and artisans.
Te Dolder Grand Perched like a fairytale citadel on a hillside overlooking Zurich with its picturesque lake in the front and an expanse of seemingly enchanted woodland as its backyard, the Dolder Grand, very much like the city itself, harmoniously pays appropriate homage to history while keeping a keen eye trained on the future. Renovated and expanded to the tune of more than $400 million, the 173-room landmark recently celebrated the ffth year anniversary of its April 2008 reopening. Home to more than 100 prized artworks from the property’s majority stakeholder, Swiss fnancier Urs E. Schwarzenbach, the varied collection encompasses pieces spanning generations and genres. The architecture of the hotel is conducive to up close and personal viewing of each (iPad art tours permit guest to

view the pieces at their own pace). The heart of the hotel, the original “Curhaus”, which dates to 1899, is enveloped by a pair of modern wings - the Spa Wing and the Golf Wing – designed by the London architectural frm Foster and Partners. A favorite of jet-setting celebrities, sports stars, and foreign dignitaries, the Dolder Grand was used as a prominent setting for David Fincher's Hollywood flm, "Te Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." Te juxtaposition of old and new is readily apparent from the moment the doorman escorts you into the hotel and into the lobby. Gilt detail on the ornately carved cofered ceiling is echoed in the shimmer of the contemporary brass and crystal chandelier, under which is positioned an Albert-Ernest CarrierBelleuse sculpture and Eugène Farcot clock. A split staircase leads to the more traditionally outftted guests rooms in the

Room categories range from single rooms to deluxe rooms and suites, with the top four premium suites offering extraordinary accoutrements and space, up to 1,300-square feet and commanding in excess of $15,000 per night. Rooms outside of the top four are no less fetching with myriad confgurations and interior design aesthetics. For planning purposes, it’s important to note that all deluxe rooms have lake views, while superior rooms have forest views. All rooms in the modern wings have a balcony. Traditionalists will want to book one of six rooms in the main building that are historically protected and have been restored to their original condition. En route to my room, a Junior Suite Deluxe in the Spa Wing, I was treated to a walk along the light-flled hallway, linking old with new, enabling me to admire the sculpture garden adjacent to the ballroom, which ofered amply shaded seating areas to admire Le Monde by Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely, among others. After taking a glass elevator to my foor, I rounded the corner and entered into a cocoon-like corridor; illuminated circles on the foor marked the entrance to each room.

A wall of windows looking out over the city and lake, and a large balcony with a lacy aluminum balustrade, made the emergence from the dark corridor into the ethereal room that much more dramatic. Te shape of a white kidney-shaped leather chaise sofa ft perfectly into the contours of a white, lacquered wall separating the bedroom from the bath and walk-in closet. Te bed was enveloped in sheer, foor-to-ceiling draperies, and several layers of remote controlled drapes on the expanse of windows allowed for customization of the levels of natural light. A pocket door separates the bed and bathroom, where a deep soaking tub is positioned to take full advantage of the view. A bath caddy stocked with a selection of sea salts, fragrant candle and a small, charming illustrated book Das schönste Geschenk (Te Sweetest Gift), by Patrick McDonnell, all but guaranteed a relaxing soak. The sleekly outfitted bath with an expanse of polished granite and limestone surfaces included a host of fullsize skin care amenities from Kerstin Florian. On-site dining and recreation options are plentiful enough to keep one busy for days on end. Candle-like lights suspended from varying heights on nearly indiscernible wires add a dramatic design element in the Dolder Bar, popular among locals and tourists alike. Creative seasonal cocktails incorporate fresh herbs from the kitchen garden, located near the Golf Wing (the Wasa Khann, with its interesting addition of mint and wasabi, among other ingredients is all but guaranteed to put some pep in your step).

Te Restaurant at the Dolder Grand has the distinction of being one of two restaurants in Zurich that hold a coveted duo of Michelin stars.
Te Restaurant at the Dolder Grand has the distinction of being one of two restaurants in Zurich that hold a coveted duo of Michelin stars. It has also been awarded 17 Gault Millau points, a rating of more signifcance to French and Swiss gourmands. Dining at The Restaurant is an experience not to be missed. The tongue-in-cheek placement of New York based artist Scott Campbell’s “I'll start my diet tomorrow”, positioned near a painting by Salvador Dali at the entrance to Te Restaurant evidences this is an art collection that doesn’t take itself too seriously. An army of attendants and kitchen staf service the 47 seat fne dining establishment. Te intensity by which Executive Chef Heiko Nieder and his underlings pursue perfection is such that he and his staf are given a three-week holiday twice a year. I’ve been fortunate enough to be privy to a few exclusive dining experiences over the course of my travels, and this meal, though even the term “meal” seems too common a word for this culinary immersion, easily ranks in my global top three. No less than five amuse-bouches arrived in advance of our 12-course Tasting Menu, each more artfully presented than its predecessor (lobster with beet root and strawberry; tuna with passion fruit, green tea and mozzarella were included among the highlights). Te wine list is as thick as a small city phone directory. I opted to pair a

Swiss wine with each course, permitting me to discover the wonder of the country’s important varietals. Our après dinner chocolate service proved fne cuisine and fun aren’t mutually exclusive. Pop Rocks, a perennial favorite of kids everywhere, were concealed inside a perfect morsel of creamy white chocolate. It was quite fun to look around the dining room to see and hear the well-coifed patrons giggling with delight at the novelty of it all. Also a sight to behold was the lavish Sunday brunch. A favorite family tradition for local families, the copious spread encompassed everything from sushi to sausage. Certainly attributable to cows fed on verdant alpine grasses and glacial water, the Swiss produce some of the fnest cheeses around, and I couldn’t resist a trip or two (maybe three?) to sample from the fromage station. Spaphiles can attain ultimate bliss in the 43,000-square foot spa, an architectural marvel comprised of an aqua zone with lap pool, indoor and outdoor whirlpools, steam bath, samarium, and two features that were a frst for me – a Japanese-style Sunaburo and Snow Paradise. Te former was comprised of white bananashaped tubs flled with heated black pebbles, which one wriggles into at their comfort level. The latter was literally a room of eternal winter. Kept at -15° C, powdery snow coats every surface. I lasted about 15 seconds before retreating to the aromapool

in the separate Ladies’ spa. Another unique spa amenity is the chillout area, where lounge chairs suspended from the ceiling have a personal sound system and headphones allowing you to choose the soundtrack for your relaxation time. Twenty treatment rooms allow for a comprehensive menu of services that combine European and Swiss therapies with Japanese undertones. I opted for the “Hydra Heaven” experience as it combined the best of both worlds: a facial with a pressure point massage and footbath all delivered while enveloped by a warm waterbed, delivering the sensation of foating on air. A large fitness room offers personal training and fitness classes and was equipped with both cardiovascular and strength machines. Tere are also great running trails just outside the door in the Dolder recreation area, making you feel as though you’ve escaped into a remote forest even though the heart of the bustling city is just minutes away. G u e s t s o f t h e D o l d e r Gr a n d h a v e a c c e s s t o t h e challenging nine-hole golf course located in front of the hotel and part of the Dolder Golf Club Zurich (a handicap of 30 is required) as well as the fve clay courts of the Zurich Tennis Club, located behind the hotel. A fve-minute walk leads to the Dolder Bad, a charmingly vintage public outdoor pool surrounded by a lush tree-lined
lawn. Next to the pool is the only mini-golf course in the city of Zurich. In winter, the same vicinity is home to the Dolder open-air ice skating rink, built in 1930 and the largest of its kind in Europe. Te rink location is the site of a popular outdoor concert series in the summer. W h i l e i t w o u l d b e t e m p t i n g t o re m a i n o n h o t e l property throughout the duration, with the terminus of the Dolderbahn Train literally at the hotel’s doorstep, it would be a shame not to venture to the city. Trains run every 10 minutes, and the fve-minute journey down the hill ends at Römerhof, less than a mile from the city center. From there, it’s easy to pick up a connecting tram (Zurich has the densest public transport network in the world) or explore the city on foot. Bahnhofstrasse boulevard ranks among the world’s most expensive and exclusive shopping avenues. Idyllic Schipfe is one of the oldest quarters of the city and home to a bevy of craftspeople and artisans. Tere are also over 100 art galleries and more than 50 museums. In summer, strolling alongside people from all walks of life that flock to the waterside promenades of Lake Zurich is quite a treat. Rates at The Dolder Grand from $623 USD.

Lakeside Refections Te Lodge at Titilaka is situated directly on the shores of one of the highest commercially navigable lakes in the world.
Titilaka Lodge After a 10-hour rail journey from Cusco to Puno in Peru aboard the Andean Explorer followed by more than an hour’s van ride in the black of night from the train station to the shores of Lake Titcaca, including a few wrong turns by our driver, one of which found us plowing through a cornfeld, expectations were high as to what we would fnd at the end of our odyssey. Starlight refections dancing on a vast lake provided the frst indication that we’d arrived at our destination. Before us was Te Lodge at Titilaka, a rather unassuming building; uplights on the partial stone façade marked the entryway and candles lined the corridor leading to the reception desk. The rustic contemporary interior served as a neutral backdrop for a riot of color provided by a wealth of local textiles and artwork. At the end of the corridor, a large round tufted ottoman centered in front of a square picture window perfectly framed a particularly picturesque lake scene, though I’d not be able to fully appreciate the staging until the following morning. After checking in, we were presented with a menu of activities, both full and half-day, that encompassed various nature, culture and fitness-oriented options. Being somewhat

bleary-eyed from a long travel day and wanting nothing more than a hot shower and a deep sleep, it was somewhat difcult to focus on the overview being presented, but we made our decisions and headed of to our room. Te Lodge features 18 lake-facing rooms on three foors connected by a central hallway. Though somewhat oddly oriented – you enter the long, narrow room through the bath – our Dawn room took full advantage of its lakefront orientation. Tough we were in a remote locale, the room was masterfully outftted with heated foors, an iPod dock, an oversized shower with separate soaking tub, fluffy down comforter on a bed big enough to seemingly accommodate four, a pair of chaise lounges end-to-end in front of the picture window, locally produced textile floor coverings and wall décor, and a fully equipped complementary mini bar. Te Lodge prides itself on having a small carbon footprint by employing hydroelectric power, natural gas, mostly local workers, and sourcing its meats and produce locally whenever possible. An all-inclusive format covers all meals, alcoholic drinks during selected hours, and nearly all of the activities (with the exception of full-day excursions). I enjoyed the collegial

atmosphere the lodge’s intimate size fostered. During cocktail hour on the evening of our arrival we had a chance to meet nearly everyone lodging there, so by breakfast our frst morning we were fast friends with lovely couples from London, the island of Mallorca and Holland. After a good night’s sleep and a hearty traditional breakfast we reviewed our selected itinerary for the day, making just a few tweaks. Late morning our group of six assembled at the dock adjacent to the hotel for a pleasant boat ride on Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, to nearby Taquile Island. Armando, our most affable guide, was thoroughly entertaining, relating interesting information about the lake and its environs as well as the intricate web of smuggling that is carried out amongst residents of the various lake islands, pointing out that even though the peaceable Taquile residents are of the grid some are apparently on the take. Renown for their fne hand-woven textiles and clothing, the 2,200 residents on Taquile largely participate in a communitycontrolled tourism model, which helps to preserve the authenticity of the culture and enhances the visitor experience.

A weaver in the village of Taquile.
Subsisting on terraced farming and fshing, the steeply sloped island is dotted with red-roofed houses and friendly colorfully attired locals. We were welcomed at the southern shore (less frequented by tourists) by a man in traditional dress talking on a cell phone, another reminder of the ever-changing notion of remoteness. Our guide led us up a steep slope to the home of Roberto. In the courtyard, a group of women wearing long, dark-colored head shawls (reminding me of the nuns at my Catholic elementary school) were busy on their looms. One of the women had a newly born lamb nestled under her arm. After exchanging pleasantries, Armando shared with us the fascinating history of the island’s textile tradition. All Taquileans learn to make textiles from a very young age, and a man’s viability as a suitor lie in direct correlation to his knitting skills. Apparently, the weave of his ch’ullus (knit cap) must be so fne as to hold water poured into it by his would-be father in law – a leak means he is not good enough for his daughter to marry. Married women wear black skirts and men can indicate their marital status by the positioning of the pompom on their cap.
Te lobby of the Lodge at Titilaka.
The notoriety of Taquilean textiles means that wares produced on-island command higher prices than those found at roadside stalls and market stands on the mainland, but the quality of the work is truly superb and it’s quite a treat to purchase directly from the artisan. A great many people who visit Lake Titilaka choose to visit the Uros foating islands, whose people live on foating structures made of reeds. While Te Lodge ofers this excursion, we opted to visit the weaving community of Copamaya, which included a semi-strenuous ascent to a rocky peak, where polished stone seats carved from large rocks mark the site as a remnant of the Inca Trail. Te view of the lake and surrounding countryside was spectacular and well worth the lung busting climb. Nestled next to giant boulders at the base of the hill, the humble adobe and thatched roof home of Celedonio and his family, which we visited, provided an intimate snapshot of the everyday life in rural Peru. Te ornate dress of these simple people - layered skirts, embroidered jackets, and colorful knitted caps on the women and calf-length black pants, white shirts and colorful waistbands on the men -seemed at odds
with their primitive surroundings. Teir pride in place and craft as well as their genuine hospitality was readily palpable. Spend one-minute in a kitchen with small windows, no chimney, and equipped with a wood-burning mud stove belching smoke and you gain an immediate appreciation for First World amenities (and want to contribute to an organization like Engineers Without Borders, who helps build improved cooking stoves for indigenous people). At dinner in the comfortable confines of The Lodge, we chose to sit with some of our day’s travelmates, during which the conversation invariably centered on the arduousness of eking out an existence in this part of the world, requiring a tenaciousness I’m not sure I could muster. We were all in agreement that the ability to witness rural Peruvians engaged in their mundane tasks of daily living while driving through the agricultural plains and villages bordering the lake to and from our excursions was an experience we wouldn’t soon forget. Rates at Titilaka Lodge from $724 per night. For more information or reservations visit titilaka.com. For custom guided Peruvian travel itineraries visit kensingtontours.com. sl

Audi An advanced plug-in hybrid, new Audi A3 Sportback e-tron, integrates a conventional gas engine and an electric motor to deliver up to 188mpg. Te Audi A3 e-tron can run exclusively on electric power for up to 31 miles at speeds of up to 80mph, or can be powered by gas combustion alone. Alternatively, the hybrid mode brings both units into play, and the driver can choose to run these simultaneously – a function known as 'boosting'. Bentley During the global reveal of the new Bentley Flying Spur, Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber, Chairman and Chief Executive said, “Te new Bentley Flying Spur marks a big step forward. We have re-designed and re-engineered almost every part of the car. In simple words, we have created the best luxury sedan in the world – a perfect combination of exquisite refnement, efortless performance, elegant styling and state of the art technology.” Powering the new Flying Spur is a 6.0-litre, twin turbo W12 engine, coupled to a ZF eight-speed transmission, delivering more power than any other Bentley four-door in history.
BMW In his opening remarks, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, Chairman of the Board of Management, BMW AG stated, “In megacities, the car can only have a future if we take the right steps to lead it from lowemission to zero-emission technologies today. We strongly believe that sheer driving pleasure will also work without emissions.” BMW’s i3 Concept Coupe reflects the current status of the ongoing development process and illustrate the potential breadth of an extended BMW i portfolio.

Porsche Te Porsche 911 celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013 and the company felt there was no better way to begin the celebrations than by opening a fresh chapter in the arena of high performance sports cars with the fifth generation of the 911 GT3. The powertrain of the new 911 GT3 comprises a 3.8-litre fat engine developing 475 hp at 8,250-rpm, a Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) double-clutch gearbox, and high-traction rear-wheel drive. A top speed of 195 mph is reached in seventh (and thus top gear) of the PDK transmission. The lap time on the NürburgringNordschleife track - commonly regarded as the most difficult in the world – is even more impressive: less than 7 ½ minutes. While every Porsche is proven around the Nürburgring, this credential is particularly relevant for the new model – around 80% of 911 GT3 customers also drive their cars on racetracks.

Pattern Play Layered textures in muted tones allow a diverse art collection to take center stage in an East Louisville home Written by Bridget Williams Photography by Andrew Kung
A glass piece by Dale Chihuly rests atop a peach wood Asian console in the foyer.
Interior designer Lee W. Robinson of the Lee R. Robinson Company was tasked with creating an aesthetically compelling interior design for a traditional East End home with enough edge that they stood up to, but did not overpower a top-shelf art collection that includes everything from Old World oils to contemporary art glass pieces. In addition to the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good bones, Robinson also had the good fortune to be able to build the rooms from a colorful foundation comprised of exquisite antique silk Oriental rugs. A subtle sense of the Orient pervades each room due to the presence of fne Asian antiques, beginning in the foyer, where a glass piece by Dale Chihuly rests atop a peach wood Asian console table simply ornamented with gracefully arced stretchers and hoof feet. A curved floating staircase and wide, vertical 68 slmag.net
stripes in aligned shades of sand on the walls in the double-height space add to the drama. Warm light emanates from a simple bell jar pendant fxture with star glass. Silver-leaf crosshatched wallpaper by Osborne & Little on the walls of the living room contributes a hint of iridescence to the space. Robinson placed a traditional center hall table surrounded by four contemporary stools upholstered with Carlton V fabric and Fabricut trim in the center of the room to accommodate the homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; penchant for entertaining. Goblet-pleat silk drapery hangs from contemporary Lucite rods. A glass vessel by Stephen Rolfe Powell is displayed on the ledge of a deep windowsill near the freplace. Given prominence over the mantel is an oil on panel by French painter Louis Gabriel Eugene Isabey (1803-1886).

From top - bottom and left - right, A glass vessel by Stephen Rolfe Powell is displayed on the ledge of a deep windowsill. An oil on panel by French painter Louis Gabriel Eugene Isabey (1803-1886) hangs above the freplace in the living room. Silk velvet Clarence House fabric in a Greek Key motif is found on the perching bench in the living room. Brunschwig & Fils strié wallpaper and Tunder, a 50”x50” oil on canvas by Tony Bechara, provides a jolt of color in the newly renovated kitchen.
Global influences abound, from the silk velvet Clarence House fabric in a Greek Key motif used for the perching bench, to a bronze sculpture by G. Harvey in the style of Frederic Remington perched on a gilded bamboo pedestal with marble top. Vibrant accent pillows, including a pair with a contemporary chinoiserie styling, enliven a beige wool upholstered sofa, over which hangs a large acrylic on canvas painting by Puerto Ricanborn and New York City-based artist Tony Bechara. In a room full of superlatives, Robinson chose a muted palette for the walls and drapery in the dining room to highlight the eclectic mix of art and furnishings.

Te blown glass chandelier efortlessly skirts the line between traditional and contemporary. Completely gutted, the homeowners’ directed Robinson to create a livelier color scheme for the kitchen, and he chose Brunschwig & Fils strié wallpaper in a color evocative of a lush lawn at the height of spring. Continuing the study of contrasts, Windsor chairs surrounding the table are perfectly in step with Thunder, a 50”x50” oil on canvas by Tony Bechara. Scarlet accents found on the iron chandelier that hangs over the table are echoed by the hues of the rug underfoot. “I really like the way the neutral and modern interior allows the art to come to the forefront,” remarked Robinson. sl

KMAC COUTURE Written by Bridget Williams Photography by Tony Bailey In an effort to reinvigorate their fundraising and outreach efforts, the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft (KMAC) bypassed their traditional Oaks brunch in favor of a new event – KMAC Couture: Art Walks the Runway. A core “fab fve” committee, comprised of Janice Carter Levitch, Kris Pettit, Charity Beck-Ghali, Elizabeth Dodd Lococo, and Guy Tedesco reviewed more than 60 submissions from local and regional artists and fashion designers before selecting approximately 40 pieces of wearable art and conceptual fashion designs to walk the Hermes-orange runway that was laid out on the second foor of the KMAC for the event.

Guests were encouraged to come attired in shades of white and they willingly obliged, setting the stage for an Ăźber-chic scene. Following cocktails and boutique shopping on the frst foor, the sold-out crowd moved upstairs to await the start of the show. Spanning more than 45-minutes, the expertly choreographed runway presentation included outfts made of every conceivable material, from household utensils to recycled exotic wood veneers, the latter of which comprised a dramatic finale gown imagined by Guy Tedesco and worn by a model playing a 350-year-old violin as she ascended the staircase. After the designers took their bow and congratulatory remarks were lauded upon those involved by KMAC Executive Director Aldy Milliken, the crowd fltered back down to the frst foor where they were able to garner an up-close look at the runway ensembles and chat with their creators. sl

OLD SCHOOL COOL At Holly Hill Inn, Chef Ouita Michel elevates Southern staples with staying power Written by Bridget Williams Photography by Andrew Kung “It’s my little sweet spot,” says Chef Ouita Michel about Holly Hill Inn, the restaurant she opened in Midway with her husband Chris in 2000. Tough she now presides over a mini culinary empire that includes Wallace Station, Windy Corner Market and Midway School Bakery as well as an appointment as Chefin-Residence at Woodford Reserve Distillery in nearby Versailles, the kitchen of the historic family home-turned B&B-turned white table restaurant is where she prefers to do most of her cooking and culinary experimentation. Te Michels purchased the property from descendants of the family who had owned it since 1903 and though the building has been modernized over the years, its footprint remains as it was in 1900. Te Holly Hill Inn moniker was given to the property in the 1970s when it was operated as a B&B. Each year at the height of summer, the descendants gather at Holly Hill to share a “Tanksgiving dinner”, sharing old memories and creating new ones, with Ouita and her family happy to be included as part of the property’s enduring legacy. Lucky for us, our early spring visit allowed us to witness the beauty of the expansive front and side lawn blanketed in a pale pink cloak of Claytonia virginica blossoms, more commonly known as ‘spring beauty’. Ouita said that one of the conditions she agreed to when she purchased the property is that they wouldn’t mow or do anything that would otherwise disturb this annual harbinger of spring. Guests are welcomed to the front door via a gracious Colonial Revivalstyle colonnaded verandah. When it was added in 1903, the homeowners at the time chose a concrete surface so the children could roller skate there. It is easy to imagine the family gathered here on hot summer afternoons, sipping sweet tea and hoping to catch a cooling breeze provided by the home’s hilltop location. 82 slmag.net

From the creak of the ancient wood floors, to the well-worn stair treads and original period furniture pieces, the place oozes with character. Tere are a total of fve dining rooms and regulars defnitely play favorites. Ouita said that Room Tree, with a mirror dating to 1900 mounted above the freplace mantel, is the most often requested. Te formality of the white tablecloth-topped tables surrounded by Queen Anne dining chairs are tempered by locally made stoneware chargers. Te former side porch is now a small bar with room for fve on spindly stools.
Long regarded as a champion of the locavore movement (it has been reported that she has purchased more than $1 million in locally grown products in the last decade), the bounty of the season’s frst harvest happily coincides with Holly Hill’s busiest season, which starts with Keeneland’s spring meet and ends a week or so after the Kentucky Derby. During the spring and summer, the restaurant is open for lunch on Friday and Saturday, dinner on Tursday, Friday and Saturday and Sunday brunch. To take full advantage of the rotating availability of fresh produce, the menu changes frequently. A recent “Around the World in 80 Days” dining concept saw the menu change weekly. “It nearly killed us,” joked Ouita. She is quick to cite the importance of her “amazing” kitchen staf, including sous chef Tanya Whitehouse, who has been at Holly Hill since it opened. Constant fxtures on the spring menu from year to year are Ouita’s time-tested Derby staples including Strawberries Derby and country ham and biscuits on the lunch menu and Kentucky leg of lamb, Old Louisville “Rolled Oysters” and Old South pickled shrimp on the dinner menu. 84 slmag.net
Ouita gets a twinkle in her eye when she talks about local farmers. Take Caldwell Willig of Rivercrest Farm in Goshen, Kentucky where she procures her rabbit: “I don’t know what he feeds them that makes them so tender, but they’re the best I’ve ever eaten,” she gushed. She stufs the leg with apple and apple-smoked bacon and serves it alongside baby carrots, asparagus and creamy potatoes in Laird’s Apple Jack sauce. It is easy to see that she could go on an on extolling the bounty to be had from the felds all around her idyllic location in the heart of horse country. With such reverence for her supplier’s hard work, she treats raw ingredients with care, turning out dishes that are deceptively simple and consistently superb.

A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, Ouita is a self-professed “old school chef ” who eschews trendy foams and gelées. Not that she’s against such techniques in the right hands, it’s just not her style. “I’ve worked with plenty of new chefs who try to impress by being avant-garde but they can’t even made a vinaigrette. You have to walk before you can run,” she said. Her one ‘techy’ sauce, a homemade mint variety that accompanies her lamb dish, took five years to fully perfect. Adapted from a recipe culled from The Fat Duck cookbook, she said she applied some old-fashioned ingenuity and concepts to get it just right.

Midway School Bakery just down the road from Holly Hill Inn provides all of the bread and pastries for the restaurant, including good-asyour-grandmother’s Buttermilk Chess, Chocolate Bourbon Pecan, Lemon Chifon and Sour Cream Apple pies. Here too ingredients are sourced locally, including fours from Weisenberger Mill, cocoa powder from Ruth Hunt Candies and pecans from the Kentucky Nut Corp. One of Ouita’s favorite aspects of this time of year is getting to share upscale Southern favorites with the scores of out-of-towners that grace the historic halls of Holly Hill Inn. “It’s an exhilarating time and I love to be a part of it,” she said. sl Holly Hill Inn is located at 426 North Winter Street in Midway, Kentucky.
