Jarrod and Megan Krisiloff Residence For their new build, Jarrod and Megan Krisiloff had a strong vision. Having decided on a bold, contemporary structure, it was important to the Krisiloffs to continue that aesthetic in the interior of the home as well. The kitchen boasts a grand fourteen foot island, complete with bookmatched seams, waterfall legs, and two unique integrated electrical receptacles. Along the wall, the cooktop run maintains its strength within the space with a four foot tall counter-to-cabinet splash. Using locally sourced Vermont Danby, the Krisiloff kitchen is both thoughtfully environmental and daringly chic.

From the Editor-in-Chief To paraphrase the start of a Billy Joel song, “Got a note from an old friend, we still are real close.” Elliott Levin is a lawyer in town who’s been a very good friend for 25 years or so. He wrote a letter to my wife, Jen, and me after we recently published the second Sophisticated Giving Charity Register. He touched us both when he said, in part: “Success is not measured by one’s wealth or material items, but it is measured by what you do for others, your participation in the community, participation in philanthropy, and how you treat and respect others." “I am so lucky and happy to be your good friend, and honor our relationship.” Elliott’s note was particularly dear to us. He helped us when we were in a tough situation and has been like a second father to me. Jen’ Jen’s equally fond of this wonderful man who’s been in our corner, and we deeply appreciate that. We love producing the charity register, doing our little part to give back to the nonproft community. While both our names are on it, the register is Jen’s baby. She works tirelessly on it for about four months. W Jen’s so passionate about it that, when some of the smaller causes couldn’t aford a listing in the frst or Je second edition, she raised the money so they could make their causes and voices heard. se While the feedback we get after each issue of Sophisticated Living is very gratifying, it pales in comparison to the successes we hear about from our nonproft partners who participate in Sophisticated co Giving. Here’s just one story I was honored to hear about recently. G Catherine O’Connor, the Julian Center’s president and chief executive, remembers Madi, a 6-yearold who arrived with her mom and her brothers at the shelter just before Christmas. She had told the staf ol that although she lived in houses while growing up, they didn’t feel like home because of what was going th on inside them. But the center was safe and secure; it felt like home is supposed to feel, and they had a perfectly normal holiday with a tree and presents and Santa. pe Madi says she got to start over and grew as a person. With the help of the Julian Center, Madi’s mom regained her fnancial footing. She bought a home and helped put her daughter through college. Now re Madi volunteers at the center, which she says helped make her the person she is. M To show our appreciation for these nonprofts and their vital community work, we recently hosted a party for various staf and board members of, plus generous donors to, the 50 causes that participated in this year’s book. Jen planned it, with a big hand from our luxury brand manager, Mollie Louret, and Andrea Kleymeyer, marketing director for the Indiana Design Center. It was a huge success. Everyone gathered near the great band (just like folks end up in the kitchen at parties you throw). I tried to make it around the room to thank everyone personally, chatting a lot — and pretty loudly, to be heard over the music. I lost my voice. While Jen probably didn’t mind her chatterbox husband being silenced, we both heard so many beautiful stories. Te second charity register has been even more gratifying than the frst, which we didn’t think was possible. Jen and I already are looking forward to the 2017 edition. That celebration was heartwarming. Another one for us is this issue, which marks the fifth anniversary of Sophisticated Living. We owe you — our readers and advertisers — a huge thank you. For fve years, you’ve embraced our baby, enjoyed our words and photographs, talked about it with friends and shared your opinions with us. Your support has helped us fulfll our dreams, which include helping others through the charity register. It’s not nearly enough, but thank you.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION Porsche invests $100m in its new North American Experience Center Written by Andre James I wasn’t the most enthusiastic student in elementary school, spending a great deal of time daydreaming and flling the cover of my notebook with sketches of my dream car at the time: a Porsche 930 Turbo. I thought of the teachers who chided me for my preteen doodling as I sat idling behind the wheel of a 2017 911 Carrera S on the track at the new Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta, the throaty rumble of the engine purring like a contented cat. If they could only see me now I thought. Opened in 2015, this one-of-a-kind facility–the frst automotive experience center to open in North America–is constructed on 27.7-acres adjacent to the Hartsfeld-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at a cost of $100 million. Serving as the U.S. headquarters for Porsche, the entire facility employs in excess of 400 people. Architecturally speaking, the 220,000-square-foot facility projects a Euro-modern aesthetic that is distinct from yet reminiscent to its counterpart in Stuttgart, Germany. For Porsche fans that can’t make it to the mothership, this is the next best

thing, and having been to both, I wouldn’t say you’d be settling. Troughout the building, architectural and interior design cues are derived from Porsche DNA at varying levels of subtlety. The venue is home to a Human Performance Center, Business Center, Classic Car Gallery and Restoration Center, the Porsche Exclusive Personal Design Studio, a Driving Simulator Lab, the Porsche Driver’s Selection Store, the casual Carrera Café and fne dining Restaurant 356. A leading sports science laboratory with top-notch facilities designed to maximize personal fitness, nutrition, wellness and athletic performance through customized programs, the Human Performance Center incorporates the latest techniques used in preparing Porsche racecar drivers. A popular destination for families on the weekend, the Driving Simulator Lab is akin to an ultra-high-tech video game that utilizes highly responsive actuators and algorithms to create realistic driving experiences. slmag.net

Able to accommodate groups of up to 150 people, the Business Center encompasses 13,000-square-feet of space on the frst and second foors. With available catering services, Wi-Fi, and state-of-the art audio/visual equipment, it provides a unique atmosphere for corporate and special events. The Porsche Exclusive Personal Design Studio works in tandem with the 189 Porsche dealers across the U.S. to allow customers with an existing vehicle on order to work with Personal Design Specialists in Atlanta to build their most personal Porsche, choosing from a wide selection of leather, paint colors and specialty parts. Showcasing a rotating selection of museum quality vehicles, the Classic Car Gallery and Restoration Center also 34 slmag.net

offers expert repair and restoration services for vehicles in excess of 10 years old along with high-end storage for Porsche customers and collectors. lluminated by a pendant light inspired by the stick shift of early 911 vehicles, the Carrera CafĂŠ is a barista-style spot offering a selection of coffees, drinks and light fare. At the opposite end of the dining spectrum is Restaurant 356, a fne dining establishment serving lunch and dinner with interiors that take design cues from the legendary Porsche 356. Boasting a 180-degree view of the development track, Executive Chef Ensan Wong sees to it that the views are equally tempting on both sides of the glass by turning out beautifully plated and seasonally driven New American food.

slmag.net

While all of the aforementioned bells and whistles are wonderful in their own right, truth be told, what brought me to the facility was the opportunity to experience the 1.6-mile driver development track behind the wheel of one of 77 high performance vehicles kept onsite. As a Porsche owner (in North America anyway), one rarely has the opportunity to put their vehicle through its paces (not legally anyway), and the experience ofered at the Experience Center is a truly bespoke one. More of a skills course than a true racecourse, an instructor meets with the driver prior to their 90-minute session to assess their ability level and discern what skills theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to work on before selecting one of six available driving modules: Handling Circuit: Te 1.6-mile course is designed to mimic a winding country road with a number of corners and undulations. 36 slmag.net

Here, a driver learns the finer points on choosing the correct path when negotiating the curves and proper application of accelerating and braking technique. Kick Plate: The kick plate is a flush-mounted, hydraulically actuated plate placed before a wetted epoxy surface. As a vehicle travels over the plate at a safe speed (approximately 20MPH), sensors move the plate randomly left or right to mimic sliding that might occur during inclement weather conditions. It is a hair-raising experience that tests vehicle control skills when encountering a skid or spin. Off-Road Course: With 21 different off-road obstacles, including a 1.1 ratio hill climb and a 45-degree vertical descent challenge, the course demonstrates the expansive capabilities of the Porsche Cayenne's of-road engineering and safety technology.

Dynamics Area: Tis tests the speed, agility and lane-change performance on a large asphalt pad designed to simulate unique maneuvers one may encounter during daily driving. Low-Friction Circle: Provides over-steer capabilities of a Porsche vehicle at a low-friction circle with uniform inward slope and polished concrete surface. Low-Friction Handling: Similar to the Low-Friction Circle, except it introduces a series of unique, tight curves with a mixture of various radius types and on-and-of camber corners. Porsche owners can also take delivery of their vehicle at the Experience Center and have the opportunity to track a vehicle with similar specifcations to their own to avoid wear and tear on their new personal automobile.

Looking to the future, the Capella Group recently broke ground on a five-star 214-room luxury Solís Hotel next to the Porsche Experience Center. Designed by award-winning HOK Architects frm, the same one that designed Porsche Cars North America Inc.’s Atlanta headquarters, the property will include a rooftop lounge with panoramic views of the Porsche track. Scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2017, guests looking to further immerse themselves in all things Porsche will enjoy amenities such as headboards featuring prints of rims from Porsche models over the years and a prevailing color palette of one of Porsche’s most popular colors–California blue. The Porsche Experience Center is located at One Porsche Drive in Atlanta, GA. For more information call 1-888-2047474, or visit porschedriving.com. sl slmag.net

Curating a Lifestyle: Fruits of the Season Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers

Savvy art and antiques collectors look forward to more than just sunshine and warmer temperatures in June. Summer represents the peak of the picking season for those willing to invest the time and energy into a hopping calendar of estate sales, auctions and flea markets. With all of the hype and television shows surrounding the art of the true find, one might believe that nothing of value slips through the cracks anymore. Rest assured fellow treasure-hunter, there is still gold to be found at the end of the rainbow. Seek, and ye just may be lucky enough to fnd. Read on for just a few examples of fabulous fnds that were sold for great gain in the auction galleries at Garth’s and Selkirk. Pufy Sleeve Artist When a seasonal staf member at Garth’s went estate-sale hopping with a friend last summer, she knew enough to realize that the most unassuming object could be worth a lot of money if placed in front of the right audience. While she made a number

42 slmag.net

of purchases, the $5 she spent on two small, framed items measuring approximately 4.5” x 5.5” would turn out to be one of the luckiest decisions of her life. Te hollow-cut silhouettes of a man and woman (presumably a pair), with clothing and accessories painted in watercolor, were created in the 19th century by an individual known only to scholars as “Te Pufy Sleeve Artist,” in reference to the signature design of his subjects’ clothing. When highlighted in Garth’s September Americana auction, they brought an impressive return of $7,800! Te Stallion Heist Rummaging through a large estate sale in Louisiana, Missouri, an astute antiques dealer was surprised to fnd a beautifully executed oil-on-board by American artist J. F. Stephens among a stack of seemingly unimportant prints and paintings. Depicting the stallion Heist in a landscape setting, the painting is fully inscribed with the date, artist’s signature and a banner reading: “Heist 2043,

IMP. German Coach Stallion. Property of Atlas and Pleasant Hill Co, Ill.” Included in the sale was a wonderful collection of legal documents and stock certificates related to the important racehorse. His $50 buy secured an amazing return when the painting then sold as a featured lot at Selkirk for $6,120. Folk Art Plaque As a group of siblings determined the fate of a massive amount of sentimental and household objects left behind by their deceased parents, a keen estate sales professional suggested they bring one particular object to a complimentary appraisal event at Garth’s for evaluation. Te relief-carved and painted wood panel was given to their parents by family friend Elijah Pierce, who happened to become one of the most well-loved folk artists of the 20th century. Signed and dated February 18, 1960, the work of art refects Pierce’s deep Christian values and sold for a gratifying $21,150 at Garth’s last spring.

Bronze Buddha While preparing for an impending downsize, a central Ohio woman first tackled the basement of the home her family had occupied for more than thirty years. Sifting through photos, old record albums, school and work memorabilia and discarded projects, she discovered a forgotten trinket her husband had brought home from a military tour in Asia decades earlier. On the advice of a friend, she brought a handful of items to be reviewed by the appraisal staf at Garth’s, including the East Asian bronze Buddha. Hoping it might be worth a few hundred dollars, she opted to leave it for the summer auction at Garth’s rather than sell it amidst household furnishings in an upcoming neighborhood garage sale. Enthusiastic bidders from all over the world drove the fnal selling price to $43,475–sweet vindication for a husband whose souvenir had been relegated to a basement shelf. sl Amelia & Jef Jefers are co-owners of two fne art, antique and bespoke collectibles companies: Garth's of Delaware, Ohio and Selkirk of St. Louis, Missouri.

MAGIC AND MEMORIES

Te Four Seasons Resort Orlando and Disney’s Golden Oak Residential Development provide family-friendly fun in surroundings ft for a princess Written by Abigail Hamilton

“Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever.” – Walt Disney Walt Disney World and I were both toddlers when our paths frst crossed in the 1970s, and in the ensuing years, I spent many a happy childhood vacation cavorting around the Magic Kingdom, and later EPCOT. Today, the 27,000-plus-acre complex is the most visited vacation resort in the world, with attendance in excess of 52 million. The phenomenal growth came as quite a shock when a trip there presented itself to me after a two-decade hiatus. Even with familiar scenes that tugged at the heartstrings, I admit to being just a wee bit overwhelmed and underprepared for it all, going so far as to eschew it entirely from any future vacation

plans. Tat was until the Four Seasons Orlando came on the scene and lured me back for another look. Situated on Disney-owned property, the Four Seasons Orlando, opened in 2014, is ideal for those who desire close proximity to the parks as well as a respite from the crowds and the theme. In fact, the property, constructed in a lakeside Spanish Revival-style to refect Florida’s golden age, is quite a haven for those without children, boasting an adults-only lakeside infnityedge pool, the Tranquilo Golf Club and an 18-treatment room spa with six couples’ suites.

Te interiors throughout the hotel, designed by Pam Anderson of Anderson Miller Design, are what I would describe as “punchy,” executed as they are in lively hues with whimsical architectural details such as fretwork, mosaic tile and wallpaper that whisper, rather than shout, its Disney afliation. For instance, the 32,000 crystals that comprise the chandelier in the lobby emulate the freworks visible nightly from premium park view guestrooms and the rooftop terrace. Guests rooms feel very residential, a comfortable feeling that extends to the sprawling Royal and Presidential Suites, each of which boasts a unique design scheme. Standouts among the six restaurants on property include PB&G, an indoor-outdoor venue near the sprawling pool and recreation complex that serves up traditional Southern fare and a great selection of bourbons and specialty cocktails. At the lobby bar, which overlooks the lake, the Black Bottom Peanut Butter Pie is to die for. The heritage of Italian-born Executive Chef Fabrizio Schenardi is palpable from the excellent gelato on offer at the Lickety Split cofee house to the veal and lobster ravioli at Ravella, which serves three meals daily (as well as The Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy & Pals character breakfasts on Tursdays and Saturdays) from its open kitchen with a wood burning pizza oven. To say Schenardi is passionate about his craft is an understatement. “I have to admit, I don’t have much down time. Most of the time, I think about food,” he said. At the rooftop restaurant Capa, which means “cape” in Spanish, a dramatic ceiling installation of undulating red fabric calls to mind the iconic matador’s tool. Te tapas-style menu is packed with sure bets and a staf that must certainly possess ESP for their ability to guide patrons expertly along their culinary dinner journey. “Lots of people don’t use Mediterranean cuisine the way it’s supposed to be used. I like to experience it authentically,” said Schenardi.

Encompassing a full five-acres, Explorer Island offers activities for all ages, from toddlers to adults, with a lazy river, interactive splash zone with waterslides, a lakefront infnity-edge pool with dive-in movies, separate recreation zones for children and teens, and a complimentary daily kid’s program. An ice cream shop, basketball court and a trio of Har-Tru tennis courts round out the complex. A Disney Planning Center desk in the hotel lobby is at guests’ disposal to assist with the purchase of tickets, making reservations and general information for making the most of a Disney vacation. Four Seasons guests enjoy complimentary transportation to and from the Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Teme Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. For the ultimate Disney experience, consider booking a VIP Tour Guide. While I hadn’t been familiar with the service, it actually has its roots in the original Ambassador program initiated by Walt Disney himself at Disneyland Park in California. Starting at $2,800 for seven consecutive hours for up to 10 guests (exclusive of theme park tickets), groups are ofered private transport and back-of-the-house entry and exit, Fast Pass access to all rides, reserved seating for stage shows and parades, and a completely new perspective on what for me has always been a very hectic experience. I will admit to being somewhat leery of having a stranger insert themselves into our family vacation, but the affable Victoria, our VIP Tour Guide, quickly assuaged my fears and definitely put the magic back in the Magic Kingdom. She accompanied the children on rides that would have made me nauseous, held tables for us at busy lunchtime spots, and generally helped us make wise use of our time and energy, which allowed us to sneak in even more spa and pool time at the resort. slmag.net

While, Venetian, Italianate and Spanish Revival architectural precedents are among the allowed building styles at Golden Oak, customized interiors refect the unique aesthetics of each homeoowner.

The Four Seasons serves as the cornerstone for Disney’s Golden Oak, a unique residential development with 285 lots on 980 acres master-planned by Walt Disney Imagineering and acclaimed design frms, just 3.5-miles from the doorstep of the Magic Kingdom. Originally conceived for the secondary home market when it was launched in 2010, several original buyers (empty nesters and young families included) have since upgraded to larger residences and decided to put down permanent roots in Orlando. “Disney Springs and Orlando continue to expand in terms of shopping, dining and entertainment options for discerning visitors,” said Jessica Baker, public relations manager for Golden Oak, who singled out new celebrity chef outposts from the likes of Art Smith and Rick Bayless, Morimoto Asia, STK, the Edison nightclub and International Drive. Starting at $2 million for the lot and home, each of the custom residences are organized into distinct gated neighborhoods with individualized landscaping plans, averaging between 7,000-squarefeet with indoor-outdoor living foorplans. Venetian, Italianate and Spanish Revival architectural precedents are among the allowed 48 slmag.net

building styles. All home plans are approved by a review board and must be constructed by one of fve approved luxury builders. When it comes to the interiors, the sky’s the limit. “You can have as much or as little Disney as you want,” explained Baker, who added that many buyers view their purchase as a family legacy as this development represents the frst, and presently only, opportunity to actually live on Disney property. Residents are served by the Golden Oak Club with its Summerhouse private clubhouse with concierge-style Resident Services. Membership is activated at the time the lot sale is fnalized. Te concierge team plans year-round resident events, a highlight of which is the popular annual Christmas party with a surprise theme. “We are so focused on providing an ideal guest experience and are always fully staffed, even in low season,” remarked Page Pierce, vice president of Real Estate Development, adding that, “You don’t build a church just for Easter Sunday.” Other amenities at the clubhouse include an expansive fitness facility with locker rooms, private wine lockers, a family activity room, pool and Markham’s Restaurant, specializing in regional cuisine that utilizes locally sourced ingredients. A bar adjacent to

All Golden Oak homes boast ample indoor/outdoor living space.

the restaurant is a popular evening gathering spot for residents, who hail from around the globe. Golden Oak provides transportation for homeowners and their guests to and from the parks, a perk somewhat unique to the industry. “Our homeowners are welcomed like guests at a fve star hotel,” said Pierce. Homeowners are privy to unique park access opportunities and events, such as a private chef’s tasting table dinner at a reserved area inside one of the theme parks (with the occasional celebrity guest sprinkled in now and then to keep things lively). “We handle all of the planning so our homeowners don’t have to. Tey can just get on the bus and have fun,” remarked Pierce. Upping the ante even further is the Four Seasons Private Residences, the brand’s first standalone private residence development in the United States. Situated at the “back door” of the resort, homeowners within this enclave have all the amenities of the Golden Oaks plus access to all of the hotel amenities and services, including a private entrance to Explorer Island. “It’s grand but family friendly,” said Baker. Starting at $5 million, these custom residences, ranging in size from 6,000 to over 10,000 square feet, will feature three European-inspired styles

embodying Venetian, Italianate and Spanish Revival architectural precedents. Homeowners will also have the option to include a Four Seasons butler’s pantry, allowing in-home deliveries of everything from groceries to linens, while not permitting staff access to the primary residence. Te Four Seasons will also ofer Private Residence homeowners in-home á la carte services, such as spa treatments, residential cleaning, and in-residence dining and catering for parties. Residents will also have á la carte access to the Kids for All Seasons program for an additional fee. All services and amenities available through Four Seasons Resort Orlando will be overseen by a dedicated Residence Manager. "Homeowners at Golden Oak have the rare opportunity to create unforgettable memories with family and friends for generations to come," said Pierce. It’s in these moments that the Magic Kingdom truly earns its moniker. sl Details: Te Four Seasons Resort Orlando – fourseasons.com/orlando // Disney VIP Tour Services - 407.WOW.TOUR; disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/vip-tourservices // Golden Oak at Walt Disney World Resort - 407.566.5743; disneygoldenoak. com // Four Seasons Private Residences Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort 407.939.5577; orlandoprivateresidences.com

Flight of Fancy: Te Near Perfect French Wine Flight Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier

Francis Egly

For the topic of this article, I gave myself a daunting task – selecting the perfect French wine fight. Reviewing some of the “best of the best” wines from France was very difcult, as they are all top quality, must-have wines. I poured over my notes and picked four favorites. It was harder than I could imagine; I could have easily selected a dozen for the perfect French wine fight. But since I had a self-imposed limit of four, allow me to propose a near fawless and absolutely delicious list of fantastic French wines in several diferent styles. Brut Premier Cru Egly-Ouriet “Les Vignes de Vrigny” NV (Champagne, France) Champagne hails from one of France’s most northern wine producing areas, about 90 miles northeast of Paris. Te region is only about 60,000, acres. If that seems large, consider that the Napa Valley is 225,280 acres. Egly-Ouriet is a “grower producer,” which is to say, unlike many of the large prominent Champagne houses, they grow and produce their Champagne and do not purchase grapes or wine. Tey are a small, quality-driven estate and are noted for ageing their wines longer than required by law and for the age of their vines. Tey follow the philosophy that older vines produces better wines. Champagne can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meuiner grapes. Tis Champagne is very unique

Chambertin Clos de Beze Gerard Raphet

as it is made from 100 percent Pinot Meuiner and is aged 35 months. It is a full-bodied, sparkling wine with the complex flavors of baguette, Mirabelle plums, blackberries, lemon, minerals and ginger. Tis is a great example of Champagne to go with more than appetizers; it would be delectable with rack of lamb. Chambertin Clos de Beze Gerard Raphet 2002 (Burgundy, France) The greatest Pinot Noir on earth comes from Burgundy, and in Burgundy the hierarchy is like a bull’s eye target, going from a larger area to the smallest area, where the price gets larger as the area gets smaller. So, the hierarchy of Burgundy is Regional, Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru. Tis wine is one of only 39 Grand Crus of Burgundy. Burgundy can be one of the most difficult wine areas to understand, which adds to its mystique and interest. It has long been considered the Holy Grail of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; it is what most producers outside of Burgundy compare or contrast their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to. It has more legally defned wine areas than most countries, although a couple of easy things to remember are that white Burgundy is made from Chardonnay and red Burgundy is made from Pinot Noir. Gerard Raphet is a small domaine making extremely high quality wines. This wine comes from a half-acre of 75-yearold vines, a minute production that is worth seeking out. Te wine is medium-bodied and uses 100 percent new oak, but you

Château Petrus (Pomerol)

cannot tell as the crisp, bright raspberry and cherry fruit is not overwhelmed by it. The wine is aromatically complex with a multiplicity of favor seldom found without power. Tis is an elegant wine with the flavors of baking spices, minerals, light smoke and earth, all in an absolutely beguiling silky texture. Chateau Petrus 2000 (Pomerol, France) Tis wine comes from Pomerol, which is located in the region of Bordeaux. Te soil is very unusual for this area. It is almost all sandy-clay, which allows the vines drainage, but it is important as it adds richness and lowers acidity in the wine. This is particularly well-suited for the Merlot grape, which makes up about 95 percent of Petrus’ blend, with the balance being Cabernet Franc. In order to increase the concentration of the wine, yields are extremely low. Petrus’ vineyard workers perform a crop thinning process to remove bunches of grapes so that each remaining bunch can be even more concentrated. Tis drastically reduces the quantity but increases quality. Tis mythical winery produces what is generally considered the greatest Merlot in the world; about 4,000 cases are made annually. Integrated long tannins make this wine soft, silky and polished, and inherently drinkable at a young age but still a compelling full-bodied wine, with the concentrated favors of plums, black cherries, oak, vanilla and spice. It is an elegant, rich

Parcelle Le Pavillon

and beguiling wine that comes from an assuming little chateau that produces one of the world’s best and most expensive wines. Chapoutier Banyuls 2008 (Languedoc-Roussillon, France) Tis is a fortifed wine, fortifed with pure un-aged grape brandy. Te fortifcation halts the fermentation, leaving the wine naturally sweet with its own grape sugar and between 15-20 percent alcohol. If you think there isn’t a better way to finish a delicious dinner than with an excellent dessert, well I say you should consider this luscious dessert wine, which can act as dessert in a glass or the perfect accompaniment to a dessert. If you are doing the latter, be certain to make sure the wine is as least as sweet as the dessert. For if the dessert is sweeter then the wine, the wine will seem sour, and in truth very few wines go with a dessert that is over-the-top in sweetness. Made from 100 percent Grenache Noir, this is a medium purple-red colored wine with the favors of raspberries, cherries, blackberries, chocolate, baking spice and red anise, all deliciously sweet in a full body. Tis is the wine for chocolate, just be sure the chocolate is not too sweet. Michel Chapoutier is the owner and winemaker of this famed Rhône winery that branches out in the Banyuls region in the South of France to make this fortifed wine. It is packaged with a Braille label. sl A Certifed Wine Educator, Harper is one of 140 professionals in North America and 220 worldwide who have earned the title Master Sommelier.

A GRAND ADVENTURE Experiencing the Grand Canyon from rim-to-river on a seven-day rafing trip with Western River Expeditions Written and Photographed by Bridget Williams Lava Falls. The mother-of-all rapids in the Grand Canyon had been lurking in our collective consciousness ever since we disembarked in the tranquil waters of the Colorado River at Lee’s Ferry, mile zero of our 188-mile, seven-day rafting adventure with Western River Expeditions late last summer. Up to this point I’d spent the previous fve days with my head cocked back like a Pez dispenser stuck on open – the antithesis to my normal cell-phone gazing stance – trying to comprehend the magnifcent and nearly incomprehensible grandeur and scope of this world wonder. As if the scene were scripted, there was a clap of thunder and a lone dark cloud unleashed a torrent of rain just as the roiling waters of the rapid came into sight. A herd of big horn sheep, the most we'd seen all week, clustered along the river's edge as though they were jostling for the best view of the potential carnage. I could have sworn I heard Te Ride of the Valkyries playing. "Suck rubber!” our guide exclaimed with more emphasis than at any other point on our journey, and I, along with the 58 slmag.net

seven other brave souls straddling the banana-shaped rubber tubes at the front of the raft, clenched the ropes with all our might, lowered our torsos, kissed the rubber like it was our one true love and hoped for the best. In less time that it takes to type this sentence, we were back in tranquil waters – though, at least for me, my heart was still lodged in the back of my throat. A quick head count to confrm all were accounted for was followed by a chorus of cheers to release the pent-up adrenaline from such an exhilarating ride. To be honest, deciding how best to fully express my awe in the space allotted for this story proved to be a daunting task, that after several rewrites seemed best likened to squeezing the proverbial camel through the eye of a needle. The beauty and vastness of the landscape aside, there were a million soul-stirring moments aforded by a rafting and camping experience such as this, and I worried that my simple words on paper might fall short in conveying their impact.

Sleeping under the vastness of a pitch-black night sky, seeking out familiar constellations among a billion pinpoints of light; bathing in the ice-cold water of the Colorado River or a gentle waterfall; stufng ourselves silly at every meal on food so tasty it was hard to imagine that it was prepared in a makeshift kitchen set up on a riverbank from perishable goods stored under a raft; watching the endlessly fascinating interplay of light and shadow on the towering canyon walls; hearing stories of the roughnecks and renegades from past generations who tempted fate by running the very same rapids in vessels I’d be nervous to launch in a pond; becoming friends with people from all walks of life who’d been strangers when we started the journey; being forcefully disconnected from technology for a week; and tackling my fear of heights are just a few of the indelible memories. 60 slmag.net

Founded in 1961, Western River Expeditions is the largest licensed outftter in the Grand Canyon. Each of their 60 licensed guides completes 300 hours of training in swift water rescue certifcation, CPR and First Aid Certifcation, a state licensing test, food handler's education, on-river cooking courses, geology and interpretation classes, and Western's renowned custom guide-training program before escorting his or her frst guest down the river. We met our guides and fellow travelers at Lee’s Ferry, an area that served as an important river crossing starting in the mid-19th century up until construction of the Navajo and Glen Canyon bridges. Here, at the northernmost end of Grand Canyon National Park, the Colorado River is much calmer than the waters that lie above and below. Prior to the trip we were given a detailed itinerary and packing list (note: even though you think it’s August in Arizona and you’ll be plenty warm enough, don’t forget your raingear).

We learned how to pack our dry bags and loaded our gear and ourselves onto the J-Rig rafts for a safety talk as we foated down the tranquil waters. While this is a fully supported trip, there is plenty of hands-on activity, from gripping the ropes of the raft and holding on for dear life, to helping unload the kitchen and campsite equipment each night as part of a fire line and setting up and taking down your tent each day. Being among those who thought there was no way I could possibly experience cold on a summer's day in Arizona, a dousing splash from the frst rapid we encountered taught me otherwise, and I quickly made a beeline to retrieve my raingear, which I donned faithfully every day thereafter." Lunch was had at Redwall Cavern, a vast limestone cave whose opening reminded me of a whale shark with its mouth agape. Te soft sand within provided cool respite from the blazing

sun and an ideal spot for a game of Frisbee. Te remainder of the day was spent riding a few “warm-up” rapids, each of which has an accompanying anecdote, before stopping at our frst campsite for the night and the moment the less “outdoorsy” folks in the group had been anticipating with a little dread. Feeling adventurous (even after spending a good deal of time pondering a very hairy tarantula that seemed to venture out of his subterranean home each time I wandered by), we decided to eschew a tent and sleep under the stars, finding the “perfect” spot on a rock outcropping near the river’s edge. All was perfect until a sprinkle turned into a steady rain and we spent the remainder of the night huddled under a plastic tarp hastily thrown across the branches of a scrubby bush. Any hint of lingering drowsiness was quickly eradicated by my morning bath; I could linger in the frigid water just long enough to lather up, run out and catch my breath, and run back in for a rinse.

slmag.net

From day two onward, we fell into a comfortable rhythm. Periods of tranquil water were interspersed with rapids of varying intensity. Sprinkled in-between were pit stops to explore magical places like Hidden Elves Chasm, Deer Creek Falls and Havasu Canyon. At the latter I found myself in a precipitous state of being frozen in fear while trying to navigate a narrow path that meandered along the edge of a several-hundred foot drop deep within Havasu Canyon. Lured by the promise of a Shangri-la-like experience in the arid environs, I’d written of our guide’s very frank description of this section of the trail, jauntily traversing boulders along the steep ascent that took us 62 slmag.net

high above the river. Time seemed to stand still as I allowed the others in the group, who were unafected by what I viewed as certain death, to pass me by so I could will my feet to inch along this tricky section of the trail. Guide Mackay Crabbe patiently spurred me on by promising a special treat the other’s missed as they hurried by. After what seemed like an eternity, I traversed the tricky spot. As I stopped to catch my breath, Crabbe directed my gaze high on an opposing rock to where the ghostly outlines of a series of ancient pictograph handprints were visible. As an ardent admirer of Southwest culture and archaeology, I considered it my reward for a job well done.

slmag.net

Each night our campsite was unique and somewhat random; while our guides had an idea of where they planned to stop for the night, multiple variables factored into where we actually ended up. One thing was for certain: we never went hungry. Anticipating mediocre camp food, I was in awe of the multicourse, restaurant-quality meals we were served. Prawns, Caprese salad, thick-cut steak, barbequed chicken, grilled rainbow trout and even ice cream, were a few of the all-you-could-eat oferings available. Each morning I looked forward to a hearty breakfast, washed down with a strong cup of “campfre cofee,” as a surefre way to jumpstart my day. Lunch was a more casual, though no less hearty afair, during which I learned that peanut butter and jelly and jalapenos rolled into a tortilla is quite tasty. Te sun was the director of our days. With no electricity to extend our outdoor activities, as the shadows grew longer and daylight waned, we bid our travel mates adieu and headed to our 64 slmag.net

respective campsites. As the frst rays of dawn lurched over the canyon walls, the chorus of sounds created by breakfast being prepared served as our wakeup call. On our last evening, following the wild ride provided by Lava Falls, I waded into a deep eddy for my fnal bath in the frigid water. I let the gentle current pour over me, while turning 360 degrees to capture a mental picture of this moment, hoping to make it an indelible one before an impending feeling of numbness in my lower extremities fnally forced my exit from the water. We exited the canyon at mile 188 in grand fashion – via helicopter – that took us to Bar 10 Ranch where a warm shower awaited us. Te shower was greatly appreciated; the Wi-Fi access and the more than 1,500 emails received while I was away, not so much. sl For more information about Western River Expeditions, including rates and availability for their Grand Canyon rafting trips, visit westernriver.com.

CHEF BEN LIERMAN FIRES UP LEE’S LEARNING KITCHEN A customized approach to the culinary arts Written by Neil Charles Photography by Adam Gibson Ever since Paleolithic man first dredged a piece of lean meat in seasoned almond four and sautéed it in extra virgin coconut oil over an open fame, our cooking methods and tools have become increasingly sophisticated and specialized with each passing century. Today, thanks to a plethora of technological advances, one person can make in the kitchen within minutes what it would have taken a small army of cooks hours to accomplish just a few generations ago. Food processors, convection ovens, immersion circulators and gadgets too numerous to mention have all contributed to ease and accuracy in the modern kitchen, enabling us to try increasingly complex recipes and, one would hope, to prepare them more successfully. But does a kitchen equipped with all the bells and whistles necessarily enable one to produce better-tasting food? Like everything else in life, the food we cook is only as good as the weakest component; in other words, if you are a mediocre cook, no amount of high-tech equipment is going to make your food taste any better. Enter Ben Lierman, seasoned culinary professional and one-of-a-kind chef in residence at Kitchen and Bath Supply Studios by Lee in Carmel. A graduate of Johnson and Wales in Providence, Lierman spent most of his career working in hotels and restaurants in Rhode Island and Illinois before bringing his considerable skills to Carmel, where he helps clients decide on the equipment that is best going to suit their culinary and entertaining needs. He sees his role as an extension of Lee’s longstanding commitment to outstanding customer service. “In a regular showroom, a salesperson can be viewed as a threat,” he explains. “I am not a salesperson. My role is to really engage the customer with their concerns in mind. I want it to be about what equipment suits their lifestyle, not about what I would choose for myself.”

With a vast range of kitchen equipment at his fngertips, from 30,000 BTU gas burners to the latest induction ranges and everything in between, the chef puts clients in the enviable position of seeing for themselves how their equipment will function in real life. In addition to the personal tutorials, Lierman ofers a wealth of culinary advice and recipes on his website chefbensays.com. Recipes are downto-earth, with a strong emphasis on freshness and healthy eating. “As somebody who teaches cooking, I don’t want my customers to make many of the same mistakes that some young chefs tend to make,” he says. “I encourage people to make stocks, bake bread, roast a chicken. No one is going to be Charlie Trotter right out of the gate.” sl

RE-ENVISIONING SPACE AT SPIRIT LAKE Designer Julie O’Brien underscores interplay between artwork, fxtures and furnishings Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung Te doctor is wielding a knife, and he looks serious. Serious about cooking, that is. Fortunately for us today, the knife in question is not a scalpel, but a magnifcent Shun Kiritsuke, a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship, and a desirable item in any home cook’s kitchen. A lover of all things beautiful, Dr. Stephen Shideler, dermatologist, is showing us around his elegant Broad Ripple condominium at Spirit Lake, which he has recently fnished renovating with a lot of help from Julie O’Brien, a designer familiar to many of our readers. “I have always been fortunate to live in beautiful locations,” Shideler says, as we admire vistas of the lake and White River from the bedroom windows. “I very much enjoy the views from here.” So enamored of the views is he, in fact, that he has located his bed in the center of the bedroom in order to enjoy them frst thing in the morning upon awakening. Having staked his claim at Spirit Lake as the building was under development, Shideler was able to decorate it to his specifcations from the very outset. “I originally decorated it when it was built, some 20 years ago, and thought it was very well done,” he explains. “Tat was until Julie came along. By then it was due for a makeover anyway.” Te doctor decided to embark upon a complete redo. “I thought then, and I still do, that Julie is the greatest at what she does,” he says. “Te space had become dated, and I thought we could take this opportunity to do something fun. We started work on it two or three years ago.” Constructed, as are many buildings from this era, entirely of concrete and glass, the structure of the unit was by nature quite unforgiving, allowing little relocation of walls and utilities.

“Concrete buildings are very strong,” O’Brien says. “But they are also difcult to work with. In places we had to add track lighting to make use of existing fxtures and wiring. It represented some serious challenges.” In the living room, for instance, a lengthy section of track lighting derives power from two original fxtures, and highlights a louvered bronze barn door by Jason Stillman suspended above a credenza built by Matthew Osborn. Open the doors and, hey presto, this eye-catching bespoke visual element gives way to modern technology in the form of a fat screen television. With a signifcant and admirable collection of modern, mostly abstract, art and contemporary glass sculpture, Shideler, in addition to needing a revamped home, was also looking for a background against which to display his artworks. Rather than using the various rooms as a blank canvas, O’Brien, in a most subtle and understated way, used color in furniture, carpets and wall coverings to highlight elements of the artwork. A bright orange area rug in the sitting room accents orange components in the abstract painting above. Yellow chairs and cushions provide a similar counterpoint. In the living room, the interplay between artwork, carpet and furniture is more complex but visually extremely satisfying. Textures abound: Wall coverings made from hand-crafted textiles lend a tactile quality to a simple hallway, or serve as a complementary backdrop to a Japanese-inspired painting. Troughout the home, a warm cherry foor unites the various color schemes, pulling you efortlessly from one space to the next.

An untitled work by Jason Zickler from Carmel's Evan Lurie Gallery.

Although almost the entire condo has received a facelift, including the master bathroom with its monumental cast glass doors, it is clear that the most important work has been focused on the public spaces. We are especially struck by three pieces: an imposing, statuesque painting entitled Te Matador, which slowly reveals its subject matter the longer one gazes at it; a haunting sculpture of what might be a warriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head in the entrance hall, and a cluster of three ceiling lamps which turn out to be LEDs enclosed in glass spheres, wrapped in silk fabric by Aqua. All of these pieces, and many more dotted around the home, function perfectly well in isolation, but collectively as elements in a larger design, serve to reinforce the creativity, thought and precision of both owner and designer. As befts a man who not only works hard during the day, but also takes his recreation very seriously (the doctor is an avid ballroom dancer and keeps a BMW i8 electric sports car at the ready in his garage), this spectacularly renovated condominium serves not only a marvelous backdrop for his collection of art, but also a restful, contemplative retreat. Next on the to-do list is the kitchen, which, while perfectly functional, and indeed enviable as it stands, could no doubt beneft from the unique vision and design esthetic of Julie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien. sl

THE PERFECT PIZZA Gino Pizzi’s Diavola fres up primo pies Written by Neil Charles Photography by Kelley Jordan We all knew it had to happen sometime. Te only questions were: where and when? And so it was towards the end of last year, with characteristically little fanfare or flourish, that Indy restaurant stalwart Gino Pizzi fnally opened his frst pizzeria, Diavola, on 54th Street, just east of the Monon Trail. Pizzi, who knows as much about Italian food as anyone around here, has been waiting some 30 years for just the right opportunity to return to the roots of international Italian cuisine. “It’s a bucket list thing,” he explains. “I love pizza, and have always wanted to do this.”

slmag.net

A visual feast in the dining room.

The seemingly eternal debate about what does or doesn’t constitute real pizza — who makes the best, who really invented it, and why it all matters — continues to rage unabated. Everyone has their favorite. This humble dish’s ubiquitous popularity, combined with its almost infinite repertoire of styles and favors, makes pizza a food for the ages. Even though its original Neapolitan creators might well have trouble recognizing a gutbusting Chicago deep-dish pie as even a distant relative of their own Margherita, the really brilliant thing about pizza these days is that it is so many things to so many people, regardless of its cultural origins. It has become the ultimate international food that knows no barriers. In spite of pizza’s enduring popularity, however, it was only comparatively recently that the real 94 slmag.net

Neapolitan style (the hands-down sine qua non in my opinion) started to become available in the Indianapolis market. Within the past decade, Neal Brown’s Pizzology and Martha Hoover’s Napolese have introduced local diners to the pleasure of properly made, Naples-style pizza — and have done it extremely well. Other establishments have tried and failed, in large part because this particular beast is not easily mastered; one does not simply throw an assortment of toppings onto a prefabricated crust and bung it in the oven for a few minutes. With Neapolitan pizza, the bread is paramount; the toppings are essentially the icing on the cake, so to speak. If your taste runs exclusively to college campus pies served in cardboard boxes, then Naples-style is probably not for you.

A trio of pizza pies (from left): Te Parma with prosciutto, parmagiano and arugula; Te Contadina with artichokes, roasted mushrooms, roasted peppers and basil; and the Diavola with for di latte, spicy soppressata and basil.

Diavola is nestled between the studios of Jean Easter and Walter Knabe in space formerly home to the restaurant Zest at 1134 E. 54th Street. The modern and inviting interior is immediately recognizable as a Gino Pizzi joint. Open in concept, with clear sightlines in every direction, well-separated tables, moody pools of light and striking yet tasteful artwork, the room sets a warm and inviting tone for a relaxed evening of wining and dining. Like its sister restaurant, Ambrosia, Diavola is also kid-friendly. A variety of popular Italian dishes, including the famous meatballs, and my perennial favorite, the Caprino (baked goat’s cheese), are available for those not necessarily inclined towards pizza. One not-so-subtle difference between this and the dozen or so other Pizzi establishments we have enjoyed over the years:

98 slmag.net

the enormous, customized Marra Forni forced air oven that you almost run into upon entering the restaurant. My frst thought is of a brightly colored, fre-breathing dragon. A dragon that spits out perfectly cooked pizzas in 90 seconds fat. If you are into such things, this is the appliance every self-respecting suburban kitchen should have, if only there was adequate space and suitable ventilation. “We didn’t want to overly complicate things by getting into wood, “ explains Pizzi. The gas-fired behemoth churns out a blistering 100,000 BTUs and can cook 110 pizzas per hour. Diavola is home to the only Marra Forni oven in Indiana, not surprising considering the oven’s price tag. Te results, however, speak for themselves, more than justifying the expense.

Polpette: Homemade meatballs, Pomodoro sauce and Parmagiano Reggiano.

Citrus-Infused Italian Ricotta Cheesecake

Fashioned from 100 percent Antimo Caputo 00 four from Naples, the finest pizza flour in the world, Diavolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crust is a thing of complexity and beauty. Firm to the bite, yet airy and light; sufciently chewy to give the jaws some exercise, but never doughy, slightly charred on the edges, but not exactly burnt, this is as close as you will get to the real thing short of crossing the Atlantic. Pizza chef Felix Mendoza tops his bready creations with carefully chosen ingredients in just the right proportions to ensure that the crust gets an even rise, and that the dough never becomes soggy in the middle. Tomatoes also hail from Naples: Containing a higher concentration of solids than most and a perfect acid balance, they make for an outstanding sauce. Picking a favorite pizza from the dozen or so on the menu (you can also build your own, but I prefer to leave it to the professionals) is rather like picking your favorite bottle of wine. Te Margherita, of course, is something of a classic, the great100 slmag.net

grandma of all things pizza; this one is particularly fine. Just sauce, cheese and basil, none of it slathered or piled up, just enough of everything to provide the perfect interplay of taste, texture, color and aroma. Less traditional, but equally successful is the Parma, which comes with a white sauce, prosciutto and arugula. I like to munch on this one New York style: sliced and folded, then eaten like a sandwich. To finish, try one of many desserts, including a light and fluffy tiramisu or mouthwatering Italian lemons and oranges stufed with their own sorbet. Though carry-out is available, the eat-in experience is pure pleasure. The best way to enjoy this perfect synthesis of flour, tomatoes and cheese is from a table in view of the magnifcent oven that makes it all possible, pizza in hand, smile on face. sl Diavola, located at 1134 E. 54th St., 820.5100. Open 5-9 p.m. Sunday through Tursday and 5-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. For more information, visit diavola.net.

SOIREE DE SALUD

Timmy Global Health is an Indianapolis organization that delivers the promise of healthy futures worldwide. On March 11, Timmy hosted its 13th annual fundraiser, “A Soiree de Salud,” at the Conrad Hotel in Indianapolis. More than 365 guests attended the event and enjoyed cocktails, silent and live auctions, live music from budding local musician Jesse Kramer, and special programming. Te Conrad prepared a one-of-a-kind menu for the evening, featuring items like a seared mahi mahi with Guatemalan succotash, all inspired by traditional recipes from the international communities that are touched by Timmy’s programming. For the charity, the highlight of the evening was the fund-a-need appeal. Timmy had set a goal to raise $40,000 to hire two Ecuadorian physicians to provide yearround care to underserved patients in the Amazon Basin. By the end of the evening, the special appeal had met and surpassed that goal, topping of at just over $51,000.
