From the Editor-In-Chief
While the Sophisticated Living brand has been around for over a decade, I have been at the helm in Cincinnati for 4 years now. It has been a huge learning curve as to the inner workings of the print business, marketing strategies, and putting together editorial content that appeals to the masses. The fun aspects are always putting together the stories and content for everyone to enjoy. Food is always a no-brainer. I’ve shared some family recipes, we’ve gone to Findlay Market in 2017, taken a look at new cocktails at some of the best bars in town, and of course visit some of the top restaurants in the tri-state area. This issue is no exception. We were delighted to partner with Tano Williams and his wife Gina at their chef owned and operated Bistro in Loveland. Tano’s Bistro has a great little story and has overcome huge adversity over the last couple of years, having burned down and been completely rebuilt. We felt it pertinent for our cover story, not to mention the food is outstanding and photographs exceptionally well. We hope you all are able to make it over to visit them and sample some really great food and support this revitalized establishment. Tano’s we hope will become a Loveland staple for decades to come. Another aspect especially close to my own heart is our interior and home features. Fashion and design are always at the forefront of consumer goods and marketing dollars spent each year. What I have seen is that interior décor trends proceed and often influence fashion trends. I have found that new accent colors in home décor fabrics often find themselves as the hot new colors in fashion. Over the last 4 years we have been able to capture some really amazing homes in the tri-state area. For this issue I wanted to do something a little different and take a peek back at some of my favorite projects and images from our home features presented this issue in our feature, “Homes Worth Revisiting”. As always, we would love to hear what new restaurants and fabulous homes you’re interested in seeing. Please e-mail me directly at matthew@slmag.net if you ever have any ideas.

THE LYRICAL MAGIC THAT IS TANO BISTRO
Chef Gaetano Williams Orchestrates a Fresh New Approach to Food Written by Sheree Allgood / Photography by Andrew Kung In speaking with Chef Gaetano (Tano) Williams of Tano Bistro in Loveland, one is immediately struck by the resolute commitment this most talented man has to food. Passion and dedication to his art waft through the air like the delightful kitchen aromas accompanying each dish presented at table. The story of Tano is well-known in these parts, both the chef and his namesake Bistro. The man came from the corporate restaurant world, a transfer in that industry brought him to Cincinnati. A desire to have their own business again drove Tano and his wife, Gina, to begin a catering operation out of their home. In 2009 they renovated the former Sparks Hardware in the quaint locale of downtown Loveland, offering seating for 44. The following year they expanded, adding a bar and patio. Tano Bistro was off and running, embraced by the locals and fast becoming known for its fabulous, artfully curated menu. On May 28, 2017 the unimaginable occurred when a huge conflagration engulfed the Bistro and the adjoining apartment building. Undaunted, the Williamses picked up the proverbial gauntlet, and with the support of the Loveland community and a dedicated and motivated staff, the restaurant rose from the ashes, 22 slmag.net
a burnished and urbane revival of its former self. It is a beautiful space with an inviting bar, a gleaming yet comfortably casual dining room, a second-floor space well-appointed for corporate and private events, and a relaxed new roof top bar. While a devastating fire in and of itself would have pushed most chef/owners out of the food business, Chef Tano says in the months of rebuilding the Bistro, he reflected and re-tooled many if the traditional ways in which to approach his menu, his suppliers, and most importantly, how to ensure his food remained fresh and clean. He wanted to guarantee that he could deliver “good quality food to a good quality customer” yet ensure that his Bistro was not intimidating, and his prices were approachable. Which as a matter of course leads us to the delectable food which is the embodiment of this very talented chef and his exquisite bistro. A fascinating part of Chef Tano’s elegant and unique turn as a chef is that his path in life was as a concert pianist, and it is undeniable that there is decided rhythm in the way his tastes, textures and flavors flow into sweet melody. Everything he does seems to resonate with all the correct elements in tasty harmony.

The first sweet note to begin our Tano Bistro experience should begin in its fabulous bar. Tano’s hosts a Happy Hour with a Purpose from 3 pm – 7 pm Monday through Friday. During our visit, the said purpose was the Loveland Sustainability Council. To be sure, it is a killer happy hour, with delicious $6 craft cocktails including a Bistro Margarita, the Blackberry Horse Run with gin, blackberry simple syrup and prosecco, the Little Miami Lemon Drop, and a beautifully boozy Arnold Palmer send-up with bourbon, lemon juice, fresh smashed mint, iced tea and Cointreau. There is a Bar Bites menu offered at Happy Hour as well, and it includes chorizo flavored Mussels, Tempura Cauliflower, Bistro Burger Sliders made with outrageously delicious 5 Points Ranch Water Buffalo (more on this special source later), and Grown Up Tater Tots served with bacon, cheddar scallion and sriracha cream. Happy Hour at Tano’s also offers discounts on beer, wine and well liquors. Signature cocktails separate from the Happy Hour menu are worthy of sampling as well. Their names are as outrageous and

fun as the drink: The Heat of Ohio is a gob- smacker powerhouse with jalapeno tequila, cucumber, lime, a dash of tabasco, and a sugar-limed rim; the Hibiscus Hemmingway is a little bit of Cuba with rum, maraschino, grapefruit and hibiscus syrup; and the piece de resistance, the Interactive-tini, which actually changes hue with the squeeze of a lemon. The indigo to blue to a deep lavendercolored cocktail is made with butterflypea flower-infused vodka, canton, honey and lemon. The beer selection has a variety of local favorites, but I highly recommend what is being brewed at Narrow Path brewery next door. The Pathinator is especially delicious. And for the wine lover, the there is a good mix of affordable and flavorful vintages and some exquisite higher-end bottles. For the true wine connoisseur, Chef Tano occasionally presents precision Wine Dinners where he divines the myriad wine levels to ensure they match perfectly with the food selections he so carefully studies. I understand these are incredibly enlightening evenings, and I personally look forward to diving into this experience.

The food selections at Tano Bistro are truly unsurpassed. It is deeply important to Chef Tano that he serve locally grown, seasonal food that is responsibly sourced. He has teamed with likeminded purveyors with such as Five Points Ranch for buffalo and dairy, Kuck Farms who have been operating a poultry farm since 1913, Carriage House Farms, a registered Ohio Sesquicentennial farm that produces whole and milled grains, honey, and foraged fruits and veggies, Springer Mountain Chicken, Braveheart Beef and Allegiance Pork. As Chef Tano puts it, in his perfect world, “…the farmer and the chef are tied together at the hip…” and together they can produce beautiful, unmodified food. There are many more committed sources the Bistro uses, and they and their fascinating stories can be found on the Tano Bistro website. Sharable selections at Tano varied and complex, and are a fabulous way to begin a meal or perhaps indulge in a quick bite with a signature cocktail. The Baked Brie is glorious and deeply rich…a triple cream brie topped with a bourbon, cherry
and apple compote, served with house focaccia and drizzled with a house made balsamic. The Tuna Poke is also a multidimensional offering, a savory ahi tuna with poke sauce, oyster mushrooms, cucumber, wakame salad with a wasabi ginger aioli and finished on top with a fried wonton. A new item featured is Mofongo, a Puerto Rican dish with crispy octopus, smoked pork belly, a flavorful mash of plantain, house-made chicken bone broth, and spicy pikliz. The Garden selection has two outstanding selections we tasted (assuredly, the ones not tasted are equally flavorful and fresh). The Brussel Kale Salad was exceptionally good, a mélange of kale, crispy brussel sprouts, roasted poblanos, carrots and cucumbers with a sesame sweet chili vinaigrette. The Octopus Salad is a new addition and it too is fresh and innovative, with dense delicious layers including edamame, garbanzo bean, wakame, Tuscan kale, arugula, red onion, carrot and wasabi vinaigrette, and topped with lovely, lightly crisped octopus.

Strawberry Rhubarb Cloud, Strawberry Mousse, Vanilla Rhubarb Compote, Rhubarb Chips, Vanilla Angel Food Cake, Strawberry Ice Cream & a Drizzle of Balsamic Reduction
A star attraction not to be missed on an outing to Tano Bistro is the 5 Points Ranch Water Buffalo Burger. This incredible sandwich is something Chef Tano is extremely proud to serve, not only for its flavor, but because it is healthier than beef. The water buffalo are entirely grass fed, and the meat itself has a lower fat content but a higher moisture content making it lean and delicious. The burger is served in a traditional way with lettuce, tomato, fried onion, pickle, cheddar cheese, and topped with a horseradish aioli. The Main Event are the extraordinary entrées that have been created and refined to perfection over the years by Chef Tano. The Skuna Bay Stuffed Salmon is a beautiful piece of salmon, stuffed with sweet crab, with brie, whipped potatoes, asparagus, and finished with a lemon beurre blanc and chives. The Springer Mountain Chicken is incredible, an amped up version of Nashville chicken. This half-fried chicken sits atop a sweet potato hash with baby kale, bacon and sriracha honey and is topped with sesame seeds. It is the perfect combination of sweet and savory, spice, crunchy and tender. The Braveheart Filet Mignon also is elevated by Tano’s genius. This beauty is served on a bacon, onion and gruyere gratin, accompanied with blistered tomatoes, asparagus, and topped with a horseradish truffle butter. The Frenched Pork Chop was deliciously prepared to juicy perfection, a delightful smoky rub locked in the sweetness of this lovely cut, and the chop was served on cheddar Geechie Boys grits with hot
apple slaw and bacon vinaigrette. Be sure to ask about any daily specials, as these are both fabulous and fleeting. Plan on being tempted by dessert, and please indulge or you will regret it. Desserts change frequently. However, if these are on the menu, I highly recommend the Strawberry Rhubarb Cloud, which is incredibly light and creamy. This mouthful is also an eyeful with strawberry mousse, a vanilla rhubarb compote, rhubarb chips, vanilla angel food cake, strawberry cream ice cream, and a drizzle of balsamic reduction. The Lemon Raspberry Panna cotta is also a work of art, and a light delight with lemon chiffon cake topped with a custardy lemon panna cotta, and topped with lemon curd filled raspberries, honeycomb, candied lemon peel and drizzled with a raspberry sauce. For the chocolate lover, the Blood Orange Mousse is the perfect combination of citrus and chocolate. There is much, much more to said about Tano Bistro but I encourage you to visit this convivial place with friends, many friends, so you can share and sample this tremendous assemblage flavors and fabulous food. The best news of all is Chef Tano will be opening a second location in Hamilton this summer, and will be bringing his tasty talent to even more foodies in the Greater Cincinnati area. sl Tano Bistro Loveland 204 West Loveland Avenue, Loveland, OH 45140, (513) 683-8266 Hours: Monday – Thursday 11 a.m. – 10 p.m., Friday – Saturday 11 a.m. – 11 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. COMING SOON - Tano Bistro Hamilton 150 Riverfront Plaza, Hamilton, Ohio 45011, (513) 683-8266

A DREAM REALIZED Legendary Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina unveils Battista, the world’s first pure electric hyper performance GT Written by Andre James / Photos courtesy of Pininfarina SpA When its sensuous shape was unveiled amid much fanfare at a gala VIP event on the eve the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show, Pininfarina’s Battista arguably became the world’s most covetable all-electric hypercar. No more than 150 will be handbuilt in Italy, with first deliveries scheduled for 2020, to coincide with the 90th anniversary of the legendary Pininfarina SpA design house, founded by Battista “Pinin” Farina. “ This is genuinely a dream come true,” said Paolo Pininfarina, Chairman, Pininfarina SpA. “My grandfather always had the vision that one day there would be a stand-alone range of Pininfarina-branded cars. This hypercar will boast world-beating performance, technological innovation and of course elegant styling. For me, we simply had to call it Battista. 36 slmag.net
His dream becomes reality as we link our glorious past with the future of motoring.” The triumvirate of Battista models presented at the world premiere were developed under the guidance of a dream team of automotive experts that have been integral to the launches of cars such as the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron, Ferrari Sergio, Lamborghini Urus, McLaren P1, Mercedes AMG-Project One, Pagani Zonda and Porsche Mission E. Both the monocoque chassis and body are comprised of carbon fiber. The T-shaped 120 kWh battery pack is configured with four motors that independently distribute torque and power to each wheel, thereby delivering all the benefits of modern torque vectoring. Cooling circuits and systems are based around five radiators.
Conjoining extreme performance with zero emissions, the roadlegal Battista will be faster than a current Formula 1 race car; its 1,900hp engine enables a 0-60mph sprint in under two seconds. With an estimated range of more than 200 miles per charge, the all-wheel drive Battista will offer five different drive modes for a range of scenarios. An on-board sound program will allow the driver to tailor the noise the Battista makes, focusing on vehicle hardware, rather than artificial sounds, to generate acoustic entertainment. Beefy carbon-ceramic 6-piston brakes provide fade-free deceleration and battery regeneration. “The Battista represents purity, beauty and rarity, and a vision for sustainability that appeals to the heart as much as the head,” said Michael Perschke, CEO, Automobili Pininfarina. “Electrification unlocks the door to a new level of performance
and a zero-emissions future, whilst a passion and respect for automotive history will define how this landmark car looks and feels. We aim for the Battista to be a future classic and automotive icon, writing its own page in automotive history books.” While Pininfarina presented a trio of specifications in bespoke colors, there will be a high level of customization, with lucky buyers working closing with designers at the factory in Cambiano. The company plans to split sales equally among Europe, North America and the rest of the world. Joining the elite club of Battista owners comes with a $2 million+ price tag (official pricing wasn’t available as of press time), a figure that hasn’t deterred the cognoscenti of cars in the United States, who have already reserved more than half of the continent’s allocation. sl

Helena Bay Lodge offers luxury villa accomodations for a maximum of five couples at a time.
IN PERFECT HARMONY A well-orchestrated experience awaits at Helena Bay Lodge Written by Bridget Williams If we’re lucky, our lives are sprinkled with “pinch me” moments, those blissful instances when life almost seems too good to be true. During my five divine days at Helena Bay Lodge in New Zealand, these enchanted occasions occurred in symphonic succession; the cadence of each day an undulating arc of crescendos interluded with moments of quiet contemplation. Arriving via the resort’s own Westland AW109S Grand helicopter was an overture to our adventure; the 40-minute flight from Auckland allowed us to ogle the North Island’s spindly spines of verdant peaks that settle into rolling farmland before dissolving into white-sand beaches. We were greeted at the landing pad by a bevy of staff members, among them affable general manager and Scotsman Neil McFarlane. Prior to assuming the top spot at Helena Bay, McFarlane spent more than a decade working as a yacht captain for 42 slmag.net
Helena Bay’s owner. Other staff members were also plucked from the world of luxury yachting, so service is always shipshape. Boasting two miles of pristine coastline as part of its 800 acres, Helena Bay opened in November 2016, following six years of construction. Devised to host no more than five couples (or a private group) in spacious villa suites, the property is operated like a private residence. The architecture doesn’t try to fit within a prescribed theme, although inspiration was culled locally from early 19th century buildings, such as Pompallier House in Russell and The Treaty House in Waitangi. From the moment of arrival, you are aware that this is a highly personal endeavor, and nothing is a result of happenstance. For instance, a walkway leading to the pier appears to be carved into the craggy coastline; it wasn’t until someone pointed out that it is molded and colored concrete made to the owner’s specifications, that I was able to discern the doppelgänger.
The property around the resort is a mix of forest and farmland.
The 800-acre property boasts four private beaches.

A pair of monumental works by Joan Miró bookend the fireplace in the main house's gathering room.
Public spaces in the main house highlight Blue Chip artworks from the owner’s personal collection. Some are instantly recognizable, like a pair of monumental works by Joan Miró bookending the fireplace in the gathering room, while others that weren’t created by household names are equally beguiling. Per the owner’s directive, you won’t find identifiers near any of the artworks to prevent a sterile gallery aura from permeating the haute-homey environs. Counted among the communal areas for guests within the main house is a single massage room, and a compact and very well-equipped gym overlooking the heated pool. An exquisite mosaic-tiled sauna and steam room with a cold plunge pool is quite an elaborate amenity for a property of this size. It took one year to painstakingly place the 1.2-million mosaic tiles. A library, formal and informal dining areas and covered terraces in the main house provide plenty of room for guests to lounge in privacy. Taking a moment to study the level of detail inherent in each space underscores both sumptuous and subtle details, such as the replication of the property’s logo in the hefty ceiling molding. While the overarching aesthetic is eclectic, discernable touches of sparkle are sprinkled throughout, from the silver metallic threads in the plush Feiler chenille bath towels in 44 slmag.net
guest villas, to crystal sconces and chandeliers in the main house. Mother Nature is even in on the act, as the calm waters of the bay shimmer in the sunlight. In spite of the upscale accoutrements, this is not a place that takes itself too seriously. Waiting to be discovered throughout the grounds are a pair of larger-than-life-sized sculptures of bulldogs donning sweaters, a 15-foot-tall bronze King Kong tucked into the trees, oversized anthropomorphic vases, and a splatter-painted cow sculpture placed alongside a hiking trail, among other whimsical creations. Guest villas with oceanfront terraces are clustered to follow the gently curving contours of the Helena Bay beach. In-room backpacks stored in the walk-in closet are pre-filled with essentials for a day on the trails, including a water bottle, a property map with a guide to local flora and fauna, and a pair of Leica binoculars. Waiting outside the entrance of each villa are pairs of wellies sized for each guest, so that inclement weather won’t scuttle any planned exploring. Each villa’s super-sized bathroom incorporates mid-century-inspired accent tiles, and a complete suite of Alton Brown products, including room fragrance and a jasmine face wash. A well-stocked minibar features a complimentary selection of New Zealand colas, juices and snacks.
There are miles of well-groomed hiking and mountain biking trails on property.
Marsden Winery
Visiting Tantalus Estate Winery via helicopter
Miles of well-marked and groomed hiking and mountain biking trails fan out from the resort. I spent several hours each day exploring the varied landscape. There are steep windswept hillsides that boast a “ruffled” appearance from afar, thanks to the repetitive plod of Angus cattle who seem to defy gravity as they graze on the slopes; the mingling of guttural moos with seabird sirens creates a unique soundtrack. The naked hills transition into dense forest so enchanting you fully expect a unicorn to peek out from its hiding place behind a giant fern. Four private beaches, some easier to reach than others, are dotted with Seussical-like Pohutakawa trees. There are five PA sites (former fortifications made by the native Maori people) on the estate. If you aren’t feeling fleet of foot, there are several electric 4wd Polaris Rangers at the ready for exploring. Other on-property amenities include a sporting clay range; performance-oriented mountain and electric bikes; a lighted turf tennis court; kayaks and paddleboards; fishing from the dock; and farm tours, where you can visit with laughable llamas, adorable miniature pigs, chickens, goats, donkeys, and Blue and Patch, the property’s energetic and friendly farm dogs. Venture into the reef waters of Helena Bay on the property’s own pontoon boat to fish for snapper, hāpuka, and kingfish. For
those wanting to voyage further offshore, the resort can arrange deep-sea charters to fish for marlin, tuna and swordfish. You can bring “keepers” back to the resort for dinner, or follow our lead and enjoy your catch sashimi-style while still on the boat. At press time, the finishing touches were being put on the resort’s new private yacht—a Dickey Boats Semifly 45—which guests will be able to charter for everything from a romantic cruise to deep sea diving. As wonderful as all of these accoutrements are, the real star of the show, in my opinion, is the farm and culinary program. Dining at Helena Bay Lodge is a 5-star experience that only guests are privy to. Executive Chef Michele Martino, a native of Puglia, hails from Italy’s celebrated Michelin-starred Ristorante Don Alfonso 1890. Chef Martino goes to the garden each morning to inform the menu, which follows principles of the Mediterranean diet; in season, 80 percent of what appears on the menu is sourced on property. “As a chef, our passion starts in the soil. It is the beautiful part of my job, and a dream to be able to decide the menu based on what’s ready,” he said. He added that even a simple salad can be special when it’s made with the right ingredients. Foodie-focused guests are invited to join the chef on his morning garden expeditions. slmag.net

A heated swimming pool is one of the spa amenities in the main house.

Ingredients that aren’t grown onsite are regularly flown in from Italy, making them unique to both New Zealand and Australia. Chef also collaborates with farm staff to grow Italian varieties of certain vegetables, which often requires mitigating soil and climate differences between the continents. “You get a true taste of Italy because of the ingredients,” Martino explained. After taking part in a garden expedition, we returned back to the resort’s living room, where Chef Martino demonstrated how he prepared Spaghetti alla Nerano, a classic Italian pasta dish with fried zucchini. Bite after bite had me pondering how a dish with so few ingredients could be so beautiful and tasty. A master of simplicity who approaches his craft with friendly ease, Chef Martino pointed out that cooking with fewer ingredients is more difficult because you can’t hide bad technique beneath overwrought sauces or seasonings.
For an extra-special treat outside of dinner, request a picnic lunch at the private Mohei Pavilion on Mohei Bay. The brave of heart can reach the secluded beach by kayaking, which challenges you to avoid ocean swells by maneuvering around jagged rock outcroppings. Unique excursions that can be arranged include winery hopping via helicopter, and a Middle Earth, Fly + Dine Experience, a day-long tour that includes finding thousands of luminescent glow worms in caves at Waitomo, followed by a private tour and lunch at Hobbiton to see the remnants of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movie sets. It is one of many other-worldly experiences made possible by an out-of-this-world resort. Rates at Helena Bay Lodge begin at $1,835/night for double occupancy. All accommodations include breakfast, happy hour drinks and dinner. For more information and reservations visit helenabay.com. sl slmag.net

RIGHTING THE SHIP
A quest for physical and mental wellbeing at Miraval Arizona Written by Caylee Matthews The notion that even the strongest coat of armor can occasionally benefit from some reinforcement was what brought me to Miraval Resort near the Santa Catalina Mountains in Tucson, Arizona. Although I was initially skeptical about what I would get out of the experience, the timing of my stay coincided with a number of major life changes, and in short order I was crying, laughing and high-fiving perfect strangers, all of whom came here, to this safe and beautiful place, seeking clarity, comfort and self-care. Over the course of three days, I discovered that the ability to open myself to share raw emotional experiences with others is both humbling and empowering. A wellness retreat trailblazer, the 400-acre resort marked its 20th anniversary in 2016 with a multi-million-dollar renovation of its 118 casually elegant casitastyle guest accommodations, a new state-of-the-art fitness center, redesigned retail space, a new juice bar, a re-imagined welcome experience, and revamped Brave Bill lounge. The expansive Life in Balance Spa debuted in 2012. Miraval Arizona was founded under the premise that life is more meaningful and enjoyable when physical, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual components are in balance. Whereas other wellness retreats with similar intents may require guests to adhere to a prescribed agenda, at Miraval, guests are free to choose their own path to wellbeing. I fully embraced this concept by choosing fitness-related activities that fell well within my comfort zone, along with a host of classes that fell far outside of it, such as Forgiveness Meditation, Dance of Gratitude, and Native American drumming. I literally didn’t have enough hours in each day to participate in all of the activities that appealed to me. Arriving late in the afternoon, I had a hot second to appreciate both the lushly landscaped grounds, and the amenities of my 800-square-foot Miraval Suite (gas fireplace, mountain-view terrace, cloudlike bed, and soaking tub in the bathroom), before my first scheduled activity, a two-hour evening challenge course experience led by guest instructor Matt Walker, a life coach who utilizes adventure experiences to facilitate self-improvement.

Quantum Leap Experience
Our group of ten women paired off and took turns climbing a wobbly 35-foot pole. Standing together on a small platform at the top in a shared moment of terror, we tossed off pieces of paper inscribed with something we wanted to “let go”, before literally letting go and stepping into thin air, before our freefall was safely interrupted by a cable attached to the back of our harnesses. It’s amazing how fast friends can be made from a shared experience and most of our group met up later that evening for pre-dinner cocktails to celebrate our accomplishment. Rates at Miraval include three meals daily and non-alcoholic beverages. Meals are definitely health-conscious, but don’t suffer for lack of flavor or variety. Inspired by the cuisine of the Southwest, fresh seasonal ingredients are paramount. The buffet-style lunch was my favorite meal of the day; loading up on a healthy selection of salads and soups only felt indulgent. The property recently unveiled a new Life in Balance Culinary Kitchen in partnership with Williams Sonoma. Outfitted with top-of-the-line products from the renowned kitchen retailer, the expansive space will be host to a number of new healthy cooking classes and workshops. The remainder of my trip was focused on striking a balance between my physical and mental wellbeing. While the back-and-forth transition from a “relax and let go” mindset during a meditation exercise to shouts of “push harder” from the instructor during spin class was extreme at times, the dichotomy mirrored real-life, and served as a reminder to take time out of each day to do things that make me feel good both mentally and physically.

Wyatt Webb is the creator of the Miraval Equine Experience.
I interspersed intense bursts of activity with downtime at the spa, the highlight of which was a Vasudhara massage, a new Miraval exclusive treatment. I was given an eye mask and flotation device to wear for the Thai-style massage, which was carried out in a heated pool. The feeling of weightlessness in the darkness was such an alien sensation at first, but once I gave myself over to the experience, it was absolutely amazing; the buoyancy allowed for a greater range-of-motion to benefit from the Thai stretching techniques. The 30,000 square-foot spa is a temple to self-care with 23 indoor and six outdoor treatment rooms, saunas, steam rooms, an outdoor sea salt pool and hot tub, a café, a quiet relaxation room, and indoor and outdoor lounge spaces. A comprehensive menu of face and body treatments meld current technology with ancient healing rituals. Miraval’s most famous life coach and creator of the Miraval Equine Experience is Wyatt Webb, who has been leading equine-focused therapeutic workshops for people of all ages for nearly three decades. His “It’s Not About the Horse” session left me in awe of his miraculous ability to read someone’s mind through their body language. Engaging, real, and sometimes raw, Webb doesn’t mince words when doling out insight and advice. I came to Miraval as a newbie to the whole self-care thing, and I left wishing I would have discovered it a decade ago. sl Nightly rates at Miraval Arizona start at $529/person.

Start of the 1000 Miles of Sebring Photo by Marius Hecker/AdrenalMedia.com
HORSEPOWER HOMECOMING
With the 1000 Miles of Sebring, the FIA World Endurance Championship returns to where it started. Written by Andre James Introduced to the world in 2012 as a replacement for the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) allows manufacturers and private teams to compete against one another in nine endurance races around the world, including the revered 24 Hours of Le Mans. A point system, similar to FIA’s other world championships, is employed to award four World Championship titles and five FIA Endurance trophies at the end of each season. Each WEC race features four categories: Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1 for manufacturers, and LMP2 for teams independent of manufacturers and/or engine suppliers) and Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance (LMGTE Pro for teams with professional drivers, and LMGTE AM for teams comprised of amateur 58 slmag.net
drivers). Generally produced specifically for competition in the FIA WEC, Le Mans Prototypes are closed cockpit cars with no production minimums, while the Le Mans Grand Touring Endurance cars are two-door, street-legal cars that are available for sale through the manufacturer’s dealer network. The 2018/2019 WEC ‘Super Season’ of eight races kicked off last May at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in the Belgian Ardennes. This past March, the WEC returned to where it started—Florida’s historic Sebring racetrack—the oldest road racing track in America, and the site of the very first FIA WEC race in March 2012. Run on the former Hendricks Army Airfield WWII Airbase, the notoriously bumpy 17-turn, 3.74-mile multi-surface course was first used for a 6-hour race at the end of 1950.

limited to eight hours, is the only FIA WEC race to be held in the Americas during the 2018/2019 season. For racing fans, the return of the series provided an opportunity to ogle the stunning and superspeedy LMP1 prototypes vying to reach the checkered flag first. Battling challenging weather conditions, including heavy rain during the closing stages, the No. 8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid team, comprised of drivers Fernando Alonso, Sébastien Olivier Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima, led every lap from start-to-finish (253 in total) to take the LeMans Prototype 1 category and their third victory of the season. After the race Nakajimi commented, “I think from the outside it is easy to say it looked quite stable, but actually it was very tricky in the car. In my first stint, I had a lot of traffic so it was tough, but then I jumped in the car at the end, and I knew what I had to do. I
was quite happy in the dry conditions, but I was not happy at all in the end with the rainy conditions. It was amazingly low grip, and it was like sliding on ice...to be honest, I am just thankful we could finish, so the victory is a bonus.” Porsche took the top spot among competitors in the GTE Pro category with drivers Gianmaria Bruni and Richard Lietz. The amateur GTE class was won by a team comprised of Julian Andlauer, Matt Campbell and Christian Ried, driving for the Dempsey-Proton Racing team. Jackie Chan DC racing claimed the LMP2 title with drivers David Heinemeier Hansson, Jordan King and Will Stevens. Rounding out the FIA WEC season is the TOTAL 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps in May and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June. For more information on the series, visit fiawec.com. sl slmag.net

Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, during the world premiere of the Cayenne Coupe
QUITE A COUPE
Porsche adds a new member to the Cayenne family Written by Andre James Since its introduction in 2002, the Porsche Cayenne has been delivered to more than 864,000 customers around the globe. In an effort to keep pace with other major players in the realm of luxury SUVs, and to remain appealing to the next generation of luxury car buyers, Porsche has extended its Cayenne model line by releasing a new coupe body style. Remarking on the characteristics that define the younger target audience, Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG, said, “These groups value exclusivity and an expressive lifestyle, and have a very performanceoriented mentality.� 62 slmag.net
Recalling the silhouette of a Porsche 911, the Cayenne Coupe has a steep roofline that falls away to the rear and creates a dynamic and robust exterior. This aesthetic is further substantiated by redesigned rear doors and quarter panels, and a license plate bracket incorporated into the bumper. The current Cayenne Turbo was the first SUV to feature an adaptive roof spoiler, and the Cayenne Coupe features both a roof spoiler and an adaptive rear spoiler as part of Porsche Active Aerodynamics. At speeds above 56mph, the adaptive rear spoiler extends by 5.3-inches to increase downforce to the rear axle to improve cornering and grip.
A large panoramic fixed glass roof with an integrated sunshade creates an enhanced feeling of spaciousness. An optional carbon fiber roof is available as part of a trio of lightweight sports packages that also include weight-reduced 22-inch GT Design wheels, performance exhaust, and Alcantara trim. Coupe variants of the Cayenne boast upgraded standard equipment such as Porsche Active Suspension Management, the Sport Chrono Package, 20-inch wheels, parking assist, and eightway power Sports Seats in the front. The Cayenne Coupe features the same 3.0-liter monoturbo V6 engine as the standard Cayenne, which generates
335hp and completes the 0-60mph sprint in 5.7 seconds. The top-of-the-range Turbo Coupe is powered by a 4.0-liter twinturbo 541hp V8 engine that propels it from a standstill to 60mph in 3.7 seconds. “The Coupe includes all the technical highlights of the current Cayenne, but has an even more dynamic design and new technical details that position it as more progressive, athletic, and emotional,� remarked Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. Expected in showrooms in the fall of 2019, starting MSRP for the Cayenne Coupe is $75,300 and $130,100 for the Cayenne Turbo Coupe. sl
