From the Editor-in-Chief
Not long ago, the Cohens were surprised upon our return home to find maroon-andgold balloons and a maroon foam hand on the front porch. They were accompanied by a handwritten card bearing a warm message from a senior welcoming our daughter, Gracie, to Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School. As an alumnus of Brebeuf myself (as well as The Orchard School, which our two kids currently attend), her acceptance was wonderful news, immediately bringing back emotions and memories. Gracie is rigorous, disciplined and punctual beyond her years. If she gets a homework assignment on Monday that’s due on Friday, she’s finished by Monday night. As such, my wife, Jen, and I believe Gracie is a perfect fit for Brebeuf. We’re Jewish, but there’s something about the rigor and intensity of a Jesuit education that seems perfectly in sync with our beliefs and values. When I started there, Brebeuf was a boys-only institution, staffed by strict and fearsome teachers. In spite of a dress code, we still tried our hardest to look like scruffy teenagers when the staff weren’t looking. It was only when girls were admitted in my sophomore year that we started to regularly brush our hair and teeth in order to make ourselves more presentable. My guess is that since my time things have softened a bit on the disciplinary front, but I’m sure the academic standards remain undiminished. Although I don’t believe I’m the kind of father who’s obsessed with shaping his children in his own image, enabling Gracie to attend a college preparatory school not only helps set her up for success in the future, but also peripherally provides Jen and me with some of the continuity and legacy that bring validation to the parenting process. I should explain: Jen is very much her own woman, but when it comes to education, she’s been impressed by the things even a so-so student like me learned at Orchard and Brebeuf, so she’s always wanted those traditions for our kids as much—maybe more—than I have. My education was the greatest gift my parents gave me, and now it gives us untold joy to be able to provide the same opportunities I enjoyed to our (more-deserving) children. As Gracie leaves behind her formative experiences at Orchard and heads towards her defining years at Brebeuf, I can’t help but wonder if she’ll experience this same lovely circle with her own children. If I’m still around, I’ll pat the grandkids on the head and regale them with tales from the good old days. “When I was your age,” I’ll recall, “there were no girls in school. We didn’t even brush our teeth before we headed out the door in the morning.”

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

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

FRENCHOldCOUNTRY REDUX world charm gets an update. Written by Neil Charles / Photography by Andrew Kung Constructed in 2002 by Scott B. Campbell Custom Homes, this elegant abode was recently purchased and remodeled by designer Dawn Wickberg and her husband, Indianapolis Colts executive Roger VanDerSnick. Moving to Indianapolis from Florida by way of Georgia, and having built or redesigned many homes over the years, the couple shared a clear vision from the outset of how their new home should reflect their personal style. “Coming from South Florida, where the architecture was very Mediterranean, we loved the Palm Beach style,” explains Wickberg. “When we moved to St. Simons Island in Georgia, we didn’t want a traditional Low Country style house with the big wraparound porch, so we built a French Country style home instead. We like the very high-pitched rooflines and the high ceilings both upstairs and down, with the soft angles on the corners and the arched windows.” In love with the style, Wickberg and VanDerSnick sought something similar in Indianapolis when 66 slmag.net
they moved here for his work in 2017. “We love to entertain casually,” continues the designer. “But most of the architecture in Indianapolis tends to be very formal. It was difficult for us to find a house that was open enough for us to entertain. Once we stepped into this home it was a no-brainer.” Over nearly two decades, homes by Scott Campbell have become landmarks in many of the city’s most upscale neighborhoods. Campbell began his career in construction with his stepfather, a builder in Madison County, and himself a keen exponent of the French Country style. When the opportunity arose to revisit one of his previous projects, especially in collaboration with a client who not only understood the design process, but who was a designer herself, Campbell jumped at it. “It was fun going in and giving a new look to one of my favorite homes from the early 2000s,” he recounts. “The clients who can conceptualize make my life so much easier. Because when we make a decision, we move forward.”

Originally commissioned by Kim and Sherrie Colby, who owned Colby Antiques, the plans had been drawn by Sherrie on a napkin and, according to Campbell, “required very few changes.” Designed to reflect the more colorful and flamboyant side of French Country living, the home was decorated in vivid tones, with plenty of yellow paint and orange tile lending a sunshiny Mediterranean feel. Now with a more neutral palette, where wood floors take the place of terracotta tile, the home offers a cleanly sophisticated (yet lived-in) look, with what the builder refers to as “a kind of warm and livable Santa Barbara feel. It’s still a Europeanstyle house; it’s very today, yet it’s also quite timeless.” While a number of aspects of the home were modified, others, such as the custom-made Amish kitchen cabinets, were retained for both their utility and their exquisite craftsmanship. VanDerSnick appreciates his wife’s ability to create an
environment that is at once functional and aesthetically pleasing. “It is really amazing to be married to such a talented designer,” he says. “Dawn can easily create a vision for a home with functional and design features that fit our lifestyle.” Prior to the renovations, when one entered via the front door, it had not been possible to see through to the kitchen and living areas in the rear with their great vaulted ceilings, so the decision was made to remove the dividing wall and open everything up. The ground floor is loosely separated into numerous smaller, more intimate spaces, defined by groupings of furniture rather than by walls. Massive ceiling beams further contribute to the sense of delineation, without providing any restrictive boundaries. Walking in through the front door one now gets an impression of a merging of styles that is part old world, part new, where French Country mansion meets Californian beach house. slmag.net

72 slmag.net
In keeping with a more traditional European layout, the home’s private family areas are kept upstairs. A vast master suite occupies a significant portion of the space, while VanDerSnick’s office-away-from-the-office occupies another. “My job as the chief sales and marketing officer keeps me very busy,” he explains. “Having such a nice office makes it very easy and efficient to work at home in the evenings and on the weekends.” Central to the couple’s love of entertaining is the vast back porch, which opens directly off the kitchen and living areas. “We had trouble finding a big, screened-in back porch,” adds the designer, “so this was a deciding factor in buying this house.” A space formerly occupied by a hot tub is now an outdoor kitchen area, and a distressed klinker brick wall provides a suitably rustic backdrop for outdoor entertaining. Conscious of the amount of damage that frequent hosting can inflict on a home, the designer made sure to employ the most durable, yet beautiful surfaces and furnishings available. Tile floors were replaced with Mohawk engineered wood, while the carpeting throughout the home was selected from Mohawk’s
extensive commercial line. Wallpaper, now making a welcome comeback in the designer’s arsenal, replaces paint in a number of areas, especially in the newly remodeled bathrooms. Like the floors and carpets, the wall coverings are of an exceptionally resilient commercial grade, primarily from Elitis and Eykon. Throughout the living areas, in pleasing contrast with the high vaulted ceilings and heavy beams, strikingly modern and comfortable furniture offers an environment where, in Campbell’s words, “guests wouldn’t be afraid to put their feet up.” Both inside and out, chairs, sofas and cushions are covered in an array of fabrics from Sunbrella, a company that manufactures incredibly durable coverings in a seemingly infinite range of colors and designs. Examples of these products, as well as the furniture, wall coverings and carpets, can be found at Wickberg’s new place of business, the Dawn Allyn Studio at the Coats Wright Art & Design Gallery on the first floor of the Indiana Design Center in Carmel. Owing to her fluid and effortless integration of the classic with the modern, Wickberg’s designs are likely to appear frequently in future issues. sl

MIAMI BEACH OASIS The Ritz-Carlton, Bal Harbour Written by Jeffrey Cohen
76 slmag.net
For much of my life, South Florida has felt like a second home, as I’ve spent innumerable school holidays there with family members, both close and extended. For spring break this year, my wife and I took our kids to Palm Beach for a few days, then surprised them with a trip down to The Ritz-Carlton, Bal Harbour and VIP tickets to the finals of the Miami Open tennis tournament. This was going to be
our last such spring adventure for a while, as our daughter starts high school this fall, and will be on a different schedule from our son. We have always loved our family vacations together, and knowing that this year would in a way mark the end of one era and the beginning of another made us all the more aware of the need to wring out every ounce of fun and to enshrine every memory that we could. slmag.net

I was looking forward to revisiting the scene of some of my fondest memories, and was especially excited that we were to be staying for the first time at this particular Ritz-Carlton, a surprisingly boutiquey beachfront hotel with only 95 rooms and suites (although distributed over 18 floors) in the heart of the city’s most exclusive shopping and entertainment district. I was delighted to find that not only has this historic part of town survived the test of time, it has become even more cosmopolitan and cool, in a very European way. Nowhere is this more apparent than at The Ritz-Carlton, Bal Harbour, which offers an oasis of calm and elegant refinement in one of the world's most vibrant and invigorating cities. Whether you are visiting for a weekend escape, on vacation with the family or hosting a special event, this world-class establishment is a coastal sanctuary in a mesmerizing setting. With its oceanfront location on North Miami Beach, it is perfectly situated for guests to explore the city's most popular attractions, as well as its lesser-known
78 slmag.net
sights. The vibrant streets of South Beach are just 15 minutes away, while the towering buildings of Downtown Miami illuminate the sky in the evening. Bikes are everywhere, and a preferred way to get around this beachfront paradise. Whenever we stay at a Ritz-Carlton, wherever we may be, we are always treated like old friends. Not only my wife and I, but our kids, too, were greeted by name. Even though we knew from experience that this venerable brand practically invented hospitality, we were amazed by what they had placed in our immaculately appointed oceanfront suite. It was a cleverly arranged compendium of us and our favorite things: a framed family photo, accompanied by a beautiful, edible turtle comprising a green milk chocolate shell and chocolate chip cookies. There was a delightful gummy chaser, along with a shot of macaroons. Charmed—but still needing to unwind after the hectic drive down I-95—we adults availed ourselves of a refreshing cocktail while enjoying the ocean view from our terrace, and the kids set off in search of age-appropriate entertainment.

Dinner our first evening was at the hotel’s Artisan Beach House. Chic and impeccable in every way, this modern restaurant features a global menu of classically inspired dishes with a strong emphasis on fresh seafood. Beginning with a Smoked Orange Blossom cocktail (and virgin daiquiris for the kids), we shared a couple of seafood appetizers, including an outstanding ceviche, before moving on to the main course. Carnivores that they are, my wife and daughter opted for the 16-oz Angus rib eye steak, which they both assured me represented the pure embodiment of beef. I decided to keep things local with the Florida swordfish, while our son opted for the Arroz Caldoso, a kind of fish stew, knowing he could add hot sauce with impunity (he’s a spiceaholic). If we couldn’t exactly taste the sea, we could certainly smell it as the fresh ocean breeze wafted across the deck. Because it is open for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, as well as bar bites and cocktails in the lounge, we visited Artisan Beach House several times during our stay.
The following afternoon, after a Signature Flow Massage for me and a Power Facial for my wife at Exhale, the resort’s oceanfront spa, we enjoyed a casual al fresco lunch at Water’s Edge, the hotel’s poolside eatery, which offers a less formal environment and simpler fare, as well as an inviting selection of shakes and smoothies suitable for younger guests. Here my wife restored her energy with a succulent burger, while I opted for a wonderfully fresh tuna poké. Both were washed down with a suitably thirst-quenching Provence Rosé from Château Miraval. When you are in Bal Harbour, it is essential to take a stroll through the famous Bal Harbour Shops and along Collins Avenue, sampling a few culinary offerings along the way. In order to work off lunch and expose the children to a bit of local culture, we took a walking tour of the Art Deco Historic District, with its jaunty hotels and apartment buildings. Stopping here and there for gelato and iced drinks to keep the troops from rebelling, we whiled away a most enjoyable afternoon.

On our last full day, the four of us headed over to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, the home of the Miami Dolphins, for the finals of the men’s singles tennis, the first time the tournament has been held at this expansive venue since its departure from Crandon Park in Key Biscayne. I’m a longtime Roger Federer fan, so nothing could have rounded out the trip in a more satisfying manner than seeing him take yet another trophy at the ripe old age of 37. Following an exhilarating afternoon of tennis, we returned to The Ritz-Carlton for a quick swim and a Tom Collins, followed by another serving of the most succulent swordfish I have ever tasted. After a few days of swimming, walking and sundry activities, we permitted ourselves the indulgence of a decadent Baked Alaska, something you do not see on many restaurant menus these days. Replete with fish and enough memories to last at least another
year, I felt fortunate to have found such a magnificent oasis in the heart of Miami Beach. On our final morning, the kids enjoyed a quick swim and a penultimate smoothie, desperate to soak up a few last rays of sunshine before the flight home. Loading up the rental car for our drive to the airport, I remembered my own childhood, when we would depart Miami Beach in the old family station wagon with a basket of fresh pastries from one of our favorite Jewish delis. This time, our trip began with a box of freshly baked croissants and some fresh coffee from Artisan Beach House, and yet more smoothies for the kids. Happy, well-rested, but feeling a touch of sadness for the end of a family tradition, we began the journey back north, back to school, deadlines and the last gasps of an Indiana winter. sl For more information, visit ritzcarlton.com/en/hotels/miami/bal-harbour.

DECK THE HALL Union 50 turns 05.
Written by Neil Charles / Photography by Andrew Kung Discreetly tucked away in Indianapolis’ Chatham Arch district, and now approaching its fifth anniversary, Union 50 Restaurant & Bar established itself from day one as something of a fixture on the downtown casual fine dining scene. Occupying the space built in 1950 as the Bricklayers, Masons & Tile Setters Union hall (inspiring the name), now repurposed by Cunningham Restaurant Group (CRG) and their go-to design firm Phänomen/design, this boldly imagined gastropub offers a broad range of drinking and dining options to a diverse downtown clientele. From the outside, the building is modest, even to the point of being unremarkable: a squat brick edifice that typifies the city’s 1950s Northside architecture. Entering through a modern glass atrium off the parking lot, however, the immediate experience is a bit like hitching a ride on the Tardis. The interior space, almost 7,000 square feet of dining room alone, completely belies the unassuming exterior. The ceilings are some of the highest of any restaurant in town; the back bar reaches upwards, framed against massive windows, like a drinker’s vision of Nirvana. Featuring a chef-driven menu and a wide-ranging drinks program, Union 50 offers something to suit most tastes, yet succeeds in steering a path that cleverly navigates the fringes of the mainstream. Corporate chef Carl Chambers, in collaboration with executive chef Adan Sandoval, has created a seasonally changing bill of fare that, like a number of CRG’s menus, provides a broad enough comfort zone for less-experienced diners while throwing a roasted marrow bone or two to the esoteric tastes of downtown’s more demanding patrons. Chef Adan, who hails from Michoacán, Mexico, and loves to cook fish at every opportunity, brings a passion to his food that he partly attributes to his mentors. “I was so lucky to learn with Chef Ryan Nelson [then] at Oceanaire,” he says. “He’s one of the best. And of course, working under [CRG Executive Chef ] Layton Roberts really developed my skills.”

In addition to the aforementioned marrow bones, which are served with fennel and pear, diners will find some other less commonplace ingredients spicing up their meal. “One of our most popular dishes is our kimchi meatloaf,” explains General Manager Joe Hibbert. “It also features our Thai ketchup for a little kick and a housemade apple-yuzu jam that balances out the dish with a touch of sweetness.” Elsewhere, such humble root vegetables as parsnip and turnip provide a welcome change from the ubiquitous spud. Potatoes are not entirely ignored, however, making an appearance front and center in a couple of decadent poutine dishes, a dietary staple of our neighbors to the north. As far as sauces are concerned, a variety of jams, emulsions, purées and gastriques take their place alongside more traditional pan reductions. Flavors are bright, lively and pure, and ingredients are first-rate, as we have come to expect from CRG.

Diners seeking less filling but nonetheless satisfying fare can build a charcuterie and cheese board featuring a selection of housemade and local artisan creations from a variety of purveyors. Coupled with one of the many unique and supremely satisfying cocktails, this approach is a fine way to while away a couple of hours. “Our lead bartender Heather Storm works with our team to create a drinks menu that ranges from riffs on old standby classics to new and exciting flavors,” says Hibbert. “All of our infusions and syrups are made in-house.” With a program established by CRG’s in-house sommelier Roddy Kirschenman, wine drinkers (including this one) will be delighted to find a solid selection of good-value, high quality wines not generally available on the supermarket shelves. Particularly impressive are wines from the keg, a delivery system that guarantees freshness from the first glass to the last. We especially enjoyed the Tablas Creek white, a Californian Rhône-style blend that marks a welcome departure from the usual suspects, from a producer whose wines one usually has to purchase by the bottle. In summer months, the patio overlooking East Street provides an excellent vantage point for people watching, while several times a week musicians perform in the bar after 9. The perfect place to start an evening, end a night, or enjoy the whole experience, Union 50 looks set to breeze through its next five years with as much verve and confidence as it did the first. sl Union 50 is located at 620 N. East Street. For more information, visit union-50.com.

SOPHISTICATED WEDDINGS Presented by
Kelly (Doyle) and Connor Noll Danielle Harris Photography
Connor Noll and Kelly Doyle grew up in Indianapolis, both attending Bishop Chatard High School, but weren’t reunited until years later, following Connor's time at Purdue University and Kelly's at DePauw University. The two had been told many times that they would be a perfect match, but they didn’t start dating until November of 2015. Two years later, Connor planned a romantic proposal on Monument 100 slmag.net
Circle in Downtown Indianapolis, but his plan went awry. On that frigid night in December of 2017, Kelly had one thing on her mind— getting to the warm car, not visiting the Circle. Connor ended up proposing on the fourth floor of a parking garage, making for a great story and an even better memory! The two are enjoying this new chapter of their lives, residing close to where they both grew up. sl

They say the third time's the charm, and this was true for Stacy and Ilya. The two met as teenagers, went on a date in college and reconnected through the Russian Jewish community when they served as members on the same board in 2015. Stacy knew Ilya was something special when he brought a dog toy to their "second" first date at Sushi Bar in Broad Ripple for her dog, Wallace. After adventuring to Iceland (in the winter, no less), Aruba, Italy and across the United States, Ilya surprised Stacy 102 slmag.net
with a proposal at the top of the Willis Tower in Chicago. The two fell in love with Newfields for their wedding venue; Stacy had gone there many times as a child and it held sentimental value for her. The groom's father officiated their March 30 wedding in front of 200 close family and friends, and guests enjoyed a specialty wedding cake made from Stacy's grandmother's recipe. Although candles and lush florals created a special ambience, a surprise spring snowstorm was a romantic touch. sl
MARI HULMAN GEORGE’S LEGACY OF LOVE Written by Jeffrey Cohen
The last time I saw Mari Hulman George was, fittingly, at the Indianapolis 500; my family had been invited to join her family’s police escort, always an invigorating experience. When the motorcade entered the track, it parked inside turn two at a little house informally referred to as “The Mouse House,” Mari’s home away from home during the month of May. It’s a tiny, unassuming building that easily gets lost in the immensity of the speedway. But for those in the know, including Mari’s battalion of grandchildren, The Mouse House was the epicenter of race festivities. When we arrived, the place was a hive of activity. Even though Mari was getting her hair done in advance of the race, she still gave us a warm welcome, making extra time to greet our kids. If you speak to anyone who knew this inspiring and remarkable woman, with her keen understanding of business and an extraordinary dedication to philanthropy, all will agree that her overriding passion was for her children and grandchildren. 104 slmag.net
“As one of many grandkids, I can confidently say that her grandchildren were the most important aspect of her life,” recalled Jarrod Krisiloff, VP, Facilities and Events, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Mari’s grandson. “As we grew up, she always had the capacity to get behind our passions and be our biggest supporters. She really never missed a big moment in all of our lives. The untold part of her legacy is her grandchildren and where we are today.” Born on December 26, 1934 in Evansville, Mary “Mari” Antonia Hulman was the daughter of well known business mogul Anton “Tony” Hulman Jr. and Mary Fendrich Hulman. She attended primary and secondary school at St. Benedict in Terre Haute and Ladywood School in Indianapolis, before attending Purdue. Mari became captivated by the world of auto racing when her father bought the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in November 1945, saving it from almost certain demolition after the cash-

strapped years of World War II. Becoming friends with many of the drivers during her teenage and early-adult years, she entered the world of motor sports and became a highly successful team owner, recognized as a pioneer in a field that to this day remains a fiercely male-focused domain. Relishing the friendships that she established with drivers, team owners, mechanics and officials, Mari maintained those bonds for her entire life, hosting galas, parties and charity events that would help put IMS front and center on the social calendar. “Being at the track was the most important thing to her,” continued Krisiloff. “And being the 'hostess with the mostess' during race time was what made her happy. The door was open and there was always someone new welcomed to the party.” Serving as IMS chairman from 1988 to 2016, Mari became known to race fans worldwide for her exhortation for the gentlemen, and subsequently ladies, to “start your engines.”
But more than just a figurehead for the greatest spectacle in racing, Mari touched the lives of countless Hoosiers through her tirelessly philanthropic efforts, with special focus on the arts, health care and, in particular, animal care. She also oversaw the period during which the Indianapolis 500 grew to unprecedented worldwide popularity, while the facility also expanded its annual schedule beyond the month of May to include the Brickyard 400, the United States Formula One Grand Prix and the Red Bull MotoGP World Championship. Passing away on November 3, 2018, surrounded by her family, Mari Hulman George built a virtually unassailable foundation for future generations. Survived by three daughters, Nancy George, Josie George and Kathi George-Conforti; a son, Anton H. “Tony” George; a stepdaughter, Carolyn Coffey; seven grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren, her legacy is assured as long as engines burn gasoline. Or ethanol. sl slmag.net 105

Parents and friends of Park Tudor School gathered at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Pagoda February 23 for a fundraiser, Uncorked, benefiting the School’s Annual Fund. Guests were greeted with a champagne tasting and fabulous views of the motor speedway and city from the Pagoda’s eighth floor. The evening continued with the sampling of wines from the west coast to the music of DJ Gabby Love. Uncorked offered the opportunity for fast laps on the road course and an exciting live auction that raised nearly $28,000. This soldout inaugural event was a smashing success–raising more than $50,000 for Park Tudor School. 6 4

CORKS & FORKS
Local chefs and bartenders joined forces on the floor of Bankers Life Fieldhouse March 20 in support of Second Helpings’ mission to transform lives through the power of food at Corks & Forks, presented by Kroger, in partnership with Pacers Sports & Entertainment and Levy Restaurants. Around 900 attendees sampled dishes from some of Indy’s best chefs in support of Second Helpings’ food rescue, hunger relief and culinary job training efforts in Central Indiana.
