Thoughts on Individuality,
individuality
from Tom Casalini.
“In almost 40 years, I have never duplicated a portrait experience.”
“I must first truly understand you. We must communicate. I listen, I watch. We begin to trust.”
“I won’t pose you. You’ll find your own way of standing, sitting, being.” “When you are photographed with someone – a spouse, a child, a sibling, a well-loved animal – the individuality of the relationship is as significant as each one of you.”
“A portrait of individuality has presence. It fills a room with its energy.” “Individuality is the passion of a portrait.”
One of the nation’s premier portrait photographers is in Zionsville, Indiana.

From the Editor-In-Chief
This column requires a little homework on your part. If you get a chance, read Mitch Albom’s 1997 Tuesdays With Morrie – or do a Google search for background on Mitch, Morrie and their regular get-togethers. A dozen “life lesson” stories (and maybe more) make themselves known in the book, but the one that has afected me most is the intergenerational friendship between two guys – one on the cusp of a career, the other at the end of his (and, indeed, at the end of his life). I’ve got my own “Morrie.” He absolutely refuses to let me use his name, so for the sake of this tribute, let’s call him Max. I’ve heard it said that “you can’t make old friends,” but whoever said that clearly never met Max. It wasn’t ten minutes into our frst meeting and we’d become the kind of friends you’ve had since kindergarten. He came into my life a couple of years ago via an e-mail note complimenting me on a direct mail marketing letter I’d written to him (and about 2,500 other potential new friends, none of whom bothered to write back). Who gets letters praising a piece of direct mail? Max claims it was well-deserved praise, and after a couple of years, I’ve come to understand that one of the things I like most about Max is his ability to shoot straight. When he tells me I’ve done something good, I believe him. If he doesn’t like something, he lets me down gently and with subtle suggestions about how to make something better. Because, as it turns out, we’ve both been journalists, I often ask for Max’s professional advice and counsel. I trust his sense of things in and around my life. Max’s affirmative confrmation of my vision for Sophisticated Living has been invaluable. Our regular weekly lunches are kind of like watching a tennis match as the old guy (Max) and the kid (me) bat ideas, opinions, stories, compliments and expressions of respect and admiration back and forth. And therein lies the joy of fnding my own personal Morrie. With all Max is to me, he still say’s I’m overly impressed with things he’s done and adventures he’s had (I think, for instance, anyone who’s served in a combat zone in any war is worthy of our deepest respect and gratitude; he thinks his time in the service was not an active display of patriotism, but “just what we did when the draft notice came”). My new pal has accumulated some wisdom along the way (not much he says; I disagree); he’s a good listener, and that’s a rare skill these days. I also fnd that when he talks, I become a good listener too. Te best advice I’ve received from Max: He never fails to remind me that it’s far too easy to produce a magazine that lacks an editorial point of view. And he follows that observation with this one: It’s harder, much harder, to produce one that is unerringly rock solid in its editorial focus on its readers. Max’s mantra has become mine, and it’s simple: “It’s about the readers. Please them, and you’ll please yourself.” Max is always promoting learning, reading and “hanging out with you youngsters” as the keys to a long, productive life. Hanging out with a Morrie or a Max is a great way to tap into the wisdom of those who’ve been there before – and to guide you on your way to becoming a Morrie or a Max. Tere’s nothing quite like giving back what you’ve been given.

Holiday Tree-Way
SEA - Cobbler’s Cove I don’t know who was more curious; me or the young green monkey nervously jumping from branch to branch while it surveyed what I was up to on my oceanfront garden courtyard. Fortunately for me, but unfortunately for him, I was quite content simply relaxing on a chaise lounge and savoring the last waning rays of sunlight and the cool ocean breezes. Such moments of tranquility are commonplace at Cobblers Cove, an intimate 40-room boutique resort on the west coast of Barbados. Te original house that serves as the heart of the property was built in 1941 by Joss Haynes, successor to an uninterrupted line of sugarcane planters dating back to the 1650s in the “Scotland’ district of Barbados. Built as a weekend family retreat on a site chosen for its direct access to a calm bay, over the years Joss expanded the house and gardens, and lived there

full time after retirement until his heath in 1963. Sold to another prominent Barbadian family in 1968, the property has continued to evolve with an eye toward excellence, a pursuit rewarded by its membership in the prestigious Relais & Chateaux (the only member in Barbados). One of the more endearing aspects of the property, outside of its staf, many of which have worked on property for decades, is a real commitment to preserving island heritage. All of the furniture is made in Barbados, menus are laden with local delicacies, steel used in construction is from an old island railway and the prevalent decorative coral rock was cut on-island. After checking in, guests are led to their room along meandering brick paths hemmed in by myriad foliage in rainbow colors that defines the lushly landscaped property. Look closely and you may catch a glimpse of a Black Skimmer,
Hummingbird, Ramier, Grey Kingbird, Frigatebird or Cobbler, after which the hotel is named. All of the rooms are suites that include a sitting area with sofa bed, dinette and kitchenette. The bedrooms are airconditioned, while the rest of the suite is open-air with louvered doors that open to either a covered terrace or balcony with sea or garden views. A pair of spacious suites on the second foor of the main house boast private plunge pools. All meals are served in an open-air restaurant in the main house that overlooks the turquoise ocean at the front and a kidney-shaped pool and bar to the right. Head chef Brian Porteus has garnered extensive experience in both Michelin and 5 Star establishments around the world. A traditional high tea is served daily on a covered terrace adjacent to the elegantly furnished living area of the main house.
Located a few minuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk from the hotel is historic Speightstown, the site of the one and only invasion of Barbados around 1651. Back on property, the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buoyed ocean swimming area is excellent for snorkeling, and kids love to cannonball of of the floating swim platform. At the southern end of the property a watersports center offers a host of complimentary watersports activities: waterskiing, wind surfing, kayaking, snorkeling and sunfsh sailing. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough, located across the street from the hotel is a foodlit all-weather tennis court and ftness center. During our stay the watersports director arranged to take a group of us by boat to a popular sea turtle gathering spot. A bag of fresh scallops supplied by the kitchen brought them out in droves, adding one more exclamation point to a trip full of superlatives. For more information or reservations, visit cobblerscove.com or call 1.800.890.6060.

Te Walig Hut
SKI - Gstaad Palace “If you are someone of signifcance who wants to be ‘seen’ you go to St. Moritz; in Gstaad we keep our lips sealed,” said Marianne Leidenbach of her hometown’s long-standing policy of maintaining the privacy of the well-heeled jetsetters who relish in being able to browse the boutiques, visit their progeny at the exclusive Gstaad International School, at the winter campus of Le Rosey, or hit the slopes relatively free from prying eyes. Because everyone ends up at some point in the town of 3,500 year-round residents to do their shopping “there’s a great sense of commonality,” Leidenbach added. Poised like a sentinel over this relaxed bastion of exclusivity is Gstaad Palace, which will mark its 100th anniversary in 2013. Picturesque doesn’t even begin to encapsulate the setting, due in part to the region’s stringent building codes, in place since 1957 that preserve the heritage of charming chalet-style

architecture - those iconic buildings that instantly come to mind when thinking of Switzerland - in both the village and surrounding countryside. Particularly with new construction, it’s not uncommon for these seemingly modest chalets to have several subterranean foors, concealing everything from indoor pools to small-scale cinemas. During my visit, at the start of summer, snow was still visible on the tallest jagged peaks of the Alps even as the foothills were blanketed by wildfowers and a carpet of grass so green it was almost Technicolor. Enjoying an alfresco buffet lunch on La Grande Terrasse, shaded by an enormous white and yellowstriped awning, I could look out over some of the properties on-site amenities: the oldest Olympic-sized pool in Switzerland; a spa terrace near the indoor-outdoor plunge pool and Jacuzzi; four outdoor clay courts; and, ample comfortable seating areas

spread out on the rear lawn for savoring the view. While 30% of clients hail from French-speaking areas of Switzerland, there was a wonderful diversity of languages audible among guests and staf, including German, French, Italian, and English. Te terrace is a hub of activity year round, with space heaters and blankets warming clients après ski. When it opened in 1913, the property was considered very modern for the era as 50 of its 150 rooms had a private bath and there were six phone booths and an electric-lighting system throughout. After weathering WWI and the Great Depression, the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Scherz-Bezzola as managers marked the start of operations by three generations of the Scherz family. After WWI Scherz gradually acquired shares from all holders and began making improvements to the property, which lured entertainers such as Maurice Chevalier, Louis Armstrong and Ella

Fitzgerald to perform at gala evenings. Since then, subsequent generations had made continued improvements and renovations (to the tune of more than 70 million Swiss Francs) that have maintained Gstaad Palace as an icon of Swiss luxury hospitality. Te 104 spacious and tastefully decorated bedrooms are comprised of 74 single and double rooms, 19 junior suites, four suites, a pair of two-bedroom Tower Suites and the spectacular three-bedroom Penthouse Suite. There are five restaurants on property as well as a catering division that handles on and of-property events such as annual summer polo and tennis tournaments and a winter music and hot air balloon festival. Tere are upwards of 1,000 diferent events annually throughout the region. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often said that there are more cows than people in Gstaad, and guests looking for an authentic Alpine experience

should book a meal or an overnight in Te Walig Hut, owned by Gstaad Palace and located at 5,400 feet overlooking Gstaad and Saanenland. Built in 1786 and restored to its original condition with only the most basic modern amenities (i.e, a working stove but no hot shower), it provides a fascinating glimpse of a farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life in the summer when his cows were brought up to pasture. Our rustic lunch at the Walig Hut, served on a long table covered with a red-and-white checkerboard tablecloth and fanked by a pair of cowhide covered benches, included an outof-this world Hobelkäse (wafer-thin slices of dried cheese) made by the farmer in the neighboring hut and a simple, but delectable baked cream pie for dessert. Tough we were told that calories evaporate at high altitude, our overindulgence prompted several of us to trek part of the way back. As fortune would have it, we happened across a farmer and his children leading their herd of
Simmentaler cows up the mountainside (the gentle giants are adorned with flowers for their return to Gstaad in August for the Suufsunntig festival). Rivaling their enormity were embossed brass bells suspended from their necks via thick leather collars. Te melodic chorus of clanging could be heard well after theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d disappeared over the hillside. After a night at the Walig Hut or participating in scores of local events and activities, a day in the soothing confnes of Te Palace Spa. Nearly 20,000 square feet, the facility encompasses eight massage and facial treatment rooms, a private spa suite, two saunas and two steam baths, relaxation areas with mountain views, a year round indoor and outdoor pool with Jacuzzi, a state-of-the-art ftness center, a solarium, a Pilates Studio, and a blissfully indulgent hammam experience encompassing seven rooms.

Five on-site restaurants serve a variety of cuisines, from Swiss style and delicacies including cheese fondue and raclette at La Fromagerie (open seasonally) to Gildo’s Ristorante, named in honor of Gildo Bocchini, the bespectacled, larger-thanlife Maitre D’Hotel of Gstaad Palace since the 1960s. Also open seasonally, Gildo’s is operated by the kitchen team from Il Pellicano hotel in Tuscany. Le Grill, Rotisserie is defned by an exhibition kitchen where patrons of the intimate 35-seat establishement can watch Chefs Peter Wyss and Yoann Carlier utilize both traditional and avant garde cooking techniques. Teir innovation has garnered an impressive 16 point rating on a scale of 20 by gourmet food guide Gault Millau.
Known for an abundance of intermediate slopes, the area around Gstaad Palace boasts more than 155 miles of alpine slopes and Glacier 3000, the only glacier ski area in the Bernese Oberland with range of slopes open from November into April. With a deep snowpack year-round, you can visit the Glacier at the height of summer, cross-country ski on two miles of trails, ride on a dog sled or the world’s highest alpine coaster and throw a snowball or two before heading back to shorts and t-shirt weather. Gstaad is one of the top cross-country ski areas in the Alps and is considered a freerider’s paradise. In warmer months, skiing gives way to an abundance of hiking, biking, climbing, rafting and golfng pursuits. Rates at Gstaad Palace based on double occupancy start from CHF 720 (approximately $765).

Lobby of Te Ritz-Carlton Denver
CITY - Te Ritz-Carlton, Denver, CO As Colorado’s capital and its largest city, Denver is the state’s cultural and civic hub, serving as both a destination and a gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Mirroring the city’s cosmopolitan persona is the Ritz-Carlton, Denver, the city’s first and only AAA Five-Diamond hotel. Part of the Denver Place complex, the 38-floor skyscraper is very conveniently located near popular Larimer Square, the Denver Center for Performing Arts, the LoDo District and Coors Field, the city’s unique historical, recreation, dining and retail amenities are literally at your doorstep, or within a relatively short walk (this is Colorado after all, which consistently has the lowest rates of obesity in the US). Denver B-Cycle, a new bike-sharing program has a rental station just outside the hotel for exploring more than 850 miles of bike paths. Te lobby, 202 guest rooms and public areas of the hotel are outfitted in dark wood tones with drapery, upholstery and rugs in colors that call to mind the hues of Autumn and the sandstone boulders at nearby Red Rocks amphitheater. Dominating the lobby is a spectacular 12-foot-wide blown glass chandelier suspended above the grand staircase. Each of the spacious guest rooms feature varied artwork invoking a

strong sense of place. Te hotel ofers a Ritz-Carlton Club Level floor with distinctive amenities including a separate lounge, continuous food and beverage presentations throughout the day and evening, and a dedicated concierge staf. As one has come to expect during a stay at a Ritz-Carlton property, service at all levels is outstanding. When the gift shop couldn’t locate any sunblock, we were given a preemptive complimentary tube of Jack Black moisturizer with sunscreen to mitigate any perceived inconvenience. Inspired by the rarifed air, we did all of our city exploring on foot, venturing to as Confluence Park, where we watched more adventurous types tackle the man-made kayak run in front of R.E.I’s Colorado fagship. Ten it was of to the Denver Art Museum (denverartmuseum.org/) to take in an exhibition of 70 paintings and drawings by Vincent van Gogh that will be on display through Jan. 20, 2013. We enjoyed the most wonderful fg, goat cheese and crispy prosciutto pizza drizzled with trufehoney at Osteria Marco (osteriamarco.com) in Larimer Square (so good in fact we went back the next day and ordered the same thing at dinner!). Located near Larimer Square, 1515 Restaurant (1515restaurant.com) was also memorable for a bit of molecular
gastronomy mixed into the continental menu with discernable French and Asian overtones. While there are ample things to do in-town, the out-ofdoors remains a major draw, with hiking, skiing, whitewater rafting, and the like all within a short drive. Despite my pleas, my travel mate wasn’t up for hiking, so as a compromise we had the extremely helpful hotel concierge arrange a last-minute twohour ATV ride. While the smell of exhaust and the rumble of the engine didn’t ft into the Zen-like commune with nature I was after, I have to admit that traversing up and down a 120acre mountainside tract complete with plenty of technical maneuvering over boulders near sheer clif edges certainly got my adrenaline pumping. Te site was a gold mining camp in the late 1800s, so if you go, keep your eye out for shiny nuggets! Returning to the hotel, we eased our sore muscles with a couples massage at the on-site, 8,000 square-foot award-winning spa. My therapists’ hands were so strong I swear her grip could have burst a tennis ball. In addition to massages, the spa ofers body remedies, skin care, nail services and make-up application. After our treatment I continued to indulge in the relaxing environs by visiting the whirlpool and eucalyptus infused steam
room. A perfect accompaniment to the wellness experience garnered in the spa, all guests of the Ritz-Carlton Denver are given access to the adjacent FORZA Fitness Club, an expansive palace to wellness featuring a basketball court, Indoor lap pool, aerobic classes, weight room, and personal training. Dinner at ELWAY’s Downtown was the perfect way to end an action-packed day. Te interior design is in keeping with the Colorado contemporary theme found throughout the property. It’s ftting that as the recipient of Wine Spectator Magazine’s ‘Award of Excellence’ from 2009-2012, emphasis is given to the wine wall, comprised of more than 1,500 bottles. Te focal point of the traditional steakhouse menu, prepared under the auspices of Chef Robert Bogart is expertly prepared hand-cut USDA prime beef, with ample emphasis on seafood and sushi oferings. Elway’s signature brownie lollipop is a must-try for dessert. Te restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and ofers a popular weekend brunch. In celebration of the Van Gosh exhibition, the Ritz-Carlton Denver is offering an ‘Impression of Van Gogh’ package through January 20, 2013, starting at $299 per night.

With the gracious permission of Her Majesty Te Queen, the inaugural Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance took place in the Upper Ward of the historic Royal Castle in celebration of her Diamond Jubilee. Bentley Motors was the title sponsor of the unique gathering that included 60 of the world’s most rare and desirable cars, many of them never seen before in the UK. Te event marked the frst time in the Castle’s history that an event of this type was allowed to be held on grounds never normally accessible by the public. Nearly all of the entrants – with the oldest dating from 1896 – were driven in convoy by their owners into the Castle grounds on September 7 and out two days later on the September 9.

Victor Muller, owner of the Rolls-Royce Phantom 1 Barker Open Tourer built in 1929 remarked: “As a seasoned collector for over 30 years, I thought I had seen it all – Villa d’Este, Pebble Beach… but nothing prepared me for this event. It was overwhelming. The organization was flawless, the location to die for and the quality of the cars the best possible.” Bentley, Royal Warrant Holders and manufacturers of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s State Limousine, hosted the Pegasus Club, a VIP reception and dining area inside the Castle walls. The company’s latest flagship, the hand-built Bentley Mulsanne, played a prominent role chaufeuring owners and their guests throughout the event.

Over the weekend, visitors were able to enjoy displays by numerous car clubs. The Royal Automobile Club brought 60 British Classics as part of their “Best of British” Tour, while the Aston Martin Owners Club also brought 60 cars that were displayed in a timeline to represent each year of HM Te Queen’s reign. In total there were more than 800 cars on display. With the permission of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, his 1969 Seychelles Blue Aston Martin Volante DB6 MKII (last and most notably seen leaving Te Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding reception last year) was on display. One of the rarest and most sought-after Aston Martins, Te Prince had it converted to run on bioethanol fuel produced from waste generated by English wine production and whey, a by-product of cheese making. While a traditional concours would normally include a judging panel to select a “winning” car, Windsor Castle
Concours of Elegance organizers maintained that each of the 60 cars was already a winner just for being invited to participate. However, owners were asked to vote for the car they would “most like to drive home in” and thereby selected the “Best in Show”: a 1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Touring Berlinetta owned by Jon Shirley, a noted collector and former president of Microsoft. Shirley was presented with the “Pullman Trophy,” based on the Concours’ Pegasus logo and designed by renowned model-maker John Elwell and Simon Khachadourian, owner of London's Pullman Gallery. It is crafted of engineering-quality aluminum fabricated entirely by hand over many months in Elwell's atelier. Te highly polished piece is mounted on a plinth of wood from a walnut tree felled in Windsor Great Park. Proceeds from the event will be split equally between Cancer Research UK, Marie Curie Cancer Care, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity and East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices. sl

Te Willamette Valley, Oregon
Te Willamette Valley of Oregon is the preeminent spot for viticulture in the state. Te area is located in northwestern Oregon and is bordered by Portland to the north and Eugene to the south; it spans some 150 miles with its largest width being 60 miles. It has 12,000 acres of grape vines and just over 200 wineries. Te number one grape without question is Pinot Noir, with secondary grapes of Pinot Gris (synonymous with Pinot Grigio), Chardonnay and Riesling, among others, also planted on a smaller scale. Most high quality Pinot Noir is planted in the northern Willamette Valley and all of the following seven sub-regions are located within the northern Willamette: Chehalem Mountains, Ribbon Ridge, Yamhill-Carlton District, Dundee Hills, McMinnville and Eola-Amity Hills. The Valley is named for the Willamette River that runs through the center of the valley. While the Willamette is a valley, most of the best viticulture takes place on beautiful hillsides and slopes that possess varying soils of volcanic and sedimentary seabed.

Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier
Modern-day winemaking has only occurred for just over 40 years, and the Willamette Valley has only been an ofcial American Viticulture Area (AVA) since 1984. Pioneers such as David Lett of Eyrie Vineyards, Dick Erath of Erath Winery, David Adelsheim of Adelsheim Vineyards, Richard Ponzi of Ponzi Vineyards and Bill Sokol Blosser of Sokol Blosser planted grapes in the mid-1960s to the 1970s, despite experts saying you could not grow wine grapes in the Willamette Valley. Trough esprit de corps, these wineries persevered. Then, in 1979, Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Noir won an international wine competition in Paris, and this helped to legitimize Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Veronique Drouhin-Boss of famed Domaine Joseph Drouhin was an intern at several Willamette Valley wineries, including Adelsheim, and shortly thereafter David Adelsheim helped her father Robert Drouhin find land for a winery and vineyards. Consequently, the famous Burgundian, maker of fne Burgundy wine at Domain Joseph Drouhin, bought land and started a winery in 1988, further legitimizing the fact that Willamette is a high quality wine region capable producing world-class wine.
Robert Drouhin was struck by the similarities of the Willamette Valley to Burgundy, and as the pioneers hypothesized years before, the Pinot Noir grape loves the cool climate and has thrived in the Willamette Valley. With vibrant New World winemaking fruit and the acid structure and minerals of Old World, cool climate winemaking, the Pinot Noir grape in Willamette Valley is capable of producing wines that strike a balance between California and Burgundy. The wineries of Willamette Valley and Oregon further increased the integrity of their Pinot Noir by getting the minimum grape percentage approved to a higher 90% versus the 75% minimum in California and the rest of the United States. Additionally, green agriculture is huge in Willamette Valley and Oregon with well over a dozen certifications offered, such as Certifed Organic and Salmon Safe. The small charming towns of Dundee, Newburg and McMinnville, the beautiful and welcoming vineyards, and the delicious local food items such as salmon, Oregon Dungeness
Crab and hazelnuts (Oregon produces 99% of the nation’s hazelnuts) all combine to make Willamette Valley a great place to visit, dine and drink excellent Pinot Noir.

Curating a Lifestyle: Vintage Vibe
Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers

Until the 1950s, posters were produced using stone lithography, a process that relies on the inherent opposition of oil and water. To create a stone lithographic print, an image was drawn in reverse upon limestone quarried from Germany using a greasy medium. Next, the entire stone was dampened with a solution of gum arabic and rolled with printing ink, which adheres to the greasy drawing but not to the moistened areas of the stone. Finally, the paper was pressed to the stone to print the inked design. This process of inking and printing could be repeated numerous times for one poster depending on the number of colors appearing in the image. Tough time consuming, the process of stone lithography captured the intricacy and vibrancy of the artist’s original works.
1.) Publicity graphics artist, Filippo Romoli, achieved acclaim for his prolifc work in the 1920’s and 30’s that helped to promote tourism in Italy. Known for his Futurism style, Romoli utilized a more classical design in this example. Sold, Garth’s (in a suite of three), $382. 2.) Divan Japonais was a Parisian dinner theater frequented by Toulouse-Lautrec. Tis poster, produced in 1892/1893 and advertising the nightspot features two of his favorite Montmartre stars, Yvette Guilbert and Jane Avril. Sold , Garth’s, $2,185. 3.) An 1885 broadside advertising the Orrville, Ohio community celebration of Andrew Jackson's victory at the Battle of New Orleans. Patrons were plied with renowned local speakers, dancing and “excursion rates on all railroads.” Sold, Garth’s, $1,998. 4.) Striking posters can be found at every price point, including free! Tis contemporary example was distributed to promote a music and food festival in Columbus, Ohio. A sleek, professional frame elevates the simple handout to a work of art. Private collection, Est: $100 - $200 5.) “Guinness for Strength” was an advertising campaign created in the 1930’s and 40’s in the face of falling sales for the Irish dry stout. Te campaign included humorous images such as this Santa, drawn by artist John Gilroy and considered to be one of the most notable ad campaigns of the 20th Century. Private Collection, Est: $3,500 - $4,500.
Tere’s something about a well-written advertising slogan or jingle; the sort of catchy message that is hard to get out of your mind. You know, tunes like “wouldn’t you like to be a pepper, too?” Great advertising campaigns can become an iconic representation of a moment in time, capturing the pop culture spirit of a generation. Before radio and television, successful marketers in the 19th and (much of the) 20th century created memorable brand messages by utilizing high impact graphics on product packaging or in print advertisements. Posters, an inexpensive and disposable method of enticing potential buyers with products or experiences, became a popular method of reaching a large audience. Te bolder and more colorful the images, the more likely the viewer was to shell out the money for the product or adventure. From the artists who created

the content to the paper and process used to make them, vintage posters provide a broad range of choices for collector or decorator, including automobile, travel, political and even circus. No matter where your collecting interests lie, there is likely a vintage poster category that appeals to you. For cinephiles, it can be the memories evoked in darkened movie theaters of Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman or countless other stars. If you are certifed in wanderlust, travel posters, depicting ocean liners, exotic lands, airplanes and trains capture the sense of excitement at the thought of a journey taken at a time when travel truly was an adventure. Politicos may be more mesmerized by historic signifcance and catchy campaign slogans than graphic imagery, but the effect of a 19th century broadside in a well-

appointed library can be dramatic. Fashionistas will appreciate the classic stylings illustrated by such famed artists as Toulouse-Lautrec and Erte. And, certainly, the bon vivants among us will salivate over the opportunity to grace their walls with the delectable imagery from food, wine and beer posters. Dedicated vintage poster collectors look for rare and popular titles and products and, above all, condition. Paper is inherently fragile and since most posters were hung both indoors and outdoors at some point in their life, damages such as fading, rips, tears, and fold lines are often inevitable. Top dollar is paid for those titles that are scarce, popular, and in unused condition. For those of us seeking a visually engaging, historically interesting addition to our decor at more moderate prices, the sheer volume of mass-
produced posters ensures something for every price point. Peruse auctions and dealers online; and for those born into luck, check out local garage and estate sales - sometimes posters fly under the radar of serious collectors. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shy away from works with minor condition issues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; well-framed, these posters can be just as visually appealing as their pristine counterparts. As with any collecting category, buy what you love and have fun in the hunt for new acquisitions.

Situated on close to one hundred and ffty private acres of parkland, woods and pasture, this imposing structure at frst glance resembles an Italian country mansion, with its formal gateposts, geometric forecourt and stately proportions. So striking is the edifce, in fact, that my frst inclination is to park around the side and look for what we call back home the tradesmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance. Resisting the urge, I instead approach the front door, where I am met by the owners, a charming and engaging couple who, with their designer, Julie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien of Julie Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien Design Group, have succeeded in creating an inviting, one might even say cozy, home from a structure which in less capable hands might easily have become overwhelming and impersonal.

Timeless beauty and craftsmen’s handiwork are down every hall and around every corner.
To give an idea of the scale of this house, it took the stone masons two years to complete their work outside and in, using hundreds of tons of Indiana limestone from Green County. When the project was fnished, the tradesmen, who had spent every day for the better part of three years on site, were invited to a garden party with their families. Over four hundred people showed up to celebrate their accomplishment. Until relatively recently, there was an unspoken rule in Indiana that the best things in life always came from somewhere else. Te best vegetables were from California, the best lamb from New Zealand, the best marble from Italy, and the best art from New York. Te turning of twenty-frst century has marked a sea change in our perception of where we stand relative to the rest of the world; nowhere is this more admirably demonstrated than in our featured home, where as much material and labor as feasible was sourced locally. Te owner makes the point, as if explaining the obvious that: “if Indiana limestone is good enough for Washington DC, it should be good enough for us.” For designer O’Brien, limestone was a unifying element throughout, in one form or another. “Whether it was from Indiana or France, or in the form of marble, everything was rusticated. Te granite countertops were honed for that “beenaround” look, and the slate in the bath and laundry rooms were honed to look like limestone,” she said. Exquisite craftsmanship abounds: the breathtaking plasterwork, the kind that you just almost never see in these prefab days of sheetrock and drywall, was executed by a local artisan in his seventies. The magnificent custom millwork in the husband’s ofce, using alder and hickory, so detailed and intricate that there’s actually a barrel vault in a doorway between two rooms, was painstakingly crafted by local carpenters. It is work as fne as any you’ll see in some of the grandest homes in Europe, and it was all done right here. If a stroll through this remarkable home doesn’t instill and reafrm local pride, then little will. 72 slmag.net

Te master bath could have stepped out of an ancient Roman tableau.
Frequently, a house of this sheer magnitude can’t be anything but big, and one can get the impression of being a lone pea in a particularly cavernous pod, bouncing from one oversized space to another. That’s not the case here. Instead, quite surprisingly, there’s an informal, almost casual quality to even the largest rooms, engendering a sense of familiarity and comfort. As the designer explains it: “with quite a few children in the house and a lot of activity, the idea was to create an open central zone so you know where everyone else is and you can keep an eye on things.” Proportion and scale are crucial to the authenticity of the building: the rustic stack stone columns and maple ceiling in the living room would seem overwhelming in a more modest environment, but here, balanced by the freplace with its herringbone chimney and the voluminous sofas, one gets the impression of the cozy yet spacious quality of a European hunting lodge. 76 slmag.net

Inspired by a former Broad Ripple restaurant, the designer created a private getaway nook.
Te wife’s favorite space, the frst of the living areas one encounters of the main entryway, is all about air and light, with its vaulted ceiling and vibrant artwork contrasting with the burnished wood tones of the monumental furniture. By contrast, the husband’s preferred spot for reading and relaxing is the four-season sun room with its splendid view of the woods and wildlife, complete with yet another freplace for the winter months. “Tere were” says O’Brien, “two contrasting sensibilities at work. Te wife was interested in the modern, light approach; the husband was drawn towards a more rustic, oldworld feel. Part of my job was to marry these two attitudes into a clean, simple, but somewhat rustic design.” If the main floor, with the husband’s elegantly paneled office and its various sitting areas, is about work and relaxation, downstairs is strictly for recreation. Here, in what the owners describe as “the football fan’s dream room” you can watch a diferent show on one of fve fat screen televisions accompanied by a refreshment or two from the well-stocked bar. Alternatively, if you fancy a bit of peace and quiet, there’s an unusual little cell-like niche, with a solid pub-style table, bars on the windows and seating for two. Based on a room in an old Broad Ripple restaurant, it’s a quirky and unique feature. To end our hour-long tour, we visit the soundproof cinema, with its ample plush seating and proscenium stage. Transported from California, this is no ordinary home theater. With its high-defnition giant screen, rumbling surround sound and Kaleidescape storage system for thousands of flms, it’s a cineaste’s dream. Ten again, so is the entire house. sl

FROM BIKER BAR TO BROAD RIPPLE’S BUSTLING DINING DESTINATION Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung “Close enough to Broad Ripple to be cool, but far enough away to fnd a free parking space.” Tat’s how restaurateur Nicole Harlan-Oprisu describes her prime location on College Avenue: right in the middle of an afuent, settled neighborhood, but removed from the nocturnal chaos of Broad Ripple. Now in its third year of operation, Te Northside Social occupies what was once a popular biker bar, then a struggling café. Nicole remembers how she used to drive by the strip center, watching its gradual decline, realizing what the place needed was “a restaurant, a place where everyone in the neighborhood could meet.” And so was born Northside Social, a gathering place for people who have perhaps moved on from the Broad Ripple scene, but still know how to have a good time. When Nicole and her partners, Tim Oprisu and Bill and Nancy Ficca, acquired the property, it was in an advanced state of disrepair. Te windows were blacked out, and the only salvageable object of any worth was the walk-in cooler. Unrecognizable now, with its vast angular zinc bar and coolly contemporary furnishings, the restaurant achieved almost instant popular and critical success upon opening its doors in 2009. Bustling and lively, and on occasion just a little boisterous, this is the ideal spot to relax, unwind, run into a few friends, or have a second date. Te dress code is strictly come as you are, so you’ll fnd folks of all stripes rubbing shoulders.

Lemon Shake-Up
Serving up a modern menu of upscale comfort food, with a strong emphasis on meats, fsh and poultry, with a good selection of pastas, executive chef Miguel Cordero combines boldly traditional American cooking with more subtle Mediterranean infuences. Tis isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t food for the efete or the nitpicky: this is serious grub, targeted at folks with an appetite and a taste for hearty favors. Portions are generous, and favor combinations are assertive. Some restaurants try to make little artistic statements out of comfort food; here, the only statement the food makes is great and plenty of it. Tending to the lubrication side of things is beverage director Charles Schumacher, a Bostonian transplant, who ofers up a panoply of Prohibitionera signature cocktails, featuring modern cordials, bitters and mixers. The results are vibrant and fresh, a far cry from great-grandpaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highballs, but equally intoxicating. Tese are drinks which satisfy our taste for efusive favors, but eschew the cloying nature of so many popular drinks. Te results are clever, sophisticated, yet unpretentious.

Similarly, the wine list takes the tried and tested progressive format, where wines are arranged by style, and throws in a few lesser-known grapes, such as the increasingly popular Spanish Mencia, justly celebrated for producing superbly food-friendly wines. Viognier, Nicole explains, is fast becoming a favorite amongst the wine-savvy clientele, with its lush tropical favors and easy-going personality. While Te Northside Social is only open for dinner and drinks, Chef Miguel performs double duty in the kitchen serving lunch six days a week next door at Northside Kitchenette, a light and airy space opened in 2010. Ofering a lighter menu of sandwiches, salads and breakfast dishes from eleven to three, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a popular place, and can become pleasantly boisterous at peak hours, which makes the covered patio such a popular place with those seeking a bit more solitude. Warmish in the fall and agreeably shaded in the summer, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a most agreeable spot to enjoy a spot of semi-alfresco lunch. While its main focus might be mid-day fare, Northside Kitchenette also provides a full catering service for functions of almost any shape or form, both on and of-premise.

As if these two restaurants didn’t ofer enough temptation for the palate, Nicole and her partners recently opened up Village Cigar, a stylish little joint just across the patio from the main restaurant. Reminiscent of the sort of establishment you might fnd in the Caribbean, it’s elegant in a fashionably shabby way, like a favorite old linen suit that you don’t want to give up on just yet. With a solid bar fashioned from an old Amish barn, sealed concrete foors and a huge distressed mirror on the back wall, you can almost see it in black and white, a flm set from a steamy forties movie about smugglers and ne’er do wells. Catering to the new breed of cigar smoker and ofering a fne range of craft cocktails, this is destined to become a bustling destination. If you don’t happen to be a smoker, not to worry: the air extraction here is frst-rate. Not a bad theme for the Social, Kitchenette and the cigar bar: First rate. First class, all the way. And yet, you can’t come to any of these establishments more than a time or two and not feel more than a little like you’ve just stepped into the Broad Ripple version of Cheers. Tese purveyors of fne food and drink are places where it won’t take long till everybody will know your name. Your brand. Your favorite entrée. And you will be back. Again and Again. sl The Northside Social is located at 6525 North College Avenue. For more information, visit northsidesocial.com or call 317.253.0111.
