From the Editor-In-Chief “I just had the worst date with the best girl.” I’ve never been so thankful for a good friend’s misfortune than the night I heard those words. Twenty-three years ago. From Bruce Tishler, a longtime family friend who is older than I and who just sort of assumed the responsibility for being the big brother I didn’t have. In other words, he was always trying to fx me up – me, the 30-year-old bachelor on the loose doing some business in South Florida and living in Indianapolis. Tose were the frst words out of my buddy’s mouth when he called me late one night and proceeded to tell me how he, not I, got introduced and had a date with the woman who is now my wife. I’m still not quite sure of all the details, but I’m sure happy they met – and that they didn’t hit it of. They agreed on that. And before the date ended, Bruce had asked Jen Hutchison if she’d like to meet a friend of his. She took a chance on a blind date and agreed. My pal called me that same night, and I called Jen the very next day. We talked for hours and agreed to meet when I got back to Indianapolis. We started of as strangers, graduated to dating and fell in and out of the relationship (and love, all because of my commitment phobia) a time or two during the next 13 years. Finally, I woke up to the fact that I’d been staring at my perfect life’s companion all the time. Ever since that frst date at the old Bazbeaux in Broad Ripple in February 1991, no matter our relationship status, one thing has never changed: we’re each other’s best friend. And now we’re business partners. Take a look at page 28, and you’ll see a new name in the publisher’s slot: Jennifer Cohen. I get to work with the person I love the most, doing what we both love to do. It’s a pretty cool gig, and a pretty cool life. This month – November 23rd, to be exact – we’ll celebrate our 10th anniversary. I wish it were our 23rd, but married or not, we’ve had a great run. Tere’s no one I’d rather be with – except our two little munchkins, Gracie, 8, and Izzy, 6. So here’s to my wife: a million thanks for 10 years of wedded bliss, two amazing children, 23 years of friendship and a chance to work together at building the next stages of our life. And of course, I can’t forget Bruce. Tanks, dude. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am that your date with my (future) wife was awful. But I’m equally happy that your assessment of the young lady you didn’t click with was absolutely spot-on: Te. Best. Girl. EVER!

Sauternes and Chateau d’ Yquem How Sauternes grapes are grown is the most amazing process. Grapes are essentially allowed to rot on the vine. Te Sauternes region, just south of the city of Bordeaux, has a special climate, which produces the perfect storm of conditions for Botrytis Cinerea or “noble rot” (in French “pourriture noble”). This process would be a disaster for vineyard’s producing dry wines. Te Ciron River creates fog, and when this cool humid condition is followed by a warm, dry afternoon, the stage is set for the growth of Botrytis. Botrytis is a fungus that essentially attacks the grapes. Te mold pierces the skin of the grapes, dehydrating them, concentrating the sugars and favor compounds. Wineries harvest only by hand and make numerous passes through the vineyards to allow Botrytis to afect as many grapes and bunches as possible. This painstaking process, as well as the dramatic reduction in yields, drives up the cost signifcantly but produces a wine of great intensity and concentration that is oozing with the favors of honey, apricot, citrus, caramel and spice. In 1855 the wines of Sauternes were classifed. Tis sub region of Bordeaux, France within Graves produces some of the world’s greatest dessert wines. The classification of Sauternes is often overshadowed by the 1855 classifcations of the best red wines of Bordeaux. In fact many afcionados are unaware that Sauternes, despite being keenly aware of their superior quality, were classifed at the same time. Tere are three levels to the classification: Superior First Growth (Premier Cru Supérieur), First Growth (Premier Cru) and Second Growth (Deuxième Cru). Within the fve villages that can label their wines Sauternes (Sauternes, Barsac, Fargues, Preignac and Bommes), there are principally three grapes grown. Te most important is Sémillon. Semillon comprises the majority of the blend and has a waxy or lanolin texture combined with the honey and citrus favors. Sauvignon Blanc is secondary and lends the crispness, keeping the sweet wine from being cloying, along with lemon and a slight herbaceous quality accompanied by tropical fruits. Lastly the Muscadelle grape lends foral qualities. Once the grapes are harvested, the wines are fermented. Te fermentation is stopped, so copious amounts of natural grape sugar are left, making it a deliciously sweet wine. Often aged in oak to add complexity and flavor, these wines are capable of ageing for decades and, in the most exceptional cases, even longer.
Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier
Château d' Yquem, Sauternes In the simplest of possible terms, Chateau d’ Yquem is legendary; it stands alone as the only Superior First Growth in Sauternes. The Chateau has produced wine for over 400 years and has the resources to simply not produce wine in poor years such as 1992 and 2012. Additionally it will send its pickers through the vineyards over a dozen of times to pick only ripe Botrytis grapes. It is no wonder why a half bottle of the wine costs hundreds of dollars. D’ Yquem will occasionally produce a dry white wine simply labeled Y. It is modestly labeled Bordeaux Blanc, and while I have never tried it, its reputation is excellent. Te luxury goods conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH) now owns Chateau d’ Yquem after hundreds of years of family ownership. Tomas Jeferson, while minister to France and before becoming President of the United States, learned of the great estate while in France, and when he returned, he purchased the wine for himself and George Washington. Tasting note on 1982 Château d' Yquem I have tried this wine twice, once in the late 1980s and again in 2013. Both times by the generosity of a wonderful lady named Sandy. Te stage was set nicely by enjoying a delicious bottle of 1982 Chateau Mouton-Rothchild with dinner. With the Sauternes we served the classic accompaniment, blue veined cheese. Te color was golden copper. Te aroma leaped from the glass with favors of honey, caramel, apricot, sweet citrus, fresh cream, vanilla and light baking spices. Te wine on the palate was rich, sweet but not cloying, with bright acidity and a rich viscous texture. Te fnish was insanely long with all the favors lasting in the palate for what seemed like hours. An absolutely incredible bottle of wine that stands as one of the fnest dessert wines I have ever had the pleasure to try. Tank you, Sandy! Additional Recommended Sauternes Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey, Bommes (Sauternes) First Growth Sauternes and Château Rabaud-Promis, Bommes (Sauternes) First Growth Sauternes. sl

Curating a Lifestyle: Elevating Exoticism
Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers
While Asian buyers display an enthusiastic appetite for antique material culture, there is a strong interest in contemporary art and jewelry, as well. Tis triptych is by Chinese-born Michigan artist, Chuang Che. Sold, Garth’s, $45,790.
Beginning with Marco Polo’s fantastic descriptions of his adventures across Cathay, our collective Western curiosity about an exotic Eastern world has seemed, at times, insatiable. The earliest visitors to Asia were compelled to return by the indescribable sights and sounds they experienced. Returning home laden with trinkets and treasures reminiscent of the unique styles, favors and culture of the region was the norm. Even today, despite the instantaneous (and voyeuristic) opportunities to connect with people all over the globe, travel remains the only way to immerse and truly experience a culture that is distinctively diferent from the relative homogeneity on our side of the globe. Souvenirs remain tactile reminders of our time there. One of the world’s oldest civilizations, China, developed in near isolation until the Age of Discovery brought European ships looking for new trading partners and prompted the start of a robust export economy that would last through the 21st century. It should come as no surprise that the earliest demand for Chinese exports was for the eponymous porcelain goods now known to the world as “china”. Decorated to appeal to each specifc market for which it was created, china made for export was inspired by the bits of material culture brought by Western traders to the Eastern shores. Coins, fabrics, paintings and the visitors themselves served as valuable illustration of the world in which the end-users lived. For centuries, collectors all over the globe valued these exported treasures. Today, as China flourishes and thousands of new millionaires every year look for creative ways to faunt and enjoy their wealth, the export goods that drove an economy and made history are not what appeals to this generation of spenders. After all, exported goods were always intended for someone else.
34 slmag.net
Wealthy Chinese buyers are motivated to buy back their culture: the everyday and ceremonial objects that cumulatively tell the ancestral story of China. Tese buyers crave carvings (particularly in rare and precious materials), jewelry and textiles - objects that were never intended for export, but found their way out of China via a steady stream of tourists and on to mantles, bookshelves and attics throughout the Western world. For the most part overlooked by their Western caretakers, good Chinese antiques explode in price when they reach the market in a qualifed venue with Internet exposure. Te appetite and voracity with which Chinese collectors pursue the best objects is truly inspiring. With just a bit of study, understanding the passion is simple: these buyers love quality, beauty, luxury and (most importantly) their heritage. Under one Chinese Dynasty (the now revered Qing period), not quite perfect was not quite acceptable, and objects that did not meet the strict standards of the emperor were destroyed. It isn’t surprising that examples of antique porcelain, jade and ivory from that period consistently outperform any other. The burgeoning interest in Asian antiquities is driving tastemakers everywhere to look to the East for interior design and fashion inspiration. So, break out that Rose Medallion punch bowl and set it on the silk embroidered shawl Aunt Millie brought back from her trip in the 60s. Eastern exotic is hot, and the auction forecast is calling for an Indian summer. sl
Amelia and Jef Jefers are the co-owners of Garth's Auctioneers & Appraisers, an international frm located outside Columbus, Ohio.
International transport of ivory is quite restricted, but antiques with appropriate paperwork are generally exempt - allowing bidders from all over the world to compete on the oldest and best objects. Tis vase was intricately carved in three pieces by a well-known artist. Sold, Garth’s, $55,813.
Buddha statues are infnitely collectible, but early examples from tribal regions of Asia are particularly hot in today’s market. Tis 18th Century Mongolian example has a wonderful surface. Sold, Garth’s, $70,500.
Tis jade bowl embodies the major factors driving a bullish Asian Arts market: luxurious materials, incredible workmanship and authentic age. A lucky collector in Hong Kong now enjoys it in his collection. Sold, Garth’s, $162,500.

Aerial view of oceanfront estate homes on Kiawah Island.
Kiawah Island Written by Bridget Williams
“White denim, white shoes and white wine…it’s time for Kiawah,” a friend wrote on her Facebook newsfeed to relay the start of her annual Southern summer sojourn. A barrier island of just 13.5 square miles located 15 miles south of Charleston, South Carolina, Kiawah’s frst summer home neighborhood was established in 1954, though its history of habitation stretches back to the Kiawah Indians, who ceded the island to the Earl of Shaftesbury in 1675. The island as its known today, encompassing a unique combination of public/private amenities – including championship golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus, Pete Dye, Tom Watson and Tom Fazio, clustered condominium developments, a fve-star beachfront resort hotel, the member’s only Kiawah Island Club and a host of upscale neighborhood concepts carefully planned to exist in harmony with the topography – began to take shape in 1974 when Kuwait Investment Corporation acquired the property and developed a master plan. 36 slmag.net
An exhaustive list of activities and the area’s immense natural beauty has endeared and enticed generations; once you enter through the gated entry, you are forever part of the Kiawah Island family. While there are short-stay and rental properties available at nearly every price point, each ofering a distinct vacation experience, there exists a strong sense of community, spurred on by an active group of property owners that hail from around the globe. Kiawah’s busy multi-use asphalt path covers some 30+ miles, and a leisurely pedal on one of the ubiquitous beach cruisers instantly removes any feelings of pretense. Te hardpacked sand on the wide beaches provides another 10 miles for biking, running and walking. Keep an eye out for one of the approximately 600 American alligators living in the brackish and freshwater ponds that dot the pathways; some days they seemed to be omnipresent, while on others they proved to be quite elusive.
Te Beach Club is the summer social hub for members of the Kiawah Island Club.

Property owners and registered island guests have access to the diverse offerings provided by the Kiawah Island Golf Resort. Host of the 2007 Senior PGA and the 2012 PGA Championships, the Ocean Course was ranked the #4 Public Golf Course in U.S. and 25th amongst the 100 Greatest U.S. Golf Courses by Golf Digest. Its corresponding brick and wood shingled clubhouse is ideally suited to take on the attractive patina provided by the salty air and constant coastal breezes. A fine dining experience awaits at The Atlantic Room, where Executive Chef Jonathan Banta’s seasonal creations are lovely enough to take your eyes off the view of the ocean and the 18th green. Also ranked on Golf Digest’s 100 Greatest Public Course list, the Jack Nicklaus-designed Turtle Point golf course boasts a traditional design that tests strategy and accuracy. Tom Fazio is responsible for the design of the par-72 Osprey Point course, with a topography that encompasses four large natural lakes, saltwater marsh inlets and the Deep South’s hallmark dense maritime forests. Also a par-72 course, Oak Point is laid out on the grounds of a former cotton and indigo plantation. Redesigned by Gary Player in 1996, the Cougar Point golf course 38 slmag.net
features a mix of short and long par-fours, risk/reward par-fves and scenic yet challenging par-threes. Dining options are numerous and run the gamut from fne dining at The Ocean Room inside The Sanctuary Resort to a diverse lineup of casual eateries scattered amidst fashion and home boutiques and upscale grocery and sporting retailers at the newly opened Freshfelds Village, which lies just outside the island’s security station. Arguably one of the most treasured dining experiences and the longest standing tradition on Kiawah is the Mingo Point Oyster Roast and BBQ. A clearing on the banks of the Kiawah River canopied by ancient live oaks provides a picturesque setting for one of the largest oyster roasts in the low country. Following a bufet dinner of Southern specialties, adults can grab a rocking chair to admire the sunset or dance to live music, while the children are entertained with planned activities and a presentation by the Kiawah naturalists. The most exclusive amenities belong to property owners who are members of the Kiawah Island Club. Golfers can enjoy Cassique, a 7,050-yard, par-72 course designed by Tom Watson to be reminiscent of British links, or the Tom Fazio-designed

7,039-yard River Course, with six holes that play along the river’s edge and the remaining fairways and greens nestled up to marsh savannas, ponds and maritime forests. Both courses are complemented by architecturally distinct clubhouses accentuated by distinguished dining opportunities. Consulting Chef Tom Colicchio designed the menu at Voysey’s at Cassique; attentive and well-versed dining attendants as well as the striking interior design and exterior vistas make Kiawah Island Club Executive Chef Doug Blair’s skillful implementation of the menu even more memorable. Adjacent to the River Course is Sasanqua, a member’s only spa with treatment rooms that seem to float over the tall marsh grasses. Designed both inside and out to blend in with its natural surroundings (including low country derived ingredients in treatment products), the sound of falling water coming from a fountain at the start of the cantilevered walkway to the front entrance induces a state of tranquility that is blissfully maintained throughout the duration of time spent within Sasquana’s soothing environs. Designed by the same architect responsible for the clubhouse at the nearby Ocean Course and ideally positioned amidst the dunes along Kiawah’s most secluded stretch of
beach, Te Beach Club has been the hub of Te Kiawah Island Club since it opened in 1994. With separate pools for families and adults-only, an ocean-front bar, beach attendants and water sports activities, both fine casual and swimsuit casual dining options and a sport shop, Te Beach Club provides a comfortable home base for sublime summer idling. Guided by a stalwart eye for environmental sensitivity, clustered home sites are planned and released gradually over time, leaving large swaths of the island still undeveloped. Taking the conservation approach even further, Candace Dyal, president of Dyal Compass LLC and a long-time Kiawah Island homeowner, is developing Indigo Park, which is comprised of 16 home sites boasting picturesque views and enough eco-friendly amenities to attain LEED certifcation while remaining incredibly low-maintenance. Released in mid-October, Kiawah’s newest development, Ocean Park, is situated on the island’s farthest tip, offering unparalled privacy and views of the neighboring Ocean Course amidst the ancient cathedral oaks and quiet marshlands. For all that Kiawah Island has become, what has remained constant is the pursuit of simple pleasures with family and friends that continues to enchant and entice generations of visitors. slmag.net

Omni Mt. Washington Resort Written by Eric Williams
There’s something undeniably alluring about America’s historic grand dame resorts; the charm of yesteryear resonates through their grand gathering spaces and architecture that has stood the test of time to become an unabashed symbol of the pursuit of leisure. The Omni Mt. Washington, built in 1902 and situated at the base of 6,288-foot Mount Washington, the highest peak in the Northeast and surrounded by the 800,000 acres of the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire, is certainly part of this esteemed group. Te iconic peaked red roofine of the Spanish Renaissance architecture is particularly striking in winter in comparison to the monochromatic backdrop created by mountains blanketed in snow. Also on the property is the quaint Omni Bretton Arms Inn, a restored 34-room inn and National Historic Landmark built in 1896. Omni Hotels began management of the property, which also includes Bretton Woods, New Hampshire’s largest ski area, in 2009, and has embarked on a continuous campaign of 40 slmag.net
upgrades and improvements across all areas of hotel operations, totaling in excess of $70 million to date. Some of the most notable include a restoration of the 18-hole Mount Washington Golf Course, a new 25,000-square-foot spa, 20,000-squarefoot conference center, outdoor pool complex and renovated guestrooms, lobby and public spaces. The design of new wallpaper in the guest room corridors pays homage to the hotel’s original Tifany stained glass lighting fxtures. Each of the 200 guestrooms and suites were designed by Beaty and Brown of Richmond, Virginia to have a distinct residential appeal. A new Family Suite encompasses 1,400 square feet and features a living room with a freplace and two separate children’s rooms. Additional lodging opportunities on the sprawling campus include more than 60 fully furnished condo units ranging in size from two-to-fve bedrooms and 50 contemporary guestrooms in Te Lodge, located just steps away from Bretton Woods.

Te lobby of the historic resort, constructed in 1902.
Updates to the Omni Mt. Washington Resort’s casual food and beverage venues include converting a Prohibition-era speakeasy into Te Cave, a cozy tavern with stick stone walls that takes design cues from an English pub; refreshing the menu at Stickney’s to a pub-style steakhouse with an emphasis on farmto-table fare; and converting a former train station into Fabyan’s Station, a family dining venue inspired by railway history. My arrival for a long weekend getaway last winter coincided with record low temperatures. With weather not ft for man or beast, I wasn’t surprised to learn that a planned dog sledding excursion had to be rescheduled to the following day. So after settling in and getting my bearings by exploring the property, I headed straight for the heated outdoor pool, easily discernable for the veil of steam enveloping it. Getting out was the hard part – the mad dash to cross the 15 feet from the edge of the pool to the warmth of the locker room was brutal. The following morning we caught the hotel shuttle to the Bretton Woods ski area. Ideal for skiers of all abilities, the property offers alpine skiing and snowboarding with 102 downhill trails and glades, as well as a full-service PSIA ski school, 42 slmag.net
rentals, clinics and special events. Nordic skiing and snowshoeing are also available on a 60-mile tracked and skate groomed trail network, including more than six miles of dog-friendly trails. Winter hiking trails, ice-skating and snow tubing are also ofered. Te same trail network also makes for enjoyable mountain biking and day hikes outside of ski season. Introduced last season, a program of guided winter adventures are led by a talented team of guides who take guests of every ftness level skiing deep into the woods, climbing ice-covered clif faces, snowshoeing to high summits and beyond. Also introduced last season, a partnership with New England Disabled Sports provides expanded programming, adaptive equipment and experienced volunteers to help persons with special needs experience the outdoors. At the top of a new 2,000-foot T-Bar near the summit of Mount Stickney, a new 600-square-foot log cabin with an exterior stone freplace and interior wood stove is a cozy spot to warm up in between runs. Following a full day on the slopes we arranged for a horsedrawn sleigh to escort us to dinner at the four-diamond Bretton Arms Dining Room, recently renovated along with the rest of

the historic inn. Chef Matt LeRose ofers seasonal menus that refect the North Country setting. Our second morning began with a few runs down the slopes before trying out another way to descend the mountains: the Bretton Woods Canopy Tour. Opened in 2008 and available year-round, participants skim the treetops while descending more than 1,000 feet via a network of nine zip lines. In between, there are crossings of suspension bridges, repelling of wood platforms and hiking trails to reach the next line. Following lunch, temperatures had risen enough to allow the aforementioned dog sledding excursion to get the go ahead, and the experience was certainly a highlight of the trip. Cocooned in blankets within the two-person sled, a powerful team of Alaskan Husky sled dogs was guided by an experienced musher around the grounds with the historic resort serving as a dramatic backdrop. Considering our nearly non-stop itinerary of exhilarating outdoor excursions, capping off the trip by unwinding in the 25,000-square-foot spa seemed apropos. Of the 13 treatment rooms, many with striking mountain views, there are five dedicated massage rooms, one couples treatment room, three
facial rooms, three multi-purpose rooms, and a deluxe wet room with a Vichy shower and treatment tub with air jets and color therapy. Te Spa also has a full-service “image center” for haircare, manicures and pedicures; a fitness studio outfitted with Cybex strength training equipment, cardio machines with individual entertainment systems and free weights; private locker rooms; a heated indoor pool and whirlpool and a year-round outdoor pool complex. As part of its commitment to sustainability, The Spa at the Omni Mt. Washington Resort offers customized Herbal Garden Treatments. The newest signature lineup is focused on herbal healing with ingredients sourced from the resort’s private herb garden. The Spa uses its own Mountain Mist line of customized spa products, created from local botanicals and named for the “misting” that is often seen on Mount Washington and the Presidential Range. Whether its zipping down the side of a mountain, discovering new culinary delights or enjoying having the kinks worked out by the hands of an experienced masseuse, the Omni Mt. Washington Resort serves up opportunities for oohs and aahs in abundance. sl slmag.net

O Canada!
Te Royal Canadian Yacht Club defends its title at the New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup, presented by Rolex Written by Bridget Williams Photography by Daniel Forster for Rolex Following a fercely contested week on the water, the Royal Canadian Yacht Club (RCYC) was confrmed as winner of the New York Yacht Club (NYYC) Invitational Cup presented by Rolex. In the process, the Toronto-based club successfully defended the title it won in 2011. The third edition of the popular biennial competition, held from September 7-14, welcomed 20 international yacht club teams from five continents and 13 diferent countries to Newport, Rhode Island. Te regatta, first held in 2009, is open to a limited number of the world's pre-eminent yacht clubs with crew composition strictly limited to non-professional sailors. With each of the 10-member crews racing identically matched Swan 42s, the competition promotes Corinthian sailing, rewarding preparation, teamwork and tactical expertise. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concept admired and embraced by those taking part.

Opening Ceremony - Harbour Court, NYYC's on-the-water clubhouse in Newport
“For me this is the best regatta in the world. Te amateur component is very unusual and adds something attractive to the event. Newport is a great sailing venue, where everyone seems to know about the sport,” remarked Javier Scherk, skipper of Spanish entry Real Club Náutico de Barcelona. “ Bruce Foye, skipper of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) team, one of the entrants to travel from furthest afeld explained: “It feels like a dream to come here. To sail in these waters, against international yacht clubs and represent the CYCA is something that we feel very honored to do. We have come to Newport to sail with the spirit of the event and enjoy the atmosphere.” Te CYCA was one of three clubs representing Australia. Te feet also comprised yacht clubs from Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom as well as four United States entries. As defending champion, the Royal Canadian Yacht Club (RCYC) began the competition as the team to beat but faced a determined onslaught from 19 skilled teams over fve days of competition. Helmed by Terry McLaughlin, the 1984 Olympic Silver medalist in the Flying Dutchman, the RCYC arrived in Newport with their entire winning crew from 2011, the only change being the inclusion of an additional
48 slmag.net
crew member, a result of an increase to the crew weight limit permitted in the class rules. Surprisingly, the RCYC began the competition poorly, not fnishing higher than seventh in the frst three races including a disappointing 14th in the frst race. Competition debutants Larchmont Yacht Club displayed the most consistent sailing on Narragansett Bay with three consecutive second places in the opening races, ensuring they carried the Rolex gold spinnaker as the standings leader. “The main thing that we focused on was starting in a clear lane and sailing straight, minimizing how much tacking we were doing,” explained tactician Cardwell Potts. Also mounting a promising start was the Japan Sailing Federation, the best performing non-North American team in the previous two editions. A fourth place on day one suggested the team was ready to mount a more sustained challenge for the title in 2013. “Te level of competition is higher than last time,” admitted helmsman Eiichiro Hamazaki, another sailor to enjoy the event’s alluring combination of competition and social activities. “Racing is very competitive, friendly and enjoyable. There is a high society atmosphere with the social events.” Three successive 10th place finishes during the middle of the competition ultimately extinguished the Japanese crew’s chances of challenging for the title.

Te crew of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club celebrating their title.
By the third day of the week the RCYC was easing into the competition. A further bullet, followed by a third and a seventh on the penultimate day of racing, enabled the RCYC to move ahead of Larchmont Yacht Club for the frst time in the week. It set up a beautifully poised fnal day. Te Americans were faced with the challenge of overcoming a tough, but manageable six-point gap. On the fnal day, Larchmont Yacht Club’s main adversary proved to be the weather and not the Canadian crew. In contrast to the 20 knots of breeze that heralded the first day of competition, the final day proved frustrating for both an expectant fleet and race committee. After a patient wait for breeze, racing eventually got underway in about seven knots of wind on Rhode Island Sound but a rapidly dying breeze eventually forced the abandonment of racing as there was be no possibility that the race could be completed within the time limit allowed. Te abandonment of racing meant the results from the previous day would stand. “We had a 200 metre lead,” said Nick Burns, skipper for Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club. “If we had actually finished it would have been marvelous, but this is sailing. It was the right thing to do [abandoning the race]; we had the last of the breeze and we never would have got to the top mark. It was sheer luck. Te wind lasted for us a tiny bit longer than for anybody else.”
“Te competition at this regatta is getting better and better every year,” refected McLaughlin. “Anyone who is here for the frst time has learned a lot and wants to come back.” Larchmont Yacht Club sealed an impressive second place while the fnal podium place belonged to the Royal Tames Yacht Club from the United Kingdom, who celebrated its status as the top nonNorth American fnisher. The week’s sailing and social events again proved popular with thoughts already turning to the next edition in September 2015. “We’ve had a fantastic time here, the hospitality offered by the locals and the NYYC has been absolutely tremendous. We’re keen to improve and do better in two years time,” explained Philippe Rogge, tactician for the Royal Belgian Sailing Club. For its excellence on the water, the Royal Canadian Yacht Club was rewarded with the New York Yacht Club Invitational Cup Trophy and a Rolex timepiece at the fnal prizegiving held at the New York Yacht Club. “Te competition at this regatta is getting better and better every year. Anyone who is here for the frst time has learned a lot and wants to come back,” said McLaughlin at the awards ceremony emphasizing his belief that the competition will be that much tougher in 2015. “On and of the water, no one does it like the New York Yacht Club,” he added. sl slmag.net

MARVEL AT MODERN A primer on the 12th edition of Art Basel Miami Written by Bridget Williams From December 5th through the 8th, the Miami Beach Convention Center will be home to Art Basel’s 12th edition, drawing 258 galleries from 31 countries around the globe that will be showing artwork ranging from modern masters to the latest contemporary works. A select group of younger American galleries are taking part in the show for the frst time, including Elizabeth Dee (NYC) and Corbett vs. Dempsey (Chicago) in the show’s Galleries sector, 47 Canal (NYC) in the Nova sector, and Bureau and Real Fine Arts (Brooklyn) in the Positions sector. Refecting the international show’s growing link to Asia, new galleries from the region include Tang Contemporary Art (Bangkok) and One and J. Gallery (Seoul), both in Positions. The focus of the show remains its Galleries sector, which includes 195 of the world’s most established galleries. Notable frst-time participant Pace/MacGill Gallery (NYC) is one of the leading international photography galleries. After a brief hiatus, Art Basel in Miami Beach is also welcoming back Foksal Gallery Foundation (Warsaw, Poland), Galerie Jocelyn Wolff (Paris), P.P.O.W (NYC) and Timothy Taylor Gallery (London). Several galleries who previously exhibited as part of Nova or Positions have progressed to the main sector of the show, including Gavlak Gallery (Palm Beach), Ingleby Gallery (Edinburgh, UK), Kavi Gupta Gallery (Chicago), Galerie Mezzanin (Vienna), Proyectos Monclova (Mexico City), Ratio 3 (San Francisco), Reena Spaulings Fine Art (NYC), Galeria Nara Roesler (São Paulo) and Wentrup (Berlin). Younger galleries, 34 in total, will be offered a platform to present work made in the last three years by one, two or three artists as part of the Nova sector. Te Positions sector will focus on curated booths presenting a single artist, representing 16 artists in total. Taking a cue from the long running success of a dedicated sector for prints and limited-edition works at Art Basel’s show in Basel, an Edition sector is debuting in Miami with 13 exhibitors,
including first-time Miami participants Alan Cristea Gallery (London), Crown Point Press (San Francisco), gdm (Paris), Pace Prints (NYC), Paul Stolper Gallery (London) and Singapore Tyler Print Institute (Singapore). Nicholas Baume, director and chief curator of Public Art Fund, has been tapped to serve as curator of Art Basel’s Public sector, which will transform Collins Park into an outdoor exhibition space with large-scale sculpture, video, installations and live performances. “Te growing importance of Art Basel’s Public program refects both the strong desire of artists to work in ways that initiate a direct encounter with the public and the investment that many galleries now make to help artists realize their most ambitious ideas. The result is an opportunity for everyone in Miami to engage with great contemporary art in a highly accessible public setting,” said Baume. Seizing on the infux of collectors and curious visitors, south Florida’s top museums and private collections time their strongest exhibitions to beef up their visitor’s rolls. Miami’s leading private collections – among them the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation (CIFO), the de la Cruz Collection Contemporary Art Space, Te Margulies Collection at the Warehouse, the Rubell Family Collection and World Class Boxing – will be opening their exhibition spaces to guests of the international art show. The Pérez Art Museum Miami will open its new Herzog & de Meuron designed building in December with exhibitions including 'Ai Weiwei: According to What?' and commissioned projects by Yael Bartana, Bouchra Khalili, Hew Locke and Monika Sosnowska. On display at the Bass Museum of Art will be 'Piotr Uklański: esl', while the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami will present 'Tracey Emin: Angel without You.' 'Phyllida Barlow: HOARD' will be on view at the Norton Museum of Art, and the Wolfsonian-FIU will show 'Te Birth of Rome' and 'Rendering War: Te Murals of A. G. Santagata.'

Over Achievers Top lots fom recent auctions that far exceeded expectations
Te top lot at Freeman's September Saford Collection auction in Philadelphia was a handpainted Russian urn produced by Nicholas I’s Imperial Porcelain Factory in St. Petersburg. Estimated at $150,000-200,000, the rarity of urns this size (32 1/2"H, 24" D) undoubtedly factored into the winning bid of $494,000.
At Freeman’s Photographs & Photobooks auction on September 10, an editioned portfolio of “Te Last Sitting” by photographer Bert Stern set an auction record by selling for $41,250—more than four times the estimate. Te portfolio of ten photographs received quite a bit of media attention over the summer due Stern’s death in June 2013 and because of the photographs’ subject matter. “What’s interesting about the photos is that they were taken before any of the Vogue makeup artists or editors arrived on the set. It was just Bert and Marilyn. While it’s fairly common to see one of these photos sell at auction, a complete portfolio of ten portraits is more rare,” said Photographs & Photobooks Department Head Aimee Pfieger.

Te Joseph DuMouchelle Fine Jewelry Auction held in the spring astounded bidders with a fnal bid totaling $348,000 for an antique Tifany & Co. lady’s pendant with a pre-auction estimate of $125,000 - $175,000. Te platinum and gold heart-shaped pendant, circa1895, featured a central 15.06 ct old mine cut diamond, graded by the GIA as a natural fancy yellow color, clarity VS1. Bidding for the diamond opened at $150,000 and quickly escalated.
A $4 Stella gold coin fetched $2,574,000 (more than doubling the presale estimate) during Bonhams Tacasyl Collection of Magnifcent United States Proof Gold Coins sold on September 23 in their Los Angeles salesroom. Te 1880 Coiled Hair Stella joins the ranks as one of the 10 most expensive US coins ever sold at auction.

A More Modest Mansion Forrest and Charlotte Lucas are down-to-earth folks, and their big home now refects that Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung
70 slmag.net
slmag.net

Charlotte and Forrest Lucas got a great deal on the house, which sat empty for several years, and the rest of the estate. Tey bought it all for the stunningly low price of $3 million (it once was valued near $30 million). Tat probably made it easier to deal with the big list of tasks required to get everything back in shape.
As we approach this estate on an unusually balmy evening, meandering along the serpentine driveway, admiring the impeccably landscaped grounds, it’s hard not to imagine a crescendo of Bernard Herrmann music, credits scrolling up the vivid movie screen of the mind’s eye. My first glimpse of the mansion evokes images from “Citizen Kane.” Appropriately so, for this is a place with a history: Indiana’s very own Xanadu. Happily for all, the walls that could doubtless speak volumes are silent. Along with the rest of the house, they have been refreshed and restored by the current residents, Forrest and Charlotte Lucas. Like the previous occupants, their fortunes are self-made, but that’s where the similarities end. Te owner of a successful trucking company, Forrest Lucas began formulating engine lubricants after his frm’s big rigs encountered maintenance problems in the extreme environments of the Western deserts. What began as a project to extend the life of his own feet took on a life of its own, quickly growing into a viable venture as other truckers discovered the engine-saving qualities of his innovative Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer. Seeing an opportunity, Forrest and Charlotte hit the road to market their stabilizer in truck stops around the West, rapidly gaining a loyal following for their breakthrough product. By 1987 they were able to leave 72 slmag.net
the trucking business. New products followed, and in 2003 the couple opened a second Lucas Oil Products manufacturing plant, this one in Indiana’s frst capital city of Corydon, where Forrest attended school many years before. Not content with merely manufacturing the finest oil products, Forrest and Charlotte wanted a suitable marketing vehicle to promote their products to a wider audience. Motor racing emerged as the obvious choice, combining glamour with gearheads, so in 1989 they advertised on a sprint car driven by Ricky Logan. That started what would become one of the nation’s largest sporting sponsorship enterprises. Sprint cars led to dragsters, dragsters to power boats, and so the empire grew. At this point, many entrepreneurs, content with their accomplishments, would have sat back and enjoyed the rewards. But not Forrest, who, Charlotte gleefully reveals, “doesn’t know how to do the three Rs – relax, recreate or retire.” Taking a few minutes out of a typically hectic day to chat in the luxuriously paneled library before fying to Corydon, Charlotte and Forrest describe the next phase: marketing the motorsports through their recently acquired cable channel MAVTV, a move that will add tens of millions of viewers to those who already watch their in-house sports productions on global networks.

Clockwise, from top left: Inside the sports barn is a full-size replica of Indiana University’s Assembly Hall basketball court. Anyone who loves hoops would enjoy it. Even Purdue fans. Tis aerial view of the estate (taken from the Lucases’ helicopter) gives an idea of the property’s expanse. Te main house encloses about 25,000 square feet of space, which the Lucases have worked hard to make welcoming.
It’s clear from our brief conversation that excellence is only a starting point for Forrest Lucas. When he and Charlotte acquired this 36-room, 33-acre Carmel estate in 2010, the residence had been empty for several years, and there was work to be done. Forrest was busy putting his stamp on Lucas Oil Plaza, part of the Indianapolis Colts’ home, Lucas Oil Stadium. Te plaza displays some of his loves, including multiple racing cars, a speedboat, tractors – and an airplane. In spite of that commitment, he still found time to oversee restoration of the home’s exterior. Te inside, with its millions of dollars’ worth of hardwoods, had benefted from climate control and was in excellent condition, requiring mostly cosmetic work to bring it back to gleaming perfection. Generally understated, the décor reflects the owners’ modest tastes. Colors are muted, and furnishings are designed for comfort, not to impress. It is impossible, however, to ignore the faux-Tiepolo fresco in the main hallway rotunda with its mythological depictions, a reminder of the dwelling’s colorful past. Forrest Lucas
acknowledges that the house is in part a museum piece, “eye candy, way more than anyone needs,” which is why he decided to let the frescos survive. There was substantial interest in the fate of this celebrated mansion, which was auctioned of and its furnishings sold to repay debts to the then-Conseco insurance company. Journalists from as far away as the East Coast attended the news conference when Forrest announced that he and Charlotte now owned the place. Although the two spend a good deal of time here, the estate has become a highly desirable venue for charitable functions and corporate retreats. In spite of its astonishing size, the original structure offers no suitably proportioned space for a large gathering. Tere is now a separate pavilion and catering kitchen for big events, as well as parking for 160 cars and a turnaround for buses and trucks. Tere’s even a full-size replica of Indiana University’s Assembly Hall basketball court. This once most introspective and private of homes now has a public face – one that we will probably see a lot more of in the future. sl slmag.net

Well-sourced ingredients and evolving, unexpected favors create delightful unions at Cerulean Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung
slmag.net

Ask a dozen chefs to defne modern American cuisine, and you’ll probably get a dozen diferent answers. From the seasonally inspired, super-fresh simplicity of Alice Waters to the post-modern creations of Grant Achatz, by way of the iconoclastic yet classical Tomas Keller, contemporary American gastronomy touches every point in the culinary sphere. If there’s a single feature that unifes all the great contemporary exponents, however, it’s an unstinting dedication to origin and quality of materials. Tese days it’s no longer enough to be a good cook: chefs have to source the right ingredients if they are to be taken seriously and only then, if they possess the appropriate level of talent, can they dazzle diners with their culinary aplomb. Caleb France, chef and co-owner of Downtown’s year-old Cerulean, knows more than most about ingredients and a lot about cooking. Whenever possible, he trains his chefs from the ground up, teaching them everything they need to know to re-create his own unique style. Somewhat at odds with many jazzinfuenced, improvisational establishments where the arrival of new ingredients inspires daily specials, prepared on the fly, France spends weeks or months perfecting dishes, continually refning them to the point where the depth and complexity of favors are always intriguing and frequently stunning.

Situated in the new CityWay development, Cerulean is the latest venture from France and his wife, Courtney France, their first being a successful establishment in Winona Lake in northern Indiana. Courtney France’s domain is the front of the house, where, atmospherically, it is restrained and clean. Some might say it borders on the austere, but the net efect is that your focus seldom wavers from your dining companions or the food on the table. Contrasting the restaurant’s elegant lines is a scrap wood hut near the front door, an unusual yet striking structure that provides shelter and privacy from the main dining room. Cerulean is open for lunch and dinner. The two offer quite different experiences, each relying heavily on locally sourced ingredients from by now familiar family farms and less familiar items by way of an on-staff gleaner. Preparations often emphasize sweet-savory contrasts with spice or herb highlights. It’s a winning approach, especially when you’re dealing with heftier winter dishes that include pork, duck, carrots, squash and Brussels sprouts. I’m a big fan of the lunch menu. Lunch is, after all, the best meal of the day when done properly, and few do it better in this town than Cerulean. Heavy on protein and vegetation with no butter or cream and little fat, lunches are designed to leave the customer satisfed but not full or tired.

Main courses are served in Japanese-style bento boxes, which might at frst glance seem a bit fussy or pretentious, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reliable way to keep ingredients from running into one another, especially when the elements are so seemingly dissonant. Te bento boxes came about by chance, explains Caleb France. He had ordered several dozen for a catering job at his Winona Lake restaurant, and, taking a liking to their form and function, set about incorporating them into the lunch service. Eschewing the tedium of more conventional menus, Cerulean ofers diners the opportunity to create their own bento boxes by choosing up to three sides with each main dish. Te possibilities arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite limitless, but they might as well be, especially if there are two or more partaking. Tis is perfect food for sharing: adventurous or risk-averse, guests are certain to fnd any number of favor combinations to suit their taste. As for the quality of the food, I believe I have tried almost everything on the menu and can attest to the imagination, precision and clear love of the subject. Tere is no faulting the outstanding provenance of the ingredients, the inspired combinations of favors and textures, or the thought that has gone into producing so many disparate yet harmonious elements. Te standard of cooking is topnotch and, best of all, consistently so. Desserts are among the best in town and are prepared in-house. You have to try the vanilla bean macaron, if nothing else. 92 slmag.net

Typically fne is the duck breast, the fat perfectly rendered, skin nicely crisp, the fesh an immaculate medium rare and well-rested, served atop richly fruity and subtly spiced pear jelly. A simple exercise in the classic marriage of sweet and savory, perhaps, but it’s still uncommon these days to fnd duck so expertly prepared. Similar principles apply to the brilliant, heavily caramelized Brussels sprouts served with maple syrup and bacon: the defnitive winter vegetable dish if there ever was one. And who would have thought of carrot and ginger soup as a side dish? Tis one is a must try, uncannily capturing the earthy, rooty fragrance of a carrot freshly pulled. If you’ve ever dug carrots, you’ll know what I mean. The wine list is concise and thoughtfully assembled. The nearly 100 offerings are arranged in loose comparative groups of Old and New World, lighter to fuller-bodied. You could, for instance, compare a Viognier from the Northern Rhône with a similar bottling from California. Tere are suggested pairings for desserts but none for entrees. And therein lies much of Cerulean’s confdent yet modest charm. Tere is no right or wrong; it’s all down to personal taste. Sample, taste, mix and enjoy whatever you prefer to drink with whatever you choose to eat. Tere’s no magic or mystery, just great favors, textures and sensations. Tat, I believe, is a recipe for success, not to mention a uniquely satisfying gastronomic experience. sl Cerulean is at 339 South Delaware Street. It’s open Monday through Saturday. Lunch 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; bar 5 to 10 p.m.; dinner 5:30 to 10 p.m. Reservations suggested. For more information, visit ceruleanrestaurant.com/ indianapolis or call 317. 870.1320.
