From the Editor-In-Chief On the go, nonstop, never looking left or right but just straight ahead. Tat was the old me: a tightly wound Realtor who jokingly competed with a mentor about who stayed at the ofce longer. Te calendar was always booked to capacity. Tere was no time to slow down – yet life was passing me by. Ten I woke up. My light bulb moment came one afternoon driving on Meridian Street. I looked up through my sunroof and saw the beautiful blue sky, pufy white-cotton clouds and tall, dark green sheltering trees. It was a gorgeous, life-changing realization. Te beauty had been there every single day, but I’d missed it. I was so moved I called a pal who spends a lot of free time outside. “John, have you ever looked up while you’re walking or biking?” His drawn-out, are-you-kidding-me reply: “Uh, yes.” Since that day, I “just look up” every day to make sure I enjoy the beauty and gifts of life. Not long after that that defining event, I was hanging out with a buddy who teaches meditation. Chris undoubtedly saw my life more clearly than I did and asked if I’d ever tried the ancient form of quiet contemplation. “Meditation?” I skeptically thought. It was unknown to me at frst, just like a short, big-eared movie character. “Like Yoda from Star Wars?” Well, I thought I’d thought that; turns out I actually blurted out loud about the series’ beloved character with strange syntax. Ooops. Fortunately, my friend laughed. He then told me to stop talking and close my eyes. For fve minutes, I listened to the world around me, and my life changed again. Over the next several months, I embraced meditation. Sitting in silence became my mental gym and helped me cope with the internalized stress of my job back then. I eventually spent nearly an hour a day in quiet thinking because it also gave me a more optimistic outlook and less muscle tension. As an aging dad of two, I now appreciate the benefts of happier muscles even more. “Just look up” has stayed with me, too, because my newfound enjoyment of life has been profound. In many ways, the phrase has become my guiding principle. All of this gets me a more fulflling version of my world. I no longer feel the need to work 12 to 15 hours a day. If I fnish at the magazine early, I come home. It’s great when it’s 1 in the afternoon and the kids are on a break. When they’re in school, I love swinging by to pick them up (though I have to call dibs before Jen does). Instead of regularly taking business meetings, I regularly take lunch – at school, with my children. As a family, we ride our bikes and walk on the Monon. We go to the park, play tetherball and hide-and-seek, and buy cheap bread to feed to the Broad Ripple ducks. Te kids and I also share a weekly ritual when we stop and smell the roses – literally. We go to Te Fresh Market and buy Jen a dozen roses – usually multicolored, because, well, that’s what kids pick. Jen knows the fowers are coming, but each week Gracie or Izzy gets to walk in and up the stairs, fowers behind the back, and “surprise” Mommy. It makes all of us smile. And it’s an experience the former oh-so-busy me never would’ve gotten with his family. I think a little bit of me has even rubbed of on the kids. I was elated when, as I was driving with them down Central Avenue, Izzy looked up and said excitedly, “Look Daddy, a tunnel of trees!” I hope that each of you does something soothing every day to help you cope with these frenetic times. And may you “just look up” and enjoy the moment you’re in. You just might fnd out what you’ve been missing.
Jefrey Cohen, Editor-in-Chief If you have a question for me, send an email to jef@slmag.net. I’ll get back to you (but not too quickly).

Obscure White Grapes to Try When choosing a wine, it is easy to pick from the tried and true. On average, most of the wines we try are the grapes we know, the so-called international grapes: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, and the list goes on. Tese are grapes that originally hail from France, or at least have been popularized by that country through California and planted throughout North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Tese grapes have even pervaded countries like Italy and Spain, who have treasure troves of their own indigenous grapes. While these are some of the best grapes to make wine with, there are more, many more. A recently published book lists more than 1,300 vine varieties that make wine in the world; Italy alone is a hot bed of indigenous varieties with over 500. Tere has been a movement in the last few decades to preserve and even seek out indigenous grapes and make delicious and unique wines from them. It is a very good thing to produce wines with such character, as diversity in wine is one of its many strengths. At least for me, if I had to drink wine produced from only international grapes, it would become monotonous. You can travel far when exploring the world of obscure and unique grapes. For example, when I was in Lombardy, Italy, we visited a Franciacorta winery named Majolini. Majolini produces 350 magnums (the equivalent of 700 bottles) of wine from a grape only they have planted called Majolina. While this wine was certainly very interesting, I wanted to be sure that the obscure grapes I wrote about our readers could fnd. Terefore, while they are still obscure, you should be able to find the following wines at better wine shops or on a thoughtful wine list, many of which are quite afordable. Te Coda Di Volpe grape is from Italy’s Campania region. Te grape Coda Di Volpe dates from at least Roman times. Te name given by Pliny means “tail of the fox” and refers to the shape of the grape clusters. One could write an article just on the indigenous grapes of the Southern Italian region of Campania, which in my mind make some of the fnest white wines in all of Italy. Te leader in the region is the Mastroberardino family, who is famous for preserving the native grapes of Campania, and diferent branches of the family own the Terredora Di Paolo and Mastroberardino wineries. Tis wine is dry and crisp with favors of citrus, quince, and white fowers; it is medium-bodied, fresh and enchanting. Suggested wine and producer: Coda Di Volpe Terredora Di Paolo, Campania 2012.
Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier
Te Colombard grape is from France’s Gascony region. It is certainly possible you have tasted Colombard without knowing it, as it is used in making the French brandies Armagnac and Cognac, as well as bulk ordinary wine in California’s typically named French Colombard. Native to Southwest France and the land of D'Artignan, this grape makes quality value wine. Tis example is dry with the favors of apple, peach, pear, and citrus; all in a light body that is vibrant, crisp and fresh. The name of this producer is Mont Gravet – Mont refers to the hills and Gravet refers to the oval shape rocks of the area, which is depicted on the label. Suggested wine and producer: Colombard, Cotes de Gascogne Mont Gravet 2013. Te Viura Grape is from Spain’s Rioja region. From the Rioja region of Spain, which is widely known for great red wine, comes this white wine. Incidentally, many wine drinkers don’t realize the region makes white wine and rosé alongside its famous red wines. Tis wine region is located in Northeastern Spain and named after the River Rio Oja. Outside of the region of Rioja, the grape is called Macabéo, especially in Catalonia, where it is part of the blend for the sparkling wines of Cava. Te winery has a long history dating to 1879 and is still run by the same family fve generations later. Dry, medium-bodied and tasty with the favors of green apple, melon, lemon, and zesty minerality. Suggested wine and producer: Viura, Rioja Blanco Cune “Monopole” 2013 . Te Verdicchio grape is from Italy’s Marche’s region. The Verdicchio grape is named for its green-colored berries, or in Italian, verdi. It is noted as one of the few Italian grapes that can stand up to oak but ironically rarely is. Hailing from the region of Marche, which is located in east-central Italy on the Adriatic. Basically it comes from two areas within Marche: Matelica or Castelli Di Jesi. Matelica is known for a touch more body. Very dry, light and crisp with the favors of limestone minerals, straw, lemon zest, white peach and apple. Its color is pale yellow. Trough the early 1990’s Beatrice Lucangeli and Stefano Aymerich di Laconi transformed their estate, improving the quality of their vineyards and wine production. Suggested wine and producer: Verdicchio Dei Castelli Di Jesi Classico “Villa Torre” Tenuta di Tavignano 2013. sl

Curating a Lifestyle: Make Room for Mocha
Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers
Tis group of mochaware includes forms, designs and colors commonly used in production. Te pitchers and bowls shown here range in auction value from $300 - $900 each, with larger items commanding a higher price point.
With motifs known as “earthworm” and “seaweed” and an earthy color palette of brown, yellow, blue, green and buff, antique mochaware seems more a product for the organically focused 21st century than the 18th and 19th century ceramics market from which it was born. In its creation, English pottery makers of the period (looking for fresh ideas and simpler manufacturing methods) bucked design trends and found inspiration in nature. At the time, Tomas Chippendale’s book “Te Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker's Director” had a frm hold on the buying habits of an aristocratic audience eager to posit themselves as regal and sophisticated in the face of a stunning loss to a fedgling nation across the pond. Chippendale’s designs were luxurious, bold and elaborate. A minimalist approach to designing interiors that refected the natural world and humble technique was not embraced until several decades later, when William Morris and his peers led the Arts and Crafts movement. Simply said, mochaware (also known simply as “mocha”) producers were truly ahead of their time. Mochaware is a general term for utilitarian kitchenware, first made in Staffordshire, England in the late 18th century that gained popularity by about 1830. Ceramic bowls, pitchers, pepper pots (as shakers are known to our British friends) and other items were lathe-turned; dipped into a mixture of water, clay and pigment (known as “slip”); and hand-decorated, most notably with bands of color and designs resembling the mukha (mocha) stone for which it is named. Imported through Mukha (a port in Yemen), moss agate was known as “mocha stone” to English artisans who valued the rich color and interesting natural designs: random patterns of impurities resembling the eponymous creatures and plants for which mochaware motifs are named. “Earthworm” mocha includes a thick, squiggly line of color circumventing the waist of

a ceramics piece. “Seaweed” items are decorated with tendrils of color emanating from a single trunk, repeated either vertically or horizontally. “Cat’s eye” decoration is marked by circular forms incorporating marbled colors within. The beauty and timeless style of mocha belies the simplicity and economy with which it was made. Decorative patterns were achieved through a chemical reaction between dyes and slip, creating complex designs in a production process both efficient and quick. At the time it was made, mocha was an inexpensive alternative to more gentrified pottery and porcelain. As a result of its utilitarian nature, it is available today in short supply - and fnding pieces in pristine condition is quite rare. Identifying an antiques dealer who specializes in mochaware is wise, although better antiques auction houses often include examples among Americana oferings. Collectors should expect to pay top dollar for pieces with exceptional coloration or design and without damage or repair, so if you are drawn to the simple elegance and warm palette of mocha, buy with a forgiving eye to a little restoration. Smaller and common forms, especially bowls, are the most affordable options, while mugs and large pitchers can command thousands of dollars each. Exploring mocha designs is made simple through websites like Pinterest, where several boards are devoted to the topic. Tose prone to wanderlust may choose to see frsthand the magnifcent collections at the Shelburne or Winterthur Museums. As styles shift to refect a greater interest in antiques, as well as nature, now is the time to invest in the timeless appeal of antique mochaware. sl Amelia and Jef Jefers are the co-owners of Garth's Auctioneers & Appraisers, an international frm located outside Columbus, Ohio.
A wide variety of mochaware forms, colors and designs are represented on this 19th century shelf, with values ranging from $300 - $2,500 each. Colors favored among collectors are pumpkin, blue and green; particularly when used in combination with high contrast hues that highlight bold decoration.

Te Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation Written by Bridget Williams Calling to mind turn-of-the-century Craftsman and Adirondack styles of architecture with an exterior defned bystacked feldstone walls and chimneys, stained wood cedar shingle siding and painted wood trim and windows, the lodge serves as the centerpiece and social hub of the 35-acre resort. Rustic fair pervades the interiors, with slate foors, vaulted beam ceilings, soaring stone freplaces and panoramic windows with sweeping lake views. Tere are a total 251 guestrooms onsite, including 33 892-square feet club level rooms; one 2,392-square-foot Ritz-Carlton suite; six twoand three-bedroom golf cottages ranging in size from 1,800-2,400 square feet; and the 5,400-square-foot Presidential Suite, which is actually a lakefront house adjacent to the lodge with four master suites and its own heated outdoor pool. Situated in rural Central Georgia and within close proximity to a number of single stoplight towns whose sleepy Main Streets boast the standard sprinkling of antique shops and mom and pop-style diners, the sprawling golf resort and luxury home community that comprises Reynolds Plantation sits directly on the banks of Lake Oconee, a 40 slmag.net
reservoir created in 1979 with the completion of the Wallace Dam. Originally a beloved 10,000-acre hunting, fshing and timber plantation established by Mercer Reynolds, Sr. in the 1920s, the current ownership group has continued the Mercer familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to providing top-notch amenities in a painstakingly preserved rural environment.

While the entire resort is family and pet-friendly, the twobedroom cottages are particularly suited for traveling with children, with plenty of elbowroom for everyone and just a two-minute stroll from the lodge. In-room amenities across all categories are top-notch and beftting a Ritz-Carlton property that has been bestowed with the AAA Five Diamond Award consecutively the past six years. For an even more luxurious experience, Club Level rooms and suites offer continuous culinary oferings throughout the day in the elegantly appointed club lounge as well as access to a dedicated concierge. With 300-miles of shoreline and more fish per square acre than any lake in Georgia, including large mouth bass, bream, catfsh, crappie and striped bass hybrids, Lake Oconee is a fisherman’s paradise. Just steps from the resort’s infinity edge lakefront pool is a sandy beach and watersports program, complete with paddleboards, kayaks, wake-boarding, knee boarding, jet ski and pontoon rentals (if you rent one of the latter and are feeling spunky, be sure to ask for directions to the “jumping rock”). The resort has access to a pair of fullservice marinas ofering dry dock storage, marina stores with fshing and boating supplies and dockside fueling. During the summer months there are lakeside concerts and freworks; iceskating is ofered from late November through mid-February in a dedicated 5,500-square-foot rink. Popular with young and old alike are the nightly bonfres and s’mores by the lake, which take place just outside Georgia’s Bistro restaurant. 42 slmag.net
Drier pursuits for the active minded encompass horseback riding; a gun club with skeet, trap and clay shooting; five miles of onsite walking and hiking trails; Segway tours; a comprehensive exercise facility with indoor lap pool; and, access to eight tennis courts. The waters of Lake Oconee are certainly a draw, but what Reynolds Plantation is known for is golf, and lots of it. Interwoven amongst the towering oaks, fragrant magnolias and fowering dogwoods are 99 holes of championship-caliber golf designed by top architects of the game: Rees Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio and Bob Cupp. An increasingly rare enhancement, the resort’s fve golf courses ofer golf caddie services – providing hole descriptions and yardage, spotting golf balls, raking bunkers, attending the fagstick and ofering green reads. With a few rare exceptions, golf can be enjoyed at the resort year-round. The onsite Kingdom at Reynolds Plantation offers the ultimate in club fitting services, swing analysis and on-site construction of customized clubs provided by the very same Taylor Made-certified experts that service professional golfers. Instructor Charlie King of the Reynolds Golf Academy is consistently listed on Golf Digest’s ranking of the 50 best teachers. For those seeking to unwind before or after an active day or wanting refuge from an overactive existence, the 26,000-square foot spa, located in its own building adjacent to the lodge, offers more than 90 health and wellness treatments, many of them utilizing ingredients indigenous to the area, via 19 private

treatment rooms, one couples spa suite, four wet treatment rooms – including one hydrotherapy room. The facility also features male and female relaxation areas with lockers and changing facilities, an indoor lap pool, saunas, steam rooms, whirlpools, a relaxation terrace, a full-service salon and a spa boutique with an area specifically allocated to locally-made soaps and bath products. Playing hard works up quite an appetite, and there are several unique venues on property for dining and cocktails. As soon as I sat down at my lakeview table at Georgia’s Bistro, located on the ground floor of the lodge, I was tempted with an artisan breadbasket accompanied by lavender-infused honey, Vidalia onion spread and salted butter. Te menu is full of Southern fare, from fried green tomatoes to shrimp and grits, and a host of inventive moonshine cocktails. For the adventurous or the undecided, order the special “Chef ’s Surprise” entrée. You’ll only be given the price and the recommended temperature (when applicable). Situated poolside and lakefront and offering a “come as you are atmosphere”, signature cocktails and a wide range of casual cuisine to savor al fresco, Gaby's by the Lake is perennially packed during the warmer months. For a more intimate outdoor lakefront dining experience, Chiminea dining provides a threecourse meal for two in front of a personal bonfre. Open Wednesday through Sunday for lunch, dinner and cocktails, Linger Longer Steakhouse, located in the Oconee Golf Course Clubhouse, offers a contemporary menu of American
steakhouse classics complemented by an extensive wine list with a focus on reds from around the world. Perhaps it was the blueberryinfused cocktails that made me do it, but following a perfectly prepared peppercorn-encrusted steak, I ordered the bread pudding with white chocolate ice cream for dessert and had zero regrets. It was followed by an encore of puffy pink cotton candy and a directive from our server to “linger longer”. While there are certainly no shortage of activities and amenities on property to keep one amply busy, day trips to charming, historic small towns including Greensboro, Madison and Washington beckon with unique shopping and dining opportunities. A slice of buttermilk pie at Te Yesterday Café in Greensboro (theyesterdaycafe.com) is the stuf of local legend and not to be missed! Parents seeking to treasure hunt in peace can take advantage of the full- and half-day oferings available through the Ritz Kids children’s program, where their little ones will be kept busy with activities developed in partnership with Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Futures Society. Through December 30, 2014 the Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation is offering a Stay and Play Package, s t a r t i n g a t $ 2 9 9 p e r n i g h t a n d i n c l u d i n g ov e r n i g h t accommodations in a resort view room and one round of golf for one player at Te Plantation, Te Landing, Great Waters, Te National or Oconee ($50 upcharge for play on Oconee or Great Waters courses).

Maserati Centennial International Gathering Held in September, the Maserati Centennial International Gathering marked a key event in the celebrations to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Modena-based company. Te frst day of the ofcial program involved over 200 Maseratis and over 500 Maserati collectors and clients from 30 countries across the world. Vintage and modern Maseratis began making their way into Modena in the early hours, lining up in Piazza Grande in the shadow of the Ghirlandina, the white stone bell tower that is the symbol of the Emilian city. Piazza Grande was also the venue for the meeting between Maserati CEO Harald Wester and the Mayor of Modena, Gian Carlo Muzzarelli, who ofcially welcomed the participants to the city. Also on hand were direct descendants of the founders of Maserati: Carlo and Alferi Maserati, the sons of Ettore and Ernesto Maserati respectively, who in December 1914 set out on an adventure with their brother Alferi. "Of the many automobile producers born in Italy in the last century, only a few have reached such a milestone 44 slmag.net
and this flls me with joy," declared Alferi Maserati. "Te name we bear symbolizes brilliance, innovation and the desire to create the unique and novel features we fnd in today's cars." The first day of the Gathering ended with a guided tour and dinner at the company’s historic factory in Viale Ciro Menotti, Modena. After a lengthy parade through the city’s streets, involving more than 200 classic and modern Maseratis and the majority of Modena’s population, gathering participants enjoyed a guided tour of the complex that Maserati has occupied since it moved from Bologna to Modena in 1939, and where the Maserati GranTurismo, GranCabrio and Alfa Romeo 4C are now produced. These same production lines provided the striking location for a very unusual dinner during which guests were entertained by singers from the Luciano Pavarotti Foundation. Te bond between Maserati and Luciano Pavarotti was always very strong on both sides – the great Tenor’s frst Maserati was a bright blue Sebring,

which he purchased in 1963 – and it still continues today thanks to his widow Nicoletta Mantovani, who was present at the dinner. The second day of the Gathering commenced with the start of the regularity competition and transfer of more than 200 Maseratis taking part to the historic San Martino del Lago circuit near Cremona. Te circuit is just a short distance from the straight stretch of road on which Baconin Borzacchini set the first world record in Maserati’s history on September 28, 1929, at the wheel of the 16-cylinder Maserati V4, a record that stood for eight years. Te day ended with a gala dinner hosted by Maserati CEO Harald Wester at the Reggia di Venaria Reale, the royal palace on the outskirts of Turin built by Charles Emmanuel II, Duke of Savoy in 1675. Together with Maserati collectors, clients and guests, the dinner was also attended by Fiat Chrysler Group Chairman John Elkann and Fiat Chrysler Group CEO and Maserati Chairman Sergio Marchionne, who declared that, “Maserati will never be a
Piazza San Carlo
giant. It will never be the biggest producer of automobiles in the world but it will be, simply, the best”. Te third and fnal day of the Centennial Gathering was focused around Turin, with the fnal section of the regularity competition and the climb to the majestic Basilica of Superga, the historic 300-year-old church that towers over the city. Participants and press then toured Maserati’s newest factory, the Avv. Giovanni Agnelli plant in Grugliasco, where the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte are built. Tey then drove their cars to the heart of Turin to line the areas surrounding the Piazza San Carlo in the heart of the city for the Concours d’Elegance fnale. Piazza San Carlo was packed with thousands of owners, media, fans and employees when the ‘Best of Show’ was awarded to a Maserati Mexico 4200 Prototype Frua, with the Maserati A6 GCS/53 from the Panini collection also receiving a special award from the judges. A Spyder 90th Anniversary Camobiocorsa won the Regularity Race. sl slmag.net

A 1954 Jaguar D-Type owned by Peter Neumark was named Best in Show.
The annual Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elégance saw a host of exquisite vehicles competing for the coveted ‘Best in Show’ award. Chief Judge for the day was Derek Bell MBE and from one British legend to another it was a 1954 Jaguar D-Type owned by Peter Neumark that was awarded the top prize. Coincidentally, the D-Type celebrates its 60th birthday this year. A Delahaye Type 235 MS Coupé by Chapron garnered the People’s Choice award. Te inaugural Salon Privé Sale launched earlier this year in partnership with Silverstone Auctions was a thrilling sale with an excess of £10 million. Highlights included a world-record sum for the rare 1971 Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder which sold for £2.27 million, a 1963 Ferrari 250 GT/L Lusso which sold for £1.89 million including the buyer’s premium and an elegant 1954 Bentley R-Type Continental Fastback which fetched £954,500 including the buyer’s premium. Porsche 911 prices continue to rise with a 1973 Porsche 911 S Targa, part of the Henry Pearman collated ‘Stradale’ Collection, selling for £195,500, more than £80,000 over its lower estimate. A piece of motoring history, Range Rover chassis number 001, sold for a premium inclusive £132,250. Commenting on the results, Nick Whale, Managing Director of Silverstone Auctions, said: “We’re delighted with the results from our frst sale at Salon Privé. Some of the prices paid for particular cars are truly staggering and hope that both buyers and vendors alike are as happy as we are.” Te British Supercar Lawn impressed with highlights including the one-of Ferrari F12 TRS, a trio of LaFerraris, a Pagani Huayra, McLaren P, Bugatti Veyron, and the latest models from Lamborghini, Maserati, McLaren, Koenigsegg, Overfnch, BMW and Tesla, among many others.

Paradise Found
Island idyll is easily attainable on Jumby Bay in Antigua Written by Bridget Williams
50 slmag.net
At one time or another, most of us have pondered the notion of inhabiting a deserted island; most likely when prompted by an inquiring mind asking you to consider what three things youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d bring with you. While the concept holds a certain vaguely romantic appeal, the reality â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fnding food, clothing, shelter, water and the like â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is an endeavor best reserved for a handful of die-hard survivalists or those seeking their 15 minutes of fame on reality television. Te most ideal option, in my humble opinion, is to luxuriate on a fully stafed private island, which can ofer the illusion and sometimes the reality of complete privacy, without the need to fashion crude clothing from palm tree fronds or fgure out how to crack open a coconut.

One such piece of paradise is Jumby Bay: A Rosewood Resort, a 300-acre private enclave situated just two miles from the coast of Antigua in the West Indies. After landing at V.C. Bird International Airport, a simple three-minute car ride followed by a seven-minute cruise on a private catamaran carries you to a state of mind that is worlds away. While there are a total of 40 rooms that comprise the legendary all-inclusive Five-Diamond resort, the most ideal way to experience the vast array of amenities is to take things up a notch by letting a privately owned estate home. At the pinnacle of these exclusive oferings is Lazy Lizard, a $40 million property that was unveiled in October 2013. With more than 18,000 square feet, six bedrooms, six en-suite baths and one guest bath, this one-of-a-kind beachfront enclave offers a resort-within-aresort experience. Located near the resort’s Estate House, a circa 1830 classical colonial home and garden that was once the centerpiece of the island’s sugar plantation and is now home to Jumby Bay’s elegant fine dining restaurant, only the steeply pitched roofline of the buildings that comprise the fve-acre Lazy Lizard compound are visible from the road. As our golf cart made its way down the drive, the dense tropical landscaping belied the newness of its 52 slmag.net
installation. Members from our team of personal staff, which included a butler, private chef and housekeeper, greeted us at the entrance pavilion with warm, wide smiles. Overseen by renowned local architect Andrew Goodenough, the Caribbean- and Asian-influenced compound was designed with entertaining in mind with the eight pavilions that comprise the contemporary kitchen, living, dining, and media rooms and guest suites oriented around a freeform swimming pool so vast it could amply accommodate all of the island’s hotel guests. Te property also includes its own private beach, food-lit tennis court and ftness center. As fate would have it, I was lucky enough to room in one of a pair of identical 2,000-square-foot master suites that fank the central pavilion. Te sprawling space was made to feel even larger via intricate patterning of the cerused wood planks that adorned the steeply pitched ceiling. Te décor was primarily comprised of variegated shades of blue on the upholstery, walls and accessories. When considered with the limestone fooring, the combination mimicked the surrounding seascape visible everywhere I looked. Adjacent to the en-suite bath, sliding doors led outside to a walled open-air garden oasis whose pièce de résistance was a deep soaking tub carved from a single piece of ivory travertine.

Not wanting to leave any island experience on the table during my brief sojourn, I opted to save the al fresco bubble bath for après dinner and took the wheel of one of two golf carts reserved for Lazy Lizard guests and set out to explore the island. Te frst stop was the theatre kitchen at Te Verandah Restaurant, where Chef Jonathan was leading a scheduled cooking class. Trained in France at Michelin-starred restaurants, he imparted a wealth of information on global cuisine and preparation methods as well as his favorite of-island haunts (Devil’s Bridge near Indian Town Point and rainforest zip line tours were among his top recommendations). Serving breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, the casually elegant open-air Verandah Restaurant and Bar is the island’s hub of activity and the unofcial clubhouse of island home and villa owners. After laying claim to a cushioned chaise under a thatched umbrella, I headed to the watersports area to unleash my inner adolescent with a go at tubing, followed by paddle boarding and snorkeling in the tranquil azure waters of Jumby Bay. Te comprehensive watersports program includes the aforementioned activities as well as water skiing, kayaking, windsurfng, sailing
and weekly morning snorkeling trips to nearby Bird Island. My fortuitous state of afairs continued as I returned to the comfort of my chaise just as the beach attendants were making their daily afternoon rounds to ofer sun-baked guests a frozen confection. I returned to Lazy Lizard to find preparations underway for our private dinner to be staged in the pool’s dining pavilion, which is surrounded on all four sides by water and accessed by a Japanese footbridge. Guests of Lazy Lizard have access to the services of private chef Sarah Wong, who has spent the past few winter seasons in Antigua and summers in Italy working at the Michelin restaurant Andreini. As the fnal remnants of a fery sunset were gobbled up by the horizon, the staf lit torchères and candles along the path to the dining pavilion. We walked in time to the beat of a steel drum band, whose members had rolled up their pant legs in order to play instruments situated in the shallow waters of the pool’s sunbathing ledge. Te dinner was an epicurean extravaganza and a definite “must-do” for those renting an estate home. Te following morning I selected a bicycle from the stand near the entrance to the estate for a short ride to Sense, A

Te spa’s open-air sanctuary, fve treatment rooms and Duet Suite for couples treatments are surrounded by lush foliage that is in a state of perpetual and hypnotic movement courtesy of gentle ocean breezes. Signature treatments incorporate products with natural ingredients indigenous to the area such as sugar cane, molasses, spices and rum. Fe e l i n g s i m u l t a n e o u s l y re s t e d a n d i n v i g o r a t e d , I reconvened with my travelmates for lunch at the Pool Grille, aptly named for an oceanfront infnity-edge pool opposite the entrance to the dining room. Ofering lunch and dinner (the fish tacos and lobster and cantaloupe salad are top-notch), the Pool Grille also hosts a weekly “Caribbean Night”, a bountiful bufet-style dinner that highlights dishes indigenous to Antigua such as pepper pot stew, Fungee (cornmeal and okra dumplings), lobster, Roti (patties flled with curried potatoes and beef ), sweet potato dumplings, mahi-mahi, Johnny Cakes, conch and saltfsh. T h e o w n e r s a n d m a n a g e m e n t o f Ju m b y B a y a r e committed to being responsible stewards of their local
environment. One of the most exciting island-supported initiatives is the Hawksbill Turtle Program, which celebrated its 28th anniversary in 2014, making it the longest running scientific study of its kind. Each year, Hawksbills return to nest on the resort’s Pasture Bay Beach, a protected nesting area that has been drawing the now-endangered sea turtles since the age of the dinosaurs. Interested guests can sign up for “turtle watches” and they will be notifed by the staf is a successful nesting is predicted. Tis is the only time guests are permitted to be in close proximity to turtles in the nesting area. With so many activities available to occupy your time, it can be easy to forget that it is perfectly acceptable to do nothing, which is arguably the greatest luxury of all in an era of chronic overscheduling. Opportunities for moments (or even hours) of idyllic idleness are offered in abundance at Lazy Lizard, so much so that even my fellow Type A’s will fnd themselves slowly adjusting to (and even enjoying) “island time”. Rates for the Lazy Lizard estate house on Jumby Bay begin at $11,500/night. For more information visit rosewoodhotels.com/ en/jumby-bay-antigua. sl

A HOME OF HER OWN Designer creates a space where her family can grow Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung
After many years of designing dream homes for others, Courtney Casteel Schenberg, along with her husband, Brian, made the decision a couple of years ago to build their own home in Zionsville. Finally she would become the client – a prospect flled with endless possibilities and brand new challenges. “As a designer, you’re constantly trying to make your client’s dreams come true through the home you’re working on at the time,” she said. “In this instance, it all took on a new meaning; I had no boundaries.” Built in the style of a French Revival manor, the home abounds with Courtney’s trademark touches. Tere are oval forms, whether interlocking or stand-alone, scattered throughout. Strong masculine components are balanced by softer, more feminine 70 slmag.net
counterpoints and vice-versa. Light and airy rooms often feature a robust contrasting element. Te house is a wonderful exercise in harmony and balance, but getting there required the creator/ client to make some design modifcations. For instance, one of her favorite houses, with a fat-roof system, is in Santa Barbara, “but we don’t live in California,” she noted. “Brian trusted me completely: he came to very few design meetings, so it was like he was my client. I tried to make the den and the basement his. It was the same with the kids: we built this home for the growth of our family, so I was trying to think forward into my kids’ minds. It’s amazing what a personal space can do for a person, regardless of whether you’re 5 or 45.”
Above, Walker and his mom, designer Courtney Casteel Schenberg, are ready to wrap holiday gifts. Multitasking is easy in the well-organized laundry room, which also is a convenient mudroom. Left, the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design adds a contemporary twist to its inspiration, French architecture.
White cabinets, walls and ceiling make the already-roomy kitchen look even bigger. Te warmth of the contrasting hand-scraped hickory foors balances the whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool feel.

Te “family and friends” space is one large area containing the kitchen, dining and gathering rooms, plus the covered patio. Te kitchen has a classic yet current look. Refrigeration and freezer areas are tucked behind cabinet fronts on the left, and storage abounds.
As with many of the homes built today, all roads lead to the kitchen, the epicenter of modern family life. Open, with high ceilings and cirrus-fnished maple cabinetry, the feel is seamless, integrated and angular. Te focal point is a colossal island, one of Courtney’s signature elements, topped with a single piece of honed Calcutta marble. For many, marble is problematic, but not for her. “I’m not afraid of marble. It’s tested and timeless. If there’s a wine stain, then it becomes a memory of that occasion,” said the owner of Courtney Casteel Home (courtneycasteelhome. 72 slmag.net
com). All appliances are by Sub-Zero and Wolf: Te refrigerator vanishes behind frameless cabinetry, and the built-in cofee maker represents a new benchmark in convenience. Te six-burner range would be the envy of many a home chef. Just of the kitchen, the laundry room also serves as a giftwrapping station and mudroom. It’s a wonderful example of multiple uses of available space and, even though the house isn’t exactly compact, there is pleasure to be derived from the thought and design elements that make it all work.
Te Schenbergs wanted a fexible dining room that could transition from pizza and craft time with the kids to a formal dinner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and anything between.

In the gathering room, multiple materials and textures contribute to the freplace, an antique mercury glass custom wall mirroring and French linen drapes. Te diferent natural textures appeal to diferent people without adding much color.

Bullâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-eye is the centerpiece of the masculine basement. Te room also includes TV and bar areas, plus some of the sports memorabilia on display. Elsewhere in the basement is Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s framed football jersey, which he wore while playing for Anderson University, plus items heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had since childhood.
Te front high gloss black mahogany doors frame the foyer, where canary yellow grass cloth and large art of owls greet you. A few steps take you to this sitting area with a blown glass chandelier more than 5 feet in diameter. Te foorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s herringbone pattern reinforces the roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s octagonal shape.

Te baby grand is a childhood treasure from Courtneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family tucked into Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s den. Te room includes a number of sportsrelated books, family pictures and some fun touches, including this sign: National Bank of Dad. Slapped over it is a second sign: Closed.

77
Te master bedroom and bathroom ofer special elegance for everyday use. Diferent textures complement the oversized geometric monochromatic wallpaper with subtle beading (it glows at night). Te mod-inspired blush glass chandelier brings an element of surprise.
Te bathroom follows the bedroom’s look – classic yet current.
Soft pink dominates Avery’s room, with peaceful birds futtering on the walls and a delicate capiz shell pendant bringing light.
Te children’s library, just of the top of the second-foor stairs, includes books, toys, pictures and collectibles. Courtney says it’s the coolest spot in the house.
78 slmag.net
Te covered patio, or lanai, mirrors the length of the kitchen, dining and gathering rooms, extending the living area to the outside and ofering views onto the wooded back yard.
Troughout the public areas on the main level, the foor is fashioned from solid hickory. The surface is wire brushed for an extra-resilient fnish. For the den, a woodworker mitered the planks into a herringbone pattern: Te efect is bold and classic. Outside, on the expansive covered patio, the iron balustrade’s repeating oval pattern delivers contrast with the exterior’s otherwise austere angles. “I’m a very square, structured person,” Courtney explains. “Te ovals provide some softness.” Rounded gutters produce a similar efect. Brian’s den, with its assertive, masculine feel, was built largely around a baby grand piano that Courtney’s parents gave the couple for their wedding. Te clipped wall that accommodates the curve of the instrument led to the octagonal shape of the adjacent foyer. Here the home’s large double door entry, another of her trademarks, is fashioned from solid mahogany and fnished in high gloss black, with solid brass knockers with chrome fnish. It makes a statement. Finishing the tour of the main foor, the master suite is all about light, height and clean, crisp lines, with subtly patterned wallpaper providing texture and the faintest impression of dappled sunlight. Te bathroom is bright and gleaming with plenty of marble and refective highlights. Of all the rooms on
the main level, this is probably the one that tends most overtly toward the feminine. Upstairs is strictly for kids, presenting as splendid a retreat as any child could hope for. Bedrooms are en suite, meaning there will never be competition for bathroom space, and the large play area/studio gives the young ones plenty of room to express their creativity or simply work of steam. A library at the top of the stairs addresses their literary requirements. Te high ceilings and abundant natural light in the basement let adults relax at the pool table or bar, where they are constantly guarded by the head of an impressively horned bull. It is Brian’s main design input, and Courtney nicknamed it Bull’s-eye. “He’s the show-stopper for the basement.” Next door, a guest room, designed essentially like a hotel suite, provides rest for weary visitors. With its bucolic situation on an expansive and secluded wooded lot in one of the quieter corners of the city, it is hard to imagine a more ideal setting for this gifted designer to have fnally realized the dream home for herself and her family. A tour of the Schenbergs’ home Sept. 25 kicked off a planned annual boutique-style home tour. To see photographs, go to Page 130. sl

A FOODIE GOES PRO Te Cake Bake Shop brings European elegance to delectable cakes and other tasty treats Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung
As a runner-up in this year’s Valrhona “Show Us Your Chocolate” contest, Gwendolyn Rogers proved to the world that she knows about chocolate. Happily for those of us who live in the Indianapolis area, she also knows a lot about baking, a passion that over many years has been a source of considerable pleasure to friends and family and now, with the opening of Te Cake Bake Shop in Broad Ripple, has become a full-time occupation. If the chef ’s natural modesty tends to understate the signifcance of her achievement in the Valrhona contest (which featured more than 3,000 entrants from around the world), there is no disguising her enthusiasm and joy when it comes to food and, especially, baking. A native of New Orleans, where cuisine is it, food runs in her blood. “When my Mom would cook, I would sit at the edge of the stove, taking everything in. For me life is all about food: the tastes and smells. When I travel, I might not be able to remember what I did, but I can certainly remember what I ate.”

Her love of baking and customers was evident the day the shop was closed for this story’s photo shoot. A woman timidly approached, asking to order a cake for later that week. After an instant check with her baker, Gwendolyn said yes, her indomitable right-hand woman, Janet Main, gathered the information – and a new customer left very happy. Moving to Indianapolis fve years ago to be closer to her husband’s family (their three boys are the clan’s fourth generation at Park Tudor), Gwendolyn realized she had to make all new friends, a task rendered considerably easier by her kitchen skills. “I would make food for Teacher Appreciation Day. I would make pasta salads, desserts.” Her talents didn’t go unnoticed: it was around this time that people, not least of all her family, began suggesting she might pursue cooking as a profession. “Even my kids told me I should open a restaurant,” she enthuses. “Now that I’m doing this … we’re very excited. It’s a whole new chapter.” Suitably inspired, and with indispensible assistance and advice from local businessman Charles Mong, Gwendolyn began to look for a location, exploring strip malls and retail spaces before happening upon the ideal spot, a house-turned architect’s ofce on Carrollton Avenue. Even before work had begun on the shop, its client list included Elton John (thanks to Gwendolyn’s chocolate cake entry in a London contest) and the cast and crew of the new movie “Dumb and Dumber To” (she baked cupcakes for the directors, getting the job of providing cupcakes that are a prop throughout the flm).

High quality is vital to Gwendolyn’s European-inspired cake emporium, where her success in sourcing topnotch ingredients is on delicious display. Flour is a non-bromated kind from Vermont, and her bakery is the only one in the state to use it. Butter is from Europe, the baking powder is made without aluminum, and eggs are free-range from a local organic farm. Vanilla and favorings are quite upscale. With her New Orleans roots and accompanying love of things French, there is a strong connection with the old country. French chocolate, the best in the world, is represented by Valrhona: taste the award-winning chocolate ganache cakelette, and you will realize there is no substitute for the real thing. Te cake is served on Pillivuyt porcelain, custom made, as are all of the tea and cofeepots, cups and bowls; each piece is hand-stamped with the restaurant’s emblem before fring. For the young ones, there are plush toys and candies from France. As for the cakes themselves, the chocolate is a must-taste and mustbuy. With malted cream at the center and chocolate ganache, to use the baker’s words, “it brings out a certain emotion; it warms the soul.” A signature production is the doberge cake (pronounced dough-bash’),
92 slmag.net
inspired by a multilayered Austro-Hungarian recipe and elaborated on by a New Orleans baker in the 1930s. Consisting of eight layers of white sponge cake separated by a Valrhona French chocolate pudding and chocolate cream, the whole edifce wrapped in chocolate ganache, it is a masterpiece of chocolaty indulgence. At one of many cake tastings for this feature, our Editor-in-Chief Jef Cohen, a proud native of the Crescent City, declared it “possibly the fnest cake that not only I, but anyone else, is ever likely to taste.” A lemon version is also on ofer, as well as a panoply of favors and styles, including favorites such as red velvet and Lady Baltimore. In addition to cakes there are puddings, pies and mufns. For the holidays there is a traditional Bûche de Noël decorated with chocolate mushrooms imported from France. Plans include quiche for lunch and New Orleansstyle beignets on weekends. Situated just a stone’s throw from some of the city’s most prestigious private schools, Te Cake Bake Shop makes a wonderful after-school destination (there’s lush hot chocolate), and it’s one of the few places around to teach the younger generation about the civilizing efects of a proper afternoon tea.

WINGS, FROM WARHOL TO WARREN
On Oct. 3, 100 guests gathered as Long-Sharp Gallery opened “Wings, from Warhol to Warren.” This exhibit includes early Andy Warhol drawings and Wayne Warren’s wings, among other works, and explores inspirations for each artist’s depiction of wings. For Warhol, raised devoutly Catholic, wings may have paid homage to his religious beliefs. For Warren, wings represent what frees us from the human condition – our desires, aspirations and dreams.
