From the Editor-in-Chief We’ve all forgotten stuf. You can’t fnd your keys. Dogs sometimes hunt for their bones. And kids? Well, kids are a diferent species. Especially our son, Izzy. He has an amazing fair for forgetting. Here’s what happened one morning when I drove the kids to school. Gracie and I got out frst. Izzy opened his door, swung his little legs out and said, “Uh … Dad?” He looked down. “I forgot my shoes.” Mifed, but unable to stife my laughter, I said, “Yeah, I see that.” All three of us laughed then walked – one of us shoeless – into school. Izzy asked if I was going to let him go all day without shoes. “Sure. Let that be a lesson to wear shoes to school.” I guess I sounded serious, because he thought I meant it, but I was joking. I walked him to class and returned shortly after with some tenn tennis shoes. It’s amazing how many mornings my son gets in my car shoeless and backpackless. If I could count the number of times that’s happened, I could’ve been a math major. He’s our fy-by-the seat-of-his-pants kid. nu His sister, Gracie, is our little organizer. Izzy’s like Jen; Gracie’s her daddy’s little girl. H Gracie plays tennis at school. I’m thrilled she’s enjoying it, and Jen and I have watched every match, sometimes nervously, as she’s improved to the point where she, a ffth grader, is playing seventh and eighth graders. so Te Orchard School boys and girls played their eight-week fall season at their “home,” Te Riviera Club, as T Orchard lacks courts, and away games at several Northside schools and clubs. O After leaving an evening match at Eastwood Middle School, Gracie realized she’d left her backpack at the courts. You can imagine the angst our neatnik little girl endured. th I called Eastwood the next morning and left a voicemail about the missing gray-and-green backpack. Ten I drove the kids to school and walked them in. On my way out, the receptionist told me that Eastwood T tennis coach Chris Sprinkle had called, said he found a backpack and was driving it over to school. Te gesture te touched me deeply, and while I didn’t get to thank him personally that day, I left a handwritten note at his to school, and Gracie and I will meet him very soon. sc What he d did got me thinking how a random act of kindness can have a big efect on the world around us. His small, simple gesture was very endearing. Coach Chris chose to do it because he understood he’d help someone – someone he didn’t know. I’m sure we’ve all witnessed a “pay it forward” moment, like someone in the car ahead of us at the Starbucks drive-thru paying for our cofee. Tat’s very nice, and I’ve done it, too. Over the years, though, I’ve often questioned how much that helps someone who truly could use a lift. At Starbucks, everyone’s in line to buy cofee that costs four bucks. Wouldn’t it be better to tip the worker who hands me my cofee? Better yet, how about telling the beleaguered McDonald’s drive-thru worker to keep the change from your kid’s Happy Meal when you pay with a ten? Or a twenty. Have you ever had a restaurant server apologize for something taking longer than expected? Instead of responding with a growl, why don’t we reply with a few kind words? It could be as simple as, “If that’s the worst thing that happens to me, it’s going to be a good day!” Never forget: A smile and words of encouragement can help change someone’s day. And if their day changes for the better, the days of the people they see – including co-workers, friends and, most importantly, family – likely will as well. Tis is the season of giving. While our diferent contributions can be volunteering our time, making a donation or giving gifts, a kind word or deed may be the greatest present.
Jefrey Cohen, Editor-in-Chief If you’ve experienced the power of a random act of kindness and would like to share your story, I’d love to read it. Please email me at jef@slmag.net. 30 slmag.net

THE SIXTH 7 IS A 10 Te new BMW 7 series Written by Andre James The flagship of the BMW marquee, the sixth generation of the 7 series, boasts an improved ride and handling while maintaining the luxury accoutrements associated with the sedan, frst introduced in 1977 as the world’s frst car to come ftted with an electronic speedometer. “Te primary objective in the development of the new car was to create a vision of modern luxury and to exceed our customers’ expectations. In BMW’s eyes, modern luxury is rooted in the most advanced technologies and extremely fine attention to detail. This generation of the BMW 7 Series is the most luxurious, most comfortable and – all round – the best car we have ever built in this class,” said Adrian van Hooydonk, senior vice president of the BMW Group Design.
Comprising the sedan’s skeleton is what BMW refers to as a “Carbon Core,” a composite construction of carbon-fber-reinforced plastic, ultrahigh-tensile steels and aluminum that is part of the BMW EfficientLightweight concept. As a result, the vehicle’s center of gravity is now even lower, and the load is distributed 50:50. Appearing modern and elegant, the prevalence of outwardcurving surfaces on the exterior enhances aerodynamic performance. Te car shows a long bonnet, short front overhang, long wheelbase and set-back passenger compartment. Te new 7 series is BMW’s frst car to feature visible air fap control, which is only open when there is a need for increased cooling. Headlight units, which extend as far up as the grill, are available with optional BMW Laserlight, easily identifed by a blue-colored horizontal bar in the center.

Two non-metallic and nine metallic paint colors are available for the exterior, with two additional variants made available exclusively to those who opt for the M Sport package. Te new BMW 7 Series comes as standard with 17- or 18-inch light-alloy wheels. A selection of other light-alloy wheels up to 21-inches are available as an option. Spearheading the available engine lineup is a redeveloped 4.4-liter V8 engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology that has resulted in a major improvement in engine efficiency. The new 445-horsepower V8 is mated with the latest version of the intelligent all-wheel-drive system in the BMW 750i xDrive sedan. Te fully variable, electronically controlled power split between front and rear wheels enhances traction and stability as well as the handling dynamics in corners. Acceleration from 0-62 mph takes just 4.5 seconds. Te BMW 740i is equipped with a 3.0-liter sixcylinder 320-horsepower in-line engine with BMW TwinPower 34 slmag.net
Turbo technology. With a top speed of 155 mph, the 740i needs just 5.6 seconds to travel from 0-62 mph. A dizzying array of leading-edge technology is available to the driver and passengers. For the frst time, the iDrive 5.0 operating system monitor can be used as a touch display in addition to the controller. A new 3D sensor is able to detect hand gestures in order to control a number of functions, including the volume in audio applications and accepting or rejecting incoming telephone calls. Tere is also the option of pairing a specifc gesture with an individual choice of function. A smartphone holder integrated into the center console permits wireless, inductive phone charging for mobile phones – an industry frst. Anyone who’s ever given up in frustration after multiple failed attempts at navigating a tight parking space will appreciate the Remote Control Parking option, a world’s frst in a series-produced vehicle. Car owners will be able to maneuver in or out of forward-
parking spaces or garages without anyone at the wheel via a newly developed BMW Display Key. This innovative key features an LCD touch screen that provides fuel status, estimated range and service requirements. Other notable driver assist features include steering and lane control assistant, lane keeping assistant with active side collision protection, rear collision prevention, crossing trafc warning functions, active cruise control with stop & go function, and the trafc jam assistant, which involves semi-automated driving and can be used on any type of road. All of the aforementioned bells and whistles mean little in the absence of comfort and style, and the new 7 series delivers both in spades. A palpable sense of balance and well-being dominates the cabin. Controls on the center console are outlined in fne wood or aluminum surfaces. Both the trim strips and the instrument panel’s chrome surrounds are made-too-measure for each car. An overall feeling of spaciousness is highlighted by a horizontal surface
structure, which extends through the door trim. An available Panoramic Sky Lounge LED roof boasts etched glass that brings six diferent LED ambient light settings to life. For the ultimate in luxury, a Rear Executive Lounge Seating Package includes functional comfort-based seating, footrests and plush foor mats. The standard Wi-Fi hotspot also allows passengers to stream content from their mobile device directly to the 10" entertainment screens. A unique Ambient Air package option ionizes the air and generates a selection of eight aromas. A newly developed 16-speaker Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system has been specifcally tuned to the interior of the new BMW 7 Series. Realizing that personalization is of paramount importance in the luxury motoring segment, BMW ofers scores of options inside and out to create a custom sedan that is refective of each owner’s aesthetic and performance preferences. Starting MSRP for the 740i Sedan is $81,300 and $97,400 for the 750i xDrive Sedan. sl slmag.net

Villa Stéphanie was built in 1890 to accommodate vacationing royals.
WAY TO GLOW
Te debut of Villa Stéphanie at the Brenner’s Park Hotel in Baden-Baden, Germany revolutionizes the notion of a spa-centric vacation Written by Bridget Williams Pondering the appeal of a grand hotel – the kind conjured up so dreamily in Wes Anderson’s flm Te Grand Budapest Hotel – always makes me wax nostalgic over past stays at these bastions of a bygone era. But unlike the movie version, grand hotels that thrive today celebrate their legacy without eschewing the expectations of contemporary visitors. “Longevity is not always an asset,” said Frank Marrenbach, whose initial plan of a threeyear sprint as managing director of the 143-year-old Brenner’s Park-Hotel & Spa in Baden-Baden, Germany turned into a marathon-stay closing in on two decades. “Tradition is neutral; it’s heritage that’s important,” he added. Located in southwestern Germany’s Black Forest region near the border with France, Brenner’s Park-Hotel is arguably the grandest of the grand hotels built in the 18th and 19th centuries to accommodate the fashionable set that flocked to the thermal baths in Baden-Baden, a ritual the Romans brought to the area some 2,000 years ago. Brenner’s maxim at the time it was built was “luxury as a matter of course.” With the recent debut of Villa 36 slmag.net
Stéphanie on its grounds, past and present converge to create an unrivaled and all-encompassing luxury spa and wellness experience. Housed in a circa 1890 mansion originally built to opulently accommodate royal visitors, Villa Stéphanie is named after Grand Duchess Stéphanie of Baden, the adopted daughter of Napoleon I, who was admired for her beauty and charisma. Te entirety of the villa’s fve foors are given over to wellness, focusing on beauty, detox and nutrition, emotional balance and medical care. Guests lucky enough to take up temporary residence in one of 12 double rooms or three corner suites are given a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in a customized “spa-cation” surrounded by persons inhabiting a like state of mind. Connected to the Villa is “Haus Julius,” a 5,100-square-foot mansion providing tailormade medical care in several felds, including general medicine, aesthetic dentistry and dermatology. Tis combination provides for a totally bespoke experience, where a guest can integrate medical care alongside traditional spa therapies, or kick-off a physician-created nutrition and exercise program.

Guest accommodations are luxurious, but restrained in their modern, clean lines. For those more daring than I, a “digital detox” button allows you to consciously choose to disconnect from technology; I clearly must need some type of 12-step program, as I never came close to fipping the switch. In my defense, I’m fairly certain I spent more time looking at the enviable view from my balcony than my little phone screen. Villa Guests have access to the Salon on the concierge level, where a varying selection of healthful à la carte snacks and drinks are available throughout the day. Guests can choose to sit inside surrounded by scores of beautiful cofee table tomes or outside on the stone terrace overlooking the exquisitely landscaped grounds, which, during the time of our mid-summer stay, were absolutely resplendent with massive hydrangea blooms in vibrant colors I’d never spied before. In planning our retreat, we were guided to choose a treatment and activity plan uniquely suited to our needs and interests, ultimately selecting a balanced mix of active and passive pursuits. Reaching well-beyond the typical spa goers intention of reaching a semi-vegetative state of relaxation, our frst full day began with an alfresco breakfast next to the fountain in the courtyard of the 38 slmag.net
Salon Lichtental in the Brenners Park-Hotel. While the bufet was bounteous and the service genteel, it was my favorite (and nearly impossible to find in my corner of the world) Mariage Frères Marco Polo tea presented in a bespoke Limoges china tea service that really stole the show. “Grand hotels don’t disregard etiquette, and they preserve old-world elegance,” remarked Marrenbach when I was gushing later that day about starting of my morning with such relaxed refnement. E n e r g i z e d a n d ov e r s t u f f e d f r o m a t a d t o o m u c h overindulgence at breakfast, we kicked off our program with an hour of kickboxing and mental coaching with Henri Charlet, a 30-year veteran of the sport and winner of multiple German and European championships. Our session was held in the Villa’s private gym, a space so beautifully designed it would have easily passed for a living room if it wasn’t for the Argon 18 time trial bike tricked out with Zipp wheels positioned on a trainer in the center of the room. Charlet is an amazing athlete, but his instruction in mental training and toughness was truly intriguing. At frst the skeptic in me thought it seemed like a lot of mumbo jumbo, but after giving my entire focus over to a series of drills, I was convinced. We left with a good sweat and lots of positive energy.

Later that afternoon I opted for a traditional hammam treatment. Carried out in the sauna, the treatment is quite vigorous, with a thorough exfoliating scrub and loofah combined with a massage that left my skin smooth and soft. Having tried hammam several times, I’ve discovered that the intensity, combined with the heat, leaves you feeling as though you’ve just run a marathon afterward, so plan ample downtime post-service to recuperate. My second spa day was focused primarily on leisure and relaxation, with a 60-minute Sisley Phyto Aromatique Facial followed by a signature full-body massage. Combined, the treatments were so relaxing that even this solid type A person was lulled into sleep at various intervals. Having all of the available spa treatments and medical services available in one place, as well as gourmet room service from Brenner’s Park-Hotel at your fngertips, permits guests a high degree of privacy and discretion and, for those so inclined, the opportunity to never have to change out of their plush bathrobe! After just a single day in Baden-Baden we were besot by its charms. A walk, run or stroll along the Lichtentaler Allee, a nearly
40 slmag.net
1.5-mile long promenade laid out parallel to the river Oos more than 350 years ago and accessible through a gate on the hotel grounds, is dreamy any time of day. Along the way you meander past the most gorgeous gardens, Belle Époque mansions and centuries-old homes whose facades are punctuated by window boxes heavy with colorful blooms, and then into the heart of the village, where the locals carry baskets to and from the farmer’s market for their daily sustenance. The soul of the city is palpable, and there’s a discernable pride of place among its residents, who enjoy urban amenities in an idyllic countryside setting. “Baden-Baden is really unique to Germany,” explained Bärbel Göhner, head of PR for Brenners Park-Hotel, who added that the area is frequently referred to as The Hamptons of Germany. Marrenbach called it an “oasis of tranquility without being boring,” and highlighted the region’s dual French/German infuence, safety, rich cultural life, an abundance of outdoor pursuits and the posh trappings that accompany being one of the wealthiest cities in the country.
Casino Baden-Baden
Marlene Dietrich described Baden-Baden’s casino, Germany’s oldest, as, "Te most beautiful casino in the world,” and Dostoevsky famously spent a summer and nearly all of his money in the palatial gambling halls. Stopping by for one of the daily guided morning tours, we were awed by the splendor of the space and wished we’d brought appropriate evening attire to return and insert ourselves into a setting ft for a high stakes encounter with James Bond. Tere are ample sights, both within walking distance and further afeld, that can amply fll a typical weeklong stay: ruins of ancient Roman baths; the Ascot-esque scene at the Ifezheim horse racetrack; the Rebland wine region; the Friedrichsbad IrishRoman baths, the oldest in the city and requiring a minimum of 2.5 hours to complete the 16-step treatment; several museums along the “Cultural Mile”; numerous castle ruins; and, the Black Forest National Park. Brenner’s Park-Hotel offers a comprehensive hiking and biking guide, rated by difficulty, with equipment and guides available. My overdeveloped sense of nostalgia made me regret I didn’t schedule a daytrip with
“Oscar,” the hotel’s fully restored special edition 1960s VW T1 Samba minibus, available to guests for chaufeured trips into the countryside complete with a gourmet picnic lunch. The respite offered by Villa Stéphanie epitomizes the benefts sought from a hard-earned vacation. It is a place that invites you to slow down and savor its many sights and sounds, a realization I came to in an organic fashion one afternoon while wandering the hotel’s manicured grounds. I stopped to admire a tranquil scene that in daily life would have gone unnoticed: trailing tendrils from a towering willow tree that seemed to sip from the river as their leaves were tickled by the ripples of water gently flowing over the cobblestone-lined riverbed. “For all those who devote all their energy to their families and business all year round, Villa Stephanie represents a place to regain strength, focus and health to master their demanding lives even better,” said Marrenbach.

Carignan: An identity crisis worth investigating
Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier
Gravillas mantis on Carignan grapes. Photo courtesy of Clos du Gravillas.
Not many have heard of the grape Carignan, and it doesn’t appear on very many wine labels. It is often underappreciated and misunderstood. While Carignan is the French name for the grape, in the United States it is referred to as Carignane and in Italy as Carignano. For added confusion, Carignan has at least three synonyms in Spain: it is called Samso in Catalonia, Mazuelo in Rioja, and Cariñena in Aragón. Talk about the pain of an identity crisis! Somewhat deserving of its pejorative reputation, Carignan was, and still is to some extent, responsible for the enormous quantity of low quality wine in the southern region of France called Languedoc-Roussillon, as well as other parts of the world, due in no small order to its ability to produce yields of nearly four times higher then other “superior” wine grapes. If you want to make a great deal of red wine in a warm climate, a savvy winemaker would invariably choose the late-ripening, high-output grape Carignan. Historically, this is exactly what happened, making Carignan one of the most planted grapes in

France. Expect harsh, rustic tannins, under ripe green flavors, lack of complexity and zero fnesse. But this has changed, at least to some degree, and in recent years Carignan has quietly been shedding its poor reputation. A lot of Carignan has been pulled out of vineyards in favor of “better” quality grapes, but if you tame the gigantic yields, you can make a very nice wine of concentration, complexity and fnesse. Old vines naturally produce lower yields, and hence, the quality leaders are producing Carignan from older, low-yielding vines in France and other areas of the world, such as Priorat, Spain; Maule Valley, Chile; and Sardinia, Italy. Tese areas also may employ techniques such as dry-farming and head-pruning bush vines, which help reduce yields. Additional areas certainly grow Carignan; it is believed to originate in Spain from the eponymous region of Cariñena, Aragón. Ironically in Cariñena, it is the second most planted red grape after Grenache. While the Spanish region of Priorat may be the best-known area for quality Carignan blends, I want to highlight the Maule Valley, Sardinia and Languedoc-Roussillon.

MAULE VALLEY CARIGNAN In Chile, they love their small quantities of Carignan so much that a group of producers have formed a quality association called Vigno “Vignadores de Carignan.” Vigno wines are a minimum 65 percent Cariganan from old vines that are dry-farmed, headpruned bush vines from the Maule Valley. Vigno has helped push Chilean Carignan forward and has done a great job preserving the vineyards and promoting the quality of Carignan. Carignan Garcia & Schwaderer Vigno 2011 (Crucecillas [Maule Valley], Chile) With an average vine age of 54 years, this wine more than qualifes for old vines. Te wine is aged in 20 percent new French oak and 80 percent used French oak for two years. It is almost opaque purple and full-bodied with the favors of violets, pepper, earth and black fruits. Tannins are well integrated and would stand up nicely to grilled rack of lamb. SARDINIAN CARIGNANO The name “Isola dei Nuraghi” literally means the Island of the Nuraghi. Sardinia's nuraghi are conical stone towers that speak to the island’s strategic position in ancient times, and there are estimated to still be 7,000 or so nuraghi on the island, making it a symbol of Sardinia. While Carignano is not the most important grape of Sardinia, it may very well be on the way to becoming its specialty. Argicola Punica Barrua 2011 (Isola dei Nuraghi [Sardinia], Italy) Made from a blend of 85 percent Carignano, 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and fve percent Merlot. Te wine spends 18 months in French oak: 50 percent new and 50 percent yearold. Medium purple color, with a beautiful old-world nose of sweet leather, blackberry, cherry, baking spices, notes of licorice
and hints of purple fowers. Try with bone-in strip steak seasoned with ample fresh black pepper and sea salt. Argicola Punica Montessu 2011 (Isola dei Nuraghi [Sardina], Italy) Made from 60 percent Carignano, 10 percent Syrah, 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 10 percent Cabernet Franc and 10 percent Merlot. Aged in French oak barrels, two-to-three years old, for up to 10 months. Medium purple, with the scent of black fruits, wild strawberries, forest foor, licorice and lavender, with balanced tannins and a freshness and verve. Perfect with herbcrusted, roasted pork lion. LANGUEDOC-ROUSSILLON CARIGNAN If you surveyed the French regarding their opinion of Carignan, you may come to the conclusion that they are ambivalent. Tey either love it or hate it. Vigneron’s that love it make delicious Carignan that will prompt you to forget about those who hate it. If there were Carignan evangelists, it would likely be John and Nicole Bojanowski, a Franco-American couple that have been making world-class Carignan in the area around Saint-Jean-deMinervois at Clos Du Gravillas. Clos Du Gravillas Lo Vièlh 2007 Carignan (Vin de Pays [IGP] Cotes du Brian Rouge, France) By French law it must be at least 85 percent Carignan. Te oldest vines date from 1911 to 1970. Te wine is produced organically and is foot crushed and aged in 400-litre French barrels. The wine tastes of black cherries, plum, saddle leather, Provencal herbs, lavender, violets and pepper with a medium to full body, and well-integrated tannins. Try with grilled duck sausage. sl A Certifed Wine Educator, Harper is one of 140 professionals in North America and 220 worldwide who have earned the title Master Sommelier.

Destination Antiques: Winter Antiques Show, New York Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers

Te opening night party includes a who’s who of collectors as well as New York social, celebrity and political fgures.
Ev e r y Ja n u a r y, i n Ne w Yo r k’s t o n y Up p e r E a s t Si d e neighborhood, a seasoned group of antiques enthusiasts buck the snowbird trend in favor of the most prestigious two weeks on the American collecting scene: Te Winter Antiques Show. Held in the historic and stunning Park Avenue Armory, the Winter Antiques Show is the star and centerpiece of Americana Week - a convention (of sorts) of scholars, collectors, dealers and auctioneers who gather for a series of auctions, lectures and antique shows that tend to set the pace of the American antiques market - ofering the broader antiques community a fairly accurate forecast of how the market will progress in the coming year. Built in 1861 by New York’s “silk stocking” Seventh Regiment of the National Guard in response to a call for troops by President Lincoln, the Armory on Park was as much a social club as a military facility. Members of the Regiment included some of the most prominent families of the Gilded Age: Vanderbilts, Van Rensselaers, and Roosevelts, among others. No expense was spared. A noteworthy architectural and engineering feat of the 19th century is the 55,000-square-foot Wade Tompson Drill Hall. One of the largest unobstructed spaces in New York today, the hall was designed by Regiment veteran and architect, Charles W. Clinton - whose frm went on to design the Apthorp Apartments and the Astor Hotel.

It is in this remarkable space that the Winter Antiques Show (WAS) dealers assemble. Given the collective buying power of the sophisticated collecting audience, an exhibitor spot in the WAS is an enviable, albeit daunting opportunity. Seventythree WAS dealers collectively spend several million dollars to participate in the 10-day show; the inventory they bring refects their phenomenal investment of time and money. WAS booths are breathtaking installations of not only premium inventory, but also the personalities and passions of each company and its respective industry leader. Twenty years ago, Patrick Bell and his business partner Edwin Hild (of renowned Olde Hope Antiques), were ofered the coveted booth vacated by great folk art dealer, Gerald Kornblau. “...The Winter Antiques Show represents the very finest dealers and objects available in the many disciplines represented. It is the standard by which all other shows are measured and only Masterpiece London and TEFAF compare in stature and quality, and of course they are European fairs,” Bell recently said. As Bell’s comment hints, the WAS has expanded beyond the focus of the rest of Americana Week. Nearly two-thirds of the exhibitors specialize in other categories, including jewelry, midcentury modern, rugs and Asian artifacts. While it is now the minority by number of dealers, the heart of the show remains American furniture and decorative arts. Revered names in the

business can be found on the WAS floor, one after another, displaying the best of their inventory. Stuart Feld of Hirschl & d Adler represents a sophisticated blend of fne art and high-style 19th century furnishings. Working in an earlier period of very fne antiques, the shops of Nathan Liverant & Son and C.L. Prickett are each led by second-generation antiquarians continuing the proud tradition of sourcing exemplary and important examples of early American furniture established by their fathers. An exuberant demand for folk art in previous years spawned a separate show during Americana week dedicated to the category, but the WAS continues to host incomparable folk art dealers like Barbara Pollack, David Schorsch and Eileen Smiles, Alan Katz and Grace & Elliott Snyder. The eclectic but distinguished Tillou Gallery displays everything from pre-Columbian art to coins to 18th century American art and furniture. From Arader Galleries and Te Old Print Shop, buyers may browse selections of early prints and etchings; and the American aesthetic movement is beautifully represented by Associated Artists. Any attempt to list the bevy of signifcant professionals who comprise the show is daring at best, for fear of leaving out a respected frm or individual. In addition to the impressive score of dealers, the WAS always includes a loan exhibition, lecture series and a number of social events kicked off by the glamorous opening night
party. Celebrity watchers will not be disappointed as a veritable who’s who of the Upper East Side shells out $2,500 per person to have frst shot at the best inventory in the show. At $200 per ticket, the Young Collectors Night is a more approachable ticket for new collectors, emerging philanthropists, and art and design enthusiasts, and includes a private reception with a number of recognized interior design professionals ready to lend advice about decorating with antiques. Daily tickets to shop the show are available for a mere $25. Loan exhibitions are always featured at the entrance to the show; in 2016 items from the Wadswoth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut will be displayed. Lecture series span collecting interests, and are often accompanied by book-signings, giving visitors many reasons to return to the show across the ten-day run. Proceeds from the Winter Antiques Show benefit the important educational and social services work of the East Side House Settlement. Te Winter Antiques Show will be held January 22 - 31, 2016.

HOTEL CONFIDENTIAL
Omni Bedford Springs Resort Written by Bridget Williams Water can be curative or catastrophic. For the Omni Bedford Springs Resort, water is both its raison d'être and a force that almost wiped it off the map nearly 200 years later. In 1796 Dr. John Anderson “discovered” mineral springs tucked in the Allegheny Mountains of south-central Pennsylvania, an area long revered as sacred healing grounds for the Iroquois and Shawnee tribes. Word quickly spread about the “healing waters,” and soon, people from all over the country converged upon Bedford seeking a cure for what ailed them. In an effort to accommodate the masses, Dr. Anderson devised plans for an ambitious hotel and purchased a large tract of land whose sole structure was a grist mill. His initial hotel, opened in 1806, continued to be enlarged over the years until the Georgian-style building stretched nearly a quarter mile from end-to-end. The expansion of the railroad made the area easily accessible for residents of DC, Philadelphia and New York, who sought solace in the pristine outdoors from increasingly polluted city life. 50 slmag.net
The resort’s golf course, first laid out by Spencer Oldham in 1895, is one of the oldest courses in the United States. Now known as the Bedford Springs Old Course, the most recent refurbishment saw the restoration of the natural spring bed with native grasses and other natural materials indigenous to the food plain, as well as water features apparent at nearly every hole. Eleven U.S. presidents have visited the resort: Tomas Jeferson, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James Polk, James Buchanan, James Garfield, William Howard Taft, Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. Buchanan received the frst transatlantic cable sent from England to the U.S. at the hotel in August of 1958. His summer in residence at the resort prompted it to be referred to as the “Summer White House.” Despite being designated a National Historic Landmark in 1984, the hotel closed its doors in 1986, was nearly destroyed by a fash food in 1988, and fell into great disrepair before being purchased a decade later. Following an extensive $120 million renovation and restoration, the property reopened to overnight guests in 2007.

Today, the 2,200-acre, 216-room, four-season resort represents an ideal balance of old and new. Toughtful interior design presents period antiques and historical photographs in such a way as to convey a feeling of being welcomed into a grand, stylish family home versus a staid museum. Te heart of the hotel – the mineral spring-fed indoor pool – retains its historic charm. It is fun to imagine what would be said if walls could talk. Though I didn’t experience anything paranormal, there are stories of guests that have reported ghostly encounters with spirits of soldiers and small children who mysteriously appear in photographs taken at the resort. The Eternal Spring, the name of the area’s eighth mineral spring, discovered during the 2007 renovation, serves as the moniker for the hotel’s 30,000-square-foot spa, which was designed to blend with the resort’s Georgian architecture. A total of 15 treatment rooms provide for a wide range of services, including the Bedford Baths signature bathing ritual, massage, body wraps, hydrotherapy, refexology, skincare, and specialty services such as Intuitive Touch, Shamanic and Reiki Healing, and Acutonics. As a full-service resort, there are ample dining and recreational options on property, and nearby excursions are ideal for early American history buffs. A sampling of the more active pursuits include 25 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails over varying
terrain; a seasonal outdoor pool (part of a $1.5 million aquatic center); Segway and UTV trail tours; an archery center; fshing in Red Oak Lake; and a well-equipped ftness center. From rustic to refned, the fve on-site dining options overseen by Executive Chef David Noto provide something for every palette. For foodies, his engaging and highly entertaining cooking demonstrations and classes are a must-do. Serving breakfast and dinner, the elegant Crystal Room presents farm-to-table cuisine from its exhibition kitchen. Closely refective of the hotel’s history, the intimate, candlelit rooms of the 1796 Room serve up traditional hearty fare, focusing on steaks, chops, fsh and fowl. Next to the 1796 Room, the original stone walls up the ambiance in the circa 1806 Frontier Tavern, which serves lunch, dinner and drinks; an adjacent outdoor fre pit is popular for its nightly s’mores service. Casual fare and gourmet-to-go is served at the Che Sara Cafe, located near the indoor pool; Te Turtle Shell at the outdoor pool; and Feight’s Folly, near the golf course’s 10th green. Located three miles south of Exit 146 of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, the resort is an accessible scenic drive from several metropolitan areas: Pittsburgh (90 minutes), Washington, DC (two hours), Baltimore (two hours), Philadelphia (three hours) and New York City (four hours).

SALON PRIVÉ
Jaguar and Ferrari take top honors as Salon Privé marks its 10th anniversary Written by Andre James As evidenced by the stunning display of vehicles in the Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elégance and the Pirelli Prestige & Performance Competition at its new location on the superbly manicured lawns of Blenheim Palace, Salon Privé has cemented its position as the UK’s leading luxury classic and supercar show. Enjoying the three-day extravaganza for himself, the 12th Duke of Marlborough was impressed: “I am thrilled at how well the frst year of the Salon Privé Supercar Show went. It was fantastic to see such a huge range of amazing cars and to welcome so many enthusiasts. I very much look forward to next year’s event and hosting the show for years to come.’’ With in excess of 11,000 visitors attending, this year ofered something for both classic and modern car enthusiasts.

competitions celebrated the beauty and passion of automotive design and engineering, with vehicles ranging from pre-war tourers to the latest super and hypercars. Te perennially popular Boodles Ladies’ Day, a longstanding highlight of Salon Privé, was another rousing success, combining stunning jewelry, elegant dresses and magnificent hats. A procession of Koenigseggs, led by Christian von Koenigsegg himself, escorted the 10 best-dressed women to the winner’s rostrum, where Alexa Watson was awarded the top prize. VIP guests enjoyed a quintessential English day out with lobster and champagne, as they took in motoring rarities such as the second ever UK viewing of the three hypercar track cars together – the Ferrari FXX K, Aston Martin Vulcan and McLaren P1 GTR.

Besting 68 other highly competitive entrants, a Jaguar XK120 Jabbeke, owned by Kurt A. Engelhorn, stole the show at the Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elégance, considered one of the top three global Concours events. It triumphed over what some considered to be the favorite, a 1937 Delahaye 135MS Cabriolet, which received the coveted People’s Choice award and a special award for Most Elegant. With a focus on models from 1975 to the present, the inaugural Pirelli Performance & Prestige Competition on Saturday saw 69 super and hypercars square of in the famous Great Court of Blenheim Palace. Adding great dramatic efect, Horacio Pagani lead a procession of 11 Paganis (three Pagani Huayras and eight Pagani Zondas) onto the showfeld. Ferraris received many of the day’s awards, with a Ferrari 360 Challenge 64 slmag.net
Stradale winning the Built for Speed class and the Ferrari Superamerica taking the Feel the Breeze title. It was a LaFerrari owned by George Bamford that ruled the day, taking the top spot in the Blink and it’s Gone class and receiving the overall Pirelli Award for the day. “I was blown away to win at such an amazing event. It was a wonderful day, and the Bagley brothers did an outstanding job. It was a real tour de force of supercars, and it was a total surprise to win,” remarked Bamford. Andrew Bagley, Salon Privé managing director, commented, “In our first year at Blenheim Palace, we couldn’t be more thrilled. The Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elégance welcomed the best of the classic car world, while The Pirelli Prestige & Performance Competition attracted a whole new audience to the spectacle of Salon Privé – all of whom loved the parade of super and hypercars.” sl

For a piece of new construction, the Huse’s French-style villa looks perfectly at home on its Meridian Hills lot.
MOVING TOWARD PERFECTION Designer and restaurateur build their most ambitious home to date Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung It is fortunate for designer Jill Huse that she really enjoys her job. Her husband, Craig, “loves to move,” so she is often engaged in re-imagining their homes. “I always joke that every time Craig Huse has to change a lightbulb, he puts a for sale sign in the yard,” Jill says. “He loves the purging and the moving part of it. I love the designing.” Having lived in their previous home for nearly seven years, the couple recently felt an urge to try something new, preferably in Meridian Hills. Finding the right kind of residence in an older neighborhood was quite literally a tall order, however. Craig, who stands well over 6 feet, was accustomed to the high ceilings 70 slmag.net
aforded by modern construction, especially in basements where gregarious men tend to do a fair amount of entertaining. In the end, the solution to the low ceilings and many other issues was to purchase an existing home in the desired location, demolish it, and build something more contemporary and practical in its place. Te couple spent months looking for just the right combination of home and address. When they found it, almost nothing could be salvaged from the original structure. All that remains from the property’s previous iteration is the dishwasher and a single Haviland salad plate of historical interest.
An antique bench painted silver and recovered in a silk ikat sits in the foyer.
slmag.net
71
Wooden beams, an ornate freplace and French doors to the front yard accent the home’s living room, while a teal linen ottoman provides a pop of color.
“We bought this in 2014, tore it down and rebuilt it,” Jill explains. “There was no basement in the original house. Unfortunately, we had to fill in the lovely old kidney shaped pool because it didn’t ft in with the foor plan. Tis was our frst time building with Scott Campbell. Now we have dinner twice a month and we have done several projects together.” Te old house was donated to the fre department, who used it for practice, setting of smoke bombs, breaking down doors and windows and cutting holes in the roof. Te Huses’ 7-year-old twins, Sophia and Carson, loved it. The new dwelling is perfectly suited to a busy family life, occupying three floors with ample private spaces in which to either work or relax, plus plenty of room for entertaining and gathering. Jill is happy with the design and layout, in spite of being a severe self critic. “Te house has worked out much as we planned it,” she says. “Tere are always things you might want to change…no one is perfect. It fows the way we envisioned it. We spend time where
72 slmag.net
we thought we would spend time. We really don’t have any rooms we don’t use, with the exception maybe of our formal living room. We wanted to make all the rooms smart and usable.” As is the case in many a modern home today, the kitchen is the epicenter of family activity. Jill’s favorite part is the bench, where she drinks her morning cofee every day, underneath an imposing mirror designed and built by local artisan Mark Tourney, and inspired by Balthazar restaurant in New York. She admits to having borrowed the idea for the bench from the Food Network’s Ted Allen, who is originally from Carmel, after reading an article about his home in a design magazine. She was subsequently able to thank him personally for his inspiration when he presented Craig with a James Beard Award. “Kitchen designers try to talk you out of doing something like this,” Jill jokes. “They say: ‘You’re losing all that cabinet space.’ But we are restaurant people. We eat out a lot; I don’t need a ton of bread makers and pasta machines. We already have plenty of counter space.”
Cables anchor soaring beams in the stylish, yet kid friendly great room. Bars across the window into the wine cellar betray the treasures that hide within. French doors open to the loggia. Te couch is lined with Sunbrella indoor/outdoor fabric, Jill explains, “so I don’t freak if they kids spill on it.”

Among the books displayed throughout the home, a vintage copy of Augusta Jane Evans’ Victorian novel St. Elmo.
Te Huse’s 1-year-old Doberman, Ruby, stationed herself at our photographer’s feet for most of the shoot. In between takes in the master bedroom, she had fun mussing the bedding and watching a room of artful perfectionists swarm to re-set the scene.
Above a tall stairway with a curving wall, a series of pendants, mostly new though one is from a Paris bistro, mimic an efect used at Harry & Izzy’s: using mismatched pieces to look vintage and curated.
A collection of black-and-white family photos that Jill presented to Craig on a recent birthday lines the walls of the upstairs hallway separating the children’s rooms.
74 slmag.net
A zinc window from an old Paris apartment building, now lined with an antique mirror, adds to the elegance of the Huse dining room.

75
Te kitchen sits atop hand-scraped maple with an ebony stain. Te indoor/outdoor zinc table is “indestructible,” says Jill, a bonus in a home where 7-year-olds roam. Te crown atop the table came from AKA Stella Gray on New Orleans’ Magazine Street. Te bench behind the table is Jill’s favorite place to enjoy her morning cofee. Local artist Mark Tourney created the mirror above, rifng of designs found in the famous New York restaurant Balthazar.
76 slmag.net

77
Te twins’ bedrooms refect their inhabitants’ proclivities. Sophia loves purple and the Eifel Tower. Carson loves airplanes. Jill avoided overly kid-centric themes in hopes the rooms could evolve along with the kids’ penchants.
In the master bedroom, the designer layered textures and maximized the play of natural light streaming in from the adjacent courtyard. With the help of Drapery Street, she incorporated linen, silk, burlap and faux fur into pillows and window treatments.
78 slmag.net
Te eclectic feel of the lounge pays homage to Jill’s love of the mismatched. “To me,” she says, “anything you truly love is a pair of khaki pants … you can make it work anywhere.”
Central to the cooking area is a monolithic island, unusually devoid of sinks or appliances. Tis not only serves as a prep area, but also as an admirable spot for friends and family to gather before meals. Surprisingly, perhaps, in a kitchen used by such prominent restaurant people, the well-appointed space features a sleek induction cooktop where one might expect to see a massive industrial eight-burner range. “Te hard sell was the cooktop,” Jill admits. “Craig really wanted those big gas burners, but these are so much easier to keep clean.” Spacious and full of natural light, the home features numerous outside living areas, loggias and patios, allowing a choice of sun or shade at all times of the day, and seamless indoor-outdoor options in the evening. A formal dining room comfortably seats 10, and features a rope-covered Bassman-Blaine console table formerly belonging to actor Patrick Dempsey, purchased from One King’s
Lane. Across the hallway, in a more casual lounge area, an eclectic assortment of prints, paintings and photographs adorn the walls. Tis cozy, overtly masculine room serves as a gathering space for pre-dinner cocktails or postprandial digestifs. “We have very similar tastes and style when it comes to our home,” Craig says. “When she seeks my opinion, the design decisions are narrowed down to two to three options — all of which are fabulous. That’s the fun part and I appreciate the process that she went through to get it to that point. Jill has exceptional taste and a vision which creates a timeless space ftting with its place and intention.” Artwork abounds throughout the house, whether it be original portraits, framed Hermes scarves or works by local artists. Jill’s approach to collecting is simple: “Artwork is eclectic. If you see it and love it, get it. You can always fnd a spot for it.” sl slmag.net

1933
Iconic steak house’s new cocktail lounge ofers a twist of intimacy, nostalgia Written by Neil Charles Photography by Kelley Jordan Although St. Elmo Steak House was named an American Classic by the James Beard Foundation in 2012, the restaurant’s father-son ownerrship team, Steve and Craig Huse, never seems to marvel much at past glories. As much as one’s history might deserve respect, the future is more pressing. Any conversation with Craig Huse on the subject of his business usually refers to the importance of remaining both respectful of the past and, at the same time, in his words, “relevant.”

Te latest addition to the Huses’ stable of fne dining establishments (which includes the highly successful trio of Harry & Izzy’s restaurants), is the 1933 Lounge, situated above St. Elmo. Te bar represents a stylistically subtle departure from the hustle of the steak house itself, but is still recognizably part of that unique brand. If St. Elmo is a more or less constant hurricane of activity, 1933 could be considered the eye; a sedate haven away from the madness downstairs. Tose who have dined at St. Elmo, even on a fairly quiet evening, will know that its bar is not the ideal place to go for some gentle decompression after a long day at the ofce. It may be a great place for people watching, but it is also fastpaced and high-volume. Drinking here is more of a contact sport than a pastime. Even Huse admits that here “unwinding is difficult because of the energy and vibe.” As busy as St. Elmo had become over the decade leading up to the Super Bowl, the decision was eventually made to try to capture some of the pre-dinner drinks business that was heading elsewhere, while at the same time creating a postProhibition-themed lounge to appeal to a new generation of upscale drinkers.

“St. Elmo didn’t need another dining room, but we did need a place for our guests to share time together over conversation and cocktails, a place to unwind,” Huse says. “Te 1933 Lounge is a classic, genuine, cocktail lounge. The tables are small so that conversations are easy and the atmosphere is intimate and comfortable.” While maintaining the masculine, clubby atmosphere of the main restaurant, 1933 takes its name from the repeal of Prohibition. By contrast with the steak house, where the majority of servers are men, here female servers wearing red cocktail dresses (a reference back to John Dillinger’s fnal moments, perhaps) take care of the customers. Designer Jill Huse, Craig’s wife, sees the décor as an amalgamation of styles, rather than a snapshot of a specifc time. “We wanted it to feel like it represented the diferent eras of the restaurant, so it wasn’t exactly all old, but it wasn’t new either,” she explains. “We have all these great photos from diferent stages in the history, so we would ask ‘I wonder what it was like then.’ We wanted to make it feel like it was cobbled together from mismatched fxtures, rather like the rest of the restaurant has been.” Central to the lounge’s antique décor is the Brunswick bar crafted in 1898. Once located in a tavern in Assumption, Ill., where it survived a major fire, the bar was taken upstairs in sections and reassembled on site. It is a massive, stately edifce, which has doubtless born witness to a thousand tales of woe and derring-do. It is what a bar should be. It is here that skilled bartenders prepare a selection of cocktails loosely based upon post-Prohibition recipes, but although that may be the inspiration, as Bryn Jones, director of marketing, explains, it is not the be-all and end-all. “We have certainly embraced the craft cocktail movement,” Jones says, “but we don’t want that to defne us. We can engage enough of what is new to keep relevant, but not enough to steer us from our path.” In other words, you will not have to wait 20 minutes while an emaciated steam punk type with an outlandishly waxed mustache measures out your drink with a pipette.

A similarly straightforward, no-nonsense philosophy informs the culinary side. Rather than ofering St. Elmo’s menu at 1933, Huse and Dave Foegley, director of culinary operations, decided to create a new menu of small plates that would at once both provide an alternative to regular diners and ofer a more contemporary selection of dishes to new customers. Here you can graze upon some grilled bacon from Smoking Goose, a couple of succulent sliders or a couple of modestly proportioned but exquisitely flavored pork chops. The quality of the ingredients is impeccable, with several items sourced from precisely the same purveyors used by many of the smaller farm-to table establishments. Te diference here, however, is in the approach. Although Dave Foegley is without doubt one of the city’s star chefs, Huse is open about 1933’s priorities: “We specialize in really great ingredients simply done,” he says. “We have a great chef in Dave, but this is not a chef-driven concept.” Like a luxurious ocean liner on a timeless cruise, St. Elmo Steak House continues to chart its own stately course, with little regard to fashion or trends. With the addition of the 1933 Lounge, however, this venerable, old establishment shows that it is capable of keeping current and relevant in the midst of an increasingly vibrant and competitive culinary scene. Long may she sail. sl 1933 Lounge is located above St. Elmo Steak House, Downtown near Circle Center Mall at 127 S. Illinois St., 635-0636. It’s open from 4 p.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday.
