From the Editor

On the morning of July 12, a beautiful human being lost her battle with cancer. Kim Poderys was the type of friend who is best described by the book, “Balcony People” by Joyce Heatherly. Always cheering someone on, always a smile and always ofering words of afrmation or encouragement, Kim was a very spiritual person who sought to connect deeply with everyone she knew. She was taken far too soon, and our thoughts are with her sweet children and the husband she loved so much. Since Kim’s passing, two of my colleagues also lost their battles with cancer. I know I am not alone. Each of you, I am certain, has been touched by this terrible disease. In this issue, we hope you’ll take note (in the society pages) of the eforts of our friends in the community to battle the scourge of cancer by raising important research dollars for Te Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James). To date, our largest community fundraiser - Pelotonia, has raised over $14M this year alone. You can still be involved, as donations will be accepted through October 9. I urge you to visit pelotonia.org and read a few of the cancer stories available on rider profles. And, for those of you battling your own fght against cancer, or supporting someone else in theirs, stay strong and know that you are not alone. Warmest wishes,

Amelia Jeffers Editor in Chief ajefers@slmag.net

Food is art, adventure and academics at Te Seasoned Farmhouse

DISCOVER:

THE SEASONED FARMHOUSE Written by Amelia Jefers

Photography by Jane Eriksen Blending a passion for cooking and an insatiable entrepreneurial drive, Chef Tricia Wheeler sits at the helm of two impressive resources for Columbus foodies. As the Editor in Chief and Publisher of the seasonal magazine Edible Columbus, Wheeler enthusiastically promotes locally owned restaurants, area farms and culinary artisans of all types. As founder of Te Seasoned Farmhouse, Wheeler brings the instructional pages of Edible Columbus to life - within the four walls of a recreational cooking school focused on helping the food-curious become food-confident. From The Seasoned Farmhouse kitchen in Clintonville, Wheeler serves up healthy portions of locally sourced products, special events and cooking and gardening classes for everyone from novice to veteran. Each October, an intimate group of students embark on a 30 week culinary journey with the classically trained chef in the Etoile Series. For three hours each week, students glean from the intense training Wheeler received as the number one student in her graduating class at the French Culinary Institute in New York City. Donning a monogrammed chef ’s jacket, students wield a variety of tools as they begin with the foundation of French cooking (stocks) 22 slmag.net

and end with French pastry. From October through May, classes are held during lunch or dinner, and each ends with a delectable dining reward. Wheeler covers all types of French preparations of meats, vegetables and her favorite thing to teach – French Mother Sauces. At the end of the course, the students host a celebratory dinner in Te Seasoned Farmhouse kitchen, recreating a favorite menu from the course for special guests - a memorable night when students’ confdence in their abilities and new skills shine. In addition to the 30 week series, Wheeler and her stable of capable chefs release a new schedule of classes each season at theseasonedfarmhouse.com, always geared toward the home cook. Shorter series include an 8-week technique class and a four week fresh-from-the-farmers-market class each year. For those with limited time in their schedules, singlesession classes are often available. Wheeler’s zeal for moving her students from a mundane relationship to their meals to an appreciation - and even joyful approach to everyday cooking is nothing short of inspiring. sl Te Etoile Series is a 30-week course beginning in late October. Te cost is $3,200 per person, and it usually sells out. To learn more, visit theseasonedfarmhouse.com or call 614-230-6281.

Haxton competing in 2014 World Championships, Amsterdam, Te Netherlands

DO YOU KNOW:

BLAKE HAXTON Written by Katharine Mallory

Photography courtesy Blake Haxton Most world-class athletes attract a fair bit of attention. Tose in a class of their own defect that attention to those around them. And then there is the class reserved for individuals like Blake Haxton, those who defect that attention while defying the odds to compete and succeed in both their sport and at life. Te spring of 2009 saw Haxton enjoying life as a high school senior in his final semester at Upper Arlington High School. Te bright student and standout athlete was recruited by the top collegiate rowing programs in the country, and looked forward to competition at the next level. Tose plans changed abruptly when a slight twinge in Haxton’s right calf after a basketball game signaled a fght for his life. Haxton had contracted necrotizing fasciitis, a rare flesheating bacteria, which was moving through his system at lightning-fast speed. Within 72 hours of first noticing that twinge, Haxton’s organs began shutting down and he was kept on life-sustaining equipment so that his brother could return from college to say goodbye. In an effort to save their patient, Haxton’s doctors performed more than 20 surgeries, including amputating both of his legs. His odds of survival were so slim that doctors refused to acknowledge that he had any chance at all, and his parents planned his funeral. Yet Haxton survived, and his journey through recovery and rehabilitation to law student and Paralympic hopeful is remarkable. Four years after his last time in a racing shell, Haxton had nearly no desire to return to rowing, but the frst-year law student did want a mental and physical break from studying. He began rowing at home on an ergometer, and both he and his longtime coach and friend Pat Kington noticed that his times were fast. Really fast. He made plans to compete in the World Indoor Rowing Championships in Boston, and laughs as he recounts that trip, “My best friend from high school, Steve Barthelmas, drove all night through a snowstorm to get me there.” Haxton made sure the trip was worth it - he won his event, (Arms and Shoulders Men’s Single Sculls) setting a new U.S. record in the process. Tat victory put 26 slmag.net

into motion a process that saw Haxton secure a spot on the 2014 U.S. Para-Rowing National Team and earn a fourth-place fnish in the 2014 World Rowing Championships held in Amsterdam. Tose who hear Haxton’s story marvel at his positivity and resilience. Haxton, on the other hand, is quite clear where his strength comes from, “I could talk all day about it. I wish people could see what I have seen. Any success I have had is the result of others pouring themselves into me. The support and love from my family and community, those who stepped in and up, it’s a special thing to be a part of.” It is this tight-knit group, many of them rowers, who have supported Haxton from day one on this journey that none of them could have anticipated. Spurred by their love for Haxton and his sport, the Blake Haxton Invitational Regatta was born. Chris Swartz, Haxton’s high school coach, (who also happens to be the individual responsible for forming the first competitive rowing program at Ohio State, in 1978) set out to create an event that captured the spirit of rowing and of Haxton. Swartz says of Haxton, “In the time that Blake rowed for me, he embodied everything I’ve always tried to teach my kids.” Unlike typical fall format races that see single boats racing against the clock, the Haxton Invitational is modeled after Henley-style racing - sending boats in pairs. Te event is highly competitive, attracting the fastest teams in the Midwest, and the format generates plenty of excitement for both the crews and their fans. Tis year’s event will be held October 24th at Griggs Reservoir on the Scioto River and benefts the UA Crew Scholarship Fund and UA Rowing Foundation, which help to defray some of the costs for student rowers. Before Haxton helps to host his namesake regatta, he will spend late August and early September at the 2015 World Rowing Championships in Aiguebelette, France, representing the United States. Tis race serves as the pre-qualifer for the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio, which are certainly on Haxton’s radar. sl To learn more about Blake Haxton, view his TEDx talk at www.tedx.osu.edu/speakers.

DON’T MISS: THE NEW ALBANY CLASSIC INVITATIONAL GRAND PRIX & FAMILY DAY beneftting Te Center for Family Safety and Healing Written by Katharine Mallory Photography by Curtis Wallis courtesy New Albany Classic For one splendid September day each year, an already lovely parcel of land in New Albany transforms into a magical venue of family fun, world-class show jumping, and philanthropy at its finest. Entry onto the property grants guests a day so full of frst-class entertainment that it could only be Te Classic.

An Art Advisor’s Guide to Navigating Art Fairs

Written by Anita Heriot

Scene from Cosmoscow 2014. Te 2015 event is scheduled for September 11-13 in Moscow (cosmoscow.com).

Te season is upon us for art fairs. Use this checklist to make your time at an art fair fun and productive. 1. Strategize. Choose a fair. Make a list of the top fve galleries at each fair you want to see. Locate them on the map when you enter each section of the fair, then establish your route to make sure you get to the booths you want to see. 2. Budget. Establish a budget and make a wish list. Dealers want to sell to serious buyers. Know what you are willing to pay and stick to it within 10%. Tere is something for buyers at every level of collecting. 3. Comfort. Eat before you go and bring a snack. Food will be available, but lines can be long and tables/seats unavailable. Wear comfortable shoes and leave large bags and backpacks at home. Charge your phone before you go or bring a backup. Go ahead and enjoy an alcoholic beverage while perusing the shows, it is part of the fun. 4. Navigate. Getting around to all of the fairs can be difcult. Consider opting for the free shuttle or traveling with a group of like-minded collectors. 5. Inquire. Feel free to ask questions about prices and about the artist and his or her work, but be mindful that you do not interrupt a sale in progress. Get on the gallery mailing list. 6. Avoid Faux Pas. Do not approach a gallery to sell your artwork, albeit work you own/have collected or art you have

made. Do not verbally insult the gallery or the work of an artist you know nothing about in the presence of said dealer/ artist. Do not touch. Do not forget to watch where you are walking. Do not leave empty glasses in the booths. 7. Discuss. Talk with other collectors, art advisors, and curators about artists that interest you. Investigate whether the artist sells at auction and at what price point. 8. Pause. It is okay to ask a gallery to put an item on hold while you take a break to decide if the piece is right for you. Be respectful of the time it is on hold. 9. Observe. If you see several diferent galleries carrying work by the same artists, be aware that it is a sign that the market is “hot” for that artist. Note who is NOT being shown anywhere as sign that the market may be cooling of for that artist. 10. Seek Help. Hire an experienced art advisor to walk the fair with you. He or she will have knowledge and access to the dealers at the fair. 11. Negotiate. There is usually movement in price for a work. Ofer 20% less with the goal of going 10% lower than the asking price. 12. BUY!! Acquire the very best that you can aford. Follow your heart and have fun with it! sl Anita Heriot is president of Pall Mall Advisors and a member of the Appraisers Association of America and is USPAP certifed.

SEE WORTHY Buddy Darby takes the long view as he transforms a 2,500-acre parcel on St. Kitts into Christophe Harbour Written by Bridget Williams

34 slmag.net

Sandy Bank Bay and Te Pavilion, a private beach club for owners and members.

In response to increasing connectivity that makes the great wide world seem ever smaller and the fact that it is hardly surprising to find the familiar Golden Arches in even the most remote locales, a palpable push has emerged among globetrotters seeking authenticity and a distinct sense of place. St. Kitts is one of those places. There is but one large chain hotel on the entirety of the 69-square-mile island, of which one-quarter is a designated a national park with rainforest that is bucking the trend elsewhere and actually expanding. For adventurers there is still plenty of of the beaten path exploring to do among the peaks and valleys, where you are more likely to encounter a vervet monkey or a mongoose than one of the island’s 32,000 human inhabitants. Te turquoise waters around the island beckon with pristine dive sites teeming with massive beds of coral and fsh in every color of the rainbow.

Superyacht owner Buddy Darby was quick to recognize the potential of this West Indies Island. “When I came down here I was intrigued by its physicality,” he explained as we talked over cocktails on the deck of Andromeda la Dea, his 154-foot Perini Navi sailing yacht. Responsible for developing both Kiawah Island in South Carolina and Doonbeg Golf Club in Ireland, his latest and arguably most ambitious project is Christophe Harbour, encompassing a 2,500-acre peninsula on the southeast corner of St. Kitts that includes six of the 11 main beaches on the island. “I’m the kind of person that has the vision to look at a raw landscape and see the fnished project,” said Darby, who added that he has the added beneft of executing his plan with team members who have worked under him for 20 years. slmag.net

Darby is a man who possesses an infectious level of joie de vivre along with unwavering optimism; he’s a “go big or go home” kind of guy. At a party he isn’t happy unless everyone is having the time of their lives, so it is not hard to share in his enthusiasm for the development, which he said will require a full two decades to build the 2,000 planned units. “Other than dancing on the head of a nuclear warhead I don’t know if there is anything else riskier that I could do,” he joked. Based on the successful template used for the development of Kiawah Island, the varied private residential neighborhoods and public buildings comprising Christophe Harbour have been carefully planned to tread lightly on the land and incorporate indigenous building materials and architectural infuences. Darby singled out SALT Plage, a bar and restaurant open to the public near the entrance to the development as an example. The physical structure was

36 slmag.net

constructed utilizing fragments from an old sugar mill on property. Te mix of corrugated metal, painted Tolix chairs, dramatic colored lighting, rope hammocks integrated into an overwater deck, and an international clientele combine to make the spot as hip as any one would fnd on the more developed neighboring islands. The rugged beauty of the area is quite striking. Bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea on the other, waves of verdant peaks rise steeply from sugar-sand beaches on both coasts. From the beaches situated at St. Kitts’ southernmost tip, one can gaze across the channel to nearby Nevis. It is in this secluded spot where a 135-room fve-star Park Hyatt hotel is currently under construction, out of the sightline of property owners, allowing residents and vacationers to dually enjoy an enviable feeling of exclusivity and seclusion.

On a recent visit we stayed in one of nine homes that comprise the Windswept Residence Club. A turnkey neighborhood, these expansive four-bedroom ensuite villas provide equity share purchase options starting at $450,000. Ocean and Great Salt Pond views are afforded from the second floor verandah and The Pavilion, a luxurious private beach club and social hub for owners and members, is a short walk away. Located in Sandy Bank Bay, the Pavilion ofers casually elegant dining and cocktails, complimentary access to watersport and tennis equipment and bicycles and ample shady and sunny areas for repose around the perimeter of a freeform oceanfront infnity-edge pool. A number of hiking trails winding up the peaks originate from the area, and it’s well worth the efort to take in the million dollar views from the top. A Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course is in the planning stages. On an exploratory run I ventured 450-feet above the Caribbean Sea to a plateau where a stake marked the frst tee box. Taking in the 360-degree views and knowing Fazio’s status as a top creator of highly rated courses around the world, I surmise that this course will be nothing short of spectacular. As a superyacht owner himself, Darby has his pulse on this exclusive community and what discerning seafarers are seeking. “Twenty years ago a ‘big’ boat was 90 feet. Today, there are 700 boats over 100-feet in length under construction,” he explained. Many of these vessels will invariably end up cruising the circuit

that includes Antigua, St. Maarten and St. Barths, as evidenced by the fact that a record 130 superyachts visited the region during the most recent winter cruising season. To capitalize on this lucrative market, this past February The Marina at Christophe Harbour debuted to great fanfare. Upon completion, this 300-acre, $100 million project will have 300 state-of-the-art berths, 60 of which will be able to accommodate vessels up to 300-feet in length. Modeled after a European seaside village, the completed complex will include a yacht club, concierge and hospitality services for owners along with a variety of housing units, shops and restaurants. Compared with it neighbors, at the moment, the diverse real estate options at Christophe Harbour present an incredible value for someone in the market for a Caribbean residence. Homesites range in price from $700,000 for a nearly half-acre hillside site with ocean views to $7.9 million for 1.3 oceanfront acres on Sandy Bank Bay. An investment of $400,000 or more makes the purchaser eligible for the Federation of St. Kitts Citizenship by Investment Program. “Life is about the acquisition of memories,” Darby said on stage prior to a performance by Darius Rucker to ofcially open Te Marina at Christophe Harbour. When they are collected in a location as special as St. Kitts they are certain to become some of the most treasured kind.

Grape Expectations: Five Grapes You Need to Try Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier

Panoramic view of Viña Santa Cruz in Colchagua Valley in the Chilean Central Valley. Photo by Elemaki.

Trying wines from grapes new to you is one of the many enjoyable things about wine. Many people are delighted to share such an exploration with their wine aficionado friends; after all, you may be only a sip away from your new favorite. A good example would be the grape Grüner Veltliner. I have shared numerous bottles with many friends, but having written and talked about the number one grape of Austria frequently, I thought I must recommend some other grapes. Many grapes could have been included here; in fact, it may be hard to believe that there are hundreds to choose from. Look in the lamentably titled area of wine lists or wine shop isles labeled “other wines” or seek them out hidden among the country of origins for more popular grapes. Tere’s certainly nothing wrong with the popular grapes, after all they became popular for a reason, but you will be rewarded by a new adventure, perhaps great value and excellent food afnity. Give these fve grapes a go. {WHITE} Torrontés | Torrontés is Argentina’s top planted white grape. A crossing of the Muscat family, Argentina is the only place where you see this grape produced, making it a true Argentinean specialty.

42 slmag.net

Originally believed to be from northwest Spain, it produces a fresh, rich, crisp and very aromatic wine. When you put your nose in a glass, the profusion of foral notes instantaneously makes you think of springtime. Try Torrontés as an excellent aperitif or with seafood. I believe the best area for Torrontés is Salta, the most northern area for grape growing in Argentina, producing twothirds white wine and specializing in Torrontés. Salta means “very beautiful” and is home to Bodega Colomé, owned by Hess. At 8,300 feet above sea level, it holds the distinction of being the world’s highest vineyard. Try: Torrontés Bodega Colome 2012. Vermintino | Te primary white grape of Sardinia is Vermintino. This grape lineage is Italian and is most known for being a Sardinian grape, but it is planted in Liguria under the synonym of Pigato and in Piedmont as Favorita. Vermintino is a delightfully linear citrus-mineral-driven white wine, typically un-oaked, and a perfect accompaniment for seafood. The finest example of Vermentino is produced in northern Sardinia in an area called Gallura. Vermentino di Gallura is hard to find but is a more bodied, richer and sometimes oaked-aged version. Te Sardinian’s enjoy drinking wine and eating the Mediterranean diet, which is

At 8,300 feet above sea level, Bodega Colomé is the world’s highest vineyard.

perhaps why they possess one of the world’s largest populations of centenarians. Try: Vermentino di Sadegna Argiolas Costamolino 2012. {RED} Carmenère | The name Carmenère originates from the French word for crimson as Carmenère, once thought to be Merlot in Chile, is actually an ancient Bordeaux varietal brought to Chile in the 1800s. It is all but extinct in France but thrives in Chile’s Colchagua Valley. Carmenère has soft tannins, deep red color, red and black fruit favors and an herbaceous character. Te latter is decreasing and becoming more balanced as winemakers allow the grape to ripen longer. Its qualities are similar to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and, of course Merlot, hence it is often blended with them. Try: Carmenere Cono Sur Bicicleta 2011. Aglianico | Te number one red grape in Campania is Aglianico, which is planted throughout southern Italy and reaches its zenith in Taurasi. Taurasi is both the name of the place as well as the wine. A wine of great body with black fruits, structure and ageability, Taurasi can be austere in its youth. Taurasi must be aged for three years, one of which must be in wood. To be labeled

Riserva, it is required to be aged one more year, with half of the additional time spent on wood. Two of the best producers are Mastroberardino and Terredora Di Paolo. Members of the Mastroberadino family own both wineries. The 1968 Taurasi Mastroberardino is considered one of the most legendary wines of the region. Other areas for good quality Campanian Aglianico are Irpinia and Taburno. Try: Taurasi Terredora Di Paolo 2008. Lambrusco | Yes, Lambrusco. Believe it or not there is quality Lambrusco produced. I am not referring to the bargain made and priced variety, but rather the small family winery version. The grape Lambrusco hails from the food epicenter of Italy, Emilia-Romagna. This can be an unusual wine. For example, many versions have what the Italians call frizzante, or are lightly effervescent and are extremely fruity if not with a hint of sweetness. Both of these characteristics make it a delightful accompaniment with a variety of foods, from spicy barbeque to the classic pairing of salty cured meats. Try: Lambrusco Sorbara Rose Fiorini Corte Attimi 2012. sl A Certifed Wine Educator, Harper is one of 140 professionals in North America and 220 worldwide who have earned the title Master Sommelier.

Curating a Lifestyle: Weathering Your Decor

In a world full of creative repurposing, p the transformation of industrial tools, equipment and salvaged architectural items to interior design has become almost commonplace. But, before upcycling was hip, Americana collectors were rescuing and repurposing all manner of antique utilitarian objects. Among the myriad of objects successfully transitioning from function to form, weather vanes are some of our most favorite. One of the earliest instruments of meteorology, weather vanes were critically important to alerting a community of changing weather patterns prior to the twentieth century. The earliest known weather vane was of the Greek god Triton, mounted atop the Tower of the Winds in Athens, Greece in roughly 48 B.C. Usually mounted on a central building in the center of town, a weather vane needed to be large, functional and sturdy enough to withstand life in the elements. Becoming a point of pride for a community, weather vanes eventually developed from a simple, fat banner style to three-dimensional representations of important cultural objects. The science of weather vanes is relatively simple: mounted on a pole and attached to the highest, unobstructed

point on a building, a free-spinning, aerodynamic object is created that will turn with the force of the wind to face the direction of oncoming air currents. Te shape of the objects is only signifcant to the function in so far as the front needs to be narrower than the back. Given the labor involved in making and mounting the vane, care was often taken to use quality, weather-resistant materials like iron, zinc and copper, with the most accomplished makers utilizing a combination of materials that maximized weight versus durability. Troughout early Europe, nobility and wealthy landowners often commissioned local blacksmiths to create vanes displaying their coats of arms from sheet ironâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;simultaneously identifying their property and providing workers the means to predict impending weather. In the center of town, the tallest building was usually the church and impressive weather vanes were constructed as a point of pride as well as faith. Referencing St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s denial of Jesus, large full-bodied and dimensional roosters adorned steeples across the countryside. In the frst days of America, weather vanes were among the various important tools imported from Europe. As our country

developed, local blacksmiths met the needs of farmers and towns in close proximity; but, by the mid-nineteenth century, factories dedicated to the manufacture of weathervanes had developed throughout New England. Patriotic themes emerged alongside sophisticated representations of animals and symbolic representations of industry and American spirit. Most common from the period are horses – either running, leaping or pulling a sulky. Well-developed steer, fsh, roosters and stags were also popular. Some of the most valuable examples today are the more rare, fgural vanes of the period - including the angel Gabriel, American Indians and Lady Liberty. As industrialization brought steam engines and eventually the automobile to everyday America in the latenineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, three-dimensional weather vanes of locomotives and cars were created. Although not as old, these examples are generally far more valuable than their eighteenth and nineteenth century counterparts– appealing to a wider variety of collectors. Te height of the folk art market in the early 2000s saw prices for the most unusual and well-developed weather vanes

exceeding $1 million. As news about their value circulated, historic vanes were removed from churches and barns throughout the northeast and sold to folk art dealers and their customers across the country. Today, attractive and early vanes can be purchased at auction for a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars. Form is less important than condition and surface. Original gold gilt fnish has nearly always worn off, but collectors covet a lovely green patina of weathered copper vanes. Adapting to nearly any decor, weather vanes may represent a collector’s passion (as in the quill weather vane pictured here, purchased at Garth’s for a former Presidential candidate and well-known author); or simply a fanciful interest. Interested in finding a weather vane to add to your collection? Seek well-known folk art dealers or auction firms and prepare to be patient. Although thousands of weather vanes were created, many succumbed to the elements and relatively few remain today. sl Amelia & Jef Jefers are co-owners of two fne art, antique and bespoke collectibles companies: Garth's of Delaware, Ohio and Selkirk of St. Louis, Missouri.

A 1924 Isotta Frashini Tipo 8A owned by Te Patterson Collection.

65th Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Te Patterson Collection of Louisville wins “Best of Show” for a second time. Written by Andre James Photos by Kimball Studios / Courtesy of Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Tere have been 65 Concours d’Elegance held on the famed 18th fairway of the Pebble Beach Golf Links on California’s Monterey Peninsula. Jim Patterson of Louisville, KY has won the coveted “Best of Show” award in two of those years, thereby establishing his Patterson Collection among the upper echelon of covetable private automobile collections in the world. A Concours veteran, Patterson’s frst win came in 2010 with a 1933 Delage D8S De Villars Roadster. His 2015 entry–a 1924 Isotta Frashini Tipo 8A– bested 220 other hopefuls, including a 1914 Rolls Royce, a 1937 Delahaye and a 1953 Abarth 1100. Only 950 examples of the Isotta Frashini Tipo 8A were produced between 1924-1931. Te winning example has the distinction of having been on display at the 1933 Geneva Motor Show and winning the Grand-Prix d’Honneur in Cannes in 1933. Carrosserie Worblaufen is credited with creating the vehicle’s sport cabriolet bodywork after the 46 slmag.net

company acquired it in 1931. Te car moved from France to Switzerland as it circulated among four previous owners before being shipped to North America in 2014. Asked what he loved most about the massive cabriolet, Patterson chose to focus on its small details. "I love the cigarette lighters," he said. "You should see them! I wondered a while ago if they worked, and I've got a blister on my fnger to show they do." Ferrari was the featured marque at the 2015 event, held on August 16 as the fnale of Monterey Motoring Week. Concours Chairman Sandra Button said plans to feature Ferrari were many years in the making. “It seems particularly appropriate to be showcasing this marquee now since a Ferrari earned our top award this past year,” she explained. Tat car, Jon Shirley’s 1954 Ferrari 375 MM Scaglietti Coupe, was the frst Ferrari to be named Best of Show at the event, as well as the frst postwar car to win in nearly 50 years.

A NON-GAMBLER’S GUIDE TO VEGAS A frst time visitor to Sin City takes a gamble and fnds ample excitement beyond the casino foor Written by Bridget Williams

I’m a late joiner to the party that has been carrying on for decades in Las Vegas. For most of my adult life I pooh-poohed the destination, eschewing its unnaturally green and glittery garish façade in the middle of a desert. By no means a teetotaler, I’d never taken a shine to gambling, so I never took the time to see what else the city ofered. Deciding to take part in one of the 20,000-plus conventions held there annually provided the perfect opportunity to see if I could amply occupy a long weekend.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO HOME Written by Amelia Jefers Photography by Dale Clark and Rodney Middendorf

Some people hire an interior designer to... design the interior of a home. And, some hire an architect to… create the plans for a home. A builder? You get the drift. But when Susie and Bob Liebert put together their “dream team” of interior designer, architect and builder, they never planned to hire, direct and wait. Te Lieberts dreamed of a synergistic effort to build the home of their dreams on a scenic lot overlooking the Scioto River. Happening upon the property more than a decade ago while walking her dog, Susie had a vision to capitalize on the spectacular views. She pictured a home where children, grandchildren, extended family and friends would linger comfortably and luxuriously.

A home that may not feel quite at home in Columbus, Ohio but would feel quite like home to all who enter. Turning frst to noted interior designer, Pamela Stavrof, Su s i e s o u g h t t o a s s e m b l e t h e p e r f e c t c o m b i n a t i o n o f professionals to help execute the vision. Susie and her husband, Bob had worked with Pamela on three other projects, including their Arlington residence and two vacation homes. “By the time Susie contacted me about the lot on Scioto Estates,” says Stavrof, “she had developed a knowledge and passion for design.” With Pamela’s guidance, the Lieberts selected acclaimed architect Brian Kent Jones and prominent custom builder Kevin Knight to round out the talented and capable team..

“From the very beginning, the work with Susie was a total collaboration. She had such a complete vision for the project. Our early meetings produced drawings that Susie authored herself,” says Jones. “She became a student of [minimalist interior and furniture designer] Christian Liaigre and challenged Pam, Kevin and me to ascend to a diferent level of interior architecture than any of us had been involved in previously.” For nearly two years, the group worked closely together reviewing hundreds of photographs, diving into dozens of design books and traveling to major design centers around the country to examine materials frsthand. Meticulous attention was given to every detail. Visitors to the home are given a hint to the craftsmanship throughout the home when greeted by a massive solid mahogany front door, outftted with cast bronze door hardware (handmade by Italian artisan, Lorenzo Cassina). Exterior light fxtures adorning the stone facade were selected by Susie, with additional lighting around the outside of the home designed by Stavrof and custom made by a California company. But, the quintessential Arlington aesthetic belies the dramatic interiors. “I like homes that are happy surprises,” smiles builder, Kevin Knight. “Walking up to the Lieberts’ front door, you would never expect that interior.” The interior Knight references is a wonderful blend of edgy industrial and antique chalet - on a grand proportion. Te 68 slmag.net

vaulted great room is anchored by massive windows overlooking the stunning, sloped rear grounds and river. Overhead, colossal steel trusses transcend a strictly structural function and combine with a reclaimed Oak ceiling in a Jacobean fnish to provide warmth and scale to a room that could feel cavernous. Comfortable seating areas surround a huge limestone freplace. Susie found the large antique dining table in Telluride; it was once used in a monastery. A few steps up to the kitchen reveal a generous, but efficient allocation of space. A table for two by the window is conveniently located in front of a beautiful armoire, with a neatly appointed Meile coffee and tea station hidden inside. Sleek, premium cabinetry was sourced from German kitchen professionals, Bulthaup. The expansive island serves Susie’s penchant for entertaining a crowd, and cupboards below serve the grandchildrens’ proclivity for hiding treasures within easy reach. Honed limestone, exposed wood beams, a deep, rich palette and hand cut glass and stone tiles provide a sophisticated backdrop for center of their large family gatherings. Nearby, a cozy freplace with matching wing chairs is ofset by just one of the many carefully selected works of art. An exquisite caterer’s pantry joins the kitchen to the adjacent formal dining room. Troughout the open foor plan, dramatic lighting showcases each architectural element.

Rich hues and textures give the large space a warm and comfortable vibe. Photo by Rodney Middendorf.

“Adding details to an interior is like making soup,” says Knight, “care must be taken when seasoning it. Tose industrial elements? They are authentic - purposeful. So, when we show them of, it isn’t a distraction at all.” Steps away from the bustling kitchen area, Susie’s ofce is a serene retreat. With a wall and door of steel and glass, she remains connected to the activity of the house, with privacy and quiet for more focused activities. “Tis is a really special room,” Susie shares. “It was built for a close group of friends - my book club. We have gathered around that window for some of the toughest and best times of our life. It means the world to me.” A staircase in the back of the house leads to the walk-out entertainment area below. Again with the details: “Each tread was distressed,” describes Stavrof. “Every efort was made to make this 74 slmag.net

home feel as if it had been there forever. It is hard to describe the level of attention given to every aspect.” Brick archways cascade down to the recreation room complete with a state-of-the-art audio-visual system, a pool table and bar. Around the corner is the ftness area and a bath more suited to a spa than a home residence - including a steam shower and sauna. Rounding out the area? A large stone-lined wine cellar and tasting room. Twelve years after their first meeting, I asked Susie, Pamela, Kevin and Brian - the four talented minds behind this exquisite property - to describe the project. Teir comments each echoed one another: wonderful synergy, incredible collaboration, inspired design. Perhaps Brian Kent Jones said it best, “it was an uncommon opportunity that built a great house and a lasting friendship.”. sl

COLUMBUS’ OWN PATRIARCHS OF PASTA Written by Shawnie Kelley Photography by James Henthorn Columbus. In a city named for an Italian explorer, one might hope to discover a sublime plate of pasta or encounter an adventurous take on favorites from around the boot. Look no further than one of the city’s best restaurants, Z. Cucina di Spirito in Grandview for its “new Italian cuisine”. While 2015 marks Z. Cucina’s ten-year anniversary with celebratory events scheduled for this fall, more recent accolades are reason to pop the bubbly a little early. Earning the top spot as the number one restaurant in Columbus on TripAdvisor is no small feat, but this is exactly what Z. Cucina has accomplished. Owner, Rick Ziliak graciously acknowledges this badge of honor, while emphasizing his commitment to maintain the same level of quality that allowed “Z” (as it is locally dubbed) to rise above nearly 1,900 other area restaurants. “Our goal from the beginning has been to make guests feel comfortable,” says Ziliak. His deep-rooted hospitality is apparent in all aspects of the restaurant- from its welcoming modern vibe to the proprietor’s chatty demeanor and constant visibility. Likewise, the seasonal, chef-driven menu strikes a friendly balance between classic and modern Mediterranean dishes, with an emphasis on Italian cuisine. Traditional fritto misto, lasagna Bolognese, and other Italian classics are featured alongside a section of moderne oferings. Executive Chef Jamie George is given the freedom and creativity to utilize ingredients not commonly associated with Italian cooking- like sweetbreads or short ribsbringing a nouveau twist with a local fair. Much of the kitchen’s produce is sourced from quality central Ohio growers, such as Folsom and Pine, Wayward Seed, and Toad Hill Farms.

Everything at Z. arrives beautifully plated, like this Prosciutto Wrapped Local Veal Loin with Chilled House Mozzarella Ravioli & Tomato Basil Salsa Crudo

Since opening in 2005, Z. Cucina has earned an impressive reputation as a “made from scratch” restaurant. Fresh pasta ranging from ravioli to gnocchi is made on a daily basis, while housemade salumi and sausage are found on charcuterie small plates or incorporated into main dishes. The cheese is also churned out by hand, including homemade ricotta for the tortelloni, buttery burrata, mozzarella, and feta for other Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Te Insalata di Spinaci and Lasagna Bolognese are the classic standouts. If scratch pasta and cheese isn’t enough, all of Z’s bread and desserts are made in-house. Whether sipping homemade limoncello liqueur, shoveling down the handcrafted gelato, or going straight for the tiramisu and butterscotch panna cotta, your sweet tooth is sure to be indulged. Although many of the dishes change seasonally, these tried and true dessert items have been on the menu since day one. When asked what led Rick Ziliak to the restaurant world, he reminisced about his formative years with his brothers, daydreaming about turning their childhood home into a restaurant that served momma’s home cooking. But he also noted that the foray into food came after his frst career incarnation as 78 slmag.net

a drummer touring with a band. When the musician-turnedrestaurateur stepped into the restaurant business, he was no stranger to the hospitality industry, as his older brother, Don might well be Columbus’ own Patriarch of Pasta. Don Ziliak and his wife, Carolyn, opened Pastaria at the North Market in 1993, followed by Pastaria Secunda in 1998 and Sarefno’s Pizzeria and Italian Deli in 1995, forming a triumvirate of Italian eateries that have withstood the test of time and changes in the Short North. It’s no surprise that Don has come to be known as the “Godfather of the North Market.” Pastaria, Ziliak’s fagship store, is the go-to place when a craving strikes for homemade pasta and sauce. Carry out premade dishes like chicken Parmesan or three-cheese lasagna and your dinner will be as if nonna made it. Pastaria Secunda, a purveyor of Italian groceries and specialty items, is that market stall where shoppers stand with nose pressed against the counter, faced with an impossible task of deciding which colorful ravioli or heaps of fresh pasta to order. Or just have a wander around the market with a slice of New York style pizza pie from the family’s third location, Sarefno’s.

Te Bloody Mary at Due Amici doubles as an appetizer!

In the spirit of forging new business in the burgeoning Gay Street corridor, Don Ziliak opened the appropriately named Due Amici, which translates to “two friends,” with business partner Jef Mathes on New Year’s Eve, 2003. Te menu showcases the diversity of Italy’s cuisine, as Chef Michael Fairchild brings innovation and modernity to Italian classics. The historic building’s brick-walled cocktail bar combines with the restaurant’s lively atmosphere to give Due Amici a distinctly “big city” feel. Brunch, live jazz, dining al fresco on the patio, and an extensive wine list boasting a wide selection from Italy and beyond adds another level of appeal to this already chic restaurant. Twelve years later, it remains one of the anchor restaurants in this downtown neighborhood. Longevity certainly runs in the family, and with plans for more restaurants, the odyssey continues for Columbus’ patriarchs of pasta. sl
