> We began this publishing venture pledging to follow our intuition in leading us along. Now, after eight years and two and a half million copies later our readers continue to make us aware that we must be doing something right! Our November 2011 issue is another good example of the uncompromised quality our magazine presents to all our loyal followers here in our great city as well as from areas outside greater Orlando where our distribution continues to grow.

In continuing to ‘raise the bar’ in journalistic reporting, we spare no expense in locating the greatest talents in fashion photography, writing and design. Our recent journey to Poland uncovered another ‘pearl’ as we unveil the wonderful photographic talents of Maciej Boryna…don’t try pronouncing this one, instead, you be the judge of his talent…we think he’s terrific!

porting has met with your acceptance. Over the years ‘Style’ has periodically continued to grow our business by offering a series of on-line publications, the details of which can be found on our website. Check them out and let’s have your comments letting us know what you think.

Our accomplishments are a result of the efforts of many, beginning with the loyalty of you, our readers, followed by our terrific advertisers who make it all possible. Then there are plenty of unsung heroes to also thank, like our amazingly dedicated staff, our talented contributors and our faithful vendors. I become emotional each year at this time when I stop to realize how grateful I am to all those connected with our publication. Thanks for making Orlando Style the most successful and beloved magazine in the city.

We wish each of you a most heartwarming Thanksgiving… <

This issue also features the latest trends in those spectacular Florida weddings as well as our press trip to Elkhart Lake, a beautiful year round vacation community in the state of Wisconsin, where we enjoyed some creative outdoor activities and fell in love with a baby calf trying to find its Mama! (See the picture with me and my new pal posing for the camera!)

Closer to home, it seems that during this past year everyone ‘kicked it up a notch’ with all the events which took place.

The story continues and we hope to see you at the amazing Concours d’Elegance …watch for our email invite, which will get you into the loop!

As we wrap up another anniversary with our November issue, we continue relying on those elements which got us here eight years ago and I feel fortunate that our openness in re-

Siebkens Resort

Travel ‘N Style

> If you’re looking for a lakefront setting for all seasons, planning a romantic getaway or family vacation, conducting conferences or business meetings or wishing to experience a memorable marriage ceremony celebration, this place provides the perfect setting.

The Village of Elkhart Lake is pristine, beautiful and charming destination on the shores of a crystal-clear lake located in the heart of Wisconsin’s Kettle Moraine State Forest.

Situated about an hour’s ride north of Milwaukee and two hours from the state capitol in Madison, the Village of Elkhart Lake is a year round oasis not to be ignored.

This approximate 300 acre, 120’ deep natural spring-fed lake, about a mile wide is basically surrounded by three fabulous resorts and numerous other ancillary lodging and entertainment venues, certain to satisfy the wants and desires of all visitors, regardless of age or persuasion. Air Tran Airways offers non-stop service from Orlando (MCO) to Milwaukee (MKE)… the flight takes approximately 2 ¾ hours and can be upgraded for an additional nominal fee.

Our visit began with a walking tour of each of the three primary resort properties.

These tours were all encompassing and each required approximately one hour so that all elements of the facilities were reviewed, giving us insight into both the history of the resort as well as the features each provide. Although too numerous to detail, we were introduced to the dining, recreational and Spa facilities as well as the room and condominium accommodations.

Victorian Village Resort

The Osthoff Resort, originally constructed in 1885, was completely rebuilt in 1995 and quickly established itself among the top echelon of luxurious properties. By keeping with the original styling and preserving its rich history, guests can enjoy the spirit of days-gone-by with the modern convenience and luxury of a AAA Four Diamond hotel. The Osthoff Resort is also home to ‘Aspira Spa’ that offers personal services and amenities in a self-contained, luxurious private suite (‘Spa Suite’) environment. The Osthoff also boasts the French cuisine culinary school, ‘L’ecole de la Maison’, offering individual and group cooking lessons as well as two fantastic dining experiences... “Otto’s,” and “Lola’s

on the Lake.” Whatever your pleasure,The Osthoff Resort will cater to your every whim and is “Picture Perfect.” www.osthoff.com Although we enjoyed the warmth of summer, there are many scheduled activities, which begin in late October and continue throughout the winter months. Perhaps too late for the ‘Harvest Moon Ball’ dancing to the ‘Big Band’ sounds in late October, but early December celebrates the “Old World Christmas Market” featuring German inspired delicacies, music, children’s holiday workshops making ornaments and singing carols while participating in a horse-drawn hay wagon ride thru the Village. Christmas Eve festivities follow on December 24 culminating in a fabulous Christmas Day Buffet or celebrate bringing in the New Year at ‘Lola’s on the Lake’ December 31.

Need more? Plan on coming for the Latin inspired “Fire on Ice” dance weekend beginning January 6, 2012 where you can enjoy two evenings of superb Latin culinary fare and dance instruction while partying the nights away dancing the tango!

The Siebkens Resort is a landmark, turnof-the-century resort purchased in 1916

by Laura and Herman Siebken. Currently owned and operated by the fourth generation of the Siebkens family, guests will find relaxed surroundings abundant with antiques. The Siebkens Resort with its beautiful landscaping and sandy beach features one, two and three bedroom condominiums, all with full kitchens thereby offering amenities allowing for more of a family style experience. When in-house dining is not the order of the day the ‘Main Dining Room’ offers traditional Siebkens family recipes to go along with its lovely ambiance. A visit to the ‘Stop Inn Tavern’ touted the “best bar in the racing circuit,” might provide a pre-dinner aperitif or an evening pre-retirement nightcap…or both! www.siebkens.com Finally the fully renovated, Victorian Village Resort with its 49 rooms comprising the Victorian Inn and 12 condominiums in the Lakeside Suites, completes the accommodations offering full service treatment. This 11-acre oasis offers indoor and outdoor pools, a theatre performing musicals and live entertainment to be enjoyed by all. The relaxed lakeside ‘Back

“Two Hearts are One”

Porch Bistro’ is notable for its delicious cuisine and the ‘Barefoot Bay Tiki Bar’ is the perfect spot to lay back and sip a cocktail listening to live music, while grand vistas of 600 ft. of sandy beachfront warmly welcome you to Elkhart Lake. www.vicvill.com A few bits of interesting history:

During the summer months beginning in 1908, to add some spice to their lives, hotel operators, realizing that the state left law enforcement up to the local officials, brought in slot machines and gambling became openly active. This source of entertainment survived for the next 20+ years when police raids became a nuisance and by 1945 most illegal gambling establishments were shut down.

Then in 1952 with Elkhart Lake teetering economically, local business leaders formed a coalition of volunteers supported by the Governor, to organize road racing on a 6.5mile periphery around the lake. Normally held on Sunday afternoons, the races were attended by upwards of 50,000. Later that year three races were conducted on Saturdays and Sundays containing a total of 238 cars. Over 100,000 spectators attended these races. Talk about Elkhart Lake getting ‘Back on Track’!

Some of the activities we tried:

Neither of us had ever been fly-fishing and I wasn’t about to attempt it but good old Sven decided to give it a go! He was picked up and taken to the private and secluded waters of the Kohler River Wildlife area in the beautiful Kettle Moraine in Sheboygan County. Given some expert instruction and donning a pair of waders (insulated and

styletome.com

Lola’s on the Lake

water resistant overalls with rubberized boot feet), Sven ventured out into the cool waters to try his luck. The beauty of this is that all the trout and smallmouth bass one catches are trimmed, dressed and filleted and ready for either grilling or that famous and traditional “Friday Night Fish Fry” at area restaurants and pubs. (Be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, camera and rain gear) www.tie1onguideservice.com As he was leaving the water Sven heard some “mooing” coming from the nearby bushes. Being a curious sort he discovered a baby calf, all alone, apparently separated from its mother. Being so close to the road and afraid he might be injured or killed, Sven picked up this little guy (all 90 lbs. of him) and carried him back to the farm about 500 yards away. We were assured the calf would grow up to a life of happiness as a stud. (I’m certain that Sven, the animal lover would have brought the calf home otherwise!)

The untouched photo that we titled “Two hearts are one” is priceless.

We found this little place called “Two Fish Gallery” tucked away in a colorful, early 20th century mission style bungalow on Rhine Street surrounded by a magical garden with whimsical works of art displayed throughout the lovely grounds. Sven and I tried our hand in a “pottery class” taught by owner/artist Patrick Robison. As Sven excelled creating a few beautiful works of art, I on the other hand was still trying to get the bubbles out of the clay! Artist Patrick Robison patiently guided me and amazingly the wet ball of clay slowly transformed itself into a… well OK, a lopsided piece of art.

Nevertheless, it’s exciting to see the simplicity of fashioning a lovely piece of art using some basic and rudimentary tools not gen-

L’ecole de la Maison

erally considered when viewing the finished product. This was certainly a worthwhile endeavor and also a lot of fun. The Two Fish Gallery & Sculpture Garden features fine art and crafts by regional and national artists. Showcasing special exhibitions and classes, the gallery and gardens are open year-round.

I purchased this beautiful “bird house” created by Patrick’s lovely wife Karen, to put on my Christmas tree.

For more information please visit: www.twofishgallery.net Next we took a relaxing pontoon boat tour aboard the ‘Elkhart Queen’ a 30-passenger vessel operating between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Our captain and tour guide expertly offered his knowledge of the history and legendary stories that the lake possesses in an approximate one-hour ride along the shore, viewing many of the magnificent homes and breathtaking natural surroundings visible from the water. Those wishing for a bit more privacy may rent the boat by the hour or can plan a great party with family and friends.

We had to see how that famous Wisconsin cheese is made so we toured the last cheese factory in the U.S. that produces the larger wheels of cheese, some weighing up to 12,000 lbs.

Henning’s Wisconsin Cheese is a fourth generation family owned and operated cheese factory based in rural Kiel,Wisconsin that features an on-site cheese store and museum. Over the years, Henning’s Wisconsin Cheese has received many national and international awards thanks to

Master Cheesemaker Kerry Henning whom handcrafts Henning’s Cheese. “Let it be said that it’s no easy feat to graduate as a ‘Master Cheesemaker’” says Kert, Kerry’s brother, whom eloquently explained all the nuances of cheese making. “You won’t buy a half pound of sliced American but will be offered tastings of the many award winning Cheddar and Colby cheeses produced in flavors ranging from basic Cheddar and Colby, to fruity concoctions containing blueberries, cinnamon apple, mango, cherry and cranberry.”

some great golfing exercise along with the enjoyment of small town hospitality.Although we didn’t partake in playing a round, we did enjoy the magnificent views set in the rolling hills of the Northern Kettle Moraine… and…remember those ‘waders’ Sven wore earlier when he flunked Fly Fishing 101?

Well, despite all of this, the restaurant here at the golf club still succeeded in putting out one fantastic ‘Friday Night Fish Fry’ for all of us!

I can still remember the amazing, bold and salty taste of the 6 Year Extra Sharp Cheddar Gem, the peppery and slightly spicy Peppercorn Heritage Cheddar, and the mind blowing Mango Fire Heritage Cheddar made up of white cheddar cheese mixed with mango and habanero - WOW!

We also had the opportunity to spin a few laps around ‘America’s National Park of Speed,’ a scenic 4-mile, 14 turn track.

Although the village no longer permits open road racing which was banned in 1955, this “Road America” facility, located on 640 acres has become one of the country’s premier racing venues attracting 700,000 visitors a year from every corner of the world. Economic impact studies show that $70 million dollars are generated annually.

Road America is a great place to hold ‘group events’ offering high-speed excitement and trackside fanfare. Adventure programs offer unique, year-round options for corporate entertaining, meetings and team building.

We were also impressed that with all the cheese being processed, we did not sense anything in the way of an offensive odor.

As with any company using milk or dairy in the manufacture of their products, strict governmental control thru inspections are frequently conducted by the Food and Drug Administration to ensure quality, purity, freshness and above all, sanitation compliance. I would have to add that the Henning’s Wisconsin Cheese factory & museum was impeccably clean above and beyond the strict guidelines.

Small local family dairy farmers continue to provide Henning’s cheese with a source of quality milk from pasture fed cows, and Henning’s still uses highest quality of natural ingredients since 1914. www.henningscheese.com For the ‘duffers’ in the crowd, the Quit Qui Oc Golf Club, with its 27 hole layout offers

www.roadamerica.com I could never consider a visit complete without a bit of pampering and the ‘Aspira Spa’ fit the bill nicely. Situated in the Osthoff Resort, this full-service spa embodies the ancient philosophy of feng shui and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Aspira, meaning “infused with spirit” is a 20,000 Sq. Ft. of pure bliss! There are no hard and sharp corners within the spa walls, as it was built for ‘positive energy’ to flow freely around you using the ancient healing wisdom and teachings of indigenous

peoples from around the world. Its organic and holistic approach offers wonderfully unique treatments using organic lotions, balms and skin-enhancing cosmetics, along with a selection of chic apparel. Aspira Spa also provides yoga and a serene meditation sanctuary. The spa itself is worth a trip to Elkhart Lake to rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit.

Overnight Aspira Spa packages are available.

To reserve your spa experience or for more information visit: www.aspiraspa.com Shopping, shopping and more shopping…

The collection comprising Village Square includes shops featuring Scandinavian art and collectibles, antiques, fine teas, gifts, local wines and snacks, flowers, jewelry and there’s even a consignment shop carrying some interesting and unique art objects, collectibles, furniture and accessories.

Thinking about prepping your own meal?

Check out the full service grocery store selling fresh cut meats and produce.

Dining out was also wonderful and we favored ‘Lola’s on the Lake’ situated in the Osthoff Resort. We enjoyed an elegant dinner, sipped fine red wine and took in the beautiful views of Elkhart Lake. The eclectic menu created by the award-winning culinary team, extensive wine choices, and the resort’s natural beauty and ambiance created an exceptional dining experience.

Our farewell Wine Pairing Dinner, paired perfectly and was delectable at the ‘Lake Street Café.’ Winner of Wine Spectator Award of Excellence 2003-2010, hosted by owners John and Lynn Shovan was a nice finale’ to a wonderful and relaxing few days at Elkhart Lake. www.lakestreetcafe.com <

Travel ‘N Style Southern Basil Strawberry Smash

Berry Ron-Devous

Southern Basil Strawberry Smash

Mixing it Up at the Omni By: Jennifer Marcus Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> Just a hop, skip and jump away from Disney World and sitting at the entrance of Champions Gate lies the Omni Orlando Resort, a 720-room hotel with a 36-hole championship golf course and just about all the bells and whistles you could hope for.

Whether you are vacationing with your family, spending a romantic night away from Tampa or Orlando with your loved one, or just want a fun weekend with friends, the Omni Resort might just be the perfect place to stay.

There’s so much to do at the resort, you might not even want to take the free shuttle ride over to check out all the parks and attractions.The top-notch restaurants located right in the hotel will keep your stomach beyond satisfied, especially if you try the Chinese-style spare ribs at the pan-Asian restaurant Zen, or the Short Rib Ossobuco at the upscale sports bar David’s Club. Craving some Italian? Then try Trevi’s and start off with the Capesante, a seared scallops dish with Boursin cheese polenta and a warm truffle scented tomato relish and lemon oil.

Want a side dish of fun? Then head to the 15 acres of pools and activity areas or relax with a cocktail in hand in the 850-foot lazy river. And with the Omni Hotels and Resorts launching their new “Homegrown” cocktails menu, choosing which drink to order will be the hardest decision of your vacation.

The Four Diamond hotel continues to push the creativity boundaries and has

styletome.com

tapped the talents of five award-winning mixologists to create an ingenious drink menu with a regional twist. These “Homegrown” cocktails are one of a kind to Omni Resorts across America and each resort features drinks based specifically on local trends, authentic local flavors and fresh indigenous ingredients.

The first drink that will tantalize your taste buds is the Southern Basil Smash, which starts with the muddling of fresh strawberries and basil leaves. Woodford Reserve, Cointreau, Dry Sack Sherry, pure cane sugar and fresh lemon juice are then added to the base and shaken with ice to complete this sweet take on a mojito. Looking for something with a little more kick? Try the Highland Pepper drink, which is a combination of a muddled jalapeno, a dash of celery bitters, Patron Silver, fresh squeezed Florida Grapefruit juice and fresh lime juice. Don’t get too nervous at the sound of a jalapeno in your drink! The agave nectar adds a bit of sweetness and cuts the kick, just a bit.

The third creation is the Berry Ron-dezvous, a mix of muddled blackberries and raspberries with a combination of Bacardi Superior, Grand Marnier, pure cane syrup and a splash of fresh lemon juice.

Salivating yet?

The most unique and interesting newest cocktail is the New Age Julep, which is a must order. The muddled mint leaves are added to Absolut Vodka, Plymouth Gin, honey sweetener, and fresh lemon juice and is

then topped with sweet orange foam, which is the part that will have you “oohing” and “ahhing.” The foam topping is a combination of orange juice, pure cane syrup, and organic pasteurized egg whites, whipped to create the perfect balance of minty and fresh. You will kiss your bartender after this one.

Omni Orlando has knocked the ball out of the park, or should we say off the course, on this fresh take on the typical bar menu.

These refreshing creations are even more unique when you find out that all of the herbs come directly from the on-site herb and spice garden.

You will never believe that you are just minutes away from the Orlando attractions, yet worlds away from all the distractions. And the Omni isn’t just for couples and families traveling from far and wide. It’s the perfect escape for those that might be down the road in Orlando or just an hour or two away in Tampa, St. Petersburg or Clearwater.

Why spend money on plane tickets or on high gas prices, when luxury, pure joy, and fun for the family is right near you? This hotel offers the convenience factor but also allows you to unwind. You will enjoy the 1,200 acres of wetlands, hills and orange groves and enjoy the evening night without all the bright lights and noise of the parks.

The Omni Orlando at Champions Gate offers the perfect getaway to the theme-park capital of the world, with the peaceful and serene feeling of a real, relaxing, and delicious vacation. <

Grab a quick snack and a stroll. Enjoy dinner for two or for 20. Mingle over cocktails.

See that band you love, live in concert. Catch the latest movie in state-of-the-art glory.

Then dance the night away. You can do it all in one night, and you can do it all in one place Universal CityWalk®, Orlando’s hottest spot for entertainment.

Festivals of Speed Jet Port Reception - Photo by Brion Price

In Case You Missed It Style Events, News & Gossip from around the city

By: Talitha Vickers Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> Fall not only marks a change in season but a transformation in fashion, art and events. By now your flip flops should be tucked away to make room for fashionable shoes and boots ready to step into fashion forward events, treats, eats and thrills around Central Florida.

Every year Universal Studios proves why they are all things Halloween. I had the honor of meeting one of the creative designers for the theme park’s annual Halloween Horror Nights and if you think this year was a showstopper…wait until 2012! In case you missed it, on September 23rd, famous killer icons crept and slashed their way into Central Florida, filling a maze of eight haunted houses and live shows. Lady Luck encouraged thrill seekers to take a gamble inside the world of haunted houses set

back in time to reflect the roaring 20’s with gangsters and ghouls of the night. Heart racing, nail biting, screaming adventures typically aren’t my cup of tea but the twists and turns of this five week tradition, proved a success as thousands of fear enthusiasts from around the globe packed Universal Studios.

Thrill seekers of the air, land and water were in attendance for the annual Luxury Lifestyle Jet Port Reception marking the first of many events lined up for the Festival of Speed October 7th-9th.

Vintage and contemporary aircrafts were on display with exotic cars typically seen on the silver screen. High performance custom motorcycles, cars, boats and planes were set inside an aircraft hangar which for many

City News

was the ultimate chest of toys for “big kid” high rollers who enjoy the luxury lifestyle.

The evening included delectable cuisine alongside exotic vehicles with an open bar and a live and a silent auction to benefit Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children.

Although the 6th Annual Festival of Speed at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grand Lakes was a wash out due to the rain that lingered over Central Florida during the three-day event, it has been rescheduled for November 13th so mark your calendar!

New to the Central Florida circuit is Food & Wine Weekends at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. This year, there’s been even more to savor as Waldorf Astoria Orlando presented Food & Wine Weekends, Sept. 30 – Oct. 30, 2011. We joined in to celebrate fine wine and the culinary arts, including Grand Pairings wine dinners at the famed Bull & Bear restaurant. Wine connoisseurs were also on hand to walk guest through the pairing of flavors to match the most delightful cuisine. A portion of the proceeds for the Grand Pairings event benefited the Bridges of Light Foundation. To top it off each guest was treated to a gift bag filled with gift certificates for dinner and spa treatments, golf discounts and specialty one of a kind chocolates made by the Waldorf Astoria pastry team…Yummy!

One man that knows exactly how to satisfy any craving is internationally acclaimed Chef Roy Yamaguchi. In celebration of Roy’s 10 year anniversary in Orlando, this legendary Chef and Roy’s Restaurants Founder / owner joined Roy’s Orlando Executive Chef Mac Lynch and his talented Executive Chefs from Roy’s Tampa, Roy’s Sarasota and Roy’s Jacksonville. This celebratory 5-course dinner, paired with wine by Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars was out of this world.Their Hawaiian fusion expertise on October 10th was a true reflection of the unique quality found at each individual Roy’s Restaurant. From the Olive Oil Poached Octopus Salad to the Trio of Crab Tortellini, Peppercorn Crusted Ahi Tuna, Autumn Spiced Pork Shank and Chocolate Beignets…every course had a distinct taste that was as good as it looked.

Looking good is a must during fashion week and if you missed out on the new fall trends showcased during Park Ave. Fashion Week in Winter Park then make sure you become a Facebook fan of Orlando Styles

page. There you will get a glimpse of various fashion shows, trunk shows and VIP events that took place October 9th-15th.

Circa 1926 Restaurant featured a private showcase of couture designs by Legacy Style which was produced and hosted by yours truly, Talitha Vickers. The dueling runway show was the highlight of the storyboard whimsical evening where guests were delighted by up and coming designers Jasion Radcliff and Andrew Brown’s creations.

The night began with a cocktail hour that featured sketches of couture gowns. The artwork came to life during the fashion show as diverse models from around the globe were flown into Central Florida to embody global couture. Models literally returned to the drawing board as they posed as living art as framed canvases after dessert. Guests enjoyed smoking cocktails, over 40 appetizers by Executive Chef Jason Jessmore, a dueling couture runway show by Legacy Style and an overflowing Champagne / dessert room before featuring a live charity auction sponsored by Vitamin Water Zero, Ferrari Maserati of Central Florida and Opici and locally made GT Vodka to name a few.

Not to be outdone, Luma put on a fashion show display with Orlando native designer Joy Cioci. Cioci recently debuted her second collection during New York Fashion week. Luma, known for being the hot spot on Thursday evenings lit Winter Park on fire with their 2nd Annual “Fashion Fete” VIP event on October 13th. The event produced by Jane Layne Events previewed Fall /Winter runway-worthy designs from Cioci’s collection styled by Tammara Kohler of Fused Fashion. The look of the evening was modern cinema as the 40’s girl was splashed with a fashion forward contemporary 2011/2012 look. Orlando Style and Peroni sponsored the event where donations helped benefit The American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women Movement. Many guests wore hip chic hues of red in support of the cause. Guests were treated to an array of passed hors d’oeuvres and complimentary Van Gogh Crystal Apple Martini’s and Peroni Beer.

The final highlight was the traditional tented runway show on Central Park’s West Meadow in Downtown Winter Park.

Runway show on October 15th featured an opening performance by the Orlando Ballet that kept everyone on their toes in anticipation of the fall trends. The celebration of local fashion boutiques and the design community had a refreshing vibe and synergy at the hands of creative director Anna Nash. Models were elegant, trendy and chic as they represented the essence of classic Winter Park designs for the 5th annual runway show.

Last but certainly not least, a one of a kind food and beverage extravaganza was held October 22 in Winter Park’s Central ParkWest Meadow. The Cows ‘N Cabs inaugural culinary fundraiser was hosted by Food Network’s Adam Gertler host of the” Kid in a Candy Store” television show. The westernthemed event featured a live auction, entertainment and a band with proceeds benefiting the Coalition for the Homeless, Community Outreach and the YMCA of Central Florida. Guests participated in wine and craft beer tastings and gourmet delights from 4 Rivers Smokehouse and 4 Rivers Sweet Shop, Luma on Park, K Restaurant, The Ravenous Pig, Citrus Restaurant, Sweet Traditions, Meat House Grocer, Cocina 214, Cress Restaurant and Pizzeria Valdiano.

Luxury

Hotel Brands Continue to Land in Orlando By: Gary C. Sain President and CEO, Visit Orlando

Read more at: StyleToMe.com Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort

> Earlier this year, we announced that a record of more than 51.4 million visitors traveled to Orlando during 2010. Among these travelers — vacationing families and convention attendees — there is a growing segment of those seeking luxury brands during their stay. Whether an upscale hotel, exclusive shopping or a four-star restaurant, higher-end options and venues are being demanded by guests who want to experience the very best. Or for our purposes, locals looking for a special place to escape and be pampered.

Luckily for us, Orlando has landed some big names in the realm of mid-sized elite hotels during the past several years. Most recently, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts announced it will construct a $360-million property at the Walt Disney World Resort.

The 444-room Four Seasons Orlando Re-

Gary Sain

styletome.com

sort will offer numerous dining experiences, a 14,000-square-foot spa, nearly 38,000square-feet of meeting space and will encompass the existing Tom Fazio-designed Osprey Ridge 18-hole championship golf course. The resort is anticipated to open in mid-to-late 2014, so you have plenty of time to make reservations for a weekend getaway.

Of course, the Four Seasons will join a portfolio of established luxury hotels already providing stellar service to both visitors and residents. Like the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, which opened in 2009. This was the company’s first property built outside of New York City, which is a pretty big deal. The 497-room resort features a Rees Jonesdesigned 18-hole championship golf course, a Waldorf Astoria Spa by Guerlain and the renowned Bull & Bear Steakhouse.The cool thing is the Waldorf is ready to indulge you now.

Or you could choose the classic elegance of the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes.

The Ritz provides spectacularly appointed guest rooms, as well as privately guided ecotours of Shingle Creek, the headwaters to the Florida Everglades. The 40,000-squarefoot Ritz-Carlton Spa — rated one of the country’s best by Travel & Leisure magazine

— is where sore muscles are kneaded and weary bodies rejuvenated. And then there’s Norman’s, the resort’s award-winning AAA Four-Diamond/Mobil 4-Star signature restaurant developed by celebrity chef Norman Van Aken. You certainly can’t go wrong here.

If you’re seeking a more cosmopolitan stay, look no further than the Grand Bohemian in downtown Orlando. The AAA FourDiamond hotel is recognized equally for its 150-plus rare works of art, impeccable service and tasteful dining. The 250 guest rooms include lush velvet drapes and deeply toned Java wood.

You can enjoy libations, live jazz and latenight tunes at the Bösendorfer Lounge. Or dine at the recently renovated AAA FourDiamond Boheme restaurant. Since the hotel is located on the south-end of downtown, the amazing views of the skyline add to the already romantic atmosphere.

And if your house is overflowing with guests during the upcoming holiday season, don’t forget to mention these hotels. Your guests will be thankful for the extra luxury, and so will you. <

Super Hunk: Taylor Lautner

By: Rebecca Coe Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> He plays a werewolf onscreen in The Twilight Saga, he’s a teen-idol, sex symbol, and in 2010 was considered to be the highest-paid teen actor in Hollywood. 19-year-old Taylor Daniel Lautner is living the dream and rising among the ranks of Hollywood’s most elite.

Taylor Lautner was born on February 11, 1992 in Grand Rapids, Michigan and was raised in a Roman Catholic home with his sister, Makena in the small city of Hudsonville, Michigan. At the young age of six, he began to train in the martial arts, which picked up quickly and soon thereafter was invited to train with the seven-time world karate champion, Michael Chaturantabut.

When Taylor turned eight, he represented the United States in the twelve years and under division in the World Karate Association, where he later became the Junior World forms and Weapons champion. At twelve years old, he was a three-time Junior World Champion.

At the encouragement of his martial arts trainer, Taylor entered the world of acting at the age of seven. He and his family traveled back-and-forth between Los Angeles, California and their home in Michigan so that Taylor could audition for acting roles. When Taylor turned ten, his family made the decision to move permanently to LA. In 2001, Taylor landed his first TV-film role in the movie Shadow Fury. He later appeared in small television roles on The Bernie Mac Show, My Wife and Kids, and Summerland. He also did several voice-over roles in the animated TV-series Danny Phantom, Duck Dodgers, and What’s New Scooby-Doo?.

In 2005, he landed a role in the comedy film Cheaper by the Dozen 2, as the character Elliot Murtaugh, and later that year received his first breakout role as the lead actor in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3D. In 2008,Taylor auditioned for the role that turned his acting career upside down and made him an over-night sensation. He won over the hearts of girls across the nation in the iconic role of Jacob Black, the mysterious and handsome werewolf in the blockbuster hit Twilight.

Later that same year, in order to keep his role as Jacob Black, Taylor underwent extreme workout regimens and gained approximately 30 pounds to bulk up and play the muscular and more grown-up werewolf in the following installments - The Twilight Saga: New Moon, (2009), and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, (2010).

styletome.com

With his new muscular physique, Taylor rose to sex symbol status and began to attract a lot of media attention for his new found good looks.

He was voted #1 in Access Hollywood’s “Top Five Hollywood Abs of 2008,” #2 in Glamour Magazine’s 50 Sexiest Men of 2010, #2 in E!’s “Hottest Men of 2010,” #3 in Men’s Health Magazine’s “Top 10 Best Summer Bodies of 2010,” #4 in People Magazine’s 50 Most Amazing Bodies of 2010, and he was also recognized as one of GQ Magazine’s “Men of the Year” for 2010.

In 2010, he started to branch out into other film roles and starred in the romantic comedy, Valentine’s Day. This year, in 2011, Taylor played the lead role in the spy, action-thriller Abduction, alongside actress Lily Collins, and will reprise his role as Jacob Black in the last two films of the Twilight series - The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1, which is being released this month on November 18th, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2, which is set to be released in the Fall of 2012.

Here are some fun facts about the Twilight hunk:

-Some of Taylor’s favorite things to eat are Chinese and Mexican food and for dessert, he likes to indulge in cake batter flavored ice cream.

-Baby blue is his favorite color.

-His favorite sports to play are football and baseball; he is a huge fan of the University of Texas Longhorns and the University of Michigan Wolverines.

-Taylor is the owner of a Maltese pup, whose name is Roxy.

-He has been romantically linked to country music artist and his Valentine’s Day co-star, Taylor Swift, Disney actress and singer, Selena Gomez, and more recently, his Abduction co-star, Lily Collins.

-He has won multiple MTV Movie Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and People’s Choice Awards, just to name a few.

-His trademarks are his gorgeous smile and washboard abs;Taylor was voted “Best Smile” by his junior class in high school.

-Taylor is of French, Dutch, Native American, and German descent.The name Lautner is German.

-He is named as one of People Magazine’s 100 Most Beautiful People of 2011.<

What is this food coma you ask? Don’t act so surprised. We’ve all experienced it, especially on Thanksgiving Day. Scientifically, it is a rush of blood to your stomach and intestines to aid in digestion, which decreases the blood flow to other areas, causing feelings of lethargy. Simply stated, it’s that “I need a nap” feeling you get after eating a large meal. Not to mention the overwhelming need to unbutton your pants. There are ways to deal with this holiday “gremlin,” and I’m here to share just a few tips.

If you can’t avoid dessert, just have a sliver of a slice or 3 bites to satisfy the sweet tooth. Large amounts of food can cause fatigue, but sucrose is the main culprit. When eaten, insulin is released to help break down the sugar. When insulin increases so does serotonin and melatonin… making you very sleepy.

chew that first bite. Better yet, have some fiber with water, such as Citrucel, Metamucil, etc., 15 minutes before you eat. This will curb your appetite so you will eat less (it’s a great tip when you’re on a diet as well).

Another great tip is to use smaller plates, and if you must go back for seconds… you don’t have to feel so guilty about it.

Football games invade everyone’s living rooms, while the delicious aroma of spices fill the air. What would the holiday be without the traditional turkey dinner?

Water is the most critical nutrient we can give our bodies. In fact, our bodies are comprised of two-thirds water and lose an average of 2.5 liters of water daily. In order to stay hydrated it is necessary to replenish what is lost at a minimum each day. Drinking lots of water not only hydrates the skin, but also helps to flush out toxins and other chemicals that cause aging.

4. Cut the Junk A study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that people who replaced processed carbohydrates with high-protein foods and whole grains broke out less. The reason? High-glycemic foods cause your blood sugar to rise, triggering a surge of insulin. Insulin stimulates oil-producing hormones called androgens, which cause breakouts. Cut the junk, and you could see an improvement in acne in about six weeks. Instead, opt for sensible snacks like raw nuts. The healthy fats

2. Wine Down I’m not trying to take away all your fun! You can still have a glass of something. Drink more than a cocktail a day? Your skin is going to suffer.

Alcohol has been proven to dilate the blood vessels in the skin. Every time you have a drink, the blood vessels dilate and remain permanently dilated until they lose their tone. In addition, alcohol can worsen certain skin conditions including acne and rosacea and has been found to de-

plete the body of vitamin A, an important anti-oxidant.

PROOF

1. Get Your Beauty Sleep Believe it or not, the expression “get your beauty sleep” actually has some science behind it. Lack of sleep is directly connected to an increase in the stress hormone cortisol. Increased levels of cortisol create a rise in blood sugar, increase fat storage around the waist and hips, and reduce the body’s ability to generate new skin cells. Consistently depriving yourself of sleep can also make your complexion look sallow and can aggravate skin conditions including acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

cord stem cells during childbirth. Researchers have recently developed exciting and innovative technologies allowing for the collection of adult stem cells from a simple blood draw. Using a unique patented process, scientists can now induce these cells to greatly multiply and then cryogenically store these stem cells indefinitely. The stem cells can then be made ready with several days notice for potential life saving treatments.

Stem Cell Banking: A New Approach To “Life Insurance.”

> Stem cells are a one kind of cell found in your body. Your body is made up of millions and millions of cells, however stem cells are unique because they are “blank” cells. They have the miraculous ability to turn into the different cells in your body such as skin, blood, bone, and brain. “As an anti-aging physician, I believe that stem cell therapies are the next step for achieving innovative and advanced medicine. Healing in the future will use our own remarkable resource—stem cells—to repair, regenerate, and restore our natural balance and health.

Vital young stem cells serve as the essential raw material of regenerative medicine.” Says Dr. Harding.

On a daily basis, our stem cells play an active and important role in our bodies. Stem cells produce healthy cells that repair and replace old and damaged cells and tissues in our bodies. Unfortunately, as we age, so do our stem cells; they begin to die off or work at a slower rate. With each passing year, we are left with fewer stems, which are less robust than before. Our bodies begin to lose the ability to replace old and dying cells with new, fully functioning stem cells.

As a result, rapid aging begins to occur.

The Future of Science Is Here

Now, it is possible for every adult to take advantage of stem cell therapies using their own stem cells. In past years, these therapies were only available to people whose parents had the foresight to store umbilical

Studies worldwide have shown that once a person receives stem cell therapies, their bodies begin to heal and reverse damage inflicted from prior diseases and medical conditions. Stem cells are currently being used in burn treatments and wound healing. Researchers believe they may be able to use stem cell therapies to treat medical conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, strokes, and cardiovascular diseases. There have been many laboratory breakthroughs in treating injuries of the brain, spinal cord, and joints.

“We have seen stem cells being used to grow new, functioning replacement organs.

For example, in human cosmetic medicine, scientists are testing whether stem cell therapies can cure male-pattern baldness.

Stem cell therapies may also affect the future of breast augmentation surgeries. Scientists expect the already large number of stem cell treatments to grow rapidly.” Says Dr. Harding.

Banking Now For Your Future

The younger you are, the younger and healthier your stem cells are in your body.

As you age, your stem cells deteriorate and reduce in number, becoming less able to generate new cells. For example: at age 70, your stem cells are less capable than they are at age 50, and consequently they do not regenerate new cells as effectively, if at all.

You can now store your healthier stem cells today so you can take advantage of your own life-saving stem cells tomorrow. Adult stem cell banking is like having a “life insurance” policy. By having your stem cells expanded and banked, you will be prepared to combat unexpected disease in later years, and these cells can be ready for use in a very short time.<

Electrifying Luxury!

Introducing the electric Rolls Royce Phantom EE Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> Rolls-Royce Motor Cars proudly presents 102EX, a car that represents one of the most significant initiatives taken by the company in recent years. It is the world’s first battery electric vehicle for the ultra-luxury segment and continues a tradition of experimental cars running through the model generations.

Rolls-Royce produces cars that represent the pinnacle in luxurious motoring for the world’s most discerning customers. However, the company also recognises the need to look to the future and to plan for long-term sustainable growth. An investigation into alternative drive-train options is an important step in that process.

With 102EX, also to be known as the Phantom Experimental Electric (EE), it is the company’s intention to carefully test the opinions and reactions to alternative drive-train options of a range of stakeholders including owners, enthusiasts, members of the public and the media.

Phantom EE will serve as a working test bed, giving owners, VIPs, the media and enthusiasts the opportunity to experience an established alternative drivetrain technology and to feed back their experiences, thoughts and concerns directly.

The bank of research gathered from a global drive programme that will include Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America will be crucial to decisions affecting alternative drive-trains for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

There are no plans to build a production version of this car. Phantom EE’s role is as a test bed, designed to explore established BEV technologies, to pose as well as to answer questions.

Can Phantom EE deliver an acceptable range for customers without frequent re-charging? Is there confidence in its ability to operate in extreme conditions?

Will reliability and quality be consistent with expectations of the world’s pinnacle automotive brand?

Phantom EE also poses more fundamental questions: Is an all-electric drive-train able to deliver an authentic Rolls-Royce experience for customers, an experience that truly befits the marque?

Whether all-electric or another alternative drivetrain option is right for Rolls-Royce will become clearer when the test programme is complete at the end of the year.

DESIGN “It’s a credible design concept that perfectly complements the experimental nature of the car, exploring options in light, space and use of materials. Had we changed the overall aesthetic, the concept would have lost credibility; our audience would assume it was simply a styling exercise. The reality is that this is an experimental vehicle in its truest sense, challenging perceptions, emotions and values - as well as exploring alternative drive-train technology.” – Ian Cameron, Chief Designer Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

102EX bears the famous hallmarks of the RollsRoyce Phantom on which it is based, such as hand craftsmanship, fine detailing and iconic design cues like the pantheon grille and the Spirit of Ecstasy which celebrates its centenary in 2011. However, at the core of its design is the essence of an experimental vehicle, establishing this car’s status as a test bed, while subtly alluding to its electric power plant.

The design creates a different aesthetic, experimenting with interior space and materials, as well as trims and illumination. These are framed around functional considerations for a battery electric Rolls-Royce how the car is likely to be used and the changes that the technology brings in terms of interior space and exterior detailing. Naturally, these changes are executed in a way that affirms the car’s credentials as a Rolls-Royce.<

What if you could experience luxury on a whole new dimension—would you?

Or savor the elegance you find in only five star institutions? If you could come close to taking flight without ever leaving the ground, wouldn’t you schedule a take off? Indeed, all of these “what ifs” are reality at the Orlando Premier Collection, located across from the Mall at Millenia. From the stylings of Infiniti and Jaguar to the superb handling of Aston Martin and Lotus, the Collection is truly a collection of the finer things in life.

Doesn’t everyone want to be totally pampered and luxuriate in royal opulence? It’s in our nature to seek plush surroundings and enjoy lavish grandeur. First class features are what Infiniti offers you. From the curvaceous wrap-around dash board, striking metallic trim, to the supple leather seats and state of the art electronics, driving an Infiniti reminds us that life should always be this good.

However, let’s not leave Jaguar out of the conversation.The newly redesigned Jaguar models are truly exceptional.

With it’s standard, stately features, Jaguar has no peers.

JAGUAR ORL ANDO ORLANDO INFINITI

LOTUS ORLANDO

ASTON MARTIN ORLANDO

So let’s say you agree that Infiniti and Jaguar deliver the élan you want…. but you want a car with a little more oomph, a little more va-va-voom.

This is where the Collection’s fine selection of Aston Martin and Lotus models come into play.

Aston Martin is the epitome of elegance in the automotive industry--treasured for its precision steering and state-of-the-art interior. It is admired for its precise steering, luxurious interior, smooth ride and last but not least, powerful V12 engine. But what makes this majestic sport vehicle stand out? Its fine-tuned suspension, which gives Aston Martin one of the smoothest rides in its class.

Smooth is one thing – fast is another. If you like to whip around hairpin turns with incredible control, a Lotus is your vehicle of choice. Just gaze at a Lotus and you will know it is built for speed. This is a fierce competitor made to race jet fighters.

So next time someone asks you “what if,” reply back with “why not.” Why not head over to the Orlando Premier Collection today? Why not experience the unequaled elegance and craftsmanship only we can offer? Infiniti, Aston Martin, Lotus and Jaguar Orlando, a better way to say luxury.

> Real estate is a field in which most enter motivated purely by the entrepreneurial nature of the craft. Broker/Associate Carolyn Moriarty is truly the exception to the rule and a beacon of hope. Inspired by the hard walks of life and forced to prosper by an unrelenting desire to succeed for her and her two children, Carolyn of Re/Max leapt at every opportunity the industry had to offer to build a career. Not only giving herself a flawless reputation, but ranking her in the top five in 2010 across the state of Florida as well.

After a series of hardships, Carolyn Moriarty found herself at a crossroads. “I was in a sink or swim situation,” she explains. “I acquired my Real Estate license in 1999 not knowing that one day I would have to use it as my only source of income while raising my two children.” Since Joining with Re/Max and accomplishing so much in so little time, Carolyn inspired her daughter Nikki to follow in her footsteps. At only 19, Nikki has acquired her Real Estate license and has joined her mother as a Buyer’s Agent/Assistant, making her mother proud.”I love working with my mom!” states Nikki, “She’s teaching me the ropes and I learn something new everyday.”

Carolyn acquired her Broker’s license in 2010 and constantly works on gaining more knowledge while earning more designations. “I have so many designations I’ve lost count!” she laughs. In the ever changing market of short sales and Reo/Bank Owned, this education enables her to provide her customers with the most up-to-date information available and to work diligently with many banks in helping to revive the Central Florida market.

Carolyn’s hard work has made it possible for her to accomplish her dream while insuring that Nikki and her son, Sean are provided for. “My dream is to leave them a legacy, a LEGACY OF LOVE,” she states adamantly. “It’s important to me to leave them better off than I was.” Carolyn has already set her and her kids on a beautiful new course. “She has given me a great opportunity,” says Nikki. “I wouldn’t be where I am without her.” “She inspires me and I look up to her because I see how hard she works. She is always out to do her best,” Another source of inspiration and accomplishment Sean, her son says “I’ve seen her always go above and beyond for her clients.”

Carolyn is on the forefront of the ever-changing market and more than ready to adapt right along with it. Truly being the LADY to watch, with a career she loves, two successful children and a host of satisfied clients, Carolyn has definitely made her mark; not only in Central Florida, but across the United States (as a new representative for the National Association of Professional Women). Knowing no limits, Carolyn works on always remembering what got her here in the first place and optimistic that the best is yet to come.<

Tobi Moyle “Your Friend at the Bank” Photo by Brion Price

>The definition of a ‘friend’ is- Someone whom one knows, likes and trusts. A ‘friend’ is what Tobi strives to be to both area Realtors and her customers.

There are few people in the Central Florida real estate industry that have not heard the name Tobi Moyle. She has turned in to a local industry celebrity and for good reason. Her involvement with several area real estate boards and associations coupled with her engaging smile and knowledge have made her stand out in the crowd. She genuinely cares about the real estate market and it shows.

Her philosophy for success is simple. “My team and I do not market for mortgage applicants…we look for new friends to help. When you have a lot of friends, success naturally follows if you always show people that you care,’ Tobi says.

‘I love what I do, my job is also my favorite hobby and I work hard for our customers and my team of loan officers.’

Tobi is very proud of the team she has built over the past 5 years.

They call their office the ‘Wells Fargo Home Team’. ‘Having the awesome team that we have is the thing that makes me most proud in my life. Building the kind of team we have is something that money can not buy….and it takes years to find and recruit all the best top notch professionals in a given area.’ Tobi believes there is strength in numbers and that is why she likes having the current largest branch in the U.S. for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. They currently have 29 loan officers, each with different areas of expertise.

In 2012 Tobi’s ‘Home Team’ has plans to increase their presence by leveraging social media platforms. ‘If people thought they saw my team before, watch out! My team and I plan to be even more visible in the months to come.We want the opportunity to build deeper friendships with our customers and clients. Social media is a perfect way to do this.’

When Tobi says she is ‘Your Friend At The Bank’ she means it from the bottom of her heart. If you would like to meet Tobi and the members of her team please contact Tobi anytime.<

>“As a little girl, fancy lingerie and fur epitomized luxury” says Winter Park Coldwell Banker agent Lisa Tatro.

While growing up in Denver, Lisa’s grandmother owned and operated a prestigious lingerie and fur boutique. It is those early recollections of lace, ribbon, and fur that inspire her taste for luxury and design. “Grandmother Lucy instilled in me a true appreciation of quality, design and opulence.”

Since moving from her hometown in Colorado nearly 16 years ago, Lisa Tatro buys, sells and remodels homes. An associate for almost two decades with a General Contractor specializing in commercial as well as residential construction, Lisa continues her Real Estate knowledge and involvement in countless ways.

It is these experiences that drive Lisa to further develop her eye for Interior Design and her passion for Real Estate. “I’ve been and continue to be passionate about architecture and design” says Lisa. In 2005 a business and partnership developed with designer and longtime friend Jill Hinton. “Lisa has incredible attention to detail and an ability to engage with clients based on their individual needs. She can also tell you how much drywall and crown moldings will cost to purchase and install” said Jill. “Lisa is a savvy builder, designer, and consumer. It is these attributes that make her a natural when it comes to selling Real Estate.”

For her design contributions, Lisa was multiple recipient of the prestigious 2009 Parade of Homes Awards for the multi-million dollar Winter Park home Villa Toscana. After such an incredible achievement, some might wonder why switch to selling Real Estate? Lisa puts it simply, “I’m taking my knowledge of the construction industry, design world and personal passion for homes, and combining them to help clients find the best value on the market today. I aide clients in finding the sometimes hidden potential and value in homes, or help them prepare their existing home for the market. It is incredibly rewarding to assist families/clients find the home of their dreams.” Lisa feels the timing is perfect. “I’m committed to evolving with and maximizing each experience.”

Lisa Tatro

Has she lost her love of design? Absolutely not! Tatro says “My creative side continues to flourish. I recently worked on a project to furnish a client’s vacation home. It was a great experience and outlet. The client couldn’t be happier.” Lisa’s focus remains on facilitating the purchase and sale of homes for clients. She is sincerely happy and relishes the excitement of this moment and time in Real Estate and her career.

“I truly wear many hats: single Mom, Real Estate agent, Designer. I give 110% to each.” Lisa credits her family and friends as inspiration and support. “I couldn’t do it without them.”

Lisa currently works at the Park Avenue office of Coldwell Banker, the world’s most recognizable real estate company. The combination of its solid foundation and Lisa’s passion and drive ensure no limit to her client’s success.

And the memories of lace, ribbon, fur and Grandmother Lucy? “My original dreams and foundations of luxury continue to inspire me, only now it’s so my clients can attain theirs”.<

Winemaking Franciscan Cuvée Sauvage 2007 Chardonnay Carneros, Napa Valley Courtesy of: Janet Myers, Winemaker Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> In 1987, my Franciscan winemaking predecessor Greg Upton created a stir in Napa Valley by fermenting Chardonnay using only the wild, native yeasts from the vineyard, emulating the great wines of Burgundy. Even now, many winemakers in California consider this a lost art —too risky, too arduous to attempt.

The wine was called, appropriately, Cuvée Sauvage. It was quickly recognized as a landmark for Napa Valley, and opened an exciting new chapter in Franciscan’s portfolio of handcrafted wines. I am honored to continue Greg’s inspired creation.

For Cuvée Sauvage, we start with our finest lots from cool Carneros. We don’t add yeast—we just put the juice in barrels in a special corner of the cellar and wait. And wait. Unlike cultured yeasts, wild yeast comes in many strains, reflective of the vineyard terroir. They work in a relay, and as one strain finishes, another starts, each adding its own personality to the wine, giving layers of complexity to each lot —which is why we go to the extra effort of “going wild.”

Each barrel has a distinct aroma and flavor profile.Thus, Cuvée Sauvage offers a unique opportunity to exercise the art of blending.

Only 10% of the barrels make the final cut.

I consider 2007 to be a very good vintage.

The dry winter season led to a small crop, offering excellent flavor intensity with bright fruit and richness on the palate.

APPEARANCE: Delicate lemon yellow AROMA: Honey, bright apple, lemon and cream aromas, with flinty mineral notes and vanilla toasty oak highlights. Complex and layered.

FLAVOR: Round and mouth-filling, with flavors of rich pear, apple, and honeysuckle filling the palate. Vibrant citrus, honey, and mineral notes highlight the long finish. Textural and elegant.

> OS Book Club: One Man’s Revealing Spiritual Journey Shows How To Bring The Depths Of Meditation Or Prayer Into Life Rather Than Life To Meditation

> Where Dr. Forman’s new book differs from most spiritual or self-help books is that his book, Enlightenment Ain’t What It’s Cracked Up To Be: A Journey of Discovery, Snow and Jazz in the Soul (O-Books), cuts through all the hype and ‘pie in the sky’ claims that so many self-help books are based on, and shows what the goal of attaining enlightenment is actually about.

From copious research as well as his own 39 years’ experience of spiritual enlightenment, Dr. Forman tells what it actually is and is not like, and offers sane and experienced guidance to readers who are battling with confusion over their life direction. Some are convinced they don’t have what it takes to achieve enlightenment in this lifetime or are disillusioned by spiritual teachers who don’t live up to their exalted image,

while others are hungry for a different way – knowing it’s out there but having no idea where to turn to find it, and worrying that choosing a spiritual life means leaving their everyday life behind.

spiritual experience and the path.

Enlightenment Ain’t What It’s Cracked Up To Be invites readers to be honest about their spiritual experiences and goals and consider a radically different yet more productive approach. We must “embrace the human messiness” that is too often ignored or outright rejected by most spiritual traditions. He presents a new direction for people who are looking for a sane and healthy spiritual pathway in our increasingly confusing world – one that offers a transformation of everyday life.

Jack Canfield, Co-creator of the NY Times #l Bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series: “Enlightening… more than a memoir of a profoundly revealing spiritual journey. It is a deep invitation to be your authentic self--to fully own, embody and express every aspect of yourself. The honesty, openness and transparency of Robert’s spiritual journey instantly captivated me. I read the book in one long, joyous sitting. I literally could not put the book down…illuminating, entertaining and impactful. If you’re looking for guidance as to what is truly spiritual and enlightening, then read this book! It is definitely chicken soup for the spiritual seeker’s soul!” <

> Kimberly Perry of The Band Perry says, “Daddy rocked us to sleep with the Rolling Stones; Mama woke us up with Loretta Lynn. So we get it honest.” This quote completely surmises the philosophy of this group.

There is a sweetness that is purely American country but seems to be steadily catching on within other genres, most notably pop music.

With none of the members any older than the age of 29, these young musicians have certainly spent much time singing, talking and believing in themselves while playing the likes of everything from dusty churches to every roadhouse along the way. With a discovery in 2008 by Bob Doyle, the same dream making manager of another country music sensation some may have heard of by the name of Garth Brooks, the band went right to work writing and singing because they knew their time was right at that moment. Three years later a Grammy nomination, countless other nominations, and two wins for Top New Vocal Group and Top New Artist at the Academy of Country Music Awards to just name a few, are exactly what they can show for it. This band, The Band Perry may just be country music’s best kept secret and it is now time to show the rest of music fans what they’re in for.

Each brings their respective thoughts and talents to the band, creating a sound that touches the listener’s soul. Although Kimberly provides lead vocals and guitar and piano skills, her brothers do not fall behind in the performance. Neil and Reid each offer background vocals and play their own specialty instruments. For Reid it is his guitar. At the tender age of 10, while his closest of friends were trying out for sports Reid was way more content strumming his guitar. Neil plays the mandolin, drums and accordion offering unique appeal to the band’s style. Although the sibling’s music together is exactly the perfect combination

now, they were not always on the same music sheet. Prior to their union, while in her first band, Kimberly hired her brothers to be her roadies and assist with such duties. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long before Neil and Reid realized shining instruments and cleaning everything wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t their passion. They even formed their own band that would open for Kimberlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. After years of writing their individual works together and helping one another, they decided to join as one.Thirteen years later they are still The Band Perry.

The trio knows their greatest strength is not only the musical ability they naturally inherited, but also when their different points of view and style ignite. They find calm in the fact they operate in a democratic manner, which allows for each member to lead at times. Just as they differ slightly in their instrumental choices, their personalities each bring something special to the mix. Kimberly offers the delicate side of the group. A side that is strong, sweet and pretty in many aspects.

Reid tends to be an idea man who always seems to have something brewing. Neil rounds out the ideas and songs with a sense of humor that ties and holds them together.

> Trial By Ambush when liberty is at stake: by Mark L. Horwitz

> Many have heard the term “trial by ambush.” It refers to surprises that occur in a trial and is generally considered an unfair tactic that interferes with the search for truth. Not commonly known, however, is that in a federal criminal case, when personal liberty is at stake, the defendant faces “trial by ambush” that is built into the Rules of Criminal Procedure.

The Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz - A Professional Association 17 E. Pine St. Orlando, FL 32801 407-843-7733 mark@mlhorwitzlaw.com www.mlhorwitzlaw.com

Many believe that in a lawsuit, both sides disclose their witnesses and that prior to trial, the wit-

nesses will be deposed to learn what will be related to the jury.

This happens in civil and criminal cases in Florida state courts and in a federal civil case.

In a federal criminal case, however, when a defendant’s liberty is threatened by imprisonment, the rules are different. The Federal Rules do not require the government to identify its witnesses (the exception is expert witnesses), nor do the rules allow depositions prior to trial. (There are very limited exceptions.)

Special Promotional Feature

Belief in the fundamental fairness of our federal courts is subject to criticism when a person facing imprisonment in a criminal case does not have the rights given to those fighting over money in a civil case. The right to be given names of the government’s witnesses and to take depositions in a criminal case should be the same as in a civil case.<

Hilton Orlando

Something Borrowed, Something Blue...

Trends at Weddings are Always New! By: Elizabeth Harding, JD & Deborah Harding, MD Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> Weddings are as old as time. For centuries, couples across the world have participated in this special celebration. Yet, weddings always feel fresh and exciting, and never grow old. Each year, new and stylish trends are seen at weddings for the first time.

In September, Orlando Style had the opportunity to learn about current and upcoming wedding trends for 2012, at a wedding showcase hosted by the Hilton Orlando. As a bride-to-be myself, I was especially excited to attend this event with my mom. The talented hosts at the Hilton Orlando taught us how to create a classic wedding with a modern and fresh twist.

Some top wedding trends this 2012 to be on the lookout for: Transformative Lighting and Innovative Décor:

the room, which created an exciting and modern theme with a swanky vibe. The next night, the hotel joined with Occasions

by Shangri-la and Greenery Productions to create a remarkable evening. After enjoying appetizers in a stunning room that was Indian themed, guests then moved into a magnificent ballroom that had a unique and breathtaking tropical setting. The creative team used uplighting to paint the walls with a bright red hue; a “wow effect” instantly occurred as guests entered the room. They also used green uplighting to illuminate the creative décor—such as the palm trees, bamboo shoots, tapestries hanging from the walls, and an indoor waterfall. These effects made guests feel as if they were in a different part of the world. Combining uplighting with décor is an easy way to highlight a theme, while creating a room that guests will be talking about for years to come.

A New Twist On Food:

Gone are the days of simple centerpieces and draped walls during a wedding reception.

Now, brides can transform a room to resemble any theme—or even country— that they desire. Intertwining uplighting with innovative décor is a hot trend this 2012 wedding season. Created by beams of light projected from the floor to the ceiling, uplighting is a stylish and easy way to add bursts of color to a room. Additionally, this visual effect helps establish the theme by illuminating the décor and setting the mood of the room.

At the wedding showcase, for example, the Hilton Orlando transformed a ballroom into a fun nightclub theme by using blue uplighting. The beams of blue enhanced the white furniture and ice-bars throughout

Traditionally, a bride chose between plated meals or stand-alone buffets for the wedding reception. At the wedding showcase, we learned about a new option for brides.

Referred to as “action stations,” this option provides a fun and modern approach to serving dinner and desserts at weddings.

Dinner Meets Modern:

Action stations are similar to buffets, but with a unique twist. Imagine a room filled with multiple food stations, each with a dedicated chef. When a guest approaches the station, the chef creates a personal and memorable experience. Depending on the type of dish, the chef might cook on site, assemble the dish in front of the

style

guest, or highlight the dish and explain its ingredients.

During the wedding showcase, the Hilton Orlando showed us some of their popular action stations. I quickly learned why actions stations are becoming a stylish trend at weddings. At one of the action stations, for example, a chef pan-seared individual filets of mangrove snapper. The guests had a delightful time learning about the ingredients from the chef, while watching him create this delicious dish firsthand. At another action station, a chef assembled “edible martinis” at an ice bar; this fun dish included a delicious appetizer inside of a martini glass, and was lightly spritzed with blueberry vodka. Dinner stations are a new, stylish trend that I predict will become a wedding favorite.

Dessert Redux:

Dessert action stations are also becoming very trendy, and can instantly update a classic wedding. For instance, one of my favorite action stations at the wedding showcase featured “wedding cake push pops,” which including yellow cake with a Meyer lemon filling, and a vanilla buttercream. They were assembled by Chef Anna Young, under the direction of Master Pastry Chef Thomas Huebner at the Hilton Orlando. As Chef Young explained, “I want [guests] to eat something that is going to trigger a memory…a really good feeling.”

Farm to Fork Ingredients:

In recent years, many Central Florida residents and restaurants have started cooking with fresh, local ingredients. This

trend has also influenced the types of foods being served at weddings. As explained by Executive Chef Louis Martorano at the Hilton Orlando, serving “farm to fork” ingredients at weddings is a very popular and growing trend.

In fact, many brides have started requesting that all or most of the ingredients for the rehearsal dinner and reception come from local sources. At the Hilton Orlando, for example, brides can now create wedding menus where all of the ingredients come from farms located within 100 to 150 miles of Central Florida. Brides can even request that all fish and seafood be caught off the Florida coastline.

A New Year Brings New Wedding Trends:

This upcoming wedding season, plan on seeing new ways to add a modern twist to a classic wedding. The wedding showcase at the Hilton Orlando, led by Director of Local Catering Teresa Bernstein, and her amazing and very talented staff, showed us a multitude of popular trends for upcoming weddings. We also experienced first-hand why the Hilton Orlando is a perfect venue for brides. Weddings are no longer oneday events; many brides plan an exciting itinerary for guests throughout the wedding weekend. Built in 2009, this spectacular hotel offers the unique capability of being able to host all of the wedding events on-site. The Hilton Orlando boosts a variety of beautiful spots for the wedding, rehearsal dinner, wedding brunches, bridal showers, and other wedding festivities. For instance, it has a multitude of elegant ballrooms to choose from, which can accommodate weddings of

all sizes. The hotel also has three wonderful restaurants on the property, all which are perfect for wedding events. The Hilton Orlando’s convenient location, outstanding service, creative and talented chefs, and very accommodating staff makes it an ideal wedding spot.

Also, wedding guests will have a wonderful time staying overnight at the Hilton Orlando. The hotel offers 1,400 hotel rooms, including executive rooms and suites.

Having stayed at the hotel overnight myself, I was very impressed with the elegance of the guest rooms. Luxurious and top-rate, the guest rooms at the Hilton Orlando are a perfect spot for guests during a wedding weekend. Also, guests are sure to enjoy the magnificent spa on property, which offers a variety of services to choose from. They also will have a fabulous time at the hotel’s stellar pool area. It includes a variety of fun features, such a fabulous resort pool that is perfect for families, poolside cabanas to relax in, and even a lazy river!

I am so excited for the upcoming wedding season and can’t wait to incorporate these modern twists on classic themes into my ‘own’ upcoming wedding in Orlando this 2012. It’s a great time to be a bride! <

You may be wondering

what position you could possibly fill, but the

volunteer opportunities are endless.

This Holiday Season Spread Some Love By: Cathleen K. Bode Credits: Donna Marie Calantog Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> For every baby that is born, 15 dogs and 45 cats are born. If babies are being born every minute, think of how many homeless animals are as well. As the holidays approach, it is essential to remember that the gift of giving not only refers to stockings and paper wrapped presents.We can also give the gift of our time to those in need.This holiday season spread some love by volunteering at an animal shelter near you.

You may be wondering what position you could possibly fill, but the volunteer opportunities are endless. Each position qualifications and training varies, but all equally result in making a difference in an animal’s life. For the outdoor adventurer, become a “bark buddy.” Dogs need exercise and companionship. They don’t understand why their family abandoned them.

There is nothing like a good game of fetch and I bet you’ll love it as much as them!

If you’re more of a cat person, become a “kitty cuddler.” Playing with cats and kittens helps them become better adjusted, and they can be the purrr-fect pets for their next family to be. Foster a pet with special needs, like a young animal or one recovering from illness or surgery. These pets need a little more one on one attention.

You and a pooch can paw your way around as a pet visitation program team member.

These pets will bring comfort and holiday spirit to sick children, brain-injured patients, and senior citizens.

For future veterinarians, a hospital helper is a great start into the animal care health profession. You get to experience it all, from cleaning cages to wrapping surgical packs. If you like teaching, become a “creature teacher.” You can teach children about responsible animal care in camps, shelters, and classrooms.

Even if you’re not a natural with Fido or Snowball, assist in the office, or put your party animal skills to use by helping plan and execute a charity event, so these animals can have a second chance in life. These are only a few of the many positions available.

Volunteer programs are available for all ages, so the whole family can volunteer together, and it doesn’t require a lot of your time. At animal organizations, like the SPCA, you can help by giving as few as 8 hours a month.

Sign up by attending an open house event, complete an online volunteer orientation, and fill out an application. If your volunteer position requires additional training, the organization will gladly provide it.
