letter from the eic and publisher.

pring has arrived in all its splendor with glorious weather, ritzy galas, art fairs, boat shows, tons of tennis, and plenty of social engagements to keep the jet set party-hopping the entire season.

On that note, the phrase “Only in Miami” rang true for us this weekend at the Miami City Ballet Gala, where we were graciously hosted by Graff Diamonds. After enjoying the extraordinary performance, we moved to the backstage area for dinner and dancing when a guest at our table — a gorgeous lady in red from Brazil — noticed one of her diamond and ruby earrings was gone. While she remained cool as a cucumber, the rest of us at the table were in a panic over the small fortune that had gone missing between the auditorium and the backstage area — several millions worth! Our very own Silvio Sulichin transformed into Sherlock Holmes and leaped into action gathering clues to lead him to the missing treasure. Acting swiftly, Silvio traced back the lady in red’s steps. Thus, not long after the treasure hunt began, the lady in red was reunited with her matching diamond and ruby earring by our publisher — a.k.a. Sherlock Holmes — a.k.a. Silvio Sulichin. “Only in Miami” can a night take so many turns and have a fairytale ending. We wish you a splendid spring season, and hope you enjoy this issue of TRILLIONAIRE Magazine from cover to cover. We want to thank Jill Eber and Jill Hertzberg of Coldwell Banker and developer Todd Glaser for allowing us to shoot the spring cover and fashion editorial at 30 Star Island. To read about this modern masterpiece designed by architect Kobi Karp turn to Shining Star on page 68. If ART is your pastime, turn to page 74 for a conversation with a living legend, artist Frank Stella, and contributor, Katherine Hinds, curator of The Margulies Collection at the WAREhOUSE.

FAB FITNESS E

xercise trends come and go, like Miami’s snowbirds, and what’s hip one day is passé the next. Whether you are a fan of getting your derriere kicked at Barry’s Boot Camp, grunting it out with the boys at Cross Fit, performing a plié with the ballerinas in Dance Pilates, or mastering your strut at Zumba, we asked the fittest and sexiest people we know what exactly it was they were doing to achieve and sustain their fab physique, despite their strenuous jet-setting schedules. CLASS: Core Fusion Barre+Cardio at Exhale Spa GETTING FIT: Cristina Scarano, Brickell/San Juan – Entertainment Lawyer, New Bride

“I have been going to Exhale Spa for about three years. I was first drawn to the hotel — I love the Epic — so much so that my husband and I decided to have our wedding there — but the Core Fusion classes are what kept me coming back. About five months Cristina Scarano (middle) prior to our November wedding, I ramped up the workouts at Exhale, participating mostly in the Core Fusion Boot Camp and Core Fusion Sport classes about three times a week. They are some of the most intense classes I’ve ever taken, and I have done just about every class in town. I was excited to learn that a new class had been added to the signature Core Fusion series: Core Fusion Barre+Cardio, which combines the cardio benefits of interval training with the toning benefits of the barre technique — borrowed from ballet, the technique makes use of dance and yoga. This fun, sweaty, fat-burning, calorie burning, musclesculpting combo class transformed my entire body. The fast paced two-part class consists of 30 minutes of sweaty sprints with short recovery periods, followed by muscle-defining barre-based sequences. I currently alternate between boxing, spinning, and Core Fusion. Core Fusion classes are an intense workout with elements of yoga tossed in, which helped me keep calm during tumultuous wedding planning.” Exhale Spa has seven classes in its suite of Core Fusion programs: Core Fusion Barre+Cardio, Core Fusion Barre, Core Fusion Boot Camp, Core Fusion Cardio, Core Fusion Sport and Core Fusion Yoga. Exhale Spa, Epic Hotel Downtown Miami, 270 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami. Also coming to South Beach in April 2014, exhalespa.com, 305.423.3900. CLASS: Group weightlifting at ROCK: 50 GETTING FIT: Christian Gonzalez — Miami/ Caracas — graphic designer

“My muscles are still sore from trying out Rock: 50, a 50-minute group weightlifting class developed by the founders Christian Gonzalez of Zumba. In contrast to cardio-based programs like Crossfit, Orange Theory, and Barry’s Bootcamp, Rock: 50 is focused on muscle development — building, 26 TRILLIONAIRE

toning, and strengthening. The studio offers three different classes throughout the week — PUSH, PULL, and LEGS, which target different muscle groups of your body. So I joined the LEGS class, which consisted of eight exercises targeting your quads, hamstrings, calves, and your butt. My abs got an excellent workout as well. At around $18/class, it also beats paying $85/hour for a personal trainer. I’m looking forward to my “Rock”-solid body, but for now, I need a 50-minute massage.” ROCK: 50, Gulfstream Village, 800 Silks Run, #1350, Hallandale, rock50.net, 786.565.8187. CLASS: Acro Yoga at Trio Yoga GETTING FIT: Flavia Tallo, South Beach/Sao Paolo — Real Estate Agent

“Our classes always start in a circle so we are all in the same field of vision; we introduce each other and answer a question — sometimes it’s silly or sometimes it’s a little Flavia Tallo (middle) deeper — connecting into the theme of the class. The instructor leads us into a partner-based warm up, with flows to connect breath and movement. We move together as we are reminded about trust, communication, community, and fun. For an all levels class, we focus on strength in partnership through acrobatics-based drills and yogic stretching. Awareness and connection is key. Flying is definitely the juiciest part of the class. We work in groups of three with a baser, flyer, and spotter for safety, leading each other into the air into dynamic movements and stretches. Everyone takes turns in the varying roles to ensure a complete experience. I tried Acro Yoga for the first time while in Tulum and fell in love instantly. When I got home, I was dying to try it again, so I looked up Acro Yoga Miami and came across Trio Yoga. You don’t need a lot of experience in yoga to try it — I’ve only taken a handful of yoga classes. This is the first yoga class I have ever taken that allows you to take pictures.” Acro Yoga at Trio Yoga Wynwood, 2328 N.E. 2nd Ave., Miami. trioyoga.com. 786.597.1755 CLASS: Vixen Workout at Body & Soul Coconut Grove GETTING FIT: Nanette Molina, Ft Lauderdale/Santa Domingo — Marketing & Special Events Director

“The Vixen Workout has been a godsend to me, especially at this time in my life. I started about four weeks ago. I work Nanette Molina out at least five times a week, and I’ve already lost about ten pounds. The creator/founder is Janet Jones, a former Miami Heat dancer, who is truly an inspiration. When you enter the dance studio, the room is dark and neon lights are flashing — like in a nightclub. The Vixen workout is an hour-long, high cardio class where women are encouraged to ‘twerk it out’ and pretend they’re Beyonce with sexy, booty-popping, and empowering dance moves. What I love about this is that you’re actually exercising while having a great time — the hour flies by, and you’re doing squats and abs and arm exercises, too. Who would have thought that I would ever be ‘twerking anything out’? I suppose everyone has an inner vixen just waiting to emerge!” TM Body & Soul Coconut Grove, 3183 S.W. 38th Court, Miami, bodyandsoulmiami. com, also vixenworkout.com, 305.441.BFIT.

SUNSHINE STATE OF MIND Ten luxurious homes come to life in words and pictures in a decorative collectible and worthy resource for those who embrace the Florida lifestyle.

n the new colorful, glossy, and glorious coffee table book Classic Florida Style: The Houses of Taylor & Taylor (The Monacelli Press, April 1, 2014, $50), Miami Beach interior designer Phyllis Taylor says in the preface: “We believe that Florida is not only a state, but a state of mind. It’s a land infused with character, class, color, texture, pattern, light, and much more.” She also stands up to the “bad rap” that Florida’s design has received for being “too trendy, too kitschy, and too ephemeral.” Taylor and her husband, William, an architect who established the Taylor & Taylor Fisher Island home Partnership in Miami in 1983, hope their work has the ability to put these “notions to rest.” With photographs by Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn and text written by Beth Dunlop, a frequent contributing writer to Trillionaire Magazine — see her story in this issue about 30 Star Island on page 68; she is also editor-in-chief of Modern Magazine and the author of Great Houses of Florida and The Tropical Cottage: At Home in Coconut Grove — the book takes an inside look with lush photography of private residences, some with celebrity status, that Taylor and Taylor have transformed. Their style is “formal living to be enjoyed in a relaxed, tropical setting.” Ten luxurious homes are profiled, including a 15-room single-family Seaside at Dan Marino house home on Fisher Island. For this home, Taylor and Taylor wanted to convey the subtlety and sophistication befitting the house and its “enviable setting.” Plus, they were consistently mindful of maintaining the architectural style set by William K. Vanderbilt II. The Ibis House, which University of Miami president Donna Shalala envisioned, both as the president’s residence and as a place of gathering for the university community and visiting dignitaries, was completed in 2012. It was the last house to be built on a plot 28 TRILLIONAIRE

of land — formerly Smathers Four Fillies Farm — bequeathed to the university. Interiors of the LEED-certified building were sourced locally or made from recycled materials in order to narrow the home’s carbon footprint and maintain the botanical integrity of the environment. The oceanfront house of former Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino, and his wife, Claire — nestled between South Carolina and Georgia — is spotlighted in a chapter entitled “Traditional.” “Though it’s not in Florida, the house and its owners have strong roots in the Sunshine State,” the opening paragraph states. Marino requested that much of the interior include a color scheme based on blue. Taylor’s interior also considered the importance of personal touches — such as a director’s chair with Marino’s name on it, a souvenir from the football player’s appearance in the movie Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and an antique pine cabinet found in Charleston, S.C., which displays the Hall of Famer’s many career trophies. The Marinos have worked with the Taylors for several decades on many of their homes, including the couple’s 20,000-square-foot home in Weston, which was sold in 2011. The Weston home is not featured in the book. All of the homes spotlighted in the book are displayed with photographs and room by room descriptions, and serve as an inspiration to anyone who lives in Florida — or as the book’s introduction says, “or dreams of living there.” TM Ibis House

JEWELED BLOSSOMS The past influences runway fashions, leaving plenty of choice to dress up the latest looks with “oh, so feminine” estate and current jewelry. By Ruth Peltason

“

DOLCE & GABBANA

Pink is the navy of India!” Diana Vreeland famously declared in 1962, on her firstever voyage to that honeyed land of sun-soaked colors. How amazed she would be to look around and see that pink is the must-have of the fashionable set, as seen in the Spring 2014 runway collections. And it’s not just the color pink, but the idea of pink: of flowers as in Dolce and Gabbana’s smock dress massed with spring blossoms; of pale blush chiffons, such as a sassy shirtwaist dress by Zac Posen with strategically placed silver flowers; of lace, the color of goldenrod, designed by Valentino as an ecclesiastical robe, though with unabashed show-through; and the cunning transition from feline to feminine in Temperley London’s floor-length dress, the bodice morphing from a scrim of leopard spots to appliqued flowers that crescendo as large, painterly flowers trailing toward the hem. Power dressing? Not at all! Confident? Yes. Beautiful? Utterly so, and without apology. The same could be said of the many choices for jewelry to wear this spring with these gowns. The emphasis might be on color, such as a bracelet of emerald-cut aquamarines and diamonds by Tiffany & Co., or a rose quartz, ruby, and diamond retro bracelet by George Verger. Pearls are more right than ever — and hardly conservative — in a deeply elegant multi-strand natural pearl and diamond necklace by Bulgari, circa 1950, and a bracelet comprised of rows of pink pearls

adorned with a decorative gold buckle. The heavenly hue of the pink pearls and their chromatic harmony with the buckle are pitch perfect. The surprise here is the date of 1880 for the bracelet — so long ago, and yet so right for today’s fashions. (Unless you’re, say, in Antarctica, you could hardly miss the influence on fashion and fine jewelry of the post-Edwardian costume drama Downton Abbey.) Flowers are a perennial theme in jewelry, and for this season there is everything from the over-the-top (a spring bouquet done up as a ring by the exuberant Victoire de Castellane for Dior) and the starkly modernist (Taffin’s amethyst and rhodochrosite brooch). And for the finale to this season’s twenty-first century’s feminine female, look to David Webb, who always combines strength with beauty. His beautifully tailored rock crystal and diamond ear pendants or crystal and diamond cuff are fitting accompaniments — both to Karl Lagerfeld’s almost girlish chiffon and crystal beaded silhouettes, and J. Mendel’s geometric, confidently controlled creations in lace and planes of black and white.

PAST BECOMES PRESENT

Not since the Victorian age has lace been seen in such abundance and worked with such invention. Today, lace is as varied as modern women — romantic, seductive, gorgeous, complex. Above all, lace is lovely. In jewelry, lacework can be achieved through pearls or in a mesh of platinum or yellow gold and diamonds. Van Cleef & Arpels has long adorned women in an entire line of especially feminine jewelry, notably their diamond and yellow gold “lace” bow knot brooches and their famed zipper necklaces — some having a fringe of heart-shaped gold wire, each set with a diamond. The choices are many, each of them sublime works of art. The bow knot brooch dates to 1945, and is one of several the French firm made around this time. Here, the sleight of hand is the workmanship of the gold and openwork diamond treatment, perfectly imitating lace. Pearls are always in style, whether small and fine, or large and luscious. No matter how old you are, where you live, or what you wear, pearls look

fabulous on everyone. Pearls are timeless, which is another way of saying, enviably, that pearls never age. The majesty of this sautoir is present in the design, the materials, and the muscular lion picked out in diamonds. This is power dressing with pearls. Spring colors are traditionally soft. In jewelry, this might mean aquamarines, fancy sapphires, peridots, and tourmalines, each of them full of color and romance. The watery show-through makes for the dreamiest of earrings, and yet there is nothing timid in the very geometric design. Fancy sapphires are scrumptious — remember jujube candy? — and though there are many iterations of multi sapphire necklaces, this one is superb. The storied American company, Tiffany & Co., has made beautiful jewelry over the centuries, with an emphasis on clean design and a light touch. This gorgeous faceted aquamarine bracelet is a triumphant example of how one color, sky blue, can achieve long-lasting greatness. Audrey Hepburn once wrote, “I believe in pink.” So do we. How perfect these drops would be on Downton Abbey’s Lady Mary, underscoring, once again, the program’s influence this season. The proportions are sublime — especially the graduated bezel-set diamonds — but the real call-out here are the toothsome conch pearls.

Verdura may be known for his shell jewelry or his Maltese cross brooches, but his unique choker is a hallmark of design and materials, especially the double row of pink coral. The French have reason to be smug. The House of Verger is among the best of early twentieth-century jewelers, a diamond retro bracelet couldn’t be more of a textbook example of their strength: proportion, materials, and superb design. How incredible — rows and rows of blush-pink pearls from more than 230 years ago, and yet, the large gold buckle gives them heft. A dazzling confection of materials that achieve stylish seduction for this spring’s feminine silhouettes.

The Impressionists were gaga over flowers — think Renoir’s vases spilling with fresh-cut flowers and Monet’s paintings of his gardens at Giverny — and every jeweler of note has been smitten with spring blossoms, summer flowers. Bulgari is triumphant with a chrysanthemum brooch, rich with the elongated amethyst and the curlicues in gold of the mum’s massing of petals. This is nature rendered as seductive and commanding. The House of Dior dates to 1947, when Christian Dior wowed the world with his peplum jacket and skirt with its yards of fabric. In that one ensemble with its emphasis on abundance and luxury, he effectively told the world, “The war is over.” Wartime restrictions on abundance were finally banished. Dior also underscored his reverence for beauty and abundance. This is just as true today in the designs J. MENDEL

Great design demands great editing, and the excellence of modernist jewelry, like modernist couture, requires confidence and rigor. Happily, the rewards are long lasting. Art deco remains popular, influential, and in jewelry, hugely collectible. It is also wonderfully wearable. For the independent minded, J. Mendel’s astonishing 2014 spring collection, with its precision design, is a must. So, too, are these modernist gems, especially from Taffin and David Webb. Webb is the undisputed master of rock crystal. The jeweler began working amazing constructions from crystal in the early 1970s, and the designs poured out of him in a rush, each brilliant and unlike anything seen at the time. Their nonpareil presence remains in force today. Whether scalloped, faceted, scored, or smoothed, all of Webb’s rock crystal jewelry adds incredible light and polish to any woman. TM

BILLION Flavio Briatore’s Billionaire Italian Couture settles into an iconic site in the Design District. By Ina Cordle

60 TRILLIONAIRE

Miami is the place to be,” says Flavio Briatore, Billionaire Italian Couture’s founder, speaking from his home in Monte Carlo. His seal of approval brings with it some pedigree — Briatore started Billionaire Italian Couture in 2005. Today, the company has 26 stores, including shops in Rome, London, St. Tropez, St. Moritz, Macau, Singapore, Dubai, and Moscow. Colorful patterned shirts — made of the finest Italian linen, cotton, and silk — crocodile travel bags, python jackets, velvet slippers, and more fill Billionaire’s jewel box store in Miami’s Design District, open since December. The brand, well known in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, chose Miami for its second store in the United States, after Las Vegas, to cater to its jet-setting clientele.

“When you invest, you don’t invest in the past, or in the present, but in the future.” “Miami at this moment is really a super town — there is a lot of energy, a lot of tourists, a lot of shopping, and a lot of movement,” says Briatore. His aim is for the brand to exude luxury, with careful attention paid to quality and cut. Each piece is made with the finest materials — silk, cashmere,

leather, crocodile, alligator, and python — and finished with exquisite detailing, such as motherof-pearl buttons. “Everything is produced in Italy — from the sweaters to the jeans to the leather,” says the founder. The brand’s name stems from Briatore’s

“Luxury is when you wear something, and you feel very comfortable.” Billionaire nightclubs, which he founded in the late 1990s. Today the company has nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, and resorts scattered around the globe, including Sardinia, Monte Carlo, Istanbul, and Dubai. Among the more recent additions is a Billionaire resort in Malindi, on the Kenyan coast. For his Miami store, Briatore chose the historic Buena Vista Post Office building, an iconic site at the corner of NE 40th Street and NE 2nd Avenue. “When you invest, you don’t invest in the past, or in the present, but in the future,” Briatore said. “It’s a completely new town, a completely new area, and I see all the big brands are there. It’s sensational.” His team revamped the high-ceilinged space, filling it with bright LED lighting, Carrara marble floors, and golden metal fixtures, according to Ron Dessau, Billionaire’s manager for the USA. All the

interiors were designed in Italy, crated, shipped, and then assembled in Miami. “Even the business cards are from Italy,” says Yaroslav Cholovsky, the store’s manager. Inside the boutique, a display of sturdy leather, python, and crocodile travel bags in red, yellow, brown, and black anchors one wall, with prices ranging from $4,595 for leather to $35,650 for crocodile. Nearby, stacks of brightly printed, wide-cuffed shirts line a shelf — from $450 for a linen shirt to $1,300 for a limited edition, hand-stitched shirt with Swarovski crystal buttons. Some shirts even have cut-outs to accommodate large watches. Jeans, many with the Billionaire logo or crocodile trim, are plentiful, as are high quality cotton t-shirts and polo shirts. “The idea is to have everything formal on this side and casual on the other side,” says Cholovsky as he moves around the well-lit space. Mannequins are fashionably put together. One is particularly interesting — it is dressed in an ensemble topped by a blue crocodile jacket, the store’s most luxurious, priced at $106,000. Outfitting a man from head to toe with top quality, chic couture is Billionaire’s objective. “Luxury is when you wear something, and you feel very comfortable,” Briatore said. “And this is what Billionaire is about.” TM

rom Capri to Miami, the look is linen — luxurious, clean, and crisp — super chic and super cool, literally. Linen is inspired by the natural beauty of light, perfect for creating a fresh décor. Antonio Aiello, owner, founder, and designer of the 100% Capri clothing line discovered that a home collection based on the same concept — created with the classic material in mind and taking its inspiration from the beautiful Italian island — outfitted a home or yacht interior with a signature Capri style. “Capri is very elegant in terms of décor,” says Aiello. “...white, soft textures, fresh climate, blue skies, and the natural sunlight of the island. The pureness of the island shows a simple approach to elegance that we revisit in our home collection.” The entrepreneur, whose impeccable style has earned him followers for the clothing line he debuted in 2000 and his home collection in 2006, is taking a natural next step. Aiello is applying his respect and knowhow for fine Italian craftmanship to interior design in Miami, the perfect atmosphere to be surrounded in 100% Capri. Aiello suggests we take a lesson from several centuries of the Italian island’s architecture and art when incorporating Capri style into a personal space. “The history of the island since the Roman age is rich and remnants still remain.” Capri was a favorite and frequent retreat of the Roman Emperor, Tiberius. “There is modern flair, too,” he says. In the 20th century, the Cerio family — who Aiello calls “the cosmopolitan royal family of Capri” — launched contemporary Capri style. “They added English influences and even some American touches.” The allure of Capri essence never veers far from its origins. “Capri style means clean lines and elegance — unique pieces that have something special about them.” Here are a few of Aiello’s favorites that help to round out the Capri look.

Flower Power Floral wallpapers in an antique frame are a way to add decorative contrast to a solid wall.

This isn’t your grandmother’s floral wallpaper — the latest mix and match design trend perks up a room.

By Kelley Atherton

elicate petals, bold blooms, and tropical plants are bringing back wallpaper as an interior design element in a big way. There’s something for every aesthetic that will transform walls into a perennial reminder of spring’s blooming flowers all year round. British brand Farrow and Ball, a trendsetter in the wallpaper industry, just released a new collection of floral prints. The premium paint and wallpaper company introduced its new Jasmine line of florals — a modern take on a romantic style that’s not likely to fall out of favor any time soon. Seemingly borrowed

directly from nature, its Jasmine line makes a statement with a small tight-knit pattern that highlights the leafy tropical jasmine flower. The Jasmine line is typical of a simplified and refined design of tropical flowers sprouting up all over sophisticated, yet modern, interiors. “Wallpaper design continues to be influenced by organic, natural forms, and the Jasmine line captures this trend,” says Sarah Cole, the creative director of Farrow and Ball. The papers come in new versions of classic colors: a smoky navy, stone, brick red, and cool green. “Neutral combinations will create a more understated, country look, while the more striking combinations

present more contemporary,” says Cole. For many, floral wallpapers conjure up images of Grandma’s house, but professional designers are mixing painted walls with papered walls to great effect. Floral wallpapers can work throughout the home in many ways, according to Frances Herrera, an interior designer based in Fort Lauderdale. “Keep in mind the total look you’re trying to create,” says Herrera. “Are you envisioning a room with a feminine and romantic feel? Playful and whimsical? Or elegant and sophisticated?” And rather than papering a whole wall, Cole suggests putting up a wallpaper section to act as a headboard for a bed or around a focal point like the fireplace as “accents of pattern and texture” to make the room “pop.” To introduce florals, Herrera suggests finding a design complementary to the focal point of the room. “Find harmonious colors or a coordinating pattern style on a couch or chair,” she says. “Marrying the floral wallpaper to the most prominent element in the room will ensure a cohesive look that is polished and professional.” Floral print wallpaper does have a downside, which is why the interior design experts caution on going too bold. Steer away from floral patterns that may appear too trendy or of the moment. “You’ll grow tired of it before the glue dries, not to mention that it will date the space.” Selecting a style that’s timeless allows for an easy update to the room without having to replace the wallpaper. If you’d like to introduce a bold pattern, try splashing large blooms or strong color across one wall; then use a complementary color on the other walls. This can work well in a small space that can be easily overwhelmed. A print with both a large pattern and eye-catching colors can create a dramatic look; but steer clear of cluttering the wall — the print needs to breathe for the effect to work, experts say. EASE INTO FLORAL STYLE Take the strongest color of the wallpaper and paint the main part of the wall; then use the wallpaper sparingly as trim along the bottom or as small, vertical trim. Do the opposite with the print as the main attraction and a solid color as trim along the door or baseboard.

Frances Herrera florals boost neutral colors.

GO BOLD A floral paper with a strong overall dominant color is a chance to go bold across the walls of a room. Use a lighter accent color on an opposing wall for hanging picture frames, clocks, and mirrors. With a floral background, bring in natural woods to create a country look; accent with brass and copper pieces for a turn of the 20th century motif — or metallic to add modern sophistication. Herrera likes to put florals in guest rooms for a bit of elegance, and also in small spaces, like powder rooms or entryways. “With floral wallpapers, even cozy environments gain pizzazz.” TM

The Star Island house, designed by architect Kobi Karp.

SHINING STAR Combining modern style with Florida tropicality, this $35 million bayside beauty is ready for its close up. By Beth Dunlop

“

For all of its romance, the home is practical and usable.

68 TRILLIONAIRE

Look at this,” says architect Kobi Karp as he efficiently opens up the room-height 30-foot doors that line the bayside façade of his newest house. “Now you have an outdoor room. You’re inside, but you’re also outside.” The house, on Star Island, is an homage — not just to its location, but to the decades-long history of architecture in Miami Beach. “The indoor-outdoor spaces which flow through the open sliding glass panels are inspired by traditional south Florida tropical spaces of covered terraces, shaded patios, and verandas,” says Karp. It was a primary goal for the architect to design something so open and airy that it almost seems to sit lightly on the land. Make no mistake: this is a big house — 16,000 square feet, 11 bedrooms, 11 full, plus 4 half baths — and a modern one. But for Karp, the goal was to make it feel like a “resort casita” that seemed to float between bodies of water. To enter the main building of this complex, you cross a lily pond. And then, like Karp says, you are inside — but in many ways, you are outside; floor-to-ceiling glass doors slide open to let the balmy bay breezes cool it naturally. The view is of the pool and then Biscayne Bay. It is all very tropical. Karp points out that he wanted the house to seem as if it were part of the environment, to create “an indoor-outdoor living experience.” In many ways, the house, on a 40,000-plus square foot lot, is a

compound. A separate wing — connected to the main house by the garage — faces the street and the medial park that runs through the spine of Star Island. Eventually, as the ivy grows, the street façade will also be green, like the parkway. The front wing crosses over the driveway — Karp refers to it as a “floating volume” — to create a portico entrance and houses a full guest suite — living room and kitchen included, as well as a gym that is complete with sauna and steam room. As part of the exercise offerings, there’s a lap pool on the roof over the garage. Out back, a cabana faces the bay and also offers more guest accommodations. The landscaping reinforces the house’s tropicality — gumbo limbo and oak trees and thickets of bamboo. The materials underfoot, also tropical, include coral rock and ipe wood. Karp’s goal for the main house — achieved, he says, through many conversations with Miami Beach’s chief planners and historic preservation officers — was to take some of the best ideas of the city’s historic architecture and express them with a completely modern voice. Thus, he says, “the indirect natural light washes the interior spaces and is infused thru north-facing clerestory windows of indirect lighting and floor to ceiling glass sliding panels, recessed within shadow boxes and deep balconies and terraces.” For inspiration, Karp looked at rooftop pools and solariums, along with the verandas and covered terraces found in the Mediterranean, Art Deco, and MiMo (Miami Modern) hotels that proliferated in Miami Beach. He wanted to have the structure embrace the ways in which these earlier buildings made the most of both sun and shade, both letting light in and filtering it out. The centerpiece of the design — it is a spec house that was for sale for $35 million at press time with listing agents Jill Eber and Jill Hertzberg of Coldwell Banker — is a dramatic sky lit three-story sculptural staircase that winds up to a rooftop “sunrise and sunset” viewing deck. This provides a spectacular far-reaching 360-degree perspective of Miami Beach and Miami, as well as Fisher Island and the port. For the approach, Karp drew on the rooftop gardens he encountered in Art Deco hotels. Likewise, the pool has a shallow “water frame” that is derived in concept from the pool at the Raleigh Hotel, and the casita — complete with more guest accommodations — and barbecue area invoke the concrete follies and shade structures that Morris Lapidus designed for Lincoln Road. And of course, with the romance comes the rigor of a practical, usable home, albeit a large and grand one. There’s an eat-in kitchen, a media room, and a downstairs bedroom that easily converts into an office. The master bedroom is separated from the other smaller family bedrooms. Even the bedrooms open up to become indoor-outdoor spaces. Inside, it’s breezy and balmy — especially when the tall glass sliding doors are open. Decorated with furniture that is as bright and white and modern as the architecture, the house simply sparkles, awash in sunlight. TM

hen the curtain fell on the finale of Florida Grand Opera’s Nabucco, there were resounding cheers of Bravo and Brava (opera etiquette when showing favor to the female star) from Miami to Fort Lauderdale, where the company performs in two venues — the Adrienne Arsht Center and the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. Giuseppe Verdi’s Nabucco is a seldom performed opera, but the venerable opera company is mixing it up a bit these days with a new CEO at its helm. Nabucco hasn’t been done at FGO for thirty years,” says Susan Danis, who took over the reins, “but most operagoers are familiar with the name Verdi.” In March, FGO rolls out a bigger-than-life production of Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca, which consistently ranks as one of the most performed operas throughout the world. Mostly everyone involved with the FGO production of Tosca has a story about the opera, in one way or another, that’s close to their hearts. For José Maria Condemi, the stage director, the subject matter of Tosca: abuse of power reminds him of his days growing up as a child in Argentina during the last years of the military regime. “My family was lucky enough never to experience the type of violence that Scarpia exerts on Tosca and Cavaradossi. But I’m drawn to the story of the opera and its themes of devotion to love and art, corruption of power, political bigotry, and fervent religiosity.”

voices are heavier, more lyrical; in the music, there are huge orchestrations. My conducting is so much more physical for Puccini.” When soprano Kara Shay Thomson makes her FGO debut as the seductive diva, Tosca, she’ll sing

“I find myself totally immersed when I am conducting Puccini.” the role for the 80th time of her career. “Yes, it’s a milestone,” she says by phone from her home in Cincinatti. She has sung the role with the Atlanta Opera, Portland Opera, Opera New Jersey, Santa Fe Opera, Pensacola Opera, Sarasota Opera, and Kentucky Opera, just to name a few. When asked why she’s become a go-to for Tosca, the answer is fairly simple: “She is the perfect fit for me, and she’s always been a part of who I am.” By singing the role in so many diverse productions, Thomson says she’s performed it on big stages and small stages. “I hit the mark,” she says. But no matter how many times she sings the demanding role, there’s always something thrilling. “I know where to give more and where I really have to pay attention — when I have to look at the conductor, for instance. It’s live theater, after all. This show has fire, live flames, knives; it’s really quite a circus.” Singing the role is an opera diva’s dream — renowned soprano Maria Callas became famous for her recordings of Tosca in the 1950s and ’60s; her interpretation was known as passionate and committed, yet refined. For FGO, Thompson shares the role with Jouvanca Jean-Baptiste who

performs Tosca in three performances on March 30, April 2, and April 5. As the villain you love to hate, baritone Todd Thomas plays the notorious Scarpia. While he’s sung the role in “eight or nine productions,” there’s something more personal this time. “It’s a dream for me to perform with FGO. I have sung with a lot of different companies in Florida. I’ve known Susan Danis since she was at Lake George. I’m thrilled to be with this company.” UNDER A NEW DIRECTION For Danis, who joined Florida Grand Opera in October 2012, Tosca fits perfectly in her season because of its dramatic flair and because it is opera for all. “Tosca is just a great piece of work that everyone wants to see.” The new general director and CEO of the Florida Grand Opera came to Miami as only the company’s fourth in 72 years. She was executive director of the Sarasota Opera since 1999, and said it was just a “hop, skip and a jump” to get here. She fit the bill of what FGO’s search committee was looking for. “We set out on a lengthy search

to find the ideal candidate — someone who has both passion for opera and established business success in arts management. We also sought a

“I know where to give more and where I really have to pay attention...” reliable leader and ambassador for the company with a true sense of community. Susan meets and exceeds all these requirements,” said William Hill, vice president of FGO and head of the CEO search committee. “There are very few women who run opera companies at my level. There are really only two of us that run major opera companies, half a dozen run sizeable companies, and the rest run small start-up companies,” she says. With an MBA — her concentration was in International Marketing, and she received her degree from the University of Hartford’s Paris Program — Danis mixes her love of opera with her business background, which she feels is necessary in today’s arts environment.

from getting her MBA, she arrived at the Lake George Opera Festival, where she spent eight years as managing director. “I thought I was just going to be the marketing director,” she says. While at Sarasota Opera, she was credited with growing that opera company’s budget from $3 million to $8 million, spearheaded a $20 million renovation of the company’s 1926 opera house, and adopted an unusual repertoire that sparked considerable interest at home and abroad. Among the Sarasota Opera’s many achievements were its famous Verdi Cycle, a staging of all of the composer’s operas, and its American Classics Series. “I certainly know what I want to do in South Florida. I have to be responsible to the community; we have to keep performing. That’s why it’s called performing arts — we don’t exist if we aren’t performing for an audience.” This season is Danis’s first that she programmed entirely. (In her first season, she continued what Robert Heuer had already established. Heuer, whom she replaced, was the head of FGO for more than a quarter century.)

“In simple terms, I basically tried to lay out something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue — test the waters and introduce the audience to something different.” She opened the season with Mourning Becomes Electra, Marvin David Levy’s contemporary opera, based on the play by Eugene O’Neill and an FGO company debut. The season closes with Jules Massenet’s Thaïs, which is performed in French with English supertitles. FGO last performed the 19th century opera almost 40 years ago. CULTIVATING AUDIENCE Danis is also embracing developing new audience members by introducing “tweet seats.” “Research says that social media builds awareness with a certain demographic. A select group is allowed to use Twitter and tweet about the performance during the show.” In addition, she’s trying to make opera relevant to the public by presenting an Opera Lab, where FGO artisans go out to schools — “the costume and make-up departments work with students in the schools to let them know what kind of career

Of course, opera isn’t opera without lots of color, costumes, and big hair. Behind the scenes at Tosca, there will be 12 people helping with speedy-quick costume changes. Before the production even arrives on the stage, six sewers will have taken care of alterations. Camilla Haith, costume director, will have made her trip to Toronto to Malabar Limited, a theatrical costumer

S. and James L. Knight Foundation as part of its Knight Arts Challenge, FGO is bringing lesserknown operas to unique venues throughout South Florida. No Exit, a contemporary and edgy oneact opera by Andy Vores, is the second installment in FGO’s Unexpected Operas in Unexpected Places, an adaptation of existentialist philosopher JeanPaul Sartre’s celebrated play of the same name. The opera, about three damned souls who are condemned to spend all of eternity together in a room with no exits, which they eventually discover is hell, will be performed at the aptly named NoWhere Lounge on Washington Avenue in Miami Beach. “It will be very exciting to bring this opera to a lounge setting on Miami Beach,” says Danis. FGO is also participating in the Knight Foundation’s Random Acts of Culture. “It’s a way to bring classical artists out of concert halls and into daily life.” In 2010, FGO surprised shoppers at the Macy’s shoe department in Miami with six performances of “Toreador” from Carmen. “To me, these things are as important as what we put on our mainstage,” says Danis.

who has a specific opera department from where the Tosca costumes will arrive. But this isn’t off the rack dressing — costuming a large-scale production like Tosca has its challenges. “I have to pull costumes specifically for our cast, and I like to see several versions of what works. Some colors work on some people; some don’t. So there’s a lot of selection based on who’s singing. But then, when we have a double cast like Tosca, I need to select a presentation that will be similar, no matter which cast is singing — so everything is cohesive at all times,” says Haith. Haith loves the challenge of a show like Tosca and a large cast production like Nabucco. “I have to admit, I am a sucker for the big spectacle.” She did, however, enjoy costuming Mourning Becomes Electra. “The most difficult part of that show was trying to find Civil War uniforms. I had a moment of blind panic. But I researched and found out that the theater that I thought had them had sold them to someone else. As an opera, it hasn’t been performed that many times,” she says. FGO rented some of the Mourning costumes, but also had to build some. “Color was very important in telling that story,” she says. “We used every technique in the book for that opera. Sometimes you do something and you know it’s special right from the beginning. That was one of those times.”

hile not recognized as an art mecca per se — although we are known for Art Basel — Miami is home to five of The World’s Top 200 collectors, according to ARTnews Magazine. Among them is the renowned collector Martin Z. Margulies. Considered one of the best contemporary collections in the world by curators, critics, artists, and other collectors, the Margulies Collection focuses on seminal works by important artists from some of the major movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Margulies Collection has been housed in Miami since the late 1970s, always with a portion of the collection open to the public. In 1999, the Margulies Collection at the WAREhOUSE opened in the Wynwood Arts District of Miami, where the public is invited to browse. Katherine Hinds has been the curator of the Margulies Collection since 1982. She organizes the collection, annual exhibitions, educational programs, special collaborative exhibitions, and an international loan program. “When I first saw

the collection in the early 1980s, I immediately recognized several works from my art history studies, including Creede I from Frank Stella’s Copper Series from 1961, which was a major moment in American minimalism.” American abstract painter Frank Stella was recognized for his innovations before he was twenty-five. In 1970, he became the youngest artist ever to be honored with a retrospective at MoMA. The artist continues to live and work in New York. In early 2014, he held a solo exhibition featuring 14 recent works, primarily from the Scarlatti K Series at Peter Freeman, Inc. in New York City. Stella’s work — donated by the Martin Z. Margulies Foundation — can be seen as part of the Margulies Collection in major art institutions in South Florida, including the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami, the New World Symphony on Miami Beach, and the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida in Gainesville. In addition, Stella’s work is included in the collections of NSU’s Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale and the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach.

For Fisher Island Magazine’s Art Talk feature, Katherine Hinds interviewed Stella. “It was a lively conversation on art, race car driving, Baroque music, and the artist’s recent foray into the new technology of 3-D printing as part of his art making process,” she says.

KH: Let’s talk about your work that the Margulies Foundation donated to the New World Symphony building on Miami Beach, which was designed by Frank Gehry. The painting which is placed in the lobby has a sculptural quality. It protrudes ten feet from the wall and is made of stainless steel and aluminum tubing. It works so beautifully with the materials and shape of the building, itself. FS: Yes, that work is from the Bali series — like the island. Originally, I was going to do that in bamboo, but it’s not practical — or at least I didn’t have the patience for it and bamboo turned out to be a lot more difficult a material than I thought. Anyway, it doesn’t bend very easily. But that work is part of the Bali series. KH: Do you know Frank Gehry personally? FS: Yes, I’ve known Frank Gehry since Los Angeles when we were both younger, as they say. I’ve known him for a long, long time, and I’ve always loved his work, and so it works out —we get along. KH: Have you seen the work in the lobby there? FS: I’ve only seen the picture — no, I haven’t gotten there yet.

KH: Well, I hope one day you see it; it just works so perfectly. We donated a work of yours from the Circuit Series from the 1980s to the Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida. That series was inspired by your interest in the racing scene. Are you still involved in car racing? FS: Well, I’m still a big fan, and I know Hurley Haywood who is a well known Florida driver. He’s a famous driver for Le Mans and long distance racing. KH: You’re friendly with him? FS: Yeah, I’m pretty friendly with Hurley. When things get tough in New York, I have to go to driving school — Hurley is my instructor. I went to driving school — actually, I was in Birmingham, Ala., driving just a few months ago at the Porsche school. KH: Who are some of the younger, emerging artists that interest you today? FS: Well, I know a couple of young guys from the Brooklyn scene. David Lukowski is one that I like, and another one is Dominic Nurre. And these kids — I mean they’re not kids, but they’re younger than I am. I’m probably in the submerging artists category myself now, but I also like a lot of the young artists from Brazil. I used to go down there a lot, and I like the artists Tunga, Nuno Ramos, Frida Baranek, and Ernesto Neto; I think he’s really good, too. KH: Yes, we have a major work by Ernesto Neto that we’ve installed many times over the years at the Margulies Collection at the WAREhOUSE. We think he is a major artist. FS: And I have a soft spot for women artists like Sarah

Sze and Julie Mehretu, and I’ve known forever Judy Pfaff and Lynda Benglis. I like their work because there’s such a pressure on installation art, but women seem to be a little lighter and more transparent, and it’s more palatable anyway for me — more interesting. KH: I want to ask you about your experiences in New York in the early years. Soon after graduating from Princeton in 1958, four works from your series The Black Paintings were exhibited at MoMA, which is considered a seminal moment in American Minimalism. Who were your close artist friends during those early years? FS: Well, Carl Andre and Hollis Frampton. He’s a sculptor, and Hollis is a well-known photographer, who unfortunately died young. I was very friendly with Ellsworth Kelly, Jack Youngerman, and Larry Poons — and of course, Bob Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns and John Chamberlain. I saw a lot of John — I really liked him. And then there were a couple of older guys — Friedel Dzubas and then Barney Newman was friendly — he was nice for an old guy. That was a pretty good group of people. KH: In 1984, you presented a series of lectures on Caravaggio and Rubens at Harvard. As a practicing artist today, which historical painters, sculptors, or architects are you thinking about? FS: Well, one artist I think about is Antonio Allegri Correggio (Italian, born ca. 1490); he’s a little earlier than Caravaggio. With the new work I am working on — like the one from the Scarlatti K Series that the Margulies Collection just acquired — the artist I think a lot about is Gian Lorenzo Bernini (Italian, born 1598). You can see the Baroque quality in the sculpture. And the other artist I think about all the time that doesn’t really seem relevant — but is relevant because it’s sort of the other side of the coin — is Helen Frankenthaler. I really think about Helen’s work a lot, and I guess it’s, in part, because I think it’s so original and what I wouldn’t be able to do,

no matter how hard I tried. And it seems like the work is really difficult, but really powerful — so I think about it a lot. KH: You brought up the Scarlatti K series, and I noticed that the medium you employ is to paint on acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, a type of polymer or plastic. FS: Yes, it’s a plastic made using 3-D printing technology, essentially. KH: The name of one of your new series is Scarlatti K — Scarlatti was an Italian Baroque musician — and earlier you mentioned you’re thinking about artists from the Baroque period. What is the reference for Scarlatti K? FS: The K refers to Ralph Kirkpartrick. He was a Scarlatti scholar, but he was also a harpsichord player/ performer. He’s the one who organized the Scarlatti sonatas as a scholarly project. KH: That’s very interesting that you began your career as the artist who was the major force behind Minimalism — the aesthetic of “less is more” — and now at this point in your career, you are interested in the Baroque — the aesthetic of Maximalism. One can see the Baroque quality in the Scarlatti K series. KH: If you could spend a day in the life of any person, who would that be? FS: Oh, I don’t know. There was a French mathematician from the 18th century— his name was Gaspard Monge. What is interesting about him is his work with geometry and his ideas which influenced the architectural principles of plan and elevation. Monge brought out the idea of perspective and how you measured going back in space. I think a lot about Cubism and Modernism and the way that Cubism is really about plan and elevation. And it’s the geometry behind it which really holds it up. I like being able to make structures — building paintings in one way or another. TM

hen Stanley Cohen got started in business, he became successful because he had a larger vision than the guy next to him. When he began helping a friend sell children’s records in New York, he took the records into supermarkets because that would be the place to target customers. They flew off the shelves. Then he began selling record players to go with them — they flew off the shelves quicker than he could manufacture them. In 2009, the retired toy manufacturer had a vision while sitting on the couch in his East Hampton, N.Y., home and watching a movie with his wife. “It was ‘Music of the Heart’ starring Meryl Streep. She was playing a woman named Roberta Guaspari, a music teacher in East Harlem, who took 12 children and gave them violins and taught them how to play. You could see the progression of the children and their self esteem and confidence, and because of the violin playing, they started doing better in school.” Cohen had already decided when he came back to Miami that he wanted to “do something to help the city.” And after seeing the movie he decided, “Something like this is it.” Cohen, himself, had played the piano and says from first-hand experience that learning a musical instrument means more than meets the eye. “It helped me when I was a kid. You’re learning a skill, and as you get better and better, it builds your self confidence. And, playing in an orchestra helps you learn how to be part of a team.” He discovered that James Judd, the former music director of the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, had begun a program with the support of a John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Knight Arts Challenge grant. “Maestro Judd would take professional musicians and go into schools to play music for the kids. I went with him to one school to see how it worked,

and the kids were running all over. But when the musicians started, they sat down and were completely mesmerized.” This was the original Miami Music Project (MMP). Cohen’s enthusiasm led Judd to ask him to be on the board. “I went to a meeting. They asked me what I thought of their organization, and I said, ‘I think your principle is perfect — your mission of transforming children through music is perfect — and it’s just what I want to do.’ “ After he joined the board, however, Cohen soon told them one additional morsel: “I think we’re doing this all wrong. We’re playing for the kids, but they aren’t learning anything. Why don’t we take the money and give them instruments — teach them how to play instruments?” In 2010, the MMP Orchestral Academy began its first chapter in Doral with 17 students from John L. Smith Elementary. In five months, the academy grew to 150 students. In 2012, the Little Haiti chapter opened with 65 students, mostly from Toussaint Louverture Elementary, and grew to 120 in six months. And, just this past January, MMP — in association with Miami Children’s Initiative — added a third chapter in Liberty City at the Charles R. Drew K-8 Center. The social transformation through music program is now based on the El Sistema model, founded in Venezuela 35 years ago by José Antonio Abreu for an under-served population of children who were in need of music education. Cohen, who remains the chairman of the board for MMP, wants to raise the awareness of the program. “I hope to be on the board until we reach the goals that I’ve set for the organization, and that is to have this program in as many schools as possible in MiamiDade County.” When asked if MMP has developed any performers destined for Carnegie Hall, Cohen says, “The program isn’t so much about building musicians — it’s about building good model citizens.” TM

or artist Hugo França, having his furnishings integrated into the landscape of the beautiful Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden makes sense. “The wood,” says the Brazilian designer, “comes from a tropical forest — so it all just fits here so perfectly.” França’s pieces are a different kind of sculpture — large chairs scooped out of abandoned canoes he buys from the Pataxó Indians, an indigenous tribe in Brazil, chaise lounges carved from the trunk of a Pequi tree with leather cross weaving in the center to allow for the body to contour into the piece, and a bench from a felled tree, where the natural grooves show through. His works are made exclusively of reclaimed wood from felled, burned, or dead trees found in Brazil. While attending an opening Sunday brunch celebrating the outdoor exhibit as part of the Design at Fairchild season, people walked up to França to

share their excitement about his behemoth furniture. They recounted their visceral experiences with the pieces as they felt the smooth wood under their bodies while they sat on one of his large “couches” or sculpted chairs. Through a translator, he tells me in Portuguese that their instincts to interact with the sculptures were entirely on point. “This is not art that you can’t touch or feel,” França says. “The whole idea is to become integrated into the art. The connection is the main point — that you become one with nature and the tree,” he explains. PATH TO THE AMAZON In the past 20 years, he says he has created about 1,800 of the pieces, but he didn’t set out to be a tree-carving artist. It began in 1982 when he became tired of working at a computer job in Sâo Paulo. His university degree is in industrial engineering, but “I

realized the corporate world was not for me,” he says. França wanted to live closer to nature and he found that Trancoso, a tiny fishing village in Bahia in northeastern Brazil, was a place where he could live a simple life. “The village had a very strong tradition with handcrafted pieces of wood,” says França. The indigenous people developed a unique woodworking technique using charred wood from the Amazon region. “I learned from the tribe and suddenly everything came together,” he says. The wood that França reclaims comes from destroyed trees left over from deforestation. “When I saw all this damage and saw so much wood being wasted, I couldn’t help but think this was a resource that we are losing.” A PERFECT MATCH For Fairchild, a public place where conserving the world of tropical plants is paramount, this artist — who is dedicated to creating sustainable works — couldn’t have been a better match. “There is no greater way to showcase the gardens than França’s work,” says Nanette Zapata, Fairchild’s Chief Operating Office and Art Curator. “The art that we like to work with is something that has a compelling story behind it — so that we can integrate the concept as art and nature being connected to one another. This work melds so beautifully with the gardens. França reveals the past life beauty of the trees and creates awe-inspiring works of art that are functional, useable, and pragmatic.” The way França’s pieces are exhibited at Fairchild is purposeful, too. “We don’t like just dropping pieces of art in the ground. We contemplate location. For these works, we wanted them to be part of Fairchild, part of the gardens’ texture and conversation — so it was important to create that kind of perspective,” says Zapata. She mentions the chaise lounges that are placed strategically under beautiful palm trees. “The visual impact when someone looks up, while lying on one of these chaises, and views the palm fronds from that perspective is exhilarating.” Cristina Grajales of the Cristina Grajales Gallery in New York City curated the exhibit. “The works are so accessible, and seeing the art becomes a relationship between the body and the piece and nature. And we thought, ‘Let’s engage the public in these pieces; it shouldn’t just be a visual experience, but a physical experience, too.’ People are so trained not to touch art; but here visitors are invited to touch the sculptures, sit on them, and be part of the detail of the piece — from the wood used to the texture to the color and the shape.” LIMITED EDITIONS The artist/designer makes it clear, however, that his “interference” with the wood is minimal. Instead, the trunk,

the roots, and the natural shape of the wood guides his eye. “It’s kind of a dialogue with co-creation,” he says. In each individual block, he finds the functionality in the sculpture. He talks about the attraction he has to the roots. “It’s the strongest part of the tree — it’s where the nutrients are, and it’s where the wood has to struggle against the earth — and many times, it is the place where the wood has the most amazing shapes.” He finds the wood by trekking deep into the jungle with local farmers and indigenous people as his guides. “The locals are happy to point out some of the best pieces.” Each piece takes about 2 months to produce and, because of the size, França has a team — “masters of the chainsaw” — that work out of his main workshop in Trancoso. He’s since moved back to São Paulo, but frequents the studio in Trancoso. His works are held in private collections and are favorites of designers such as Kelly Wearstler and Philippe Starck, who have added França’s works to the décor of the Tides Hotel in South Beach, the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica, and the Hotel Fasano in Rio de Janeiro. Private homes in Hawaii, St. Bart’s, and the Hamptons also possess França’s works. “They fit so well in so many environments — not only outdoor or in a beautiful garden, but inside against concrete, raw materials, and glass,” he says. Inside, the pieces will last forever. Outdoors, the strong wood is resistant to water and fire because of an oil resin. “Inside, however, a yearly wax and varnish will keep the sculpture in pristine order,” he suggests. França is beginning projects in urban environments to create public furniture. “Public Furniture, Urban Trees” is now taking place in Vancouver, where the designer is part of the artist-residency program as part of the Vancouver Biennale. He’ll use condemned trees from streets and cities to create the furniture. A similar project for the five boroughs of New York is currently in the fundraising stages. TM

Hugo França’s designs are on exhibit at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden through May 31. Entry to the exhibit is included in the price of regular admission. Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is located at 10901 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables. For info, call 305-667-1651 or fairchildgarden.org.

BEYOND PRIVATE For $400,000, the only people on your Caribbean vacation are you and those you’ve selected to share your heavenly hideaway. By Michelle F. Solomon

eter Island, about 1,200 miles from Miami, has more of its share of inviting draws. This British Virgin Islands resort, five miles off the shores of picturesque Tortola, is an escape from everything. And its designed to be that way. Rush hour here means five or six people walking on one of five private beaches, and the only sound of motorized vehicles are service automobiles and trucks from Peter Island Resort. Best of all, for those who want to reign over their own private island, 1,800 acres is available for rental — known in Peter Island speak as the “Island Buyout.” Rates for the buyout start at $410,000, but the final cost is determined by how much customization is requested — from a no-fly zone to keep airplanes and helicopters from overhead — yes, Peter Island can do that and has for celebrity weddings, and also when they hosted the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition shoot in 2011 — to anything imaginable

required to make your stay at Peter Island the ultimate in exclusivity and relaxation. This best kept secret island has been a hideout for sophisticated travelers, sailors, and yachtsmen since Christopher Columbus discovered the Virgin Islands in 1493. Remnants of Blackbeard the Pirate and Sir Francis Drake show that these historical characters were drawn to Peter Island, too. 1,800 ACRES TO YOURSELF As the king or queen of your own island for six days and five nights (the length of the Island Buyout stay), there will be no other guests but your invitees and Peter Island’s resort staff and its Caribbean inhabitants — mostly amphibians and birds. The resort has five white sand beaches, 52 rooms and suites, three top-drawer villas, tennis courts, two restaurants, and one of the best spas in the Caribbean. A private yacht charter from St. Thomas or Beef Island Airport gets

you and your guests to the island; meals and drinks are also included for up to 130 people. Or opt for a 30-minute helicopter ride from St. Thomas to Peter Island and take in the sights from the air. There are also charter flights available; or for those with their own private yachts, Peter Island mega yacht marina is full service and available for docking. “We do have guests that want to fly their private jets to St. Thomas, and then we can helicopter them from St. Thomas to Peter Island where they land on our helipad,” says George Aquino, vice president and managing director of Peter Island Resort. When I asked about the most attractive amenity for visitors to Peter Island Resort, Aquino had an instant response: “The best amenity is how you define your own luxury. If you define it as being one with nature, that amenity is here; if it’s beautiful beaches, you have five of them to choose from; if it is a spa retreat, ours is world class; if it’s privacy, that is probably our most treasured amenity.” There are scores of reasons why those familiar with Fisher Island Club will find Peter Island to possess a comfort factor — much like a familiar family member. “When we were looking to redo the resort in 1999, Fisher Island was one of the resorts we visited to find inspiration. We looked at how guests were treated — the security, the spa, the common shared areas, the staff, the ferry — what it was that made Fisher Island Club so unique. We felt there was a certain level of ‘the best that life has to offer,’ and that’s what we feel we have here, too.” For those who want to get to the mainland during their stay, there are a number of options, but the most popular is, of course, the ferry ride from the Peter Island private launch to Tortola. Eight ferry trips are scheduled per day, and each is about a 20-minute ride to the mainland. HEAVENLY HIDEAWAYS The accommodations at Peter Island range from ocean view rooms to suites and private villas, known on the island as “Heavenly Hideaways.” “They are magnificent — each with spectacular views, each with a private pool, and every villa has its own villa team, including a housekeeper and a chef,” according to Aquino. Four and six bedroom villas include a valet and chauffeured vehicle. The villa team is a personal on-call team who are at the ready 24/7 throughout a villa guest’s stay. While many villa guests opt to have meals prepared by their chefs inside the villa, when it’s time to venture out of the private hideaway and dine at one of the island restaurants, their personal villa butler and staff are the ones who serve them. “It’s not the

restaurant team serving the villa guests. It’s a person who knows their likes and their dislikes without even asking,” says Aquino. Should you just want a vacation away from it all, Peter Island has resort packages available for any length of stay and any amount of guests. These packages don’t require you take over the entire island — unless someone else has decided they want their own privacy for a week. In that case, the island is all theirs. TM

ark Lakin splits his time between revise to Miami Beach and New York City’s Greenwich Village — but most days of the year, the adventure travel/photographer can be found leading a bow and arrow hunt with a nomadic tribe in Mozambique, or spearheading a swim with polar bears in the Arctic. But Lakin and fellow adventure seeker, Marc Chafiian, felt proprietary keeping all this adventure to themselves. So, they started Epic Road, a New Yorkbased luxury travel boutique company that creates customized trips. This globe-trotting pair aren’t your typical tour operators — yes, their trips are exotic, but they are more than that. “Our hope is that our guests’ experiences become a catalyst for understanding,” says

Lakin, whose parents, Martin and Ingrid Ain, live full time in Miami Beach. Epic offers what is called transformative travel — a new genre of vacationing that bridges the gap between experiential travel (a.k.a. safari trips to Africa) and humanitarian (malaria prevention) and conservation initiatives (interacting with rare and endangered wildlife). A self-proclaimed adrenaline junky, Lakin gets a rush from designing bespoke itineraries for each client. “Each one-of-a-kind immersion blends luxury and adventure with unique access to transformative experiences.” Discerning travelers won’t be roughing it — accommodations are five-star and the immersion

experiences are, too. “You can’t have guests staying in an incredible lodge, and then take them on a mediocre tour.” Epic Road has partnerships with high-end hotels, respected charities, and social entrepreneurs such as Virgin Unite, the non-profit foundation of the Virgin Group — founded by Richard Branson and The Bodhi Tree Foundation, which was begun in 2008 by philanthropy-minded business leaders whose lives were changed by becoming global humanitarians through travel. Lakin is on the board of directors of The Bodhi Tree Foundation. Because of their connection to some of the best conservation and humanitarian groups, Lakin and Chafiian have access to unique initiatives. Some of the interactive activities include helping to microchip a rhino — “In doing this, the traveler is contributing to anti poaching efforts,” says Chafiian — geotagging leatherback turtles, or distributing solar lights to families without access to electricity in Namibia. Lakin stresses that there are no “fixed trips,” and that each is customized for clients. “We spend a lot of time finding out where our clients have been, what they enjoyed about it, and what it was about the place that interested them.” Trips can last from two days to eight days with many of the arrivals and departures via private charters. Adventure can come in the form of a dog-sledding safari, where guests camp overnight

and feed and care for their dog team. “This trip isn’t only an outstanding way to explore the Arctic landscape, but guests form a bond with the friendly, obedient canine guides who will lead them on the adventure of a lifetime,” says Lakin. Likoma Island, Malawi, has a different vibe where guests are served three gourmet meals a day, including a nighttime dinner on a linen-covered table under a sky painted with stars. Likoma guests snorkel from a private dock through the serene crystal clear fresh waters of Lake Malawi along a beautiful reef, and arrive a few minutes later at an alfresco breakfast on the island’s pristine white beaches. Transformative travel, the business partners explain, is not so much about what happens on the ground, but what happens in the traveler’s mind. “That’s where the most important transformation occurs and this can cause a ripple effect that can last a lifetime,” says Chafiian. Because of the customized nature of Epic Road, guests can participate in as much or as little of the immersive experience as they’d like. For those who want more of a luxury vacation than an adventure, Epic can set aside as little as one afternoon for a conservation excursion. The company has planned and hosted multi-generational family trips, couples’ getaways, philanthropic endeavors, and even wedding safaris — now, that would be a story to tell the grandchildren someday. Epic Road’s trips currently take travelers to Africa, the Arctic and parts of Southeast Asia. “These are the places we know well,” says Lakin. Eventually, they have plans to expand to all corners of the globe. TM

When I look back I think, “That was so crazy.” But when you’re in it, you’re just playing you don’t realize at the time.

86 TRILLIONAIRE

iami’s own tennis superstar, Mary Joe Fernández, will be broadcasting for ESPN at this year’s Sony Open at Crandon Park Tennis Center on Key Biscayne. The Sony Open takes place on the famous purple courts from March 17-30. Fernández was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, but came to Miami when she was 6 months old with her parents — Jose, from Spain, and her mother, Silvia, from Cuba. She started playing tennis at the age of 3. She starred in a golden era of women’s tennis, competing at a time when the WTA was dominated by players like Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova, Monica Seles, Lindsay Davenport, Jennifer Capriati, and Gabriela Sabatini. Fernández won seven WTA single titles, two Grand Slam doubles titles, and three Olympic medals. She created history in 1985 when she became the youngest player ever to win a match at the Grand Slam at the age of 14. FIM: How does it feel coming back to Miami? MJF: My whole family is there, so it’s great. I love Key Biscayne. You’re a little bit on a vacation island when you’re there. I lived in Miami until I got married. (She lives in a suburb of Cleveland with her two children and husband, Tony Godsick, a sports agent known for representing Roger Federer.) FIM: You’ve covered the Sony Open previously. What was one of the most memorable matches for you? MJF: Last year’s dramatic final between Andy Murray and David Ferrer was pretty spectacular.

FIM: What are some of the other highlights you’ve seen since you started your broadcasting career in 2000? MJF: There have been a lot. Seeing Jennifer Capriati, one of my Olympic teammates win the Australian Open, was very special. I’ve been lucky to be part of so many good matches — you get to see a little bit of everything. FIM: How does the Sony Open compare to some of the big name tennis tournaments? MJF: It’s right up there. It’s one of the top combined events — men and women. It has a lot of prize money — $5 million, combined, last year — and all the top players compete. Anyone attending is guaranteed to see a superstar. FIM: Do you miss not playing? MJF: I retired in 1999, and I was able to start right away in broadcasting in 2000; so I never really had the chance to miss the sport. I love watching tennis, figuring out the strategy, and looking into the mental side of it, and trying to dissect that. For me, to be able to go to these events and have the bird’s eye view I have — it’s a treat. FIM: How did it feel to be the youngest player ever to win a Grand Slam? MJF: When I look back I think, “That was so crazy.” But when you’re in it, you’re just playing you don’t realize at the time. And now I have a 12-year-old daughter and I think that puts it into perspective for me, and makes me realize, “Wow, that was pretty cool.” FIM: Have you ever played on the courts at Fisher Island Club? MJF: Yes, I used to play there all the time. (Gardnar) Mulloy was the pro. I would go visit him. I used to practice on the grass to get ready for Wimbledon. TM — Michelle F. Solomon Serena Williams

Gulfstream G650

JET SET

The Gulfstream G650 is the most sensational private plane on the planet — but if you want one, you’ll have to wait.

prah Winfrey may be thinking about trading in her Bombardier Global Express. Jackie Chan may want to give the heave-ho to his Embraer Legacy 650, and Tom Cruise may be considering a new Gulfstream to replace his G450. There’s a new plane that has private jet owners salivating and eagerly signing up on a wait list, despite a backlog that extends to 2017. Its price tag is a hefty $65 million, but there’s no doubting, it’s the best that money can buy. “The G650 has been the most successful business jet introduction in the industry. It flies faster and farther than any other business jet, has the largest and quietest cabin, and includes the latest technologies,” says Steve Cass, vice president, communications at Gulfstream Aerospace. At its maximum takeoff weight, the Gulfstream G650 can climb to 51,000 feet — above bad weather and congested commercial jet routes — in just 22 minutes. With two Rolls Royce engines, the plane travels at nearly the speed of sound, and is much faster than commercial jets. A top speed of Mach .925 or 704 mph makes it the fastest certified civilian aircraft. The aircraft

has a range of 7,000 nautical miles, which means it can easily go from Los Angeles to Tokyo and still have fuel left over — plus, make quicker time. Inside the cabin, there’s plenty of room as comfort figures prominently into the G650. Buyers choose from 12 different floor plans, and can customize the interior look of their planes. The floor plans allow for custom configurations, too, with the ability to accommodate up to 19 passengers. There’s no need to lift a finger either on the Gulfstream 650 — everything in the cabin can be controlled with a built in iPhone app — from the large HD televisions to the soothing

console lighting and automatic opening and closing of the shades. Top-grade leather chairs swivel and luxury foot rests extend; plus, the seats are wider than even the best in first class. If you really want to stretch out, the chairs, of course, lie flat for sleeping. Those choosing the stateroom layout get a fold-down double bed and a pop-up 26-inch television. Luxury is in the air as well, as the G650’s structure and engines are designed so that the cabin can be pressured to a higher level than normal. The result is that passengers feel like they’re breathing at an altitude of 3,000 to 4,000 feet — not at 8,000 feet like on commercial jets. That makes flying less tiring and more comfortable. The higher pressure also creates a quieter cabin for easier conversation — no shouting over the whir of the engines and deafening interior noises. Yes, money can buy quiet. The cockpit is more spacecraft than airplane. An infrared camera projects a “real world” image for the pilot on a display — so the Captain can clearly see a mountain range, runway, or vehicles on the taxiways in dense fog or the blackest night.

Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop founder Preston Henn put down $1 million in April 2012. The 100-foot long jet arrived at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport on Dec. 27, 2012. Steve Wynn got one, too. At last count, there was an order book of about 200 customers. The rest of us will just have to wait.

Twizzle

SUPER SWANKY SAILBOATS Sailing yachts are starting to appeal to motor yacht enthusiasts who are looking for the luxury of amenities in interiors and the same good performance — yet offer a bit more of a sporty take on pleasure cruising. Then there are those who are concerned about the environment and are turning to sailing yachts to feel as if they are not leaving as much of a carbon

that combines super-yacht amenities with the glide of a family cruiser. Twizzle is also built to be sailable in all climates and conditions for years of round-the-world cruising. Twizzle represents all that a sailing yacht can be with its three luxurious cabins and six crew cabins, which can accommodate 11 crew, including separate

footprint — or boat print. “Sailing yachts don’t burn as much fuel, so you’re not polluting the environment as much,” says John Cichanowicz of Burgess Yachts. “And you feel closer to the sea in a different way on a sailing vessel.” When anyone in the know talks about sailing yachts, Maltese Falcon — a yacht that exemplifies high performance, clean style, and ultra high luxury — is sure to be mentioned. But mostly what sailing fanatics drool over is her revolutionary sailing system — the Falcon Rig, which sets a new milestone in yachting history — 3 self-standing and rotating masts hosting 15 sails for a total sail area of 2,400 square meters (25,791 ft square). Yep, that’s smooth sailing. Then there’s Twizzle, a 57.5m custom-designed sailing yacht

quarters for the captain. The interior is lush, and bathrooms are sculpted from single blocks of solid Perlino marble. This isn’t your grandpappy’s sailboat — it’s high-tech all the way as most of the sailing super-yachts are. Guests can control lighting, air conditioning, and television through their own iPads from anywhere on the yacht. “With these ultra contemporary sailing vessels, you have interior space, plus lavish appointments,” says Cichanowicz. Cost is considerably less for a sailing vessel than a yacht, both on the front end of buying and to operate the boat. Because it isn’t as heavy as a standard super-yacht, it burns less fuel — and when the wind is right, have the cap’n turn off the motor and use natural power. “That’s when these super sailing yachts really show their stripes in a different light,” says Cichanowicz.

Boat BOASTS Palm Beach boasts $1.2 billion worth of boats, yachts, and accessories — well, yes, probably during season, but definitely during the Palm Beach International Boat Show (March 20-23). It’s only one of five boat shows in the country with that kind of inventory, and it’s regarded as one of the top ten yachting events in the U.S. Take in the panoramic views of Palm Beach Island as you stroll along the super-yacht dock where every vessel clocks in at more than 200-feet.

ASPARAGUS & SHRIMP RISOTTO The perfect recipe for a spring dinner party is fresh, light and lively. by Daniel Boulud Asparagus and Shrimp Risotto

CHEF DANIEL BOULUD James Beard Foundation awards for Outstanding Restaurant, Outstanding Restaurateur, Best Chef, New York City, Outstanding Chef of the Year 1. Cut off the top 2 inches of each asparagus spear and set aside. Cut the next 2 to 3 inches of each spear into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; discard the remaining portion. 2. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus rounds and blanch for 4 minutes. Drain, hold under cold running water until cool, then set aside. 3. Put 4 asparagus tips, one-quarter of the asparagus rounds, and 3 tablespoons water in a blender, and purée until smooth. Set aside. 4. Pour the chicken stock into a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat; reduce the heat to a simmer.

arly spring through summer is the peak season for one of my favorite vegetables, asparagus. I remember helping to harvest it on our modest farm as a boy. The key is to not pull asparagus from the earth, but to bend the stalks so they snap off at soil level, leaving the crowns underground to grow a new batch of shoots within a few days. This lesson about respecting ingredients resonates in my recipe, which uses the whole stalk: the tender tips for garnish and woodier stems for puree inside of a creamy risotto. The bright green spears contrast beautifully with the soft mascarpone-laced rice and delicious sweet pink shrimp. (Try to get your shrimp locally from the Florida Gulf!). By using local and seasonal ingredients, you can elevate this already impressive preparation to the perfect centerpiece for a spring dinner party. Makes 4 servings 16 spears asparagus, peeled and trimmed 6 cups unsalted chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth 4 tablespoons unsalted butter 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion 1 cup Arborio rice 1/2 cup dry vermouth or dry white wine

2 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese Salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 clove garlic, crushed 1 sprig rosemary 16 s mall Gulf shrimp, peeled, deveined, and each cut into 3 pieces

5. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, just until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes longer. Add the vermouth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pot. Cook, stirring once or twice, until the liquid has evaporated. Add 1 cup of the simmering stock. Cook, stirring often, until the rice absorbs most of the liquid. Add another cup of the hot stock. Continue cooking, stirring and adding the stock, 1 cup at a time, until 5 cups have been added. At this point, taste the rice. Usually, the rice will need another 1/2 to 1 cup stock and a few more minutes to cook. 6. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the Parmesan, mascarpone, and the asparagus purée. Add the remaining asparagus rounds and stir to warm the asparagus; remove from the heat. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Cover and keep warm. 7. Warm the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining asparagus tips, garlic, and rosemary, and cook, while tossing, until the asparagus is tender but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the shrimp and continue to cook until cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Discard the garlic and rosemary. To Serve: Spoon the risotto into warm soup plates, top with the warmed asparagus tips and shrimp, and serve immediately.

TASTE OF

Spring

s much of nature awakens in the spring, life in the vineyard comes alive. The vines in the Northern Hemisphere are just awakening from their winter rest and flexing their branches for the next season. The cold, dormant months of January and February are finished. Pruning and tying down are completed, new plantings are planned, and posts and trellis systems are mapped out and installed. March brings new plantings and some weed control. April is the month where bud break occurs, yet there is still the danger of a late frost. May welcomes in the green of the cover crop on the ground. It is tilled into the soil, providing nutrients and mulch. We wait with hope for a great harvest to come. Yet, in the Southern Hemisphere, the cycle of the vine is opposite to our time schedule, and therefore, dramatically different. In wine growing regions such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina, harvest is already underway by late January and February — and by March, in most cases, finished. The 2014 vintage becomes a reality, and it is shaping up to be a good one! Availability to drink some of these wines could be as early as the fall or winter of this year. While you wait, try some wines from previous vintages. Perfect for spring drinking, here is a list of some goodies to look forward to. AUKA TORRONTÉS “LA CONSULTA,” MENDOZA, ARGENTINA

Torrontés is by far the most important white grape varietal grown in Argentina. It thrives in the wine regions from the north to the south, while consistently taking on similar unique characteristics. The grapes of this dry white were produced and grown in Mendoza, located in the western central part of the country. On the nose, the distinct aromas of potent white flowers will prevail, while notes of lemon zest, ripe kiwi, and green apple will follow. On the palate, the wine is dry, crisp, and light bodied. The tropical flavors of mango, papaya, and white peach dominate with just a hint of mineral on the finish. Recommended Serving Temperature: 42 to 45 F. Recommended Food Pairings: As an aperitif or with shellfish, goat cheese, green salad. Drink within one year.

FABRE MONTMAYOU, “RESERVA,” MALBEC, MENDOZA, ARGENTINA

The Malbec grape originates in the southwest of France. Over the last several decades, it has found an even better home in Argentina. Most of the Malbec planted and consumed by the world comes from the Mendoza region of the country. This production of Malbec in the much further south, but cooler climate region of Rio Negro, is somewhat of a rarity. This fullbodied red has fruity aromas of black

cherry, blueberry, and black raspberry with a touch of earth. The mouth feel is round and lush with flavors of ripe blackberry, red currant, and dark chocolate with a hint of pepper spice on the finish. Recommended Serving Temperature: 60 to 65 F. Recommended Food Pairings: Meats, burgers, pizza. Drink within 2 to 3 years.

LAWSON’S DRY HILLS, GEWÜRZTRAMINER, MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND

This pioneer winery of Marlborough was started by Ross Nelson in 1992. The unique grape varietal literally translates from German to “spicy Traminer.” Indigenous more to France’s cool climate region of Alsace, this New Zealand version puts on a great show of its own. The intense aromas of rose petal, lychee nut, ripe pineapple, and ginger spice suddenly grab your attention. On the palate it is rich and lush with a favorable amount of residual sugar and bright acidity. Recommended Serving Temperature: 45 to 48 F. Recommended Food Pairings: Shellfish, cheese, light meats, such as pork or chicken, spicy foods. Drink within 2 years.

VILLA MARIA, “CELLAR SELECTION,” PINOT NOIR, MARLBOROUGH, NEW ZEALAND

Pinot Noir takes on a life all its own in this country. A cross between California and Burgundy, the wine bounces back and forth with earth, mineral, and “Jolly Rancher” fruit flavors. Sour cherry, wild raspberry, and pomegranate mingle with green herbs and minerals. Recommended Serving Temperature: 55 to 58 F. Recommended Food Pairings: Tuna or salmon tartare, mushroom risotto, lamb. Drink within 2 to 4 years.

FOR A SPLURGE:

CRAGGY RANGE “LE SOL” SYRAH, GIMBLETT GRAVELS, HAWKES BAY, NEW ZEALAND

“Le Sol” translated from French means “the soil” — appropriate when one considers the significant impact of the stony soils of the Gimblett Gravels Vineyard. The soils keep growth and crop of these old clone Syrah vines in check and provide warmth in the fall — all critical factors in developing the enormous character and presence this wine has. Deep and dark with purple hues, there are aromas of sweet blackberries, complemented by subtle hints of bark, cocoa powder, and freshly cracked black pepper. Recommended Serving Temperature: 60 to 65 F. Recommended Food Pairings: Meats, game. Drink within 5 to 10 years.

• Master Sommelier at The Breakers in Palm Beach • Virginia Philip Wine Shop & Academy, West Palm Beach • 2012 James Beard Award Nominee SHINAS ESTATE, “THE INNOCENT,” VIOGNIER, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

The Viognier grape originates from the Northern Rhône Valley in Southern France. It is made in small quantities, even in its homeland. Now over the past few decades, vines have been yielding small quantities of this precious grape in a few New World wineproducing countries. The aromas on the nose are of ripe apricot, honeydew melon, and tangerine rind with a hint of baking spice. On the palate it is dry, but has flavors dominated by apricot and white peach. This crisp refreshing white is not aged in oak and is fermented in stainless steel. Recommended Serving Temperature: 48 to 50 F. Recommended Food Pairings: Thai, Mexican, curries and most other spicy cuisines from around the world. Drink within 2 to 4 years.

NEYEN ESPIRITU DE APALTA, COLCHAGUA VALLEY, CHILE

The Neyen winery was founded in 2002 on the site of one of Apalta’s first vineyards. The Rojas family purchased the property in 1973 — they knew that the 3,300-acre property they had owned for more than 30 years was uniquely special and created Neyen to showcase this remarkable vineyard. In 2012, they partnered with the Huneeus family, proprietors of Quintessa in Napa Valley. Together they’ve brought this hidden gem to the States. Made from an even blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère, this wine is complex with aromas of blueberry and blackberry fruit with floral and black pepper notes, toasted oak, and vanilla. On the palate, it has silky and concentrated tannins with loads of dark fruit and black pepper on the long, well-balanced finish. Recommended Serving Temperature: 64 to 68 F. Recommended Food Pairings: Ribeye steak, churrasco. Drink within 4 to 8 years.

HAMILTON RUSSELL VINEYARDS CHARDONNAY, HEMEL EN AARDE VALLEY, SOUTH AFRICA

Hamilton Russell Vineyards is one of the most southerly wine estates in Africa. Located in the beautiful, cool, maritime Hemel-en-Aarde Valley appellation, it is just behind the old fishing village of Hermanus. The estate specializes in producing highly individualized, terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Both are widely regarded as the best in South Africa. This full bodied, minerally wine has classic length and complexity. There are prominent notes of pear, yellow apple, and lime fruit brought beautifully into focus by a bright natural acidity and a long, dry finish. TM Recommended Serving Temperature: 48 to 55 F. Recommended Food Pairings: Shellfish, lobster, sea bass, snapper. Drink within 2 to 4 years.

TRAVEL MENU Globetrotting is a fact-finding mission for award-winning chef and restaurateur Michael Mina.

hen award-winning chef and restaurateur MICHAEL MINA travels, most likely it is to a destination that provides food inspiration. On his recent trip to Tokyo, Japan, the first stop was an early wakeup call to visit the famous Tsukiji Market, where he watched a fresh tuna auction and then ended the morning with a meal of fresh sashimi. Menu items at the recently opened Michael Mina 74 at Miami Beach’s Fontainebleau, such as Shabu Shabu (left) and Kampachi Sashimi, were inspired by the Tokyo visit. A seasoned traveler, Mina shares what he can’t leave home without. TM DE
