Opposites Attract

Can denim and cashmere go together? They’re kinda opposites, right? Think again. Barmas has combined them to give you the best of both fabrics—the durability of denim with the texture and warmth of cashmere. The resulting jeans are comfortable, durable and a joy to wear. That’s no accident. Barmas is the product of Massimo Chiapponi, the son of denim star Francesco Chiapponi, who’s had a 50-year tenure in the business. Furthering its pedigree, Barmas is made entirely in Veneto, Italy, the mother region for luxury jeans. The best of both worlds also carries over to the company’s strategy: The old-world artisan tradition mixes with modern practicality and innovation. Ask your Woodbury Mens Shop style expert for the best of both worlds: Barmas cashmere jeans.

Sporty Sport SHIRTS

Launched in the late 1970s, Alessandro Gherardi has history and experience on their side. But in fashion, you can never rest on your laurels, which is why the venerated shirt brand is known for continually innovating and improving its product. Alessandro started his company when his intuition told him to incorporate the work of craftsmen into the modernity of innovative machinery to create shirts that uphold the sky-high Made in Italy mantle. Their shirts are elegant yet unassuming, a balance that most men want but find hard to get. Don’t rest on your fashion laurels either. Rehab your wardrobe this season and start with Alessandro Gherardi shirts, here at Woodbury Mens Shop.

In Living COLOR

One size doesn’t fit all…nor does one color. It’s time once again for jeans that reflect fun and individualism. The jeans universe has exploded from black and blue into the world of color. Yes, colored jeans are back with a vengeance. And fashion-wise, they’re a home run. They’re so easy to pair, and so easy to complement. You can raise the energy with a bright color or tone it down to be more subdued. It’s a good time to add life to your look with colored jeans from brands like MAC, PT, Teleria Zed and Citizens of Humanity—and a good time to stop by Woodbury Mens Shop to check them out.

It takes time to amass the perfect cigar collection, and plenty of space is dedicated to properly store and preserve each one. Why then would one settle on an ordinary ash tray? Whether you smoke at home or with friends at a cigar bar, choose an extraordinary catchall tray from Protetta to complete the overall experience. Protetta uses Italianinspired art and design to create beautiful pieces that reflect a cigar smoker’s personal experiences and travels. Each tray is made of porcelain and zinc alloy, ensuring elegance, style and durability—everything this celebrated pastime exudes.

The AGECyberBEGINS

Tesla’s long-awaited Cybertruck puts a charge in the electric pickup industry.

Remember when the original “Cybertruck vs. Ford F-150” video went viral five years ago? That was when Tesla CEO Elon Musk first convinced us that his new double-take-worthy electric truck could outmuscle the toughest gas-powered pickup. But thanks to the pandemic and its ensuing supply-chain delays, mass production of the eye-popping vehicle was put on hold—until now. The first buyers took delivery of their long-awaited Cybertrucks late last year, and now intrigued consumers are lining up to get their hands on one.

Though Ford as well as upstart companies like Rivian have

already hit the market with their electric pickups, Tesla believes the Cybertruck was worth the wait. There are two trims offered for 2024: a 600-horsepower, dual-motor, all-wheel-drive model and the mighty Cyberbeast, an 845-horsepower, tri-motor truck. Each comes with a nearly dent- and bullet-proof body, and engineers claim the windows are unbreakable. They also suggest that the most powerful version has a range of about 340 miles on full charge and a zeroto-60 acceleration of 2.6 seconds. Performance numbers, of course, are expected from Tesla, whose sedans and sport models have been

Despite its unique shape and styling, the Tesla Cybertruck falls into the pick-up class. Beneath the rear panel is a flatbed with enough space for luggage, golf bags, camping gear and much more!

long celebrated in the industry for their speed and efficiency.

The interior design also lives up to the Tesla name. Instead of a dashboard full of gauges, buttons and levers, the minimalistic cabin has a horizontally mounted 18.5-inch touchscreen where all controls and displays appear. Those in the back (the truck seats up to six passengers) have access to a 9.4-inch touchscreen for adjusting climate and entertainment settings.

But how does this vehicle compare with classic pickups? Indeed, the Cybertruck falls into the category despite its unique shape and

angles, which make it look like it’s straight out of a 1980s sci-fi film. Beneath the retractable rear panel is a 6-by-4-foot flatbed that hauls everything from luggage to golf bags to camping gear. Have a small boat? This Tesla can tow about 11,000 pounds, whereas Ford’s electric trucks reportedly max out at 8,500 pounds. If hitching a trailer or driving on rugged terrain isn’t a concern, you can wait for the 2025 model year, when Tesla expects to introduce a rear-wheel-drive version of the Cybertruck.

The 2024 Cybertruck starts at around $80K.

When a night out calls for entertainment, grab tickets for a show at the John W. Engeman Theater (250 Main St., Northport, 631.261.2900; engemantheater.com). The theater provides the ultimate spectator experience with stadium-style seating and state-of-theart lighting and sound. In addition, the lobby bar and lounge offer guests craft beers, select wines, cocktails and soft drinks before and after shows. The stage, meanwhile, is a showcase for premier professional performers and casts from the Broadway talent pool. It’s also produced more than 80 Main Stage productions of Broadway musicals and plays.

Additionally, the theater hosts special events and fundraisers for various organizations. Originally built in 1912 as a movie house and vaudeville theater, the facility has been renovated several times over the decades. It was converted into a year-round professional live theater in 2006 and renamed after Chief Warrant Officer Four John William Engeman, who was killed in Iraq in May of the same year.

An Artist By NATURE

The ever-creative Paula Flores was born in Tijuana and lives in Vienna, but the countryside keeps calling.

Though she was born and raised in the industrial city of Tijuana, Mexico, abstract and contemporary artist Paula Flores discovered nature at an early age—she had grandparents.

“Both of my paternal grandparents grew up with nature,” Flores recalls. “My grandmother was a deep believer in the magic and secrets in nature.”

With a diversity of materials (some found at Mexican markets), bold splashes of color and limitless imagination, she strives to convey a message about nature: “We are all interconnected in the most profound ways…with the whole cosmos.”

Though her grandparents’ influence went a long way, she tells Woodbury Mens Shop that connecting with nature is still “the biggest challenge” for a city dweller like herself and “one of the main things that I explore in my artwork.” Not only nature, but Mayan murals, cave paintings and ancient Egyptian art inspire this current Vienna resident and mother of a 3-year-old. (Just don’t ask her her own age.)

Flores’ early ambitions ran the gamut, but her dad recommended art because of her desire to express and create constantly, which she says is the only way she can live. Her accomplishments include many solo exhibits, such as at the Red Carpet Showroom Volkstheater in Vienna, group shows from Guadalupe to Munich, and a collection at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

In the future, Flores envisions a studio outside the city, and one of her dreams is to raise sheep and harvest wool—a medium that already stirs her creativity. Whether it’s cooking, exploring traditional markets or visiting the family ranch in Tecate, Mexico, Flores finds that all her pursuits “end up feeding my creative process,” making fans wonder what’s next.

—Donna Rolando

Celebrations are central to culture in Tijuana, Mexico, where artist Paula Flores grew up—she’s even decided that “to celebrate is to love.” Joyful with color, “Party Time” is a 2022 abstract that memorializes the festive spirit with acrylic and enamel.

This page: Unlike “sterile supermarkets,” open markets—like the ones Flores frequents in Mexico—abound in life and energy. She captures this vibrancy in “A Cuanto el Kilo?,” a 2021 collage of diverse elements, from wire to wood. Opposite page: In the 2020 abstract “Los Santitos de las Conchitas,” Flores uses acrylic and oil pastel to explore how objects in nature such as conchitas (the diminutive of conchas, or seashells) transfer energy.

This page: Inspired by the calling of shamans or healers, Flores created “In a Long Blink” as a contemporary acrylic in 2022. Opposite page: The powers of imagination take center stage in “Through My Eyelids” (2022), an acrylic aglow with iridescent pigment and metallic paper.

SURF’S UP!

These six spots offer some of the globe’s best waves and coolest vibes.

We don’t deny that there are stay-at-home surfers, most of them lucky folks who live on or near a beach where the swells run reliably high. But let’s face it: Most surfers are travelers by nature, eternally seeking the world’s widest swell windows, best peeling waves, longest stretches of uncrowded beach and warmest, most crystalline waters. It doesn’t hurt, of course, if these top surfing spots also happen to be situated in stunning locales, especially if the plan is to spend at least a little time on dry land. With all of that in mind, we offer a half dozen of the globe’s best places to catch some spectacular waves and revel in good times overall.

The surf village of Teahupo’o in Tahiti, French Polynesia, features memorable terrain on land and unforgettable waves in the ocean.

NAZARÉ, PORTUGAL

If it’s size you’re after, you’ll find it in this little Portuguese fishing village, in the form of truly monstrous swells, thanks to the 16,000-foot-deep underwater formation known as the Nazaré Canyon. We’re talking record-breaking waves, like the 100-footer effortlessly ridden by world champion Garrett McNamara in 2013. No wonder the World Surfing League holds its annual Big Wave Contest here. For the biggest and best, come in winter and head straight to Praia do Norte, a beach for experts only. Take a break from the breaks: And take in the panoramic ocean views from the stunning 16th-century Forte de São Miguel.

ULUWATU, BALI, INDONESIA

File it under “Pinch me; I must be dreaming”: sharing the waves with the world’s best surfers beneath a soaring cliff that’s home to an 11thcentury Hindu temple. Throw in consistent swells and peaks that come together to create a wall stretching many hundreds of feet, and you’ll understand why Uluwatu is a global surfers’ mecca. Of course, all that perfection can mean large crowds; for a little elbow room, you can head to nearby Lombok or Sumbawa. Visit between April and October for optimum surf. Take a break from the breaks: And hike Mount Agung, an active volcano and the highest point on the island.

JEFFREYS BAY, SOUTH AFRICA

Like Raglan, it had its star turn in the surfing flick Endless Summer, which helped transform this former sleepy fishing village on South Africa’s Eastern Cape into a must-ride destination. Justly famous for its unparalleled right-hand point breaks, Jeffreys is home to the Billabong Pro ASP World Tour. If you want to challenge yourself, make your way to the sections known as Boneyard, Supertubes and Tubes. Or, for a less crowded ride, check out The Point, Kitchen Windows, Magna Tubes or Albatross. Take a break from the breaks: And ride a horse along the gentler waves of the Papiesfontein Beach horse trail.

SHIPSTERN BLUFF, PORT ARTHUR, TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA

You’re not in Hawaii anymore, Dorothy—this place, on the southeastern coast of the island of Tasmania, is about as remote as a surfing spot can get, reachable only by an 18mile boat or jet-ski ride or a two-hour trek through Tasman National Park. It’s also forbidding: Nestled into a rugged dolomite bluff, the beach is home to seals, orcas and great white sharks, and it’s often visited by low-pressure systems working their way up from the South Pole. Still, if you’re an expert surfer looking for the challenge of a lifetime, you’ll find it here, in the form of barreling waves that build miles out at sea and offer some of the world’s most exhilarating rides. Take a break from the breaks: And hike through the forests of Tasman National Park to the top of the bluffs, for breath-stealing views.

RAGLAN, NEW ZEALAND

Before the 1966 release of the classic surfing film Endless Summer, only the locals knew about Raglan, now considered one of the world’s top surf spots. And yet the area still retains the laid-back vibe and surfing-community spirit it evinced in that long-ago movie. It also offers consistent 4to 6-foot swells and a series of left-hand point breaks, and on a good day (of which you’ll find many, especially from November through February), you can ride the best of them in the storied bays of Manu, Whale and Indicators. Take a break from the breaks: And find sustenance at one of the area’s many excellent farm-to-table eateries.

TEAHUPO’O, TAHITI, FRENCH POLYNESIA

Surrounded by a quiet surfing village, Teahupo’o is often called “the end of the road” because to reach it you have to go beyond the paved road that leads from town to the beach. But the nickname is metaphorically apt as well: The heavy, glassy waves here, which can exceed 40 feet in height, are among the world’s most dangerous, famous for the triple threat of extraordinary size, power and speed. Even pro surfers have come dangerously close to breathing their last after wiping out on the shallow-lying coral reef just offshore. If you’re an expert seeking the thrill of your life, there are few places that deliver it like Teahupo’o. (And for beginning and intermediate surfers, Tahiti offers a wealth of less terrifying spots.) Take a break from the breaks: And wander the beautiful village of Teahupo’o, or tour the nearby pearl farm at Tahiti Iti.

A Great Course RETURNS

Anyone who played Long Island’s legendary Lido knows that nothing will ever be the same—except a new layout in Wisconsin. By Everett Potter

It’s a true story with a touch of fable. In 1917, C.B. Macdonald, the father of American golf course architecture, completed a course by the ocean on Long Island that many regarded as the greatest ever built. A masterwork of artistry and engineering, the Lido was the outgrowth of creative earth moving that transformed a flat swath of terrain into a wondrous, rumpled playground. Its greens were enormous. Its bunkers were expansive and beguiling. Its fairways heaved and fell with brows and hollows. Many of its holes were what are known as templates, iconic designs that have been mimicked at myriad properties around the world.

For years, the Lido flourished. But eventually, smacked by stiff financial headwinds after World War II, the course shuttered. Its acreage was repurposed as a naval base. Closing, though, did little to dim the Lido’s reputation. If anything, absence bolstered its renown. As decades passed, the course acquired a near-mythic aura, becoming golf’s version of the lost city of Atlantis. Golf buffs spoke of it in reverent tones.

Some became so giddy they wondered aloud: What if the Lido could be recreated?

Get this: It has been.

Late last year, the first nine of 18 holes opened on a faithful reproduction of the Lido. The full routing will be ready for play this spring. The new course is not a mere homage to the original; it’s an exacting replica. Every wrinkle of the layout has been recreated to within inches of the Macdonald design. There’s one big difference, though. The reborn Lido is not on Long Island. It’s situated in the sand barrens in the center of Wisconsin.

Resurrecting the Lido had been a group effort, led by Michael and Chris Keiser, siblings with an impeccable golf pedigree. Their father, Mike Keiser, developed Bandon Dunes on the southern coast of Oregon, a pioneering resort that awakened the golf industry to a Field of Dreams approach; it proved that if you built courses in re-

mote locations, people would come, provided that the golf was great.

Following in their father’s footsteps, the Keiser brothers became golf developers, devoted to building the kind of classic courses that purists are willing to travel far to play.

No course fits that profile better than the Lido, which sits in the small town of Nekoosa, roughly two-and-half hours from Milwaukee.

“If this were just a very nice golf course lost to history, we’d have no interest in rebuilding it,” Michael Keiser has said of the project. “But the Lido was truly exceptional. Therefore, anything we build that’s not in that upper echelon, we can only blame ourselves.”

To help give the Lido its new Midwest incarnation, the Keisers hired the celebrated architect Tom Doak, whose designs have peppered World Top 100 lists for decades. Doak, in turn, relied on detailed historical documentation of the Lido, including 3D computer models based on photographs and other renderings.

A round at the Lido will double as a kind of trip through time, allowing golfers to experience the beauty and strategic challenges of a masterpiece conceived more than a century ago. Like its defunct doppelgänger, the reborn Lido will test players with such template holes as the Biarritz, a long par-3 defined by a deep gully running horizontally through its green. It will also feature an Eden hole, a short par-3 with a teardrop-shaped green guarded jealously by bunkers; a par-4 known as an Alps hole for the mountainous rise that creates a blind approach shot; and a punchbowl par-4 with a concave green ringed by dunes. No detail has been overlooked. The routing even has been oriented so that golfers will face the same prevailing winds they would have faced on Long Island.

The Lido sits across the road from Sand Valley, a popular golf resort developed by the Keiser brothers, and though it will operate as a private course, limited tee times will be set aside for resort guests.

Be forewarned: Those slots will be snatched up fast.

These days success in the yachting industry has a new key ingredient: sustainable practices to help save the planet.

From the clothes we wear to the cars we drive to the way we throw things out, the trend is clear: We’re all trying to reduce our “footprint” and thus help assure a future for the environment we cherish. And the superyacht community is no exception. Manufacturers appeal to the “green,” eco-conscious conscience of consumers, and consumers respond. A few cases in point:

• The power. Just as auto engineers have developed electric and hybrid systems to replace fully fossil-fuel-burning combustion engines, so have many boat manufacturers. Hybrid yachts are becoming commonplace, as builders research propulsion that requires zero gas consumption—many yachts are now equipped with solar power and sails, for example. And high-profile yachtsmen are taking notice. Take Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso, who this year had a Sunreef 60 Eco equipped with 1,800 square feet of solar panels that help power electric engines.

• Smart construction. Lightweight materials have long been required for speed, but maritime racing isn’t for everyone. These days, many people seek boats made with lighter materials simply because less weight means less fuel burned. For hull construction, builders are relying more on materials such as carbon fiber and aluminum, both lightweight when compared with steel. That’s not to say steel doesn’t factor into an eco-friendly design: It’s highly reusable and often employed—along with other sustainable materials such as wood and cork—for yacht decking. Manufacturers like Steeler consider this during construction, making sure many parts can easily be recycled when the boats are taken out of service and dismantled.

• The feel-good factor. Whether on deck or

below it, we’re used to the good life. This means designing a yacht interior that not only meets all of our needs, but also exceeds style expectations. Tech gear going into today’s yachts is often environmentally friendly. Newcastle Marine built the 129-foot Safira with energy-saving LED lighting as well as reclaimed oak, remnant stone and Esthec (a reusable alternative for teak) for interior cabinets and exterior decks. Other sustainable accessory ideas include air-conditioning systems with eco-modes, insulation upgrades to decrease fuel consumption and black-water treatment systems to reduce waste.

• Second-hand, not second best. Boaters are discovering that a refurbished yacht can often be just as good as the latest and greatest. When you consider a superyacht like a home, it’s a canvas for renovations and remodels. Compared with building a yacht from scratch, revamping a yacht reduces landfill waste (a properly disposed of boat can cost an owner up to $40,000 as tons of hull material can sit for years) and requires fewer resources. In addition, you’re in charge of what goes into the rebuild, meaning that you can select items that are cost-effective, eco-friendly and technologically advanced. And just as with rebuilding a classic car, there’s a sentimental value to honoring a yacht’s history and overall coolness.

• Togetherness. There’s collective action being taken by builders, owners and governments to promote sustainability. Boating associations around the globe, including the International Maritime Organization, are pushing for stricter laws governing emissions—sulphur, specifically—around certain ports. And shipbuilders are now required to reduce emissions of nitric oxide, a major polluter from large vessels. Superyacht industry leaders even created the nonprofit Water Revolution Foundation, whose members are committed to the sustainable consumption of natural resources.

LA VIDA YOGA Fitness

While modern disciplines have focused on physical and mental strength, Brahma yoga puts the spirit back in the center of the ancient practice.

Have you ever been in a rush to get to yoga class, a session with the city’s top instructor that’s so popular there’s a waiting list to join? The practice is an equalizer for our on-the-go lifestyles, so we’d do almost anything for a spot in the class. It’s all well and good, of course, as yoga has gained global recognition for its emphasis on meditation and relaxation. But some believe the ancient discipline has lost its way because of that popularity —hence the introduction of Brahma yoga.

Developed by author and worldrenowned yoga master Leo Lourdes, Brahma yoga seeks to return the practice to its Indian origins, in which the spirit was the focal point rather than

the physical or mental self. “Brahma yoga seeks to reunite us through our practice to our place, presence and purpose in this cosmos,” Lourdes writes in his latest book, A World of Yoga: 700 Asanas for Mindfulness and Well-Being (Rizzoli New York, 2023) “Brahma yoga activates the vitality that thrives through the flow of energy, Asanas, movement, mantras and mudras. It reminds and awakens in each of us the yogic quest of enlightenment that leads to bliss, balance,

creativity, love, acceptance and freedom.”

Brahma yoga incorporates 700 asanas, or postures, that arrange the body into a variety of positions. These poses each stem from two general shapes—circles and triangles—and they promote the flow of oxygenated blood throughout the body. The belief is, according to Lourdes, that syncing the body’s systems (nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal, for instance) promotes homeostasis and thus allows a person to function properly.

Lourdes introduces us to Brahma yoga in his tome. Yogis can follow one of a dozen sequences, all of which are meant to provide toning and flexibility, rest and rejuvenation, mindfulness and realization while simultaneously transforming mind, body and spirit.

A Promise MADE AT SEA

Stranded in a sailboat three decades ago, two men agreed on an ambitious vow. Let your palate determine if they kept it.

A 1994 boat trip gone wrong—that was the genesis of the Serafina Restaurant Group. When friends Vittorio Assaf and Fabio Granato were stranded at sea far off the Long Island shore—no food, few supplies and barely any hope—they vowed that if they survived, they would open a restaurant that served the world’s best pizza and pasta.

They made it. The first Serafina restaurant opened in New York City in 1995, and the group is now offering unforgettable Italian meals in dozens of locations around the world, including Brazil, Japan and Türkiye.

“It’s not an exaggeration to say that pact inspired our will to survive,” the jovial, free-spirited restaurateurs write in their new book Serafina: Modern Italian Cuisine for Everyday Home Cooking (Rizzoli New York).

And did they literally keep their vow? Try the recipes on the following pages—or visit a Serafina— and decide for yourself.

Food should always be enjoyed with good friends and family. Here Fabio Granato and Vittorio Assaf, middle, share a meal and laughs with Paolo Gennari and Andrea Gennari.

LA BRESAOLA SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS:

n 2 cups loosely packed arugula

n 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil

n 1/4 tsp. grated Parmigiano Reggiano

n salt and black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

n lemon juice (1 lemon), freshly squeezed

n 14 oz. bresaola meat, thinly sliced

n 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano shavings

n 1 lemon, cut into wedges

DIRECTIONS:

Put the washed and dried arugula in a bowl; add the olive oil, the grated Parmigiano Reggiano and season to taste with salt, black pepper and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Arrange the bresaola slices around a platter and place the dressed arugula on top. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving to give time for the bresaola to absorb the flavors of the arugula condiments. Finish with Parmigiano Reggiano shavings. Garnish with lemon wedges.

ORECCHIETTE WITH SAUSAGE & BROCCOLI

INGREDIENTS:

n 7 oz. broccoli

n 7 oz. sweet sausage

n 2 Tbs. unsalted butter

n salt, to taste

n 1 lb. dried orecchiette

n 1/2 cup grated

Parmigiano Reggiano

DIRECTIONS:

Remove and discard the lower stems from the broccoli. Quarter the broccoli florets length-wise if large. Remove the casing from the sausage and break it up with your fingers. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage meat, stirring frequently and breaking it up further with a fork if necessary. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. When the pasta is about halfway cooked but still fairly hard in the center, probably about 5 minutes in, add the broccoli and cook until both pasta and broccoli are cooked, about 5 additional minutes. Drain and add both to the skillet with the sausage. Toss over medium heat until combined, about 2 minutes. Divide the pasta among individual serving bowls and top with grated Parmigiano.

Women At The HELM

Winemaking in Northern California isn’t the exclusive province of men, and actually hasn’t been for quite some time.

Just as you can’t judge a book by its cover, you can only tell so much about a wine from its label. Scanning the fine print, you may read about the vintage and the varietal, but you’ll miss a thread in the wine’s origin story—you won’t learn about the people behind it. In Northern California, many of those people happen to be women. That’s not a new development, but it’s one that is finally getting noticed.

“When I was getting started, there were a number of women doing amazing things in wine,” Hilary Sjolund says. “If you weren’t in the industry, you may not have heard about them because they didn’t always get the attention they deserved. But they were inspiring figures to people like me.”

Sjolund, 43, is associate winemaker at Aperture Cellars, an acclaimed property in the Anderson Valley of Sonoma County that is known for its focus on Bordeaux varietals. She took the job in 2019, following a 13-year stint as a winemaker and wine consultant in the Pacific Northwest, in a move that amounted to a California homecoming. Born and raised in Sonoma, Sjolund spent much of her childhood shuttling through the Anderson Valley, riding to and from her parents’ grocery store on the Mendocino coast. In those days, many women, including Stacy Clark of Pine Ridge Vineyards in Napa, were playing influential roles in the industry. But Sjolund never considered making a life in wine until her first year at college, at U.C. Davis, when she took her first elective: “Introduction to Wine Making.”

“The part that caught my eye was ‘educational tastings included,’”

Sjolund says. “And I thought, ‘Wow. Mom and Dad are going to pay for me to drink in college!’”

In truth, she’d always been into science, so winemaking tapped a lifelong interest. The more she learned, the more she came to appreciate the way wine melded science with art, a mix of creativity and laboratory precision that allowed for an active life in the outdoors. She was hooked.

Sjolund joined Aperture as the estate was getting ready to unveil a new winemaking facility for its inaugural vintage. She now has a hand in an array of celebrated wines in a portfolio of terroir-driven blends and singlevineyard releases. She also works on Aperture’s sister label, Devil Proof Vineyards, which has received a wealth of accolades, including the first-ever 100-point score for a Malbec from the Alexander Valley.

In Northern California as elsewhere, winemaking positions are still held predominantly by men. But gone are the days when women’s vital contributions went widely ignored. At the historic Far Niente Winery in neighboring Napa, Sjolund’s winemaking counterpart, Nicole Marchesi, has been running the show since 2009, overseeing the production of one of the valley’s most iconic Chardonnays, made without malolactic fermentation to yield wines of unparalleled freshness and complexity that pair wonderfully with food and improve with age.

In Lodi, meanwhile, Marissa Lange has been a driving force behind the growth and evolution of pioneering LangeTwins Family Winery and

Vineyards. Now a fifth-generation agricultural family, the Langes entered viniculture in the 1970s, selling their grapes and leaving the winemaking to others. Marissa’s childhood was beautifully bucolic. But when she went off to college in the 1990s, she figured she was leaving California for good.

“As a 17-year-old I knew two things,” Lange says. “I knew I wasn’t going to work in wine. And I knew I wasn’t coming back to Lodi.” Fast-forward to the present. Lange has been back in California for nearly 20 years, guiding the family business in exciting new directions. In 2005, with Marissa leading a collaborative effort, the Langes built their own winery, which today produces wines from grapes in four Lodi appellations, including single-vineyard releases that are uniquely expressive of their surrounds. Central to the operation is sustainability. LangeTwins generates 55 percent of the energy it uses, drawing its water from a state-of-the-art irrigation system designed to maximize conservation.

An early adopter of solar power, LangeTwins has kept a focus on the future. The foundations of the winery were built to accommodate fuel cells, and 70 acres of family land have been set aside for an experiment in regenerative farming, in which crops are rotated to ensure the long-term health of the soil.

“A generation ago, women in the wine industry were mostly in marketing and public relations,” Lange says. “Now the majority of my winemaking team is female. And you see women in a wide diversity of roles.”

2021 Far Niente Estate Bottled Chardonnay, $73 A vivacious wine with bright citrus notes and hints of toasted oak that lingers on the finish. Wonderful with seafood, poultry and pork.

2019 Devil Proof Malbec, $273 A moody, complex wine, with traces of black licorice, herbs and berry. Pair with roasted meats and duck.

2018 LangeTwins Midnight Reserve, $40 A lush and layered Bordeaux blend, showcasing notes of dark fruit and tobacco that give way to fresh fruit on the palate.

DON’T LOOK SO TIRED

Bags under your eyes tell the world you’ve been up all night—even when you haven’t.

Along with fine lines and wrinkles, under-eye bags are among the most common skincare concerns that come with age. They’re often caused by a weakening in the muscles that support the eyelid, or by a simple gathering of fluid. Fortunately, this swelling is very rarely a sign of a more serious medical concern, but that doesn’t mean you need to accept the change. Here are options for packing up those under-eye bags and shipping them off for good.

Changed habits

One of the quickest ways to de-puff in general is to cut back on salt. High-sodium diets cause you to retain more water and therefore lead to swelling. To further prevent this fluid retention, you might also experiment with adding an extra pillow when you sleep—a slight incline can reduce fluid accumulation in your face. Be aware of your seasonal allergies and make an effort to remove allergens where you can, as inflammation and congestion from allergies can make eye bags worse. Hay fever, dust and household pets are all common causes of eye swelling and irritation. A habit to get into may be the trendy “face yoga,” which recommends light massaging and palpating of problem areas to encourage fluid movement and blood flow. And, as always, sufficient sleep is your ally— just as common wisdom suggests, eye bags can be exacerbated by simple fatigue.

Topicals

If you’re looking for a quick solution, something as simple as a cool compress will do wonders in the short term. For more lasting results, there is a wealth of skincare research that aims specifically to firm and smooth the under-eye area. Some experts’ go-to ingredient for this is caffeine. An effective vasoconstrictor, caffeine constricts blood vessels, which in turn reduces fluid accumulation. Many eye creams are packed full of caffeine for this reason, but you can pick up concentrated serums that claim faster results. Anti-aging staple retinol is also a common solution for an eye-bag problem, as are the current rising stars of the skincare world, peptides. Both of these ingredients encourage collagen production, which tightens and smooths skin, and are infused in many products you can pick up on your own time.

Injectables

The stigma around fillers has been waning in recent years, as it should—these procedures are safe, quick, effective and can be reversed if the patient isn’t happy with the results. Dermal fillers involve a medical professional injecting filler material, usually jelly-like hyaluronic acid, under the skin. In the case of under-eye bags, this method smooths and fills out the hollow where fluid gathers. The results of fillers are immediate but not permanent; effects last from six to 12 months, then touch-ups are required. Fillers also need very little recovery time.

As with any cosmetic medical procedures, injectable fillers are not free from risk, but nearly all of these can be mitigated as long as you choose an experienced, licensed professional.

Surgery

If touch-ups don’t sound appealing to you, there is also a permanent surgical solution to under-eye bags. A lower eyelid lift, also called a blepharoplasty, involves surgically removing excess fat, muscle and skin to redefine the shape of the eye. This is an invasive surgery that can take several hours, with a recovery period of at least 10 to 14 days. Before you opt for an operation, it is important to consult with your primary-care doctor and be aware of your own eye health, including any problems with vision, tear production or glaucoma. However, a blepharoplasty can totally banish the drooping and puffiness that cause eye bags.
