From the Editor-in-Chief My daughter wants a cell phone. She’s only 10, yet she’s convinced my wife – no surprise – this is a good idea. It’s such a “good idea,” in fact, we all know the decision’s been made. It’s a situation I’m familiar with. You might recall that a few years ago, we adopted a family dog after I thought we’d decided not to. Clearly, with even one of the kids in cahoots with Jen, I’m outnumbered. Tis time, my perfunctory OK will result in a purchase. It’s just a matter of time. I do get it. A cell phone can save your life when 911 is just a few fnger taps away. A middle schooler having a phone does make sense, especially when she’ll play after-school sports, ride a bus to practice, matches and back. And I’m no Luddite. I’ve embraced technology and appreciate what it can do.Te kids already use our iPhones at times, and they access features I didn’t even know about. But a smart phone also is a gateway to the vast world of 24/7 media — Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, texting, photos, videos, video games and so much more. Gracie already uses Instagram on her iPad, which her mother monitors. But with her own phone, how will Jen and I watch out for her? And she’s my little girl – a daddy’s little girl. Wasn’t she born just a few days ago? She’s not old enough to “need” a phone. Right? Blocking Gracie from accessing certain social media will require a lot of human and app eforts – and a couple suits of armor. But, she’s growing up, and there’s no way to block that. I fear where I might stack up against downloading the latest Taylor Swift ringtone or One Direction song. My daughter’s the youngest in her class. Actually, she’s the youngest in her grade. Some of the other girls are starting to get interested in … gulp … boys. If she has a phone, she could start calling boys. Or they could get up the nerve and call her. I’m not ready for that, either. I know all this is coming. So what do you do when it seems the tide of the world is against you? I need something to help me cope. What are my options? Hmmmm. Maybe … set limits? OK. When Gracie gets a phone, I won’t let it become the center of her world. It won’t join us at the dinner table. I want our kids to talk with us, not text their friends at supper. I want to hear about their days. Having eyeballs Krazy Glued to an iPhone while ignoring the rest of us won’t do. And I’ve now made this sign and taped it above our breakfast bar: “Check your weapons here. Tis includes your devices.” It’s a good reminder for all of us. Tere’s something else I can do: Approve a phone. Just a phone. Gracie can get a device that dials, rings and lets you talk. Nothing else. She doesn’t need the latest and greatest gadgety gizmo. Maybe a Jitterbug? Oh, imagine the horror of being seen at school with a small fip phone marketed to seniors (not the ones graduating from high school or college). And when she starts talking with boys on that phone … Siri: I need 911!

Savor Fare A Croatian culinary adventure Written by Bridget Williams

Aerial view of Hotel Monte Mulini on Lone Bay.

Glancing down at my feet, which were frmly planted on a foor shod in an expanse of golden glitter under epoxy in the Ăźber modern spa at Hotel Monte Mulini, I pondered the fact that less than 30 minutes hence, these same soles trod ancient cobblestones slick and glistening from a popup rain shower. This dichotomy, which the Europeans muster and master so well, is one of many charms to be discovered in the seaport of Rovinj, Croatia. Less than a three-hour car ride from the international airport in Venice, Rovinj, part of the Istrian Peninsula, is situated on a hilly promontory punctuated by the Church of St. Euphemiaâ€™s 180foot bell tower at its apex. Originally an island before the channel separating it from the mainland was flled in 1763, there are a total of 22 islets that comprise the Rovinj Archipelago. Controlled by the Romans, the Byzantine and Frankish Empires, the Republic of Venice, the Austrian Empire and Italy, among others, over the course of recorded settlement, Croatia gained independence in 1991 but still exhibits palpable Italian cultural characteristics. As viewed across the harbor, particularly at sunset with a plethora of batanas (traditional flat bottom

wooden fshing vessels) bobbing about in the water, the dense cluster of ancient buildings, some dating to medieval times, that populate the small peninsula and are interspersed with steep, twisting and narrow alleyways, as well as a waterfront promenade bustling with bars and restaurants, congeal to create quite a picturesque scene. Headquartered in Rovinj, Maistra Hotels and Resorts, operator of 17 hotels and resorts throughout Croatia, took it upon themselves to raise the profile of Rovinj as a top-drawer destination by opening the frst and only fve-star properties in the city: Hotel Monte Mulini and Hotel Lone. "Te leadership at Maistra wants to make Rovinj the next CĂ´te d'Azur," remarked Tihana Milas, marketing director for Maistra. Located next to one another on Lone Bay and at the edge of the verdant, expansive and centuries-old Zlatni rt forest park and just one mile from the center of the Old Town in Rovinj, each property offers a completely unique experience for the luxuryminded traveler. Hotel Monte Mulini debuted frst in 1999 and still remains the top hotel in Istria, followed by Hotel Lone in 2011. slmag.net

Restaurant Mediterraneo at Hotel Monte Mulini. Te spa at Hotel Monte Mulini.

Ofering a more boutique experience than its sister property, Hotel Monte Mulini’s roofine mimics a giant wave ready to crash into the blue-green waters of the Adriatic Sea. Ample use of glass in public spaces and the 113-guest rooms, all of which have sea-view balconies, make the most of the enviable environs. Arriving at lunchtime following an overnight flight to Venice, I resisted the urge to take a brief catnap and instead ventured to the Restaurant Mediterraneo to dine alfresco on the covered terrace overlooking the expansive pool area and the bay. Te simple, but delectable cuttlefsh salad would have been the star of my meal if it weren’t for my frst taste of immensely flavorful Croatian olive oil, which I heartily sopped up with slices of warm, crusty bread. With the forest beckoning and reinvigorated by lunch, I set of to explore the parklands, stopping frst to inhale the heady fragrance of lavender and rosemary planted en masse on the hotel grounds. Of-limits to motor vehicles, but well-used by the locals, ample pathways traverse the rocky shoreline and branch of into the depths of the fairy tale-like forest, defned by 10 species of cypress, which lends a distinct Mediterranean 34 slmag.net

mien. During summer there are a trio of seaside restaurants near designated swimming beaches. Complimentary bicycles are available from the hotel for exploring the park or the city. Monte Mulini’s intimate Wine Vault restaurant boasts a triumvirate of accolades: Croatia’s top ranked restaurant, the country’s best chef in Tomislav “Tom” Gretić, who was the frst chef in the country to implement the chef ’s table concept, and leading sommelier Emil Perdec. An experience best described as Disney World for gastronomes, the approximately $200 per person charge for the privilege of dining at the chef's table provides access to an unlimited number of fine dining courses specializing in French delicacies with local infuence and complemented by the largest wine list in Croatia – over 600 superior Croatian and international wines. Glasses of Istrian Mavasia wine are served in specialty glasses created by Riedel. The affable Chef Tom noted that guests “eat as long as they feel like eating,” and while the average table savors 15-18 courses, a mind-blowing 30 courses currently holds the record. A three-story wellness center is connected to and partially shared with guests of Hotel Lone. Approximately 2,000 of the 25,833 square feet is reserved exclusively for guests of Hotel

Monte Mulini. To categorize the space simply as a spa would be a gross understatement: it’s more of a temple to health, wellness and self-indulgent pampering. The hyper-modern, dreamlike atmosphere that alternates between tall-ceilinged relaxation zones flooded with natural light to cocoon-like rooms with foating pools is enough to transport you to an alternate state of mind. Treatments for face and body incorporate ecological oils from Croatia, and fully customizable treatment rooms allow you to select the lighting, color, music and temperature. Larger in scale and strikingly modern, the predominantly black and white interior of Hotel Lone is reminiscent of the spiraling walkways found in New York City's Guggenheim Museum. Te frst Design Hotel in Croatia, the property was made a member of the lifestyle brand a full two years before it was even built; as one would expect, the aesthetics are a visual treat for aficionados of contemporary design. The 236-guest rooms and 12 suites boast sea or forest views and dramatic black walls with dark aubergine drapery. Each public space features unique attributes, from the leather drapery in the jazz nightclub to meeting rooms with

mirrored ceiling tiles. Even the smallest detail is executed with an eye for design, such as the frame-worthy artwork on the oversized menus in Restaurant L, known for its “Design Food Menu,” which links food and design and is one of three restaurants on property. A design shop on the ground floor specializes in covetable cutting-edge fashion and home accessories by local designers, along with a selection of locally produced wine and olive oils. During the summer months, guests can luxuriate at the new expansive outdoor pool area or Mulini Beach, a beach club launched in 2014 and reserved for guests of Hotel Lone and Hotel Monte Mulini. “Ofering a beach experience in Rovinj is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time and are excited about the opportunity for travelers to enjoy the destination in a new way,” said Tomislav Popović, Maistra’s CEO. As tempting as it may be to stay put and solely enjoy either hotel’s extensive amenities, there are scores of activities within walking distance or a short car ride away. During our visit, we tended to let our stomachs set the agenda, seeking out the best local food and wine. slmag.net

In Rovinj, the locals joke that the Rio Bar, the oldest in the city, is the place to go if you want to learn to swear in Croatian or Italian. Te top restaurant in town – Kantinon Tavern - is located in a 200-year-old building. Serving Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, the menu pays homage to the bounty of local fsherman and is 100 percent locally sourced. We feasted on marinated sardines, cured meat, fresh tuna and Kumparička goat cheese, made by a local attorney-turned-cheesemonger, and washed it all down with Misal sparkling wine (made less than 15 miles away) and San Servolo beer, brewed in nearby Buje. Prosciutto (or prsut) is a long-standing tradition in the coastal areas of the country. While preparation methods differ slightly from their Italian neighbors across the Adriatic, the end result is every bit as delicious after being aged for eight months in the salty sea air. Many restaurants serve prsut as an appetizer, or you can buy some freshly sliced at the daily market in the old town as the basis for a traditional breakfast (two slices of prsut, bread and a glass of wine) to savor on the waterfront promenade or on the hilltop terrace at the base of the stairs to St. Euphemia. Older city inhabitants in particular still mix wine with their water as a carryover from a time when wine, particularly in summer, 36 slmag.net

was the preferred alternative to bacterialaden cistern water. After breakfast, embark on a harrowing climb up the steep and narrow wooden staircase of the church’s bell tower for a breathtaking panorama of the peninsula. Approximately seven percent of the world's best olive oil hails from coastal Istria, because, as one purveyor remarked, "olive trees love to see the sea." Among the best is Chiavalon (chiavalon.hr), a small family-run operation founded in 1997 when, following the death of his father, Sandy Chiavalon, then a 14-year-old with a passion for olive trees, planted 100 specimens alongside 50 or so existing trees estimated to be hundreds of years old. Two decades later, the family farm encompasses 7000 trees and employs organic farming methods to produce oil highly coveted by connoisseurs and ranked among the world's top 15. A tasting with Sandy’s brother Teddy in Chiavalon’s rustic chic tasting room is a truly special experience, learning to roll the liquid gold around the tongue and allowing it to linger in the back of the throat to feel the spicy bitterness that defnes an Ex Albis-grade olive oil. Be forewarned: you'll leave never wanting to settle for run-of-the-mill olive oil again! "I want our visitors to leave as olive oil sommeliers," said Teddy.

Trufe dogs at work. Freshly dug truffe in Livade.

Other areas of note include the small town of Kringa (population 315) whose claim to fame is Jure Grando, purported to be the frst real person described as a vampire in historical records, and the medieval town of Vrsar, one of Giacomo Casanova’s preferred haunts and home to a summer sculpting school. A little further of the beaten path is Meneghetti winery, restaurant and Relais & Chateaux wine hotel (meneghetti.info). The setting is breathtakingly gorgeous with outstanding cuisine and top-tier wines and olive oils to boot. Trufes are paramount in Istrian cuisine, and trufe season, which runs from the end of October through early December, brings out scores of professional and amateur hunters, who are lured by the $1,300-per-pound bounty. Te undisputed king of the hunt is Giancarlo Zigante, who found a two-pound trufe that entered the Guinness book of records as the biggest example ever found. Zigante’s eponymous restaurant (restaurantzigante.com), set at the edge of Motovun forest in the Livade area, one of the most important sites for harvesting the white trufe, was the frst Croatian restaurant to specialize in an Istrian trufe-based menu. As

someone absolutely enamored with the pungent fungus, savoring delicate slices of trufe in every course (including dessert) made for a truly memorable meal. Te on-site gourmet shop ofers some 50 trufe-related products, and I stocked up on everything from trufes packed in oil to trufe-infused sausage. The worst part of my trip? Defying the laws of spatial planning in order to fit several bottles of wine, olive oil and truffle-infused products into my suitcase, only to have US Customs in Philadelphia seize my coveted trufe sausage, despite my desperate pleas and an offer of an impromptu picnic so it wouldn’t go to waste. In spite of this unfortunate incident, I managed to extend my trip in sprit when I kicked of summer grilling season a few weeks ago with a juicy steak simply and perfectly seasoned with salt and Croatian olive oil.

Better With Age

Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier

Bodegas Torres de Anguix in Burgos. Photo by Fernando Fernández.

Located on the eastern edge of northwestern Spain, the Ribero del Duero is named for the Duero River. Situated within the region of Castilla y León or “land of castles,” so named because of the fortifcations that dot the landscape and were built to hold of the Moors in the Middle Ages, the Ribero del Duero is one of Spain’s fnest wine regions and is often mentioned in the same breath as the other notable wine regions of Rioja and Priorat. Tempranillo is the most important quality wine grape in Spain; it makes up the majority of the Ribero del Duero blend and also makes great wine in other regions such as Rioja. As in other countries, the same grape is known by diferent names in diferent regions, and in Ribero del Duero, the Tempranillo grape is called Tinta del País. Up to 25 percent of other grapes such as Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon may be added and up to fve percent of Garnacha and Albillo Mayor. While Ribero del Duero makes mostly red wine, they also produce rosé, or rosado as the Spaniards call it. Unlike American wines labeled reserve or grand reserve, Spanish law defines the terms Cosecha, Crianza, Reserva and

42 slmag.net

Grand Reserva. Cosecha, also known as Vin Joven, is aged the least, with no or less than a year of oak ageing. Crianza must be aged two years: one in an oak barrel and one in the bottle. Reserva must be aged three years with a minimum of one year in oak and two years in the bottle. Gran Reserva, which is dedicated to the winery’s very best wine, must have the character to stand fve years of ageing with two years in oak and three years in the bottle. Tis ageing takes place in oak cask, either in American oak, which the Spaniards love for its favor of vanilla, coconut and dill, or the less assertive French barrels, and even a combination of the two. To drink mature wine from most wine regions, you must age the wine yourself, but the long ageing of Ribero del Duero Reserva and Ribero del Duero Gran Reserva allows the afcionado to purchase mature ready-to-drink Ribero del Duero. For a very interesting tasting, acquire a bottle of each of the ageing levels, preferably from the same producer, and taste side-by-side a Cosecha, Crianza, Reserva and a Gran Reserva. Tis is a brilliant way to see the infuence of oak barrel and bottle ageing of four wines from the same region, same grapes and, in the case of the

Reserve and Gran Reserve, you can even get the same vintage. Te oak ageing adds complexity of favors of baking spices, such as vanilla, toast, cinnamon and nutmeg, as well as cocoa, cofee, coconut and dill, among others. Oak barrel ageing can also change the texture making a wine suppler. Vega Sicilia, Dominio de Pingus or Tinto Pesquera are three of the standard bearers in Ribera del Duero and command high prices. While quality Ribera del Duero is never inexpensive, the below winery ofers a relative value and reasonable availability. Viñedos y Bodegas Gormaz The winery was founded in 1972 and was one of the original wineries when the Ribera del Duero region was officially established in 1982. It is the only winery located in the province of Soria. Linajes, or lineage in English, is the name of the fagship wine of the Viñedos y Bodegas Gormaz. It is a tribute to the 12 Knights of Soria as represented by 12 shields in circular emblems on the label, surrounded by the equestrian fgure of Alfonso VIII, in similar fashion to the Knights of the Round Table.

Curating a Lifestyle: An Interview with Collector Ron Pizzuti Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers

Collector Ron Pizzuti. Image courtesy Pizzuti Collection and Scott Cunningham Photography.

Ron Pizzuti is not easily intimidated. A successful real estate developer, Pizzuti possesses the perfect combination of tenacity and charm, with a straightforward nature that quickly fosters a sense of familiarity; traits that have undoubtedly contributed to the tremendous growth and reach of the company he founded nearly 40 years ago. However, the notoriously tough real estate industry, Pizzuti learned long ago, has nothing on the art world. From his earliest days in development, Pizzuti traveled - a lot. “I got tired of going to bars and cathedrals,” Ron says with a smile. “So, I wandered into a museum while on a trip to Europe.” He loved that frst experience so much, Pizzuti started exploring museums and galleries in every city he visited. “Walking into an art gallery was like nothing I had ever experienced,” he continues. “Gallery owners and their staf would take one look at me, and go back to whatever they were reading. I couldn’t get the time of day. It was incredibly intimidating.” Not too many galleries would make the same mistake today. Recognized as one of the most infuential contemporary art collectors of the 21st Century, Pizzuti is on a first-name basis with the biggest names in the industry. With more than 2,000 works in his collection, Pizzuti has logged countless hours pursuing his passion. Pizzuti attributes his keen eye and depth of knowledge to one thing: research. “I don’t play golf,” he explains. “I go to art fairs, museums and shops.” Pizzuti’s current (and longest-running) passion is 21st Century art specifcally. “We don’t do 20th Century,” he laughs. Researching emerging artists, Pizzuti carefully studies each one before adding works to the collection. What does he consider important? Teir education, background and infuence. Pizzuti takes every opportunity to get to know artists personally, but he adds, “frst and foremost, an artist must be able to draw.”

44 slmag.net

When describing why he buys a work of art, Pizzuti uses descriptors that cross any genre of collecting: movement, balance, proportion, color. “I just buy what makes me smile,” he says with a grin. “People often ask, how should I invest in art? And, I always answer - you shouldn’t. Tis isn’t an investment in the fnancial sense. If that’s your motivation, you shouldn’t be buying.” Pizzuti took his interest in art to another level when he decided several years ago to create a nonproft organization aimed at fostering cultural understanding and educational exchange through an exposure to art. The Pizzuti Collection launched in September of 2013 in a historic office building in the Short North Arts District of Columbus, Ohio. Te PC (as it is known to insiders) presents temporary exhibitions of contemporary art from the collection of Ron and his wife, Ann. Tis ambitious project has added to Pizzuti’s track record of success. Adam Weinberg, Director of Te Whitney Museum of American Art, said of the PC, “This singular collection, comprised of renowned masters and emerging talent, is a great gift to the local community and an exciting addition to the national and international art landscape.” His advice to anyone interested in starting a collection? Immerse yourself in the collecting genre that most interests you. See as many examples as you can - in person. Go to galleries, auctions, and shows. Don’t buy at frst - just absorb and experience. Read, then read some more. “Te ads are important as the stories,” Pizzuti says. “I take every art magazine I can fnd, and I read them cover to cover.” The intimidation Ron once felt when beginning this collecting journey is no longer a factor for even the youngest of the now multi-generational Pizzuti clan. Recently one of the Pizzuti grandchildren asked for a spot among the renowned artists on display in the Pizzuti Collection. “Papa, if I made you a picture, would you hang it in the museum?” inquired the 8-year old artist. Te response? “Only if you sign it.” One of the only permanent installations in the PC gallery, young Nathan’s drawing is mounted just outside his Papa’s ofce. As we wrapped up our interview, Ron leaned toward me and, in a moment of magnanimity, almost whispered “you know, we really started our buying at Garth’s when we were young. Ann and I would sit for hours, buying Asian porcelains - and we still have them today. It was entertainment!” Entertainment is visiting with a true collector, whose spirit and enthusiasm is nothing short of infectious. Plan a visit to the Pizzuti Collection: visit pizzuticollection.org or call (614) 280-4004 for a schedule of upcoming exhibits. sl Amelia & Jef Jefers are co-owners of two fne art, antique and bespoke collectibles companies: Garth's of Delaware, Ohio and Selkirk of St. Louis, Missouri.

Hotel Confdential

Check out the One & Only Ocean Club before checking in Written by Abigail Hamilton Photography by Bridget Williams

Don’t be surprised if you experience a feeling of déjà vu as you pull up to the entrance of the One & Only Ocean Club on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. The picturesque setting has caught the eye of more than one Hollywood director: in the 2006 flm Casino Royale, Daniel Craig as James Bond was shown doing what he does best at various locales on property, and more recently Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann and Kate Upton sought solace and plotted revenge in the idyllic environs in their respective roles as women scorned in Te Other Woman (2014). Tough just a short walk down the beach from the sprawling Atlantis Resort, the property maintains an enviable level of privacy, the seeds of which were sown in 1939 when Swedish Industrialist Dr. Axel Wenner-Gren purchased a large tract in order to build what he dubbed Shangri-La: an estate-sized vacation home and lavish garden modeled after those at the Château de Versailles. Wenner-Gren sold his Hog Island holdings to Huntington Hartford II (grandson of George Huntington Hartford, founder 46 slmag.net

of the Great Atlantic and Pacifc Tea Company) for $9.5 million in 1961. Hartford successfully petitioned the local government to change the island’s name ofcially to Paradise Island in May 1962 and commenced building the Ocean Club, comprised of a 52-room hotel, four two-bedroom cottages and an 18-hole golf course designed by Dick Wilson. Hartford also expanded the property’s now famous terraced gardens, importing Carrera marble, bronze statues and a 14th-century Augustinian cloister from Europe, with reconstruction of the latter encompassing an entire year. While attracting jet-setting glitterati, many of whom Hartford often allowed to stay for free, Hartford’s less-thanstellar business acumen drained his inheritance and the property changed hands again before being acquired by its current owner – Kerzner International – who invested a total of $100 million by 2000 to restore the resort to its original elegance, add a trio of private villas, and bring the property under the umbrella of the One & Only Club luxury lifestyle brand.

Private butler service is provided for each of the 105 luxury guest rooms, suites and villas, which are decorated in a contemporary take on the classic British colonial motif: think dark wood, clean-lined furniture, modern art, plantation shutters and marble mosaic baths. Te two-winged section of guest rooms overlooks a sprightly green elevated lawn, separated from the sea by a manicured Azalea hedge. A plethora of two-person hammocks are strung between towering palm trees, whose wind-blown foliage provides a continuous soothing soundtrack. The array of available activities is impressive for a property of this size. Yoga is offered every morning on a dedicated deck overlooking the ocean. The well-equipped ftness center boasts an alfresco free weight area. Tere are two pools on the property: one looking out to the terraced gardens for adults and the other, a zero-entry style with a rock water feature, is provided for families, who can also take advantage of a large and lively Kids Only Club with areas tailored to the interests of children of varying ages. While the kids are away the parents can golf, hop on a complimentary bicycle, go for a jog, stroll along the beach or play tennis, where Leo, the agedefying tennis pro, has been volleying for more than 40 years

and has stood across the net from the likes of the Shah of Iran to Bill Gates. Complimentary shuttle service via black SUV is provided to and from Atlantis, and reciprocating charges are a nice convenience should you wish to sample from the array of restaurants or dip your toes in the waterpark, though a few hours in the bustling megapolis will have you clamoring to return to the peace and quiet at the Ocean Club! There are four restaurants on site: Dune, a French-Asian concept infused with Bahamian tradition by internationally renowned restaurateur Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten; the romantic environs of the Courtyard Terrace, which offers a contemporary interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine; the casual Pool Terrace Cafe; and the elegant Library Lounge, located just of the main lobby and a great place to enjoy complimentary morning cofee, afternoon tea service or evening libations while admiring the paintings of local artist Jane Watrous. An easily accessible sojourn, itâ€™s a snap to settle into island time at the One & Only Ocean Club, where your biggest concern might be getting back to your room in time for your butlerâ€™s early evening delivery of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries!

A Monumental Composition for Piano Te Whitney Museum of American Art’s New Home Written by Victoria Chase Widely hailed as one of the most significant cultural projects in New York City in the past decade, the Whitney Museum of American Art’s new building in the Meatpacking District on Gansevoort Street between the elevated High Line Park and the Hudson River opened to great fanfare on May 1. Founded in 1930, the Whitney houses the foremost collection of American art from the twentieth and twenty-frst centuries. Doubling the Whitney’s exhibition space, the landmark 220,000-square-foot, nine-story building was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano. In addition to expanding its special exhibitions, including the Whitney Biennial, the building ofers amplifed potential for artists and their audiences via dedicated space for education programs; a multi-use, 170-seat family theatre; a study center for works on paper; a multi-use gallery for flm, video and performance; a conservation center; and a library. 50 slmag.net

Speaking about the Museum’s striking asymmetry, Renzo Piano commented, “The design of this building emerged from many years of conversations with the Whitney, which took us back to the Museum’s origins. We spoke about the roots of the Whitney in downtown New York, and about this opportunity to enjoy the open space by the Hudson River. Museum experience is about art, and it is also about being connected to this downtown community and to this absolutely extraordinary physical setting.” Piano collaborated with Dutch horticulturalist Piet Oudolf, who was part of the team responsible for the High Line, on the overall landscape design, including an 8,500-square-foot public plaza sheltered by a cantilevered entrance along Gansevoort Street, whose greenscape complements the untamed elegance of the High Line.

Te interior of the Museum’s four elevators comprise an artwork, Six in Four, created from plastic, laminate, glass and etched stainless steel by Richard Artschwager (1923-2013). The immersive installation is the last major work the artist created before his death. The first floor boasts the largest column-free museum exhibition space in New York, the Untitled restaurant, and the John R. Eckel, Jr. Foundation Gallery, which will be accessible to the public free-of-charge. Galleries on the sixth and seventh foors are dedicated to the permanent collection. An eighthfloor Studio Café complements a special exhibition gallery, while 13,000 square-feet of gallery space is available on the building’s cascading terraces. Open for lunch and dinner, both restaurants will be operated by Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group under the direction of Executive Chef

Michael Anthony of Gramercy Tavern and Chef de Cuisine Suzanne Cupps. “Our expansive new permanent collection galleries will be a game changer for the Whitney. Tey will aford a level of space unprecedented in our history to display iconic works and present provocative new narratives of art in the United States,” said Donna De Salvo, Chief Curator and Deputy Director for Programs. Te Whitney’s inaugural exhibition in its new home, America Is Hard to See, aims to reexamine the history of American art from 1900 to today with more than 600 works across all mediums by 400 artists. Drawn entirely from the Whitney’s holdings, the exhibition of pieces both familiar and foreign represents the most extensive display to date of the Whitney’s collection and flls the Museum. Te majority of the exhibition will be on view through September 27, 2015 (whitney.org). sl slmag.net

Rag Time Put the notion of a Sunday drive on steroids behind the wheel of one of these luxury convertibles. Written by Bridget Williams

Maserati Gran Cabrio MC

Summer for me has always been synonymous with convertibles. How could I forget jumping in the backseat of my father’s 1965 Mustang after it had been parked with its top down in the hot sun and crying out as the fesh on the back of my legs seemed to melt on contact with the black leather seats, or the intoxicating feeling of freedom aforded by lowering the ragtop on my 1979 MG on the morning I obtained my driver’s license and setting of on a day-long solo drive to nowhere just because I could? Granted, the luxury convertibles highlighted in the following paragraphs offer plenty more bells and whistles and a much better driving experience than the aforementioned rides, but at its core, the thrill of the wind-in-your-hair experience remains the same. MASERATI GRAN CABRIO | Maserati’s new Gran Cabrio was designed to optimize aerodynamic lift and flow. As the

sportiest ofering in the GranTurismo lineup, the GranCabrio MC boasts a new 4.7-liter V8 engine, with the automatic sixspeed ZF transmission with five operating modes delivering 460-horsepower and acceleration from zero-to-60 mph in a closed soft-top configuration in 4.9 seconds. Handsome 20-inch MC Design rims feature Maserati’s traditional trident worked into the double-spokes. Inside, newly designed seats, including a completely carbon-fber version as an option, ofer improved aesthetics and functionality with an increased profile to enhance their wraparound structure and lateral containment. Reworked seats for rear passengers now boast increased legroom. A flattened rim at the top and bottom of the steering wheel allows for greater maneuverability; Trofeo-design steering wheel paddles are standard. Starting MSRP for the Maserati Gran Cabrio is $145,740.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT Roadster

Audi R8 V10 Spyder.

ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE ROADSTER | Racing is in Aston Martin’s DNA, and the Vantage is at the forefront of the brand’s motorsport activity. Recent improvements to the entire Vantage range include an optional new seven-speed Sportshift II – designed and manufactured specifcally for Aston Martin – that provides faster and more precise shifts, optimizes acceleration and delivers a sporting driving experience. Quicker steering, bigger brakes and wider tires also contribute to increased responsiveness. A sports exhaust system delivers an apropos soundtrack for the hand-assembled 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine that produces 420-horsepower. To keep Sunday drives from inadvertently going into Monday, a fully integrated satellite navigation system developed in conjunction with Garmin is part of the standard equipment, along with Bluetooth and cruise control. A full grain leather interior with piano black facia trim and graphite center console fnish, electrically operated sport seats, a 160-watt sound system with integrated iPod interface and USB connection are other interior accoutrements of note. Starting MSRP for the V8 Vantage Roadster is $99,225. 54 slmag.net

AUDI R8 SPYDER | It takes just 17 seconds for the R8 Spyder to go topless, and the soft top’s lightweight design helps to keep the car’s center of gravity low. Available with either a 340-horsepower V8 engine capable of going zero-to-60 mph in 4.4 seconds with the S-tronic dual-clutch transmission, or a V10 engine with 525-horsepower that shaves nearly a full second of of the zero-to-60 mph sprint, both options have the performance and safety enhancing support of Audi Quattro allwheel drive and carbon fber-reinforced ceramic brakes. Black silk matte decorative inlays and leather/Alacantara 12-way power front sports seats defne the handsomely appointed interior. Even with the top down, the seven speakers that comprise the Audi concert radio deliver solid sound performance. Starting MSRP for the Audi R8 Spyder is $129,400.

For the frst time, 20-inch wheels are standard and available in four styles and a choice of fnishes. The Continental GTC is powered by a 6.0-liter, twinturbocharged W12 with FlexFuel capability and a new QuickShift transmission that cuts shift times by up to 50 percent and enables double downshifts. With a top speed of 195 mph, the convertible accelerates from zero-to-60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Starting MSRP for the Bentley Continental GTC is $210,025. FERRARI 458 SPIDER | Te Ferrari 458 Spider is the frst car to mate a mid-rear engine with a convertible hardtop, providing the two lucky occupants an unfettered opportunity to listen to the unmistakable sounds of the GDI V8 570-horsepower engine. An impressive feat of engineering, the aluminum retractable hard top functions as speedily as the engine and does not compromise aerodynamics or performance. Te pair of sections that comprise

the top rotate and then fold in such a manner that they take up less space than a conventional soft top. As powerful as the engine is, the engineers at Ferrari took certain steps to ensure that engine noise would not overwhelm passengers by locating air intakes in the rear spoiler and installing a specifcally developed silencer. An adjustable electronic wind stop also allows the driver to further control their desired level of engine noise. Maximum speed is 199 mph, with the zero-to-62 mph sprint clocked at 3.4 seconds. The Formula 1 cockpit-style driver layout in the cabin is designed to minimize the driverâ€™s hand movements for complete focus on the road, but remains comfortable enough for more leisurely driving. A bespoke luggage set is available that features a motif inspired by the six air intakes of the engine cover. Starting MSRP for the Ferrari 458 Spider is $263,553.

The 650S Spider delivers the same level of performance as its coupe sibling with the added appeal of roofdown driving, able to clock zero-to-60 mph in three seconds and a top speed of 204 mph. An electrically retractable hard top can be automatically raised or lowered on the move in less than 17 seconds and at speeds of up to 19 mph so a popup shower wonâ€™t dampen the fun.

Base price for the McLaren 650S Spider is $283,925. PORSCHE BOXSTER SPYDER | Porsche highlighted the 2015 convertible season with the world premiere of the new Boxster Spyder at the recent New York International Auto Show. Te new top model of the Boxster range retains the unique and unmistakable character of the previous Spyder classic roadster, 56 slmag.net

with a top that is still opened and closed by hand and only available with a manual transmission, benefiting both weight savings and driver enjoyment. Te mid-engine Boxster Spyder delivers a traditional sportscar driving experience with driver and passenger Sports Seats Plus, frm sport suspension, brakes taken from the 911 Carrera S, more direct steering and a 3.8-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with an output of 375-horsepower. As the lightest model of the current Boxster line, it is also the most powerful, needing only 4.3 seconds to sprint from zero-to-60 mph. Elements such as the pair of prominent streamliners that extend down along the sweeping rear lid behind the headrests pay tribute to the 718 Spyder from the 1960s. In keeping with the modelâ€™s traditional roadster character, neither a radio nor an air conditioner is included as standard equipment in order to reduce weight. However, both can be ordered as optional equipment at no cost. Additional creature comforts available as an option include the Porsche Communication Management system with navigation.

ROOMS WITH A VIEW

Renovated Geist home makes the most of its waterfront setting Written by Amy Lynch Photography by Andrew Kung When new owners took the helm of one of Geist’s original Admirals Bay homes, they knew radical changes were necessary to accommodate their contemporary aesthetic. “It was a lovely home, but it was very traditional and wasn’t really our taste,” the lady of the house explains. “Basically, we gutted the interior and started over.” Te curving wall and staircase in the entryway remain true to the home’s roots as an original 1988 Home-A-Rama showplace, everything else is new. JBG Custom Homes and Linda Mordoh of Savvy Decor helped guide the transition. The owner had worked with the 70 slmag.net

contractor/builder on her previous residences, while the designer came highly recommended by friends. “Te homeowner was a great person to work with,” Mordoh says. “Her ideas were great and it was amazing making them come true.” Together, Mordoh and her client reconceived the home’s original décor, replacing light yellow walls, cherry kitchen cabinets and columns in the living room with a more modern look and a sleek color palette of sophisticated grays, creams and neutrals. With 13-year-old triplets (two boys and a girl) in the house, comfort was a top priority.

Tis original curved staircase with an updated handrail makes for a stunning entry.

slmag.net

White quartzite counters and a teardrop glass light fxture in the kitchen command as much attention as the view.

“Te client wanted a warm, contemporary feel to the home,” Mordoh said. “Tey are an active, young family and we selected all the fnishes keeping this in mind.” Te new open foor plan fows through the dining room, kitchen and family room like the subtle currents of the reservoir, which is visible through all the airy windows lining the back of the home. Beyond the curved staircase in the entry, the reimagined freplace in the main living room is the frst focal point to catch the eye, framed with a dark, undulating architectural tile that echoes the motion of the waves just outside. “Te kitchen, dining and family rooms changed the most,” Mordoh says. “We took out the walls and opened it all up to put the focus on the beautiful lake views.” A formal dining table and casual counter seating in the kitchen provide several options at mealtime, both crowned with showstopping light fxtures — a chain-linked variation over the 72 slmag.net

dining table and a stunning teardrop glass-themed piece in the kitchen. Te LED can lights are guaranteed to last 10 years, a maintenance detail that thrills the homeowner. Everything has been updated in the kitchen, from faucets to fooring. Te renovation included ripping out the existing slate foor and extending the hardwood, installing new white quartzite counters that look like marble and function like granite, and adding a glass countertop extension with a beaded-water surface appearance. “When you look at pictures from then and now, the house is completely diferent, just the same bones,” Mordoh’s client says. Upholsterer Larry Hughey, Mordoh’s husband, sourced a variety of beautiful yet functional custom fabrics throughout the home, including those lining window benches, decorative pillows and a snakeskin-look ottoman in the family room. “Everything has to be able to tolerate our kids!” laughs the homeowner.

A 3D tile-framed freplace conveys a sense of motion that echoes the lapping waters of Geist Reservoir just outside.

Te residents’ own craps table fnds a happy home in the Vegas-style basement.

Cozy nooks and crannies throughout the home invite relaxation.

The laundry room now features an extended countertop backsplash, two sets of washers and dryers to make quick work of dirty clothes and a screened porch with lake views where the homeowners can comfortably wait out the spin cycles. The upper level features a kids’ lounge, bedrooms for all three children and a spacious master suite, outftted in soothing shades of gray with an over-sized closet of to one side and a luxurious Carrara marble bath to the other. Te basement, once full of bedrooms, now features a Las Vegas-themed rec room, complete with a craps table, framed Rat Pack art and a bar fanked by a built-in upholstered banquette. “I drew a serpentine line on the foor that divides the carpet and tile,” Mordoh says. “We found mirrored tile for the front of the bar and added LED lighting that changes colors.”

A designer contribution, miniature rappelers scale down one of the basement walls.

Te basketball court gets plenty of use throughout the summer months.

Sculpted rappellers scaling down one of the walls, a ping pong table, a home gym and a media room built with lighting to mimic an actual movie theater round out the lower-level features. For Mordoh, the home ofce presented the biggest challenge. “It had 8-foot ceilings and really no architectural details,” she recalls. “We painted the ceiling silver and put a metallic grass cloth on the back of the bookcases. We did a stainless desk, and just funked it up enough that it’s a really cool ofce for the whole family.” Outside features include a basketball court, pool, fre pit and a sunny deck area perfect for summer cookouts. Improvements are planned for the home’s exterior elements, as well. A boat dock, infnity pool and retaining wall are all in the works. “Now that the interior is where we want it,” the homeowner says, “we can turn our attention to working on the outside next year.” sl

Te Garden Table serves up cold-pressed juices and fresh local fare Written by Sonja Overhiser Photography by Kelley Jordan

Cold Pressed Juice Flight

86 slmag.net

A display cooler full of jewel-tone juices greets visitors entering Te Garden Table in Broad Ripple. Glowing emerald, ruby red and coral, the raw, coldpressed juices are packed with vitamins, micro-nutrients, live enzymes, and minerals: Tey are the heart of the operation. The labels further entice the imagination with names such as Hoosier Heater, Lush Love and Detox Dream; the juicesâ€™ various formulas each designed to ofer a diferent series of health benefts. Tey feature fruits, nutrient-rich greens and a smattering of the unexpected â€” a bit of activated charcoal here, some maple or cayenne there, a dash of Himalayan pink sea salt. slmag.net

Entrepreneurs Jessie Kelley and Greg Harden

“We aren’t interested in coming up with a cool new recipe every month, but would rather have a core ofering customers can always count on,” Greg Harden, co-owner of the restaurant, says. “Each juice has a unique array of specifc health benefts, but every one is also delicious and tastes like a party in your mouth. It’s always been a goal of ours to prove to people you can eat and drink healthy, without sacrifcing taste.” Harden and his partner Jessie Kelley spent a year perfecting their recipes. Te hydraulic juicer they use does not create the heat or oxidation issues of other juicing techniques, better preserving the fruit and vegetables at a cellular level. “We were travelling a lot and seeing juice bars on every corner on both coasts,” Kelley says. “Tere are juiceries everywhere and juice in every restaurant, and we thought, ‘Why is there no market for this in Indy?’”

Garden Toast

Te entrepreneurs sought assistance from investor Sarah Simon as well as chef Ian Rossman, formerly of Tulip Noir, and together the team opened the restaurant in October 2014. Te Garden Table was an overnight sensation. Any given day promises a bustling scene: clattering dishes and the chatter of patrons perched on mint-green stools. Juices shine against the rough reclaimed wood tables, and menu offerings line blackboard walls set off by exposed brick and pearly vintage barn pendant lamps. The board also celebrates the several local farms that supply Rossman’s kitchen. “I love knowing the farmers that grow the food that I feed the customers as well as my family,” Rossman says via email after fnishing a busy weekend shift. “Seeing frsthand the methods used to raise our produce and meat is fun for me, and it helps me make the connection to the customers. Indiana has great produce and I think it’s time that Hoosier chefs start taking advantage of it more often.” Rossman lets the fresh produce market dictate as much of his menu as possible. “Tomatoes and corn are no fun in the middle of winter, just as no one wants to eat roasted winter squash in July,” he says. As Indy-based advocates for healthy eating and local, seasonal ingredients, my husband Alex and I have been awaiting a spot like this. Chatting with Kelley and Harden as we sipped a zesty magenta tonic and noshed on housemade granola, it was all I could do to resist fst pumping as I listened to the duo explain their approach. “Our philosophy on food is very simple; we do not restrict ourselves to any certain diet; we believe eating whole foods that are in season and locally sourced is the best thing you can do for your body, for your community and for the environment,” Kelley says. “Our daily diet is the cornerstone of our health and should be treated as such. We hope our menu refects that, and ofers a mindful and balanced variety of choices for anyone at any age.” What keeps Hoosiers coming back for more is that balanced approach to nourishing, whole foods eating. Along with Hippie Porridge and a Quinoa Breakfast Bowl, more standard options are also featured: the Chorizo Hash Bowl, Eggs Benedict, and a BLT. Tis mix of traditional and health-conscious lunch and brunch fare creates a comfortable setting where even the most tentative eaters might branch into new foods. For example, Kelley tells the story of a customer who discovered a new passion for brussels sprouts via the Chorizo Hash Bowl after a lifetime of being burned by the soggy canned sprouts of his youth. Tis foray into new, nourishing favors is what Te Garden Table is all about.

Chef Ian Rossman

Committed to community building and wellness education, the restaurant hosts events from classes on essential oils to conversations on the local sustainable food movement. (In fact, Alex and I even taught a class on whole foods cooking in the space.) Te shelves next to the register are brimming local wares: cofee, coconut oil, almond butter, and honey, and the option to purchase 3-day and 5-day juice cleanses is on the horizon. For starters, though, visit for the food - like the refreshing Açai Bowl, a violet, ice-cold blend of Brazilian açai and banana topped with house-made granola, almond butter, fresh berries and mint. A personal favorite is the Hummingbird Mush, crispy warm rectangles of polenta fried in coconut oil and topped with local honey (addicting, for sure). Other breakfast options include the Garden Benedict, which features velvety basil hollandaise draped over avocado toast with lavender chive blossoms, and Sweet Toast, triangles of crunchy wholegrain smeared with local almond butter, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with fresh berries. Pair the buttery Lox Toast, smeared with dill cream cheese and dotted with capers, with a matching salmon pink House Mimosa (Prosecco + Lush Love juice). In addition to the juices, Te Garden Table ofers gourmet cofee and a rotating wine list, carefully curated by oenophile Harden. Options for lunch include the BLT Smash, a high-end twist on a summertime sandwich classic with its charred Smoking Goose bacon atop avocado toast, Indiana tomatoes and house-made sriracha aioli. Up next for Kelley and Harden: a Caprese salad with burrata on the summer menu, monthly dinner events focused on international cuisine and, perhaps, expanding to a new location. sl Te Garden Table is at 908 E Westfeld Blvd. 317.737.2531. It’s open from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Sunday. For more information, visit thegardentable.com.
