It’s hard to believe the holiday season is upon us, but here we are planning our end-of-year galas, family traditions and looking toward a prosperous 2014. Although this time of year can get hectic, take a breath and know that we are here to help you plan the perfect holiday parties, create the most elegant of culinary delights and select the most unique items for your gift list.

This issue brings one of our most popular features, the dR Gift Guide—an eclectic collection of the most exclusive items including something for everyone with distinguished tastes. Custom-designed jewelry, cutting-edge fashion, over-the-top techno toys and one-of-akind collector gifts can be found within the pages of our annual selections.

In this issue, dR Fashion brings you the latest looks from our local boutiques, as well as abroad from Paris and New York. We take a look at a “day in the life” of a typical Florida socialite during the holidays and all that entails in preparation for entertaining to a night out at a gala. From table settings to the latest in custom jewelry, fashion and accessories, we share the latest trends in holiday style.

If you are hosting the festivities this year, dR Culinary Masters shares the favorite holiday recipes of our top local chefs. Look no further for the creations that will delight your guests, direct from top local chefs to your exquisitely adorned table. You’ll find the perfect pairings for your event, whether your theme is traditional, trendy or eclectic.

For those of you that feel the need to retreat and relax after a hectic holiday, we suggest the island of Barbados in dR Travel. Polo is well known there as the sport of kings, but few understand the depth with which the sport has taken hold. We bring you tips on rare island excursions, breathtaking side trips and must see historical treasures.

Should the combination of the holidays and your enthusiasm for automobiles clash over the next few months, be sure to join us at the duPont REGISTRY Cars & Coffee on November 16 and December 21 from 7:00–9:00 a.m. at our offices on Tech Drive, just off Ulmerton Road and 34th Street. Be sure to bring a gift for our annual Toys for Tots campaign. It’s a good way to celebrate and help others in need at the same time.

We have enclosed one very special gift for you. We were fortunate enough to interview Harry Connick, Jr., the heart-throb from our own local movie Dolphin Tale. It’s important to note that he is back in the Bay area, this time in concert to a sold-out crowd of adoring fans. He will be seen in the upcoming Dolphin Tale2—more later from the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we did in bringing it to you. And as always, I would like to extend my best wishes to you and yours for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you in 2014!

Enjoy!

Advertorial

The Missing Piece Fine Interiors on Consignment It’s searching for a piece as unique as you that fits in with your personal flair.

It’s the thrill of the hunt, that odyssey leading to the highest quality for the lowest price tag. It’s knowing you can pay $32,000 for a Baker bookcase, but you’d rather get the same piece for $3,200. Most importantly, it’s about finding that one piece you didn’t even know you were missing.

Mother-daughter duo Barbara Batsavage and Candace Blackburn have been helping Tampa Bay hunters find pieces for their home at their high-end consignment store, The Missing Piece.

An idea that began spooling in their minds in 2001 has since flowered into a mecca for high-end gently-used items, and has grown to two locations.

The business revolves around the motto “spend wise, live rich.” With the care and concern for detail that goes into the selection of every item in The Missing Piece, hunters have no difficulty adhering to that motto. Hours are spent researching and deciding which pieces will be displayed and sold.

Around every corner of the store, the precise position of each piece is arranged and displayed in a way that makes it easy to imagine the furniture

3854 S. Dale Mabry Tampa 813.805.2695

in your own home. Fantastic items are always available at unbelievable prices, especially when compared to the original sticker price. A MacKenzie Child chair and ottoman retailing at $7,350 sold for $2,400 at The Missing Piece.

Nowhere else can you find a $6,477 Marge Carson chair and ottoman for $2,415, a $4,780 Judith Norman bed for $1,495 and the list just goes on and on.

“We select the furniture by brand, age, condition and demand for the item,” Batsavage told of the intensive culling process. “For example, someone may have a Henredon sofa, in good condition (no smokers, no pets), but they bought it in 1980. We know the look, no matter how great the condition, will be dated. So we turn it down.”

Most impressive and unique is their pricing plan. As items are on the floor longer, their prices become lower via a predetermine schedule. Though already providing bargain hunters with ultimate prizes, Blackburn and Batsavage make sure that shoppers don’t overpay and sellers are protected from aggressive haggling.

Both the 20,000-square-foot original storefront in Tampa and the Clearwater store, which is in the

process of expanding from 12,000 square feet to 16,500, are constantly updated with fresh inventory. An offsite warehouse accommodates the massive volume of consignments from closing stores, manufacturers and liquidators, arriving from all corners of the world. And when you can’t make it to the stores, you can look on line (www.tmpstores.com) where their pieces are pictured with the price, and size.

At The Missing Piece that perfect piece can finally find its way into your home, and when a piece no longer meets the needs of your home or styling choices, it can find its way to another life story. “Our shoppers love seeking out consignment buys—saving money, snagging real bargains and avoiding all the guilt of purchasing high end items new,” Blackburn praised. “Three to four years later, when their tastes change, they know they can consign the furniture back.”

Step into these unique stores with a penchant for quality and find your home forever updated and transformed. Find the treasure that lay at the end of your search with money wisely spent.

Harry Connick, Jr.

By Caitlin Duffy

Harry Connick, Jr. is an incredibly busy bundle of talent. The true definition of a triple-threat, Connick is a Grammy and Emmy Award winner, multi-platinum album singer and television, film and Broadway actor, and that’s just the beginning of his many achievements. Most recently he’s been seen on the silver screen as Dr. Clay Haskett in Dolphin Tale, alongside Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd. The inspirational movie was inspired by the true story of Clearwater Aquarium’s bottlenosed resident, Winter. duPont REGISTRY Luxury Living Tampa Bay had the opportunity to talk family, passion and holidays with Connick as he returns to Florida’s Gulf Coast to film Dolphin Tale 2 .

dRTB: When you were shooting in Clearwater for Dolphin Tale, and as you prepare to return to film the sequel, are there any particular restaurants or spots you are especially excited to visit again?

HCJ: Casa Tina! In Dunedin—best ceviche in the south! dRTB: Will we in Tampa Bay ever have the good luck of charming you and your family into leaving Connecticut and becoming residents here?

HCJ: If the [New Orleans] Saints ever found out I moved to the town of our division rivals?!? They would excommunicate me! dRTB: Obviously, music came first. But when did acting become a path that you were interested in pursuing?

HCJ: In high school—I fell in love with theater doing high school musicals. dRTB: Who have you been most excited about working with in your musical career? In your acting career?

HCJ: Musically—my band. Every night I'm amazed by them... Acting—every project brings new challenges and inspiration... pretty cool to work with Morgan Freeman on Dolphin Tale, though... twice! dRTB: Are there any other film or television projects that you are going to be a part of in the upcoming years, or do you plan to focus more heavily on your musical love instead?

HCJ: I'm working on a new TV sitcom—I'm also a new judge on American Idol... between that, touring and recording, I'm pretty busy! dRTB: What is the most vividly hilarious memory that you have of a holiday celebration with your family when you were younger?

HCJ: Hmmm... I guess the time my parents did a fancy wrap job on a present for my sister—turned out to be a spatula...

Keep an eye out for Connick as January approaches, when he will again appear on millions of televisions as the newest American Idol judge alongside Jennifer Lopez and Keith Urban. Before that, catch him at Ruth Eckerd Hall on November 22 in Clearwater, Florida. His latest album, Every Man Should Know, has been available since July 30. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a copy already, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect time to begin a holiday wish list.

TRIMMING THE TREE WITH ORNAMENTS THAT SPARKLE

By Janan Talafer

What would the holidays be without a beautifully decorated Christmas tree as the centerpiece of the season’s festivities?

Decorating the tree is a wonderful Christmas tradition that dates back hundreds of years to the time when evergreen boughs were adorned with fruit, nuts, toys and candles. As early as the 1600s, glass blowers in the village of Lauscha, Germany, were gaining a reputation for creating brightly painted glass globes for the tree.

But it wasn’t until an illustration of Queen Victoria’s Christmas tree was published in the local press that the idea gained widespread popularity, both in England and in the U.S. Then President Franklin Pierce adopted the tradition and displayed the first Christmas tree in the White House in 1856.

Now, 157 years later, a “well-dressed” tree can be found in nearly every American home. Today’s homeowners are only limited by their imagination when it comes to creating a signature look for the tree, whether whimsical or elegant, sentimental or dramatic.

To give you a little inspiration this year, consider these fun facts. Since 2004, the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree has been topped with an enormous Swarovski crystal star that measures nine-and-a-half feet across and weighs 550 pounds.

To further peak your imagination, Guinness World Records lists the most expensive Christmas tree as one that was on display in 2010 at the Emirates Palace in the United Arab Emirates. The 43-foot-high tree was covered in 181 different items of jewelry and valued at $41,329, 531.

This year’s holiday season is fast upon us. Here are some exquisite ornaments that will help give your home—and your tree—that special sparkle. dR

dR TRAVEL

BARBADOS—AN ISLAND GEM

By Susan B. Barnes

Flying into Barbados, sunlight effortlessly dances across the blue and turquoise and crystal clear waters, like showroom lights glistening off of flawless diamonds. With its secluded feel, impeccable accommodations, acclaimed golfing and delectable dining, it’s no wonder visitors quickly find Barbados to be an island gem.

St. Nicholas Abbey

How Sweet It Is Like many tropical islands, sugar once reigned as the predominant industry in Barbados. And with sugar comes rum. The Mount Gay Rum Barbados distillery is still in operation after more than 300 years—sip the world’s finest rum overlooking the dappled water of the Caribbean Sea. Black Barrel is supposed to be quite good.

When out and about touring the island, stop into a rum shop (they don’t call it a bar on island) to quench your thirst. Mostly popular with locals, you’ll find some of the best rum punch on the island in these tiny shops. Cheers!

An Historic Perspective As you might imagine with the sugar industry, plantations were plentiful on the island. St. Nicholas Abbey, built in 1660 and one of only three genuine Jacobean mansions in the Western Hemisphere, is open to the public and showcases antiques and artifacts from the home’s history. Complimentary guided tours are offered, as well as visits to the surrounding gardens, orchards and gullies.

At more than 300 years old, the Sunbury Plantation House is steeped in history and showcases mahogany antiques, artwork and a distinctive collection of horse-drawn carriages; all rooms within the house are open for viewing.

Incredibly enough, George Washington lived in Barbados for two months in 1751 when he was just 19 years old, when he accompanied his sick half-brother to the island to recover from health complications. The George Washington House, also known as Bush Hill House, and its outlying buildings are being restored by the Barbados National Trust that will result in a heritage site.

George Washington House

Harrisonʼs Cave

Natural Beauty If Barbados’ stunning beaches and landscapes become the norm, venture out to see some of the island’s other natural beauties. The nearly-mile-long Welchman Hall Gully was formed by collapsed roofs of caves (and is still connected to Harrison’s Cave), and has become home to a variety of tropical plants and trees, including nutmeg, bamboo, clove and palms. More native tropical flowers can be found at Andromeda Gardens, the Flower Forest and Orchid World.

Sunken Treasure 50 www.duPontREGISTRY.com/TampaBay

The Cliffs previous page: St. Nicholas Abbey is one of three genuine Jacobean mansions in the Western Hemisphere. George Washington House is where George Washington stayed when he lived in Barbados in 1751. Harrison’s Cave natural wonders makes it one of the best in the world. Dive under the sea for all manner of treasure. above: The Cliffs’ dramatic views and delectable cuisine make it one of the best dining spots in Barbados. following page: Sail right in and stay awhile. The Green Monkey Golf Course at Sandy Lane was designed by Tom Fazio. Looking out onto the Caribbean Sea from Sandy Lane’s patio.

Speaking of Harrison’s Cave, its Crystal Room Cave with an incredible array of stalactites, stalagmites, streams, lakes and waterfalls makes it among the finest showcases in the world, according to scientists.

Back above the surface, stop by Cherry Tree Hill for breathtaking views of the island’s East Coast—though it’s still from your vantage point, the ocean crashes against the rocks below, making for dramatic sights and sounds.

Even higher up, get an aerial perspective of the island with Bajan Helicopters.

A 30-minute island tour or private charter gives a unique perspective of the diversity of the islands’ coastal and inland spaces, from the rugged East Coast to the tranquil West Coast beaches.

Living the Bajan Life For a truly local taste of Barbados, try and take part in a few Bajan (Barbadian) experiences. Oistins Fish Market is the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights. Locals dance to the Calypso beats as they dine on traditional Bajan fare, such as fish cakes and Jug-Jug (guinea corn and green peas), and wash it all down with rum punch or locally-brewed Banks Beer.

If visiting the island between January and April, join the Barbados National Trust’s Open House program, which is offered every Wednesday afternoon. The program gives visitors the chance to visit private Bajan homes, from historic treasures to the outlandish to lap-of-luxury mansions. Who knows, you may be in-

spired to redecorate your own home, Bajan-style.

If you’re ready “fore” a round, schedule a tee time at any one of the island’s top five international courses: Barbados Golf Club, re-designed by architect Ron Kirby; Royal Westmoreland Golf & Country Club, designed by Robert Trent Jones II; Rockley Golf Club at Club Rockley Resort; or The Green Monkey or The Country Club, both at Sandy Lane Resort and both designed by Tom Fazio.

During season (February through April), the ponies run in polo matches on fields found throughout the island. In addition to local tournaments, international matches are also played. Past opponents include the Cheshire Polo Club (UK), the

Stay Awhile Hotels and resorts dot the island, and there are plenty to choose from. For the most exclusive, though, look no further than Sandy Lane, The Crane and The Club Barbados Resort & Spa. For more than 50 years, Sandy Lane has welcomed guests through its elegant doors and into its luxurious accommodations—all with effortless ease and unquestionable seclusion.

Overlooking pink, powder-soft beaches on the southeast side of the island, The Crane first opened in 1887 and features ocean view accommodations with handcrafted king-size four-poster beds and traditional Barbadian coral stone walls. Rooms range in size from a Junior Suite to a one-bedroom ocean view Private Residence, or a three-bedroom penthouse with plunge pool.

The intimate Club Barbados Resort & Spa overlooks the mesmerizing waters of the Caribbean Sea, and is Barbados’ sole adults-only (ages 16 and over), all-inclusive property. With 160 rooms, ranging from studio ocean lofts to oceanfront suites, on just over three acres, delicious dining and flowing rum punches, there’s little reason to leave.

Arriving by yacht instead of air? Port St. Charles, Barbados and the under-construction Port Ferdinand are options for extended stays: both feature yacht clubs steps away from the Caribbean Sea, and private, luxe villas ranging from one- to four bedrooms.

When it comes to fine dining on Barbados, The Cliff is not to be missed. The prixfixe menus, strongly influenced by the flavors of the Caribbean, Europe and Asia, are culinary works of art. It’s no surprise that The Cliff was once named one of the world’s top 50 restaurants. Two other fine dining spots worth making reservations are Daphne’s, a waterfront restaurant featuring a Bajan menu; and Waterside, an elegant yet relaxed spot overlooking the sea.

Spend any amount of time on the island of Barbados and you’ll discover what a treasured gem it is for yourself.

CELEBRATE NEW YEAR’S EVE IN STYLE . . .

MIAMI VICE-STYLE

Were you a fan of the ‘80s? Were shoulder pads, leg warmers, or fingerless gloves a la Madonna wardrobe staples? Did Bon Jovi, Cyndi Lauper, or New Kids on the Block dominate your tape deck? Do you know every word to We Are the World? Did you watch first-runs of The Cosby Show, Nightcourt, or Crockett and Tubbs on Miami Vice?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, or they brought back fond memories of the decade that The Brat Pack ruled, you may want to make reservations to celebrate New Year’s Eve Miami Vice-style at Miami’s The Mayfair Hotel & Spa. Along with Miami Vice, The Mayfair Hotel & Spa is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2014, starting with an incredible New Year’s package that embraces the hit TV show and all of the fun and sun that made it so popular.

“We’re going all-out during 2014 to celebrate the Mayfair Hotel & Spa’s 30th anniversary,” said the hotel’s General Manager Axel Gasser. “All of our special 58 www.duPontREGISTRY.com/TampaBay

offers, events and celebrations will be part of The Mayfair’s theme for 2014: Miami Vices—honoring the iconic TV series and the common history we share from that glamorous era in Miami’s history.”

Having just completed more than $10 million in renovations, The Mayfair Hotel & Spa is ready to throw open its doors and welcome you to its Miami Vices New Year’s Escape. Cue the Miami Vice theme music…

The escape, starting at $4,000, includes three nights’ accommodations in the Mayfair Suite with a private terrace and Japanese soaking tub built for two. Flash back to the ‘80s when you’re cast in a take-home commemorative Miami Vice video to post on your Facebook page or other social media channels to share with friends. You’ll look the part, too, with the Ray Ban sunglasses that are included in your ‘80s gift bag, as well as the Miami Vice complete series DVD package and soundtrack CDs. For even more inspiration, you’ll take an historic tour of the ‘80s Miami Vice locations, as well as a Miami nightlife tour.

It’s time to kick up your heels!

By Susan B. Barnes

Want to get around Miami Tubbs- and Crockett-style? You’re in luck! As part of the Miami Vices New Year’s Escape package, you’ll get behind the wheel of a vintage Ferrari, and thunder across Biscayne Bay aboard an original Miami Vice speedboat.

Talk about satisfying the need for speed!

After all that filming and touring and driving, it’ll be time to unwind star-style with a couples’ massage in one of the Mayfair’s rooftop poolside cabanas.

Ring in 2014 in style… Miami Vice-style.

When You Go Miami is easily accessible via direct flights from Tampa, or a six-hour drive. The Mayfair Hotel & Spa’s Miami Vices New Year’s Escape starts at $4,000. Two weeks’ advance reservations are required, and any modifications or cancellations must be done at least 48 hours prior to date of arrival.

A GIFT OF A LIFETIME

By Melinda Tam Orlando

Make cosmetic procedures and treatments your top holiday wish list item.

As the holidays near, you’ve probably been searching for the perfect present for the loved ones in your life. But take a moment and remember to treat yourself this season. After all, this is the season to give and that includes to yourself, too.

Why not give yourself the gift of a cosmetic procedure or treatment? It’s a trend popping up across the country, and unlike something you unwrapped, this gift won’t go out of date with next season’s fashions or tech updates.

Dr. Anitha Reddy of M.D. Aesthetics & Wellness Institute in Tampa sees people really treating themselves first-hand at her practice.

“I would say 98 percent of people buying advanced procedures are really buying for themselves,” she explains.

“Sometimes they will ask their husbands or a family member to help pay for it, but that’s less common.”

But there’s nothing wrong with dropping a few hints as well.

“I see wives mention a package or share a flyer of a special treatment with their husbands, and then their husbands come in and purchase it, but it’s always after the patient has already been evaluated and it’s determined that the treatment is right for them,” Reddy says.

So whether you want to give yourself the gift of a cosmetic procedure or treatment or hint around that you would like one “gifted” to you, here’s a few tips to get you started.

Research: Start looking into the types of procedures and treatments that address your specific interests and concerns. Then, seek out reputable, qualified doctors in your area that offer these services. You can find one using online search, patient reviews and board certifications.

Meet: Once you’ve narrowed 62 www.duPontREGISTRY.com/TampaBay

down your doctor search, move forward with consultations. You can also meet with a doctor you’ve already worked with in the past.

Let the Hinting Begin: Once you’ve selected your doctor and have completed your consultation, confirming that the procedure or treatment is right for you, either purchase for yourself or start hinting. Most practices can print out a holiday flyer or information package that you can conveniently leave on the dining-room table for your spouse to see.

Ready to start exploring packages and treatments? Here’s a list of Bay area doctors and packages worth your holiday attention.

Get SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum, 10 units of Botox or a Jessner Peel, plus a $25 coupon toward any 2014 cosmetic products or procedures.

Dr. Eric Egozi Clearwater Center for Cosmetic Surgery 727-461-5872 “Mommy Makeover” Look good and feel good with this ultimate package, which includes breast augmentation and a tummy tuck.

Dr. Jasmine Mohadjer Eye Institute of West Florida 727-499-5274 “Look Naturally Younger” Upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty by an expert oculoplastic surgeon will restore your youthful appearance by removing excess skin and fat around the eyes. Complement your naturally younger look with two vials of facial filler and 40 units of Botox.

Dr. Nathalia Jeffrey-Fort The Family Dental Boutique, P.A. 727-851-9917 “Laser Teeth Whitening” Make your smile radiant with this inoffice, 40-minute laser teeth-whitening procedure. In one visit, patients average up to four to six shades lighter with no sensitivity.

Dr. Bruce Landon

Dr. Panos Vasiloudes Academic Alliance in Dermatology 813-882-9986 “Be Thankful for Beautiful Skin”

Dr. Cynthia Elliott

M.D. Aesthetics & Wellness Institute 813-855-5600 “Rejuvenating Results Regimen” Look years younger in only 90 days by utilizing a customized, comprehensive treatment plan and product system. Package includes three months of treatments and a full skincare regimen with 25 Units of Dysport® and 1 CC of Restylane®.

Skinspirations 727-571-1923 “A Year of Healthy Beautiful Skin” Indulge in Skinspirations’ facial treatment of the month for 12 months. Treatments include triple-peel microdermabrasion, hydrafacial, dermaplaning, enzyme facials and more, suitable for most all skin types.

Correction: In the September/October issue, dR Health incorrectly captioned Skinspirations photos.

The caption should have read, “Intense Pulsed Light.” The caption that appeared should have been attributed to Dr. Jasmine Mohadjer, who is a fellowship-trained, board-certified opthamologist at The Eye Institute of West Florida.

Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong Dr. Rolando Sanchez Medi-Weightloss 877-MED-LOSS “Physician-Supervised Weight Loss for New Patients” Give the gift of health this holiday season with the Premier Value Plans. These 8and 12-week packages include an indepth initial consultation, 30-day supply of signature products, and weekly visits to keep you on-track to lose weight and keep it off.

dR GARDEN

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW? SKIP THE DIRT

By Janan Talafer Just think how great it would be to step out the back door and have a steady supply of basil, oregano and arugula from the small garden tucked behind the pool. But digging in the dirt can be backbreaking labor, made worse by the Florida heat.

Hydroponic gardening changes everything.

Hydroponic gardens allow plants to flourish without dirt, says Cathy Hume, of Urban Oasis Hydroponic Farm. The plants are placed in a soilless growing medium and fed automatically through an efficient recirculating system that bathes the roots with a rich mixture of nutrients and water.

“You’re also using only a fraction of the water because everything is delivered directly to the plant’s roots – there’s no overwatering or waste like there is with typical gardens in the ground,” says Hume.

And rather than taking up the entire backyard, the plants grow in vertical towers. “A five-tower system can hold up to 100 plants, giving you a big yield in a small space,” says Hume.

Chester Bullock, of Bradenton-based HydroStacker, adds another benefit: the upright stacking system eliminates the need to bend over or kneel on the ground, saving you from a nagging backache after a day spent planting and weeding.

Urban Oasis served as the consultants for the new rooftop hydroponic garden at the Pelagia Trattoria restaurant in the Renaissance Tampa International Plaza Hotel. There, situated on top of the hotel’s grand ballroom, Brett Austin Gardiner and his culinary team watch over their new garden that has so far provided a bounty of squash blossoms, cilantro, thyme, parsley, arugula, lavender, sage, butter lettuce and peppers.

Ed Barry

“It’s a labor of love,” sys Gardiner, who points out that the garden is the perfect example of the “farm to fork” trend that is sweeping the country, the idea of picking only what’s needed for that day’s menu, making it fresh, healthy and nutritious.

The culinary team at the Marriott Waterside in Tampa’s Channelside district is equally enthusiastic about hydroponic gardening, but their garden is indoors. Energy-efficient LCD lighting takes the place of the sun.

Culinary supervisor Aaron Berger transformed a former pool deck kitchen into an efficient, organic indoor hydroponic garden that supplies the hotel’s

restaurants with a weekly harvest of from 300 to 500 heads of lettuce in unusual varieties like red gem, red cash and lola rosa romaine, upland cress and mizuna.

“Lettuce is a big demand, high cost product,” says Berger. “The garden not only provides us with a huge savings, but we’re able to offer guests a nice variety of lettuces we are not be able to buy. Plus we’re harvesting the heads in 18-20 days, compared to the more typical 35-40 days.”

Whether indoor or outside, hydroponic gardening makes growing veggies and herbs worry-free and easy, perfect for today’s busy lifestyles. dR

THE ART OF BREWING

By Melinda Tam Orlando

Local microbreweries take the industry by storm one barrel at a time.

Photo courtesy of Barley Mow Brewing Company

Beer drinking and artistry might seem like two words at odds with each other, but take a visit to a local microbrewery and you might just change your mind.

These brew masters are making handcrafted signature beer creations, pushing the Tampa Bay market to test their palates and indulge in new original flavors. Find out what we learned about the ever-growing microbrew trend.

7VENTH SUN BREWING Devon Kreps and Justin Stange, owners of 7venth Sun Brewing, know their stuff.

Kreps graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Fermentation Science, brewed at Anheuser-Busch and later became a Production Manager at Atlanta’s Sweetwater Brewing. Stange brewed at Sweetwater as well as Tampa’s Cigar City.

So it’s no wonder that when these two opened 7venth Sun’s doors in 2012, the brews were going to be out of this world.

In their 1,200-square-foot brewery, Kreps, Stange and two additional brewers are creating a variety of flavorful masterpieces like Belgian-style beer, IPAs, spirit barrel-aged beer and oak-aged sour beer.

With 10 taps always flowing, each con82 www.duPontREGISTRY.com/TampaBay

taining one of 7venth Sun’s beers, locals can’t get enough.

“Last year we brewed 100 different beers,” Stange explains. “And it’s because the reception in Dunedin right off the batch was huge and everyone was really excited.”

Looking for a signature beer to try?

Ask for the Graffiti Orange, a creamsicle wheat beer named after its Dunedin roots, or Wolfman's Berliner Weisse, a sour and tart wheat ale that’s very refreshing. Don’t know what you are looking for? Just ask the bartenders. They’re all cicerone-certified beer servers offering onthe-spot beer-schooling and tours. 1012 Broadway, Dunedin. 727-733-3013 or www.7venthsun.com.

CIGAR CITY BREWING Cigar City Brewing was founded with two goals in mind: to make the world's best beer and to share with people near and far the fascinating culture and heritage of the Cigar City of Tampa.

“Our hearts are in the right place,” the founder and CEO says. “We brew the type of beer that we want to drink, beer that we get excited about ourselves.”

This 15-barrel brewhouse occupies an impressive 6,600 square feet of warehouse space, including an additional 30-barrel four-vessel brewhouse and canning/bottling facility, producing more than 1.8 million gallons of beer by November. The property also features a large tasting room home to all the beers Cigar

City Brewing brews along with a few guest taps. Plus, all the staff members within the tasting room are cicerone-certified, so they can give you recommendations based on your past beer loves.

“The tasting room is great because it allows us to tell the Cigar City story right to our customers but it also allows us to get direct feedback,” he explains. “It’s a great avenue for exploration.”

A few beers you might want to explore for yourself include the Tocobago Red Ale, the Good Gourd Imperial Pumpkin Ale, Poblano Wit White Ale and the Marshal

Zhukov’s Imperial Stout. 3924 West Spruce Street, Tampa. 813-348-6363 or www.cigarcitybrewing.com.

BARLEY MOW BREWING COMPANY Jay and Colleen Dingman have made brewing a family tradition. The husband and wife team own Barley Mow Brewing Company, a nano brewery and tavern in Largo where they work side-by-side brewing up beers right on the property six days a week.

The two-barrel brewhouse keeps 14 beers on tap, rotating their handcrafted beer in with other Florida craft brews and

ciders. The brewery’s 1,200-square-foot beer garden is the perfect place to sip a signature selection, like “Unkindness” a jet-black, very bitter creation known as Barley Mow’s flagship brew; and “Quackalope” a frequently requested pale ale.

Wednesday’s Randall Night allows you to see the creativity in action. A Randall is similar to a water filter but adds flavors to beer. Every Wednesday night, Colleen packs it full of fresh fruit, hops or candy and runs one of their own beers through it. A recent combination included a milk stout with crushed-up Oreos.

The brewery also touts itself on its assortment of easy-to-drink beers and overall knowledge.

“If you don’t know anything about beer, you can come here and we can help you learn what you might like,” Jay Dingman says. “Our whole staff learns how to brew, so they’re very knowledgeable.”

518 West Bay Drive, Largo. 727-584-7772 or www.barleymowbrewingco.com.

ANGRY CHAIR BREWING The Seminole Heights area will soon get to enjoy a craft brewery of its own with the arrival of Angry Chair Brewing, set to open in late December or early January off Florida Avenue. The facility will feature a 1,000square-foot tasting room, and co-owner Ryan Dowdle says the timing is perfect.

“Today’s population is more aware of craft beers but it’s not a trend; it’s the future,” Dowdle explains. “It’s American brewing — palates are adapting and people are looking for more styles and flavors.”

And Angry Chair’s creations, like the German Chocolate Cake stouts and Banana Cream Pie ales, are creating believers.

Palmetto Creek Pork Belly | Seared Scallops | Peach Jus Serves 4

CHEF RICH WILLERER Executive Sous Chef

Tampa Marriott Waterside 700 S Florida Avenue Tampa | 813-221-4900 www.marriott.com/.../tpamctampa-marriott-waterside-hoteland-marina

½ pound garlic, whole (crushed with flat part of knife) 4 cups pork or chicken stock ¼ cup olive oil 3 sprigs of fresh thyme Polenta 2 cups chicken broth, reduced rich

Pork Belly 2 cups pork belly ½ lemon 2 lbs onions, roughly cut 2 cups fresh peach puree 1 lb carrots, roughly cut Sea salt & pepper to taste.

1 cup coarse corn meal 1 cup 2-year-old Asiago cheese, grated 1 cup Pancetta, diced Peach jus 2 cups braising liquid from pork belly 2 cups Peach puree salt & pepper to taste

Scallops 8 scallops, large dry sea (10 to a pound) Salad 1 ½ cups young salad greens ½ lemon, juiced Fruity olive oil

Pork Belly: Trim skin, and silver skin (sinou) off of belly. Cut bellies into 6- x 4-inch pieces and sear slowly with a little olive oil till crisp and golden brown. (Need to render down the fat so take your time and try for 15 minutes on each side.) When nice and crispy and fat is rendered down, add onion, carrots, lemon, thyme and garlic. Place in small roasting pan. Add chicken stock cover and slow cook in a 300 degree oven for 3 hours. Let bellies cool in the braising liquid overnight. Reserve liquid. (I do the bellies 1 or 2 days ahead of serving.) Polenta: In a sauce pot render the pancetta. When crispy add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Whisk in the corn meal. Reduce heat to gentle simmer and stir till polenta pulls away from the sides of the pot. When creamy, smooth and thick, add salt and pepper. Add the asiago cheese and fold in. Peach jus: Reduce braising liquid until rich. Add peach puree then salt and pepper. Scallops: I like to spec dry scallops so nothing is added. Clean them and pull off the row. Remember that scallops are all muscle so they should never be cooked past rare to medium or they will be tough. Salad: Combine lemon juice and fruity olive oil. Toss with young salad greens like chervil, parsley, chives, red ribbon sorrel, arugula and mizuna. Plating: On plate start with polenta. Top with pork belly then scallops.

Drizzle with peach jus and top with salad.

Roasted Pheasant| Whipped Celery Root | Forest Mushroom Jus Serves 4 350-degree Oven Pheasant 2 pheasant, whole (cleaned & halved) ½ lb trumpet mushrooms, fresh (or whatever is available) 3 shallots, sliced 2 cups chicken stock 2 tbsps sea salt 1 tbsp black pepper, cracked 2 ozs olive oil

Marinade 1 oz lemon juice, fresh squeezed 4 ozs mustard, stone ground 2 ozs apple cider vinegar 4 garlic clove, crushed 2 sprigs oregano, fresh 1 tsp black pepper 2 shallots. sliced 1 green apple, cored & sliced 2 ozs brandy

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil Celery root puree 3 lbs celery root, peeled (3 bulbs) 1-½ lbs parsnips, peeled ends off 2 anise, whole) 4 cups heavy whipping cream 4 cups chicken stock 4 tbsps butter salt to taste

Marinade: in a large mixing bowl mix all marinade ingredients together. Pheasant: Submerge pheasant in marinade to generously coat them. Wrap bowl tightly and allow to sit in the marinade for at least 24 hours in the refrigerator. Remove the birds from the marinade and remove any chunks of apple or herbs that have stuck to them. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. In two oven safe skillets (1 pan for each bird) add 1 ounce oil in each. Over medium high heat sear the pheasant skin side down just until golden brown. Remove from heat and flip the birds so the skin side is facing up. Add a small handful of sliced shallots to each pan and about ¾ cups of your mushrooms (whole or cut down depending on the variety). Immediately pour ½ cup of chicken stock in each pan and move directly to preheated oven.

Roast until minimum internal temperature of the pheasant breast reaches 145-degrees fahrenheit (about 15-20 minutes). Celery root puree: Peel and half your celery root and parsnips. In stock pot, add your parsnips, celery root, cold cream, chicken stock and whole anise. Cook over medium heat until a fork can easily penetrate the celery root (about 30-45 minutes). When cooked through, remove them from the heat and take out anise floating on the surface. Allow pot to sit for 10 minutes to cool down. Strain out the solids from the pot (make sure to save the liquid, for the puree). Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip celery root and parsnips at medium speed. Slowly add butter and cooking liquid until desired consistency (loose mash potatoes). Season with salt to taste and keep warm until your pheasant is ready. Plating: Place a scoop of whipped celery root in the center of the plate. Gently (bird with be extremely delicate) place one of the pheasant halves on celery root. The aromatic, somewhat thick liquid in the bottom of pans with the mushrooms and shallots is delicious Jus. Spoon the mushrooms and all the goodness in the pan over the top of pheasant. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Ice Cream 1-½ cups whole milk 1 cup heavy cream ⅓ cup + 2 tbsps cane sugar

1 tps ginger, freshly grated ½ tps cinnamon 1 cinnamon stick

½ tps nutmeg ¼ tsp salt 5 egg yolks

¼ cup brown sugar 2 tsps brandy or rum ¾ cup pumpkin puree

Combine milk, cream, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, cinnamon stick, nutmeg and salt in a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepot. Heat mixture until the sugar has dissolved completely, stirring frequently (without boiling). Once the sugar has dissolved turn the heat to low. In a separate bowl combine the egg yolks with the brown sugar. Add a small amount of the warm milk mixture (about ½ cup) to the yolk mixture and stir it a few times. Next add the yolk mixture into the sauce pot and cook on low temperature stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. Once it has thickened remove the pot from the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Cool the mixture down completely. Take the cinnamon stick out and discard. Add the mixture to your ice cream maker and spin it. Line a loaf pan with wax paper (making sure that there is about 2 inches of excess wax paper above the rim of the pan on both of the long sides). Pour the ice cream mixture into the pan leaving about ¼-inch space from the top of the pan. Be sure to smooth the top with a spatula and level it out. Fold the excess wax paper down the outside of the pan and cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze all the way through.

Assembling Sandwiches: Take ice cream out of the freezer and carefully pull the square block of ice cream out of the pan using excess wax paper. Cut 1 ½-inch blocks of ice cream. Place each block of ice cream between two of the gingersnap cookies. If there is excess ice cream poking out of the sandwich, carefully cut off the edges or leave them like that. Smooth the ice cream with a spatula around the exterior of the cookie. If you are not going to eat them right away…. wrap each sandwich individually and place in an airtight container in the freezer until you are ready to indulge.

PURE PURSUIT’S SC 365I SPORT COUPE

By Aaron Styza The all new SC 365i Sport Coupe from Pure Pursuit combines the practicality and performance of speed-boating with the luxury of a yacht. This sports yacht features a new hull designed to boast Yamaha Outboards. It also features a sharp entry, 20-degree deadrise, traditional strakes, a reverse chine and a fully enclosed engine compartment. All the sports performance qualities culminate in a blow-your-hair-back catharsis.

The experience of the SC 365i Sport Coupe doesn’t have to end at the dock.

Below deck, a large open cabin layout is lit by six gracious windows along the hull, port and starboard sides, as well as three overhead deck windows. The dinette is designed to convert into an island berth when the seats are pulled inboard. All together, the yacht can comfortably fit four adults for an overnight on the water.

Back on deck is a massive helm chair, and spacious port side seating allows all passengers to feel the wind rush from the vessel’s helm as it zips over the water. The Pursuit SC 365i also features a fresh 96 www.duPontREGISTRY.com/TampaBay

water sink, an electric grill and storage compartments, concealed by a fiberglass entertainment hood. A convenient refrigerator keeps beverages and food cool, extending the yachting experience.

The supreme qualities of this yacht make it a performance marvel for the needfor-speed types, with its sleek body, innovative hull design and Yamaha Outboards.

But the bow’s sun lounges with adjustable backrests, handrails and drink holders, as well as the sunroof on the sleek fiberglass hardtop, lend it a gloss of luxury for those who want a slower, more scenic yachting experience. Either way, the all new SC 365i Sport Coupe facilitates every need and indR clination on the water.

carrying on the family tradition

By Janan Talafer It takes metal artist Nicholas Toth well over 300 hours to create his beautiful copper and brass Greek sponge diving helmets. But every minute he spends machining the metal on the lathe, soldering the pieces together and hand polishing everything to a flawless finish is a labor of love, a tribute to his grandfather, a master machinist and engineer who emigrated from Greece to Tarpon Springs in 1913.

Ever since he can remember, Toth was at his grandfather’s side, carrying his toolbox and watching him work on the ships at the sponge docks. Back at the shop they would also make the iconic helmets that kept the sponge divers safe—watertight, with four portholes, like something out of a Jules Verne tale.

Today, Toth carries on the family tradition, but the old-world style helmets, although still functional, are works of art—handsome collector’s pieces. He’s also added a distinctive series of handcrafted Lisa Sibley Photography

abstract bowls and ashtrays for cigars that often feature marine life designs and combine metal with wood, quartz or granite. dR
