F ront Runners Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh (CENTER, wearing an aviator hat) stepping off his plane to deliver the first airmail from Panama to Miami, flying a Sikorsky S-38 amphibian for the voyage, February 13, 1929.

Flying High AVIATOR CHARLES LINDBERGH CHANGED CORRESPONDENCE FOREVER WITH THE WORLD’S FIRST FOREIGN AIRMAIL FLIGHT. BY JULIET IZON

T

oday, with e-mail arriving nearly instantaneously, it’s easy to forget how harrowing the journey of a single handwritten missive could be. Before the advent of airmail, letters would often take weeks to arrive on the opposite coast; packages from across the sea, even longer. But in Miami on February 13, 1929 (nearly two years after his famed trans-Atlantic flight), famed pilot Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh changed that paradigm forever. Clad in a stylish aviator cap and dark suit, he arrived triumphantly in Florida from Panama with the very first shipment of foreign airmail. With crowds watching, crews unloaded Santa-like sacks of letters, piling nearly a dozen of them at the pilot’s feet while the Miami postmaster looked on appreciatively.

Lindbergh was chosen for the inaugural flight for both his fame and his encyclopedic knowledge of transatlantic routes and weather. In fact, just a year earlier, he had been named technical advisor for local airline Pan American Airways, a designation he held for 45 years. Although in the past Lindbergh had favored piloting landplanes, he utilized a Sikorsky S-38 amphibian for this trek to traverse the open waters. His gamble paid off; that model was eventually chosen by Pan Am for almost 40 of its planes.

Pan Am, created in 1927 by entrepreneur Juan Terry Trippe, was a South Florida institution and one of the most important carriers of the 20th century. With headquarters originally located in Key West, before a 1928 move to Miami, the company became well-known for many firsts in aviation: round-the-world trips, multiple flight attendants, and even in-flight meals. While the company folded in 1991, its legacy—and the indelible imprimatur of Lindbergh’s contributions—remains. OD

M

iami, February 25, 1964: A scrappy upstart, barely out of his teens, is pitted against a veritable Goliath of boxing in that year’s world heavyweight championship at the Convention Hall. Yet 22-year-old Cassius Clay, considered the underdog against the veteran (and 32-year-old) fighter Sonny Liston, delivered an incredible upset. Clay’s nimble footwork and quick-as-lightning reflexes trounced the slower Liston, with the match ending in a technical knockout when Liston, spitting out his mouth guard, wearily declared that he could no longer continue.

The person least surprised at the match’s outcome was certainly Clay. In fact, it was his boasting before the fight commenced that remains a pivotal moment in sports history. “I am the greatest!” he vigorously declared to reporters gathered for a press conference mere moments before he entered the ring.

Shortly after, Clay celebrated his title by changing his name to Muhammad Ali. As his corner man and Miami legend Ferdie Pacheco put it, “Cassius Clay was born in Louisville. Muhammad Ali was born in Miami.” And indeed it was in Florida, training at Fifth Street Gym with legendary coach Angelo Dundee, where Clay first coined his signature phrase “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” South Beach is also where he reveled in his victory with friends including Malcolm X and Sam Cooke at popular haunt Hampton House.

This February marks the 50th anniversary of the seminal match of Liston vs. Clay, a fight that boxing aficionados still mark as one of the most epic battles in the history of the sport. It was also the event that gave rise to the mythical and mysterious figure of Muhammad Ali—mouthy, brash, but a truly brilliant athlete. OD

up and you are still wearing the wristband from last night’s party (of course, of all the “we’ve all been theres,” this is probably the least harmful). That’s usually the sign of a good night. During the season, this tends to happen more often than not. As my 6-year-old daughter so matter-of-factly pointed out, “Daddy always goes to sleep with bracelets on.” Touché. But it’s all in good fun. Here at Ocean Drive and all across Miami, we’re constantly celebrating, acknowledging, and toasting new groundbreakings, debuts, championships; going to sleep with “bracelets” on is part of our DNA. This month’s celebration? Anne Vyalitsyna. While a whole team put in the effort to make this gorgeous story come to life, it’s the effortlessly beautiful Anne V who showed us why she is one of the most sought-after supermodels on the planet.

There will be plenty of toasts this February, with the 13th annual Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival. It’s a month when our town is visited by a never-ending parade of foodies and “winos,” as if there weren’t enough of us—myself included—already here. Much like there was that post-Basel undertone that this was “one of the best Basel years ever,” so too is the anticipation surrounding this year’s SBWFF. We’re at the pinnacle of the culinary scene, and we’ve got Lee Brian Schrager interviewing some of the world’s most respected chefs (all of whom are, like LeBron once announced, “bringing their talents to South Beach”).

There’s also Julio Iglesias and Phil Collins in Ocean Drive this month, along with some new columns you’ll notice as well—from “The Aesthetes,” a monthly column in which we’ll profile the important people amid the burgeoning Miami arts scene, to “New in Town,” which showcases someone who—like me—is recently new to the town of Miami.

So enjoy the read between passed hors d’oeuvres and cocktails at SBWFF, and please, stack bracelets upon bracelets as you enjoy our amazing city.

as some of the year’s largest events take place now in our own beachside backyard.

For one, there’s the Miami International Boat Show, when the world’s yachting, sailing, and boating enthusiasts cruise into Miami Beach to shop for the latest, most thrilling vessels docking at our marinas from February 13 to 17.

And as the boats set sail, the chefs move in for the 13th annual Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival, from February 20 to 23. With all of the attention Miami has been receiving for its burgeoning culinary culture, the 2014 festival will be a tasty one indeed. As in seasons past, the big-ticket event of the weekend is sure to be Wine Spectator’s Best of the Best sponsored by Bank of America and Merrill Lynch Wealth Management at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. You will certainly find us sipping, tasting, and delighting in the world’s best food and beverage selections.

To commemorate such an important month, we’re pleased to feature the must-know model and philanthropist Anne V. She’s one to watch—at such a young age, she’s already had an impressive career, with numerous fashion campaigns for houses like DKNY, Prada, and Roberto Cavalli, and appears as a mentor on the new season of The Face. As you can imagine, we’re honored to have this striking girl next door show off the year’s most inspired spring looks on our cover and in our annual spring fashion feature.

2014 has only just begun, but there’s much to do—be sure to check oceandrive.com to stay up to speed on how you can keep your calendar full.

Hope to see you around town…

...WITHOUT WHOM THIS ISSUE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE FEBRUARY 2014

Brett Graff Graff is a former US government economist, syndicated columnist, and a contributor to a host of publications and news outlets, including The Miami Herald, Maxim, Glamour, Fox Business News, Yahoo! finance, The Los Angeles Times, and forbes.com. This month, she talks to National YoungArts Foundation’s Paul T. Lehr about the program’s Miami roots, on page 126.

What subjects do you typically cover? I write about money and how the most interesting organizations in the world both earn and spend large sums. What can Miami offer artistic teens? Miami is loaded with culture— Wynwood Walls, New World Symphony—but let’s face it, people are intoxicated by the idea of coming here. For that reason alone, the number of artists, dealers, collectors, and musicians is constantly compounding.

Dave Hyde Hyde has been a South Florida Sun-Sentinel columnist since 1990 and has won numerous awards for his sports writing. He is the author of Perfection: The Inside Story of the 1972 Miami Dolphins’ Perfect Season. In this issue, he delves into the latest super yachts and boats from the Miami International Boat Show on page 134.

What’s one unforgettable meal you’ve had in Miami? It would have to be a dinner we

did with Nigella Lawson and Andrew Carmellini at last year’s SBWFF. The perfect pairing made the perfect meal. Any new

He received the 2011 Hollywood Style Award for Photographer of the Year. Here, Slavin captured this month’s cover star, Anne V, on page 200.

restaurants in Miami you’re dying to try?

I eat out almost every night of the week, which means I get to try almost everything on my list. I try to get to a new restaurant within a few weeks of its opening. What are your favorite ingredients to cook with? I love experimenting with different spices. N.31, Moruno N.21, and Cancale N.11 are some of my favorites.

What are your favorite objects to shoot? Rare and exotic garden equipment— I’m a fourth-generation gardener. What was the inspiration behind the shoot with Anne V? A Wizard of Oz take on metallics. I

envisioned her as a modern Tin Man Aphrodite with long legs and tumbling blond hair.

Lee Brian Schrager As founder and director of the South Beach Wine & Food Festival, Schrager oversaw the festival’s evolution from a one-day affair into a three-day event packed with celebrity chefs and attended by more than 60,000 foodies. On page 210, he interviews four globally acclaimed chefs who are bringing their talents to Miami.

Any notable details you saw? Megayachts being built with lighter, stronger material like carbon fiber, or moving the catamaran masts aft to make them faster. What boats are you expecting to find in Miami’s harbor? The biggest, newest, most technologically advanced boats in the water. Then I’ll look for something that fits my modest wallet, like a kayak.

rguably the hottest ticket at this season’s Art Basel was the PAMM Premiere Gala, which attracted a swarm of celebrities, socialites, and art-industry insiders to the newly debuted PAMM. Among them, runway veteran Elle Macpherson looked lavish in leopard by Dolce & Gabbana, crystal peep-toe Giuseppe Zanotti booties, a pyramid-studded Roger Vivier clutch, and vintage Elsa Peretti gold cuffs.

To welcome this new era in Miami’s cultural renaissance, Macpherson, alongside her new husband, Jeff Soffer, joined hosts Jorge and Darlene Pérez and hundreds of A-list attendees, including famed fashion photographer Bruce Weber, designer Naeem Khan, Martha Stewart, and Marc Anthony, who gave guests a Grammy-worthy performance.

Collectively, the glam guests raised more than $2 million to support the museum.

For Macpherson, who usually keeps a low profile, the evening was the culmination of a whirlwind Art Basel week of fashionable fêtes and private art previews, where she stunned at each, from a Louis Vuitton dinner to PAMM’s private collector’s tour.

yles Chefetz, the man known for shaking hands and back slapping with dice on a modern steakhouse concept in exchange for ownership in the hiscelebs on a nightly basis at his world-renowned Prime 112 (112 Ocean toric building.

“Believe it or not, it was more of a real estate play for me,” he says.

Dr., Miami Beach, 305-532-8112), just wanted to live the good life.

A perfect blend of timing, location, and ambience, paired with Cheftez’s Burnt out on the Manhattan scene, the real estate attorney-turned-supper club connoisseur came to Miami in the mid-’90s with dreams of the year- reputation and a steakhouse concept that no one had seen before—chef driven, round vacation. “I thought that I had created a resort lifestyle for myself, to be with menu items like truffle mac and cheese and draws like applewoodhere in the winter and spending summers in the Hamptons,” says Chefetz, 55, smoked bacon at the bar—turned Prime 112 into an instant success.

“Within a year, the restaurant was probably worth six times what the real who opened the South of Fifth modern American restaurant Nemo in 1995.

“When we were doing 400 covers on a Saturday night in the summer, that’s estate was worth,” says Chefetz. “That never happens.”

But it’s just an appetizer to the evening gig, Built on a mere $300,000 (“Today a liquor license which finds Chefetz micromanaging his multimilcosts $200,000”), Nemo broke the South Beach lion-dollar baby until the early morning hours.

“My entrepreneurial side is the voice in my ear that says, ‘You could do this what’s a good night to go to your restaurant, then you’re in trouble.”

Despite the fact that it was located in what was then a fairly barren neighbor- so easily in New York and Las Vegas and be a huge success,’” he says. “But then hood, people had no trouble finding Nemo on a nightly basis. With its eclectic in my other ear is the voice that says, ‘You know what, Magic Johnson is commenu packed with both Asian and Indian influences, and hip décor, Nemo ing to Prime 112 tonight and he wants to see you….’ I start thinking about how perception equals reality, and someone’s perception may be that if Myles isn’t shifted the balance of power away from the promoter.

Chefetz stayed on the block and opened retro diner Big Pink (157 Collins there, then maybe it’s not as good as it used to be.”

For that same reason Chefetz rarely takes vacations. He was in Aspen once Ave., Miami Beach, 305-532-4700) in December of ’96 and sushi spot Shoji Sushi in March 2001, dominating the neighborhood. But by 2004, he was when he received the call that Bill Clinton and Tom Brady were both dining in again looking for a way out. He wanted to enjoy the tropical weather and sandy the restaurant. “I’m literally having heart palpitations that I’m not going to be beaches that had lured him to Miami in the first place, so he shifted his entre- there to orchestrate the evening,” he recalls. “I was actually able to get Tom preneurial mind to real estate and struck a deal at 112 Ocean Drive to roll the continued on page 112

continued from page 111 Brady to go meet President Clinton, but I did it through a manager.”

So instead of expanding outward, Chefetz manifested his destiny on one corner of South Beach, building Prime Hotel, a luxury boutique hotel, and Prime Italian (101 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach, 305-695-8484), a restaurant that adds items like a one-pound Kobe meatball to the popular Prime menu. Both are within steps of Prime 112 and Big Pink, allowing Chefetz to be everywhere at once.

His concepts have gone global, with his versions of mac and cheese, creamed spinach, tuna tartare, and other menu items popping up in steakhouses worldwide.

You’d think that now would be the time for Chefetz to finally enjoy that rest and relaxation he so desperately desired 20 years ago. After all, he has a perennially top-10-earning restaurant in the country (“We do north of $23 million a year”) and an almost four-year-old daughter running around the house keeping him busy during every last free second on his schedule. But instead he’s added to the empire with Prime Fish in the old Nemo location.

At Prime Fish (100 Collins Ave., Miami Beach), Chefetz is bringing back some old Nemo favorites like the wok-charred wild king salmon and fun dishes from his youth—“I loved the fried clams at Howard Johnson’s as a kid,” he says—but the main Prime Fish hook is the à la carte fish sautéed, blackened, grilled, or steamed to the customer’s preference.

“I’m looking at more of a healthier component,” says Chefetz. It also means more tasting, because while Chefetz is not a chef, his refined palate (developed as a teen from his mother’s cooking) helps to make sure the food is consistently perfect. “The food has got to be a slam-dunk, home-run winner every night,” he says. “You can have a hundred Ferraris lined up out front, but if your food is off, you’re done.”

So that month-long trip to Italy or summer in Napa that he fantasizes about will have to wait. “I don’t know what the end of the story is for Prime 112. I believe you’re really only as good as your last meal. So, am I going to be with a walker walking around that place 20 or 30 years from now? I don’t know. I wish my daughter FROM LEFT: With Nicole were old enough; she’d be working in there and Al Reynolds at Prime 112; Dwyane right now, probably begrudgingly. She’s Wade at the restaurant only three and a half, so maybe two more after the Heat’s first championship win, years.” mylesrestaurantgroup.com OD in 2006.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT Chefetz takes a rare breather from his post atop Prime 112.

Out of the restaurant, onto the court: “I play basketball. That’s my exercise now. I used to be a yoga guy. Before, I was a spinning guy. I do everything I can to not injure myself. My NBA player customers laugh when I tell them that’s what I do.”

Eating local: “I dine at Prime 112 every night, and my office is above Big Pink and I eat at Big Pink every day, and I have line checks and I taste things.”

Favorite celeb customer: “I have a lot [of celebrity customers].

This is a tough one. Alonzo Mourning because I look up to him for all he’s done in the community and he’s extremely loyal. He’s really a local icon, and he’s very loyal to me.”

“At this point, [I would be] retired. I was an attorney, and I could not imagine doing it again because I have to deal with lawyers all the time and they’re too expensive. If I were retired, I’d probably be eating in restaurants. I love going to Napa.

People drink their way through Napa; I ate my way through Napa. I had never eaten so well in my life.”

BEACH PATROL “I decided to make bourbon, maple syrup, and bacon ice cream. People have gone nuts over it,” says Suzy Batlle, at her Azucar Ice Cream Company.

Abuela Maria, a heady mix of guava, cream cheese, and the ubiquitous Maria cookies that has become so popular that Batlle even trademarked it. “People will see me on the street and start screaming, ‘Abuela Maria!’ Not that I look like an Abuela Maria, I hope!” Batlle says.

In fact, Azucar can trace its roots to Batlle’s actual grandmother. “She made ice cream for the family,” Batlle reminisces. “My grandfather was a sugar mill engineer, and they traveled throughout Central America and South America all the time for his job. Because of that, she was able to make ice cream from all different sorts of places.”

“Little Havana is probably more Cuban than Cuba itself!” Batlle remarks.

Thankfully, her schooling paid off: “I was selling out from day one, which is the most unbelievable story in the world,” she says.

And when it comes to refining and discovering new creations, the adage “It takes a village,” rings decidedly true here. “When I first opened, I had coconut and guava—the regular stuff like that,” she says. “But these guys at Dominoes Park were screaming that I wasn’t Cuban enough if I didn’t have mantecado [butter bun],” she adds with a laugh.

Having never tasted the flavor, which has notes of cinMIAMI NATIVE SUZY BATLLE BRINGS THE DISTINCTIVE namon, Batlle relied on her taste testers in the park. “I FLAVORS OF CUBA TO HER AWARD-WINNING ICE CREAM would go back and forth with little trays of ice cream, and PARLOR.

While Azucar is in no short supply of accolades, it is the validation from her Cubans. And, at Cuban-American Suzy Batlle’s ice cream parlor Azucar Ice Cream Company, they are also among the 70-plus flavors customers that brings Batlle the most joy. “I’ve actually had old people come of house-made confections.

Suited for Play

THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY HAS MET ITS MATCH WITH MORGANS HOTEL GROUP REGIONAL VP JP OLIVER, WHO SEEKS A UNIQUE OUTLET FROM THE TYPICAL DAY JOB.

P Oliver zoomed to work on his 1100 Ducati motorcycle this morning. Yesterday, he drove the muscular vintage 1953 Ford F100 pickup truck, and the day before that, a sleek new Maserati sports car.

Last Saturday, he skateboarded to the office, and he’s pretty sure he rode his bicycle in on Monday. And then there’s FlyWheel.

“I have an obsession with wheels, and I’ve had it my entire life,” says Oliver with a chuckle. “I still think I’m 12 years old, I guess.”

That sense of play is impressive considering how busy Oliver is. For the last five years, he has served as the regional vice president for Morgans Hotel Group, which puts the iconic South Beach hotels the Delano, the Shore Club, and the Mondrian under his wing. He’s also involved in new projects in the Bahamas and Colombia. It’s far from the average 9-to-5. In fact, it’s 24/7.

“I love what I do,” says Oliver, who gets about four hours of sleep a night. “You commit to excellence and make every single thing you do count.”

So how does he manage the non-stop pace? By indulging his inner 12-year-old before and after work.

“Every day is like Saturday for me. Work is play. It’s been good for me, my guests, and my employees,” says Oliver. “I wake up at 5:30, and I probably get more done before most people have had their first cup of coffee than they’ll get done all day. There is no division between the week and the weekend for me. The phones are a little bit quieter on a Sunday than they are on a Monday, but that’s about it.” For Oliver, that means squeezing in a joyride during the morning commute, a workout before sunrise, or riding his skateboard to a meeting.

Whipping through the properties he oversees or making a circuit through nightclubs like FDR and restaurants like Bianca after hours—he rarely eats at home—Oliver treats the city like his playground, both with the energy he brings to work and the joyriding he does around town. It’s a natural progression from his childhood in Melbourne Beach, Florida, where his family worked in the hospitality business. Miami, however, is an entirely different game, one he’s clearly mastered.

“Miami is a vacation destination for those who live and work here as well,” says Oliver. “It’s a city that never sleeps, so it’s perfect for a person who never really sleeps. I can’t get enough of it.” OD

DYNAMIC DUO

Big Dreams SINGER PHIL COLLINS AND ORIANNE COLLINS CELEBRATE THE EXPANSION OF THEIR LITTLE DREAMS FOUNDATION INTO MIAMI, GIVING CHILDREN A CHANCE TO EXPLORE THEIR LIFE PASSIONS. BY JARED SHAPIRO

F

What was the inspiration for your foundation?

Phil Collins: I was always getting letters from ambitious kids who think they’ve got talent and want to get into the music business, asking if I could help them. Orianne had her own company organizing events, and we thought, Why don’t we form a foundation to help some of these kids? And because most of them were youngsters in their early teens, we just thought, “Little Dreams.”

I drew the logo. It all fell into place very easily, the name, the logo. And when things seem to work that quickly, when things fall into place like that, sometimes that’s the best omen.

The kids have such interesting goals, from motocross to karate.

Orianne Collins: Children have their dreams. They come up to you and they say, “I want to become this, I want to do that.” So how can we help?

Have you worked specifically with any of these kids?

PC: More in the early days. We did our 10th-anniversary gala in Switzerland, about three years ago. I sang “True Colors” with all of the singers. I’ve done “Easy Lover” as a duet with one of the kids, and “You Can’t Hurry Love” with them as the backup singers. I’ve worked with the drummers, guitar players. I’m a very hands-on guy; I don’t just come in and sing. I believe in rehearsing and rehearsing, and you can only get better. And so sometimes that can rub off.

You have many big names mentoring and helping out—Tina Turner, Natalie Cole, Phil Collins…. Who do you think will do that in Miami?

OC: There are many local people that it would be nice if they would help. I know there’s Pitbull and a few others. Of course, Romero Britto is helping us.

PC: I’m amazed when I watch the NFL and the NBA; those organizations are doing great work with kids. So you’re lucky to find someone who hasn’t got their own charity already. Obviously people only have X amount of time.

These kids are so talented but just don’t have the opportunities.

PC: They don’t have the opportunity and they don’t have the finances. If there’s X amount of money to go around, there’s other things that the family needs that don’t include dance tuition, that don’t include drum lessons. That’s where the foundation comes in with not only giving them the opportunity but also paying for the tuition and the guidance. ldf.cc OD

ourteen years ago this February, Phil Collins and ex-wife Orianne Collins created the Little Dreams Foundation. Their mission was to fulfill the dreams of children who financially had no means to further their success in music, arts, and sports, and it’s paid off. Participants have gone on to be world-class figure skaters, Olympic sailors, world-ranking tennis stars, singers, and more.

Now the Little Dreams Foundation is expanding into Miami. This March, the organization will start its search for local children to enlist in its programs.

Here, Phil and Orianne, parents of two Miami children themselves, discuss their charity efforts.

Grape Move WEST COAST WINE PURVEYOR CHRIS RADOMSKI LANDS ON THE BEACHES OF MIAMI, MAKING HIS 2014 A GOOD YEAR FOR WINE, FAMILY, AND BUSINESS. BY JON WARECH

The move to Miami wasn’t the first time Radomski, 48, followed his gut instincts. Growing up in Canada, he earned a college degree in biochemistry and went on to law school (in Canada and at the University of Detroit Mercy) before moving to the Caribbean to work in finance. But by the mid’90s, he decided to pursue his passion: wine.

It started with a friendship. He and his partner, fellow Canadian Jayson Woodbridge, whom he met while skiing on Whistler Mountain, shared a love of wine and shook hands on acquiring property in Napa Valley to produce a small, single-vineyard Cabernet. “When we started the winery, we put everything we had into it,” he says of the bold move west. “It was an continued on page 124

hen thinking of the best place to find a vintage Cabernet, Napa Valley probably comes to mind for a bottle of 2001, 2007, or even 2012. If you want a bottle of fine wine in Miami Beach in 2014, you have to ask a sommelier; grapes and sand don’t exactly mix. But for Chris Radomski, president of Hundred Acre Wine Group, Miami Beach is now officially wine country.

“Over time my family, especially my wife, always asked [me] where I wanted to end up,” says Radomski, who moved his family to Miami Beach from California last August. “As time went on, we decided we wanted to be in a place where we could spend the rest of our lives and raise our family.”

“In my daughter’s school, there are kids from 40 different countries.”

Other than the weather, what’s the difference between where you grew up in Canada and Miami?

“Canada is altogether different. I grew up in a lower-middle-class family, in the suburbs. I didn’t really experience much. There’s a major difference between where I grew up and a place like Miami or Southern California, which is more affluent. You don’t see Bentleys in Toronto.”

ational YoungArts Foundation President and CEO Paul T. Lehr has a lot to say. He can speak fluidly about how his Miami-based organization works to identify the nation’s most talented high school students, flying them to its campus on Biscayne Boulevard each year. And he is unmistakably skilled at discussing the distinctions in the 10 performance categories.

It’s also clear that the stack of statistics he stores in his head is keeping pace with the growing scholarships the YoungArts organization facilitates, not to mention the famous alumni it produces (Nicki Minaj and Adrian Grenier, to name a few). But Lehr will not name—under any circumstances, not on and not off the record—the feature films in which he himself has appeared.

“I was always getting roles, but there’s a reason I’m an arts administrator and not an actor,” he says with a laugh. “I am a classically trained pianist and thespian. Arts and music have always been at the center of my life.”

Today, from his office seven stories above Biscayne Bay, Lehr is ensuring

art becomes a central and permanent part of life for an increasing number of American teens.

More than 11,000 young people—a number that’s doubled over the past three years—ages 15 to 18 apply for the opportunity to come to Miami and perform, exhibit, or train with masters such as Mikhail Baryshnikov, Jacques d’Amboise, Plácido Domingo, Bill T. Jones, Quincy Jones, Mary Walkley, and Martin Scorsese. The number of winners since Lehr took the helm has grown from 150 to 800. Over the program’s life, it has awarded $6 million to students and has facilitated more than $150 million in college scholarships. The nationally renowned program has also over the past three years spun off regional successions in New York and Los Angeles.

“The goal is to change these kids’ lives,” says Lehr. “To give the validation and confidence by helping them to take the next step and giving them continued on page 128

Name: Yara Travieso, dancer and choreographer Challenge: “Everyone was pushing me to apply to The Juilliard School and I said, ‘No way, I’m not good enough.’”

YoungArts door-opening: Being seen by Juilliard’s dance director and getting the audition that eventually led to a full scholarship.

Today’s credits: Multimedia opera, pas de deux installation, and a short film for a French design house.

Name: Tarell McCraney, actor and playwright Challenge: “The year I applied to YoungArts I got an honorable mention, so I couldn’t go to YoungArts week. But I skipped school to see the concert. It was an amazing, eye-opening experience. One that demanded I either work my hardest and truest or not at all.”

YoungArts door-opening: “YoungArts sent me information on incredible opportunities after graduation: auditions for a Sundance apprenticeship, scholarships, studyabroad programs, etc. It was really generous.”

Today: With a master’s degree in fine Tarell McCraney arts from Yale School of Drama, he’s an associate artist at the Royal Shakespeare Company, a Hodder Fellow at the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University, and an ensemble member at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company.

continued from page 126 exposure, create opportunities not just with prize money but with access to scholarships.”

That’s exactly what happened to Yara Travieso, a 2005 New World School of the Arts student who attended the national summit. Her college plans were all but solidified until she performed in YoungArts before an audience that included Lawrence Rhodes, artistic dance director at The Juilliard School.

Though she hadn’t applied to the prestigious New York school, that particular show secured her an audition that eventually led to a full scholarship.

“It was a nervous moment,” says Travieso. “Dancing a solo in front of your heroes. But YoungArts gives you the validation you need to take risks. For me, it was the stone in the lake that created so many wonderful ripples for years.”

YoungArts was founded in 1981 by the late founder of Carnival Cruise Lines, Ted Arison, and his wife, Lin, after organizers of the US Presidential Scholars Program—which recognizes the country’s highest-achieving high school seniors at White House-sponsored receptions and award ceremonies—came calling for help. The organizers wanted funding to build out the program so it could acknowledge and include the nation’s most gifted artists. The Arisons denied the funding request but —PAUL T. LEHR more than fulfilled those intentions by creating the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts.

While the name was recently shortened to YoungArts, it remains the country’s most prestigious arts competition and is the exclusive nominating organization for the US Presidential Scholars in the Arts. Three years ago, the organization made real estate headlines when it bought the former Bacardi Tower and museum buildings and began to transform the city blocks into a multidisciplinary arts complex and campus designed by Frank Gehry.

Last month, YoungArts held its annual gala—where it raises the bulk of its funding—and this February, the Miami regional winners will for one week both showcase and fine-tune their talents.

“It’s one thing if your acting coach says you’re good,” Lehr notes. “It’s another thing when Kathleen Turner says, ‘This is what you were meant to do.’

It’s a national program saying, ‘You’re one of the best in the country.’”

In addition to receiving attention from movie stars and US presidents, YoungArts alumni get noticed by the country’s most competitive arts colleges. continued on page 130

THE LEGEND OF

CASA HERRADURA The legend of Tequila Herradura begins when its founder, Aurelio Lopez, was out inspecting the agave fields and saw a glint of gold on the dusty ground in the distance.

When he picked up the gleaming object, it was a horseshoe which had caught the sunlight at the perfect angle. It may not have been a treasure, but a horseshoe means good fortune. He built his distillery on that very spot and named his tequila Herradura.

congratulate Micah & Whitney Stansell who with Look Inside have been awarded $100,000 in the 2013 Herradura Barrel Art competition at the Miami finale event at LMNT. While most would approach the barrel as an aesthetic object, these artists explored it as a utilitarian one, with a particular historical purpose. Doing so led the two to leave the exterior completely unchanged, while the inside — the important part — became art. The interior was made into a zoetrope, paying homage to early cinema devices. The early zoetrope was once considered a magical object in its day, much as alchemists believed the distilling of spirits was magical as well.

We’d like to thank all the artists who committed their time and talent to making this program such a success.

Let’s raise a glass and toast to craft, inspiration and genius of everyone involved. Salud!

here’s something paradoxical about the idea of the world’s newest and most innovative boats beached in convention halls or moored in marinas when the best place to fall in love with them is out in the wet beyond, surrounded by miles of water. “Only there can you see how they fit, how they really operate,” says Peter Johnstone, the founder of Gunboat, one of the premier yacht companies at the show. But there’s convenience in conventions, and that’s why an expected 2,000 companies, 3,000 vessels, and over 100,000 visitors will attend the Miami International Boat Show February 13 to 17. What is on display at the annual show is the latest in refined indulgence. Nothing says that better or more loudly than a few of the newest yachts that will be tethered across the street from the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.

The new megayacht-caliber catamarans might just be the belles of the ball. They move faster than most race boats and are five-star homes right down to their gourmet galleys. High speeds with high-end food—who isn’t in? Or, as Johnstone says, “Previously, the catamaran was regarded as floating condominiums for the charter market. This blows away that old idea.”

The Gunboat 60, for instance, is built with carbon fiber, the lightest, strongest, most impact-resistant material. So this new brand of performance catamaran isn’t just stronger; it’s lighter and, therefore, faster. It’s also more chic, with custom windows providing natural light to the traditional caveman feel of monohulls. Four staterooms offer queen-size beds (an additional crew quarter has two twin beds). The master stateroom has stairs up to an elevated bed for added elegance. Plus, the traditional teak on panels and woodwork is supplemented with cherry, makore, and sapele. One subtle touch: a barbecue built into the aft beams in case a seafaring trip demands a cookout.

Another high-end cat on display is the Lagoon 52, on its debut tour. It is the result from a decade’s work. For instance, the continual moving of masts

farther aft on the Lagoon race boats was done to center the weight better, improve the sail plan and, ultimately, increase speed. That designed idea for the masts has been transplanted into the Lagoon 52, along with options for first-class interiors. Want a gray Alpi oak or Milano oak floor? Black or white leather or fabric Arredo crème as upholstery? The four custom suites all come with double beds and organic lighting thanks to fixed hull windows positioned to provide healthy views out over the water.

If the catamaran isn’t your mode, the S2 Yachts’ Tiara 50 Coupe brings Garmin and Volvo together for the first time in a North American yacht to have all engine, navigation, and mechanical information together on a touchtone screen in the cockpit. And the twin Volvo diesel engines, of your choice of 625 horsepower or 725 horsepower, mean speeds on the plus side of 30 knots. It also features a relatively open design for such a large boat, with nouveau use of windows, sliding-glass doors, and European expanse to allow guests to see all the way through the salon area into the cockpit.

Also on the hot list is revered Italian boatmaker Riva’s 86 Domino in the company’s new metallic ice color. The shape, based on Riva’s smaller, more athletic models, makes it more of an oversize sporty yacht as opposed to a small-ish megayacht.

The look is sleek without gilding the lily, and interiors are clean, as if pulled from a contemporary Italian manse, with plenty of room for entertaining— there’s a table for six on the massive bow sundeck, and another in the cockpit.

Line all the toys up at the Miami boat show, and you have miles of yachts, powerboats, sailboats, and various engines, electronics, and marine gear to inspect. That’s the convenient part of the event. The fantasy remains imagining yourself on the boat, surrounded only by water. February 13–17 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, Sea Isle Marina, and Miamarina at Bayside. For more information, visit miamiboatshow.com. OD

THE MAGIC CITY Jane Holzer became part of pop-culture history in Andy Warhol’s infamous screen tests and short films. Screen Test: Jane Holzer (1964)(TOP TWO FRAMES, BOTTOM); Kiss (1963–’64).

What Became of Baby Jane I

t’s tough to pin down the exact moment a new cultural era begins. But if you’re looking to make sense of the uptown crowd’s embrace of the downtown whirl in the ’60s, focus on one afternoon in the fall of 1963. Then zero in on the Manhattan corner of Lexington Avenue and 59th Street. Fashion model and Palm Beach native Jane Holzer, already that season’s premier It girl, was accompanying Show magazine Art Director Nick Haslam to yet another cover shoot. The pair bumped into a pal of Haslam’s— Andy Warhol, then a commercial illustrator in the process of re-creating himself as an avant-garde artist.

Dispensing with the pleasantries, Warhol was quick to spot a golden PR opportunity.

“Andy said to me, ‘Do you want to be in the movies?’” Holzer recalls, raising her voice into a spot-on Warhol imitation. Her response? “It beats the shit out of shopping at Bloomingdale’s every day.”

Of course, Holzer imagined she’d be starring in something akin to Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, the recently released camp thriller that a Women’s Wear Daily writer invoked for her media nickname.

However, Warhol’s films were anything but Hollywood-bound. “There never was a script. Some of them were quite weird,” Holzer explains.

Indeed, weird is a good starting point in describing these black-and-white shorts: Narrative structure is tossed aside, with Holzer alternately mugging for the camera alongside a revolving crew of Warhol’s Factory regulars or pouting sexily in a close-up to hypnotizing effect. Five decades on, these films retain their otherworldly intensity—in full evidence throughout “To Jane, Love Andy: Warhol’s First Superstar,” an exhibition at West Palm Beach’s Norton Museum of Art. The show chronicles the duo’s collaboration on and off the continued on page 138

THE MAGIC CITY

“All I was doing was having fun.... I didn’t realize what a genius Andy was.”—JANE HOLZER continued from page 136 screen, not only capturing Holzer’s role as Warhol’s muse but also the larger world unfolding around—and in turn being influenced by—that seminal moment in art history.

It’s not hard to imagine what riveted Warhol on that Manhattan street corner in late 1963—or what drew him to bask in Holzer’s public afterglow during the following year. “Her style of life has created her fame,” observed Tom Wolfe in his celebrated 1964 New York Herald Tribune profile of Holzer, “The Girl of the Year,” raising an appreciative eyebrow as she evoked “rock and roll, underground movies, decaying lofts, models, photographers, Living Pop Art, the twist, the frug, the mashed potatoes, stretch pants, pre-Raphaelite hair, Le Style Camp.”

Holzer herself seemed nonplussed by the media attention: “Some people look at my pictures and say I look very mature and sophisticated,” she told Wolfe. “Some people say I look like a child, you know, Baby Jane. And, I mean, I don’t know what I look like, I guess it’s just 1964 Jewish.”

Yet by 1965, both Warhol and Holzer had moved on. Edie Sedgwick was the new queen of the scene, replacing Holzer as both screen star and party-hopping sidekick. Which suited Holzer just fine. Though she remained good

friends with Warhol, she says she had little interest in the dark, druggy atmosphere that had overtaken the Factory: “I just wanted to get the hell out of there. It gave me a bad feeling, so I left. It wasn’t Andy, it was just everybody around him.”

Warhol’s own posthumously published diaries detail Holzer’s second act: a move behind the camera producing the 1985 Academy Award-winning Kiss of the Spider Woman (recent projects include the 2012 headline-grabbing Spring Breakers) and her emergence as a savvy real estate developer, managing her family’s impressive chunk of Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue as well as flipping seven-figure townhouses in New York. Yet Holzer is as conflicted as ever in trying to analyze her larger-than-life persona. “I’m thrilled the Norton is doing it,” she says of the museum’s exhibition, “but I’m frozen inside when I think about the idea of being so publicly intimate…. it’s terrifying! It’s one thing to be in a movie or to produce a movie. If I’m in it, I’m just a pawn. Or if I produce it, I’m just a check. It’s not about me.” And then there’s the odd sight of seeing her image up on the museum’s walls. “It’s like an epitaph,” she quips.

Such a sense of abashment seems odd coming from a figure whose initial fame was so firmly tied to living her life in the public eye. So what does Holzer see when she looks back at her 23-year-old self in one of Warhol’s iconic screen tests? “All I was doing was having fun. I was in the moment,” Holzer chuckles. “I didn’t realize what a genius Andy was. Now, in retrospect, you say, ‘Oh my god!’” The Norton Museum of Art features “To Jane, Love Andy” through May 25.

ART FULL The Flying Blue Cat, Larry Poons, 2011.

Riot of Nature

T

he setting for heavyweight New York Abstract Expressionist Larry Poons’s new show is anything but traditional. Step outside the exhibiting gallery’s white walls and you’ll be amid the lush grounds of Key Biscayne’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center—Manhattan’s crowded gray sidewalks and taxicab-choked avenues have been traded in for mangroves and a sun-dappled shoreline, all teeming with wildlife. That explosion of color is reflected in this latest batch of oversize canvases by Poons, each covered in eye-popping rivulets of paint flowing around and atop each other to an engrossing effect. Consider it the latest evolution in Poons’s approach, one that has morphed from a geometric minimalism in the 1960s to a thicker Pollock-ian pour in the 1970s, and on to today’s open-thefloodgates aesthetic, as busy as nature itself. But while Poons is a longtime

140

friend of Nature Center Director Theodora Long, as well as a supporter of the center’s mission of environmental education (which will be aided by proceeds from these artworks’ sale), he insists the setting itself is irrelevant to viewing. “It shouldn’t matter whether you’re looking at a painting in the Vatican or not. A great painting is a great painting,” Poons explains. As for the surrounding greenery of the Nature Center, “It’s a little bit like we’re going to watch a movie—but not in a movie theater. If the movie’s any good, you’re not thinking about whether you’re in the jungle. If the movie’s no good, then you start worrying about the lions coming to eat you.” Larry Poons’s “One and Only Just for Nature” is on exhibit at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center through May 3.

Dropping Anchor TATTOO ARTIST AND INK MASTER CHRIS NÚÑEZ IS FINDING THE SWEET SPOT IN WYNWOOD WITH HANDCRAFTED MIAMI.

BY DEBORAH L. MARTIN

152

PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK GARCIA

W

hen you walk into tattoo parlor/art gallery Handcrafted Miami, one of the first things you notice is the real World War II anchor embedded in resin in the concrete floor of the entrance. Owner and Miami native Chris Núñez explains. “This is my place to drop anchor. It keeps me grounded here, where I’m from.”

Currently starring on Spike TV’s Ink Master, now finishing up its fourth season, and previously a partner in the South Beach shop Miami Ink and star and cocreator of the TLC reality show of the same name, the artist is passionate about this new venture. “I’ve been bouncing around since I first started tattooing. This is a place where I have roots.” And roots are a big part of the theme at Handcrafted Miami.

Tattoo parlors have always had a bit of art gallery in their DNA. Most tattoo artists hang their drawings, and the walls of many shops are covered with inspiration and the work of other artists. But Handcrafted Miami is something entirely different. Says Núñez, “I wanted it to be a social club as well as a tattoo shop and art gallery, a place where local artists and like-minded creative thinkers from all over the world can come in, have some coffee or a drink, and hang out together and trade ideas and collaborate.” Wynwood’s burgeoning art scene proved a perfect fit. “Choosing Wynwood as a location was important. It’s a real neighborhood where we can have an impact and where we can establish deep roots.”

Núñez knows a thing or three about Miami neighborhoods. The 43-year-old former graffiti artist grew up on the streets of the city, quite literally. “I hung around with all these graffiti guys, and they were all tattooed,” he says. “And my art started to look more like tattoo art than graffiti. Tattooing was a natural progression for me.” In Handcrafted Miami, Núñez is now in a position to promote and encourage the work of other artists, both established and up and coming. “A lot of mainstream corporations use tattoo and graffiti imagery, but they are just photoshopping designs and creating something digitally that mimics what real artists are doing,” he says. “I want people to understand and see the artistry of tattooing, and I want the artists to get credit, and hopefully financial reward, for their work.”

The 3,000-square-foot gallery will, at least initially, feature “street” artists and tattooers who are working in all kinds of mediums, not just skin and spray paint. And while visitors are browsing the artworks, they just might be inspired to take some of it home for their walls as well as on their bodies. “Tattoo is an art form that lives with the person until he or she dies. It’s living art and that, to me, is what makes it really exciting.”

Against the Grain TATANKA GUERRERO AND BURTON WILKINS BRING THEIR SURF/SKATE VIBE TO SWEETWATER BEER GARDEN ON THE BEACH. BY STEPHANIE DUNN

Q

uestion: What kind of bar do two veterans of Miami’s nightlife industry create when given the chance?

Answer: Sweetwater Beer Garden. Started as a pop-up bar hidden in a leafy courtyard between the Ansonia and Plymouth Hotels, next month Sweetwater is getting a permanent home of its own in the courtyard of the South Beach Hotel. With the scent of barbecue wafting in the breeze and piped-in rock music, Sweetwater is decidedly more backyard than Black Card.

And that, says owner Tatanka Guerrero, is the point. He and partner Burton Wilkins are used to taking the pulse of Miami nightlife, having cut their teeth on some of the Beach’s most iconic parties (Guerrero is also part owner of Radio Bar). But Sweetwater’s

refreshingly offbeat vibe is informed by the partners’ travels and passions: Guerrero discovered skateboarding at age 10 when he arrived in the States from Chile, and Wilkins has traveled the Caribbean and Central America surfing competitively.

“Sweetwater reflects how we live our lives day to day,” says Wilkins. “You don’t see surfers in the club.”

Guerrero adds, “We’re not a transient city anymore, where people come to rage. That’s the old South Beach. People are actually living here, creating families, and opening businesses.

The locals have grown, and they’ve developed a voice.”

“At Sweetwater, everyone is someone. That’s the beauty of it.” 235 21st St., Miami Beach, 305-531-3464 OD

“Sweetwater reflects how we live our lives day to day.”

—BURTON WILKINS Guerrero’s fedora, critical for outdoor life, was given to him by Miami native and hat designer Tony Merenda, creative director at Christy’s London.

Of his shoes, Wilkins says, “They’re Vans, but lace up, more like a boat shoe. I wore them because the floral pattern really fits the motif of Sweetwater. It works with the vibe.”

154

The table Guerrero sits on is a salvaged Mexican flower cart that he and Wilkins bought from an antique dealer. The rustic stools were custom-made to fit the cart, repurposing it into a table.

Wilkins bought his jeans down the street from Sweetwater, at Atrium.

“I’m tall and lanky and J Brand jeans fit well.

You’ve got to stick with what works,” he says.

And the Oscar Goes to CELEBRATING HALF A CENTURY IN FASHION, COUTURIER OSCAR DE LA RENTA FOCUSES ON THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER AT THE ANNUAL DESIGNED FOR A CURE BENEFIT IN MIAMI. BY RAY ROGERS

A

t age 81, Oscar de la Renta is still leading the charge of his $500 million fashion empire. What drives him? “Greed!” he bellows. What a relief—a direct, honest word from a pillar of an industry known for hyperbole. Alas, he’s just kidding. The real response is far more romantic, anyway. “No. It’s just being able to design clothes that the human falls in love with.”

For a half-century now, the world’s luxe-loving women have fallen for de la Renta’s trademark elegant sophistication, a sensibility first honed under the mentorship of famed couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga. It’s a two-sided love affair. “I’m celebrating 50 years in this business, and I am so honored that I have been able to witness the evolution of women in the last 50 years,” says the Dominican Republic-born designer.

Helping women look their best has defined his career. This month, his glamorous, feminine designs will empower fellow cancer survivors at the Designed for a Cure benefit for the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami. The February 13 event will feature a runway show with patients (donning current Oscar de la Renta that is now available in stores) among the professional models dressed in the designer’s Spring 2014 collection.

“The idea behind this show is great because it gives hope to other people,” says de la Renta, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2006. “The aspect of surviving cancer is something that is very dear to anyone who is afflicted with this horrible disease. Every day, there is extraordinary progress being made, and the fact that, after I don’t know how many years of coping with it, I would be there with my long-time doctor and great friend Dr. Stephen D. Nimer [the director of Sylvester] is a great testimony to the advances and help from everyone. Eventually we will find a total cure.”

De la Renta has a soft spot for Miami in general. “I love Miami. Even if I am there for work, I feel that I am there on a holiday. It’s the closest place to my home country in the United States.”

When news of his cancer scare surfaced, the natural reaction was that perhaps de la Renta was finally gearing up for retirement. But now, a few years later, the last thing he wants to talk about is retirement. “That is the one word that I literally loathe,” he says. “It’s a word that doesn’t ever enter my mind.” Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-868-7986; oscardela renta.com.

The Gem Guru JEWELRY DESIGNER RONI BLANSHAY BRINGS HER UNIQUE SENSE OF DRAMA AND GLAMOUR TO BLOOMINGDALE’S AVENTURA. BY LAUREN FINNEY

“T

he expression of it is pure glamour,” says designer Roni Blanshay of her eponymous jewelry line, sought after by Oprah, Sophia Vergara, and more. This spring, she perfects the concept of layering to create a new look in her wildly popular designs, now sold at Bloomingdale’s at Aventura Mall. Settings are subtly layered on top of each other to give a 3-D effect, all in the name of stand-out statement jewelry.

Using classic shapes such as teardrops, evil eyes, moons, knots, and serpents, Blanshay has been able to fine-tune her place in the market with her signature contrast between natural elements such as bone with instantly recognizable and sophisticated touches like Swarovski crystals and semiprecious stones, with even more color injected into the designs this season. “The language of my jewelry is the decorative and the dramatic,” says Blanshay, who personally adheres to her mantra of “not being confined by age but Roni Blanshay only by attitude.”

Erica Russo, Bloomingdale’s operating vice president of fashion direction for women’s fashion accessories, fine jewelry, and cosmetics, says, “[Her] jewelry designs have been a customer favorite since we brought in the collection a few years ago.”

“Her pieces are what I like to call ‘game changers’—they can transform the white tee and jeans from simple to sophisticated, or elevate the little black dress from a basic to a red-carpet hit.”

—ERICA RUSSO “I want women to feel good in their skin,” says Blanshay, “and in Florida, where there is a climate that brings out the playful side, you have more fun decorating yourself. Plus, bling shows up well on a suntan!” OD

“Blanshay’s pieces transform the white tee and jeans from simple to sophisticated.”

he evolution of eyewear continues this spring with several launches, including trademarked technology that will change the way we shop for sunglasses and optical glasses.

Local optical powerhouse Edward Beiner Purveyor of Fine Eyewear (multiple South Florida locations; edwardbeiner .com) introduces Ottica Su Misura this season, which offers the first customizable sunglasses of their kind, allowing customers to select color and material. “We are thrilled with the design possibilities,” says Beiner, who has begun the program in his Worth Avenue outpost in Palm Beach and will continue to roll it out to his other eight South Florida stores with the final goal to have Ottica Su Misura stores across the country. The glasses, which start at $800, take six weeks to fully customize. “We work with a small artisan lab in Italy, and they can create the lamination for one frame only—one frame at a time,” adds Beiner.

Clients have over 30 shape molds to choose from, in addition to an endless array of colors and the ability to add a personalized mesEdward Beiner sage to the frame.

Retro shapes such as round and cat eye are returning as well. Heritage eyewear brand Cutler and Gross has teamed up with Sportmax (Max Mara, 216 Worth Ave., Palm Beach, 561-832-0069; sportmax.com) to create retro-inspired sunglasses that honor 1969, the year both brands were conceived. The collection, composed of six different styles, is available in four colors per style and, just like the brand’s clothing, features Sportmax’s signature single Swarovski crystal.

According to Oberlé Opticians (9552 Harding Ave., Surfside, 305-861-1010; oberleopticians.com) owner Bernie Oberlender, color is having a resurgence in eyewear. “Color is used subtly as a background or as a statement on its own, from bold hues of blue, including aqua, to shades of pink,” he says.

“Lenses are even more vibrant as well, with mirrored purples, golds, and blues.” Brands new to Oberlé this year include Sospiri, Bentley, and French designer Thierry Lasry. OD

If the Shoe Fits THE THIRD ANNUAL WINE, WOMEN & SHOES BRINGS A TOUCH OF FASHION WITH A HEAVY DOSE OF PHILANTHROPY TO BENEFIT THE MIAMI CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION. BY BRETT GRAFF

T

hink you’re being judged by the shoes you wear? Then you must be at the Wine, Women & Shoes event benefiting the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation. No one gets snubbed, and everyone is in attendance to support the mission of offering world-class pediatric medical care in Miami. But at this particular lunch, there are undercover judges peering around and scouting the stilettos in order to, at the afternoon’s end, publicly recognize the pair du jour.

“It’s so much fun, but it’s also an amazing cause,” says Tina Carlo, a committee member and mother of twins who were both treated at the hospital.

“This fundraising is essential because it allows the hospital to accomplish amazing things.”

164

Design house Roger Vivier will be the presenting sponsor for the event chaired by a litany of Miami’s biggest philanthropists. They’ll shop, sip, and strut around the Coral Gables Country Club on Thursday, February 6, starting at 10:30 AM. A Champagne reception and designer-soaked shopping extravaganza—where sought-after wines are among the offerings—will be followed by lunch and a highly anticipated Neiman Marcus fashion show.

It’s all to pour proceeds into the foundation so that Miami Children’s Hospital can both build upon its distinctive international standing—it has the largest children’s cancer center in Florida, a Brain Institute treating 45,000 kids each year, and a Congenital Heart Institute with

a 98 percent survival rate—and fund treatment of low-income patients, who in turn have access to the same medical care as the Carlo twins.

“We’re fortunate we can pay for medical attention, but we have to think outside ourselves,” says Dan Carlo, managing director of real estate giant Avison Young, who, with wife Tina, experienced firsthand the hospital’s medical and emotional expertise. The specialists there, the Carlos say, not only skillfully treated the boys physically but also put everyone at ease.

“I am struck by the sheer number of patients the hospital treats each year,” says Dan, pointing to the 91,000 emergency room patients, the 419,239 outpatient visits, and 14,360 surgeries performed just last year—and that’s not counting the primary services provided to children in highrisk communities. “We try to add value and add to the momentum because collectively we can make a difference. We’ve built something pretty special, but it requires continuing effort.” For more information, visit mchf.org/events. OD

YOU, EVEN BETTER Exotic flower extracts improve skin tone and minimize wrinkles in Dior’s agedefying Dreamskin formulation, a must in Miami’s sun-saturated climate.

PERFECT FOR MIAMI, DIOR’S NEW SKINCARE PRODUCT, MADE FROM EXOTIC BLOOMS AND TROMPE L’OEIL MINERAL POWDERS, TAKES ANTIAGING SOLUTIONS IN A NEW DIRECTION. BY CATHERINE SABINO

“A

fter women, flowers are the most divine creation,” said Christian Dior, who used them to inspire his fabrics and collections. The legacy of Dior’s flower passion may be the reason his couture house is likely the only one with its own gardens—eight flower plots scattered around the world, whose locations were chosen, as if by a discriminating vintner, for the quality of the terroir. Today, the rare and exotic varieties grown there provide the active ingredients for the company’s line of skincare products, and can also be found in its fragrances and cosmetics. The extracts from two recently discovered plants, longoza and opilia, harvested in Madagascar and Burkina Faso, respectively, form the basis of Dior’s new skincare product Dreamskin, the natural extracts from one (longoza) added for antiaging benefits, the other (opilia) to help correct skin’s color imperfections.

It’s unusual for a skin product to be both corrector and wrinkle treatment. But antiaging skincare, a white-hot product category, especially in youth-obsessed Miami, had to evolve from just treating wrinkles. (Numerous varieties of injectable fillers allow for many ways to get good, quick results.) These days, consumers want products that mitigate aging’s other effects—uneven texture and pigmentation—as much as over-the-counter wrinkle solutions.

Brigid Noé, director of product development and

166

innovation for Dior, says creating a product that improves tone and minimizes wrinkles was no easy task: “Usually formulas must contain a significant amount of powders and pigments for immediate, visible color imperfection results. But those don’t always allow for deep absorption.”

The epidermal cell structure is unique in how light interacts with it, according to Edouard Mauvais-Jarvis, scientific communications director for Dior. Epidermal cells provide a natural optical filter, their diffusive properties helping to even out color and texture. “But aging impacts cells that act as filters,” he adds. For its new product, Dior scientists sought to mimic how healthy cells filter by adding special mineral powders found in Japan—one with mica platelets, another with silica particles—to the flower extracts. The powders tested well for their light-diffusion properties, minimizing redness and other age-related textural imperfections. As importantly, they didn’t prevent the longoza essences from deep absorption.

What’s interesting about Dreamskin is how it appears creamy pink (from the color-correcting mineral powders) but applies transparently. It’s designed to be worn during the day or under makeup. So there’s a clever bit of trompe l’oeil at work in this latest magic from Dior. Dreamskin Perfect Skin Creator, Dior ($110).

SUNNY SOLUTION With Dior’s ongoing studies concerning how aging affects skin tone, Dr. Julio F. Gallo of The Miami Institute for Age Management and Intervention explains what happens to skin texture as we grow older and how our local climate impacts it.

While Miami’s bright days, balmy evenings, and yearround warm temperatures make for a paradisiacal landscape, they also pose a specific set of skin concerns.

“The most common challenge for skin in Miami is excessive sun exposure,” Dr. Gallo says.

“We have greater exposure to the photo-damaging effects of the sun. As time lapses, the effects of photo-aging become more prominent, seen as spots, stains, freckles, and roughness.”

James Beard-awarded chef Michael Schwartz expands his game-changing formula to South Beach with Restaurant Michael Schwartz, at the iconic Raleigh hotel; TOP: Shaded, candle-lit tables set the scene for a romantic evening.

itting in the courtyard of the Design District’s culinary anchor, Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, with a simply delightful dish of burrata cheese and heirloom tomatoes at the center of your undressed table and a pleasant lack of untz-untz issuing from the speakers, you might appreciate that the restaurant is everything a high-profile South Beach eatery is not.

This is all by design. So why, then, did MGFD’s namesake owner open his latest restaurant in South Beach, the very area whose glitz and glam his other concepts seem to spurn? And not in tucked-away Sunset Harbour, a South Beach sanctuary for good eats, but poolside at a beachfront hotel? continued on page 174

GREEN PERFECTION

An intimate dining room boasts a charming atmosphere rarely found in hotel restaurants; the menu encourages sharing with plates for all appetites.

continued from page 173 “I always said the only way I would ever do something in South Beach would be to do something there,” Michael Schwartz explains, “there” being The Raleigh, an “iconic property” that Schwartz feels engenders an uncommon sentiment in tourist-centric South Beach: local love.

“I don’t know what it is about the place,” he says. “But I think someone figured out that if the locals are rooting for it, maybe we should put in someone local who will give it the attention that it deserves.”

Schwartz, himself a longtime South Beach resident, is doing just that with Restaurant Michael Schwartz, which is not as surprising as it may seem to people familiar with Michael’s Genuine and restaurants Harry’s Pizzeria and The Cypress Room. While Schwartz may have made his name on the mainland, he cut his teeth as a restaurateur in South Beach back in the ’90s as part owner of the now-closed Nemo.

“I didn’t like what was happening on the Beach. It went from glam to corporate,” he says. “People like me who lived on the Beach didn’t really want to get gouged for valet parking and overpay for cocktails. So that’s when I decided it was time to do something in a different area. And I felt that the Design District was an extension of the Beach.”

More than a decade later, Schwartz is completing the circle, building a bridge from his Design District mini empire to his South Beach home with the pared-down approach to food that earned him a James Beard Award for Best Chef South in 2010. The timing, he says, is right.

“The Beach has changed,” Schwartz says. “There’s more legitimacy in terms of restaurant operators. And I also think that I’ve evolved and changed.

So it was a chance for me to go back there and do what I wanted to do on my own terms.”

Schwartz’s bold approach finds expression in straightforward flavors.

Executive Chef Danny Ganem says the simple green salad, of all dishes, exemplifies what Restaurant Michael Schwartz is all about. “Imagine the beautiful and crisp lettuce being harvested in the morning, driven from the farms to our restaurant the same day, washed and cut by the cooks, then seasoned, lightly dressed, and simply presented to our guests,” he says. “That whole process epitomizes who we are and what we do.”

Piece of Cake

S The poolside bar at The Raleigh draws visitors and locals alike.

continued from page 174 wedge of lime; the heirloom tomato with local stracciatella, strips of basil, cracked pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil; the grilled octopus with crushed hazelnuts; the grilled rib-eye cap steak with an unlikely yet complementary side of chickpeas—all show a restraint, ingenuity, and attention to seasonality that are hardly staples of South Beach dining.

The setting is also at odds with the typical South Beach dining experience, though very much in harmony with the Restaurant Michael Schwartz menu.

The Raleigh wears its historic Art Deco charm casually, and the restaurant’s palm-shaded, candlelit tables offer a relaxing view of the hotel’s iconic feature, a boldly outlined pool that, from the balconies overhead, resembles a watery coat of arms.

As much as RMS jibes with MGFD—the restaurants’ menus share certain snack dishes and a format that encourages sharing—Schwartz says he didn’t “just bring the greatest hits of Michael’s Genuine to the Beach.” For one thing, there’s “less pork, more fish” on the new restaurant’s menu, not surprising considering its beachside location.

(Ninety percent of the fish is local, adds Schwartz.)

Another distinguishing factor is that Restaurant Michael Schwartz handles food and beverage needs throughout The Raleigh, which necessarily changes the character of the restaurant.

But overall, as its name implies, the restaurant is distinctly Michael Schwartz, even if an untz-untz does occasionally pulse through the seating area from a nearby beach party. 1775 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-612-1163; raleighhotel.com OD

ylvia Weinstock has long been the grande doyenne of bespoke wedding cakes.

And while her Manhattan boutique will spirit confections across the globe, Weinstock has found a permanent home at the suitably luxurious St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort.

How did you get started in this business?

I liked to bake and cook more than my three daughters would like to eat, so I sold the cakes to local restaurants in upstate New York. I realized that nobody was making a highly decorated cake that was also delicious.

What sets your cakes apart?

We like to think we’re the Hermès of cakes. Our product is probably the best and the finest: We use buttercream, fresh fruit, and imported chocolates. And we’re known for our sugar flowers. They’re fabulous—it’s hard to tell the difference between our flower and the real flower; they’re botanically correct. And we talk to our clients; we try to do what they want. We interpret their dreams.

Are you doing any special flavors for your Miami clients?

For the first time, we’re talking about dulce de leche. Every country, area, and culture has different taste [preferences].

Tell us about your partnership with the St. Regis.

When you get married here, you’re offered a Sylvia Weinstock cake. I think the St. Regis is one of the classiest, finest hotels in terms of physical beauty, service, and food. Everything about it and its staff is oriented toward pleasing the client.

What about Miami inspires you?

There are people here who appreciate what we do: the Americans from the Northeast, and people from Brazil, South America, Russia, and China.

Miami is fun, and we want to create that ultimate fun cake that’s memorable but so delicious that they go back home and say, “I can’t believe it!”

Why do you love doing what you do?

How could one not like the adventure of life? This is what it is: You open a book and you say, “I’m about to embark on something fantastic. All the fantasies you could ever dream of—going places, creating something no one has ever done before.” Doesn’t that excite your spirit?

Open-air dining at Cecconi’s; Radio Bar’s Rosé Kiss; scallops at Casa Tua.

Love Is in the Air IN A TOWN FUELED BY HIGH-PROFILE MOMENTS, LOVE OFTEN TAKES A BACK SEAT. NOW, FIVE LOCAL ROMANCERS SERVE UP THEIR FAVORITE DISHES TO SHARE, AND REVEAL OUR CITY’S MORE AMOROUS SIDE.

BY JULIA FORD-CARTHER

Romancer reviewer: India Hicks, jewelry designer and founding member of Casa Tua Why Casa Tua: “The feeling of being removed from the hustle and bustle of South Beach, a hidden oasis behind a wall of green, a garden filled with candles and lanterns, fresh flowers, and starched white linen—what could be more romantic? The food and taste and flavor are completely European, which is often a challenge to achieve authentically in Miami. [My ideal romantic evening is] to be with my other half, David, at a small table in the upstairs bar having a cozy dinner with Miky and Leticia [Grendene], the owners and dear friends. At the end of the evening, there’s always a dessert, a plate of mini assorted Italian pastries and biscuits to be dipped into a sweet wine, or the cold zabaglione, with mascarpone cheese, rum flavor, and mixed berries. On a special night, I get a Bellini—fresh peach juice and Champagne.”

1700 James Ave., Miami Beach, 305-673-1010; casatualifestyle.com

SINGLES SCENE: Radio Bar Romancer reviewer: Teddy Collins, the “very happily with a girlfriend” bartender at Radio Bar Why Radio Bar: “Everybody leaves their egos at the door when they come in. Patrons make eye contact across the bar; I’ll feel the energy and flip a couple of shots. Guys are pretty polite about it and will be like, ‘Whatever that girl wants or needs or is drinking, fill it up, tell her it’s on me.’ Our drink menu is progressive. For February, I love avocado margaritas —avocado is an aphrodisiac. I like to use reposado tequila. It’s aged, so it has a nice barrelflavored, spicy taste. I muddle a half of an avocado, and I put in Chartreuse, which is an Italian liquor dating back to the monks. It’s a little bit creamy because the avocado has a nice silky texture. I also do a sugar, salt, and cayenne-pepper rim to get a sweet and spicy taste.”

FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME: The Setai Bar and Cecconi’s at Soho Beach House Romancer reviewer: William Garcia, concierge at the Delano Why The Setai and Cecconi’s: “For a first date, I would start at The Setai, having drinks at the bar. That courtyard in the back is one of the most romantic places here. They have a jalapeño-infused passion drink [the Chili Passion martini] that I like a lot. It’s busy but it’s not crazy, so you can actually have a conversation. And then, I would go to Cecconi’s. The setting is spectacular. It has an open-air courtyard, the lights in the trees, the mason jars hanging from the pergola on the roof. On a first date, keep it light. They have an amazing octopus. Oysters, especially because they’re an aphrodisiac, are a great choice. For the main courses, they have a branzino with cherry tomatoes and olives, which is excellent. A couple of glasses of rosé would be great with the appetizers. They have a really good Albariño wine that goes well with the seafood. It’s a very crisp white wine that I love. It’s such an elegant, laid-back, and relaxed place, you feel very at ease when you’re there.”

a bottle of Champagne, outside.

Everyone is super friendly. It’s not fussy, it’s not pretentious, which is what I like about it—it’s not so much ‘scene.’

If you’re going to connect with someone, you want an environment that’s conducive to just it being about you guys. Being outside on the water, great seafood, a great bottle of Champagne, and then maybe the beach afterward, it’s truly romantic. The location is just NATHALIE CADET-JAMES as important as the actual food. I recommend it to clients and friends.”

CRUISING CORNER: Whole Foods Market in South Beach Romancer reviewer: Zac Courtney, partner at digital creative agency DeepSleep Studio and cofounder of Teal Blue Management Why Whole Foods: “At Whole Foods, you’re going to find the health-conscientious girl who’s taking care of herself. My friends and I have posted up at the standing bar in front of the registers. We’ve spent a Sunday afternoon there pulling prosecco bottles from the refrigerated area and picking up sushi or the hot bites that are ready-made. My favorite snack is the Miami Beach/Lido Beach club sandwich, one of the ready-made hot sandwiches: turkey, Brie, and tomato pesto. We put an iPhone in a cup and play music, and eat and drink at the Whole Foods and just people-watch—check everybody out as they’re checking out.”

FLAVOR OF THE MONTH A glass of bubbly is no longer reserved just for special occasions.

Bubbling Up THE CONNOTATION OF CHAMPAGNE IS CHANGING, PARTICULARLY IN MIAMI, WHERE EUROPEANS KNOW HOW TO MAKE EVERY DAY A CELEBRATION. BY BIANA DEMARCO

182

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFF CRAWFORD

T

he adage “when in Rome” usually applies to travel, but since Miami is such a melting pot, with cultural norms blending from all over the globe, you get to pick and choose your traditions. Maybe that’s the subtext for our love of Champagne—we follow the lead of the French, who, amazingly, consumed a whopping 175 million bottles in 2012, as compared to the US’s 18 million, according to the Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne (CIVC). Even as US consumption has been on the rise for the past four years, the gap lies in a difference of mentality, says Enguerrand Baijot, managing director at Lanson International Americas. “Americans reserve Champagne for special occasions, whereas the French don’t need a special reason to celebrate life. It can be every day.” Of course, we all know Miami may be the most eclectic of our nation’s cities, and with our ethnic mix, an array of international cuisines, and a backdrop that appeals to all senses, life is one big celebration with or without the bride, championship trophy, or diploma.

Here, the Champagne tide is definitely starting to turn. More restaurants are serving better bubbly in wine glasses than ever before, allowing it room to open up and offer bouquet. Mixologists use it to add life and effervescence to cocktails, and companies like Moët & Chandon with its Moët & Chandon Imperial encourage us to drink it poolside over ice.

“Americans are discovering that Champagne has a place at the table yearround, and can be enjoyed throughout the entire meal,” says Donae Burston, regional marketing director at Moët & Chandon.

According to Jennifer Wagoner, the head sommelier at Zuma (270 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami, 305-577-0277), this is precisely why Champagne is being enjoyed so much more here. “It is all about the climate and the atmosphere.” At any given time, this waterfront restaurant with its light, delicate food and sun-kissed terrace can be transformed into the perfect getaway for a cool glass of bubbly and a savory bite.

Another Champagne-intensive locale is the SLS Hotel South Beach (1701 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-674-1701), where venues such as Bar Centro, Hyde Beach, Katsuya, and The Bazaar by José Andrés offer a landscape whose “high energy plays right into Champagne consumption,” says Lucas Paya, wine director at The Bazaar. Katsuya’s sushi pairs with a glass of Lanson Black Label Brut NV, while at The Bazaar, the French 75.2 cocktail blends sparking wine with Le Grand Saint sparkling vodka. Turn in any direction at the SLS, and you’ll find a lot going on. The frivolity and lightness of Champagne make perfect sense. OD

Nouveau Shabu Shabu AT THE FONTAINEBLEAU’S NEW MINA 74, MICHAEL MINA CLEVERLY BREAKS THE RULES, ADDING SHAPE AND LUXE FLAVOR TO SHABU SHABU. BY BILL KEARNEY

I

At the new Mina 74 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, shabu shabu is transformed into refined comfort food.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY GESI SCHILLING

f you’ve previously experienced shabu shabu (translated from Japanese as “swish swish”), you know it’s fun: dipping thinly sliced raw beef into a tasty heated broth at the table, then slurping the barely cooked beef down with whatever vegetables you’ve tossed in. Michael Mina, the creative force behind a 19-restaurant empire, which now includes Mina 74 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, describes his new spot, in the former Arkadia space, as a “modern-day supper club bistro” continued on page 186

THE DISH

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: Michael Mina carefully wraps the beef around daikon radish sprouts and enoki mushrooms; a seasoned roll; aromatic elements add sweetness and spice.

“Wagyu rib eye has that nice, strong flavor, so it holds up well.”

—MICHAEL MINA

Next-Level Elements Traditionally, the dish is served with a light dashi broth made with kombu seaweed and dried fish flakes, but Mina, who frequently sojourns to Japan, says, “We pushed up the flavor. We add a little bit of aromatics to it—mirin for sweetness and ginger for spice—and it offsets the wagyu beef really well.” He opts for rib eye from Japanese wagyu for its richness. “It’s super marbleized, really tender, but rib eye has that nice, strong flavor, so it holds up well [to the other elements].” Mina chills the beef until it’s really cold to keep it firm while slicing, and takes care to not let the slicer blade get warm and melt the fat.

A Novel Step Unlike traditional shabu shabu, which usually has a pile of sliced meat on the plate, Mina wraps the beef around delicate daikon radish sprouts and slender enoki mushrooms, making neat two-inch rolls to drop into the broth. He plates the rolls with watermelon radish slivers and shishito peppers (which you are also to drop in the broth), sprinkles everything with bonito flakes and sea salt, and puts the flaming pot of dashi broth in the middle.

186

At the Table As for the swish, Mina recommends letting the roll sit in the broth for 30 to 60 seconds.

“You could eat this raw, but I prefer Japanese beef closer to medium. It breaks down the fats a little bit when you cook it a little further. You’ll start to get a lot more flavor out of the meat.” But it is when you pluck the roll out of the steaming broth, dab it in a white miso dipping sauce, and take a bite that you realize the smarts of Mina’s roll architecture. The mushrooms and sprouts retain broth in their strands, adding savory layers and buoyant texture under the tender meat.

As the structure breaks down and everything mingles, you get different intensities of savory, subtle spice, and umami flavor, while the sweet tang of the white miso draws out the buttery nature of the beef.

Finishing Touch “When you’re done, you have this broth that’s flavored by the wagyu, and you drink the broth,” says Mina. Chase it down with a malty sweet Rogue Dead Guy ale, the restaurant’s pairing of choice, and you’ll be glad Mina has a habit of coloring outside the lines.

WORLD-RENOWNED CHEF SCOTT CONANT VISITS FRIENDS FROM THE CULINARY TRENCHES AND TUNES UP THE TEAM AT SCARPETTA FOR A BIG NIGHT. WE JOINED HIM FOR THE RIDE. BY BILL KEARNEY

Scott Conant, the culinary mind and TV star chef behind a six-restaurant empire, including five Scarpettas, and author of the recent The Scarpetta Cookbook, dodges the Alton Road construction and saunters into the calm of Macchialina. He’s decked out in a tailored Zegna sport coat, a dress shirt whose rather large collar stays magically upright, and a smile. Though the restaurant’s closed, he’s here for lunch with the owners, chef Mike Pirolo and his wife, Jen Chaefsky, along with Top Chef contestant and chef de cuisine at Scarpetta Nina Compton, and Director of Operations Chris Cuomo. Last night this crew reveled late at The Bazaar by José Andrés, and while none are quite bushy-tailed yet, the razzing begins, just like old times; Pirolo was Conant’s chef de cuisine at Scarpetta New York and here in Miami for four years before he stepped out on his own to launch Macchialina.

“When you work in a kitchen, you need to have a thick skin,” says Conant. “Someone is always the butt of someone’s jokes, so normally it’s Mike.” The crew laughs.

“There’s no crying in cooking,” says Pirolo. continued on page 190

After searing, a crucial detail: Always work the scallop juice from the pan back into the sunchoke sauce.

Don’t let it get too thick, and pour it between the cheeks of the two scallops. The staff chuckles at what might or

might not be innuendo. He chides them for having dirty minds. They indeed like this guy. Therapy’s working.

7 PM—Scarpetta dining room He’s signed 50 or so books, then works the room, shaking hands, nodding thanks to patrons as they swoon over his food. Then there’s the meet-and-greet with a table of Fontainebleau execs, photos with patrons. He’s gesticulating to a two-top, he’s dragged away by a server for a birthday photo with another table, there’s a giddy fan at the bar. Conant is, after all, a brand. “I realized a long time ago that the marketing aspect of all this stuff is really important, and I also learned that you may never trust anyone to tell your story.

This is an extension of myself. No one is going to be able to nurture this story or talk about this as passionately as I can.” There’s a pause in hellos and smiles. Food runners hustle through the kitchen doors, carrying his dishes. “You know the kitchen is like a sanctuary when the floor gets to be too much,” he says, and with that, walks through the double doors, shares a smile with Compton, and adds garnishes to a crudo plate that had a little too much negative space.

continued from page 188 We sit down at a long, rustic table, and Macchialina’s sous chef delivers two massive bowls of cacciucco, a resplendent Italian seafood stew with bay scallops, baby calamari, seared hog snapper, grouper, mussels, clams, big prawns, and a crusty bread for dipping. It’s utterly delicious. “This is beautiful, brother,” yells Conant to the sous chef. Pirolo smiles with pride. What’s it like for Conant when someone leaves his kitchen, as Pirolo did, to create his own restaurant? “What I say to everybody is, ‘There comes a time,’” says Conant. “You can be miserable that this person is leaving you, or you can embrace it, support them, and hope that you can fit someone into this role that’s even better.” He nods to Compton for effect, and the table busts out laughing again.

This kitchen fraternity, earned through the frenetic maelstrom of restaurant rushes, long hours, and a beer at the end of a shift, is enviable in a world where lots of professions involve mostly gazing at a computer monitor. Conant fell for the food game at age 15. “I walked into a kitchen for the first time—I was a dishwasher—and I absolutely loved what I found. I played a lot of baseball as a kid, and that camaraderie, that sense of team, really excited me.” And what about the love of actually cooking?

“When I realized I liked making people happy with this stuff, it was after years of therapy. It was such a deep insecurity trying to please people all the time—you want them to like you. I started to embrace that and direct it into a hospitality company in general. You’ve got to let go. I want to be enjoyable to be around.”

“He’s still working on that one,” adds Pirolo.

Born in Russia, in the city of Nizhny Novgorod, the tall and lanky Anne Vyalitsyna never dreamed of being a supermodel. Well, that’s not true. She dreamed of it, but certainly never thought it would actually happen.

But within six months of being discovered at 15, “Anne V” appeared in campaigns from Chloé to Chanel; a nine-year consecutive run in the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue followed. Now as a new host and mentor on Oxygen’s The Face (season two premieres in March) alongside Naomi Campbell, she’ll search for the newest face of Frédéric Fekkai.

What was it like growing up in Russia?

I come from a very normal family—both of my parents are doctors. But in Russia, doctors and teachers are the lowest-paid professions. So we never traveled; we didn’t have much money. But I always wanted to be a model.

How did the modeling dream start?

It was one of those dreams I never thought would come true. Every kid has an unrealistic goal like, “I’m going to be an astronaut,” but no one becomes one. I know it sounds so clichéd, but I never thought I was pretty. I was the tallest in my class and very skinny, and no boys liked me.

But you persisted.

I was at a casting at IMG, and they asked me to do a modeling contest. I had never done anything. And the only way my mom would let me do it was if she came with me. It was my first time on a plane, and I didn’t speak any English. It was also my first time in a five-star hotel, so I was just psyched I was somewhere else. My mom met all the models; Gisele was part of the show, Heidi Klum…. She was like, “This is actually not so bad!”

Did you want to leave Russia at this point?

Russia is amazing during the summer. It’s warm and green, with so many fields and rivers.

It’s stunning. But Russia during the winter is the most depressing place ever. Now I’m living an American dream. I just became an American citizen, and I feel like America is my home now.

What are some of the downsides to modeling?

For the young girls, it’s an industry that makes you not very confident. You’ll hear things like, “Not pretty enough.” “Too fat.” “Too skinny.” “Your nose is too big.” I learned how to deal with it, but I’m 27 years old and I know how hard it was when I was 18 years old to deal with those things. I was a child.

But today, do you recognize that you are pretty?

I’ve been modeling for 12 years and I can do it with my eyes closed. I know I’m pretty. But

there are a lot of things that I don’t like about myself. I wish I wasn’t this white. I never get tan. I wish I could eat everything and not put on weight. Sometimes I wish I didn’t have freckles.

What about dating in the spotlight [Vyalitsyna is currently dating baseball star Matt Harvey and previously had a high-profile romance with rocker Adam Levine]?

Honestly, it sucks, but it is what it is.

People don’t really realize that at the end of the day we all want to be loved. We all want to have normal families and relationships and kids. No one wants to get divorced and have someone create stupid dramas and articles about your relationship.

Did you ever struggle with modeling? Body issues, eating disorders?

When I was 18, I put on a lot of weight because I was eating pizza and pasta, and I didn’t know how to handle it. I never ate salads in Russia; we didn’t have salads. The only salads we had were with tons of mayo in them. It was really hard, and I’ve battled with it for many years.

Let’s talk about The Face. What makes the perfect supermodel?

You have to see beyond the beauty and beyond the height. If everyone knew how to become Gisele and Kate Moss, then everyone would be taking that path. There is no manual for the making of a supermodel. But no mean girls last a long time.

Speaking of… models… what was it like working with Naomi Campbell?

She’s awesome. It was quite an experience, because she is one of my idols. We would fight a lot, but we were all one big, happy family. I was mentoring girls, but in a way I was getting mentored by Naomi, too.

In the end, what is important to you?

I work with the charity called Red, which deals with mothers transferring HIV to their babies, and we went to Zambia in June—and really for the first time in my life, I realized that even though I’m not technically saving lives or donating millions of dollars and I’m not a doctor or a teacher, I have this opportunity that people see my face and know who I am. I have this opportunity to help, in this case my charity.

When you come to this realization that you can use your success and fame to do something in the world, I think that’s a really fantastic thing. OD

CHEF: MASAHARU MORIMOTO RESTAURANT: MORIMOTO SOUTH BEACH nown simply as Morimoto, this Iron Chef has been at the forefront of Asian-fusion cuisine ever since he burst onto the culinary scene in 1994 as the original executive chef at Nobu. His restaurants, which include Morimoto outposts in Philadelphia, New York, Napa, Honolulu, and Mexico City, have garnered critical acclaim and accolades from the James Beard Foundation. Morimoto South Beach, set inside the revamped Shelborne Hotel, proffers an ingenious mix of Western and Japanese ingredients coupled with a playful use of colors, aromas, and textures.

What is the most challenging dish you’ve ever made?

The one I made for Ferran Adrià when he came to my restaurant in New York City. I knew he wouldn’t be impressed with any fancy food. I came up with an idea: It was a fall season, so I ran to a nearby park, picked gingko nuts, roasted them in a small pan, and served them with a little salt. I explained to him that I picked those gingko nuts in a park for him. He smiled and ate the dish happily. I realized that the greatest ingredient was a sense of hospitality.

What other culinary scenes excite you?

I am really interested in Vietnamese food and culture. A typical Vietnamese meal is a bit similar to Japanese: rice, a soup, and a main dish. The Vietnamese also use soy sauce, miso paste, and tofu.

What is the ingredient used most often in your kitchen?

Rice. Rice is the core ingredient for all Japanese dishes. In my restaurants, we buy two different kinds of brown rice and polish them with a rice-milling machine on-site. This way we can retain moisture and serve tasty rice. For sushi in particular, it is extremely important—bad rice ruins sushi.

f you ask Susan Brustman, Miami’s dominant culinary publicist, what her favorite Miami restaurant was when she first moved here in 1978, she’ll laugh and say, “I used to fly back to New York to eat.”

Eight years later, as Brustman tells it, “A friend of mine said, ‘Susan, South Beach is the hippest place Miami has ever had. All it takes is one hip restaurateur to turn it around.’ I said, ‘Send him to me,’ and he sent me Gary Farmer.”

Farmer, now cultural affairs program manager of the City of Miami Beach, debuted The Strand restaurant in 1987 on a forlorn stretch of Washington Avenue. The likes of Mickey Rourke, Lauren Hutton, and Julian Schnabel showed up, and national publications such as Vogue took notice. “The opening was hosted by Interview magazine,” recalls Brustman.

“Edward Albee was there, and celebrities were coming every weekend. It created a buzz that accelerated everything.”

And so began a series of dramatic leaps that have brought us to the brink of being a world-class food city. Like a soufflé, our rise has been slow and exquisite. Today, global culinary deities migrate here, and

“Miami’s restaurant scene is focusing more on great food experiences, and that’s what we’re here to do: offer the city a great option for modern Italian cuisine.”

—TONY MANTUANO

homegrown talents redefine where and what to eat. But there were certainly some twists and turns along the way.

Back in the ’80s, tourists flocked to signature institutions such as The Forge and Joe’s Stone Crab, but something else was afoot, as South Florida’s abundant seafood and fruits began to inform a new generation of chefs. Allen Susser at Chef Allen’s, Dewey LoSasso at The Foundlings Club, Mark Militello at Mark’s Place, Norman Van Aken at a Mano, and Douglas Rodriguez at groundbreaking Yuca in Coral Gables were all making names for themselves. Brustman swears that “the ceviches and some of the seafood crudos that Doug [Rodriguez] was doing were ahead of Nobu.” Each of these young toques put his own spin on South Florida cuisine—New World, Floribbean, Nuevo Latino, and so forth. And with their penchant for tropical fruits, they were dubbed “the mango gang.”

A CHEF: TONY MANTUANO RESTAURANT: LORENZO ames Beard Award winner and Bravo’s Top Chef Masters season-two champion chef Tony Mantuano has Michelin-starred training, is a Food & Wine Best New Chef, and partner of Spiaggia, the only four-star Italian restaurant in Chicago.

Now he mixes a dash of casual with a pinch of elegance on Collins Avenue with Lorenzo, the new Italian hot spot inside The Redbury South Beach.

Does this particular menu put a Miami twist on your signature cuisine? If so, how?

We get to have a lot of fun with the ingredients and products available to us in Florida.

Our gnocchi with wild boar ragu is one of our most popular dishes at Cafe Spiaggia (in Chicago), and here we’ve been able to use Florida wild boar. The fresh fish, like wholeroasted pompano, swordfish, etc., is really exciting stuff. We also find little touches to speak to the area, such as in our cannoli filling—we’re using dried papaya—or in our gelatos and sorbet with some more fun tropical fruits.

What is your favorite Miami restaurant/hot spot and why?

Right before we opened Lorenzo, we dined at The Cypress Room, and that was awesome. The cooking was solid; the service was great. Everything about it, I liked.

Did you have any particular mentors or inspirations when first starting out? Are there any local chefs whom you admire?

When I first started Spiaggia, I went to Italy to train at some fantastic Michelin-starred kitchens. One was Dal Pescatore under the three-Michelin-starred Nadia Santini. I’ve learned a lot from her and try to send all of my chefs to stage with her.

merican media latched on, and by 1991, a Food Arts magazine cover story tagged South Beach as “the country’s hottest restaurant row.”

In reality, South Beach’s social scene was spicier than its cuisine, complete with giant frozen margaritas with a dozen straws.

A roster of New York eateries briefly opened, then folded. “They thought you could open a restaurant with the same name as New York and people would just come,” says China Grill’s Jeffrey Chodorow. “They didn’t realize you had to deliver on the product.”

Local chefs fared better and began to lay the groundwork for the scene today. Kerry Simon dazzled at Blue Star Café in the remodeled Raleigh Hotel, then Max’s South Beach in tandem with trending restaurateur Dennis Max. Jonathan Eismann’s Pacific Time on then-sleepy Lincoln Road was attracting attention for Pacific Rim dishes such as steamed halibut with coriander and lemongrass. David Tornek and chef Sean Brasel advanced the restaurant/lounge scene with Touch, then Kiss (they would eventually find their groove years later at Meat Market). And a couple of unknowns, Myles Chefetz and Michael Schwartz, became trailblazers in the funky South of Fifth neighborhood with their urbane and urban Nemo.

1995 was a watershed year: Johnny Vinczencz, “the Caribbean Cowboy,” inspired diners at the oh-so-trendy Hotel Astor, and Norman Van Aken’s eponymous restaurant in Coral Gables wowed with decadent dishes such as “Down Island” French toast with foie gras. But perhaps more pivotal was the arrival of two venues that created

scenes: Jeffrey Chodorow’s China Grill and Ian Schrager’s Delano Hotel.

Chodorow knew the lay of the land: The Miami Beach native had his bar mitzvah at The Famous.

His grand vision for China Grill translated to a massive space serving massive plates to opulent parties of South Beach insiders. Audaciously presented comestibles like crispy calamari salad with miso-lime dressing spiked with chili oil might as well have come from the moon. Everyone noticed, and talked. “When you bring something big and bold to a city and it works, it’s much easier to draw other restaurants,” Chodorow reflects. “Everything builds upon everything else.”

Schrager’s sublimely refurbished Delano was equally daring and eclipsed all that had come before it. Geoffrey Zakarian orchestrated its Blue Door restaurant, with Madonna as an investor.

Two years later, China Grill Management took over the hotel’s food and beverage operations.

Esquire named the establishment “Best New Restaurant of the Year.”

CHEF: GASTÓN ACURIO RESTAURANT: LA MAR ften referred to as the face of the Peruvian food revolution, blending the authentic flavors of his country in gorgeously inventive ways, Gastón Acurio has the ability to turn Peru’s cultural diversity into edible artwork. His roster of 35 restaurants in 12 countries includes Astrid&Gastón in Lima, which in 2013 was ranked number 14 on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. La Mar by Gastón Acurio opens this winter at the chic Mandarin Oriental Miami, where his vibrant ceviches and tapas will be set against the backdrop of Biscayne Bay. Why Miami?

La Mar in Miami is located on the water, and with [this city’s] huge Latin community it’s going to be like a cevicheria in Lima. We love to celebrate, and for us it is a party of freshness. We really hope that our La Mar restaurant will be part of this spirit of sharing our Peruvian food culture.

Does this particular menu put a Miami twist on your signature cuisine?

We are working very hard to introduce all the local fish we can. We have to support local fishermen and the sustainability of the ocean. The magical thing is that when we succeed, we have the freshest and most delicious ingredients and dishes. Local fishermen and farmers will be honored at La Mar. What is your favorite Miami restaurant/hot spot and why?

I like very much all the small Peruvian restaurants in Miami. Hundreds of them have opened in the last 10 years. Behind them, there are the Peruvian families working very hard to give happiness to people with our culture.

What is the most challenging dish you’ve ever made?

Every dish is the most challenging one, but I am still looking for the perfect fried eggs.

ut apparently there were limits to how cutting edge one could go. As Blue Door soared, Tony Goldman decided to do an upscale meatless menu at his Wish restaurant in The Hotel.

“He thought it would turn heads,” recollects Brustman. “The menu was great for the models, but it didn’t attract locals the way it needed to.”

More Miami’s speed was Nobu Matsuhisa bringing his beloved Tribeca hot spot to the Shore Club in 2001. The next year was paramount: Lee Brian Schrager, then director of special events and media relations at Southern Wine & Spirits, took the reins of a minor one-day food fest, rebranding it as the South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Even before The Food Network placed its clout and stars behind it, the SBWFF had stamped South Florida on America’s culinary consciousness like no event before or since.

In the early 2000s, there was lots of flash, and lots of big dinner parties, too, but Miami wasn’t necessarily a mecca for sophisticated American gastronomy. Early in 2003, La Broche, an avantgarde two-star Michelin restaurant in Madrid, debuted a Miami branch with renowned chef Angel Palacios at the molecular helm. It failed.

So did Afterglo, which proffered the sort of farmto-table fare that was enthralling diners across the country.

Local chefs were migrating off the Beach and scaling down with more personal restaurants of their own. The trend took root in 2000, when Pascal Oudin left Grand Bay Café to open Pascal’s on Ponce. By 2004, he had been joined by Tim

CHEF: FRANCIS MALLMANN RESTAURANT: FAENA his cookbook author (he wrote Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way, among others) and father has hosted his own television show for the last 30 years and is ready to set Miami’s dining scene on fire with his distinguished talent. Although trained in haute cuisine under three-star Michelin chefs in France, celebrated Argentine chef Francis Mallmann uses a more primal approach, focusing on wood fire and cast iron at his four existing South American restaurants. His “seven fires” grilling techniques will be used here in Miami as well, at the muchanticipated Faena Miami Beach when it opens this spring.

Describe the aesthetic and design influences of your restaurant. How do you want guests to feel during their dining experience?

The most important detail is that you have the beach in front of your eyes; you can feel the warm breeze married with the beautiful presence of our fires and cooking techniques. The fantasy is completed with the inherent elegance of using the best materials and design while respecting the historic heritage of the building.

What is your favorite Miami restaurant/hot spot and why?

I really like Casa Tua for what it means to the gourmet scene of Miami after many years of operation. Mandolin Aegean Bistro, the Greek restaurant in the Design District, serves impeccable, simple food, too.

Did you have any particular mentors or inspirations when first starting out? Are there any local chefs whom you admire?

My cooking is rooted in many of the teachings of the great chefs of France and Italy of the late ’70s and ’80s. They truly inspired me when I started developing my own particular style. In Miami, I believe Michelle Bernstein is the one to watch.

What is the most challenging dish you’ve ever made?

Every night I’m faced with the odd challenge when I cook at home of convincing my toddler that I really am a chef.

What other cities’ culinary scenes excite you?

New York, Sao Paolo, San Francisco, London, Paris, and Piemonte.

Any words of advice for aspiring chefs/restaurateurs?

Learn the basics before you go modern and out of bounds.

What are the ingredients used most often in your kitchen?

Olive oil and sea salt.

Describe the one meal you had that you will never forget.

A roasted fish beach picnic we made under the olive trees on the island of Rhodes in Greece.

Andriola (Timo), Jeffrey Brana (River Seafood & Oyster Bar), and Dewey LoSasso (North One 10).

This movement blossomed, somewhat by accident, in 2005. Michelle Bernstein had secured a big waterfront location just east of Biscayne. When problems ensued with the site, the partners scaled down and decided to open, as Bernstein now puts it, “a temporary restaurant in an existing space that was small, simple, and very approachable.” On a forgotten block of Biscayne Boulevard, the restaurant was Michy’s, and with “no publicist and no marketing,” it was quickly dubbed one of the best

hat would be Michael Schwartz, who was likewise lionized when the 2007 inception of Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink finally kickstarted the hitherto perennially “up-and-coming” Design District.

As Schwartz led the way in the Design District, his former partner Myles Chefetz did the same south of Fifth Street in 2004 with swank steakhouse/celeb magnet Prime 112, teeing up the neighborhood for Estiatorio Milos and La Gloutonnerie.

Big properties continued to draw big names: The Fontainebleau reopened in 2009 with Alfred Portale’s Gotham Steak, Scott Conant’s Scarpetta, and Alan Yau’s Hakkasan, and the W boasts Andrew Carmellini’s The Dutch Miami. Yet, if you had to name the biggest upsurge in the Miami food scene, it might be the little guys, the homegrown talent, many of whom ventured into sketchy neighborhoods that today are the belles of the ball. Kris Wessel entered MiMo with Red Light, followed by Daniel Serfer’s Blue Collar.

Jessica Goldman Srebnic and partner/father Tony Goldman pioneered the idea of Wynwood as a viable restaurant market via Joey’s. Buena Vista gained Buena Vista Bistro and Mandolin Aegean Bistro. And don’t forget the Pubbelly boys in Sunset Harbour.

So here we are. Rainer Becker (Zuma) and Daniel Boulud (db Bistro Moderne) have moved in, as have Jean-Georges Vongerichten ( J & G Grill), José Andrés (The Bazaar), and Tony Mantuano (Lorenzo). Also on deck: Francis Mallmann (Faena), Masaharu Morimoto (Shelborne), and Gastón Acurio (Mandarin Oriental). We no longer need to fly anywhere to eat. The world’s chefs are coming to us. OD

Tracey Emin’s I Followed You to the Sun, which made its Basel debut at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach on December 5.

Works by Ai Weiwei at PAMM,

ach Art Basel Miami Beach is touted as the biggest yet, and 2013 in which the artist dipped Han was no exception; we saw flocks of private jets, sand dunes of Dom Dynasty vases in corks, $3 billion of art, and at last count we’re up to 20 satellite industrial paint (Colored Vases, fairs. But instead of thinking quantity—or quality, even—I suggest 2007–2010, considering longevity. Of course, the art has been bubble-wrapped FRONT) and documented and shipped and the fair is technically over. But with Miami’s their destruction breakneck cultural growth, crowned with the opening of the new (Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn, Pérez Art Museum Miami, the week now threatens to last all year 1995/2009). long. Perhaps Basel is still going on?

Though the main fair didn’t open till Thursday, the crowds and party planners descended on our city the previous weekend, deciding that, from Sunday to Sunday, nobody would get any sleep. Parties kicked off on Monday with the Untitled preview gala, your one chance in history to see Marina Abramovic chatting up Val Kilmer. Then there was Tuesday’s masochistic rush-hour drive to North Miami to join the likes of Kevin Spacey at the MOCA + Vanity Fair/Vanity Fair International party. This year, for “Tracey Emin: Angel Without You,” which was almost entirely composed of the YBA’s neons, MOCA carpeted the main galleries and painted the walls black. After that, I honked my way to Wynwood for the opening of “28 Chinese” at the Rubell Family Collection/Contemporary Arts Foundation. This was a very auspicious year for artists from the Middle Kingdom. “Ai Weiwei: According to What?” opened at PAMM, and The Margulies Collection at the Warehouse featured a large installation by Song Dong. Add to this the fact that only six of the Rubells’ “28” have Western gallery representation, and you have a deep portrait of contemporary Chinese art, right here in Dade County.

It was business as usual at the Miami Beach Convention Center, and what a strange business this Marc Anthony closed the is, if usual means Jeff Koons’s Elephant (2003), stainPérez Art Museum Miami less steel polished to resemble a balloon animal, on premiere gala with a performance, December 7. sale for $20 million at David Zwirner.

The gallery also had pared-down minimalist works by Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, and John McCracken, and some playful paintings by Francis Alÿs, along with a psychedelic pumpkin

by Yayoi Kusama for $650,000.

Around the corner, one of LA’s most exciting galleries, Overduin and Kite, presented a crisp and purposeful booth featuring Nick Relph and Math Bass. Owner Lisa Overduin remarked on the calmness of the fair: “The [VIP] opening was not a crazy frenzy, but it was amazing.

was steady and had really good energy.” And it wouldn’t be ABMB without Fred Snitzer, who lorded over a booth packed with local art, including paintings by Hernan Bas and Enrique Martinez Celaya, both of which sold.

I ran into street-art daemon Shepard Fairey on Friday. Fresh off the plane, the artist felt that, sure, it was a good year—“busy, with more buying: [big-ticket items like] Warhols, Robert Indianas… Chuck Close”—but then conversation shifted to the far side of Biscayne Bay. “When I first put a mural up in 2004,” Fairey says, “Wynwood was a ghost town with a couple of tags and tumbleweeds. Now it’s like, every nook and cranny. It’s inevitable that it’s got to expand. It’s a great model for how art can take over a city.” Like Fairey’s murals from almost a decade ago, art now lingers after the fair’s end.

T

his takeover has taken time.

Anthony Spinello, whose gallery, Spinello Projects, was in the fair for the second time, is one of the exemplars of this coup d’état. “For the past 10 years, we’ve been building a foundation. People forget that this has been a grassroots effort,” Spinello says. “It’s not a race; it’s a marathon.”

How did he do? He nods to a graphite-coated orb by Sinisa Kucek. Gone to Jorge Pérez, $30,000.

As fantastic as this year’s Art Basel was, I propose a paraphrase of Yeats: “the convention center cannot hold.” The best was everywhere, but specifically at the Pérez Art Museum Miami.

This Herzog & de Meuron-designed wonder, with 80,000 of its 200,000 square feet of programmable space outside, was made for parties in December. No—parties in December were made for this museum. Thursday’s soirée, led by LA-based Los Jaichackers, was held at the same time as the private Maserati function, which, according to collector Jack Benmeleh, was upstaged only by the chic international attendees of the W magazine party the night before. And lest ye forget, this is an art museum; come for the canapés, stay for the Ai Weiweis. Ai’s exhibition “According to What?” comes down in March, but museum-owned installations like Hew Locke’s

armada of toy-size ships, For Those in Peril on the Sea, and Monika Sosnowska’s metallic stalactite Market will be around much longer.

Satellite fairs are upping their game as well. On Saturday, I caught up with Omar LopezChahoud, artistic director of Untitled. Now in its second year, the fair has already outpaced many of the others. “It’s a big step up,” he says. “The tent was reworked by architects K/R; it’s 70 percent larger. Galleries came from 19 countries, with a stronger Latin American connection. We have five Whitney Biennial artists.” That list includes Victoria Fu of Miami’s Emerson Dorsch.

Oh, and Untitled had the loot flowing as well.

At the Hionas Gallery booth, a minimalist painting of white circles on a white background by the 93-year-old Siri Berg was purchased by New York collector Beth Rudin DeWoody. Although gallerist Peter Hionas insisted that the price was “undisclosed,” he later let slip that the painting was probably the most expensive in the fair.

Miami elements at the art fair included the Michael Jon Gallery, whose booth dominated the entrance with a rack of sculptures by J. Patrick Walsh III and works by Sayre Gomez. By the end of the week, owner Michael Radziewicz had a near-empty booth, and a waiting list for Gomez’s work. “Miami is developing at an unprecedented pace,” he says, “and the global attention that the city is receiving provides a unique and coveted opportunity.”

But no matter how high spirits run, all good fairs must end. The week’s denouement came Saturday evening at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens’ annual party, as guests wondered if they could brave the traffic back to the Beach, the mood having been dampened by December rains and Miami-based performance artist Antonia Wright nearly getting herself killed by purposefully being thrown upward through two giant panes of glass in a critique of the glass ceiling. Publicity stunt or somber work of cultural commentary, that piece will be difficult to top next year. But if Basel holds to its growth, it surely will be. OD

WOMEN of wine

In the male-dominated wine industry, these five female sommeliers are breaking down barriers and redefining the wine world in South Florida, a top sales market with a local consumer who is becoming more educated by the second.

The Educator

A

s a wine scholar, Master Sommelier Virginia Philip loves the taste of wine, but she loves the history behind it just as much. She would have to, since as wine director of The Breakers in Palm Beach, she sometimes never even gets to see her bottles opened.

“We’re buying for today, but we’re [also] buying for future generations,” she says of the aged wines in the extensive Breakers wine program. “In 20 years, the chances of any of us being here are slim, so we’re buying for what we think is the best possible situation for potential buyers in 20 years—the next generation.”

Philip graduated magna cum laude in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in hotel and restaurant management from Johnson & Wales University, but her first experience in the wine business came working as a wine clerk in Aspen before eventually landing at The Breakers in 2000, where she oversees 14 wine lists (including a “massive Bordeaux and Burgundy and California Cab list”) in nine bars and restaurants on the property. And to Philip, each list reads like a history book.

“Generally when you’re talking about some of the top-end wines, whether

224

they’re super Tuscan or French, you invariably go back to what was happening during when the monks were involved,” says Philip, whose wine book recommendations start with Kevin Zraly’s Windows on the World Complete Wine Course and move to the Culinary Institute of America’s Exploring Wine, then Wine Lover’s Companion and the works of Jancis Robinson.

On a quest to educate the rest of South Florida on wine as well, Philip opened the Virginia Philip Wine Shop & Academy in 2011, and has since run double duty overseeing The Breakers and creating programming at her own shop. “For me it was really the ability to have winemakers and wine educators come teach classes to consumers,” says Philip, who in 2002 was named Best Sommelier of the United States by the American Sommelier Association.

The one piece of advice she gives all her students? Speak up. “When you have a winemaker in front of you, do not hesitate to ask them everything you possibly can,” she says. “Because they’re living in that area, they know the area inside and out, and they know what’s happening in that area.” 1 S.

he first thing that most people notice about Tahiirah Habibi Allen is her sense of style. Chef Michael Schwartz did. That’s why when he was dining at J&G Grill at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort where Allen was his sommelier, he decided he had to have her.

“He was impressed by persona and my style,” says Allen, who grew up in Philadelphia, moved to Miami in 2011, and started at Michael’s Genuine in December. “I put time into what I wear and how I do my hair and makeup. My appearance is important to me. It’s the first thing people see.”

Once a rapport is established, Allen will tickle the taste buds with some of the best pairings in town. She often fields questions along the lines of, “I really like red wine but I’m going to eat fish, is this okay?” Her answer is always, “Of course, drink what you like.” (But don’t go crazy and order “an oily fish like cod with a super tannic wine, because the tannins will make the fish taste metallic.”)

“To me, the sauce is more important than the actual meat on the plate. You may get a chicken dish that is going to go well with a Burgundy as opposed to a Chardonnay, and it really does depend on the sauce,” she explains.

Once she started as a sommelier working under Wine Director Eric Larkee at Michael’s Genuine, Allen was faced with the ultimate pairing challenge. “The menu changes literally every day, so you have to always be on your toes and be able to pair on the spot,” says Allen, who has certificates from the Wine School of Philadelphia and the Court of Master Sommeliers. “You’re challenging yourself consistently, the guests are challenging you, and you really have to know your stuff.”

On a Champagne kick, Allen loves pairing Pierre Peters Blanc de Blancs Champagne with black grouper ceviche at Michael’s. “It’s one of the best lunches I’ve had,” she says.

That pair goes right into the memory bank with the rest of her mental catalog that she uses on a nightly basis. “If I taste a sauce or a dish, all the wines that I’ve had before start registering and I start to think what will go well with it.” 130 NE 40th St., Miami, 305-573-5550; michaelsgenuine.com

The Rising Star

A new talent in town, Meat Market’s Orli Vadai is converting young South Beach into wine drinkers.

H

sommelier has a thirst for the grape as well. Vadai can sell you on Bond Estate Melbury, Hundred Acre, or the plethora of high-end Bordeaux on Meat Market’s wine list, but she can do her share of imbibing, too.

Ask her what wine she’s drinking these days and her answer, without missing a beat, is “Breakfast, lunch, or dinner?” It’s why she’s also the kind of sommelier you can ask for her hangover cure.

“There are these patches called No Hangover,” says Vadai. “I used them in Napa, and not once did I have a hangover. You wear them before you start drinking. I don’t know what it is, but it’s like magic.”

Armed with all the information about South Beach life to win over the party crowd and an expertise in wine to earn the respect of even regular wine connoisseurs, Vadai is reshaping the Beach drinker.

And as it turns out, you can do Patrón and wine in the same night. “Of course,” she says, “just make sure you have your patch.” 915 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, 305-532-0088; meatmarketmiami.com

aving lived her whole life in New York, Orli Vadai moved to Miami in August not knowing how she would fit in.

After all, she was a wine-loving sommelier about to start a job on South Beach, where Patrón shots often take precedence. But as it turned out, part of her success as sommelier at Meat Market on Lincoln Road has come from just being herself.

“I’m not the stuffy sommelier,” says Vadai, who fell in love with wine on a trip to Tuscany (and her husband on a trip to Miami). “Wine is meant to be enjoyed. People drink wine to enjoy their night, not to sit and dissect it. A good bottle of wine is an empty bottle of wine.”

And those young consumers who usually order vodka tonics but are looking for something different? “They’re usually my favorite customer because they’re open to trying new things,” says Vadai, who went to culinary school and worked at Daniel in New York.

It helps that, when molding the palates of Lincoln Road locals, the

The Trailblazer

Laura DePasquale continues to break down walls for female sommeliers while building a true romance with wine.

T

here is a ’96 Riesling from Alsace that Master Sommelier Laura DePasquale and her husband drank when they first started dating. She can recall that bottle and many others from important occasions in her life without missing a beat.

“I have these love affairs with certain regions,” says DePasquale, vice president and general manager of the Stacole Fine Wine Division of The Country Vintner, and who, with her husband, has 2,200 bottles in their personal wine cellar in their Miami Shores home. “Right now I’m having a complete and total love affair with really freaky white wines from the Jura. It’s a pretty obscure area in France, and I just love them because they’re white wines that act like reds.”

A trailblazer in every sense of the word, DePasquale is the first female GM at a major distributor in the US and the first woman elected to vice chair of the Court of Master Sommeliers. Not bad for someone whose career began at McDonald’s. She went from flipping fries to the graveyard shift at a New Jersey diner to a restaurant in New York City where during staff training she first fell in love with wine.

“We tasted Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay and Saintsbury Pinot Noir,” says DePasquale, whose Italian background had her sipping wine with dinner as a child. “I remember tasting those two wines going, Wait a minute, this is wine? Where did this come from? What’s the grape? Why did it taste so good?”

The newfound appreciation was the force driving DePasquale to greater success. After opening the Royalton hotel in New York City as the beverage director, she moved to Miami in 1992 and worked under chef Norman Van Aken at Mano and Norman’s. Her thirst for knowledge pushed her to become a master sommelier in 2004—the 13th woman to achieve that title.

“Wine tells a story,” says DePasquale, who has just one bottle left from the original case of ’96 Riesling. “More often than not, it’s a story of romance.” countryvintner.com

n Fort Lauderdale, the wine enthusiast community is a bit like family, which works out well for Kirsta Grauberger, managing partner of Market 17, because her business is all about family.

She and her brother Aaron opened Market 17 together in 2010 with encouragement and financial help from an uncle who passed away a few years back. “He was just the person who believed you should always follow your passion and dreams,” says Grauberger, who learned the business working at Sundy House in Delray Beach and as wine director and general manager at Johnny V in Fort Lauderdale. “He inspired us to go for it.”

Her passion is wine and her dreams are coming true at Market 17, where the clients often feel like family. With a large collector base in the area, Market 17 has become the stomping ground for groups like the Hollywood Wine Society—a collection of professionals with decades of wine collecting under their belt—who always include Grauberger in the fun. “It’s just really fascinating to see the wines they bring out,” she says. “I’ve never tried more firstgrowth Bordeaux in my entire life. They have them from these really amazing vintages: 1961, 1982.

Those are two of the top vintages of all time.”

Certified by the Court of Masters as a sommelier in 2007, Grauberger grew up in Breckenridge, Colorado, and her down-to-earth, customer-first attitude derives from her upbringing.

“It’s okay to speak up and say that you don’t like [the wine],” she says. “There used to be the old rule of that’s what you ordered [so] you have to drink it, but we don’t follow that. We want you to be happy, and we can get you another bottle.”

Her attention to customer service has won over a younger crowd of wine drinkers as well. She’ll recommend a fruit-forward wine for a first-timer, and follow the trends like ditching the Champagne flute for the tulip glass (everybody’s doing it).

“It’s easier to order a cocktail or beer. To me, there are a lot of elements in a glass of wine that can transport you to another place, but if you don’t drink wine, you just want it to taste good. So that would be my pitch: It can taste just as good.” 1850 SE 17th St., Fort Lauderdale, 954-835-5507; market17.net OD

TO ALL THE

WORLD-TRAVELING LEGEND JULIO IGLESIAS COMES “HOME” TO MIAMI THIS MONTH, WHERE HE PERFORMS HIS GREATEST HITS, REMINDING US WHY HE IS THE BIGGEST-SELLING LATIN ARTIST OF ALL TIME.

he numbers are astonishing: More than 300 million copies of his 80 albums sold worldwide. Over 60 million spectators in a 45-year career have heard his voice at more than 5,000 concerts in 600 cities around the world. And yet it’s his voice, not his statistics, that have fans from Russia to Qatar, Australia, Israel, China, and practically every continent (in just 2013 alone) swooning. To kick off the US leg of his 2014 tour on February 22, Julio Iglesias has chosen to bring his talents to South Beach with a one-night-only romantic concert. It’s your best chance to see him anywhere in Miami, as the self-professed homebody prefers his house on Indian Creek for dinner, and his wine cellar for a refresher. Here, he reminisces on his career, love, family, and of course, Miami.

You’ve sold over 300 million albums worldwide. To what do you attribute that success?

If I were to have a logical answer to that, then I would sell 600 million. Whatever happens to me is because I never lost the passion for anything, and if you don’t lose the passion, you can survive for generations.

What’s your favorite song to perform?

I never have a favorite. I was in Tel Aviv recently and was playing some big concerts. And someone asked me, “Julio, how do you play live so many times?” And I said, “You know, they just keep inviting me.” Why do they invite me? Because I have a communion of the passion with the countries, and if you don’t go to the countries with passion, you are forgotten. They forget you very fast.

PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF JULIO IGLESIAS’ OFFICE

“MIAMI IS AN AMAZING PLACE. I DISCOVERED MIAMI 43 YEARS AGO, AND IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.”

In 1970 you gave 41 concerts in 41 cities, in Spain, over the span of 30 days.

And I was making love every day. Imagine 41 concerts and 41 girlfriends. That was a great time. It was my rock and roll time.

Tell me about your life in Miami.

Whenever I am in Miami, I’m living in Indian Creek, on a private island. So I have probably my new generations of kids, I swim, I do exercises. I think how bored I am not to be singing the next day. I get bored when I don’t sing. But I take time with my kids; I travel with my kids, with my wife, with my family. I try to be really close to them. Miami is an amazing place. I discovered Miami in 1971. It was 43 years ago, and it was love at first sight.

You chose Miami as the first date in America for your tour. Describe performing for the Miami audience.

When you play in a place that you know so well and they know you, you have so many friends who come to see you—and they are very critical, so you always have a little bit of nerves. What is going to happen? It will be great, we’ll be playing the AmericanAirlines Arena, and I will play in the same place the Miami Heat play and make people dream. I want the people to go out of the concert thinking, I was right, 40 years ago I said this guy was going to make it!

You have eight kids! And Guillermo is 6 years old. What’s that like in your household?

I’ve been a very privileged person in my life. I

don’t take anything for granted. So to have another, even bigger privilege, which is to be a father at my age (70) with a kid of 6 years old is amazing.

Speaking of kids, your son Enrique has an album coming out in the spring. What advice did you give him coming up?

The guy is a champion; you cannot advise a champion. But he knows which is his good side— the left side—he knows the music he has to sing, he knows the video he has to do, he respects the people, he respects everybody in the audience, he’s a professional, as you know since he has been on your cover. He’s a very charming guy, and if you met him, you’d know that he has that kind of attitude and can convince you of it in five seconds. And I do it in two seconds, okay? In five seconds, my son can convince you of that. I will take only two seconds. [Laughs] What’s the most amazing concert that you’ve ever performed?

The first public concert I did in my life, my legs were trembling. I was thinking, What happened to my life? So I say the first one. And the next one after that would be the most recent concert I perform. If you ask me next year, I will tell you the last concert I performed. You know, an artist’s life stops the day the people stop.

Is there anything about you that people don’t know?

There’s a big secret: I sleep naked all of the time!

But naked means nothing physical; it’s naked in my heart, and in my brain. So for me to be naked

in front of an interviewer, in front of my audience, in a very spiritual naked situation, not physical, with my soul open, with my brain open, with my passion open, that’s what I do in my life.

But also when I swim physically in the pool, I swim naked, because no one is there, no one is paying attention to me!

What will you be doing in Miami before and after the concert? Is there a favorite restaurant you go to?

You know which is the best restaurant in Miami?

My house. I’ll tell you why. I’ve been buying wines since the 1970s. I bought the ’52s, the ’55s, the ’47s, after the second war, the ’61s, the ’82s, the ’90s, the ’95s. So I have an incredible collection of wines. That is a need for me when I’m eating.

What charities are you involved with?

I’ve been working for 20 years with the United Nations and Unicef. I’ve been a representative of the arts. I just try to open my conscience in a very discreet way. So I take care of the volunteers, and I do the best I can. But I can do much more, maybe, I’m not a saint. But my conscience is clean.

When you look back on your career…

Oh, I am happy. I’m grateful—happy doesn’t mean anything. Happy is something that passes and goes. No, I’m grateful. OD Julio Iglesias performs on Saturday, February 22, at 8 PM at AmericanAirlines Arena; aaarena.com/events/ detail/julio-iglesias.

Brick-andMortar Beauty IN GLITZY MIAMI, EVEN RETAIL HAS TO WOW. OCEAN DRIVE TAKES A LOOK AT THE ARCHITECTURAL PACKAGING OF OUR TOWN’S HIGH-END SHOPPING BOOM. BY SEAN MCCAUGHAN

I

t’s a Saturday afternoon at Bal Harbour Shops, and the mall is humming with activity. In fact, it’s the most lucrative mall in the world with an impressive $2,555 in sales per square foot. However, in a few years this citadel of luxury shopping, which recently announced an expansion plan to increase its size by about half, will soon be joined by a new crop of retail palaces and urban districts. More than just bland boxes for buying things, Miami’s retail Xanadus will express a sophisticated sense of architectural intent, and moreover contribute to South Florida’s urban growth. In other words, a store can’t just sell beautiful things; its exterior has to be beautiful and purposeful as well.

Miami’s emerging retail destinations reflect the city’s growing awareness of good design, and the new retail models are primarily urban in nature, as well—a step forward for Miami. Gone are the days of the mall as a vast refrigerated concrete box or even a “festival marketplace” creating its own kind of urbanism isolated from the city directly around it. Most distinctively, however, they show an impressive variety of forms, from the urbanity of the continued on page 238

GOLD COAST REPORT A streetview rendering of Brickell CityCentre’s multilevel elevated mall.

“One of the factors in the success of the Design District is our desire to advocate for important architecture.”

—CRAIG ROBINS continued from page 237 Design District and Lincoln Road to Brickell CityCentre’s towering, elevated network of sky bridges and high-tech “climate ribbons.”

The most-talked-about element of Miami’s luxe retail race is the Design District, which developer Craig Robins is practically rebuilding—or substantially overhauling, depending on your point of view—with serious consideration to the design of said retail. “One of the big factors contributing to the success of the Miami Design District is our desire to advocate for important art, architecture, and design in the neighborhood,” says Robins. The district’s new backbone will be a pedestrian road called Paseo Ponti, spanning four city blocks from 38th to 42nd Streets. Although Paseo Ponti itself is still very much under construction, some of the district’s new luxury retailers have already opened in temporary or permanent locations. A building by the architects Keenan Riley, now the temporary home of Hermès, is decorated with glass orbs covering the second story of its façade and has a rooftop garden, the first in a network of interconnected rooftop gardens that will dot the area in green. It’s just one of many emerging small retail buildings by internationally acclaimed architects that will proliferate in the neighborhood, including a two-level edifice by Sou Fujimoto, the latest winner of the annual Serpentine Pavilion commission in London.

238

Fujimoto’s building, a “structural waterfall” of glass fins, should be completed early this year, and a restored dome by the iconic modernist architect Buckminster Fuller, currently in Robins’s personal art collection, will be placed in front, serving as the entrance to the shopping district’s underground parking deck.

Ambitious urbanism is afoot in Brickell, too, by way of the Whitman family, owners of Bal Harbour Shops. Brickell CityCentre, the mixeduse megaproject currently under construction and designed by the prolific Miami-based Arquitectonica, will be anchored by a multilevel elevated mall for which the Whitmans have partnered with Swire Properties in developing. The mall connects the project’s five blocks with pedestrian bridges over Brickell’s surface roads and is the unifying element of the entire project.

A technologically advanced “climate ribbon” trellislike ceiling designed by Hugh Dutton Associés in Paris will shade and cool the outdoor mall, channeling wind off Biscayne Bay to a comfortable six- to nine-knot breeze. The whole

project will be anchored by an 80-story tower at CityCentre’s Brickell Avenue frontage, topped by an 80th-floor lounge.

The celebrated parking garage, 1111 Lincoln Road, by architects Herzog & de Meuron, which opened in 2010 and attracted tenants like Taschen, Nespresso, and Alchemist, may just be the beginning of the outdoor mall’s efflorescence. “Both civic and commercial, 1111 is a cultural destination and a central gathering place for Miami Beach residents and visitors,” says Robert Wennett, developer of the garage and the occupant of a rooftop apartment. Since then, H&M opened a flagship store in the historically preserved Lincoln Theatre. There, architect Allan Shulman restored the exterior to its original glory, reconstructing the aluminum marquee (the original was melted down for the war effort in WWII), and restoring elements of the interior that had been lost in the theater’s earlier conversion into a concert hall for the New World Symphony.

Not to be outdone by the rising design elsewhere is the U-shaped expansion of Bal Harbour Shops. Fifty years in the making, the expansion will add about 250,000 square feet of retail space, a high-end theater, and two new parking garages. Renderings show designs by Bernard Zyscovich covered in spectacularly lush foliage, including green walls and rooftop trees by landscape architect Raymond Jungles.

The explosion of green by a man who is probably Miami’s best—and certainly its most prolific—landscape architect shows an awareness that the architectural packaging of retail in South Florida and the way that packaging addresses the city are as important as what goes on inside.

East of Ordinary WITH FAMILY RECIPES AND A NEW OUTDOOR SPACE, MINA’S MEDITERRANEO TAKES DINERS OFF THE BEATEN MEDITERRANEAN PATH IN MIAMI’S UPPER EAST SIDE. BY MEGAN MCCRINK

T

en years ago, Yasmine Kotb was encouraged to open a Mediterranean restaurant in Miami—by none other than Emilio Estefan. Then a tour manager for Gloria and Emilio, Kotb had taken the Latin duo to her parents’ Mediterraneo Market & Café in Houston, Texas, when the idea was born. This winter, Emilio’s persuasion finally took hold, and Kotb opened Mina’s Mediterraneo in Miami’s Upper East Side, enlisting her mother’s help to assist Mina’s chefs in capturing the essential flavors of Kotb’s Egyptian background.

Kotb creates the comforts of a neighborhood bistro through both familystyle food and a community-driven atmosphere. House-made dishes lend an old-world flavor, such as pita with besara dip, lamb pita sliders, baked beef Bourguignon, and the baked kibby (likened to a Middle Eastern meatloaf, which is based on her grandmother’s recipe). “I grew up cooking

with my grandmother and spent the day cooking with the cousins and kids,” Kotb explains. “A big part of Egyptian food is producing the meal— food is part of the culture.”

Although recipes are traditional, the décor is not. Mina’s breaks away from the typical tapestry-laced, blue-and-white color-schemed Mediterranean restaurants you might expect. Instead, vintage travel prints hang on the walls beneath vast overhead windows and are reminiscent of the 1950s, when the building was constructed. Kotb wanted to eschew the tourist genre that many restaurants like hers fall into, opting for a location she feels is attractive to locals. “I see this as a corridor to be full of shops, a cool little pocket,” Kotb says. “Whether it’s artists or an owneroperated type of street, it has potential.” 749 NE 79th St., Miami, 786-391-0300; minasmiami.com OD

aha herself wasn’t there, but it seemed like everyone else was, clinking glasses of Champagne and admiring the view—oh, what a view.

The sales center for One Thousand Museum, world-renowned architect and part-time Miami Beach resident Zaha Hadid’s much anticipated luxury condo tower, complete with a helipad—and her first skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere, no less—was having its opening party mere yards away from the Biscayne Boulevard site in downtown Miami where it will actually break ground. The center was packed to the Jetson-esque ceiling with developers, real estate brokers and their clients, journalists, architects, tipsy cast members of the upcoming Million Dollar Listing Miami, and a who’s who of the city. Much like Southern California has the business of Hollywood, here in Miami we have the business of real estate. Instead of The Hunger Games, we have One Thousand Museum and all of the other big, new buildings. Instead of Jerry Bruckheimer, we have Jorge Pérez.

In the rest of the United States, real estate talk centers on zoning for good schools, crown molding, McMansions, and granite countertops. Here, the conversation is a little different. The fame and skill of the building’s architect, the art collection in the lobby, and the size of the single-pane, impact-resistant, floor-to-ceiling glass doors are the details often scrutinized. And, yes, the pet spas. Don’t even try to get a mortgage; it’s cash only these days, up front. Our city will soon have two real estate reality shows, Hot Listings Miami and Million Dollar Listing Miami, turning our favorite and

most entertaining brokers into celebrities. And we prefer our architects to be starchitects. Each building gets more unique than the next—these aren’t your white-picket-fenced townhomes of the suburbs, but rather the most luxurious offerings on the cutting edge of American real estate, from a glass-bottomed pool hanging off a penthouse like the one at the currently under-construction Mansions at Acqualina to the personal car elevators that whisk your auto 57 stories high in the sky at the Porsche Design Tower.

This is living.

Sure, there are still silly condo sales animations with ethereal soundtracks and supposedly perfect couples and seductive female voice-overs extolling the building as the sheer definition of success on Planet Earth. But there just may be something else going on here. The current leading themes of the great Miami “spectacle” are now real estate, art, architecture, and the convergence of all three. Maybe we’re evolving—almost graduating—from the stereotypical (beach, models, flamingos) and the carnal (debaucherous partying) to those three “loftier” ideals. Miami seems to have raised the bar for itself. Icon Bay and Paraiso Bay are both being built with public parks and sculpture gardens. The world’s top design talent is being brought in for buildings like Grove at Grand Bay, Jade Signature, and more to push the envelope of high living and represent Miami’s ascendancy as a whole. The evidence of our evolution is rising around us in concrete and glass, one floor at a time.

Until, of course, LIV opens condos and residences. OD
