From the Publisher

As someone who grew up in the restaurant business, I couldn’t help but become a foodie. Now, anytime my husband and I go out to dinner with friends, I’m the one tasked with selecting the location. I always want to know about the latest openings in our region and have been privileged to dine in many. But even in our plentiful and diverse food scene, many families suffer from hunger and malnutrition.

Every day, thousands of children go to bed hungry—and may not have breakfast in the morning. More than 60 percent of school-aged children participate in the free or reduced-rate lunch programs. We can help by supporting several charities in our region committed to ending hunger.

Palm Beach Illustrated is proud to sponsor Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation Palm Beach, taking place April 23 in the Kravis Center’s Cohen Pavilion. Chaired by chefs Lindsay Autry, Zach Bell, Clay Conley and Allen Susser, the evening will feature wine and food tastings from 35 Palm Beach restaurants, plus entertainment as well as live and silent auctions. This event is a great way to support the charity and its cause while enjoying some of the area’s best food.

Another organization known for its remarkable and innovative fundraising is the Palm Beach County Food Bank. For the second year in a row, design and construction professionals will create amazing structures out of canned food for an international competition called Canstruction. At the end of the show, which will be on display in June at The Gardens Mall, the goods will be donated to the food bank.

Food events for a good cause? That’s right up my alley—and I hope yours, too.

From the Editor

Since it infiltrated the popular culture about a dozen years ago, the term “foodie” has taken such abuse. In some lexicons, if you eat out often, you’re a foodie. In others, you can claim the moniker if you pore over food magazines and blogs or search for recipe inspiration on Pinterest. And if you’ve dined at Alinea or Gary Danko—well, you are at the top of the foodie chain.

According to our go-to dictionary, Merriam-Webster, a foodie is someone who enjoys and cares about food very much. In our corner of the foodie universe, the people who care about food most are the ones who are changing the local culinary landscape. We call them “The Gastronauts.”

A story in the making for almost a year, “The Gastronauts” concept came about from a recognition that the food scene here has finally reached critical mass. Gone are the days of the profligate “nouvelle cuisine” and the here-today-gone-tomorrow fads; what’s left is a solid core of great restaurants with ambitious but accessible food and an almost pathological devotion to fresh ingredients from our own soil and waters.

The men included in the feature understand the concept of good, honest food and are looking beyond trends to embrace what is in their own backyard. When the collective culinary culture can accomplish this, you have the beginnings of a movement. I personally feel we are on the verge of a new era—and an exciting time—in Palm Beach County’s restaurant history. Meet the visionaries who are feeding the local “foodie” culture on page 58.

In this issue, which is devoted to food and wine, we also explore the makings of a successful wine cellar. Our food and wine editor, Mark Spivak, has put together an expertly curated guide by region, as well as some tips on how to buy at auction, to simplify the collecting process. See his report, “In Pursuit of Fine Wine,” on page 78.

For more food content, turn to page 66 for “Garden State,” our photographic journey through the world of heirloom vegetables and heritage ingredients, and to our Taste section, starting on page 95, for a roundup of some of the most innovative dining and imbibing experiences, intriguing ingredients and latest foodie finds.

In print and online at palmbeachillustrated.com, there is plenty to feast your eyes on—and sink your teeth into.

3Q

Steve Wozniak

What was your relationship with Steve Jobs like?

You’ll never find anybody who saw us argue or had a fight. He was always very respectful to me and I to him. Sometimes there was a difference of opinion, but it wasn’t [a big fight] expressed between us. We both understood each other. He was reminiscent about the old days, right to the end—how much fun that had been. It really meant a lot to him.

What’s your best piece of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs?

Include engineers, who are the greatest problemsolving people in the world. Get them thinking about what your product is, because they often come up with clever ideas to get one little function to do two different things and do a lot more than you would’ve thought of.

What other kinds of technology would you like to see developed in your lifetime?

I would like to see computers become almost conscious, that they think out methods to tell themselves how to solve their own problems rather than rely on humans to program them. I would like them to have feelings and understanding of other humans and other computers. And I’d like to see them become more like humans, where you just walk up and have a conversation [with them]. I’d like to see them be real thinkers and help save us from a lot of our own thinking.

Thirty-eight years ago this month, young entrepreneurs Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded Apple Computer Inc. with a personal computer Wozniak had engineered. At the time, they were 25 and 21, respectively, and their invention would be the first of many groundbreaking consumer electronics to be introduced by what is now one of the world’s largest information technology companies.

On April 4, Wozniak will be in Palm Beach to participate in a Q&A at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium’s gala at The Breakers. We caught up with “the Woz” to discuss Apple’s early days, his tips for inventors and the future of technology. (561-3707738, sfsciencecenter.org) —Jennifer Pfaff

Laughs with LILY Having acted in movies, in TV series and on stage since the 1970s, Lily Tomlin has amassed a collection of characters, many of whom she created herself. Two of her most notable alter egos are from the 1973 sketch-comedy show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In: Ernestine, a condescending telephone operator, and Edith Ann, a 5-year-old who shares stories about her life from an oversized rocking chair. Tomlin is also known for her performances in Nashville, The Incredible Shrinking Woman, The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, Murphy Brown, The West Wing, I Heart Huckabees, and Damages, among others, winning Emmy, Tony and, for her comedy recordings, Grammy awards.

Tomlin will bring her multiple thespian personalities to the Kravis Center on April 2 and the Sunrise Theatre for the Performing Arts on April 4. Her funny charm will surely entertain as it always has, but she hopes to convey a deeper message in her one-woman variety show. “We’re all in the same soup together,” she says. “If it’s interesting, funny or crazy to me, it probably is to a bunch of other people. We’re not so different.” (561-832-7469, kravis.org; 772-461-4775, sunrisetheatre.com)

What will you talk about in your show?

All of my performances are usually based on a variety of characters. I talk about the human condition and what makes us all part of the same family. I use video, largely to make fun of myself and also to interact with characters. I’ll talk about West Palm Beach and some of the stuff that goes on in the world. … I try to make it as varied and interesting as possible—and funny.

Besides acting, what is another one of your passions?

I’ve been active advocating for elephants in captivity and to get them released and to 28

sanctuaries where they can roam and live more like elephants. I don’t know where we get the chutzpah to dominate everything.

&

What was Tomlin’s life like growing up? Find out at palm beachillustrated. com/lilytomlin

What else would you like to accomplish in your career?

[My brother and I] were talking about stuff we did as kids and all the mischief we got into, the pranks we pulled. I can see a movie about the way we were as adolescents. I could probably make three or four short films out of little incidents we got into.

They’re telling. They’re really hilarious but also [show] that sibling bond.

What was one of the pranks you pulled?

[My brother and I] had a friend named Evelyn when we were growing up in Detroit. One day we were going to the movies, but we stopped at the Greek market before we went. Evelyn had a big open tote bag, and we saw a bunch of smoked fish in a barrel, so we took a fish and dropped it in her purse. [laughs] … Of course, she found the fish, and we were laughing hysterically.

Then we went to a friend’s house, and we put the fish in the dryer with her laundry.

Can you imagine? You don’t need enemies when you have friends like that.

Car enthusiasts will be salivating at the annual Barrett-Jackson automotive auction at the South Florida Fairgrounds from April 11-13, featuring hundreds of vehicles in varying makes, models and years.

When it comes to silver and gold, most people tend to favor one over the other—there’s no in between.

Michael James definitely prefers silver.

The British collector is the founder and owner of The Silver Fund, a two-floor boutique at 330 Worth Avenue that specializes in twentieth-century silver objects acquired worldwide.

Among the shiny decor displayed over the store’s 2,500 square feet are furniture pieces, vases, serving trays, candelabras, wall sconces and bar essentials such as ice buckets and wine coolers—all engraved with recognizable names like Buccellati, Limoges, Hermès, Tiffany and Georg Jensen. The shop also offers expert appraisal and evaluation services.

There are two exceptions to the all-silver inventory: a case of Cartier clocks and timepieces, as well as an upper level dedicated to museum-worthy Murano glass. They may not be made of precious metal, but “everything we buy, we buy because we love it,” James says. (561-629-5153, thesilverfund.com)

Consider this roundup of some of the latest reports in international environmental news. ● England recently experienced devastating flooding caused by heavy rain, storms and coastal surges, and the impact is only going to get worse due to rising greenhouse gas emissions, The Guardian reports. ● California, meanwhile, is undergoing a drought so severe that state officials say 17 rural communities are in danger of running out of water by June, according to the San Jose Mercury News. ● The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that as the global mean surface temperature rises over the twentyfirst century, the Arctic sea ice cover will continue to shrink and thin, and the Northern Hemisphere spring snow cover will decrease, causing sea levels to continue rising. ● Certain plants and animals affected by climate changes and human impact on the environment also threaten medicinal remedies in countries like Nepal, according to the science news service Phys. org. “Traditional medicine provides health care for more than half the world’s population, with 80 percent of people in developing countries relying on these practices to maintain their livelihood,” one researcher told reporters.

For the nineteenth year, independent movies from all genres and countries will hit the big screen from Palm Beach Gardens to Boca Raton for the Palm Beach International Film Festival. The showings kick off April 3 with an opening night presentation and party at Cinemark Palace 20 and Bogart’s Bar and Grill in Boca Raton. The following week will be packed with screenings and events, including a weekend of short films at the Lake Worth Playhouse, seminars about the movie industry and the world premiere of the documentary Broadway: Beyond the Golden Age, which features interviews with stage legends from the 1960s and ’70s. The festival wraps up April 10 with the closing night feature Cas and Dylan, starring Richard Dreyfuss and directed by Jason Priestly. Ticket prices vary by event. (561-362-0003, pbifilmfest.org)

Classics Made Modern Who: Fashion designer Derek Lam Known For: Easy, feminine clothes that combine formal and informal elements and play with proportion On display: Lam's work has been exhibited at the Kennedy Center and London's Victoria and Albert Museum, among other venues. Stylish sipping: The designer partnered with Napa Valley’s Cliff Lede vineyards to create a limited-edition red wine named Poetry by Derek Lam.

By KAT SMITH How does your aesthetic influence your Resort and Spring 2014 lines?

I think it’s all about a subtle glamour. It’s about a woman who is very relaxed in her skin and wants to express fashion in a modern way— not traditional, yet she’s not out to be someone other than who she is.

Do you have a sense for which looks would be perfect for Palm Beach women, who are elegant in a relaxed way?

From what I’ve heard, it’s a really great collection for them because it’s about color and lightness and how to have texture in two seasons [spring and summer], compared with fall and winter. And it’s fresh.

What led you to choose these fabrics and colors?

Two things: North African colors and inspiration, but also tropical Africa done in a very modern way. Right now, Africa is a continent that’s very intriguing, and fashion has always been inspired by that.

How do you describe your personal style?

The way I dress is simple. I like that kind of all-American style. I find [the way] James Dean used to dress inspirational.

“

Fashion ultimately gives us pleasure. I think that’s what my job is about.

What should every woman have in her closet?

You can’t have enough beautiful white shirts.

You’ll see it in this collection, just taking a classic white shirt and making it very sensual and interesting. I love that idea that it can be unisex, masculine-feminine.

What fashion mistake do you see women make?

I see it less and less, but not altering clothing properly and not looking at proportion are probably the biggest things. If you are spending money on something you really love, [it is wise to] pay attention to the details and make it fit properly.

Is there a past era that influences your designs?

The late ’60s, before the Which item of whole development of the clothing can't counter culture, where it Lam live withwas kind of couture meets out? Find out at palmbeach sportswear. Balenciaga was illustrated. doing that, where he was com/dereklam taking very formal shapes, then seeing how the street adapts and wears it.

How did the Poetry by Derek Lam wine collaboration with Cliff Lede come about?

It was Cliff Lede reaching out. This is probably the preeminent small-scale winery in Napa, very well respected. He was just intrigued about bringing people from different walks of life to inspire. So I went in and did a blend of their very best wines. It was nice to see how it turned out and matured to the point where it was very satisfying.

How did you approach the packaging?

I wanted to create something timeless and modern. I see a lot of wine that’s overly decorated. I wanted something very straightforward and elegant, packaged so that you can keep it as something to appreciate years

Afloat in France delivers an intoxicating and inspirational journey through the waterways of France’s venerated Burgundy region

By Paul Rubio

Each year, the return of spring ushers in new life to France’s most venerated nexus of fertility, the country’s Burgundy region. Verdant grasses and vibrant sunflowers once again blanket the hillsides, heightening the beauty of the history-steeped châteaux, stone-hewn homes and medieval townscapes. As young Pinot Noirs emerge on the storied vines throughout this cradle of wine civilization, village life erupts in full bloom.

Clockwise from left: The Alouette cruising through Burgundy's vineyards; accommodations and the plunge pool aboard the Amaryllis; floating through bucolic scenery; pedaling alongside the barge; barge-top dining.

During this magic of spring, a handful of luxury barges takes to the picturesque waterways of central France, exposing sybarites to the back lot of prime wine country. Meandering through the postcard-perfect veins of the Burgundy region, the five péniche-hôtels of Belmond’s Afloat in France commingle the best of luxury cruising with complete immersion into rural France. Hosting between four and 12 guests for six-day, seven-night journeys, these petite ships navigate the rivers and narrow canals that once served as principal European trade routes and berth in the premier small towns of France’s wine circuit, including Dijon, Beaune, St. Léger sur Dheune and Vandenesse en Auxois.

The Afloat fleet—the Amaryllis, the Fleur de Lys, the Alouette, the Hirondelle and the Napoleon—consists of traditional Dutch barges outfitted with top-of-theline amenities. The Amaryllis, for example, flaunts four expansive cabins, en-suite marble bathrooms with oversized bathtubs, a lounger-lined plunge pool, a lavish dining room and Louis XVI-inspired furnishings.

Through the lazy days of spring, summer and fall, the Amaryllis et al float gracefully through Burgundy’s narrow inland waterways, giving ample time to bask in the bucolic scenery—feet up, wine in hand—through centuries-old lochs. Paths and trails frame most canals, 48 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

offering the opportunity to use house bicycles to pedal alongside the barge or even detour into a nearby town.

As expected, a trip through Burgundy mandates a heavy concentration on gastronomy and wine. This cruise embraces the essence of France’s “foodie” and oenophile roots with three gourmet meals daily, shopping trips to town markets for local ingredients, private tastings at some of the world’s most revered wine houses, on-board wine courses sampling Grand Crus and more.

One day, passengers visit the caves of Maison Joseph Drouhin in Beaune, Burgundy’s official wine capital, to learn about the regional terroirs and how sun exposure, soil, slope and Earth’s elements can create the perfect wine. (Like real estate, great wine is all about location, location, location.)

Another day, they’ll tour the Château de Chamirey, an esteemed family estate, where experts help demystify the wine-making process and offer generous pours of superlative white and red Burgundies. Whether guests

047-ESCAPE-0414.indd 49

come into this sojourn a neophyte or connoisseur, the master winemakers and sommeliers they meet cater to all levels of knowledge.

Be sure to pack a bit of expandable haute couture.

Morning, noon and night, epicurean delights foster endless temptation. For lunch and dinner, the ship’s personal chef presents indulgent, multicourse meals, each expertly matched with a different varietal. Expect the likes of roasted filet of Charolais beef with potato fondant, seared foie gras with cassis and shallots, and freshly shucked oysters with shallot vinegar. The calorie counting doesn’t end with dessert; following the last bite of fresh crème brûlée with shortbread or strawberry-lavender panna cotta is an ever-changing selection of three fine French cheeses.

In between unapologetically eating, drinking and relaxing on the barge, travelers participate in daily excursions. Beyond absorbing the local vibe through guided walks and personal ambles into rural towns, look forward to visiting magnificent sites such as the

fourteenth-century Château de Germolles, the former home of the Dukes of Burgundy, as well as the circa-1443 Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune, a museum and former charity hospital that remains one of the foremost examples of French fifteenth-century architecture.

Afloat in France trips conclude much how they begin: with a fabulous Champagne and wine reception and the best in French cuisine. Yet this peregrination through the back paths of France’s most exalted wine country surfaces as a time of learning, personal growth and quiet reflection. It reveals a place where the simple life is the good life; spiritually, voyagers are bound to end the Afloat journey in a higher place. And no, that’s not the wine talking. (afloatinfrance.com) «

Silent Knight Forty percent quieter than its predecessor, Bentley’s newest Flying Spur sets a lofty benchmark in automotive silence

When the car is idle, the Price: From $200,500 your local bank and ask if you can sit inside the absence of sound is spooky—so much so that Engine: 6-liter turbocharged safe for a few minutes with the door closed. drivers at a stoplight might wonder: Is the car W-12 Max POWER: 616 hp MAX TORQUE: 590 pound-feet The last-generation Flying Spur was a pretty still running?

Transmission: 8-speed automatic hushed machine. But this newest version is the The appeal of this latest Spur isn’t just all 0-60 mph: 4.3 seconds Top speed: automotive equivalent of a black hole. about the aural reduction but also its focus on 200 mph Length/width: 208.5/86.9 Bentley’s engineers were painstakingly refinement.

To do so, they developed lightweight acoustic comfort.

Now, the driver can chose among four different settings for the car’s air suspension, from magic carpet Comfort to reduced-roll Sport. In Sport mode, coupled with the car’s hydraulically assisted steering, the Spur will sweep majestically around curves as if running on invisible rails. And the outpouring of Hoover Dam-like power from the 616-horsepower nuclear reactor under the mile-long hood is breathtaking.

Foot to floor, this 5,445-pound leviathan can scythe to 60 in 4.3 seconds. Its all-wheel drive system ensures the 590 torques get channeled to the blacktop without a hint of wheelspin.

The new eight-speed ZF automatic transmission replaces the previous six-speeder and heightens the car’s performance. Shifts now take place in 200 milliseconds and are imperceptible.

Thankfully, this 208.5-inch limousine has phenomenal stoppers,

shedding speed with the immediacy of throwing out a ship’s anchor.

See the new Flying Spur in the metal and its beauty is overwhelming.

Whereas the previous model had all the visual appeal of a block of whale blubber, this one oozes style, elegance and curb appeal. The high waist and swooping roofline are gorgeous, but the wire mesh front grilles would look better in real wire instead of shiny plastic.

Inside, the cabin is the usual Bentley magnificence of artisan-crafted leatherwork and flawless woodwork. Life does not get better than luxuriating in the back seat with legs stretched and uncorking bubbly from the optional chiller behind the center armrest.

All this hedonistic luxury will set you back $200,500, or around $220,000 with delivery, gas-guzzler tax and a few choice extras, like $800 lambs-wool rugs.

As they say, silence is golden—and worth every penny. «

inspired restaurants, including Boca Raton’s Maxaluna and Max’s Grille.

But in 1999, they had a personal falling out that ended their partnership. Each pursued his own ventures: In Palm Beach County, Max introduced Max’s Harvest and Assaggio del Forno, while Rapoport created Deck 84, Henry’s and Bogart’s Bar and Grille.

They reunited 10 years later and celebrated in the most perfect way: by opening a restaurant. Burt and Max’s Bar and Grille, which opened in the Delray Marketplace in the fall of 2012, honors their farm-to-table concept and the journey they’ve taken together.

“We both realize we’re a lot closer to the end of our careers than the beginning,” Max says. “This time is really precious for us. … To have a 40-year odyssey with a partner and dear friend is pretty meaningful.”

THE BEST FRIENDS

Dennis Max and Burt Rapoport met fresh out of college in 1972. After taking time apart, working together again “is like putting on an old pair of blue jeans,” Rapoport says.

THE POWER DUO Together and separately, Dennis Max and Burt Rapoport have opened some of South Florida’s most popular restaurants over the course of four decades.

Just how many, exactly?

“I lost track. I think it’s over 30,” Rapoport says. “Not all of them were successful.”

“Thirty-nine?” Max guesses. “Dozens.”

The two met in San Francisco in 1972 while in management training for the Victoria Station steak house chain and moved to South Florida in the late 1970s when they were offered partnerships at Carlos and Pepe’s in Fort Lauderdale.

At the time, South Florida was a “culinary wasteland,” Rapoport says. So the two gave the dining scene just what it was missing: creativity.

In 1979, they opened Raffles Bar and Grill, an establishment in the Dadeland Mall inspired

by Southern Californian culture, design and cuisine. It was the pioneer of South Florida’s farm-to-table movement, and diners literally ate it up—Max and Rapoport opened 10 more Raffles locations in Florida and one in Atlanta.

“Things really took off from there,” Rapoport says. “We were lucky and took advantage of it. From that point forward, we were restaurant owners.”

They swiftly reconstructed South Florida’s dining landscape with a coterie of SoCal-

Reid Boren and Thierry Beaud struck up a friendship in the mid-1990s when Beaud was the general manager at Au Bar, a former nightclub in Palm Beach. Beaud eventually moved to Café L’Europe, the Flagler Steakhouse and later Seasons 52—and Boren followed, always bringing a crowd of friends. “I would go wherever he was planted,” Boren says.

Eventually, Boren helped Beaud plant his own roots as a partner in Pistache French Bistro, which they opened at the east end of Clematis Street in June 2008.

Beaud had grown up eating at bistros in France and missed that dining experience in South Florida, where few French restaurants exist.

Opening Pistache “was 80 percent passion and 20 percent market analysis,” he says. “It was really something the area needed.”

The bistro is at once sophisticated and casual, mimicking the feel of a big city with outdoor seating and a well-stocked bar. “It’s the only place I know of where you can have well-heeled Palm Beachers sitting in a tie and jacket in the dining room and guys in flipflops at the bar, and neither feels uncomfortable,” Boren says.

In December 2011, following the success of Pistache, Beaud and Boren introduced PB Catch, a Palm Beach restaurant serving contemporary seafood made with locally caught

Although he had never invested in a restaurant before, Reid Boren was “highly confident” in friend Thierry Beaud’s plans for Pistache French Bistro. David Sabin heads up the Palm Beach Food & Wine Festival.

fish. The establishment gained national attention last month when its stunning LED aquarium was featured on an episode of Nat Geo Wild’s Fish Tank Kings.

“I’m still one of the best clients,” Boren says. “I’m always proud of eating there.”

Recently, the duo invested in and turned around Palm Beach’s Champs Élysées bakery, rebranding it as Patrick Lézé Palm Beach after its founder. This spring, they will open a second European pastry shop and café at 205 Clematis Street.

After 23 years, the friends say they still have fun together, even in business.

“It sounds like an old marriage,” Boren says.

“It is an old marriage,” Beaud laughs.

“Chefs look at it as an exciting time to get together and take over the island,” Sabin says.

“A lot of them [say] they were captivated and we as a festival exceeded their expectations.”

Sabin’s favorite part? “When it’s over,” he jokes.

“There’s a point when you just know it’s going to happen and it’s going to be amazing.”

THE PIONEER

THE RINGLEADER To David Sabin, dining is a social activity.

“I’m a foodie in the sense that I love eating at great restaurants, and I love the camaraderie within the culinary world,” he says.

So it only makes sense he would create one of the most notable social dining experiences in not only Palm Beach but also the nation.

Sabin launched the Palm Beach Food and Wine Festival in December 2006 with public relations maven Shamin Abas. The inaugural event, held at 150 Worth, featured bites by local chefs

058_Gastronauts_0414.indd 61

and was only three hours long—and a bit unorganized and understaffed, Sabin recalls. They ran out of plates and napkins. Sabin lugged trash.

Fast-forward to today, and Sabin is at the helm of his own public relations firm as well as the festival, which has grown by leaps and bounds.

The 2013 festival offered a range of unique dining experiences over five days, including a Southern dinner at Swank Farms, kids’ cooking classes with celebrity chefs at the Four Seasons and dinner with Chef Daniel Boulud at his Palm Beach café. Now, in addition to local talent, the event draws top culinary names like Todd English, Robert Irvine and Ted Allen.

The first establishment Todd Herbst ever owned was a mobile hot dog stand.

At age 26, he drove a golf cart up and down the beach on Marco Island, selling food and beverages from a business he called Todd’s at Tigertail.

Today, he steers a much bigger—and more sophisticated—business as one of the founders of the Big Time Restaurant Group, a collection of establishments inspired by cities like Chicago and Boston. The group is the force behind some of the area’s most recognizable names, including Rocco’s Tacos, Grease Burger Bar, City Oyster and Sushi Bar, and City Cellar Wine Bar and Grill, a CityPlace staple that opened 14 years ago.

It began in 1993, when Herbst and friend Bill Watson opened John Bull English Pub in West Palm Beach. Two years later, the successful eatery caught the attention of developer David Frisbie, who approached Herbst and Watson about opening an establishment on Clematis Street. When Big City Tavern opened, project offers from developers around the state started pouring in—all while Herbst was in his 20s. palmbeachillustrated.com | April 2014

Todd Herbst and Nick Coniglio, whose family is prominent in the Palm Beach restaurant scene, have introduced some of the area’s best-known institutions. Chef Mike Moir, hailing from Canada, thrives on creating low-key eateries with local seafood and produce.

“It was kind of surreal in a way, but after a while it became a calling,” he says. “I recognized early on this is what I wanted to do with my life.”

He’s also experienced his fair share of culinary failures—or “very expensive lessons,” as he calls them—but they taught him the secret to restaurant longevity: attention to detail on every level, including food, interior design and staff training.

In fact, even Todd’s at Tigertail is still in business. “My legacy,” he laughs.

THE TRANSPLANT It seems ironic a Canadian chef would know how to use Florida ingredients in creative ways to draw a crowd. But that’s exactly what Mike Moir does best.

The youngest of eight kids, “Little Moir” left Canada for Jupiter in 1991 at age 21 when former boss Ross Matheson asked for his help opening a restaurant for just a couple months.

But a couple months turned into a decade— mostly because he met and later married a woman named Vivian, Moir says.

He served as head chef at Captain Charlie’s Reef Grill until 2000, when he decided to open his own restaurant. With a tight budget and no real plan, he built dining tables in his backyard, winged the menu and threw open the doors of Food Shack on January 24, 2002.

The small, laid-back eatery has become a local staple, known for a flavorful menu that

changes daily and a devoted clientele.

“It’s a collaboration of traditional cooking with my rendition of local ingredients, like mangos, starfruit and bananas,” Moir says. “I just like to say I use good, fresh food.”

Although Food Shack was a hit, Moir knew there was nowhere for his staff to grow. So, “I did everything backwards, as I always do,” he says. “Instead of expanding, I opened another restaurant.”

On April 17, 2007, Moir introduced Leftovers, a trendier establishment in Abacoa. Today, the Little Moir’s name is also tied to the Garage VV, a hip Northwood establishment run by Vivian. Food Shack has expanded to include Maxi’s Lineup—named for their son, Maximus—a connected room that offers a seasonal menu.

Moir views his success as a team growth with his chefs, whom he likes to remind that ownership is within their reach.

“I like to think I inspired a few people in my circle by showing them the possibility that it can be done,” he says.

THE LOCAL Nick Coniglio was a 25-year-old snowboard instructor in Aspen when he received a long-distance request.

Please return to Palm Beach, his father

asked, and open a restaurant?

Coniglio had grown up watching his father, Frank, own and operate E.R. Bradley’s Saloon, a local staple for burgers and beer. He thought he’d follow in those footsteps, but after earning a bachelor’s degree in hospitality, he had a change of heart and headed for the mountains.

But when his father asked him to take the lead at Cucina dell’Arte, an Italian restaurant he planned to open on Royal Poinciana Way, Coniglio decided to give it a shot. He hired a young chef named Kent Thurston and soon discovered the fun—and financial gain—of creating a restaurant that offered a thriving nightlife for Palm Beach’s younger crowd.

The success inspired him to open Nick and Johnnie’s Seafood Bar and Restaurant down the street from Cucina. Things came full circle when he took over E.R. Bradley’s, and Coniglio now carries on the family tradition of creating popular casual restaurants.

“Sometimes, that’s what people are looking for when they’re here. Not everybody wants to dress up all the time,” he says.

Coniglio’s latest venture is Bee Organics, a combination organic grocer, smoothie joint and yoga studio behind E.R. Bradley’s.

“I’m going to take shots. You just never know if you’ll hit the home run or not,” he says.

THE FRESH TALENT It took only one order of Chef Clay Conley’s cuisine to impress Piper Quinn.

“The first time I had Clay’s food, I thought it was the best,” Quinn says. “It was fun and approachable, delicious and elegant; but he didn’t take it too seriously.”

At the time, Quinn was a frequent patron at the Mandarin Oriental Miami’s Azul restaurant, where Conley, a Todd English protégé, was the executive chef. Over time, their bar talk led to a friendship and then a business partnership, as Quinn and Sam Slattery, one of Conley’s former colleagues, agreed to support Conley in opening a restaurant.

After a two-year search in Miami proved futile, Quinn found a vacant space in Palm Beach that offered promise. Taking a risk, they decided to introduce a more casual restaurant in a largely fine-dining town and, in 2011, opened Buccan, which offers small, sharable plates.

“It’s just the way I like to eat,” Conley says.

“I order an entrée and five bites into it, it’s the same flavor over and over. I’d rather try a bunch of small stuff.”

When the space next door became vacant a year later, the trio snagged it and in 2012 introduced Imoto, a Japanese small-plate restaurant inspired by Conley’s seven-month stint in Tokyo. In those three years, Conley has been nominated twice for a James Beard Award while Buccan and Imoto have brought an energetic vibe and added sense of youth to Palm

058_Gastronauts_0414.indd 65

Beach’s dining scene.

“I knew the market from living here for a long time, and I believe in Clay’s food, so I thought we had a winning formula,” Quinn says. “Thankfully, we were right.”

THE REBEL It’s easy to identify a Rodney Mayo restaurant.

It’s typically on a busy street. The space is likely an older building with character, and guests feel as though they’re anywhere but Palm Beach County.

“The biggest insult is, ‘It looks like a Florida restaurant,’” Mayo says.

Originally from New York City, Mayo came to South Florida in the late 1970s. Since then, he has embedded the cookie-cutter landscape with unique nightclubs, lounges and restaurants.

Dada in Delray Beach serves creative homestyle fare in a renovated 1924 house. Atlantic Avenue’s Tryst and Clematis Street’s Hullabaloo were among the area’s first gastropubs.

LongBoards gives off a California vibe with surfboards and seafood, while the Dubliner Irish Pub and Kapow! Noodle Bar offer inspired ethnic fare in Mizner Park.

Those are just the newest of Mayo’s repetoire. His first venture was Respectable Street, an indie rock nightclub on Clematis Street that has been in business for 27 years.

Nearby, he’s also responsible for Lost Weekend, O’Shea’s Pub (which he later sold) and the renovation of Howley’s Restaurant.

Each venue dictates the culinary concept, Mayo says. “I’m about simple, clean food,” he says. “I’ve always hated the nouveau cuisine trend of overdressed plates and small portions.”

His latest project is Subculture Coffee, a coffee shop that opened on Clematis Street in March and offers in-house roasting—one more way to break the mold of chains.

“Though we have all these locations, we offer something different and unique,” he says. «

Piper Quinn turned his passion for food and wine into a business.

He backs Clay Conley, an award-winning chef whose reputation and talent have elevated the dining scene.

No, Food Shack doesn’t take reservations, and yes, you’ll probably have to wait. It’s noisy, and the decor resembles a ramshackle beach bar. Yet ever since Mike Moir left the Reef Grill and opened this place in 2002, it’s been packed from opening to closing. Part of the secret is absolutely fresh seafood prepared in clever ways (Moir likes to say this is a farm-to-table restaurant, and his farm is the ocean). The other part is a laid-back island vibe that will make you forget the stresses of daily life. Moir’s kitchen is a culinary think tank, and on some evenings the list of daily specials is longer than the menu itself. There are more beers than wines on the list, and that only adds to the fun.

Sushi Simon Boynton Beach

It’s one of the mysteries of the universe: In a place with as much quality seafood as South Florida, why isn’t there better (or at least more authentic) sushi? Sushi Simon is the antidote for the ho-hum sushi bar and the all-you-can-eat buffet; one visit will demonstrate why diners come to this narrow storefront from all over Palm Beach County and beyond. While you can find the same selection of “designer” rolls elsewhere, Sushi Simon stocks a treasure trove of delights for the connoisseur: scallops from Hokkaido, blue fin toro, uni, Japanese kampachi and snapper, and ama ebi (sweet shrimp grilled with the heads on). Accompany it with premium sake, an inventive cocktail or a wine from the short list. (561-731-1819) palmbeachillustrated.com | APRIL 2014

While many competitors are still languishing in the nineteenth century, the southernmost outpost of the Buckhead Life Restaurant Group has brought the steak house concept into the twenty-first with an impressive selection of fresh and carefully sourced seafood such as Maine scallops, Florida black grouper, pristine ahi tuna, whole Dover Sole and oysters from both coasts. Of course, should you want a steak, you won’t be disappointed: You’ll receive a hefty cut of USDA Prime, aged 48 days and cooked to perfection, including all the classics—filet, New York Strip, bone-in rib eye and the “Porterhouse Experience” for one, two or three. Add elegant, clubby surroundings and a noteworthy wine list, and you’ll understand why Chops has become the success story of Boca’s “new downtown.” (561395-2675, buckheadrestaurants.com)

In many ways, 50 Ocean incorporates the best aspects of dining out in Florida: elegant surroundings, creative food and a spectacular view of the sand and surf. Have a drink at the backlit quartz bar, gaze at the pictures of Hemingway and snag a table on the outdoor observation deck. Chef Blake Malatesta’s menu is full of surprises: crispy whole belly clams, briny and artfully fried, that will transport you to New England; roasted chicken soup with egg noodles and root vegetables; Koreanstyle short ribs; Belly and Biscuits (pork belly with buttermilk biscuits and white chocolate-pepper gravy); and a strong selection of “dock-to-door” seafood. During the Sunday brunch, don’t miss the build-your-own Grey Goose Bloody Mary bar, featuring more than 30 different garnishes to customize your eyeopener. (561-278-3364, 50ocean.com) 74

Just how innovative is PB Catch? For one thing, it has the finest raw bar in the area—a vast expanse of crushed ice containing a dazzling selection of bivalves from all the best venues throughout the United States and British Columbia. For another, the restaurant has developed and trademarked something called Seacuterie, a proprietary method of curing and smoking seafood similar to charcuterie; selections include salmon pastrami, Szechuan cured kampachi, and lemon and oregano cured swordfish. Burgers and steaks are also available for non-fish fans. PB Catch was the brainchild of Thierry Beaud and Reid Boren, proprietors of Pistache in West Palm, and Chef de Cuisine Aaron Black has seamlessly taken over from Julien Gremaud.

In their West Palm Beach establishment, Marcello and Diane Fiorentino have created a shrine to classic Italian cooking: The ingredients are pristine, the flavors are simple and direct, and the elegant atmosphere is highlighted by impeccable, friendly and relaxed service. Marcello’s family hails from the island of Capri, and his fish is cooked to perfection, but so are other favorites such as penne in a reduction of porcini mushrooms, veal Zingara (in a sauce of artichoke hearts, tomatoes, shiitakes and prosciutto di Parma) and his moist, juicy rendition of suckling pig. The more than 900 selections on the world-class wine list encompass the best of Italy and California, including hard-to-find bottles and vertical selections of prestigious estates. Every plate that emerges from the kitchen passes through Marcello’s hands, ensuring a level of quality rarely found elsewhere. (561-585-3128, lasirenaonline.com)

Chef Clay Conley’s menu changes frequently, but a core of dishes remain, including sashimi of hamachi and squid ink orecchiette with sausage, conch, basil and chilies. Most of the options here are small plates, encouraging grazing and sharing, and the menu categories are simple and clear (Raw, Green, Crispy, Wood-Fired, etc.). The wine list offers a bevy of carefully selected bottles, and there is a creative list of sake and original cocktails as well. Buccan allows the diner to craft an experience that suits him or her as an individual and was one of the first restaurants in Palm Beach to do so.

Palm Beach When The Breakers announced it was closing its flagship restaurant, L’Escalier, and converting the space into a cocktail lounge, globe-trotting gourmets were astonished. But after a dramatic renovation by acclaimed designer Adam Tihany, it was clear this wasn’t Grandpa’s cocktail lounge. The room is open and inviting, and the menu is an endless assortment of temptations—more than five dozen carefully crafted small plates, faithful to the cuisines they represent. The room is dedicated to reviving the classic era of the Palm Beach cocktail culture, but don’t overlook the delights of one of America’s finest wine lists, compiled by Master Sommelier Virginia Philip.

For starters, consider the setting: You may dine in the sleek, classy dining room or on the outdoor terrace of the Brazilian Court Hotel and Beach Club, surrounded by fountains and lush vegetation.

All the Daniel Boulud classics remain (torchon of foie gras, chilled peekytoe crab salad, duo of beef tenderloin and short ribs) along with amazing dishes such as fork-tender octopus à la plancha and a grilled loup de mer that seems lighter than air. The lengthy wine list is overseen by sommelier Mariya Kovacheva, and the service is warm and precise. Don’t miss the $25 prix fixe lunch menu, easily the best value in Palm Beach.

O

ne of the most luxurious ways to spoil yourself is to have a fully stocked wine cellar. You can indulge in exactly the wine you want at the moment you want it, without being dependent on the inventory of your local retailer.

In exchange for this glorious freedom, of course, you must ensure your cellar meets certain conditions. Proper storage is crucial: 55- to 60-degree constant temperature, 60 percent humidity and the absence of light and vibration. You need patience and willpower, because some wines won’t be ready for a decade or more. On top of that, you’ll have to do some research (or engage a trustworthy adviser). But it is worth the effort.

To get started, consider our guide to both traditional and hot categories for wine collectors.

Bordeaux For centuries, Bordeaux has been the ultimate blue-chip collectible. Emphasis is on the 61 properties included in the Classification of 1855, particularly the First Growths (Châteaux Lafite-Rothschild, Latour, Haut-Brion, Margaux and MoutonRothschild). In recent years, however, intense demand from Asia has pushed First Growth prices to around $1,000 per bottle, and many Classified châteaux aren’t far behind.

“The biggest difference between now and 20 years ago is that First and Second Growth Bordeaux is out of reach for most consumers,” says Virginia Philip, master sommelier for The Breakers and propri-

etor of the Virginia Philip Wine Shop and Academy in West Palm Beach. “Speculation has pushed prices for those wines through the roof.”

However, there are still strategies to amass Bordeaux without refinancing the house, she assures.

“I think that the lower-level Classified Growths are great places to look—wines such as Kirwan, d’Issan or Prieuré-Lichine,” she says. “If you end up paying $50-$75, how can you compete with that quality level in California?”

Many famous properties now have second labels—declassified wine from younger vines, or grapes that didn’t make it into the final blend. Good examples are La Croix du Beaucaillou (Château DucruBeaucaillou), Segla (Château RauzanSegla), Rèserve de la Comtesse (Château Pichon Lalande) and Pagodes de Cos (Château Cos d’Estournel).

The Cru Bourgeois comprise another

group of high-quality, reasonably priced Bordeaux wines. These are roughly 300 estates from the Médoc, many of which produce wine of the same quality level as the Classified growths. Good bets are the Châteaux de Pez, Sociondo-Mallet, Potensac, Poujeaux, Chasse-Spleen and Phélan-Ségur.

One strategy for bringing down costs is to invest in Bordeaux futures. With the futures market, buyers get a discount on the wine in exchange for paying upfront; the wine is delivered on release, roughly two years after purchase. More research is required when buying this way. Be sure to choose a retailer that will likely be in business several years hence.

Despite recent controversies about impartiality, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate is still the yardstick by which Bordeaux quality is measured; another excellent resource is the International Wine Cellar, published

by Stephen Tanzer.

Best recent Bordeaux vintages: 1982, 1989, 1990, 1998 (Pomerol and St. Émilion only), 2000, 2005, 2009, 2010.

078-WINES-0414.indd 81

Burgundy This is one area where the neophyte wine collector would be wise to consult an expert. Every inch of vineyard land in the Burgundy region is classified according to Grand Cru, Premier Cru or Villages, and most vineyards have multiple owners. The best estates are tiny properties with very small productions, usually spread out over different vineyard parcels, so selecting candidates for cellaring can be tricky.

In general, look for the top small domaines rather than large négociants (entities that sell and ship wines as a wholesaler) such as Bouchard or Louis Latour. While each major négociant produces a few outstanding wines, the best small growers have a hands-on intensity of approach that makes almost everything they do worth seeking out. Look for the following domaines: Leroy, Coche-Dury and Comtes Lafon (Meursault); Bonneau du Martray (CortonCharlemagne); Hubert de Montille and Marquis d’Angerville (Volnay); Henri Gouges (Nuits-Saint-Georges); Anne Gros (Vosne-

Romanée); and Armand Rousseau and Robert Chevillon (Gevrey-Chambertin).

“Like Bordeaux, many of Burgundy’s top estates are now too expensive for most consumers,” Philip says, “but there are still some bargains in Premier Cru Burgundy, if you know where to look.”

At Philip’s retail store and wine academy, she counsels beginning collectors on how to achieve a balance between wine they need to put away for a decade or more and bottles they can drink in the short term. “It’s a process of getting to know the customer and finding out what they have on hand versus what they need for the future,” she says.

One of the best sources of information on the region is Burghound, a newsletter published by expert Allen Meadows. It comes out quarterly, and an electronic subscription is $145 (roughly the price of a single bottle of Grand Cru). Steven Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar provides in-depth coverage once a year as well.

Best recent vintages for reds: 1999, 2002, 2003 (selectively), 2005, 2009.

Best recent vintages for whites: 2005, 2007, 2010.

Rhône Valley Although they’ve escalated in price in recent years, the top Rhône reds are still relative bargains. Most collectible are the wines from Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie (primarily Syrah), and top Châteauneuf-du-Pape (Gre­ nache-based blends). The best examples can last 15-20 years or longer.

Hermitage is made from 100 percent Syrah, and the top wines are both stunning and capable of long-term aging. Worth seeking out are the wines of Jean-Louis Chave, Chapoutier, Jaboulet (Hermitage La Chapelle) and Marc Sorrel. White Hermitage, made from Roussanne and Marsanne,

078-WINES-0414.indd 83

Château de Beaucastel Vines Below: Harvest at Guigal in the Rhône

is also capable of improving for more than a decade in the cellar. Côte-Rôtie wines, while mostly Syrah, can contain up to 20 percent Viognier, a white grape. Most famous are the single-vineyard wines from Guigal (La Landonne, La Mouline and La Turque), but other producers to consider include Michel Ogier and René Rostaing.

Many wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape are on the market, and potential collectors must choose with care. The most famous and sought-after estates are Château de Beaucastel, Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Château Rayas and Domaine de Pegau.

Other first-rate properties include Henri Bonneau, Domaine de la Janasse, Le Vieux Donjon, Clos du Mont-Olivet, Domaine de la Mordorée, Clos des Papes, Domaine Raymond Usseglio and Château La Nerthe.

Best recent vintages: Northern Rhône—1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2009. Southern Rhône—1998, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2010.

Italy Since the mid-1980s Italy has undergone a revolution in winemaking technology, and the current level of quality and attention to detail is very high. While this may mean buying bottles more than 20 years old may not be a good bet, purchasing the current vintages from your favorite estates is an excellent strategy—even if you have to wait

to drink them. As in other regions, dependable producers are likely to make good wine regardless of the weather conditions or the reputation of the vintage.

Many consumers consider Gambero Rosso to be the bible of Italian wine and also find the magazine’s restaurant and travel recommendations to be useful. A new publication called the Slow Wine Guide, published by Slow Food International, places emphasis on organic and sustainable producers.

Here are some properties to look for: Barolo: Vietti; Bruno Giacosa; Chiara Boschis; Giacomo Conterno; Giuseppe Mascarello; Renato Ratti; Giacomo Bourgogno; Luciano Sandrone; Paolo Scavino; Michele Chiarlo; Pio Cesare.

Barbaresco: Gaja; La Spinetta; Marchesi di Gresy; Ceretto; Contratto; Fontanafredda; Prunotto; Bruno Rocca; Bruno Dante Rivetti.

Brunello di Montalcino: Biondi-Santi; Il Poggione; Poggio Antico; Uccelliera; Altesino; Argiano; Lisini; Nardi; Caparzo;

Perhaps more than with any other region, there’s a wide gap between true collectibles and pretenders in the Golden State. At the top end of the scale, a handful of “cult” Cabernets have a track record of appreciating in value: Screaming Eagle Winery, Harlan Estate, Bryant Family Vineyard, Grace Family Vineyards, Colgin Cellars and Marcassin Vineyards. Most of these wines are sold first to customers through the winery’s private mailing list, and escalate sharply on the after-market. Contact each winery for information about getting your name on the list and be prepared to wait.

(Vintner Ann Colgin shared a story of how a spot on her mailing list became a bitterly contested asset in a divorce proceeding.)

When shopping for California collectibles, remember the recent recession narrowed the number of properties at the top.

The cult labels are still highly desired, but many of the second-tier wines have seen years of steep discounting. These include Opus One Winery, Joseph Phelps Insignia and Caymus Vineyards Special Selection, among many others. While the quality of these wines may still be high, in many cases their value has eroded.

Whenever possible, look for California properties with a track record and be cautious of any estate less than 10 years old.

In the case of newer wineries, pay attention to their vineyard sources. Startups that

Buying at Auction have purchased parcels in established, historic vineyards may well be worth your attention. Websites such as snooth.com and cellartracker.com are good resources for checking consumer opinions on the ability of California wines to age well.

South America The top estates from Chile and Argentina have exploded on the retail scene over the past decade. Despite their current popularity, this is still a good area to look for bargains. In Argentina, the main red wine grape variety is Malbec, which originated in the Bordeaux region. While Malbec had trouble ripening properly in Bordeaux, it flourished in the warm Argentine climate. In Chile, the success story is another Bordeaux transplant: Carménère. Supposedly the lost grape variety of Bordeaux, Carmènére was rediscovered in the Andes Mountains in the 1990s.

Producers to seek out and watch: Argentina: Vistalba; Achavel Ferrer; Bodega Catena Zapata; Terrazas de Los Andes; O. Fournier; Susana Balbo; Familia Zuccar​ di; Clos de Los Siete.

Commercial auctions can be an excellent way for the beginning collector to assemble a cellar. Here are some tips: l Remember to check for the wine’s provenance—if you have questions, ask. l Buyers contemplating large purchases should retain a consultant, particularly if older wines are involved. l Investigate storage and shipping issues before bidding.

Some houses conduct both live and Internet auctions; telephone bids are generally accepted. Some to consider: l Acker Merrall & Condit Co. (877-ACKER-47; ackerwines.com) l The Chicago Wine Company (630-594-2972; tcwc.com) l Morrell & Co. (212-307-4200; morrel wineauctions.net) l Zachys Wine & Liquor (866-922-4971; zachys.com) Most of these houses charge a buyer’s premium of 18-23 percent, except for The Chicago Wine Company. Both The Chicago Wine Company and Zachys are also good sources for Bordeaux futures.

In addition, there are a number of Internetonly auction sites. The most prominent of these are winecommune.com, winebid.com, spectrumwine.com and brentwoodwine.com.

When using an Internet-only site, be extra cautious about provenance. —M.S.

Gourmet Ingredient

The World’s Most Addictive Hot Sauce?

Sriracha is one of the hottest gourmet items on the planet—literally and figuratively.

Named for a coastal city in eastern Thailand, where it was invented for use with seafood, it’s made from chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt; the American version contains about half the heat of jalapeño peppers.

Among foodies, sriracha has come to be regarded as indispensable with sushi and certain Thai dishes. Critics contend hot sauce is a crutch—something that masks the flavors of other components in a dish, thus making qualitative judgments difficult. Many casual observers also note it tends to be habitforming: The heat from peppers creates a sensation similar to a drug-induced high, leaving the user craving more. —M.S.

The Delray Beach Jam Company If you’re going to get yourself into a jam, it might as well be one that’s handmade and organic. Parisian native Pascale Troupin-Castania founded Pascale’s—the Delray Beach Jam Company in 2011 and offers dozens of jams, marmalades, chutneys and hot sauces on a seasonal basis. “I grew up surrounded by food,” Troupin-Castania says.

“My father and grandmother were chefs, so I was always attracted to it. I started making jam in my twenties.”

She worked as a private chef on yachts and charter boats and cooked for a family in the south of France. When she and her husband moved to Delray, there were two mango trees in the front yard.

Troupin-Castania made jam from the excess fruit, began giving it to neighbors and before long—Voilà!—she was in business.

Her products are available at local outlets of The Fresh Market, at Amici Market in Palm Beach and at other gourmet locations. Her creations are 90 percent organic, and she sources ingredients from green markets and local farms and buys heavily from Global Organic.

Although she has a repertoire of 40-45 flavors, her most popular item is still her mango-lime-ginger jam. (561-706-2646, mangohouse.net) —m.S.

South Africa Rising The renaissance of a world-class wine region born in the mid-1600s has reached U.S. shores

By Mark SPivak

After languishing for many years during the apartheid era, South African wines have once again taken their place on the world stage. South Africa has a distinguished winemaking history dating back to the midseventeenth century. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the dessert wines of the Constantia estate near Cape Town were prized around the world. The country’s best wines combine old-world tradition with cutting-edge techniques and have caught the attention of oenophiles everywhere. Below, we highlight some of the most interesting estates.

Fairview: Although the first wine was made on this property in 1699, the fortunes of this producer (now called Fairview Wine & Cheese) really started to skyrocket when the Back family purchased the winery in 1937. The current owner, Charles Back, has been a pioneer in areas such as sustainability and fair trade. Perhaps best known in the United States for the whimsical Goats Do Roam label, which represents exceptional value at a reasonable price, Back is a stellar producer of Chenin Blanc (known in South Africa as Steen) and Pinotage, a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut.

Neil Ellis Wines: In 1986, Neil Ellis broke the mold, setting up shop as a négociant—someone who makes wines from purchased fruit or juice—in a country that places great importance on the pedigree of estate-grown

wines. Interestingly, his greatest successes have come in the United States. American wine consumers have developed a penchant for his Sauvignon Blanc, aptly named Sincerely ($12) in homage to Sancerre. It displays mouth-watering acidity and makes a great match with shellfish, particularly oysters. Equally enticing is his red blend, The Left Bank ($14), a succulent mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Ken Forrester Vineyards: In 1993, the Forrester family purchased the historic Scholtzenhof estate, which dates back to 1689. The estate’s Petit range (Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinotage) retails for around $10-$12 and provides Americans with an excellent introduction to South African wine. Consumers who want to experiment further should try the regular Ken Forrester labels ($15) and the Icon range ($45).

Graham Beck Winery: Graham Beck, who died in 2010, is regarded as one of the patriarchs of the South

African wine industry. His family still manages the property. Popular offerings include the Game Reserve line of wines ($13-$18) and the Cap Classique sparklers, method champenoise blends of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

House of Mandela: In the post-apartheid era, many estates place equal importance on producing first-rate wine and on being conscious of the social issues that contribute to their product. Not surprisingly, one of the wineries combining the two concerns is the House of Mandela.

The project was started by Makaziwe and Tukwini Mandela, the daughter and granddaughter, respectively, of Nelson Mandela. They wanted to enter the wine business because they perceived that a very small number of black South Africans, and even fewer women, were involved in the industry. They place great importance on sustainability, fair trade and biodiversity and are dedicated to improving the plight of impoverished vineyard workers. They operate as négociants, buying grapes from three carefully selected estates, one of which is Fairview.

The House of Mandela puts out an entry-level line called the Thembu Collection, a trio of Reserve wines, and a methode champenoise sparkler. Roughly one-third of their production comes to the States, and the wines represent an opportunity for consumers to drink well and contribute to a good cause at the same time. «

We use hand-carved stools from Kenya and the Congo for drink tables or even extra seating. The coffee table is fabricated from a large piece of ebony, while the soft green and gray hues throughout the room allude to the colors of the African plains.” Kim Coleman Interiors, Palm Beach (561-6556500, kimcoleman.com)

is the recent run-up in prices sustainable?

The quick answer is yes. With the stock market trading at near all-time highs, consumer confidence at the high end of the income bracket remains strong. There is still strong demand for quality properties—demand that far outstrips supply in the near term. That buyer thirst needs to be quenched before prices level off.

Why is there so little supply?

It is a combination of factors. First, it is simply the result of market absorption that occurred over the last 18 months. The buying floodgates opened at the beginning of 2013, and haven’t turned off. Supply has had a hard time catching up.

Second, because of the reduced supply, mobility has been limited. Many people who want to sell are having trouble finding appetizing buying opportunities; lacking alternatives, they are unmotivated to list their properties for sale.

What should buyers do?

The most important thing I counsel my buyers today on is patience. That is often easy to say but much harder to practice.

Over the long term, markets always find equilibrium, and the current market is no different. The important thing is to be patient and ready to act when an opportunity presents itself. Forcing the issue by acting precipitously will often prove to be a mistake, either in paying too much for a property or buying one that you ultimately are not completely happy with.

A Global Network

Waterfront Properties connects continents in its worldwide marketing strategy.

by Nila Do Simon

With its secure and stable environment, the United States is a prime option for foreign home buyers and investors. As the domestic economy continues its strong recovery, more international workers and those looking for second and third residences have been eyeing the U.S. market for their home purchase. And as large as the global market is, Realtor Rob Thomson has closed the gap between international waters and his northern Palm Beach County market.

With his vast network of luxury brokers throughout the world, Thomson has boots on the ground across the globe. The managing partner at Palm Beach County’s exclusive real estate firm Waterfront Properties and Club Communities, Thomson’s strong ties and marketing relationships with leading brokers in the United Kingdom, mainland Europe, Asia and Latin America have consistently led to home sales from international buyers.

His membership into the invitation-only Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate has prepared a path for domestic sellers to market their homes to a worldwide audience.

As the only Palm Beach County Realtor on the Board of Regents, the executive committee of the internationally connected Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate community, Thomson has brought his listings in front of not only local eyes but national and international ones as well.

When leading Swiss real estate agent Edgar van Schaik met Thomson at the recent Monte Carlo symposium of the Who’s Who, van Schaik knew instantly he had a trusted ally in Thomson. After hearing of Thomson’s extensive Internet and modern marketing knowledge, van Schaik was impressed. Though separated by thousands of miles, van Schaik was immediately struck with the chance to keep a working relationship with Thomson and his Waterfront Properties team. The director of Swiss-based Rockefeller Estates, whose affluent clientele enjoy access to an exclusive lifestyle, says, “When I see a guy like Rob, I see there’s a connected and trustworthy person who is worth investing in. In the end, it’s a people’s business, and Rob and I clicked.”

Todd Cutter

Nick Churton

Debbie Fisher, a Charleston, South Carolina-based member of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate, knows firsthand how connecting with someone like Thomson can benefit her clients. When Thomson found out one of his local clients was looking for a home in Charleston, he knew immediately he had a dependable friend and broker he could refer to the client. Fisher quickly connected with the client and is currently helping him find a home with sizeable dock space for his boat.

Perhaps one of the strongest advantages Waterfront Properties has is its direct partnership with London-based Mayfair International Realty.

With its huge international reach, Mayfair has effectively marketed the northern Palm Beach County properties across the globe since 2005.

The partnership has essentially multiplied Waterfront Properties’ already advanced and impressive marketing efforts, directly reaching out to English-speaking audiences around the world.

Since she met Thomson at a conference last year in Valencia, Spain, Fisher has championed Thomson’s innovative and modern approaches to real estate, even pulling some concepts into her own real estate firm, Handsome Properties. Fisher draws parallels between her coastal market and Waterfront Properties’ luxury one, using those similarities to heighten her organization’s strengths.

“We are really Rob’s firm in Europe,” says Nick Churton, managing director at Mayfair. “We have created a resource for them to reach a market that they would not normally have reached. It was great to have Rob here in London this January in our office to discuss the market in Florida.”

“Rob is extremely willing to share ideas with all the members of Who’s Who,” she says. “He’s just given me so many ideas about SEO, website, marketing, what works, what doesn’t work.”

Todd Cutter, another executive member of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate, also has had firsthand knowledge witnessing Waterfront Properties’ modern marketing. Cutter, who cofounded 2 Costa Rica Real Estate with his brother, Scott, remembers sitting in a Who’s Who meeting in New York when Thomson and Marketing Director David Abernathy presented a session about advances in real estate technology. As Cutter puts it, “The entire room was in shock over their forward-thinking ideas. And this is not an easy room to impress. I watched the reaction of a lot of people in the room and saw the eyes of amazement.”

Beyond that, Cutter has built a strong relationship with Thomson during the nearly five years they’ve known each other. “We are referring our clients to a great person,” he says of Thomson. “If our clients are selling their domestic homes to live in Costa Rica, we know we can refer them to Rob and Waterfront Properties to get their homes sold.”

To do so, Churton and his Mayfair office reach out directly to media sources from the United Kingdom to Singapore and communicate the available homes Waterfront Properties has in its inventory. “We find it’s important to be out there in the international market,” Churton underlines. “The Internet isn’t the only answer; publications are, too.”

One of the best examples of Mayfair’s work includes how an American expatriate living in Singapore read an article in a U.K. newspaper that Mayfair marketed. The article spoke about a beautiful home in the United States. The American called his wife, and soon the two purchased the property, securing a vacation home in the United States.

“Rob had the foresight to work with us, and it is our job to show how we can expose this property to a broad audience,” Churton says.

“What we do is give it added value, added exposure, added opportunity for the sellers.”

For Thomson and his entire Waterfront Properties team, the value of having such a vast global network has been one of its most effective tools for their clients. And, it’s just one more way Thomson is bridging the gap between countries.

Spa-cation Where will you vacation this summer? We suggest combining a summer getaway with a healthy excursion at a luxury wellness retreat. A joint study led by the Global Wellness Institute and SRI International defines wellness tourism as “all travel associated with the pursuit of maintaining or enhancing one’s personal well-being.” As a $439 billion market, wellness tourism encompasses trips for all needs, interests and desires. On palmbeachillustrated.com, we’ve compiled a list of some of the top global wellness hotspots. Whether you’re interested in learning how to adopt healthier habits (Sha Wellness Clinic, Alicante, Spain), seeing the world (Escape to Shape traveling fitness spa), escaping it all (Simply Healing Detox Retreat, West Sussex, England), embarking on an Ayurveda journey (Vivanta by Taj, Bekal, Kerala, India), discovering inner peace (ChivaSom, Hua Hin, Thailand) or simply visiting one of the top spas in the world located in our own backyard (Spa Palazzo, Boca Raton Resort and Club), we’ve found a destination for everyone.

Go Figure

Kick It

When ballet techniques join the practices of Pilates and yoga, the Lotte Berk Method, or barre fitness, is born. Throw some orthopedic exercises into the mix and the result is the Figure Method, a form of barre exercise developed by Cindy Sites. As in a traditional barre class, practitioners use a ballet barre, body-weight exercises and light hand weights to tone and strengthen with low impact. Sites opened Go Figure Barre Studios in Greenwich, Connecticut 13 years ago and now has 10 studios throughout the United States, including one in Palm Beach. (561-833-8999, gofigurestudio.com)

Horseplay For many South Floridians, riding and other equestrian sports are popular hobbies. But working with horses can also be therapeutic. As executive director of the nonprofit Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Center in Loxahatchee, Ruth Menor has seen firsthand the benefits of equine therapy. “We use the horses’ gentle nature and rhythmic movement to create a therapeutic environment that promotes healing of body and soul,” she says.

Vinceremos’ 23 horses work with clients with physical, cognitive and psychological differences. To participate, riders must have some basic head control and independent sitting ability, as specified by the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International.

Menor has worked with riders with traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis as well as those with autism, Down syndrome, learning disabilities and developmental delays.

Two facets of equine therapy are therapeutic riding and hippotherapy. In therapeutic riding, clients learn basic riding skills, with the goal of riding independently. Hippotherapy uses a horse’s movement to improve neurological function and sensory processing. Through these sessions, riders forge relationships with horses and build confidence by controlling a 1,000-pound animal. (561-792-9900, vinceremos.org)

Looking for a new approach to martial arts? Then try capoeira. Born in Brazil nearly 500 years ago, capoeira combines elements of martial arts and rhythm for one unique and soulful workout. In Boynton Beach, Contra Mestre Betinho, a capoeira master from Brazil, and his wife, Sara, teach the practice at Capoeira Karkara. “Capoeira is a martial art unlike any other because it incorporates self-defense, dance, music, acrobatics, culture and family in a very interesting and exciting way,” Sara says. We asked Sara to explain the basics of this Brazilian practice. (561-737-3425, capoeirakarkara.com) How is a typical capoeira class structured?

A typical class is always done to music, typically a recorded version of the live music that accompanies all capoeira gatherings.

The class begins with a warm-up and stretching, followed by a series of drills, some individual techniques, partner sequences and/ or movement combinations. Students practice each technique, then sometimes do push-ups, sit-ups or other exercises before transitioning to the next segment of class. A typical class is about an hour.

What are some of the core practices or techniques of capoeira?

The core technique is the ginga. It is the most important move of all. The ginga—which means “swing”—is the basis for all movement in capoeira. To ginga, one must rock back and forth, stepping back and up, alternating legs, and arms always protecting the face.

What about self-defense movements?

Capoeira uses mostly kicks as a way of self-defense and various ways to be sneaky and move away fast to avoid an attack.

There are several typical sweeps and takedowns that are used regularly, such as rasteira, vingativa and banda.

Boot camps are no longer reserved for the military. Fitness boot camps have gained popularity in recent years due to their high-energy calisthenics, fullbody workout approach and spirit of camaraderie.

Though boot camp specifics vary, all promise to whip participants into top shape while building confidence.

In Palm Beach County, there are a number of boot camps in which to enlist.

For Camaraderie: Palm Beach County Boot Camp, Lake Park. Since opening in 2008, the Palm Beach County Boot Camp and Fitness Center has lived by the motto, “We are not a gym, we are a family.” The signature boot camp class incorporates circuit training over 45 minutes, offering modifications for all skill levels. Class sizes vary from five to 35 participants, with sessions available Monday through Saturday. (561557-5351, pbcbootcamp.com) For Convenience: Camp Gladiator, various locations. Created by 2008 American Gladiators winner Ally Davidson, Camp Gladiator is a fitness program offered throughout the country, including on the waterfront in downtown West Palm Beach. Each boot camp session lasts four weeks, and participants bring dumbbells, a mat and a towel to each outdoor meeting. (561-602-4774, campgladiator.com) For Girl Power: North Palm Beach Adventure Boot Camp, North Palm Beach.

Designed specifically for women of all shapes and sizes, this boot camp includes core conditioning, short-distance running and obstacle courses, among other exercises. Maribel Bleeker, a certified adventure fitness trainer, leads campers through an hour-long workout Monday through Friday, with the goal of inspiring women to be the best version of themselves.

The natural sugars can fight off fatigue. Have a cut or burn? Apply honey to the area. The sticky solution has antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and its natural moisture allows for rapid burn healing. Want to improve your immune system? Eat more honey. Due to its antioxidant properties, honey can improve digestion and fight disease.

Agenda

Everybody, Let’s Rock!

O

On December 4, 1956, rock ’n’ roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins came together for an impromptu jam session at Memphis’ Sun Record Studios. The four young musicians were nicknamed the Million Dollar Quartet after that legendary session, and a recording of their carefree jamming was released years later under the same name. Relive that famous night in music history from April 29 to May 4, when the Kravis Center hosts Million Dollar Quartet. The Broadway jukebox musical reenacts hits from the quartet’s recording, including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Walk the Line” and “Hound Dog.” (561-832-7469, kravis.org) —Jessica Bielak

Jaclyn Sienna India Jaclyn Sienna India is on the road 200 days a year, scoping out the most luxurious hotels and travel destinations for her high-profile and celebrity clientele. As the owners of Sienna Charles Travel, Jaclyn and husband Freddy Charles Reinert believe in serving their clients on a more personal and traditional level; Jaclyn never sends a client anywhere she hasn’t personally visited herself—and that means destinations in 75 countries. When she’s not working, Jaclyn spends her time in Palm Beach and New York’s Upper East Side.
