v FROM THE PUBLISHER

Looking Forward n eagerly anticipated economic report, the annual Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study released a few weeks ago by research firm Bain & Co., expects spending on luxury items in the United States to grow by 8 percent this year. It attributes this good news to a growing desire among affluent consumers to open their wallets again after the last few guarded years.

As one of the study’s authors puts it, “Luxury has made a brilliant return to the retail stage,” and businesses that serve wealthy audiences currently are gearing up production and advertising. Amid this rising interest, department stores and luxury retailers have placed “robust” orders for the fall/winter season while frequently restocking their inventories of accessories, leather goods and jewelry. Luxury car sales are running about 60 percent better than last year. And, not surprisingly, investors are putting more money into luxury stocks, according to the news service Reuters.

For some perspective, the study expects luxury consumers will “keep coming into stores and continue making purchases with the same vigor” last seen around 2005. Most of us remember those as comfortable days, so a description like that seems to hold some promise.

As consumers, I hope we will continue proving the forecast accurate—perhaps exceed it. We naturally accelerate our spending once we’re in the “season” frame of mind, but there’s nothing stopping us from acquiring the things we desire right now, especially as this new environment brings new commodities to market.

While we all agree the era of conspicuous consumption thankfully is over, we also understand and appreciate that our personal circumstances make it possible for us to invest in products and experiences that express quality, rarity and personality. Let’s keep that mindset alive.

More significantly, I hope we, as business owners, will ensure our optimism pays off by actively engaging these eager customers. The Bain study indicates the luxury industry is being transformed by more-demanding consumers, a generational shift in buying habits and interests, a redefined sense of loyalty, and other factors. Smart businesses will react to the changes, but the very best ones will distinguish themselves in an increasingly competitive marketplace by constantly innovating—and making sure their clients, both potential and existing, know about it. This is the difference between surviving and thriving.

There’s more to an economic rebound than just what we, as luxury consumers and business owners, can do, of course. But it seems clear the time is right for all of us to take a few bold steps forward.

S

eptember, for most of us, is the time for change. From backto-school excitement to the first breaths of autumn in the air, we are feeling the stirrings of a new season—and a fresh take on familiar routines.

This month, Palm Beach Illustrated is dedicated to the best of everything, setting the stage for a season of wonderful new experiences. Our signature feature, “The A-List,” is our annual look at all that’s hot around Palm Beach County now. Our editors have compiled a compendium of fresh finds, new favorites, intriguing places and not-to-be-missed experiences in such categories as dining, home decor, culture, family activities and beauty. See our picks starting on page 49. If we’ve missed something you feel strongly about (space is limited, after all), email me and tell me about it. I always love to hear from readers.

Next, check out our automotive editor’s annual roundup of the year’s hottest cars. This year, Howard Walker is focusing on luxury hybrids—sleek, sexy, superfast autos with a surprisingly low carbon footprint. Green driving is the way of the future, and we are proud to present the hybrid/electric lineups and concept cars of the luxury marques in “Electrifying Luxury,” on page 70.

We also lavish some attention on the four-legged companions that are like members of our family. Who wouldn’t want to spoil her lovable pup with such extravagances as private “doga” classes or a pearl necklace? In Palm Beach, nothing is too extreme when it comes to pampering our pets, and we prove it in “Pawsitively Posh,” on page 76.

September also is the month for fashion. With the entire industry abuzz about Fashion’s Night Out, which takes place worldwide September 8, we cast our own spotlight on the fall collections. “Movie Magic” is our cinematic take on the silver screen circa World War II. Not only is it a tale beautifully told in vintage-style photos, it also shows off 1940sinspired fashion, which was a hot story on the fall runways. Take the journey with us on page 62, and check out the behind-the-scenes video on palmbeachillustrated.com.

As a new season unfolds, I hope you will find plenty of ideas and inspiration in our pages.

Enjoy the issue.

Q 3

v Jack Hanna

For more than 40 years, Jack Hanna has been a spokesman for all animals wild and domestic. Hanna, who began his career at Central Florida Zoo in Sanford, has been working at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio since 1978, first as the executive director and currently as the director emeritus. The part-time Jupiter resident also travels the world to help educate people with his Emmy-award winning Jack Hanna’s Into the Wild and as a regular guest on the talk show circuit. n Tell US about your recent adventures.

We just got back from the Amazon, where we traveled about 300 miles up the river and filmed nine shows. We also went into Chile in Patagonia and the Straights of Magellan, where we filmed an island that must have had 30,000 Magellanic penguins on it.

Rick A. Prebeg, World Class Images

n What is one of the biggest problems we face?

Overpopulation. No one wants to discuss it because we all have different values. I am not just saying this country, but all over the world.

I have a home in Rwanda, [which] is the size of Vermont. Vermont has 700,000 people; Rwanda has 8.5 million people. n What can we do to help the Earth?

People laugh when I say that when I brush my teeth, I turn the water off in between. [In Rwanda, people] take jugs twice a week and walk three miles one way to a river and three miles back with jugs that weigh about 50 pounds. When I saw that, I [vowed] to try to conserve water. Water is the source of everything on our planet. —Lola Thélin

Paint and Style A portrait, whether of a human or animal subject, is a lasting tribute. When he is commissioned for a horse painting, artist Sean Rush believes in spending quality time with his subject, as the most ephemeral moment may become the entire painting. “When developing these paintings, my goal is to capture a moment of tender relationship with these noble animals,” he says. “To preserve the nuances of a moment in time and how the light played across that moment.” Rush works in oil on canvas and French stained paper.

The staining, he says, imparts an organic quality that helps guide the painting while celebrating the beauty of imperfection. seanrush.com 28

diversions first class v Roman Masterpiece The Rome Cavalieri is equal parts tranquil refuge, museum-quality art experience and lavish luxury.

By Robert Ragaini

In the 1953 film Roman Holiday, Gregory Peck motors Audrey Hepburn through Rome’s chaotic streets on a Vespa scooter. All these years later, nothing about the city’s hustle and bustle has diminished. Fortunately, travelers can escape to the serene oasis of the Waldorf Astoria’s Rome Cavalieri, nestled amid a 15-acre private park minutes from Rome’s center.

The stylish and elegant hotel rivals some small museums, with more than 1,100 paintings, sculptures, tapestries and antique furnishings that are cared for by an on-staff restorer. The star of the show is a massive Giovanni Battista Tiepolo triptych bought at

auction in 2006. Frescoes from a seventeenth-century villa face the Cascella luxury boutique off the lobby.

Also on display is a unique gilt bronze Kingwood Parquetry commode from the mid-eighteenth century that belonged to Frederick Augustus II, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland that was commissioned by the Palace of Warsaw in 1745.

Weary guests fully decompress in opulently appointed suites, each adorned with impressive works of art. The views from all of the suites’ balconies and terraces encompass the entirety of ancient Rome. Of course, all of the art and antiques are complemented by twenty-first century, leading-edge conveniences.

For the ultimate relaxation, escape to the Grand Spa Club, with 10 rooms dedicated to pampering treatments from around the world. A face or two may look familiar in the spa; George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Leonardo DiCaprio have been here. The Grand Spa

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Club also features a Turkish bath with hot and cold plunge pools, four swimming pools and hydromassage.

When visitors feel sufficiently relaxed and ready for some activity, they can spend some time in the Technogym fitness studio, take a class in the adjoining Pilates or yoga room, or play tennis on one of two Davis Cup clay courts.

For those who like a bit more action, we recommend the gladiator training, one of the hotel’s Unique Experiences. Hidden in Rome’s far reaches is a dusty field devoted to the art of the gladiator, where participants are taught formal moves by a teacher steeped in gladiatorial history. The program includes a gladiator kit with traditional tunic, Roman sandals, belt, protective gloves and wooden training sword. At the end of the program, students receive a medal declaring them a Tiro, or firstlevel gladiator.

For even more action, ask for the special called the Italian Super-Car Experience. Guests get an afternoon with an Italian dream car—a low-slung, smoking-hot red Ferrari F430 Spider. “From zero to 100 kilometers an hour in 3-plus seconds,” the driver says. Suddenly the Ferrari is flying, passing cars with a roar. Later, we

get behind the wheel for a slower four-hour drive through hilltop villages on the Mille Miglia route along the winding roads that made the Gran Turismo sportscar famous.

Another notable offering comes by way of a partnership with Italy’s finest to offer Rome Cavalieri guests exclusive “insider” tours around Rome. Some of the tours include access to locations that are not open to the general public.

Since art is ubiquitous throughout the property, it’s only appropriate that a living artist resides at the Rome Cavalieri. Chef Heinz Beck of La Pergola Restaurant is one of those rare individuals to have received three Michelin stars; La Pergola is the only restaurant in Rome with the prestigious award. Although no single dish deserves to eclipse the others, Beck’s signature Fagotelli La Pergola (homemade fresh pasta filled with a creamy carbonara sauce of eggs, cheese and pepper, with some zucchini and crispy bacon) is particularly worth trying. As Beck and the rest of the Rome Cavalieri staff know, the ongoing challenge is to match the standards set by the Masters centuries ago. And they do just that. romecavalieri.com u

DOWN MEXICO WAY BMW’s brilliant new 650i convertible makes the perfect driving companion on the road to Cabo.

BY HOWARD WALKER

The Mexican Federal Highway 1 (Mex 1 for short) meanders its way 1,061 miles south along the Baja Peninsula from the U.S. border town of Tijuana to the surf, sun and tequila playground of Cabo San Lucas.

Most of it is arrow-straight monotony through scrubby, bone-dry desert, with only the occasional snoozing bovine straddling the center line to inject any excitement.

But there’s this one section of Mex 1 that runs from the outskirts of La Paz on the Sea of Cortez, across the Sierra de la Laguna mountains to Cabo San Lucas 120 miles away. It’s officially one of God’s greatest driving roads.

This asphalt rollercoaster has more twists than a Grisham novel and is interspersed with mile-long straightaways for pedal-to-the-metal joy. Traffic is virtually nonexistent, la Policía is nowhere to be seen, and the newly surfaced asphalt feels more like a race track than a public highway.

This is the perfect road to sample BMW’s latest and greatest 6-series convertible, the 2012 650i. Top down to take in the stunning scenery, a new 4.4-liter V8 nuclear reactor and 42

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

8-speed auto to provide the thrills, and Mex 1 ahead. Driving just doesn’t get any better.

This is the third-generation 6-series drophead. New from the tires up, it’s three inches longer than before, an inch and a half wider, and noticeably roomier. While you’d never call it beautiful—Maserati’s GranTurismo convertible owns that accolade—the refreshed styling gives this new sharknosed 6-series a look of subtle bad-boy aggression. See it approaching fast in your rear view and you’re going to move over.

While BMW’s designers and engineers pondered the pros and cons of giving this new 6-series a tin roof, they quickly aban-

doned the idea. Too much metal to fold, too much space taken up in the trunk. Good call. The new multilayered canvas top powers into the trunk in just 19 seconds and can do its job while the car is rolling at speeds up to 25 mph.

And even with the top down, you still have 10.6 cubic feet of trunk space to play with—enough for a couple of bulky golf bags, or a weekend’s worth of Louis Vuittons.

Slide behind the wheel and it’s hard, if not impossible, to resist exhaling an aaahhhh of appreciation. Here is a cocoon of precision-stitched leather, exotic woodwork and satin-brushed metal. It’s not as flashy

as a Bentley Continental GTC’s cabin, or as tactile as the Maserati’s. It’s just teutonically elegant.

Dominating the dash is a giant 10.2inch screen—perfect for us over-50s with squinty eyesight. It features new Transreflective technology that makes it easier to read in bright sunlight. Even more impressive is the new mapping software that gives a near 3-D view of the terrain. It’s like looking down at the road from a helicopter.

By adding three inches—2.9 to be precise—to the length, BMW has given some much-needed extra kneeroom in the back.

Now there’s space for a couple of adults to sit in reasonable comfort for short trips.

Pressing the “start” button breathes life into one of the greatest engines available in any car today—BMW’s potent 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8. The 400 horsepower it produces is impressive enough. But what

really puts a grin on your face is the towering 450 pound-feet of torque (torque=fun) that comes on tap from around 1,700 rpm. As clichéd as it sounds, the feeling it gives is just like being released from a catapult.

Couple this mighty V8 with a brilliant new 8-speed automatic that delivers blinkof-an-eye shifts, and you’re rewarded with standstill-to-60 mph sprinting in 4.9 seconds, zero-to-100 in under 12.5.

On Mex 1 to Cabo, it all comes together to produce one seriously rapid automobile.

Play with the paddle shifters to fire you out of the curves, toggle through the trio of suspension settings—Sport Plus will satisfy anyone’s inner Mario Andretti—and you have a car with a breadth of capability that’s unparalleled in this class.

For now, just one 6-series drophead is on offer—the $91,375 650i. A new 6-series coupe lands later this year.

frown lines are just not me Dysport® is a prescription injection for temporary improvement in the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age.

Important Safety Information What is the most important information you should know about Dysport ?

Spread of Toxin Effects: In some cases, the effects of Dysport and all botulinum toxin products may affect areas of the body away from the injection site. These effects can cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. Symptoms of botulism can happen hours to weeks after injection and may include swallowing and breathing problems, loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, or loss of bladder control. Swallowing and breathing problems can be life threatening and there have been reports of death.

The risk of symptoms is probably greatest in children and adults treated for muscle spasms, particularly in those patients who have underlying medical conditions that could make these symptoms more likely.

The toxic effects have been reported at doses similar to those used to treat muscle spasms in the neck. Lower doses, in both approved and unapproved uses, have also caused toxic effects. This includes treatment of children and adults for muscle spasms.

These effects could make it unsafe for you to drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.

Do not have Dysport treatment if you: are allergic to Dysport or any of its

ingredients (see the end of the Medication Guide for a list of ingredients), are allergic to cow’s milk protein, had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as Myobloc® or Botox,® or have a skin infection at the planned injection site.

The dose of Dysport is not the same as the dose of any other botulinum toxin product. The dose of Dysport cannot be compared to the dose of any other botulinum toxin product you may have used.

Dysport may not be right for you if: you have surgical changes to your face, very weak muscles in the treatment area, your face looks very different from side to side, the injection site is inflamed, you have droopy eyelids or sagging eyelid folds, deep facial scars, thick oily skin, or if your wrinkles can’t be smoothed by spreading them apart.

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you have: a disease that affects your muscles and nerves (such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease], myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), allergies to any botulinum toxin product or had any side effect from any botulinum toxin product in the past, a breathing problem (such as asthma or emphysema), swallowing problems, bleeding problems, diabetes, a slow heart beat or other problem with your heart rate or rhythm, plans to have surgery, had surgery on your face, weakness of your forehead muscles (such as trouble raising your eyebrows), drooping eyelids, or any other change in the way your face normally looks. Patients with a disease that affects muscles and nerves who are treated with typical doses of Dysport may have a higher risk of serious side effects, including severe swallowing and breathing problems.

Human Albumin This product contains albumin taken from human plasma. Steps taken during donor screening and product manufacturing processes make the risk of spreading viral diseases extremely rare. In theory, there is also an extremely rare risk of contracting Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). No cases of spread of viral diseases or CJD have ever been reported for albumin.

Allergic Reaction to Injecting in the Skin It is not known if an allergic reaction can be caused by injecting Dysport into the skin. The safety of treating excessive sweating with Dysport is not known.

Common Side Effects The most common side effects are nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea.

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal and other natural products. Using Dysport with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects.

MEDICATION GUIDE Dysport ® (DIS-port) (abobotulinumtoxinA) Injection Read the Medication Guide that comes with Dysport before you start using it and each time Dysport is given to you. There may be new information. This information does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or your treatment. You should share this information with your family members and caregivers.

What is the most important information I should know about Dysport ?

Dysport may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of these problems after treatment with Dysport : • Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing. These problems can happen hours to weeks after an injection of Dysport usually because the muscles that you use to breathe and swallow can become weak after the injection. Death can happen as a complication if you have severe problems with swallowing or breathing after treatment with Dysport.

• People with certain breathing problems may need to use muscles in their neck to help them breathe. These patients may be at greater risk for serious breathing problems with Dysport.

• Swallowing problems may last for several weeks. People who can not swallow well may need a feeding tube to receive food and water. If swallowing problems are severe, food or liquids may go into your lungs. People who already have swallowing or breathing problems before receiving Dysport have the highest risk of getting these problems.

• Spread of toxin effects. In some cases, the effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas of the body away from the injection site and cause symptoms of a serious condition called botulism. The symptoms of botulism include: • loss of strength and muscle weakness all over the body • double vision • blurred vision and drooping eyelids • hoarseness or change or loss of voice (dysphonia) • trouble saying words clearly (dysarthria) • loss of bladder control • trouble breathing • trouble swallowing These symptoms can happen hours to weeks after you receive an injection of Dysport.

These problems could make it unsafe for you to drive a car or do other dangerous activities. See “What should I avoid while receiving Dysport ?”.

What is Dysport ?

Dysport is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used:

• to treat the abnormal head position and neck pain that happens with cervical dystonia (CD) in adults • to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults younger than 65 years of age for a short period of time (temporary) CD is caused by muscle spasms in the neck.

These spasms cause abnormal position of the head and often neck pain. After Dysport is injected into muscles, those muscles are weakened for up to 12 to 16 weeks or longer.

This may help lessen your symptoms.

Frown lines (wrinkles) happen because the muscles that control facial expression are used often (muscle tightening over and over). After Dysport is injected into the muscles that control facial expression, the medicine stops the tightening of these muscles for up to 4 months.

It is not known whether Dysport is safe or effective in children under 18 years of age.

It is not known whether Dysport is safe or effective for the treatment of other types of muscle spasms. It is not known whether Dysport is safe or effective for the treatment of other wrinkles.

O Pioneer!

Any local business that survives 100 years (including, in this case, the Great Depression and several recessions) deserves to be recognized. In February, Pioneer Linens, which began life as a hardware store in Lake Worth and gradually morphed and moved to downtown West Palm Beach, celebrates its centennial. But the fact that Pioneer has made it to the milestone is only part of the story. In its 100 years, the store has never veered from the original vision of presenting expertly edited, ultraluxe linens; if anything, it has raised the bar. In addition to its storefront,

The Inspired Potter

Great Gifting Boca’s jewel of a boutique, the Regency Collection, is tucked away in a shopping center out west, but it is well worth the trek. The shop has been there for 15 years and has a loyal following. We can see why.

Every corner is filled with elegant pieces and fun finds that are made for gifting. There is an extensive collection of Michael Aram’s organic metal frames and objects, the beautiful Annieglass serveware that seems to grace everyone’s butler’s pantry, table décor of every stripe, candles, occasion stationery, and lots and lots of Judaica. One corner of the boutique is devoted to handbags, including some bejeweled minaudières that, we’re told, “fly off the shelves.” regencycollectiongifts.com

Sara Lerner is a potter with a purpose. Her organic, sculptural pots are more than vases or tea bowls or pitchers. Lerner, also a yoga teacher at Parasutra in Palm Beach, inscribes messages on her pottery that relate to yogic teachings and mindful living. “The words—blessings, messages and decorations—serve as reminders to the holder, reflecting their goodness, and that of life itself,” Lerner says. The vessels, mostly rendered in shades of white with subtle carvings, are available at Parasutra. saralernerceramics.com

DINING FROZEN MASTERPIECE Sloan Kamenstein, of Sloan’s Ice Cream fame, is a genius when it comes to creating flavors. He’s the mastermind behind such concoctions as Luscious Sloan’s Dark, a decadent mix of dark chocolate, chocolate chunks, walnuts and fudge, and Circus, a fun blend of cotton-candy ice cream and Gummy Bears that should come with sugar-high warnings. For the PBI A-List, Kamenstein has created an extra-special flavor: Salty Sea Turtle. A nod to the sea turtles that grace our shores, this amazing new blend includes broken bits of chocolate, caramel and pecan “turtles,” salted pecans, milk chocolate chunks, and chocolate and butter-

Sea and Be Seen This is South Florida. Dining oceanside is part of the vibe, and one of the privileges of living here. And yet there are so few restaurants parked directly on the Atlantic shoreline. That’s why we’ve found our bliss at Atlantic Bar & Grill at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach.

The Atlantic—aptly named, as it sits on the beach among the sea oats, overlooking the ocean—goes a step beyond its idyllic location to offer a supercool dining concept. The food, which is served en plein air, is inspired by beach fare from around the country. The spicy beef salad with lemongrass-chili vinaigrette is not to be missed. fourseasons.com/palmbeach

Daily Bread Low-carb dieters, you may want to skip this. For the rest of you, here is our list of favorite places to grab a stellar loaf (or croissant, or pastry). Because, let’s face it, sometimes you just have to have a little carb fix. u Best Baguette—Le Petit Pain in Lantana turns out a fabulous version of the Parisian classic. They keep them coming all day, too, so your chances for a hot loaf don’t vanish by 11 a.m. lepetitpainfrenchbakery.com u Best Pie—This one is a no-brainer. The Upper Crust in Lake Worth bakes the most amazing cream and fruit pies, bar none. During strawberry season, go out of your way to get a fresh strawberry pie. theuppercrust.com u Best Croissant—Bistro Bistro Bakery in West Palm Beach’s Northwood neighborhood is new to the scene, but its croissants are already legendary. The owners import the dough from Montreal and finish it on the premises daily. Close your eyes and you could be on the Rue Royale. 561-228-1081 u Best Cake—Temptation, thy name is Gramma’s Bakery. The Delray Beach shop is nirvana for cake lovers. The case is jam packed with creative flavors (the apricot, pistachio and cherry cake is a local favorite), each more decadent than the next. 561-496-0185 u Best French Everything—We have never met a pastry at Blue Provence that we did not like. Chef/owner Thierry Miroir stacks his Palm Beach bakery with authentic French sweets, cakes, breads, prepared foods and provisions. The fruit tarts alone are worth the trip. blueprovence.com

New Kid on the Block One of the newest hits on the island is Buccan. Chef Clay Conley, who is part owner along with Piper Quinn and Sam Slattery, is serving up small plate treasures to a packed house from the open kitchen of this Palm Beach hot spot.

Popular dishes are the steak tartare with a crispy egg yolk, meatball spring rolls and the spinach and tomato gnocchi.

The menu can change daily, though, based on available fresh ingredients and Conley’s travels. A recent trip to New England inspired the additions of fried Ipswich clams with pork belly and cherry pepper aioli, and stuffed clams casino with spinach, bacon and Pernod.

Film Forward Lovers of foreign and independent films have been rejoicing since Florida Atlantic University’s Living Room Theaters opened about a year ago. With good reason.

This all-digital hybrid between traditional movie theater and art house screens films you’re not likely to see on the big marquee—or outside of film festivals, for that matter. The films alone are reason to go, but the Living Room is a complete moviegoing experience. The café offers in-theater service and is a comfy place to gather for a lively discussion after the show.

Classical Evening We can only imagine the beauty of a private chamber music concert by the Perlman Music Program. The pitch-perfect chords. Dramatic crescendos. Synchronized bows. If you are one of the lucky few to snag an invitation to the March 10, 2012 event, this promises to be the concert of the season. Hosted by Jim and Kristy Clark with Emilia and Pepe Fanjul, the program’s fourth annual concert and dinner will be held at the Clarks’ Palm Beach home and will feature a concert by students and alumni. The benefit is in honor of Toby and Itzhak Perlman and their Perlman Music Program, which trains the next generation of classical music leaders. perlmanmusicprogram.org

Fisker Karma

Eco-friendly hybrids don’t have to look like cover models for Hemp Wearers Monthly. They can look sleek, sexy and drop-dead gorgeous while delivering their zero-emission performance.

BY HOWARD WALKER

investment, Fisker’s Karma goes on sale this summer with a price tag of $95,900—and an ambitious global sales target of 15,000 cars a year.

Under the hood, it has a GM-supplied turbo four-cylinder that acts as a he-man-sized generator. This charges up a lithium-ion battery pack that, in turn, provides the volts to two big electric motors that deliver a combined 403 horsepower to the rear axle.

In your stop-start daily commute, the Karma will run for around 50 miles on stealthy, zero-emission electric power. If that runs out, the gas motor kicks in to give you another 250 miles on a tank, or roughly 40 mpg.

It’s pretty quick for a hybrid. On electric power alone, it’ll run zero-to-60 in 7.9 seconds, or 5.9 secs with a boost from the gas engine.

And, as you’d expect, the Karma is big on sustainability. Its roof is one big solar panel, the chassis and body are made of lightweight aluminum, and even the wood inside is recycled—it’s made from fallen lumber from California and Lake Michigan.

That’s enough to give every tree-hugger some instant karma.

Your wake-up call comes way too early and for a moment you consider snuggling deeper into your very preppy Ame & Lulu monogrammed bed ($76 bed, $20 embroidery, Lori Jayne Monogramming & More, Palm Beach, 561-514-9199). You know it was a bad idea to stay so late at yappy hour last night but it is, after all, the pooch place to see and be seen every Wednesday night (Le Metro Bistro, Abacoa, 561-429-5464, lemetrobistro.net).

Enough procrastinating. Staying in shape requires sacrifice. You do a full body shake to dismiss any lingering fatigue and zip off to the front door. Before you step outside, however, you request your über-swank Barkadeer sandals by Rayna Tamarin ($59.95, pawsonpalmbeach.com). No need to mar your recent pawdicure on the coarse streets of Palm Beach ($62-$131 full groom, Royal Pet Grooming, Palm Beach, 561-833-3131).

Perhaps this sense of peacefulness also can be attributed to your recent animal communication session.

Entertaining is truly your forte. Today you’re having the girls over for an early dinner. This is the first time you’ve seen everyone since your stay at Chateau Poochie and you can’t wait to tell them all about it. You stayed in the utterly fabu Crown Jewel Premier luxury suite with its crystal chandeliers, satellite flat-screen televisions and raised bedding, and enjoyed three days of gourmet meals, tuck-ins and story times (suite rates start at $109/night, Pompano Beach, 954-561-8111, chateaupoochie.com).

The vacay was the perfect escape from the puparazzi, who seem to be hounding you (for lack of a better phrase) these days in an attempt to capture all your trendsetting canine couture on film. The other day, a photographer snapped your photo as you leapt out of your custom aubergine Emre New York leather carrier to grab a drink at the dog bar on Worth Avenue. You picked

up the must-have accessory along with a Blueblood Blueberry Key collar on your last visit to Onblonde Spa. It seemed only fitting, having just come from your monthly Blueberry Facial and Aromatherapy Massage ($500-$750, carrier, $42 collar, $10 facial, $65 massage, Onblonde Pet Spa + Boutique).

You make sure the Best Friend NYC Aromatherapy Canine Candle is lit, opting for the Uplifting scent with its notes of white grapefruit and Japanese neroli ($22, bestfriendnyc.com).

Edamame, the Japanese Chin you met while walking Lake Trail, is the first to arrive.

Your sisters Shiitake, Porcini and Bella (short for Portabella) sprint past everyone, eager to skip straight to the food, with good reason. Your personal canine chef, Shelley Nachum, has prepared all of your favorites: lamb cubes with parsley and mint, roasted salmon, beef muttloaf and sweet potato “fries” (pricing based on consultation, Short on Thyme, 561-276-8539, shortonthyme.com).

BUY LOW It’s time to take advantage of the overflow of premium bottles of wine.

By Mark Spivak

If you’re a wine lover, this is the time to buy. Oversupply on the premium end of the market has combined with a sluggish economy to create the perfect storm—wineries are loaded with more product than they can possibly sell, and discounts are greater than ever.

There have been serious discounts within the industry before, but they have rarely reached the consumer. In the wake of poor reviews for 1998 and 2000 California vintages, many distributors reduced prices by half, but retailers and restaurants took most of the profits. This time around there’s a flood of high-end wine in the “dead zone” (bottles more than $50 retail) along with consumers who know it’s their moment to get bargains. The result has been a proliferation of “wine flash sale” websites, which offer drastic reductions on quality bottles.

In the beginning, there was Cameron Hughes. This California-based broker achieved success by purchasing overstock from famous wineries and selling it under the generic labels of his Lot series. During a recent visit to his site, chwine.com, he was advertising Lot 212, a Chardonnay “from

one of the most prestigious producers in Carneros,” for $13, boasting that “this producer has incredible vineyard management and a top-of-the-line crush facility.”

Hughes says that he moves 250,000 gallons of wine per year, and it’s a great deal for the vintners—they get rid of their excess inventory without ruining their carefully constructed brand image.

For a true bargain hunter, though, buying a bottle of Lot 212 Chardonnay seems like a hollow victory. Many consumers 82

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

want to know exactly where the wine comes from, either for quality assurance or bragging rights, and increasingly the flash sale sites are obliging them.

The major sites are Wine.Woot.com, WinesTilSoldOut.com, WineShopper.com, TheWineSpies.com, Lot18.com and Cinder ellaWine.com (owned by Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV). There are differences from one site to another, but most sell a single wine each day at drastically reduced prices; the wines are major brands from

It’s a buyer’s market when shopping online for deals on wine.

California and around the world. Most of the sites are set up as retailers, and deal directly with the public on a no-frills basis.

According to a recent study by Wines & Vines magazine, discounts on these sites range from 29 to more than 50 percent.

Featured labels have included Robert Mon-

davi, Foley Wines, Cornerstone Cellars, Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards, Mumm Napa, St. Supéry, Chateau St. Jean, Kunde Family Estate, St. Francis and the Hess Collection.

This model is working well for the producers in the short term, although distributors (not to mention traditional brick-and-

mortar retailers) aren’t exactly thrilled.

There also are implications for the wineries in the long run. What happens when the economy recovers and the glut evaporates?

Once consumers become accustomed to paying $30 for a $60 bottle, how are you going to convince them that it’s again worth $60? No one seems to be worrying at the moment, but it’s not easy to visualize how some “high-end” wineries are going to put the toothpaste back in that particular tube.

As to the future of the flash sale sites, much depends on the legal status of mailorder shipping and Internet wine buying.

Given a free market, it’s safe to assume that they will survive in some form, since the current wine glut is really based on the amount of grapes being grown rather than the volume of wine being made. Until the day when growers start pulling up their vines, the flood is likely to continue. u

business casual The Office gastropub is serving up flavorful food in a hip, casual environment.

BY mark spivak

84

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

The Office is David Manero’s second restaurant on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach.

Opened in early 2010 and located one block west of his Vic & Angelo’s, it describes itself as an American gastropub and continues the current trend found in Delray and elsewhere: quality cooking served at reasonable prices in casual surroundings.

Under the direction of Chef de Cuisine Francy Deskin, the comfort food is well prepared and remarkably good.

The narrow room features a tiled floor and wooden-topped tables, enhanced by mirrors on one wall that make the space seem larger than it really is. The sparse table setting is accented by organic olive oil, balsamic vinegar and sea salt, a good omen of things to come. A long bar offers both indoor and outside seating; there are terrace tables as well, and the restaurant is open to the outdoors on most evenings. Be forewarned that The Office isn’t a venue for an intimate, romantic rendezvous. This is a busy and popular place; rock music throbs in the background, and there are lots of hard surfaces against which that music can reverberate.

Starters include variations on old standards such as truffled deviled eggs ($8),

brought to life by flecks of truffle, minced chives and a dusting of paprika. The Fancy Fried Green Tomatoes ($14) are a thing of beauty—tart and bursting with flavor, enhanced by slices of spiced shrimp, melted cheddar cheese, green onion aioli and bits of Serrano ham. Crispy tacos are available with either a tuna ($21) or lobster ($26) filling, and soft tacos ($15) are stuffed with red chili-braised pork.

Grilled burgers are the centerpiece of the menu, and they are memorable. The Prime Office Cheeseburger ($16) is tender, juicy and flavorful, garnished with shoestring fries. There’s a burger made with 26-day dry-

Offerings include the Prime Office Burger and (opposite page, top to bottom) misoglazed black cod lettuce wraps and truffled deviled eggs.

brews are offered, with almost 40 of them on tap. Glasses of Ferrari-Carano Fumé Blanc ($11) pair well with the appetizers, and the ale-battered fish matches perfectly with a glass of Bass Ale ($4.50).

Servers at The Office are exceptionally neat and well groomed. They are eager to please, offer enthusiastic recommendations on their menu favorites, and provide a note of warmth that personalizes the experience.

The bus help is alert and attentive as well, and it’s not difficult to get someone’s attention when you need it.

Desserts are as substantial and delicious as everything else on the menu. Foregoing the bananas Foster bread pudding and the caramelized apple tart, we opt for the ice cream sandwich ($10). A slab of vanilla ice cream is bracketed by thick white chocolate oatmeal cookies and served with a chocolate dipping sauce—an excellent way to conclude the meal.

Hungry for über-fresh, organic meals? Look no further than DIG in Delray Beach. Short for “Doing it Green,” DIG is a partnership between Chef Joey Giannuzzi, owner of the Green Gourmet, and Robert Greenfield, owner of the former Greenfield’s, where DIG is now housed. The pair is serving up healthy, gourmet comfort food made with locally grown produce from Farmer Jay Pure Organics, grass-fed chicken and beef, and wild seafood.

Popular dishes include the line-caught tuna “fillet mignon” (shown), which is sesameseared and served with sticky rice and a miso broth; Florida Wagyu short rib of beef with horseradish Yukon gold potatoes and wildflower honey-glazed carrots; and Chef Joey’s organic vegetable lasagna, which is full of fresh eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, red bell peppers, yams and portabella mushrooms with a San Marzano tomato sauce. There also is a variety of vegan and gluten-free dishes for those with dietary concerns.

DIG has an organic juice and smoothie bar, where guests can get healthy and satisfying “green drinks” made with fruits and vegetables. The full bar features an array of cocktails made with organic liquors and fresh ingredients, as well as 100-percent organic fountain sodas. (561-638-0500)

New Kid in Town There is a new face at Palm Beach’s Café Boulud as Executive Chef James Leiken has taken the lead in the kitchen after the departure of Chef de Cuisine Zach Bell. Leiken is not a new face to fans of Chef Daniel Boulud’s organization, however, having worked at Boulud restaurants since 2001, most recently as the executive chef of DBGB Kitchen and Bar in New York. Here, he talks to PBI about his goals for his new kitchen. (561-655-6060, danielnyc.com) PBI: What are you most looking forward to at Café Boulud?

LEIKEN: Café Boulud down here is the best of both worlds—you have a clientele that really has an appreciation for refined food made with top-quality ingredients, but also understands that sometimes food that is simple, casual and fun can be just as satisfying.

86

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Are you planning a complete redo of the Café Boulud menu, or will you stick to the seasonal format?

We are going to keep the basic format of the menu, which has worked very well both here and in New York, but I will definitely be trying to bring some of my own influence to it.

What are the differences between dishes that work in New York and the tastes down here in South Florida?

I think that you need a bit of a lighter touch in South Florida, but I think in both places there is definitely a desire for exciting, contemporary food that draws from a wide variety of inspirations. Regardless of where they are, people want to eat food that is interesting and maybe makes them look at an ingredient in a new light.

James Leiken and Daniel Boulud

How are you going to bring your own style to Café Boulud?

Every chef is the product of his influences. Zach and I have both worked for Daniel for a long time, so our food shares some commonalities, but I’m hoping that my personality will come through in some of the new things I’m planning for the menu.

What would you say is your specialty dish?

I had a matzo ball soup on the menu at DBGB in New York that definitely had a bit of a following. I think a Palm Beach version might be in the cards.

rooms v CASUAL ELEGANCE The owners of this Delray Beach home didn’t like the idea of a formal living room, and wanted instead a cozy spot for guests to congregate. The designers at P&H Interiors created a relaxed grouping of lounge chairs anchored by a sleek wood table and an eye-catching pendant fixture.

Soft blue hues on the walls, draperies and accent pillows bring in a cool, oceanside vibe while the crisp linen upholstery is both informal and tailored. The casual shag area rug was custom fabricated to ground the entire look. P&H Interiors, Coral Springs (954-341-7335, pnhinteriors.com)

The Boca Raton Museum of Art presents its sixtieth annual All-Florida Exhibition, which reinforces the museum’s commitment to Florida artists while providing professional opportunities for emerging artists. As the state’s oldest annual juried competition, the exhibition has introduced the work of thousands of Florida artists working in all media—painting, sculpture, photography, video and installations. Six hundred artists submitted more than 1,800 artworks for consideration. The juror for the exhibition is Valerie Ann Leeds, an independent scholar and expert on the work of painter Robert Henri. She has organized exhibitions, lectured and written about American art. The exhibition runs through September 11. (561-392-2500, bocamuseum.org) —Jennifer Rodino

FIFTY YEARS in education has taught us you can fill their minds and open them at the same time.

Fifty years ago, we had a vision to create a school that stressed excellence in both academics and character, all in a nurturing, caring environment. Today, as an independent, co-educational school for Grades JK- 12, we are still building upon and perfecting those founding principles. Academically, 80% of the Class of 2011 was accepted at a college rated either Most Competitive or Highly Competitive by the 2011 Barron’s Profiles of American Colleges. We take special pride in our students’ cultural diversity, strength of character, and respect for others. As a result, a true sense of community exists among our educators, parents, and students.
