FROM THE EDITORIAL DIRECTOR
Homecomings.... It might be the time of year, but when summer transitions to an Indian summer Santa Barbara vibe, I know autumn has arrived. As the leaves start to change, there comes a back-to-school mentality, a fresh sartorial start, and the annual grape crush that’s so important in our Santa Ynez Valley. With the world taking notice of our viticultural pursuits, we give a serious nod to the life and the style of this pastoral dreamscape. From our cover and fashion story to a profile on one of the best-rated wineries in the region to a lust-worthy architectural gem in its midst, the valley is on point—and we report on it all. I have been lucky enough to be friends with our cover subjects separately over the years, so when the concept of a reunion of sorts was pitched between models, photographer, and stylist (all longtime friends who have worked together in the fashion business for decades), I leapt at the chance of showcasing the iconic beauty of it all. With Santa Ynez as the backdrop, the clothes jump off the black-and-white pages with their neutral tones adding for a laid-back sophistication. Supermodel Tatjana Patitz lives locally and religiously rides these trails while the legendary John Pearson (considered the world’s first male supermodel) visits Santa Barbara on a regular basis. Both have heard the siren call of our surroundings, and as evidenced in the accompanying story (“The Reunion,” page 120), both know you can come home again (figuratively in this case) and create magic among friends. Speaking of home, the Cliff May architectural abode—“The Weekenders” (page 134)—of Jules Allen and Richard Goldstein is a true treasure set in the rolling hills. Carefully restored and decorated with vintage and new, the home is where the couple has made a point of highlighting emerging artists and working with the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara to cultivate their collection. The mix of indoor/outdoor living blends seamlessly into the surroundings. And when you are surrounded by wineries as respected as the new (but old-vine) Mail Road Wines (“Divine Vines,” page 158), it’s not a bad neighbor to have. The story of this estate is fascinating, going back to the 1980s when an order of Carmelite nuns came to the area with hopes of creating a bucolic monastery but ran out of money along the way. The property was planted with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the 1990s, and recently food entrepreneur Michael Palmer and winemaker Matt Dees had the opportunity to take these old clones and run with them. The resulting vintages have received very high ratings from the most esteemed in the wine world. Thinking globally is sometimes not at the forefront of our thoughts when you live in a paradise such as Santa Barbara; oftentimes we can be accused of living in a bubble! But it was once home to a very internationalminded think tank. Housed in a historic mansion from 1915, Solana, perched atop the hills of Montecito, the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (“A Meeting of the Minds,” page 146) saw its fair share of political movers and shakers pass through its doors—from JFK to Martin Luther King Jr. to Aldous Huxley and Paul Newman, along with a whole host of other world leaders. Much was accomplished within its walls and we take a look back at the legends and lore. Legends and lore come in many different forms, even contemporary ones. The music of the 1980s and ’90s is having quite the revival in cinema and pop culture these days, and there couldn’t be a more iconic band that touches these decades than Depeche Mode. Musician Martin Gore, who is the scribe behind most of this British electronic group’s hits, has been living life under the radar for many years in our coastal enclave. We talk with him about their upcoming Santa Barbara Bowl concert, longevity in the industry, keeping current, and keeping sane in “10 ?s with Depeche Mode’s Martin Gore” (page 152). Which brings me back to the concept of homecomings, and that by returning to our roots with reunions and remembrances, we find who we truly are.

“This was a very special shoot for me, bringing together Tatjana Patitz and John Pearson—two iconic models I have known since the beginning of my career. I was especially excited to capture their reunion at my friend’s ranch in Santa Ynez. I love spending time in Santa Barbara horse country,” says the Los Angeles-based photographer who shot “The Reunion” (page 120). “Tatjana and I both share an equestrian background; John, not so much. But I think he made a new friend with Bret, a very spirited police horse. Special thanks to Alison Edmond for making this story happen.” S.B. MUST DOs The local spiny lobster at Santa Barbara Shellfish Company. • Check out boards at Trim, a neighborhood surf shop. • Truffles from Chocolate Maya.
Alison Edmond
“Even though it was an exhausting 12-hour day in humid 90-degree temperatures, this shoot felt like a fun family get-together,” says the fashion director of our sister publication, C, who produced and styled “The Reunion” (page 120). “Eric Gabriel, Tatjana Patitz, John Pearson (my husband), and I have all known and worked with each other for almost 30 years, so it was a celebration of our lasting friendships and a complete pleasure to be working in such a magical location.” S.B. MUST DOs The Ojai Valley Inn & Spa to escape.• The San Marcos Pass and Lake Cachuma are stunning. • Loquita for amazing tapas.

“Working with Calgary Avansino is inspiring—she’s always warm, stylish, and welcoming,” says the Ojai-based photographer who shot the British Vogue contributor for “Editor’s Eye” (page 67) and Loveworn for “Retro Revival” (page 74). S.B. MUST DOs Bonnie Lu’s for biscuits and gravy. • Riding the Ojai bike trails with my boys. • Sespe Pizza.
Katherine Stewart
“It was a treat to visit a corner of the valley that seems so sealed off from the outside world. I understand why the nuns thought they could find solitude there,” says the part-time Montecitobased writer who told the story behind Mail Road Wines for “Divine Vines” (page 158). “I’ve never thought of myself as a Pinot person, but a sip of Mail Road’s estate vintage out in the field where it was grown has made me a true believer.” S.B. MUST DOs The Sky Garden at MOXI. • The McMenemy Overlook Trail—3.7 miles of heaven. • Percussionfest at the Music Academy of the West—beautiful music made from drums, marimbas, and a shopping cart of hardware supplies.
Christy Gutzeit
“The Lotusland gala was an absolute dream to photograph. The combination of Valentino among the backdrop of the gardens is something I’ll never forget,” says the photographer who snapped shots of a few summer soirees for our RSVP section (page 167). As for Santa Barbara Magazine’s Argentine asado at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club: “I loved seeing the mix of artists, designers, and business owners that make Santa Barbara so special celebrating together.” S.B. MUST DOs Eddie Ellner’s class at Yoga Soup. • Coffee at Breakfast Culture Club. • Weekend getaways to Hollister Ranch.

From September 17 through December 31, the SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF ART , 805-9634364, sbma.net, presents “Valeska Soares: Any Moment Now”—a major midcareer survey of the contemporary Brazilian artist whose work embraces the 1960s Neo-Concrete movement, which opposed the rationalist extremes of Concretism by making art imbued with a human presence. The exhibition includes 49 of Soares’s most iconic artworks, including installation, sculpture, photography, and video, plus a panel discussion with Soares and cocurators Julie Joyce and Vanessa Davidson on September 17. Also, kids will love Push Pull, a gigantic taffy pull performance (with free tastes) on September 17, and Sensory Studio, a collection of pop-up talks and playful activations involving taste, touch, sight, and scent on October 22. “Sacred Art in the Age of Contact” is on display at the SANTA BARBARA HISTORICAL MUSEUM , 805-966-1601, sbhistorical.org, from September 15 through January 14, as well as UC Santa Barbara’s ART, DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE MUSEUM , 805-893-2951, museum.ucsb.edu, from September 16 through December 8. The exhibit focuses on the relationship between art and religion in Chumash and Spanish traditions in the early Mission period. More than 100 objects from local collections are being shared between the two venues, highlighting themes of devotion, sacred space, language, and materiality.

Happy TRAILS
When wine tasting meets horseback riding in the Santa Ynez Valley, it’s bound to be beautiful. VINO VAQUEROS owner Jaye Ganibi calls her private ranch and Estelle Vineyards a “boutique barn” among rolling hills, and its family feel gives guests a relaxed, nonrushed experience. “There is no closing time and riders are welcome to stay after the ride as long as they like,” says Ganibi. “My focus is customer service as well as quality of the horses and guides. By the end of the ride, hugs are generally given upon departure.” Ranch rides (from $115) are open to all levels and kids are welcome; catered lunches and wine are available. 2178 Mora Ave., Santa Ynez, 805-944-0493.

Mobile Jam Session Hit Refresh What’s Now
Wouldn’t it be nice to record whenever, wherever? At a private estate or in the middle of the desert? That was the thought process behind Joe Costner, who recently debuted his mobile studio SPARTAN RECORDING . Built out of a 1951 Spartan Royal Manor trailer, the vehicle can withstand weather and long journeys when not stored in its home base of Carpinteria. Costner, 28, started his career at Hollywood’s Sunset Sound—an old-school institution where he learned the industry and how he wanted to work. “They still operate like they’re in the ’70s,” he says. “I learned proper technique, etiquette, and how to be a bad-ass engineer.” Now, with the help of consultant Matt Forgey, Costner steers his roving studio from L.A. to San Francisco, helping fellow musicians get their start. “The facility is meant for young, budding bands trying to get some traction,” says Costner, who, come fall, is also teaching a workshop on Protools and studio recording at Erland Wanberg’s Musicology at the Music Academy of the West. “I have so much respect for artists, as I am one myself.” J .

GOOD to GO
Come fall, we tend to do a giant reorganization of our schedules, closets, kitchens, and overall lifestyles to find more room for health and happiness. Here are two local bloggers who can give a little push in the right direction. Emma Malina left a high-powered life in Manhattan— complete with cameos on HGTV’s Selling New York—to slow down in Santa Barbara. Her new blog and company, BASKING IN GOODNESS , reflects a lifestyle of finding balance, be it tips on food prep, better sleep, or strolling the farmers market. While she offers one-on-one coaching and diet tips, she says, “It really isn’t just about the food—but that does seem to be an easy access point for people…there’s usually a lot more going on and I help people uncover that.” For a daily dose of goodness, her Instagrams and blogs are snapshots of what she calls a “recalibration of life.” One of the burgeoning “It” food blogs is coming straight out of Mission Canyon. Photographer/baker/recipe maker Becky Sue Wilberding is the brain behind BAKING THE GOODS , a site that’s like an urban slice of Martha Stewart with sass and skills—from Know Yo’ Dough tutorials to foodie travel guides. Upon moving here from Oregon, Wilberding set her heart on mastering bread baking and

headed straight to Bob’s Well Bread Bakery in Los Alamos. “I just kept bothering Bob until he gave me a job!” she says. The experience helped launch the blog and dozens of media collaborations. Her feed is filled with step-by-step stunners like her picture-perfect apple-cheddar pie, but the secret she says is “being OK with things not being perfect.” J . B . K .

While coworking spaces such as Sandbox and Impact Hub are encouraging the growth of small and young businesses, Smith seeks to further shape our city as a place to grow and raise a family, not just retire to, stating, “We need to turn the tide.” This could be a defining moment for greater Santa Barbara. It’s already home to successful breakthrough tech start-ups such as Lynda.com and Sonos and established eco-conscious brands Patagonia and Toad&Co. Emerging companies like Salty Girl and Apeel are following their footsteps in food sourcing, while students are making waves each year with environmental innovation. “We have a long lineage of taking care of the planet and sustainability,” says Smith. “We should be protecting that for the future.” J .

Parental Control PARENTSQUARE , the app that so many moms and
dads in our community use to track their student’s school life, was founded here in 2011 by computer engineer and former Citrix employee Anupama Vaid when her kids were two years apart at Peabody Charter School. In a paper-conscience world where e-mails get lost, she wanted a way to stay connected to everything from events to fund-raising to homework. The software is sold to school districts to help with everyday communication, but in the end “it’s a product for parents,” Vaid says. “Parent engagement” is the industry buzzword—and a proven way to improve students’ success. With ParentSquare, Vaid hopes to boost parent engagement and measure it. For the first three S A N TA B A R B A R A
years, the program was in pilot phase, slowly spreading throughout Santa Barbara. Now it’s in 33 states and 900 schools, keeping parents one step ahead. When there’s an upcoming art project, meeting, or carnival, parents are notified and can immediately put it in their calendars and sign up if donations or volunteers are needed. Even better, parents get updates and uploaded photos from day-of events, including assemblies, field trips, and classroom highlights. That means before kids even have a chance to share (and we know sometimes they don’t always), parents can bring up the pop quiz, or that justannounced play at the dinner table—beating their kids to it. Says Vaid: “I love going home and talking to the kids and they say, ‘Mom, you know about this!?’” J . B . K . PA RE N TS Q U A RE .C O M

In an effort to retain brilliant grads coming out of our top schools and help start-ups succeed, serial entrepreneur Michael Smith founded IMPACT INVESTMENT FUND . Knowing that making the leap from an idea to a business isn’t easy, Smith hopes to bridge the gap with this fund and spotlight the next generation of meaningful innovation through “impact investment,” which he calls, “a new way of looking at philanthropy.” The venture—in alliance with Smith’s family company Ponvalley with wife, Nati Smith; sister, Jennifer Hale (publisher of Santa Barbara Magazine); and mother, Anne Towbes—is committing $1 million during the next five years, with funds administered by Kiah Jordan of Impact First Financial. The overarching goal is to make Santa Barbara—from Goleta to Carpinteria—a place where young entrepreneurs in industries from food and water to education and software can thrive. Since many local grads and concepts are getting snatched up by Silicon Valley, Smith hopes to make our Silicon Paradise a place where starting out is possible. “It’s hard to launch a business here,” he says. “Most kids don’t have the money or resources.” By targeting key programs such as UC Santa Barbara’s Bren School and Technology Management Program and Santa Barbara City College’s Scheinfeld Center, the fund will help students gain access to capital, affordable housing, and mentors to turn their

GIVING BACK
Petting Zoo
While traveling through Thailand in 2001 and witnessing baby elephants being exploited for money on the streets of Bangkok, something struck the core of animal lover Kristina McKean. The sight started a passion for activism, and she began to sign petitions, protest circuses, and create social media campaigns in hopes of spreading awareness on elephant abuse. Now, the Montecito-based mother of two has set out to make direct contributions toward the cause in a very cute way. Kiki—whose name means “new life”—is a fuzzy, gray, eight-inch-tall elephant who is as much a symbol as she is a stuffed animal. McKean launched THE ELEPHANT PROJECT to inspire young girls and parents alike to make an impact on saving the elephants “one stuffed animal at a time.” Proceeds from each sale ($39) go directly to fund agencies including Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Africa ASAP, and the Elephant Sanctuary, helping end the poaching crisis. “I really wanted to teach my girls—and all children for that matter—that actually one person can make a difference and that we need to be the voice for the voiceless,” says McKean. With a background in product design for the tween market at Gap Inc., McKean created Kiki as the debut animal of a whole endangered species line, which will eventually include a stuffed lion, gorilla, and giraffe. “Kiki is the first of my collection and I’m hoping to add a new elephant that looks similar but has a different outfit and name,” she says, with plans to have the second one out by Christmas. “The elephants can be ‘adopted’ and proceeds go toward sanctuaries and organizations that help end the crisis and also care for the elephants that have been abused, abandoned, or injured.” J .

In a relaxed environment, guests are able to interact with felines from different local animal shelters. The cats are all up for adoption and can be taken home on the spot. Owner Catalina Esteves wanted to offer a unique experience to guests that also made adoption more accessible. “I’ve always felt a connection toward animals,” says Esteves, “and helping them get healthy and find a forever home meant the world to me.” The cafe offers coffee drinks such as the Cattuccino plus smoothies, juices, and açai bowls. 1213 State St., Ste.

Change is always good for the soul. We spent the last 16 years in glorious London and enjoyed every minute of it, but I wanted my children to grow up with strong bonds to their cousins, and we all wanted easy access to nature and to be surrounded by like-minded people who prioritize real food, fresh air, and a good sweat. There’s no doubt the West Coast in the best coast, and California is the sweet spot. WHAT YOU WILL BE WEARING THIS FALL IN CALIFORNIA VERSUS HOW YOU WOULD BE DRESSING IN LONDON?
Well, let’s be honest, it’s a hell of a lot warmer here and a lot more casual, but I’ll be wearing what I always wear—bright colors, crazy print combos, maxi skirts, a touch of neon, size 14 kids’ T-shirts, dresses, dresses, and more dresses, scarves, hats, and shoes that make me smile.

Celebrity stylist and Santa Barbaran SIENA MONTESANO strides confidently amid some hefty footsteps in the fashion world. Her father, Gene Montesano (cofounder of Lucky Brand Jeans), is a legend in the retail business, but that’s never deterred or intimidated Siena’s own sartorial direction. She studied fashion design at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco while interning in public relations at Alexander Wang and Rebecca Minkoff. Her big break into the industry came when she started assisting fellow Wall Group artist Karla Welch. Siena gained experience with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, music, and fashion such as Lorde, Karlie Kloss, Justin Bieber, and Olivia Wilde. Now on her own, Siena is making her mark on the red carpets with her most noteworthy clients, Alex Pall and Drew Taggart of the DJ/producing duo The Chainsmokers. “Santa Barbara has a laid-back and luxurious reputation,” she says. “I think that has influenced my approach to styling—you don’t have to try so hard. Less is more!” G . T .

Très Tricot Stylist and vintage collector Natalie Joos’s latest venture just got personal. As a go-to red carpet industry Instagrammer @jxxsy and fashion blogger talesofendearment.com, the Belgian-born Joos takes her namesake and her need for feminine, fitted knitwear seriously. JOOSTRICOT is a contemporary, 1970s-inspired T-shirt, turtleneck, and crewneck line that fits likes a glove, and you need to know about it. G . T . J O O ST R IC O T. C O M TAKING MATTERS IN HER OWN HANDS “Every year, I suffer the same predicament: where to find a slim-fitting turtleneck that smoothly tucks into my jeans and highwaisted skirts; hugs my body in all the right places; and makes me feel sexy, sophisticated, and comfortable. I have been searching for a fitted, scarlet red crewneck sweater for 40 years and never, ever found one! Needless to say, I am exhausted. So I ended the torment by making my own.” SEASON LESS IS MORE Joos believes in “Buy now, wear now” and the idea that her knitwear is not closeted to the season. The first collection premieres with three sweater styles in multiple solid silk and cotton colors, glimmering Italian Lurex, and a few multicolored patterns. S.B.

Retro REVIVAL
WHO Designer Jill Johnson and artist Wallace Piatt, former partners of the
iconic State Street store True Grit, reunite for a vintage and custom denim den on Anacapa Street in the Funk Zone.
“I really wanted a store that has a creative soul,” says Johnson. “I knew there had to be a backlash to the corporate homogenization of State Street. I know people are craving a real experience and clothing made with intention and love.”
WHAT Loveworn—think Americana, beachy, ‘70s road-trip vibe. THEY’RE BAAAACK… “I found the location by the beach and jumped on it,” says Johnson, who had taken a hiatus from Santa Barbara and recently moved back. “I called Wallace, who offered to take a month off from his art career to help me out.” The coconspirators in creativity immediately started the build-out, designing clothes, and buying. “We work like magic together. We’ve always loved creating an atmosphere we would love to hang out in and a space we love to work in. We’ve always been such good partners.” RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME “I knew the timing was right because I
was seeing vintage denim again everywhere! The popular aesthetic right now seems to be so close to what we did with True Grit in the ‘90s. Our style now is different of course, but very true to us, and the mix that is Wallace and me. He’s rougher, and I add a little more femininity without too much fluff.”
BLUE JEAN BABY Head to the back of the loft and dabble in the Denim Body Shop where Johnson does repairs, alterations, and customization to all kinds of denim, including racks full of artisan and salvaged Levis.

Ask anyone in Santa Barbara about Zumba and they’ll simply say, “Josette.” Professional dancer, speaker, advocate, and motivator JOSETTE TKACIK is the bubbly brunette who jumps on stage six days a week, leading nearly 300 people in what’s considered within the industry to be the largest-attended Zumba class in the world. Her fans—ranging in age from single digits to nearly triple—dance to Latin beats, and when she stops the music, they listen for quick doses of inspiration. For Tkacik, who is currently creating a course for DailyOM, Zumba its more than exercise. In 2011, she was diagnosed with advanced rheumatoid arthritis and was soon bound to a walker with doctors telling her she’d never dance again. But when a request came directly from the City of Santa Barbara to create this program, she accepted and taught her first class for three students, not moving from the same spot on stage. She then decided to ditch stress and prescriptions for a raw vegan diet and her passion for moving, which all quickly put her into remission—without a single drug. Her energy and joy are contagious, and she ends each class ($67/12 classes) with gratitude. Put simply, she says: “True fitness starts within.” J . B . K .

On the Ranch
Snug between ancient oaks and citrus groves on the picturesque Hollister Ranch, this main house and barn recently got a loving lift from interior designer JULIA MORA . Working with Ferguson Ettinger Architects, Mora ensured the spaces would be casual, durable, and “not too precious” for the homeowners. Natural woods frame the windows and beams, while slate floors run straight out to the patio, creating a seamless transition to the outdoors. “Naturally, I wanted to bring the outside in and use the exterior to enhance the interior,” says Mora. “My color palette on this project was inspired by looking out the window—green and brown with a touch of gray and blue to remind you and lend the sensation that you are near the ocean.” A “sophisticated beachy” palette of indigo, flax, and sand continues from the serene bedroom to sitting room to the deck, which overlooks the orange, lemon, and avocado trees on one hand and the water on the other. Mora used lots of vintage pieces for warmth and character along with custom reclaimed-oak furniture, keeping every room simple, so as not to compete with the views. 805-

Meet Michelle Beamer. After design stints at Allen Construction and Restoration Hardware, she’s relaunched her own interior design company, MB INTERIORS . Her work spans regions—from Hawaii to London to Washington, D.C.—and styles from midcentury modern to California coastal. This Montecito residence focuses on what she calls Brutalism—vignettes and design full of raw concrete (“raw” in French is brut) and dimensional elements that are carefully edited and balanced. “Think 1970s—some of it’s nice, some is awful,” she says. To steer her client’s wish list for “tough” materials, Beamer filled this home with texture and gave the owners directional advice to shop for equally sculptural pieces—from art books to tabletop accessories—giving them confidence to keep the aesthetic going on their own. To balance the home and give it comfort—the exact opposite of tough—she sourced fabrics like soft linen, silk, cotton, cashmere, and Mongolian sheep hair. Her range makes her poised to take on another title this fall—adjunct professor of interior design at Santa Barbara City College, giving students a foundation to communicate their own independent visions. “I don’t want my design to be derivative of anything,” she says. “The only way to do something truly original is to collaborate and create a concept based on input from clients and overlay that with design experience and perspective.” 805-451-3936.

Plan to view six sites that each showcase strengths in urban design, sustainability, and historic renovation. Viewers get a sneak behind-the-scenes peek at each of the properties, which range from a container house to a hillside Toro Canyon residence to a Greek-inspired abode complete with a water-conserving Mediterranean garden.

Known for her signature bright, delightful photographs and recipes that walk you step-by-step through her creations, Cyd features more than 50 comfort-inducing dishes that will make you want to curl up on the couch in front of the fire. Organized into categories of warm, spiced, smooth, calm, and bright, recipes include how to set up a spicy smashed potato bar to Earl Grey pots de crème.

Since diving into the world of wine at 18, Drew Cuddy has wanted to show that “a very high-end wine experience can be found at a not-so-high-end price when you look with an educated palate.” With this in mind, he recently opened SATELLITE —a new cafe/wine bar/shop located inside Impact Hub on State Street. Chef Emma West’s menus of cheese, crudités, and light snacks rotate with Cuddy’s selection of lesser-known local and international vintages, and local winemakers will be showcased at the Monday night flights. “I love winemakers who take a careful approach to not paint over the quality of the fruit and land we have here,” says Cuddy. Other bites— such as calzones, polenta, and savory tarts—hail from nearby Flagstone Pantry. As a young adult, Cuddy spent summers living in Italy, working for his father’s wine-importing business. He found himself back in Santa Barbara last year and is currently finishing a diploma with the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. “In Santa
Barbara, there is no home for wine education for the professional or the enthusiast,” says Cuddy. “Up until now, people in the industry—or in love with the industry—have either had to travel to Los Angeles for courses or wait for irregular courses offered semi-annually in Los Olivos.” Cuddy aims to educate both fellow oenophiles and beginners alike through Satellite’s regular wine course program. Aside from wine, Cuddy is also a “space fanatic,” which is partly how Satellite got its name and its ambience of adventure and exploration. “We also feel like a satellite of Impact Hub and a bit of a satellite location for our food.” 1117 State St., Santa

Of all the repurposed spaces in Santa Barbara’s Funk Zone, the skyscraping former grain silo housing SILO 118 is the easiest to spot. The gallery—curated by Bonnie Rubenstein—features emerging and established contemporary artists. “My plans are to show interesting and provocative art,” says Rubenstein, a Washington, D.C., transplant who moved to Santa Barbara in 2016. Rubenstein’s fall lineup includes two exhibitions. The first, entitled “BODY,” takes place in September and October and features artists working with the human form, including JoAnn Belson, Patricia Houghton Clark, Steven DePinto, Max Gleason, Jay Peterzell, and Patricia Post. The second show focuses on the work of artist Matt Sesow, a Nebraska native who lost his left hand as a young child after being struck by an airplane propeller. Entirely self-taught, Sesow views his paintings as a hopeful, joyous response to his traumatic past. He has exhibited throughout the United States and Europe and is the subject of the documentary Join Hands by Leslye Abbey. Sesow’s exhibition from November 10 through January 12 is displaying work resulting from the artist’s three-week residency at Santa Barbara’s Squire Foundation. 118 Gray Ave., Santa Barbara, 301-379-4669.

Compared to the rest of us, INGRID BOULTING has already led several extraordinary lives: as a dancer (London’s Royal Ballet School), model (photographed by famed lensmen Norman Parkinson, Richard Avedon, David Bailey), “It” girl (she was the face of Biba cosmetics), and big-screen movie actress (she starred with Robert De Niro in The Last Tycoon, among others). At various times, she’s called London, New York, Paris, Rome, Los Angeles, and the south of France her “home.” Now based in serene, bucolic Ojai (which reminds her of her native South Africa), Boulting focuses on oil painting, primarily still lifes featuring objects she collects from antique stores. (She’s part of the Ojai Studio Artists Tour October 14 through 16.) Of course, there’s more: Boulting also helms Sacred Space Studio where she teaches yoga, and she has a serious soft spot for rescue animals. Her personal achievement mantra provides a key to her remarkable life’s journey: “practice, patience, perseverance, and repetition to master anything.” L . D . P .

ANGELA PERKO ’s modernist paintings are so saturated with
color they seem to vibrate. Eschewing half-tones and feeble pastels, Perko aims straight for the retina with rich, exuberant pigments that demand our attention. Her compelling ability with color belies the fact she first began painting at age 40. Largely self-taught, Perko acknowledges a variety of artistic influences, including the Canadian Group of Seven landscape painters; but as co-owner of Lost Horizon Bookstore (with husband Jerry Jacobs), she often turns to literature for creative inspiration as well. Her artistic practice is instinctive: “In all cases, especially the best pieces, I never feel like I painted them. I always feel like I’m only the medium. It’s up to me to listen and follow. That’s how I paint.” This fall marks Perko’s eighth solo show with Sullivan Goss—An American Gallery, 805-730-1460, sullivangoss.com, from October 5 through December 3—a not-to-be-missed opportunity to appreciate the artist’s talent up close.

“I’ve had this interest in the dichotomy of inside and outside from the beginning,” says master ceramicist CHRISTOPHER BATES , “the metaphor of using the clay vessel to talk about that is what I like to do.” It’s a philosophical approach to creation that Bates undoubtedly shares with his students as a professor at Santa Barbara City College, where he presides over the beginning to advanced ceramics courses. (His teaching career spans nearly 30 years.) There’s a sculptural quality to Bates’s work; one senses monumentality even in his smaller pieces, an element apart from mere utilitarian purpose. “I would like a viewer to be caught in discovery of dwelling inside, similar to my experience while making,” he says. Based in Ojai, Bates has exhibited his work throughout the United States, including California, Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ohio. L . D . P .

Drawing from his real-life teaching experiences, Santa Barbara-based Gary Delanoeye “makes the lives of incarcerated young adults visible to those of us on the other side of the fence” in LETTERS FROM THE OUTS (from $4.99, Summerland Publishing, Chaucer’s Bookstore, 805-682-6787, chaucersbooks.com).

Santa Barbara’s Central Library is approaching its 100th anniversary, and to celebrate, Friends of the Santa Barbara Public Library has published LIBRARY BOOK: WRITERS ON LIBRARIES ($18.50, Tecolote Book Shop, 805-969-4977), an anthology from more than 80 popular local writers—including Ray Bradbury, Fannie Flagg, Sue Grafton, D.J. Palladino, Pico Iyer—about their bibliophilia.
Ross Macdonald’s Lew Archer crime novels have been lauded for decades. Now, Library of America has published ROSS MACDONALD: FOUR LATER NOVELS ($40, Tecolote Book Shop, 805-969-4977), a final volume that gathers the late author’s best work: Black Money, The Instant Enemy, The Goodbye Look, and The Underground Man. Through the eyes of private eye Lew Archer, Macdonald creates a shadowy vision of modern America, using turmoil of his own life (he lived here for some 30 years) and the inequities, cruelties, and anxieties of the 1960s and ’70s. Lori Robinson’s WILD LIVES ($21.99, Skyhorse Publishing, Chaucer’s Bookstore, 805-682-6787, chaucersbooks.com) is a timely reminder that it is our obligation to help preserve our planet. In this book, 20 conservationists—including National Geographic filmmakers and big cat experts Beverly and Dereck Joubert, wildlife photographer Paul Hilton, and gorilla activist Dominique Bikaba—share their own stories through exclusive interviews.

Starting with the purchase of 590 acres in the late 1980s, it finally took a team of biologists, engineers, geologists, architects, engineers, hoteliers, and other experts about six years to envision and execute a forward-thinking development along Mexico’s Riviera Maya. The result is MAYAKOBA , an eco-conscious luxury resort on the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico’s Caribbean coast. What sets this property apart from others, however, is that rather than being built up right along the coastline, the natural landscape of lagoons, jungles, mangroves, cenotes (sinkholes), beaches, dunes, and reefs were intentionally retained, preserved, and brilliantly incorporated into the design, bringing the vibrant flora and fauna into the immediate experience of staying there. A six-mile-long canal system connects the Fairmont, Rosewood, Banyan Tree, and Andaz Mayakoba resorts. Guests can travel in electric lancha boats among crocodiles, monkeys, turtles, and more than 200 species of birds to the four properties’ beach clubs, spas, restaurants, and the famed El Cameleón golf course. Or on land, you can pedal around lush nature paths to El Pueblito—the village in the heart of Mayakoba. G I N A Z . T E R L I N D E N

Founder of Joie de Vivre Hotels and lead ownership partner at San Francisco’s THE LAUREL INN , Chip Conley’s background as former head of global hospitality and strategy for Airbnb is evident in the comfortable combination of the amenities of an apartment (private kitchenettes and self parking) and the services of a top hotel with sweeping city views. The property’s 1950s facade serves as inspiration for the midcentury modern interiors, which feature the work of exclusively local Bay Area artists. The urban residential sensibility is amplified by touches such as playfully designed board games and warm cookies in the living room-like lobby. Cruiser bikes on loan allow the opportunity to explore the Presidio Heights neighborhood and its proximity to Golden Gate Park, the De Young Museum, and Fillmore Street—home to Michelin-starred restaurants SPQR, State Bird Provisions, and The Progress—while the nearby Sacramento Street design corridor is home to beautifully built spaces such as March, Hudson Grace, The Future Perfect, Serena & Lily, Sue Fisher King, and more. Rates: From $229.

Santa Ynez Staycation
For more than 70 years, the ALISAL GUEST RANCH & RESORT has been a beloved country getaway for countless Hollywood’s Golden-era celebrities, multigenerational families from all over the United States, even brides and grooms. Adding to its vibrant history, the 1,500-acre property is now formally accredited by the Dude Ranchers’ Association, which honors the core principles of “horses, hats, hospitality, heritage, honesty, and heart.” The Alisal’s main draw is horseback riding—50 miles of trails that wind through hills dotted with sycamores, moss-covered oaks, and 1,500plus head of cattle. But other highlights include rodeos, feeding time at the petting farm, tennis, golf, archery, and fishing in the lake. Harkening to a bygone era, none of the recently renovated studios and suites have telephones or televisions, and for the lingering dinners, men must wear jackets. But the slower pace is a welcome antidote to today’s busy life.
Rates: From $550/night, including breakfast and dinner. 805-688-6411. G . Z . T . ALI S AL. C OM

Another sun-kissed California morning, the TV weather folks announcing today’s escalating temperatures, a slight tone of apology in the air…. Our close-knit squad of creatives gathers at a horse ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley, about 30 minutes northeast of Santa Barbara. This locale marries the dusty raw with the enchanting. As ever, various crew vehicles arrive, a touch of quiet relief in having found the place, and now there’s a buzz of hellos and hugs, and mostly a search for coffee, though chai tea has become quite the contender. I’ve been on literally thousands of these shoots all around our world and the format is pretty consistent: We meet, we greet, we feel the enthusiasm of a new day, the potential for taking all these ingredients and creating a little magic with our band of fashionable gypsies. However, this day is a little more special for me, I feel inclined to say. For my wife, Alison Edmond—fashion director at C magazine, sister publication to Santa Barbara Magazine—is our stylist, producer, and all-round creative whirlwind for the next 12 hours. My fictional love interest for the day is the inimitable and strikingly beautiful Tatjana Patitz. Our lensman is Eric Gabriel, who, along with building a brilliant career as a hairdresser, has always been an avid and most

skilled photographer. This is a celebration of his and my wife’s vision for these pages, and of four people who have known each other for longer than is polite to say. This is a reunion. Tatjana and I have worked together many times over the years, beginning at a stately home in Southern England at the very tail end of the 1980s. Since then, our paths have crossed numerous times. We’ve been blessed to work with the greatest of talents in the business. Some label us as supermodels, as we were founding members of that original tribe. We were present for George Michael’s “Freedom 90,” for Steven Meisel, for Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber and Peter Lindbergh, for Vogue and Vanity Fair, for Versace and Valentino, and many more. Today, we dance in Tatjana’s habitat. Not only has she made this landscape her home, but we are here sharing her love of horses—great animals that have absorbed her passion for as long as I can remember. Strong, elegant, fierce, subtle, sensitive, and playful…it’s interesting to muse on those characteristics and how, to my mind, they are as much the making of her as the fine animals that she loves. Eric too, is a lifelong man of the saddle, and much of his photographic work has evolved from
a deep respect of what is wild and natural. Alas, for all my dreams of being a cowboy, I have only played that role twice, and thus I’m watching my partners diligently, searching for clues and, in all honesty, managing my fears. But it must be told, I fell in love with another this day—Bret, a veteran of 12 years with the San Diego Police Department at 17.1 hands. At first, his stature and presence was imposing—a beast so beautiful, intelligent, and proud. How to manage, to tame, and to befriend? It came easier than I thought. I was instructed by our generous host Nina Hallworth to just chill, to relax, and thus I did. Sensing this very soon after, Bret’s head came down, his ears stood up, and he nuzzled and leaned into me, and all was peace. We were still. It was a moment, a memento to treasure, an affirmation of trust, which is what it all really comes down to. The day was long but only in that way that is rare and beautiful. Our team engaged with spirit and humor, with patience and a hope of capturing something to remember. And I like to think we did. And thus our reunion is here for you to see, a celebration of life, friendship, landscape, and love. I hope you enjoy! J O H N P E A R S O N

When Jules Allen and Richard Goldstein moved to Santa Barbara from Los Angeles 12 years ago, they knew right away they needed to find their new Palm Springs. The desert hideaway had been their weekend mainstay for sunshine and midcentury architecture, and the couple was eager to find their next retreat. After long searches between Ojai and wine country, these self-described “non-horse people” found their haven in the Santa Ynez Valley within a 1968 Cliff May stunner that screamed “weekend.”
“It’s the perfect house in the middle of nowhere,” says Allen. The 5,000-square-foot abode is perched above rolling hills and old oak trees, giving them privacy and 360-degree scenic views from their deck. Inside, the home had gone through a couple different renovations, including one by architect Barry Berkus who left the kitchen in such good shape the couple didn’t have to touch it. In places, the home retained original details such as the fireplace and the grape stake ceilings—a signature of the architect,

known as the father of the California ranch home. Every decision the couple made moving forward played off what fit with the architecture. For instance, when bringing in a modern sound system to amp up music for parties, everything current looked stark against the white walls and grape stakes until Goldstein found a solution by covering the speakers inside white salad bowls from Macy’s, which blend into the iconic ceiling. “We tried to keep the essence—the best of Cliff May—and make it modern without taking away any Cliff May,” says Allen. Since both of them are creatives—she’s a clothing designer and cofounder of Tribute Project, which makes custom lyrical jackets, and he’s a film producer—they sourced every finish and fixture themselves, with Goldstein taking the architect’s seat. The goal was to build off anything original and improve what wasn’t, such as

bulky cabinetry, bad tile, and carpets—with flooring being the biggest headache and hurdle. “When we bought the house, there were these tile floors that were covering original Saltillo tiles that were used when the house was built. There was no way to restore those original floors, so we found this wideplanked, raw, white-oak wood flooring and went for that throughout the entire house. We think that they turned out amazing and hopefully, Cliff May would appreciate them!” Goldstein says. The master bathroom was streamlined with shelving that gives the illusion of being integrated,
however several former built-ins in the main areas were removed to make way for a gallery space. As members of the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, they have a strong private collection and recently helped kick off MCA’s new Architecture & Design Council—an exclusive membership that features forward-thinking artist lectures and private dinners—everything the couple loves. Freddy Janka, MCA’s director of development, worked alongside Allen to plan a behind-the-scenes architecture tour and reception at their home, and a small group gathered for dinner poolside.

The cool cross breeze mixed with the eclectic decor creates a transporting quality that Allen says keeps her guests dancing until the wee hours. To really give the home a vacation feel, the couple refurbished the entire backyard, knowing this would be the place maxed out by late-night dancers, weekend guests, and their kids. They reinforced the shape of the pool and extended the back deck using dark ipe wood as a contrast against all the white. They added thoughtful dryscape and more grape stake beams overhead to create that seamless interior/exterior feel that Cliff May would also approve of. “Since the whole house has that indoor/outdoor feel and the views are so incredible, we thought that the pool should lend a resort vibe,” says Goldstein. “We just wanted the whole house to feel like a place you’d want to come and hang out at and never feel like leaving. Like any great resort.” ●

148 A MEETING OF THE MINDS
The situation was dire: “Everywhere questions are being raised about the possibility of maintaining faith in democracy and making it effective in an industrialized, scientific, bureaucratic, polarized world.… No present social, economic, political theory, no current theory of international relations, enables us to understand the world we are living in. Our situation has changed too fast for our ideas.” No, that was not in 2017. The year was 1959, and the statement heralded the establishment, in Santa Barbara, of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, whose aim was to clarify the issues of a free society and debate them. At the head of the group was Robert Maynard Hutchins, the brilliant, charismatic, controversial educator who had been dean of the Yale Law School at 28 and president and chancellor of the University of Chicago from 1929 to 1951. Most recently, he was president of the Ford Foundation’s Fund for the Republic, which had been founded in the early 1950s to push back at the anti-Communist hysteria of McCarthyism, tackling issues of civil liberties, blacklisting, and racial discrimination. Now the Fund was spinning off the Center, which would soon attract individuals in business, labor, religion, education, and government to its home at Solana, the onetime Peabody Estate spectacularly located at the top of Eucalyptus Hill in Montecito. Hutchins called the place “El Parthenon,” a tongue-in-cheek reference to the mansion’s Greco-Spanish architecture, with its interior courtyard bordered by corridors that led to a spacious conference room. “Hutchins wanted to bring together the most brilliant people in every area of endeavor, and he succeeded,” says Keith Melville, professor at the School of Leadership Studies at Fielding Graduate University. Among the initial on-staff “consultants” were theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, University

of California president Clark Kerr, publisher Henry Luce, and physicist Isidor Rabi. As time went on, many other national and international figures sat in on the discussions that grappled with heady social, political, and technological topics. “There was no other place where so many prominent people came together—from Washington, Hollywood, science,” adds Melville. Indeed the Center’s guest book is a roster of famous names, including John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., writer Aldous Huxley, actor Paul Newman, farm worker activist Cesar Chavez, and jurist Antonin Scalia.

Left to right: Talk show host STEVE ALLEN was
on hand to discuss the serious topic of comedy; presidential candidate EUGENE MCCARTHY passed through the portico.
“A lot of people who were interested in a subject would come to the conferences and presentations,” says Beverley Jackson, who wrote the society column for the Santa Barbara News-Press and was a rare reporter allowed in, since “no one took me seriously with my frivolous column. The conferences were very casual. We’d sit around a big table and drink coffee and talk. You found yourself talking to some fascinating people.” A conference on humor brought in Art Buchwald, Herb Caen, and Steve Allen, whom Jackson encountered at the coffee urn. “I said, ‘I think this is the most depressing group,’” she remembers. “He said, ‘Who ever told you that the discussion of humor was funny?’” Presiding over it all was Hutchins. “He was very handsome, very charming, totally magnetic,” she says. “He didn’t flaunt his intelligence. He made you feel as though you were the most important person in the room.” The Center had plenty of detractors, however. Its apparently liberal orientation prompted some locals to label it Moscow on Eucalyptus Hill. And its choice of issues often led to controversy. A report in 1965 on how the United States became involved in Vietnam brought both support and condemnation. In 1967, when student leaders, including many radicals, were invited to discuss the causes of the growing number of demonstrations on college campuses, anger over their statements reverberated to Congress. Writers Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne, who had visited the Center briefly, excoriated the place for its “avidly anti-intellectual” statements and for flattering would-be donors by having them participate in the discussions. And Santa Barbara columnist Barney Brantingham recalls that as a News-Press reporter he was not allowed in to cover a session on freedom of the press.
Feature - TBD
Funding was always precarious. After spending its initial Ford Foundation grants, the Center depended on wealthy members of its board of directors and other major donors. Then in 1969, Hutchins reorganized the Center, firing some consultants and adding others. One who arrived in 1973 was Dr. Alex Comfort, a serious British medical biologist who also had written the wildly popular Joy of Sex. To escape tax issues and marital difficulties, Comfort contracted with the Center to give it a percentage of royalties, and he joined the staff, where he remained for two years, though that arrangement eventually led to a long, acrimonious lawsuit. (In a coda to that story, when Comfort died in 2000, long after the Center’s demise, and while Solana was being renovated by its present owners Sandi and Bill Nicholson, a BBC crew pulled up in black SUVs to see if any trace of the colorful doctor remained in the residence. They were disappointed.) In the mid-1970s as the Center’s financial woes worsened, an aging and ailing Hutchins resigned, only to return after nine months of staff infighting undermined his chosen successor. He died in 1977, and two years later the Center moved to the University of California, Santa Barbara, where its voluminous archives have remained, even after the organization merged with the Institute for National Strategy in Los Angeles in 1988. And its impact? It was “a hub for great minds to engage in truly

interdisciplinary discourse,” notes Henry Yang, chancellor of UCSB. “During its final years, the Center was proudly affiliated with UC Santa Barbara, and its mission to study and examine the pillars of democracy has left a lasting impact on our university, our local community, and society as a whole.” “The Center was extraordinarily ambitious,” adds Melville. “It exemplified excellence and featured people who were at the top of their fields.” Equally impressive is the way the Center antici-
pated issues that would shape today’s world. Early on, participants addressed the arms race, the Vietnam War, and student discontent. The Center contemplated a new U.S. Constitution, built conferences around Pope John’s encyclical Pacem in terris (Peace on Earth), and extended that concern to the oceans with meetings entitled Pacem in Maribus. It considered technology, race relations, and the impact of mass media. And it earned an enduring place in the intellectual history of Santa Barbara. ●

DEPECHE MODE HAS GONE IN AND OUT OF BEING A TRIO, WHICH IS A MAJOR DYNAMIC IN A BAND. HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THE ALCHEMY OF THE GROUP? IS IT DIFFERENT FOR YOU WHEN IT’S A TRIO VERSUS NOT?
I think we were always destined to be a trio. Vince Clarke, one of our founding members and the main songwriter at the time, told us he was leaving before our first album had even been released. After the success of that album, the remaining three members went into the studio as a trio to make the second album. We then brought in Alan Wilder to play live with us while touring that album. As we got on really well with him and he was a great musician, we asked him to join the band for the making of our third album in 1983. He stayed with us until 1995, when he decided he had enough. We were back to a trio and have been ever since. Making decisions is much easier as a trio because you can’t have a split decision. That was a problem when there were four of us. I would like to mention Peter Gordeno and Christian Eigner at this point. Although they don’t record with us, they have been an integral part of our touring lineup since 1998. Peter plays keyboards, and Christian plays drums. The songs often become very different entities to the album versions when we play live because of their input.
Feature - TBD
That is a good observation! We have naturally evolved into working in four-year cycles. It wasn’t planned that way. We never sat down and had a meeting to decide how often we should release albums and tour, it just happened organically. Since 1993’s Songs of Faith and Devotion we have been working this way. That’s basically how long it takes us to recuperate after a tour, spend time with our families, complete any side projects, and write songs for a new album. From 1981 to 1990 we put an album out almost every year, but that was not sustainable long-term for the band or the fans.
IS LIVING/RETREATING TO SANTA BARBARA PART OF THAT RESPITE? WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?
I decided to move to America in 2000, and California was the plan. I could never imagine myself living in Los Angeles. I try to go there as little as possible! Friends recommended a few places, and Santa Barbara came up a lot. I went on a reconnaissance mission and fell in love with the town. I love it because it is one of the most stunning places on earth as well as a great place to relax and not be bothered too much.

We have never wanted to rest on our laurels, and we try to push ourselves with each project. I think it

helps that we are an electronic band at our core, and we always try to keep up with current technologies without trying to sound current, if that makes sense. Without wishing to sound like a diva, I think we would have given up years ago if we didn’t feel relevant. We recently returned from a three-and-ahalf-month tour of Europe where we were nicely surprised once again by how young a lot of our fans are. We must be doing something right!
THE NEW ALBUM, SPIRIT , SEEMS TO PUSH THE LIMITS A BIT. HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM YOUR LAST? WHAT ALLOWS YOU GUYS TO REINVENT?
The new album is much more political than our previous albums. There is unfortunately a lot to write about at the moment if you start getting into social commentary. The world is in a mess.
SANTA BARBARA IS AN INTERSECTION OF MANY FACTIONS OF THE ARTS, AND DEPECHE MODE SEEMS TO BE THAT AS WELL. FINE ART, DESIGN, AND STAGING ALL SEEM TO BE AN INTRINSIC PART OF ANY NEW ALBUM. DO YOU TAKE ON EACH NEW ALBUM AS A BIT OF AN EXHIBIT, OR IS THAT JUST SOMETHING THAT COMES AFTER YOU’RE DONE WITH THE MUSIC?

HAS SANTA BARBARA INSPIRED YOUR SONGWRITING?
This is the age-old question: How much is your art influenced by your surroundings? Without being able to point out any song in particular, I think that apart from Spirit, my songs have generally been more positive and for want of a better word, spiritual since I have lived here.

The Santa Barbara Bowl is just special. As you say, it is beautiful. It sounds great, and I have lived here for 17 years. To me it feels like I am playing to my home crowd. It is also the smallest venue, apart from one casino, that we will play on this tour and that is a nice change.

We have been working with Anton Corbijn since 1986. His first job with us was the video for “A Question of Time.” He has admitted to us that the only reason he took the project on was because he fancied shooting a video in America! It had nothing to do with the song or the band. Luckily we got on really well so we gradually started to involve Anton in all of our visual output. He is a true artist and we trust him intrinsically to this day. He is involved in our photographs, videos, DVDs, live-screen footage, sleeves, fonts, etc.
“I think that apart from Spirit, my songs have generally been more positive and
spiritual since I have lived here.”
WHAT ARE THE THINGS YOU LOVE TO DO IN SANTA BARBARA THAT WOULD SURPRISE PEOPLE?
I have no idea what surprises people these days! When I am not working, I love to spend time at home with my wife, Kerrilee, our two young daughters, and my son. Kerrilee and I both love Ethiopian food so we love to go for lunch at Petit Valentien on weekends. I am a keen runner, so I love to go running in Santa Barbara. It is the perfect climate for running, usually.
I SAW THE MOVIE ATOMIC BLONDE RECENTLY—A SEXY SPY FILM THAT CHARLIZE THERON CRUSHES AS A DOUBLE AGENT IN 1989 BERLIN. THE SOUNDTRACK SLAYED, AND THEY INCLUDED TWO DEPECHE MODE SONGS—“PERSONAL JESUS” AND “BEHIND THE WHEEL.” WHY DOES ’80S MUSIC ALWAYS MAKE FILMS BETTER?
I think it is a nostalgia thing that only works for people of a certain age. Perhaps a 20 or 30-year-old would not feel that ’80s music makes a film better. Which leads me to a nice way to end this interview. If it were Depeche Mode being played in the film perhaps a 20 or 30-year-old would feel that it was enhancing the film because luckily we still attract a young audience! ●

How a series of curious accidents brought forth a spectacular vintage

Photographed at daybreak, the nevercompleted, now-decaying ruins of the CARMELITE MONASTERY .
In the late afternoon, the wind comes in from the ocean and coats the sun-baked Sta. Rita Hills in a soothing fog. This is the last valley before the sea, and its chalky mountain range—conveniently running from east to west—gives it a cool microclimate that’s unique in the region. “If you’re a Pinot Noir or Chardonnay grape,” says Michael Palmer of Mail Road Wines, “this is heaven.” The nuns thought it was divine, too. In the mid1980s, an order of Carmelite Sisters, suffering from the crush of life in Orange County, came here for the solitude. There is still plenty of that to go around; by the time you reach the panoramic crest of the ridge of Mt. Carmel, the dead-end street sign is miles behind you. But something in the Edenic scenery on these last few miles of the Santa Ynez River inspired the Sisters to reach for more. Soon construction began on a grand monastery; the hope was to come to Santa Barbara County for a peaceful place to live and be close to God. By the early 1990s, the nuns’ dramatic vision began to stumble on the dollars and cents of rural construction. And that’s when Ron and Nancy Piazza— Long Beach restaurateurs with dreams of the farming life—saw an opportunity. The Piazzas got a lease to transform the 22 acres of scrub brush surrounding the monastery into grape arcadia, and the Sisters got an extended lease on their hopes. “They say that wine is close to God,” Palmer says with a laugh. The nuns’ vision was not to be. Today, the unfinished remains of the partially built monastery grace the hillside. The last of the Sisters still live on the property in small houses on the next hill over, from which they can see their half-finished dream. Ron and Nancy located and planted unique heritage clones of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as opposed to the more common Dijon clones used by wineries in the United States today. They did all of the work themselves, building trellises and driving the endposts into the earth. But they didn’t know quite what they were doing, Palmer confesses, and this turns out to have been one of the many lucky accidents that has made Mail Road Wines what they are. Ron and Nancy spaced the vines in wide rows; even now, the vineyard has a wilder and more natural feel than the assembly lines of neighboring vines. They also planted the clones straight into the ground. “You just don’t

do that,” says Palmer, referring to threats such as phylloxera, a pest that devastated wine crops in France in the 19th century. But Palmer believes that the grapes owe the intensity and complexity of their flavors to the stress faced by these uniquely complete vines, facing off against their natural enemy in a geography that gives them every advantage. “We are now developing our own Mt. Carmel clone, which is the product of natural selection at work on the collection of plants that have been growing these past 30 years,” he says. In 2011, an unusual frost brought the vineyard to the brink of a crisis. “It wasn’t clear that it would pull through,” says Palmer, but with the help of Ruben Solorzano, also known as the “Grape Whisperer,” the vines came back stronger than ever. Palmer has the effusive smile and enthusiasm

of someone who knows what he likes and is doing it every day. And that, in a way, reflects another one of the lucky accidents in the unusual history of this vineyard. In 2008, the Tea Fire tore through Palmer’s neighborhood and obliterated the house in which he lived with his wife, Eva Ein, and their family. They had only minutes of warning. “I picked up a few family photos and walked out,” says Palmer. “In retrospect, it was a godsend. How many people get an opportunity to hit the reset button on their lives?” After

that, he chucked his career as a branding executive and decided to focus on his real passions: food and wine. In 2011, Palmer partnered with the Piazzas and brought aboard his friend Matt Dees, a young winemaker with a spectacular record in the region. The result was the launch of Mail Road Wines. A year later, Palmer and Ein also purchased McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams, a family-owned business in Santa Barbara since 1949, and they have been running it as a family business ever since. The trail of unintended consequences culminates in an astonishing glass of wine. The first release in 2015 bowled over some of the most sober critics in the wine world. One vintage, the 2012 Estate Pinot Noir, racked up a whopping 97 points from Jeb Dunnuck, wine critic at Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate.. Others have earned marks in the high 90s. But you may find it hard to obtain. Though Palmer talks about planting more vines, a glance around tells you that there is only so much hillside on this side of paradise. As for Palmer, he remains upbeat. This is, after all, a valley that inspires impossible dreams. ●

GARDEN GALA Madame Ganna Walska’s renowned estate was transformed on a summer’s evening for LOTUSLAND CELEBRATES: AVANT GARDEN . More than 500 well-dressed guests—including Zoe Saldana—sipped Margerum wines and Cheurlin champagnes while witnessing fashion feats from Valentino’s Fall 2017 collection, which was displayed throughout the sprawling gardens. Chairs Belle Hahn Cohen with Rachel Wryan and honorary chair Jennifer Hale choreographed a magical evening filled with opera, violin, piano, and ballet all dedicated in tribute to the late lifetime honorary trustee Michael Towbes. The exquisite landmark was transformed by Alice Ryan Miller of A Company and Gina Andrews of Bon Fortune Style & Events in creative collaboration with Rrivre Davies of Rrivre Works while artist Colette Cosentino crafted a mural specifically for the event—a whimsical version of the Japanese Garden. The event raised roughly $400,000 for Lotusland restoration.
