From the Editor-in-Chief

I'm sure plenty of you parents of middle school girls have noticed our daughters can be pretty mean.

My wife, Jen, and I are blessed with a wonderful 11-year-old who’s honest and forthright. You always know where you stand with her. Still, those of us with younger girls live in houses whose moods seem to hinge in large part on theirs and can change on a dime. The reasons for that often, sadly, are what happens in school and their changing circles of friends. And it ain't fun.

Gracie came home from school one day last fall and burst into tears. A friend tried to rat her out at lunch. This other girl, who'd been over to play the weekend before, announced to a table of girls, including my daughter, that she'd read Gracie's diary and proclaimed she “likes” a certain boy. That'd be embarrassing enough if true. But my daughter doesn't keep a diary, not even one she hides. The whole story was fabricated.

When I was in middle school, backstabbing was backstabbing. I got teased about my then-big nose. It became my “former” big nose after surgery at 13. Looking back, it was barbaric, and my kids will never go through that — but Mom surely spared me years of teasing.

I could list all the other things going against me back then (the youngest in my class and shy and …), but this letter can only be one page. I’ll just say I understand that teasing hurts.

Today, it’s not a face-to-face attack. Kids have a power with their phones that’s led to a new, sophisticated level of meanspiritedness. Nowhere is this more apparent than the ability to take photos and videos and broadcast them in the blink of an eye. You can still be mean and say someone's ugly, but why stop there when you can take a picture when that person’s not looking, filter it, retouch it, meme it and broadcast to everyone who follows you?

That’s one thing the Snapchat app lets them do. Kids ignore Facebook (for parents), and Instagram’s on the way out.

With Snapchat, the picture or video “evidence” disappears seconds after your viewer sees it (things can be saved, but it takes a little effort). Want to make clear someone’s no longer part of your inner circle? Upload a picture of all your friends from a sleepover and crop her out. Better yet, if she’s in the middle of the photo, grab the marker tool and put a big red X through your former friend, maybe with an insulting text box. And don't just text it to your closest friends; post it to Snapchat for good measure.

Talk about enabling.

This is the middle school world we live in. Jen, my daughter's little brother and I are living it with my daughter, with very real tears to accompany the experience. It’s so different these days, and I've felt helpless as my little girl's spent countless nights crying herself to sleep.

As I struggled to come up with a way to help (her favorite peanut butter Oreos dunked in warm milk didn't even do it), she and my wife crafted a simple text message to the girl who made up the diary story.

It simply said: “I don’t know why you did that, but if you wanted to hurt my feelings, you did.” Scant seconds later, there was a reply: “I’m really sorry, I don’t know why I did that either.” By the next day, their friendship had been patched up.

Our kids live in a different world, one I know I will never fully comprehend. But simple communication, being frank and honest and saying how we feel, as well as being compassionate — those are things that'll never change.

Jeffrey Cohen jeff@slmag.net

Editor’s note: Readers, what suggestions can you share? What do you say? When do you jump in or not? And how do you comfort your child in a situation like this?

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ENGINES More than 50 vehicles make their debut as part of the 2016 LA Auto Show in November Written by Andre James

Jaguar XKSS

Founded in 1907, the Los Angeles Auto Show is the first major North American auto show of the season each year. An epicenter for advanced automotive design, Los Angeles was a stage for several concept car unveilings, global model debuts by top auto manufacturers, and first looks at innovations and advancements around artificial intelligence, automation, car sharing, security and more.

ACURA Developed by the Acura Design Studio in California, the Acura Precision Concept places an emphasis on highcontrast details and the intersection of modern, sheer surfaces and muscular, organic sculpting through its ultra-low and wide stance, long dash-to-axle ratio, deeply sculpted surfaces and the debut of a new Diamond Pentagon grille.

The powerful exterior is matched by its dramatic interior design, where ultra-thin "floating" rear seats evoke the look of modern lounge furniture and hand-crafted audio speaker grilles are made of exotic wood. The driver's space is highlighted by a race-inspired sports steering wheel with paddle shifters and

Integrated Dynamics System controls, a floating center meter, a driver's head-up display, a cantilevered center stack and an ultrawide curved center display screen.

ALFA ROMEO Named after the Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps and dubbed as “the SUV for S-Curves,” the all-new 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio is the second of a new lineup of vehicles built off a world-class architecture that embodies the brand’s La meccanica delle emozioni (the mechanics of emotion) spirit. Stelvio and Stelvio Ti models feature an all-new, all-aluminum, 2.0-liter, direct-injection turbo engine delivering a class-leading, standard 280hp and 306 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing it to achieve a top speed of 144mph.

Italian craftsmanship is enhanced with state-of-the-art technologies, such as a four-mode Alfa DNA Pro selector with Race mode, torque vectoring differential, Quadrifoglio-tuned adaptive suspension, Quadrifoglio instrument cluster with 200mph speedometer and cylinder deactivation system, aluminum columnmounted paddle shifters with 100 millisecond shifts and a Q4 all-wheel-drive system. slmag.net

BMW M760i xDrive

BMW The first BMW 7 Series M performance automobile, the allnew 2017 BMW M760i xDrive, sees the addition of the first M Performance TwinPower Turbo 12-cylinder engine, boasting 601hp and an impressive 590 lb-ft of torque. The eight-speed Steptronic Sport Automatic transmission equipped with Launch Control paves the way for drivers to achieve a 0-60 mph run in just 3.6 seconds.

Specially tuned for the BMW M760i xDrive, M Performance specific suspension geometry, M Sport brakes and Integral Active Steering with a more direct front axle steering ratio, grant the agility and precision expected from a BMW M Performance-developed vehicle. Priced at $153,800 plus Destination and Handling.

BUICK Envisioned as a contemporary grand tourer, Buick’s Avista concept is a 2+2 coupe with a 400-horsepower twinturbocharged V-6 driving the rear wheels and a driver-focused cockpit with a center console that incorporates touch screen controls and extends to the rear seating area.

Similar to the 2017 LaCrosse, the concept features fuelsaving Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and Stop/Start technology to complement its power with efficiency.

The engine is backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission and Magnetic Ride Control to deliver more precise body motion control.

The all-new Land Rover Discovery

CADILLAC Escala — Spanish for “scale” — is Cadillac’s concept for a larger, more elite and expressive companion to the 2016 Cadillac CT6. The large four-door sedan features an expansive liftback design emphasizing the car’s considerable scale and versatility. At 210.5 inches in overall length, Escala is roughly six inches longer than the CT6. It is powered by a new 4.2-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine that serves as a prototype of a new system in development for future Cadillac models.

The advanced engine utilizes Active Fuel Management technology, enabling fuel-saving four-cylinder operation.

An array of three curved OLED screens is a prominent feature in the front of the cabin. Presented as an alternative to the traditional “cluster” arrangement of gauges, the thin, curved displays are layered in front of the driver, with the backsides wrapped in hand-stitched leather embossed with the Cadillac script. The interior makes broad use of hand-tailored fabric on the door trim and seating areas.

JAGUAR Jaguar celebrated both the past and the future, debuting its I-PACE Concept, an all-electric performance SUV as well as the first genuine XKSS to be built in nearly 60 years.

The I-PACE boasts electric motors on the front and rear axles with a combined output of 400hp and 516-lb ft. of torque – delivering acceleration from 0-60 mph in around four seconds.

The 90kWh lithium-ion battery pack has an estimated range of 220 miles and can be fully charged in just over two hours using a

36 slmag.net

public 50kW DC charging network. The company plans to have the I-PACE production model on the road in 2018.

Presented in collaboration with the Petersen Museum, the XKSS was built from 1954-1986 as a road-going conversion of the Le Mans-winning D-type. Just 16 examples were built; in 1957, nine that were earmarked for export to North America were lost in a fire at Jaguar’s Browns Lane factory in the British Midlands; meaning just 16 examples of XKSS were built. With a price tag in excess of $1 million, Jaguar’s Classic division will build the nine “lost” cars for a select group of established collectors and customers using the one-off example presented in LA, the result of 18 months of research, as a blueprint. A period correct continuation, the XKSS will be built using a combination of original drawings from Jaguar’s archive and modern technology.

LAND ROVER Making its North American debut in advance of the auto show at a Venice Beach popup, Land Rover utilized guest appearances by big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton, his wife and champion volleyball player Gabby Reece, and Olympic goldmedalist swimmer Conor Dwyer, among others to highlight the compatibility of their all-new Land Rover Discovery with an active lifestyle.

Discovery is billed as the brand’s most versatile SUV, with seating for up to seven adults with optional third row seating and offering premium design and interiors, all-terrain capability

and unique cutting-edge technology. Notable features include Intelligent Seat Fold technology that allows owners to instantly configure seating remotely via their Smartphone app and an available waterproof Activity Key that simultaneously locks the vehicle and disables the standard key, which can be left safely inside.

LINCOLN Taking design inspiration from luxury yachts and sailboats, power gullwing doors and deployable concertina steps on the Lincoln Motor Company’s Navigator Concept certainly turned heads during its debut. “Lincoln Navigator concept reinforces our commitment to give every Lincoln client what we call quiet luxury – vehicles and experiences that are elegant and effortlessly powerful,” said Kumar Galhotra, president, The Lincoln Motor Company. “Quiet luxury is what sets Lincoln apart. We’re showing fans of large SUVs how we can exceed their expectations, without being the loudest statement on the road.”

Inside, a custom wardrobe management system at the rear offers spacious organization for the savvy traveler. Six Lincolnpatented Perfect Position Seats adjust 30 ways to best support various body types. The driver’s seat includes independent deployable thigh support for maximum comfort.

MAZDA Ushering in a new era in the prominent history of Mazda Motorsports’ flagship endeavors in North America, the RT24-P racecar will make its racing debut at the 2017 Rolex 24

at Daytona in late January. The approximately 600hp engine, developed and raced with Advanced Engine Research (AER), is a 2.0-liter, inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine.

The Mazda RT24-P name echoes the Mazda Road to 24, a driver development program that provides scholarships to help championship-winning drivers progress from grassroots into the upper categories of professional sports car racing. Mazda currently holds more than 55 percent of the market share in grassroots racing. The “24” also represents the two-liter, four-cylinder race engine. The “P” signifies Prototype.

MERCEDES The first cabriolet from the Mercedes-Maybach brand, limited to 300 examples worldwide and 75 units in the U.S., made its debut at the LA Auto Show. Based on the open-top S-Class, the cabriolet is powered by a 6.0L V12 biturbo engine with an output of 621hp.

In the U.S. market, three themes will be available: Zircon Red exterior paint with Porcelain / Black interior, Piano Lacquer Flowing Lines trim and a black soft top; Cote d’Azur Blue exterior paint with a Porcelain / Saddle Brown interior, Magnolia Nut Brown trim and a beige soft top; and, designo Diamond White exterior paint with Porcelain / Yacht Blue Interior, Magnolia Nut Brown Flowing Lines trim and a dark blue soft top. Each is equipped with an exclusive travel luggage set to coordinate with the interior variant selected by the customer.

Porsche Panamara Hybrid Executive

MITSUBISHI The MITSUBISHI eX Concept represents the brand’s vision for a unique 100 percent electric-powered compact SUV aimed at the fast-growing compact SUV market. It uses Mitsubishi's state-of-the art electric-powered technologies and allwheel control combined with automated driving, connected car interfacing and active safety technologies.

Merging the elegance and stylishness of a "shooting brake" (a term for a coupé with flowing styling fused with a hatchback car) with compact SUV lines, it evokes the image of a sporty crossover zipping nimbly around town. The front end is a new interpretation of the Dynamic Shield front design concept found in Mitsubishi's current product lineup.

The eX Concept can be connected to a V2H device that allows the energy stored in the drive battery to supply enough electricity battery to power domestic appliances in an average household for four days. A 1500W 100V AC socket also allows the battery to power home electric appliances when enjoying outdoor pursuits.

PORSCHE Increasing the model range of the Panamera to nine variants, Porsche presented its luxury sports sedan with a new 330hp V6 turbo engine (an increase of 20hp over the previous Panamera generation). The engine is available with rear-rear drive and all-wheel drive in the Panamera 4 or the new extended

wheelbase Executive version. Enhanced standard accoutrements in the Executive edition include a large panoramic roof, heated comfort seats with multi-way electrical adjustment in the front and rear, and adaptive air suspension with an electronically controlled damper system, roll-up sunblind behind the head restraints in the rear. With an impressive 550hp, rear-axle steering, soft-close doors, four-zone climate control, LED main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System and ambient interior lighting are among the stock options in the Panamera Turbo Executive. Available upgrades for the Executive models include a newly developed large rear center console and the latest generation of Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment that can transform the space into a digital workspace.

SUBARU With full three-row capability, Subaru’s VIZIV-7 SUV Concept shows the size direction of the all-new threerow midsize SUVs it plans to introduce to the North American market in early 2018. “The concept expresses our core brand values, safety, dependability, capability for outdoor activities and a forward looking attitude,” said Takeshi Tachimori, corporate executive vice president, Fuji Heavy Industries, LTD. “We know customers in this segment want a full-sized vehicle, and the next three-row from Subaru will be the biggest Subaru vehicle ever. sl slmag.net

OLIVE NAPA VALLEY Discovering another kind of liquid gold in California wine country Written by Caroline Hannan

42 slmag.net

During a recent 36-hour sojourn in the Napa Valley, I was faced with a conundrum: how to make the most of precious little time without running myself ragged. Given the so-many-wineries-so-little-time scenario, I opted to focus on just one property – Round Pond – an estate whose high-quality, artisan-produced olive oils are garnering as much acclaim as their wines. A partnership with nearby Meadowood has resulted in the Harvest, Round (Pond) Two! package, making it easy to enjoy the best of both renowned properties.

Pulling onto a road less traveled in St. Helena, lined on either side by neat rows of grapevines, their fruit long harvested

so one is left to admire the kaleidoscopic colors of leaves holding fast to the gnarled vines, the late afternoon sunshine gives way to a mysterious mottled light filtered through a thick canopy of trees that envelopes the gatehouse at Meadowood, my home base for the next two nights. The transformative effect is heightened as security waves us through and we continue along a wide lane and through a fairytale-like forest past crystal clear swimming pools, tennis courts and undulating hills sprinkled with cottages carefully placed among the trees ‌ a posh and idyllic setting for a grownup version of summer camp.

Estate Suite Bedroom at Meadowood.

Hill House Suite.

My one bedroom, 600-square-foot cottage in the Treeline Suites enclave sat atop the crest of a hill; from my private deck I was afforded sweeping views of the 250-acre property that includes a total of 85 cottages, suites and lodges, a ninehole golf course, croquet lawn, a health and fitness center, four miles of hiking trails with varying degrees of difficulty, a newly constructed spa and a restaurant awarded three Michelin stars.

My room exuded that covetable aura of California cool, expressed via a neutral color palette, a comfortable slipcovered sofa and fireplace in the sitting room, a bedroom with a plush California king bed and a 32-inch flat screen television cleverly concealed on a lift in the writing desk, and a large, recently renovated bath with a deep soaking tub and separate shower.

Looking to unwind after a long travel day, in lieu of raiding the minibar, I called for a golf cart to pop me over to the Reception Lodge to partake in their daily complimentary reception and tasting of celebrated Napa Valley wines (one red and one white) for resort guests. Guests lucky to lodge on a Friday are treated to a Napa Valley sparkling varietal to welcome the weekend. Now in full relaxation mode, I made the short walk to the spa to begin my immersion in the world of Round Pond.

The 14,000-square-foot spa is unlike any I’ve experienced.

I’m fairly certain that I’m not alone when I say I find nothing 44 slmag.net

soothing about sitting in most spa’s relaxation room clad in nothing but a bathrobe and surrounded by strangers. With the Meadowood Spa’s all-suite concept, you are fully and privately immersed in the spa treatment from start-to-finish, and an in-depth consultation with your therapist prior to the start of any service all but guarantees your desired outcome.

In preparation for my visit to the Round Pond estate the following day, my 90-minute body treatment included having my skin tenderized with a scrub of sea salt and Round Pond olive oil followed by a full body massage. After the dually invigorating and relaxing experience, which included time in my spa suite’s aromatherapy steam shower and left my skin feeling supersmooth, I joked with my therapist that I now know what it feels like to be a Wagyu filet.

I hit the hiking trails that ring the Meadowood property early the following morning in preparation for what I knew would be an indulgent day. After a short drive to Rutherford, by 10:30am I found myself with wineglass in hand, tasting Round Pond’s 2015 Proprietary white wine with affable winemaker Muiris Griffin and warm-as-sunshine Ryan MacDonnell, who co-owns Round Pond Estate with her brother Miles.

Ryan and Miles’ father began purchasing land in the area in the late 1970s and gradually increased their holdings as adjacent

properties became available. The estate’s first wine, “Tractor Shed Red,” was made in 1992 to share with family and friends. Twelve acres of olive orchards were planted in 1998; the olive mill opened in 2003 and remains one of only two in Napa Valley. The first grape harvest under the Round Pond label took place in 2002, resulting in their 2002 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon, and in 2007, the winery and tasting room opened to offer a unique farm-to-table approach for visitors. At present, Round Pond Estate encompasses 460 acres, including 362 acres of vineyards and five acres of biodynamic gardens.

Both Ryan and Miles left Rutherford to pursue different career paths (he with Deloitte, she with Goldman Sachs and the Hewlett Foundation) before returning to their roots; they now live on the property with their spouses and young children and treat the land like the family heirloom it is. “Ryan and I are incredibly lucky to live and work with our family on family land,” says Miles.

“Basically we grew up camping out in these vineyards, exploring the river, and riding four-wheelers up and down the valley. As a family we enjoyed the farm-to-table lifestyle before it was fashionable.”

Round Pond offers an extensive lineup of interactive experiences equally geared to satiate the palettes of oenophiles and foodies alike.

For my food-focused experience, I was chauffeured around the property in the covered bed of a 1941 fire engine-red Chevrolet truck that has become an iconic symbol of the estate. Our first stop was a

special tasting of Balsamic Traditional straight from the barrel. One drop of the sweet and savory elixir had me clamoring to get on the wait list for a bottle from the very limited production.

Crafted using the centuries-old Orleans methods from classic red wines produced on the estate, Round Pond Red Wine Vinegars ($9-$18) are aged for 10 months in French oak barrels.

Intensely fragrant and flavorful, a pair of vinaigrettes – Blood Orange Lavender and Red Wine Herb ($18/250ml bottle) – captures the essence of the summer in a bottle.

At the Olive Mill, we learned about the ins and outs of oil production and tasting, and sampled the liquid gold in traditional cobalt blue tasting cups straight from the press. Unlike wine where examining color is part of the tasting process, color is not an indicator of an olive oil’s flavor or quality. Warming the blue glass briefly in our cupped palm and covering the top with the other hand as we gently swirled the viscous liquid around, Miles demonstrated how to taste the oil. An audible slurp emulsifies the oil with air in the mouth, allowing it to coat the tongue and activate all of the sensory areas. Varying degrees of bitterness and pungency, the peppery sensation felt in the throat as the oil is swallowed, is a hallmark of high-quality olive oil. Trust me, once you’ve tasted “the good stuff,” it becomes quite easy to discern it from the imposters lurking in so many of our kitchen pantries. slmag.net

Round Pond produces two varietals of olive oil ($9$36), Italian and Spanish, using a traditional stone mill and a contemporary Hammermill, a best-of-both-worlds scenario that allows for master blending and teases out the best flavor from the harvest of 2,200 olive trees. A selection of infused oils is also available, with Meyer Lemon, Garlic and Chili among my personal favorites ($9-$18). What to do with the fruit left over from infusing oil with Meyer Lemon and Blood Orange peels led to the development of citrus syrups ($18), which pair ideally with savory cheeses, poured over waffles and incorporated into cocktails. True olive oil aficionados will want to partake of the estate’s fresh olive oil days, where they have the opportunity to craft their personal “by-the-milliliter” blend.

Traipsing about the estate worked up an appetite, so our group convened back at the winery, gathering on the covered terrace, for a multi-course lunch. With the Mayacamas Mountains silhouetted in the distance and a cozy fire roaring, we sipped and savored the estate’s bounty in every course. Round Pond’s blog, THE FEED (feedbyroundpond.com), shares scores

of recipes created by the winery chef, Jamie Prouten, as well as other notable Napa Valley culinary influencers.

A palpable and infectious joie de vivre permeated every level of interaction during our visit to Round Pond, a feeling that’s easily understandable given the area’s natural beauty further enhanced by a passionate commitment to respect the land. “As a family we have always enjoyed the rustic elegance of wine and homegrown food around the table,” says Ryan. “It's a privilege, now, to be able to share the bounty of our estate with others.”

The Harvest, Round (Pond) Two! package includes a twonight stay in a Woodland Suite or Treeline Suite; daily breakfast; Round Pond Olive Mill Tour & Tasting; two Essential Journeys spa treatments utilizing Round Pond Olive Oil; and a tailored Eco Fitness Class with Meadowood Certified Health Coach Kerry Brackett.

Curating a Lifestyle: American Art Pottery Written by Amelia and Jeff Jeffers

From left: Rookwood Vellum vase made by Ed Diers in 1919, $1586 at auction. A rare pâte-sur-pâte porcelain jar by Homer Laughlin, circa 1886, $18,000 (at auction, one of a pair).

Tackling the field of pottery collecting in a two-page article is akin to filling a pool with a teacup. As broad a category as any, pottery generally refers to any object shaped from clay and dried (or fired) to fix the form. Humans have been creating functional (and functionally beautiful) pottery objects for over 13,000 years, and while methods and materials have largely remained the same, design, style and form has changed dramatically across cultures and generations. A relatively undervalued segment of the collecting world today happens to be one that particularly appeals to us: American art pottery.

Rising from the practical use of rich and abundant clay deposits across the eastern and central states, art pottery was elevated in the late 19th century when an unlikely innovator (who also happened to be a wealthy Cincinnati socialite) decided it was time for America to step up and overtake Europe as the leader in the ceramic arts. Thanks to an expansive online market, collectors are able to enter this field at nearly every price point.

Below are a few examples of some of the more sought-after American art pottery companies.

ROOKWOOD Founded by Cincinnati socialite Maria Longworth, the Rookwood Pottery Company was a success by any measure when its team of artisans won the First Prize Gold Medal at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1889 - just nine years after the firm had started production. Shocking the

54 slmag.net

international artistic community, who had never really paid much attention to American ceramics, Rookwood went on to dominate the art pottery scene for several decades, pouring money into high quality materials and hiring the best of the best artists of the period. A signature Rookwood matte-glazed vase with minimal decoration can be easily found for just $100-300, but buyers looking for more elaborate pieces by renowned artists such as Sara Sax, Albert Valentine, Jens Jensen or Carl Schmidt should be prepared to reach deep into their wallets, with works reaching well into the thousands.

NEWCOMB Born from the desire to supply women with the means of supporting themselves and their families, Newcomb Pottery grew from the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, the women's college now associated with Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. During its years of operation (1895-1940), the company produced more than 70,000 pieces, many of which were decorated by home-grown talents whose names make collectors’ hearts race all over the country: Sadie Irvine, Harriet Joor, Frances Lawrence Howe Cocke and Sara Levy. Apropos to the Arts and Crafts period during which it flourished, Newcomb pottery drew inspiration from the local flora and fauna. Its high point is generally considered to be from 1897-1917, when the artists from Newcomb won numerous awards at various exhibitions. The record-price at

auction for Newcomb pottery was $169,200 for a high-glazed vase with incised clematis designs decorated in 1904 by Marie de Hoa LeBlanc. Generally though, options abound in the midhundreds to low thousands.

GRUEBY Inspired by the matte glazes popular on French pottery at the time, the classically refined simplicity of Japanese ceramics and the work of architect-designer William Graves, William Henry Grueby founded his eponymous company in Revere, Massachusetts in 1894. A pioneer in the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements of the late 19th and early 20th century, the Grueby company produced homegoods, as well as architectural terra cotta and tin-glazed faience tiles. A series of impressive results at international exhibitions from 1901-1904 shot Grueby’s wares to meteoric commercial success - and partnerships with some of the biggest brands of the era. Style-maker Siegfred Bing featured Grueby in his tony Maison de l'Art Nouveau in Paris; Tiffany Studios purchased Grueby bases for their stunning leaded glass lamp shades; and acclaimed furniture maker Gustav Stickley incorporated Grueby tiles into stands and tables. Grueby is probably best recognized today for tiles and lamp bases, with prices covering a wide range–from $100 to many thousands of dollars.

WELLER Samuel Weller started his modest pottery company in 1872 with one beehive kiln and a small cabin, but by 1905 the

company was one of the largest manufacturers of ceramics in the country. Weller Pottery mass-produced art pottery through 1920, and its commercial lines continued until the company closed in 1948. Although the majority of Weller Pottery is fairly inexpensive and easy to find, a few designs can be more obscure and cost substantially more. The Sicardo line of pottery was developed

by French ceramist Jacques Sicard and feature an iridescent glaze that was notoriously difficult to produce. Historians believe that only about 30% of the Sicard pieces ever made survived to market during the short five-year production period. Many believe that Sicard never revealed the secret of his glaze; and when he returned to France, his formula went with him. Collectors expect to pay several hundred dollars each for basic Sicard pieces.

HOMER LAUGHLIN Best known for their colorful dinnerware known as Fiesta, Homer Laughlin is hardly associated with the best art pottery. But, for a brief period, along with his brother, Laughlin threw his hat into the art pottery ring by producing a very small handful of covetable items, including a pâte-sur-pâte porcelain, a laborious process that allows the decoration to retain a translucence so sought after in porcelain. High-style porcelains from Laughlin’s ambitious efforts command high prices as both aesthetically appealing and historically important works. sl Amelia & Jeff Jeffers are co-owners of two fine art, antique and bespoke collectibles companies: Garth's of Delaware, Ohio and Selkirk of St. Louis, Missouri.

THE MIX

Finding health and happiness in a balanced way of life Written by Jack Mitchell There is by no means a shortage of beautiful cookbooks on the market, and I am no stranger to the allure of their charms. At present, there are scores of them arranged proudly on my kitchen shelves as false testaments to fantastic meals I should be preparing at home rather than caught in an endless cycle of dining out or grabbing less-than-healthy takeout on my way home from the office.

Maybe I was feeling extra nostalgic because of the holidays or the arrival of the book was perfectly timed to align with my annual proclamations that this will be the year I spend more time in the kitchen, but an opening quote in Liora Bels’ new cookbook, The Mix: A Loving Blend of Plant-Based Recipes, reached out and pulled me in.

“I love the emotional aspect of food. It not only nurtures you but also brings people together. It makes you fall in love and the taste and scent of it creates memories. Food makes you feel.”

It always strikes me as odd that we need a beautifully photographed book to serve as a reminder to eat more natural food, but somewhere along the way, for myriad reasons related to taste, unfamiliarity or perceived inconvenience, many of us meandered away from plant-based cooking. A working mom, Bels’ attempts to remove barriers, both real and imagined, make plant-based cooking more accessible … and most important, tasty. Her philosophy as a specialist on healthy eating and wholesome living revolves around the positive effects nutrition and a plant-based diet can have on body and soul.

Food photography by Mirjam Knickriem so vibrant and appetizing you’ll be tempted to nibble the pages is peppered with images of Bels looking radiant and happy in mid-century modern-inspired spaces. If it’s true that you are what you eat, then the Berlin-born beauty is a walking billboard for the benefits of a plant-based diet. She was gracious enough to share “Borscht My Way,” one of her favorite recipes from the book as an introduction to the hip side of healthy.

While Thai takeout will be a hard habit to break, Bels’ laid-back approach to eating well has me looking forward to trying to keep at least one of my New Year’s resolutions. I can already envision a pot of Fragrant Sweet Potato Soup (page 116) putting up a delicious affront to winter’s chill. sl Liora Bels – The Mix: A Loving Blend of Plant-Based Recipes – Hardcover, 205 pages, teNeues (teneues.com).

REMOTE CONTROL A landmark renovation of Cliff House Maine allows the storied property to once again command a rugged piece of Maine’s coastline in grand fashion Written by Bridget Williams

58 slmag.net

Upset that I’d roused before my 7am alarm, I rubbed my eyes, groggily shuffled to the glass door of my oceanfront balcony and peeled back the curtain just enough to survey the scene. After closing my dropped jaw, I sprang into action, groping the surroundings in my darkened room for any suitable articles of clothing that would make me (somewhat) presentable. Without even running a brush through my teeth or hair, I grabbed my camera and made a mad dash through the hotel’s corridors (the smell of freshly painted walls and new carpet still quite discernable), into the lobby and then outside to descend a wooden staircase that provides access to a jumble of massive boulders whose cleanly shorn edges look as though they were carefully cleaved at the hands of a giant.

slmag.net

Under the gradually brightening ambiance of a sherbet-colored sky, I scrambled to the edge of a towering rock whose lower half was worn smooth by the continual lapping of waves. Despite the hotel being completely sold out for the weekend, I existed in a state of blissful solitude, my legs dangling far above the water while I watched in wonder as the rhythmic pounding of the water seemed to keep time with the steady pace of the yolky orb ascending on the horizon. Magical doesn’t even begin to describe the experience… and it was only my first full day at Cliff House in Cape Neddick, Maine.

Nestled on 70 oceanfront acres on the southern coast of Maine, Cliff House is accessed via a windy two-lane road that traverses through picturesque and gentrified countryside. Sunday drivers are rewarded with a titillating peep show in-between stands of mature trees of both the sea and covetable weathered-shingled manses positioned at the end of leafy drives.

Cliff House has a long history of determined hospitality in the region dating back to the late 1800s when Elsie Jane, wife of Captain Theodore Weare, had the foresight and gumption to purchase land on Bald Head Cliff and develop a resort after learning of expansion plans for the Boston and Maine Railroad into nearby York. The embodiment of a working mother, Elise Jane opened Cliff House in 1872, operated the hotel and farm, invested in real estate, raised seven children and cared for her husband, who suffered from consumption. Rates for the 1872 premier season were $6.00 per week, per person, and included all three meals.

The property thrived as a retreat for the upper crust until World War II when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers commandeered it and constructed a radar station at the site to keep a round-the-clock vigil for Nazi submarines in the coastal waters. Following the war, the resort was left in a great state of disrepair. Elsie Jane’s son Charles, left nearly penniless following the seizure of his family’s livelihood, turned the property over to his son Maurice, who with his wife made it their life’s work to return Cliff House to its former glory.

Common among the subsequent expansions and renovations up to the present day is a sensitivity to the changing needs and expectations of hotel guests and a willingness to evolve to meet them. While no longer under the control of the Weare family (Kathryn Weare sold the property to Rockbridge, an Ohiobased private equity firm and Maine hoteliers Marc Dugas and Peter Anastos in 2015), there is little doubt that Elsie Jane would be more than pleased with the reemergence of the resort as a beacon of luxury and hospitality.

Fresh off of a first phase, $40 million landmark renovation (the property reopened in August of last year), upon entering the lobby today, one is immediately drawn to a bank of windows in the two-story space that provides sweeping views of the aforementioned boulder field. It’s a bit of a shame that Mother Nature steals the show, as the snappy “new nautical” decor (executed without a hint of kitsch), which is as crisp and fresh as the oceanic air, is equally worth ogling. The interior design of 132 ocean view guestrooms (up to 226 when second phase renovations are complete) mirrors the public areas, adorned in shades of grey, white and navy with playful touches such as porthole-style mirrors on each doorway, shiplap paneling and oversized nautical maps printed on the surface of a table in each room.

The owners of the hotel have adopted an ardent “true to Maine” philosophy, utilizing as many local partners as possible in all facets of operation.

Flooring is comprised of 46,000 square feet of reclaimed pine sourced from old buildings throughout the northeast; Cuddledown comforters on the beds are made in Maine. Even the staff members are in on the theme, smartly attired in plaid J. Crew oxford shirts.

The hotel is divided into two wings that hug Bald Head Cliff like outstretched arms welcoming the waves. A more generous setback from the cliff’s edge on one side provides room for an infinity pool and a large lawn dotted with comfy Adirondack chairs and fire pits, where nightly s’mores and storytelling bring guests together. Glass barriers on terraces and balconies preserve the view and provide just enough contemporary edge.

As one of the few hotels in the area that are open year-round, now, even in the dead of winter, guests and locals can nosh on Maine’s famed lobster roll at Nubb’s Lobster Shack. A native of Bath, Maine, Executive Chef Rick Shell takes his lobster rolls seriously, serving them up alongside fried clams, a raw bar, juicy burgers with pickled garden tomatoes, handcrafted cocktails with garden-picked ingredients and a wide selection of local craft beers from regional brewers in a hip space complete with vintage arcade games, exposed duct work, exposed brick, weathered wood and garage-style doors facing the sea that can be opened weather permitting.

Chef Shell is also serious about supporting local producers, with the menu at The Tiller Restaurant listing “family farmer friends” whose products contributed to the meal. “Food is all about regional flair,” remarked Shell. “We have great fun with our food producers.” Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, The Tiller is suspended above the Atlantic to provide panoramic ocean views and spectacular sunrises if you aren’t up for scrambling across boulders first thing in the morning.

Scenic lobstering cruises are one of many activites offered to provide guests with a "True to Maine" experience.

Debuting this past December, the 9,000-square-foot spa and fitness center boasts nine treatment rooms as well as a couple’s room with its own kitchen.

Treatments incorporate four premium product lines: Elemental Herbology, Sciote, Red Flower and Zents. Creative skincare and body treatments that bring the bounty of the outside in include an organic botanical poultice ritual and wild blueberry and sugar scrubs. A wellness philosophy created under the direction of Spa Director Dawn Page carries over to specialty items on the menu at The Tiller Restaurant (which are just as tasty and satisfying as the “regular” menu offerings) as well as daily morning yoga sessions. An adjacent semi-private 18-hole golf course is also available to guests.

Recreation leader Alex Bousquet heads up a full program of activities geared at providing guests with a taste of Maine hallmarks. Scenic lobstering cruises, tennis, hiking, biking, sea kayaking, fishing, paddle boarding, ice skating, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and helicopter tours of the lighthouses and coastlines are a small sampling of what’s available. Quaint towns dotting the area provide ample day-tripping fodder for shopping, dining and sightseeing. If there’s a performance at the Ogunquit Playhouse, you’ll want to be sure to get a ticket; 2017 will mark the 85th season for “America’s Foremost Summer Theatre,” which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Restaurants of note include the Roost Cafe in Ogunquit and the landmark Goldenrod Restaurant in York, which has been in operation since 1896 (you won’t be able to leave without picking up a piece of taffy, the colorful bands pulled, stretched and cut into pieces for all to see in the streetscape windows). sl Cliff House Maine is located an hour north of Boston and within driving distance of Portland, Maine, and New York City.

MODERN MARVEL West Coast style sets a new standard in Carmel Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung

70 slmag.net

Juxtaposed materials and sleek lines amp the curb appeal on this home in Carmel's Bridgewater.

Standing out as an original among its peers in Carmel’s Bridgewater, this edition’s featured residence is unique for its West Coast inspiration and open-plan design aesthetic.

With 10-foot ceilings on each of its three floors, and vast windows overlooking the golf course, this spacious, airy abode might just as well be perching atop a ragged bluff in Malibu as sitting on a golf course in Hamilton County. Adapting the West Coast inspirations to the elements in the Midwest, required outside-the-box thinking for designer Whittney Parkinson and architect John Beechy of MAWR Architecture and Interior Design.

“The design was definitely new for that neighborhood,” Parkinson says. “The (development design) committee wanted

us to use certain materials, so we had to do quite a lot of education. I think probably the most intriguing material we used was a true Brazilian ipe.”

Sustainably grown, and providing a very natural-looking contrast to the stark white materials used on the exterior, elsewhere, ipe is an extremely hard, and very expensive, wood from Brazil, which needs to be oiled three times a year to maintain its orange color and to keep it from greying. Because of MAWR's commercial experience, windows are constructed from commercial grade glass to provide protection from errant golf balls. The home’s exterior features a mixed palette of materials, including Fond du Lac limestone, a nod to the owner’s home state of Wisconsin. slmag.net

71

Generous use of natural light frees interior space from rigorous compartmentalization.

Originally designed with a courtyard in mind, the home's 11,000 square foot footprint in relation to its lot size eventually drove the construction towards incorporating an indoor-outdoor arrangement that now provides one of several focal points to the main floor. Planned and built by Chad Bruick of Outdoor Environments Group, this striking space with its sleek stone fireplace epitomizes the easy-flowing lifestyle, with glass walls that open up to create a seamless flow to the outside.

“I utilized crisp architectural lines and contrasted them with the natural textures of limestone, concrete finishes, and plantings which complemented the architecture of the home,” Bruick explains. “I wanted to achieve a balance of fitting the context of the community while still noticeably differentiating its landscape.”

To increase the visual appeal of the driveway, which is a central feature of the front landscaping, OEG finished it with special surface. Bruick amped the home’s unconditional edge by laying out the landscaping at 45 degree angles. Concrete planters at the home’s entry by Elements Concrete Studio complement the drive and soften the architecture leading to the front door.

With two small children, and a love of entertaining large groups, the owners sought a home that, in spite of its considerable 72 slmag.net

size, would at the same time provide both an intimate, familyfriendly environment and an open, crowd-friendly reception area.

They are particularly fond of the ultra-modern, highly functional open kitchen with features such as refrigerated drawers and a pop-up television. Created (as is the downstairs kitchen) by Rob Klein of Conceptual Kitchens & Millwork, the room combines functionality with comfort, as well as sight lines to the furthest reaches of the ground floor.

Realizing the dream of such a large and inviting space entailed the use of a lot of glass, an open floor plan, natural light and natural materials to create the sense of space without rigorous compartmentalization. Enamored of the soft light peculiar to the Pacific Northwest, the owners place a special emphasis on illumination. There are no recessed lights in the home, and lamps are carefully chosen for both function and design. There is a sense that whatever vantage point one occupies during the day, whether it be in the kitchen, or at the top of the curving lacquered staircase, the natural light intensifies the warmth and welcoming nature of the building. At night, the strategically positioned illumination shrinks the space into a warmer, more intimate whole, pulling everything together to balance the cool modern aspects of the design.

Strategic lighting placement anchors the space by day. By night, it compresses and softens.

Eight-inch-wide white oak plank flooring provides functionality with aesthetic appeal.

Throughout this fascinating residence, eclectic design elements abound. There are lamps made in Israel that were discovered in a little store in New York. The handmade wallpaper in the daughter’s room was shipped in from Germany. The paint in one private office is by European Fine Paint, and represents the very highest quality of automotive lacquer, imparting a deep translucent sheen to the ceiling. The same finish is used on the sweeping, Guggenheim-esque stairway that leads to the children’s space and golf chipping roof upstairs. Floors are constructed from 8-inch white oak planks, as opposed to the usual engineered wood so prevalent today. The wood was shipped directly from the lumberyard and finished on site. The 78 slmag.net

advantage to this type of flooring is that when the owners get tired of it, they can sand and stain them over and over.

Of all the custom work performed in the house, the owners are perhaps most proud of the outstanding work by an Amish cabinet maker from northern Kentucky, who built the cabinets in the bedrooms, the offices, the mudroom and the powder room.

“He was so excited by the design, and he completely understood the modern look we were looking for,” she enthuses. “He really stretched his limitations for us.”

Indeed, it would be fair to say that this opulent modernist dream home, where form and function can truly be said to converge, has set a new standard for Carmel design. sl

LA DOLCE VIDA

A Downtown landmark hits its stride Written by Neil Charles Photography by Kelley Jordan Since opening its doors almost exactly one year ago on East New York Street, Vida, the second newest addition to the Cunningham Restaurant Group (the most recent being Livery) has from day one delivered elevated cuisine to an increasingly discerning Indianapolis clientele in a setting that establishes a new benchmark for local eateries.

The brainchild of Executive Chef Carl Chambers, CRG President Mike Cunningham, and long-established local chef Layton Roberts, Vida offers impeccable and individualistic dining in an upscale but unstuffy setting. A combination of contemporary construction and artfully restored elements from the creaking old hulk that was once Amici’s, the building is now a vibrant focal point of the historic Lockerbie neighborhood.

Initially intending to demolish the entire structure, Cunningham, in collaboration with his long-time contractor Patrick Heitz and designer Loree Everette of Phanomen Design, drew up plans to provide the functionality required for a high-volume, cutting-edge restaurant.

“I don’t know how that building stayed in operation, the way it looked, or even remained standing; it had run its course,” Cunningham recalls. “We had to lift the building up and put a new foundation underneath it. We wanted to take it down; we had two different structural engineers inspect it, and both agreed it should be torn down.”

To allay the concerns of local preservation groups and win the necessary permitting, key original elements were incorporated into the new project, resulting in a superior structure both aesthetically and functionally.

The decor offers a testament to the range of flavors to be found on the ever-evolving menu.

Initially intended to be a culinary workshop and test kitchen to provide inspiration and recipes to the other restaurants in the Cunningham group, Vida quickly took on a life of its own once the possibilities became apparent.

“What started out to be a little test kitchen project turned out to be a fullblown restaurant,” Cunningham says. “Our executive chef came up with the idea of doing a test kitchen and building a restaurant around it. The reason we are open only five nights a week was that we wanted our staff to focus on Vida, then the facility would be available on off-hours for development.”

The restaurant’s hard-to-pigeonhole cuisine style has a strong classical influence with a laudable emphasis on high quality ingredients from wherever the best ingredients are to be found.

We change the menu every four weeks,” Chef Roberts says, noting Vida changed menus an estimated 20 times by its first anniversary. "I think the success of being really consistent in this restaurant is that almost every plate during the course of a week is touched by either myself or a sous-chef."

Roberts describes his cooking as rooted in classic French techniques with a lot of Middle-Eastern and African influence.

“I was trained by a chef who had worked in Iran; saffron is one of my favorite ingredients,” he notes. “We also take the insides of preserved lemons and juice them, then use them to finish a sauce instead of wine.”

The Vida dining room is rooted firmly in a polished present while hearkening the transformative process that keeps the place tied to its deeper historical roots.

Growing up in southern Indiana, with grandparents from the KentuckyWest Virginia border, Roberts learned how to pickle vegetables and cure meats at an early age, skills he puts to good use at Vida, where all charcuterie is produced in-house, including Kentucky-style hams. Freshness is key to his cooking, and greens do not get much fresher than the 450 lettuces a week the chefs pick from their hydroponic wall adjacent to the kitchen. Started in a facility in Irvington and transplanted twice a week, the greens grow a further three inches or so before they are picked for salads and garnish. The wall of greens has become a focal point of the restaurant, and a symbol of its quality.

With such regular menu changes (as we go to print, Vida is running a steakhouse menu), standout dishes come and go more rapidly than the seasons.

Expect such superb fare as foie gras with buttermilk beignets, or pork cheeks with guanciale and pickled fennel. Desserts from expert in-house pastry chef Hattie McDaniel may feature complicated cakes and tarts or a unique take on glazed donuts. Tasked with finding suitable vinous and spirited matches for the constantly evolving menu, Roddy Kirschenman, general manager and sommelier, has assembled an outstanding wine and spirits list drawing heavily on lesser-known producers and regions, as well as a few more familiar names for those preferring to stay closer to the path well-traveled.

At the core of Chef Roberts' philosophy, one suspects, is not so much a need to dazzle with new-fangled techniques or bizarre ingredients, but to deliver a truly memorable experience to the diner.

“I like to elevate things, but I really like to get something into every dish that fires the imagination,” he explains, “something that maybe sparks a memory of the best thing they ever had at home.”

To which we say that anyone who grew up eating food like this at home led a charmed childhood, indeed. sl Vida, located at 601 E. New York Street, is open from 5-10 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday and 5-11 p.m.

Friday-Saturday; the bar opens Tuesday-Saturday at 4:30 p.m. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday.

BEACH, BABY. One Ocean Resort & Spa, Atlantic Beach, Florida Written by Jeffrey Cohen Most Florida vacations are typically defined by one of three things: Gulf Coast “salt life” culture, buzzy South Florida fashion and nightlife, and Orlando family fun. Sitting pretty just across the Intracoastal Waterway from Jacksonville, One Ocean Resort & Spa refuses to fit conventional Sunshine State stereotypes, offering instead a bucolic beach retreat alternative that strikes a simultaneous balance between comfort and luxury.

The Atlantic Beach setting One Ocean calls home may come across as a bit sleepy at first blush, but once my wife, Jen, and I dug a little deeper, we quickly discovered a charming hamlet populated with a smattering of chic boutiques and eclectic eateries within walking distance of the hotel. Southern Grounds makes a 98 slmag.net

cozy spot in which to sit and sip from a globally influenced menu of direct-trade coffee drinks and local craft beers, accompanied by a soulful soundtrack of live acoustic music from bluesy duo Cassidy Lee and Ivan Pulley. Two blocks over, M Shack quells cravings for old-fashioned burgers and fries with Black Angus beef dressed nearly a dozen different ways, accompanied by homey, handspun milkshakes in creative flavors like marshmallow brûlée and Oreo cheesecake.

One Ocean’s enviable beachfront begs for exploration; its wide expanse of hard-packed sand is the perfect setting for leisurely barefoot strolls through the breaking waves as the sun comes up.

Remington Hotels completely updated the former Sea Turtle Inn in 2008 to reimagine the facility as a stylish, contemporary and completely idyllic getaway for couples and leisure travelers. Awash in shades of sand, sky and surf, the lobby greets guests with an elegant bar, a showy staircase and inviting sofas huddled around a soothing indoor fountain centerpiece. A small but fully realized gallery space just off the entry lures in arts-minded visitors to explore exhibits by an evolving slate of artists such as American lifestyle photographer Greg Whitaker.

The resort’s exemplary service starts even before visitors arrive, setting the tone for carefree stays laced with an underlying current of sweet Southern Hospitality. Guests don't even check-in in the

traditional sense; setting up a reservation online (and preordering favorite drinks and snacks for your complimentary in-room minibar) ahead of time means all the valet has to do when you pull up is ask your name and hand over your room keys.

And that’s just the start. Need clothes pressed? Dog walked?

Pregnant wife craving pickles in the middle of the night? All you have to do is ask. Summoning “one touch” service requires only a press of a button on the in-room phone.

The resort’s 193 well-appointed guest rooms and suites all boast floor-to-ceiling windows from which to drink in the Atlantic Ocean views and fresh sea breezes, along with luxe custom-designed beds, high-end linens and evening turn-down service.

A space-agey tunnel lined with cairn-like strings of rocks led us to dinner at the vibrant on-site Azurea restaurant, a highlight of our stay. A local dining destination recognized for its creative surf and turf-centric menus, the colorful eatery serves sumptuous East Coast snapper with tropical fruit chutney, outstanding lobster bisque, jumbo blue crab cakes seared in cast iron and garnished with ciderbraised greens, bacon and charred tomatoes — and a simply fantastic 16-ounce cowboy bone-in ribeye. Chef Jay Mendoza regularly emerges from the kitchen to make the dining room rounds and shake hands while educated, friendly servers stand ready to offer spot-on wine pairing for each course.

Another distinguishing feature of the property: One Ocean claims status as the only beachfront luxury hotel in Duval County to maintain a full-service spa. Guests indulge in a lavish selection of marine-themed treatments in therapy rooms overlooking the ocean. The signature One Ocean massage combines Swedish techniques and aromatherapy for ultimate relaxation, and the

seaweed/lavender-based Ocean Polish and Marine Detox Wrap left Jen feeling like a self-proclaimed “new woman.”

Jacksonville may not be the first destination that comes to mind for a Florida beach vacation, but One Ocean Resort & Spa makes it a well-advised option. The scenery and the service make the resort a popular spot for romantic getaways, weddings and smallish corporate events, as well.

Allegiant Airlines flies direct from Indianapolis to Jacksonville, delivering travelers on Thursdays and returning Sundays for conveniently accessible — and surprisingly affordable — longweekend winter escapes, with or without the kids. Speaking of kids, One Ocean’s Sea Turtle Kids Club keeps younger guests happily occupied with hands-on activities and adventures in the mornings and evenings so mom and dad can catch a break (and perhaps a much-needed happy hour to themselves). sl One Ocean Resort & Spa, 1 Ocean Blvd, Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233. Room rates start from $170. For more information and reservations, call 904.249.7402 or visit oneoceanresort.com.

INDIANAPOLIS HEBREW CONGREGATION CELEBRATES 160 YEARS Members and guests celebrated the 160th anniversary of Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, Indiana’s largest and Indianapolis’ oldest synagogue, Nov. 4-6.
