From the Editor-In-Chief
With my daughter, her runway models and Sophisticated Living publisher Eric Williams at the 2014 KMAC Couture event. Photo by Tony Bailey.
Growing up, my parents never swayed me towards a particular career path, instead allowing me to believe I could be whatever I wanted when I “grew up”. Given the fact that I chose a degree in anthropology may not have been the most lucrative from a fnancial standpoint, and has continued to garner head-scratching ever since when someone inquires about my background, but on the fipside, it allowed me to pursue something I was passionate about (I was genuinely interested in and excited about my classes) and then fgure out what in the world I was going to do with the “unique” skill set I had acquired. More important than the freedom they gave me was instilling the value of hard work and a can-do attitude through real-world leading by example, which allowed me to forge h headstrong into just about anything I set my mind to. A friend recently shared an article with me opining that rather than asking children what they want to be when they grow up, we should instead be asking what ch they want to do and encouraging them to explore a career path that matches their th interests. I’ve taken a similar approach with my daughter, and over the years her in stated career path has comically included everything from sniper to sommelier (the sta later of which might actually stick). lat I am a frm believer that what we pursue outside of our profession should be given equal weight, as it can have a big infuence on our overall quality of life and giv make wise and productive use of precious free time. For nearly a decade, when she’s m not in school or playing sports, my daughter has dabbled in fashion to varying no degrees. Te hobbyist aspect of it, I believe, is what keeps drawing her back, ever de since her frst runway presentation, at the tender age of 10 during the Lexington sin Fashion Collaborative Future of Fashion event. Whereas I look at a sewing machine Fa and see nothing but tears aand endless frustration, she sees limitless possibility, spurred on by the adoration of friends who get to serve as models and accolades from professional mentors such as Soreyda Benedit Begley. Her sewing studio is a hoarder’s haven; she hates to discard anything lest it be needed for some future project. As a result, there are boxes laden with fabric remnants, feathers, buttons, glitter, stencils, paint and a random assortment of fotsam and jetsam carefully labeled as “junk I need to keep”. Fortunately I am nowhere near being a neat freak and respect the creative process (as long as said junk doesn’t migrate outside her studio). Tis April will mark the fourth year in a row her designs have been selected to show on the runway as part of KMAC Couture, a beneft for the Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft. One of her favorite events as the “clothes” are created out of alternative materials, this year she’ll be using rock candy, licorice, honeycomb packing material, silk butterfies, moss and a host of other materials to create a trio of gowns. As a parent, enduring the stress and late nights that result from fnding the time to make certain she gets everything done each year in the midst of so many other commitments occasionally prompts me to question whether or not the efort is worth it. In the end, seeing her designs go from sketches on copy paper to fnished pieces on the runway and her ensuing ear-to-ear smile makes it all worthwhile. KMAC Couture is schedule for April 16.

TO LEXINGTON WITH LOVE South American natives build strong bonds around family and farm in the Bluegrass Written by Bridget Williams Photography by Andrew Kung
Traversing down an undulating drive, a familiar Bluegrass scene unfolds: open pasture on either side of the roadway sprinkled with sturdy barns and handsome horses languidly grazing. Rounding a bend, an unexpected Norman-style home – prominently positioned for panoramic viewing of the bucolic backdrop – comes in to view. Te French-inspired architecture is pulchritudinous packaging for a home whose “bones” date back centuries and whose contents span continents. Dubbed Santa Escolastica, a moniker given to the farm when the current owners acquired the property nearly three decades ago, the property’s use as a working farm dates to the late 1700s, making 24 slmag.net
it a contemporary of the nearby Jack Jouett homestead, which has been restored as a historic site. It isn’t until you cross the threshold that the commonality becomes clear. Looking to the left and right of the doorway, deep recesses in the drywall frame what appear to be the walls of a log cabin. “When we purchased the home, the original walls and foors were hidden,” explained the wife, a South American native who moved here with her husband, a prominent and passionate player in the horse racing industry who had been coming to Keeneland since the age of 16. “When he proposed, he asked if I would consider living in Kentucky one day. His dream was so big and contagious that I had to go along for the ride,” she said.
Te original walls and foor of the late 1700s cabin were discovered by accident. Meticulously restored, they serve as a ftting backdrop for equine-related memorabilia from around the world.
Te bright plumes of ceremonial skirts hung side-by-side are a focal point of the great room.
slmag.net

The innocuous act of hanging a picture shortly after acquiring the property led the wife to a fortuitous discovery: the walls of the original one-room cabin. Stripping away subsequent renovations, they were pleased to fnd that that walls and foors were in pristine condition, including burn marks on one wall where pots were removed from the fire and hung to simmer. Now a cozy living room, the rustic environs are ideally suited for an array of pieces reflective of the homeowners’ South American heritage and track successes around the globe. Te wife beams with pride and palpable enthusiasm as she grabs one of several intricately woven bridles hanging near the freplace and highlights the handiwork of gauchos who fashioned the pieces from cowhide. As iconic to Argentineans as cowboys are to Americans, each example is unique, refecting the handiwork
26 slmag.net
and heritage of its maker. A plethora of tomes related to architecture are found in the bookshelves and scattered on tabletops; the wife remarked her husband’s love of architecture is second only to his love of horses. A hewn beam that formed a large doorway in a secondary room added to the original cabin (now the foyer), prompts the wife to postulate that it was originally utilized for sheltering livestock. Tat same opening now provides entrée to a great room added by the couple 15 years ago. The home serves as a repository for a large collection of furniture imported from Brazil, ranging in style from rustic to ornate and refective of the varied cultural infuences found throughout the country. Surmounting a table in the foyer is a framed feathered child’s headpiece from an Amazonian tribe.
Vibrant plumes that comprise a pair of feathered ceremonial skirts are preserved in shadowboxes by Cross Gate Gallery and are prominently displayed in the great room, which allows the fine craftsmanship to be fully appreciated and admired. Displayed atop an ornately carved solid wood console table from Brazil are engraved puñales and verijeros, embellished knives carried by gauchos. Though interior designer Caroline Frazier conceived the design of the great room 15 years ago, its timeless quality resonates today. To match the scale of the space, Frazier had the chocolate velvet sofas, cofee table and banded natural fber rug custom made. Windows of varying sizes were left bare or nearly so by design. “No neighbors equals no need for curtains,” explained the wife. Placed side-by-side on an antique French chest are two equine statues memorializing the husband’s most successful
horses. “We are simple people and to achieve such high honors is very special,” said the wife. In recent years the wife has relied on the guidance of Isabel Ladd to guide her interior design decisions. Tough they have decidedly diferent approaches – Isabel’s “more is more” versus the wife’s “less is more” style – meeting in the middle has allowed Ladd to incorporate new layers of color and texture via art, textiles and upholstery that refect the homeowners’ dual lives in Kentucky and South America. Frequently making stealth visits to the farm to freshen up the décor when the homeowners are out of the country, the wife said she is often surprised (pleasantly so), when she walks through the door upon her return. Among Ladd’s introductions are paintings by Cross Gate Gallery artists Peter Williams and Andre Pater.

Displayed near the freplace in what was the original cabin, a collection of intricately woven bridles highlights the handiwork of gauchos who fashioned the pieces from cowhide.
With so many alterations and additions, the house could have easily become disjointed, but the current homeowners were careful to create a circular fow from room-to-room, which the wife points out is particularly suited for frequent visits from her grandsons who fnd the layout ideal for bike riding. Situated in-between the great room and kitchen, the dining room displays the artwork that most resonates with the husband. Château et Cheveaux is a vibrant piece by French painter Raoul Dufy (1877-1953) depicting a grand Norman mansion with horses and carriages transporting people to and from the house. During his apprenticeship as a horseman in his youth, the husband lived and worked at the very French château depicted,
and the wife remarked that the artwork serves as an accurate representation of his life when he was learning there. Additional examples of gaucho-made bridles are found hanging in the family’s “everyday entrance,” a low-ceilinged room with an exposed cabin wall and hewn beams over honeycolored knotty pine beadboard on the ceiling. In the same manner she appreciates the craftsmanship of the gauchos, the wife exuberantly pulls back the Oriental rug to demonstrate the eccentricities of the original foor that pay homage to the ingenuity of its installers generations ago. Sharing wall space are illustrations by Argentine Florencio Molina Campos and a pastel by Andre Pater.

Sheathed in knotty pine, the kitchen and its vaulted, exposedbeam ceiling makes quite an impression. Continuing the intentional mish-mash of styles that works elsewhere in the home, a French Provincial-style bench with muted kilim upholstery is pulled up to one side of the turned leg farmhouse table. De rigueur when the original cabin was built and today, a colonial corner cupboard and a Federal-style highboy are among the antiques in the light-flled space.
Refecting on her years traveling between South American and Lexington, the wife remarked that, “People have always been very kind to us.” Both husband and wife went on to become American citizens. Growing up in Rio and spending so much time near the ocean, she said that coming to Kentucky required her to see things from a diferent perspective. “When I am here I am surrounded by a sea of green,” she says. sl slmag.net

SINGULAR SENSATION Park City and Canyons combine to fashion America's largest ski resort Written by Eric Williams In March of 2105 a plan was approved to create the largest ski resort in America by combining Park City and Canyons. Te $50 million dollar capital plan is the most impactful capital program in history of the US ski industry. Conveniently located 40 minutes from downtown Salt Lake and home to many skiing and non-skiing events such as the famous Sundance Film Festival, the new merger offers 7,300-acres of skiable terrain with 14 bowls, over 300 trails, and 17 on-mountain restaurants, linked by a 22-mile network of 41 lifts. Tis merger ofers an unrivaled wealth of skiing for all levels with enough trails to occupy an extended trip. Beyond its sheer size, the new set up enhances the experience by not having to choose to stay in the charming town of Park City, filled with restaurants, galleries and bars, or at the base of Canyons, which has better access to the slopes. Now you can lodge at either and ski the interconnected terrain. Among the many improvements that have taken place include the Interconnect Gondola, an eight-passenger, high-speed 38 slmag.net
two-way gondola from the base of the existing Silverlode Lift at Park City to the Flatiron Lift at Canyons. Tis will mark the frst gondola at Park City Mountain Resort since "Te Gondola" was dismantled in 1997. Te new Miners Camp restaurant at the base of the Silverlode Lift is the main dining hub, with 500 indoor seats and a top-of-the-line kitchen and culinary experience. Te dining stations ofer fresh salads, burgers, pizza, Mediterranean wraps and chili. Te dining is cafeteria style, however the quality of the food feels more like a carefully crafted meal at an upscale restaurant. Tis location is a great spot to refuel, warm up and head back out on the slopes. With its 360-degree views of the Wasatch Mountains, Lookout Cabin, located atop Lookout Peak, is the perfect on-mountain dining experience. The well-crafted menu offers soups, salads and a few heartier dishes including my favorites: mac and cheese with cubed bacon and sea bass with bok choy on a polenta cake. Te 1400-square-foot deck features a striking view of the Canyons and is a perfect spot for an après-ski cocktail.

Te Grand Summit Hotel (parkcitymountain.com) is a ski in / out hotel located conveniently between the Orange Bubble Express and the Red Pine Gondola. The amenities include a spa, health and ftness center, childcare, ski valet and an outdoor heated pool. Room accommodations range from a standard room up to a fourbedroom penthouse to accommodate groups of all sizes. Under the culinary leadership of executive chef Manual Rozehmal, Te Farm restaurant, located at the Grand Summit resort, ofers an exceptional dining experience. Originally from a small village in the mountains of Germany, Rozehmal started cooking professionally at age 15 at Le Meridien in Munich through a three-year apprentice program while also attending culinary school. After receiving his culinary degree, Rozehmal continued cooking in Germany and Switzerland until moving to Dana Point, California. to work as a junior sous chef with
world-renowned Chef Michael Mina at Stonehill Tavern. Missing the mountains from his hometown in Germany, Rozehmal was drawn to Park City. Chef Rozehmal relies heavily on local purveyors to source the ingredients. Both the menu and wine list are extensive, the trout is a must have and the charcuterie board is a perfect starter for the table. High West Distillery & Saloon is a hot spot for unwinding after a day of skiing. Proprietor David Perkins moved to Park City in 2004 to pursue his passion to make whiskey. He grew up in Georgia and learned the secrets of making good whiskey from distillers in Kentucky and Scotland. His background as a biochemist in the biopharmaceutical industry plays a big part in his approach to making great whisky. Te Bison Burger and the High West Rendezvous Rye (served neat of course) are sure to please and a wonderful way to wrap-up the trip. sl slmag.net

Curating a Lifestyle: More Tan Face Value
Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers
Left to right: A more restrained trend in men’s jewelry limited the marketability of this bold watch encrusted with diamonds, sold $10,200.Te gold Rolex Day-Date became popularly known as “Te President” after Dwight Eisenhower made wearing the watch synonymous with power and authority. Spirited bidding for this example sent the price soaring to $21,000.
Most would agree that time is a precious asset–of which there is just never enough. Just two centuries ago, our only reference for the passage of time was a lengthening shadow, the chime of a clock or (for a few) a coveted pocket watch. In the 21st century however, time is measured in nanoseconds, reminders are ever-present, and it is even malleable. Participating in a live, online auction? Your clicked bid can competitively compete with bidders sitting in the auction gallery. Need to keep an eye on the clock? Look around¬–chances are there are several visual indicators of time within just a few feet of where you sit right now. Miss a great play during the big game? Simply rewind. With a culture focused on time (and how to fll every moment), a nod to an accessory that emphasizes the importance of time seems right (ahem) on time. Wristwatches are both a convenient marker of the precious commodity of time and a tangible asset in their own right. Given

their popularity as a collectible and an accessory, the history of wristwatches might surprise you. While pocket timepieces were all the rage for men in the 19th century, fashionable and afuent ladies donned watch bracelets. It was not until requisitioned for military use that wristwatches found favor among men; with early versions created by simply mating a pocket watch with a leather band. Patek Philippe was of the earliest makers of purposefully built wristwatches. Te esteemed frm pioneered the feld with a perpetual calendar, split-seconds hand, chronograph and minute repeaters, and their luxurious timepieces continue to lead the market for collectible watches today. Watch collecting tends to be a male-dominated hobby. Traditionally, men are more limited in their choice of accessories than women, and an interest in watches complements a host of men’s interests. A choice of watch is more than a statement of style. A bold, rugged sports watch conveys an interest and

enthusiasm for personal challenge, nature and competition. A sleek modern watch can signal someone who is comfortable with change and innovation; a hefty gold timepiece encrusted with gems indicates power and afuence. In terms of value, vintage watches have appreciated as steadily as any other asset–with fluctuations from time to time–but solid performance among the blue-chip sector (think Rolex, Patek Philippe and Cartier). Major auction houses now conduct several auctions per year devoted to luxury watches, but beginners may want to start with an expert local estate jeweler or trusted luxury auction frm who can advise on authenticity, marketability and maintenance. Highest prices are paid for unique pieces that were innovative in function, but timeless in design. Understanding the history and evolution of watch features will beneft savvy collectors.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce Roadster 0-60MPH: 2.9 seconds / Pricing from $530,000 ‘‘Te Superveloce is the purest, most sports-oriented and fastest series production Lamborghini ever. Te Roadster version represents our commitment to satisfying our passionate clients with immensely emotional driving dynamics combined with an extraordinary open-air experience,’’ said Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. Te naturally aspirated, 6.5-liter V12 produces 750hp and a top speed of 217mph. A highly innovative 7-speed ISR transmission transfers the engine’s power to all four wheels through a Haldex Generation IV 4WD system. Driving dynamics are further enhanced by an adaptive Magneto Rheological Suspension, a pushrod damping system and Lamborghini Dynamic Steering. Music to any car lover’s ears, the engine’s growl can be fully appreciated thanks to the removable hard top, crafted from two panels of carbon fber and stowable in the luggage compartment, as well as a descending rear power window. Te frst series produced, open-top Lamborghini to bear the name Superveloce, a limited series of 500 units will be available worldwide (lamborghini.com). 2016 Rolls-Royce Dawn 0-60MPH: 4.9 seconds / Pricing from $320,000 “Quite simply, it is the sexiest Rolls-Royce ever built,” said Torsten Mueller-Oetvoes, Chief Executive Ofcer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars of the new Rolls-Royce Dawn, the world’s only true modern four-seater super-luxury drophead. Among the unique driving enhancements is the standard Satellite Aided Transmission, which utilizes GPS data to allow the car to see beyond what the driver sees, anticipating their next move based on location and driving style. It uses this information to select the most appropriate gear from the Dawn’s 8-speed ZF gearbox to ensure the driver is able to appropriately exploit the power from the Rolls-Royce 6.6-liter, 563hp twin-turbo V12. The Dawn is Rolls-Royce’s most powerful full four-seat drophead motorcar to date, and thanks to its advanced engineering, is lighter and more fuel-efcient than the majority of compromised 2+2 convertibles in the market. While holding the distinction of being the least feet-footed among its peers on these pages, driving a little slower will allow you to better hear the oohs and aahs as you cruise by (rolls-roycemotorcars.com). Koenigsegg Regera 0-60MPH: 2.8 seconds / Pricing from $1,890,000 If you thought Swedish ingenuity was limited to fat-packed furniture from IKEA, take a look at Regera, a limited production plug-in hybrid supercar by Koenigsegg. Derived from a Swedish verb meaning “to reign”, the Regera aims to be the most powerful production car ever. Backing up the company’s ambitions is a twin-turbo 5.0-liter V8 engine that works in concert with a trio of UASA electric motors. Te Direct Drive Battery can be charged either by the combustion engine or through the charging port. Upping the cool factor is the Regera’s status as the frst fully robotized car; the ability to operate all body closures completely automatically and simultaneously from the remote or a Smartphone calls to mind a creature from a Transformer flick. Most impressive is the mechanism of the fully foldable, top-mounted carbon fber rear wing that disappears into the body, enhancing the car’s elegance while parked and reducing drag while cruising (koenigsegg.com).

Te Classic Dessert Wine – Tokaji Aszú
Te process by which the great dessert wines of Tokaj, Hungary are made is a fascinating one. Every grape has sugar in it. For a dry wine, the sugar and yeast combine to make alcohol, with the sugar being consumed during fermentation. In contrast, dessert wines keep or get their sweetness at the end of the process, as fermentation is stopped before completion or is unable to remove all residual sugar, thereby leaving behind that luscious sweetness. Here is the way they do it in Tokaj: Te grapes are allowed to stay on the vine after the normal harvest, creating more sugar to leave behind after fermentation. Te grapes get botrytis, or noble rot, as they are attacked by the fungus Botrytis. Te fungus punctures the skins of the grapes and causes dehydration, leaving them looking rotten or like raisins. As a result, grapes made by botrytis and late harvest produce a fraction of the wine that ripe grapes do, and this, of course, is one of the primary reasons dessert wines are expensive. Referred to as Aszú in Hungarian, the process is part of the name of the great wines of Tokaji Aszú. Te methods of late harvest and botrytis are how Aszú is made, but the story of how this began is a combination of mystery and legend. Why in the world would anyone leave grapes on the vine to rot without fully being aware they would make majestic wines of sweet perfection? As is the case with many a great invention, it happened by mistake. In ancient times, vineyard workers were told when to harvest

the grapes by the landowners. One legend purports that a vineyard owner was away at war or detained by illness or other situations. Te workers, being afraid to harvest without the direction of their owner, left the grapes on the vine, which caused them to over-ripen and be attacked by botrytis. When the owner fnally returned months after the usual harvest, he was aghast at the appearance of the grapes and mad at the vineyard workers inaction. Despite thinking all was lost, he ordered the vineyard workers to harvest and make wine from the “rotten” grapes. Te resulting wine was rich, lush, sweet and delicious, and all was forgiven. While the story seems a bit magical, it is probably rooted in some truth. Botrytis simply cannot occur in most vineyards, and when it does, it is not consistent. Of the grape varieties in the region of Tokaj, the most important is Furmint, followed by Hárslevelű and Muscat Lunel. Indigenous to Hungary, Furmint is very susceptible to botrytis and represents the majority of the Aszú blend. Botrytis is widely assisted in Hungary by the confuence of two rivers: the Bodrog and Tisza. Te presence of rivers or bodies of water increases humidity, which is essential for the fungus to grow. Additionally, most growers will make multiple passes through a vineyard, days or even weeks apart, to pick individual bunches of overripe botrytized grapes and in some cases even individual berries.
Before 2013 Aszú was added to a dry base wine to create varying levels of sweetness that were measured in units of Puttonyos. Te more Aszú they added, the sweeter the wine. You can still find labels that list the range of Puttonyos on a scale of three-to-six. However, after 2013, all Tokaji Aszú will be at a sweetness level of five-to-six Puttonyos. These are intensely sweet, complex and lush dessert wines. Te fnal level of Tokaji is Eszencia, which is 100 percent Aszú. Tis is an unbelievable wine that is thick and viscous, giving you the feeling that the gravity in the glass is diferent than outside the glass. Te closest equivalent could be honey but with crisp balancing acidity. It has a very low percentage of alcohol as no yeast can survive to ferment more than a couple of percentages. Tis is the remedy reputed to bring czars back from their deathbed and what inspired King Louis XV to call it the wine of kings and king of wines. I eschew dessert not because I don’t enjoy it, but simply because I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle, saving the carbohydrates for something I may appreciate more. One way to satiate my sweet tooth is with a complex dessert wine, which serves as dessert in a glass. If you are good with diving into a dessert, when pairing it with a dessert wine, be sure that the wine is as least as sweet as the dessert. If the dessert is sweeter then the wine, the wine will seem sour. Truth be told, very few wines pair well with a dessert that is over-the-
top sweet. Suitable accompaniments for Aszú are crème brûlée, fruit tarts and certainly blue-veined cheeses. I recommend tasting the following two wines to give you an idea of Aszú’s sublime deliciousness. Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos Béres Estate 2008 Intense color of full golden with copper highlights. Flavors of vanilla, orange preserves, dried apricot, honey, beeswax and light minerals. A fantastic wine with a rich, sweet and seductive round texture that is extra long. Finishes with balancing acidity. A classic dessert wine that pairs well with blue cheeses. Tokaji Eszencia Barta Estate 2013 Very intense yellow/gold color. An amazing wine that is as thick as lemon curd with unbelievable unctuousness, yet with fresh acidity. Full body, full favored and full sweetness with the favors of Acacia honey, lemon curd, baking spice and mandarin orange marmalade. It boasts an infnite fnish that cannot be forgotten. When wine is said to be the nectar of the gods, I am quite sure this is what they mean! sl A Certifed Wine Educator, Harper is one of 140 professionals in North America and 220 worldwide who have earned the title Master Sommelier.

A BIG TIME IN BIG SKY COUNTY Te Resort at Paws Up Written by Bridget Williams Some of my earliest childhood memories involve camping; paramount in my brain’s treasured cache is an epic grade school road trip “out west,” that cemented my perpetual fondness for that part of the country. While I’m apt to say that I am just as happy in a tent deep in the woods as in a posh hotel suite, truth be told, the older I get the more I appreciate creature comforts. Satisfying this recreational dichotomy is not as difcult as one would imagine as I discovered last fall on a visit to Te Resort at Paws Up, a vast 37,000-acre ranch in the heart of Montana Big Sky Country. Let’s start with scenery: it’s the kind that inspires slow panning in epic movies; the kind whose grandness puts selfimportance into perspective, a reminder of being a small player on a very vast stage; the kind that inspires you to breathe deeply, chuck the Smartphone and feel like a kid again; the kind that reminds you how good it feels to be in the outdoors; and, the kind that inspires a feeling of wonderment certainly shared by Captain Meriwether Lewis in 1806 as he climbed atop Sentinel Rock on the property looking for the Marias River. As someone who has trouble sitting still for fve minutes, I could have easily spent an eternity watching sunlight flit across the surface of the famed Blackfoot River as the swiftly running current gradually honed the pebbled riverbed to a smooth polish.

Located just 35 miles from the Missoula International Airport, the resort came about organically, beginning with scattered guest houses erected on the owners’ favorite spots. Formerly a working ranch, snow-capped mountain peaks ring the acreage, ofering excellent seasonal skiing within a two-hour drive. Officially opened in June 2005, The Resort at Paws Up offers accommodations for up to 250 guests in 28 rustic-chic vacation homes and 30 “glamping” tents. Te circa 1915 farmhouse residence of property owners Dave and Nadine Lipson overlooks the heart of the resort, a roughly 600acre “village” where livestock barns and sales facilities have been meticulously converted into a state-of-the-art conference center, reception building, dining house and high-end trading post (just in case you forgot to pack your Stetson). In the old bull barn, now a 10,000-square-foot conference center, original foorboards creak underfoot; their rustic nature is an interesting contrast to the art glass and gleaming chandeliers that also inhabit the space. One could easily imagine a Ralph Lauren ad campaign photo shoot being staged in the chic environs. Dave is the architecture buff, while Nadine oversees all of the interior design. One of the most interesting buildings in the village is a functioning one-room schoolhouse with a current enrollment of four pupils.
In the "village", livestock barns and sales facilities have been converted into a conference center, reception building, and restaurants.
One of 28 Big Timber homes
A short gander from the reception building, a brand new 11,000-square-foot activities barn next to the stables serves as a centralized jumping off point for the plethora of available activities. Dually rugged and refined, high-tech interior accoutrements are camoufaged behind upholstered leather walls, galvanized metal and stone. Clever windows in the kids’ retail section of the Wilderness Outpost, the “WO,” allow curious horses to peek their heads in for a look and a pet on the nose. Te small high-end retail boutique opens into a soaring-ceilinged space reminiscent of a contemporary cathedral. Tented accommodations are arranged into a series of fully supported camps a short distance ride from the village. The Moonlight, River, Creekside, Pinnacle and Clifside camps are far enough removed to lend the impression of a backcountry adventure without the hassle of actually trekking into the wilderness. One- and two-bedroom tents, ranging in size from 565 to 1,030-square-feet, are clustered around an alfresco dining pavilion with a long communal table, living room with fireplace and bar where guests enjoy a chef-prepared hearty breakfast (the French toast made with local Rockport Hutterite Colony banana bread and banana caramel sauce is a must try) and seasonally-inspired dinner (think fresh fish, grilled beef

tenderloin, chestnut soup, grilled romaine with maple-walnut dressing and warm bread pudding served in a mason jar). A pair of on-site Camping Butlers assigned to each camp ensures guests’ needs are amply and quickly met. Te canvas tents, erected on dedicated wooden platforms, are anything but primitive, with electricity, feather king-sized beds, western chic furniture, copper or jetted soaking tubs in the en-suite bathroom, and a private deck. Seven of the 28 Big Timber homes have a glamping tent in their backyard, an ideal solution for a house divided on which accommodation style to choose. Each home is assigned a zippy bright green Kia Soul for getting around the resort. Ranging in size from one-to-four bedrooms (1,600-3,300 square-feet), each luxurious home boasts original artwork, cozy woodburning freplaces, a fully equipped kitchen and laundry room, and cowboy chic furnishings. Repeat guests may be surprised to spy a photo from their previous sojourn in a frame on the nightstand; it’s just one example of innumerable small gestures that combine to create a truly unique experience. Amply spaced for privacy but not far enough to feel isolated, the site placement of the homes is ideal for large groups or extended families traveling en masse.

Ringing the edge of a picturesque meadow where horses languidly snack on prairie grasses a short walk from the Big Timber homes is “Spa Town,” comprised of 11 stand-alone treatment tents (in colder months treatments are conducted in an adjacent cabin). Spa Manager Laura Russell makes salt and sugar body scrubs from herbs and fowers picked on property and Montana-made honey. Unique treatments include the heavenly 120-minute “Last Best Massage,” in-home “Suite Dreams” massages, children’s treatments and night massages, where a hand-held lantern illuminates the path to your treatment tent and the rhythmic concert of crickets and a glimpse of the starry, starry sky all but guarantees a state of blissful relaxation. Group yoga is ofered several days a week. When it came time to select from the menu of available late fall activities, I decided to go way out of my comfort zone, choosing cattle driving and rappelling (in addition to becoming a regular at the spa and lacing up my trail running shoes daily to explore sections of more than 25-miles of hiking trails).

Adventure and autonomy are recurring themes that have always drawn colorful characters to the American West. Paws Up is no exception. Most notable among the infnitely fascinating staf is poetry-reciting, epic mustache-wearing, draft horse-driving Cowboy Steve. Adding to the already colorful cast of characters are artists, artisans, musicians, and experts in yoga, horsemanship and outdoor skills who are brought in for special programs throughout the year. For this inexperienced equestrienne, driving cattle was a pinnacle experience. I saddled up with a Stetson on my head and a resolute pounding in my heart, wondering how the motley crew of “city folk” united for the day’s adventure could possibly convince a few hundred head of cattle to move across two vast pastures. Although being a cowgirl is definitely not in my future (I was chided on more than one occasion for “splitting the herd,” as I was enamored with riding through the middle of the pack of bulky bovines), the experience of seeing a six-hour-old calf make the trek alongside its mother and speeding up to a sprightly gallop to help round up a wayward member of the herd was exhilarating. slmag.net

Equally heart-pounding for obviously diferent reasons was rappelling of a rock face the equivalent of a 17-story building perched on a bluf another 100-feet above the river.

Near the halfway point, I spied a massive nest with a dozing bald eagle in it, which allowed me to temporarily relax my death grip on the rope and savor the descent.

Dining Pavilion at Clifside Camp
A typical day for children ages six-to-12 may include pony or horseback rides, spending time with animals in the petting zoo, archery, arts and crafts, a feld trip to a nearby authentic ghost town (note: it’s a fun day trip for adults too), mining for gems in the sapphire-rich dirt and fashioning finds into jewelry. I was enamored with the kiddywampus tree house and the endless adventures, both real and imagined launched from within its walls. Teens can rappel, raft, canoe and fsh, among other peer-centric pursuits. A new evening children’s program and available after-hour care ensures “everyone gets exactly the vacation they want,” said Kecskes. Fresh air and jam-packed days inspire Montana-sized appetites, and the Lipson’s are staunchly committed to supporting local farmers as well as providing top-notch dining experiences, frequently recruiting winemakers, sommeliers and guest chefs from 64 slmag.net

HOME AGAIN Dominican Republic native Miguel Rivas returns to his culinary roots as Executive Chef at Brasabana Written by Bridget Williams Photography by Andrew Kung
Te familiar tale of an aspiring young chef learning the trade at their mother’s elbow was not the path taken by Miguel Rivas, executive chef at Brasabana. Although the Dominican Republic native is quick to point out his mother’s culinary prowess, it wasn’t until he moved to New York City that the need to find a job found him in the kitchen. From that point, hard work and happenstance worked their magic. One could imagine Rivas’ story unfolding on the big screen: Starting out as a dishwasher in a kosher catering business in the Big Apple, the head chef notices his gumption, takes him under his tutelage and teaches him the basics of cooking. He starts out with the unglamorous work of peeling seemingly endless quantities of potatoes. With the basics mastered, he enrolls in culinary school at the urging of his mentor and lands a coveted post-graduate internship at Jean-Gorges, the jewel in acclaimed Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s culinary empire. After further refning his skills there, he becomes head cook at Patria, working under Douglas Rodriguez, dubbed the “Godfather of Nuevo Latino Cuisine,” and rediscovers the flavors of his childhood (cue a hearttugging fashback scene of a young Rivas standing in a dramatically lit kitchen watching his mother chopping fresh vegetables).

Tough French technique formed the basis of his classical training, Rivas explained that Rodriguez’ style really grabbed his attention: “We were cooking with the ingredients of my youth but in new ways that were fresh and exciting.” Te desire for a slower pace led him to join family in Kentucky where his path crossed with the GM from Azur. Rivas and Jeremy Ashby, executive chef and co-owner at Azur, shared a common interest in Latino cuisine and together decided that Lexington was ready for Cuban-style restaurant. Ideally timed with a resurgence of US interest in Cuban culture and a warming of ties between the two countries, Brasabana, located in Commonwealth Plaza of Lane Allen Road, seeks to completely immerse patrons in Latin culture. Inside the restaurant, walls are painted shades of bright bluegreen, yellow and persimmon to refect a Cuban color scheme. Just as lively is an array of paintings in various sizes with subject matter encompassing everything from horse racing to flamenco dancing by Lexington-based artist Enrique Gonzalez. Monthly “Havana Nights” feature a demonstration by The Salsa Center followed by lessons for those with enough bravado. A conga line breaks out from time-to-time, picking up participants as it snakes its way around the tables. “Tapas Tuesdays” feature a selection of three tapas, each paired with a shot of tequila (the restaurant boasts one of the largest tequila selections in Lexington). Rivas’ varied life experiences are woven like a rich tapestry into the cuisine at Brasabana, though he is quick to point out that because of his formal training, “Tere is a little bit of French style in every dish.” In the same fashion that it’s sister restaurant, Azur, has earned critical acclaim by serving the freshest food with the highest quality ingredients, Rivas “stays as local as possible” and incorporates a plethora of fresh fruits and vegetables. “Latin cooking is based on fresh ingredients; there just isn’t a place for many frozen or pre-packaged ingredients,” he explained, adding that fruit and vegetable-based salsas are made daily to ensure the quality and consistency of taste and texture.

Cuban cuisine bears the influence of Spanish, African, Caribbean and French styles, all of which are discernable in both the lunch and dinner menus. Guests are presented with a basket of crispy, warm plantain chips and salsa fresca to warm up the palette while perusing the menu. Take it up another notch with the Havana Heat, a specialty cocktail that blends Svedka grapefruit jalapeno vodka, habanero-infused simple syrup and house-made sour mix. From the salads to dessert, each course presented is as colorful as the space in which it is being served, and the layers of favor are refective of the myriad cultural infuences. Rather than seasonal variations, Rivas changes the menu based on customer response, retaining a few mainstays (so as not to cause a riot among regulars) while introducing new offerings from time-to-time to keep things interesting. Perennial menu favorites include the Peruvian Chicken (herb marinated and grilled chicken breast served with cilantro pesto rice, pepper salad, garlic papaya mojo and sweet plantain); Ropa Vieja (classic Cuban slow-cooked shredded beef with tomatoes, peppers and onion served with beans, rice and tostones); and the Havana Nueva (Cuban-style slow-roasted pork cooked in garlic citrus marinade, served with congris, sweet plantain, fried yuca and guacamole). A childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu is available with something to appeal to even the most persnickety progeny. The bold flavors of Brasabana are a welcome addition to Lexingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burgeoning and increasingly diverse dining scene. sl Located at 841 Lane Allen Road, Brasabana is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner and Sunday brunch.
