Your Wine Collection PREMIERE

INVESTMENT FEATURE

INSURANCE FOR

A true wine enthusiast understands the rewards of owning an expansive collection. The pride that goes into nurturing a bottle, anticipating its peak age, and then enjoying its flavor is gratifying.

To protect your collection, you may consider purchasing wine insurance, especially if you store your collection in your own wine cellar. If you own a large, valuable array of wines, it is wise to insure your collection through a valuable articles policy.

You can either insure the collection under a blanket amount, such as $50,000—or, if your collection contains individual high-value bottles, you can schedule each bottle.

Policy Inclusions Wine insurance policies may include the following: • Protection against damages due to fire, theft, or accidental breakage • Protection against damage caused by a mechanical breakdown to your climate control unit • Protection against label damage in a fire, flood, or other natural disaster (for many rare, vintage wines, the label must be intact for the wine to hold its value) • Access to vendors who ship, buy, and sell wine; vendors who store wine in another location; vendors who offer security systems for your collection; and vendors offering temperaturecontrol systems • Guidance for how to best store your collection, especially when building or renovating your wine cellar

Storage Recommendations If you house a collection in your home, consider the following recommendations to reduce damage to your wine: • Do not store chemicals, paint, or odor-producing materials near your collection. These items can permeate through the cork and spoil the wine.

• Do not store wine near heaters or sunlight, or in areas that are susceptible to flooding, such as beneath a bathroom or laundry room. Also, avoid placing wine in areas of the home that are beneath or next to a home theater which causes excess vibrations.

• Store wine at 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The humidity in a wine storage should also be 6575%. Anything above or below that amount can damage the label or cork.

• Purchase an alarm system to prevent loss caused by theft, temperature changes and moisture.

When selecting an alarm, purchase one that sends a message directly to your mobile device.

You’ve invested in your collection. We’re here to help you protect it.  EXPERT CONTRIBUTOR ALAINA MCWHORTER PRIVATE CLIENT RISK ADVISOR TOWNE INSURANCE 703-944-4540

Whatever Moves You. With luxury residences, incredible amenities, and panoramic views of one of the mid-Atlantic’s largest harbors, Harbor’s Edge is a premier retirement community like no other.

Comprised of two magnificent towers that have redefined the Norfolk skyline, this architectural gem is a place where seniors can experience whatever moves them.

“It really is like living in a five-star resort,” said Neil Volder, CEO, and developer of Harbor’s Edge. “We create a true lifestyle experience for every resident.”

This elevated level of luxury has attracted national attention, and in January 2023, a team of industry experts at Senior Housing News named Harbor’s Edge the best designed Life Plan community in

America. Not only are beautiful finishes found in each residence, but thoughtful details also grace the common areas—from the bright atrium and central lounge to the dining spaces and outdoor terraces.

“The focus of our community is to help you keep doing the things you love to do,” said Volder. “It’s why we offer incredible amenities—like an indoor pool and spa, movie theatre, a grand ballroom, fitness center, beauty salons, art opportunities and so much more.”

While residents love the location and the lifestyle, Harbor’s Edge also provides peace of mind. Upon entering the community, the resident pays an entrance fee as well as a monthly service fee that covers maintenance, housekeeping, 24-

hour security and chef-prepared meals in five different dining venues.

Plus, Harbor’s Edge offers the security of knowing high-quality healthcare is available should the need arise. As a Life Plan Community, a full continuum of care is available onsite. This unique program allows residents to make choices with their family, which removes some of the ‘what ifs’ of future planning.

“We don’t want our children to have to make decisions for our future,” said one Harbor’s Edge resident.

“We want to make our own choices.”

With True LifeCare at Harbor’s Edge, a portion of the entrance and monthly service fees may be recognized as pre-paid health care and could be deducted as a medical expense for tax purposes (please consult a tax advisor).

“There are a lot of people who say they’re too young for a retirement community,” said Volder. “But when they see the amenities and experience the luxury lifestyle, they end up losing those inhibitions.”

To learn more about Harbor’s Edge and the benefits of our luxurious Life Plan Community, please call 757-347-8971 to schedule a private appointment.  LUXURYCOLLECTIONHOMES.COM

FASHION FEATURE

The Secret to Style!

BY: THOMAS SMITH, ASSISTANT CEO BINNS OF WILLIAMSBURG

Your sense of style comes from many places.

It will come as no surprise that over the past decade, right up through the pandemic period and beyond, fashion and style has continued to evolve leaving us in a continual quandary over personal style.

We have been teased by the ease and comfort of “Casual Fridays”, convinced that jeans are more than just jeans. As a result, we have paid hundreds for our favorite fitting pair…but it still leaves you wearing jeans. During the pandemic period when everyone retreated to the safety of a virtual meeting where on most all occasions you are seen from the waist-up, the style those jeans promised could never deliver. – throw on a necklace over a sweater - poof you are done.

Not anymore!

These days, it is not so much a question of being led by the right designer, as much as it is the assurances of what you choose to wear communicates who you are and conveys your ability to broker the deals you are negotiating.

Relaxing the fit, does not mean you should exchange the subtle power of your selection.

We have returned to in-person meetings, and as a result, the new dress code is correlation!

Dress for the day ahead and be ready for the chance encounter that requires leaving a fashionable first impression.

Be polished and convey your sense for the small details. Running shoes have evolved into very expensive, stylized technical masterpieces of art, however they are not shoes for power meetings in the board room.

Critically, your store should have experienced associates and seamstresses to provide alterations.

High fashion poorly fitted is simply a poor fitting garment and the messaging is lost.

Having a go-to Fashion Shop and Stylist is worth far more than saving the free return shipping on a box of items that you randomly put together shopping online. The fabric, its texture and the quality of the sewing make or break how an item looks on you.

Regardless, if you like the style of the garment on the hanger, it needs to hang well on you.

“Smart Elegance” is the new coined phrase, replacing “Smart Casual”.

The emphasis on Elegance replacing

Casual. Err on formality in dressing.

It will always carry you further, while enhancing the deal. Tailor your look, while expressing your personal style to your clients and the reason for your meeting.

Color remains the defining element in fashion and that which absolutely merits your careful attention. Color defines fashion. Feel confident in color. Having the freedom to decide that the only acceptable color for the business power suit being black is liberating and opens countless avenues for you to make your personal statement. While certain colors have stereotypical connotations, you should always be able to find a tone or shade in the family that suits your skin tone permitting your selection to come alive and work for you. Again, pay attention to time of day and the reason and place of your meetings.

Your style should accentuate your positives and be an extension of your personality’s best qualities. Each day you dress, do so with intent and decisiveness. You never know who you are going to bump into, and what will unfold. Be tailored and “Stylishly Prepared”.  LUXURYCOLLECTIONHOMES.COM

How much difference can a trained space planning professional make? A lot, as it turns out. And all the better if that professional is a member of the Closet Factory team, where customization is precisely that.

Born in Los Angeles in 1983, the company now boasts more than 50 locations, including one in Virginia Beach, purchased in 2003 by local Jeff Bruzzesi. For 20 years, Bruzzesi, with his sales manager Tami Sullivan, a dozen designers, and crews of expert cabinet makers and installers have bestowed the gifts of time, space, peace, and joy on the Hampton Roads community and beyond.

If better living through organization sounds too simple to believe, think again because it couldn’t be more straightforward in the hands of the Closet Factory pros. Or faster.
