“Watches and diamonds are my passion. The art of cutting a billion-year-old rock to sparkle across a ballroom is almost as exciting as the mechanics of 279 tiny parts keeping near perfect time over decades, with barely more than admiration from its audience.”

EmployeeProfiles_S2019.indd 10

Thanks to familial encouragement and love of the industry, Jerome Golfman got his start in the jewelry business more than 10 years ago. “A dear aunt encouraged me to earn my GIA credentials and experience the same type of career she herself had built and loved,” says Golfman.

After joining a family-owned firm, Golfman learned the true nature of this business—sharing people’s romances and once-in-a-lifetime moments. He built his success on one philosophy: Always be in the moment for each and every client and make connections on multiple levels.

Golfman’s aspiration to join the Fink’s Jewelers’ team stems from the company’s reputation. “Fink’s has always had the highest level of professionalism and quality in Richmond,” he says. “Therefore, when a job opening arose, it wasn’t hard to imagine myself coming on board with the best team I had ever seen.”

While Golfman works with unique jewelry every day, he does have a few favorite types of pieces to sell.

“Watches and diamonds are by far the most interesting to match up with a client,” he says. “The art of cutting a billion-year-old rock to sparkle across a ballroom is almost as exciting as the mechanics of 279 tiny parts keeping near perfect time over decades, with barely more than admiration from its audience. The selection, regardless of the nature of the piece, is about how it will be perceived for generations.”

Outside of work, Golfman’s favorite moments are spent among family and friends, sharing a meal and a milestone—especially when his wife Diane has had her hands in planning the day. It is Diane who helped him devise the advice he gives to his newly engaged or soonto-be engaged clients. “A phrase I like to impart to my couples is ‘live, love, laugh,’” he says. “We really need to be there for each other in our romantic relationships. A sea of clichés comes rushing to mind when I see people taking the leap into marriage and most of them are pretty accurate. Yet live, love, laugh truly sums it up.”

Even the most dedicated members of the Fink’s team need vacations now and then. Golfman’s dream destination? “When I close my eyes and see my dream destination, it’s usually gritty, wet and salty—and I’m not referring to my favorite bar,” he jokes. “I mean St. Barts, Nantucket, Negril or even Cape May, with a breeze coming on shore and the sun peeking through our umbrella. I love any place where our most difficult decision is how close to the tide to set our chairs.”

FINK’S JEWELERS

“Being a part of my clients’ special moments is what excites me the most. I look forward to receiving emails with their engagement pictures—they put a smile on my face. Quite simply, I love the business of love!”

Michael White began his fine jewelry career in Central Florida in 1979 and joined Fink’s in August 2018 at the Lynchburg, VA location. “I am very blessed to be with a family-owned company that truly cares for their employees and clients,” he says. “The quality of the Fink’s family is evident not only in the superior quality jewelry we represent, it’s also reflected in the level of jewelry professionals who I work with and serve our clients.”

White believes his passion for educating his clients and getting to know them personally has been the secret to his success. His favorite part of the job is working on the bridal side of the business, helping couples select the perfect engagement ring that expresses the bride-tobe’s personality and celebrates the couple’s love for one another. “Being a part of my clients’ special moments is what excites me the most,” White says. “I look forward to receiving emails with their engagement pictures— they put a smile on my face. Quite simply, I love the business of love!”

When working with young couples who are about to get engaged, White offers advice for relationship longevity. “I tell my clients to always communicate with one another openly and honestly,” he says. “Have fun creating memories together and say I love you often— not only in words but in your embrace and your daily actions. Never end the day upset with one another, have patience and be your spouse’s best friend.”

White and his wife have three children and two grandchildren with another on the way. For the doting grandpa, their smiling faces and contagious laughter never get old. After work and on the weekends, White enjoys spending time with his church family and serving the community as a member of the Rotary Club of Forest, Virginia. The couple also enjoys cruising on their motorcycle with friends through the Blue Ridge Mountains as well as playing golf and hiking.

In the future, White and his wife will travel far beyond the Blue Ridge Mountains together. “My wonderful wife and best friend was born and raised on a farm in the mountains of northern Thailand,” he says.

“I’m looking forward to exploring this beautiful part of the world and experiencing the Thai people and their culture one day.”

Considered a trailblazer who ushered in a movement of storytelling in the genre of fashion photography, Norman Parkinson worked outside the box. He took female models away from the static poses and outside well-controlled studios common in pre-war photography and into the real world. His shoots often took place in exotic, glamorous locations where his subjects interacted with the environment. In a career that spanned from 1931 until his death in 1990—while shooting on location in Singapore—Parkinson’s work reflected our evolving society.

Model Pilar Crespi reclines on a beach in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. Photographer Norman Parkinson shot the image for Town & Country magazine in 1980.

In 1956, Parkinson traveled across India on a photo shoot for British Vogue. Upon seeing the exotic photos, notable fashion editor Diana Vreeland remarked, “How clever of you, Mr. Parkinson, to know that pink is the navy blue of India.”

SPIRITS

DELEÓN WILL TEMPT YOUR PALATE WITH A UNIQUE BLEND OF FLAVORS FOUND IN ITS REPOSADO.

42

Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs notoriously poured and pranced around with bottles of Cristal when music videos were his forte, but as a businessman today, tequila is his drink of choice. Five years ago, Combs partnered with one of the world’s largest spirits distillers, Diageo, to take over and reinvent a small firm, DeLeón Tequila. They rebranded the company’s existing lineup of exclusive tequilas as its Luxury Line (maybe you’ve heard of the $820 per bottle DeLeón Leóna?), and later rolled out a new trio dubbed its Ultra-Premium Line. In the middle of the new threesome is DeLeón Reposado ($60), a refined pale gold tequila that’s aged eight months in American oak and finished in French oak casks. Pour yourself a shot. There’s an immediate and unmistakable woody presence on the nose, but there’s much more going on—you’ll detect notes of caramel, citrus and banana. On the palate, roasted agave and black pepper give way to cinnamon, caramel and oak flavors. In essence, DeLeón integrates sweet and spicy, punchy and peppery throughout—unusual characteristics of typical woody reposados. It’s a unique tequila that Mexican spirits fans should absolutely try.

TAKE TO THE SKIES WITH THE ROLEX GMT-MASTER II AND SKY-DWELLER, TRUSTED WINGMEN TO THE ELITE WORLD TRAVELER.

By Christen Fisher plicated watches. A favorite among globe-trotting athletes like tennis legend Roger Federer, basketball great LeBron James and soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, the Sky-Dweller boasts dual timezone displays and an annual calendar. For the dual time-zone feature, local time is read using center hands and a reference time display in 24-hour format on a rotating off-center disc visible on the dial. The annual calendar, called Saros after the astronomical phenomenon relating to the eclipse cycle, displays the date at 3 o’clock and the month using 12 apertures around the circumference of the dial.

For ease of use on the go, the Sky-Dweller is equipped with a Ring Command bezel that allows the wearer to select the watch’s different functions through an interface between the movement and the case. The bezel can be turned to one of three positions to select the function to be set: date, local time or reference time. The selected function then can be adjusted in either direction, forward or backward, using the winding crown, which has only one setting position. At first it was offered only in precious metals, but Rolex introduced two Rolesor versions of the 42mm watch in 2017. It is now available in solid Everose gold, Oystersteel with white gold and Oystersteel with yellow gold.

Keeping track of the time, knowing where you’ve been, where you are and where you’re going—whether it’s back home, to the next meeting or to an undiscovered corner of the Earth—is a necessary “luxury” for the devoted traveler. If you find yourself spending much of your time navigating friendly or unfriendly skies, Rolex’s GMT-Master II and Sky-Dweller will help you keep an eye on the horizon and a foot on the ground.

Whether your 2019 travel plans include “bleisure” trips (mixing business and leisure) with the family in tow, an epic solo adventure into an unexplored or hard-to-reach territory, or both, chances are you’re going to fly. You’ll be in the air, but not above caring what time it is. So know this: As the jet set takes flight more frequently than ever before, its wingman of choice continues to be Rolex.

In 1959, when Pan American Airways made the first nonstop flight from New York to Moscow, Rolex was in the cockpit. The historic flight’s captain wore an Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master to aid him in navigation. Since its original launch in 1955, the GMT-Master has remained a true “tool watch,” its ever-evolving technical performance keeping pace with the rapid growth of intercontinental travel during the second half of the 20th century. In 1982, Rolex introduced a new movement that allowed the hour hand to be set independently. Models fitted with this optimized movement were named the GMT-Master II. In the past 60 years, a lot has changed: Pan Am no longer exists, and flights from New York to Moscow are a daily occurrence. Yet the GMT-Master II continues to evolve to meet the needs of elite world travelers, including celebrity devotees such as Brad Pitt, Ellen DeGeneres and Sylvester Stallone.

At Baselworld 2018, Rolex introduced three new versions of the iconic GMT-Master II with a new movement, the caliber 3285. Available in Oystersteel, Oystersteel and Everose gold and solid Everose gold, the 40mm GMT-Master II is equipped with a bidirectional rotatable bezel and a 24-hour graduated two-color Cerachrom insert in red-and-blue ceramic, known to watch aficionados as the “Pepsi” bezel. The lugs and sides of its Oyster case have been redesigned and fitted on a five-link Jubilee bracelet. Designed to display the time in two different time zones simultaneously and waterproof to 100 meters, it is an ideal watch for crisscrossing the globe in style.

Launched in 2012, GMT-Master II’s much younger sibling, the Oyster Perpetual Sky-Dweller, is one of Rolex’s most com-

TIRED OF THAI, MEXICAN AND ITALIAN? TRY THE HEALTHY, TASTY FOOD OF ISRAEL.

By Donna Rolando

cumin, paprika and cayenne, shakshuka is a hearty wake-up call for breakfast or brunch, but don’t be surprised to see it at the dinner table—it’s that versatile. There’s no right or wrong way to serve shakshuka, and plenty of recipes to prove it. Get creative and sprinkle in some feta cheese. Or let a seasonal veggie fare like eggplant introduce fresh variety to the egg core.

If you’re looking for a dish that’s light yet filling at the same time, don’t pass up the chance to taste sabich, a hearty sandwich that can serve as lunch. Loaded atop a pita, there’s fried eggplant and hard-boiled eggs, along with Israeli salad, hummus and tahini.

This popular dish is meatless but you won’t miss it as the sauce called amba wakes up your senses with a blend of pickled mangoes, turmeric and fenugreek. A familiar feature at falafel stands, the Israeli salad rounds out the recipe with a blend of tomato, cucumber and other diced veggies.

For pasta like nothing you’ll find in an Italian restaurant but with winning qualities all its own, there’s Israeli couscous, also called ptitim. Devour this toasted, pearl-shaped pasta on its own with zuc-

chini, tomatoes and peppers. Or enjoy it as an accompaniment to a main dish such as grilled tilapia as the couscous inspires the chef ’s creativity.

But what’s an Israeli meal without the Holy Land’s traditional dessert? Halvah, the sweet, tahini-based candy, gets its name from halwa, the Arabic word for sweet confection. It’s eaten in different variations across the globe but the Israeli version is made with sugar syrup, a sesame base and optional yummy accoutrements like seeds or nuts. It comes in slabs or in packaging, in flavors like chocolate or vanilla or a marble of both, and can be eaten as a dessert or as a companion to an Israeli breakfast. Halvah looks like fudge that is more crumbly in texture, but there really is no way to describe its unique taste. One should just try for himself.

No matter how you indulge your curiosity about the wonderful world of Israeli cuisine, you’ll have no pangs of guilt.

Remember that fresh and healthy ingredients are at the heart of this culinary style as you discover centuries-old taste sensations closer to home than ever.

Clockwise, from top left: Shakshuka, or “tomato eggs,” is a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner when paired with a fresh salad or bread for dipping; you won’t miss the meat on this ultimate vegetarian sandwich, the sabich, hugely popular in the metropolitan Tel Aviv area; couscous is a versatile, quick-cooking and delicious grain resembling pasta; halvah is the perfectly sweet ending to your Middle Eastern meal.

FINK’S JEWELERS

They say everything old is new again, but here’s that truism on steroids. The “new” culinary revolution under way in the U.S. actually comes from traditions as old as time: Israeli fare with its winning combination of healthy ingredients and pizzazz.

Look for it in hot spots like New York and L.A.—or in a neighborhood near you—as celebrated chefs embrace the trend and reap a bounty of awards. And if you know only hummus dip and falafel, it’s time to expand your culinary horizons by becoming familiar with a few dishes that many, many generations have enjoyed.

Don’t let the name shakshuka fool you.

Also spelled shakshouka, it may sound like something complicated, but this savory dish of poached eggs nesting in a spiced tomato stew is a one-skillet wonder that cooks up in a snap. This traditional Israeli meal with North African roots goes from stovetop to oven to table in just 40 minutes. (And, yes, it’s often served right in the skillet, taking simplicity to the max.) Soak up all that hearty goodness with challah or pitas, and you’re dining on shakshuka like a pro.

With a zesty array of spices such as

It could be a wedding gathering at the famous resort Auberge du Soleil in California’s scenic Napa Valley, as featured in Jessica Kerwin Jenkins’ The Art of Entertaining (Rizzoli New York). Or it could be another celebration somewhere far from the vineyards, but where the golden light of just-before-dusk equally illumines the guests’ cheerfully colorful attire and the sparkling Dom Pérignon equally complements the succulent treats from the sea. Here the culinary preparations are by renowned chef Robert Curry; at your event they could be your own or the work of another artist in the kitchen. What matters is the vibe of effortless delight, and the way conversation seems to have an extra opportunity to sparkle.

WINE

rosé has its day Don’t blush—there’s no need to be embarrassed. Nowadays, it’s perfectly OK to like rosé. More than that, it’s cool. It puts you on the cusp of a cultural wave that has swept up wine lovers from coast to coast.

Call it a rosergence.

Jay-Z has rapped about it. Drew Barrymore has reveled it in, releasing her own label of pinot noir rosé. Although pink wine still represents a mere 1.5 percent of the total U.S. table wine market—a proverbial drop in the industry bucket—demand for it is swelling. From mid-2016 to mid-2017, domestic consumption of rosé increased 53 percent by volume, surging to $258 million in sales, according to a report last year by Forbes. Over that same period, sparkling rosé also enjoyed a bump, its sales jumping by nearly 20 percent.

It all adds up to a serious turnabout in reputation for a wine once snickered at by sophisticates.

Starting in the 1970s, and for the good part of a generation, rosé was widely seen as the sweet pink drink of fru-fru cocktail parties, a déclassé concoction for less-than-nuanced palates, much of it sold in jugs by the likes of Gallo and Sutter Home.

White zinfandel was the variety by which many people then came to know rosé, and it was often said that the wine’s very existence owed to an error. According to a broadly circulated story, it was born in 1975 when Sutter Home winemaker Bob Trinchero botched a production, giving rise to a high-in-sugar wine with the saccharine character of a Hallmark card.

To Trinchero’s surprise, consumers loved it. For better or worse, a phenomenon was born.

This, of course, was another era; the American market was just catching on to wine.

“In that sense, those sweet rosés were great for the industry,” says Niki Wente, a fifth-generation vintner at venerable Wente Vineyards in Livermore, California. “They got a lot of people drinking and enjoying wine. And the more people learned, the more excited they became about the possibilities.”

Wente is one of a growing number of young vintners who are unabashed in their embrace of rosé. Just last year, she expressed that fondness through the first release of Niki’s Pinot Noir Rosé, a crisp but complex wine that bears no resemblance to the cloying blushes of decades past.

Dancing lightly on the palate, with notes of cantaloupe and orange zest, this rosé has a closer kinship to the traditionally bone-dry rosés of France, one of several countries where pink wine comes with a rich pedigree.

Wide-ranging in its provenance, with deep roots in Spain, Portugal, Germany and Italy, among other wine-producing powers, rosé is also made in myriad styles, from such varietals as pinot noir, grenache and gamay, to name just a few. It appears in shades that span the pink-hued spectrum, from the reddest raspberry to the palest salmon. But no matter its iteration, rosé, at its best, is bright, refreshing and a delicious food wine fit for all occasions.

Hence the growing popularity of a wine-world catchphrase. Say it with us: Rosé all day!

TASTING NOTES

Domaine Carneros Madame de Pompadour Rosé NV, $37 Named after the French King Louis XV’s paramour, Madame de Pompadour, this has a delicate mousse, a lacy texture and aromatics of wild strawberries, ripe peach, apricot, pomegranate, honeysuckle and exotic spices.

2018 Niki’s Pinot Noir Rosé, $30 Brimming with aromatic hints of summer melon and ripe strawberry, this refreshing wine pairs beautifully with everything from rich cow’s-milk cheeses to roasted pork.

J Vineyards Brut Rosé, $45 A vibrant sparkling rosé with a creamy mouthfeel that gives way to lively notes of blood orange and lemon.

Try it with tuna poke or grilled prawns.
