THE

MR. SID GUIDE A NEW-OLD FRIEND

PANTS BY ANY OTHER NAME…

Your mother always told you: Don’t judge a book by its cover. And Mr. Sid is telling you: Don’t judge a clothing line by its name. PT01, for instance. PT stands for Pantaloni Torino: In other words, Turin Pants. OK, not too sexy. But try them on at Mr. Sid, and your fashion world will get turned on its ear.

In particular, notice the kinetic fabric. Its four-way stretch gives you max comfort and movement. On top of that, they’re water resistant and come in a variety of fabrics. The company is out to break conventions (fitting, since the Fassino family textile business was founded in 1969—though the PT brand launched in 2006), yet stay true to the classic Italian style and the superb craftsmanship that goes with it. Judge these pants on how they look and feel, and you won’t care what they’re called.

Like a good friend, a good sportcoat is hard to find.

Well, your search for that perfect garment is over.

Visit us at our Seaport store and ask about Circolo 1901: soft, easy jackets and blazers in styles ranging from understated to bold. Try one on, and you’ll be amazed at how the fit seems to be made just for you. How does Circolo do it?

The short answer: unmistakable Italian craftsmanship. And that’s because each jacket is the product of founder Gennaro Dargenio’s fashion philosophies. With more than 30 years in the textile industry, Dargenio is committed to product development and innovation, resulting in timeless relaxed jackets, unstructured sportcoats and velour blazers.

Even a brand new Circolo 1901 will feel familiar and easy—like a friend you’ve known for years. Get to know the brand during your next visit to Mr. Sid.

SNEAKERS HAVE THEIR DAY

SID.ss18.guide.2.indd 13

SPRING/SUMMER 2018

An old favorite is making a big comeback. No, not bell-bottoms. (Thank goodness, Andrew Oman says!) It’s sneakers—yes, sneakers! But first, toss out your old ideas of what they used to be (and your old sneakers with them)—it’s a whole different style and feel. Today they can be worn for many occasions—with sportcoats, nice pants, suits even—for a complete, sophisticated, “put together” look. As usual, Mr. Sid is ahead of the curve with carefully curated footwear in fun colors and styles from brands like New Balance (which has collaborated with Mr. Sid on custom models) and Andrea Zori. Ask your Mr. Sid staffer to finish off your casual, but classy ensemble with sneakers, and welcome back the new generation of an old fave.

THE MR. SID GUIDE IMPROVING UPON GREATNESS

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Wrong! Here’s a lesson in how to make a good thing better from Mr. Sid. You may already be familiar with Mr. Sid Royale, our made-to-measure line of suits with options you choose at an affordable price. And although it’s an amazing line, we are always striving to improve, which is why we have literally combed the globe in search of the absolute best fabrics for our customers. Take Escorial. It’s a rare wool from a particular type of sheep only found in small numbers in Australia and New Zealand. The result is a fabric with a level of comfort you won’t be able to get enough of. Then there’s Ermenegildo Zegna (pictured). You associate the name with wonderful suits, but the Ermenegildo Zegna wool mill also produces exceptional fabrics. And don’t forget Ariston: Since the 1920s, it has delivered true Italian flair with bright, crisp colors and unique patterns. On top of it all, Mr. Sid Royale customers can benefit from the decades of experience that our style pros offer, along with a long list of options to customize your suit. With all these improvements, we can make your great suit even greater.

Talk to an associate about Mr. Sid Royale today, and we’ll keep shattering clichés.

THE A–Z LIST

TUSCANY COMES TO BOSTON

Mr. Sid thinks the Boston Seaport is a great place to be—that’s why we opened a store there.

Like us, Tuscan Kitchen’s owner, Joe Faro, has expanded to the Seaport, whetting our appetite for his regional Italian cuisine. The son of Sicilian immigrants, Faro launched his first business, Joseph’s Gourmet Pasta and Sauces, in the attic of his family’s bakery in Haverhill, Mass. He has since opened several Tuscan Kitchens and Tuscan Markets, all in the Bay State. After an afternoon of shopping at Mr. Sid, why not treat yourself to the best in Italian food and taste for yourself what we’re talking about? Note: You may want to stop

by Mr. Sid first—if you have your fill of Tuscan Kitchen’s delicious fare beforehand (go for the slow braised wild boar ragu or the lobster ravioli), your waist measurement could be way off.

Mr. Sid is proud to feature more than 40 designer brands under one roof! See if you don’t find your favorites in the list below. Then stop by the store for a shopping experience you’ll love.

MADE IN MILAN

The first thing to know about Bagutta sport shirts is that they’re made in Milan, the hotbed of style and fashion.

So their pedigree is impeccable. True to its roots, Bagutta embodies legendary Milanese style—quality is woven into each stitch. They’re classy, comfortable shirts that fit the bill for every occasion.

The company was founded more than 70 years ago and named after Via Bagutta, the street that captures the essence of that fashionable, hardworking city. In the same spirit of its founders, Bagutta today delivers the highest quality shirts from the finest materials. Fashionable and hardworking…that describes men like us, doesn’t it? If you agree, then Bagutta shirts will be a perfect fit.

THE MR. SID GUIDE MADE KJUS FOR YOU

The weather is getting better every day—it must be time to hit the links. Before you gear up, head to Mr. Sid and see our superb line of golf wear, highlighted by Kjus (pronounced “shoos”). Sure, they make great skiwear, but did you know that the Kjus line was literally conceived over a game of golf? In 2000, Lasse Kjus and Didi Serena—the former an Olympic ski champion, the latter an entrepreneur— were bemoaning the idea that golf apparel just wasn’t comfortable enough. So, they decided to do something about it. Now, Kjus is known for its freedom of movement and its style. So even if your golf game needs work, Kjus will make you look like a pro no matter what.

ENTER THE MODERN STONE AGE

Dinosaur-bone cufflinks shaped into skulls. Fossilized, mastodon-bone bracelets. Trilobite fossil cufflinks. If that sounds incredibly cool to you (it does to us!), then you have to get to know Megin Spivey accessories. Original and eccentric accents like those have put Megin Spivey into the hearts and valet boxes of men all over. Using materials from just about everywhere on the planet, the line is bold and surprising with a natural, raw quality. You can’t take your eyes off of her creations, and in some cases, they’re looking back at you.

WHO’S WHO AT MR. SID SEAPORT

WHEN FASHION MET FUNCTION

Companies get makeovers too! When Francesco Martorella and Fulvio Botto bought Esemplare outerwear in 2015, they made it their own. First, they moved the company from Ireland to Italy. Then they upgraded the production process. Now the line is designed and developed in Italy, resulting in the innovative cuts, fabrics and materials that have become the hallmarks of Italian craftsmanship. The form is urban, and the function is multiseasonal and multi-occasion—perfect for New England’s always changing weather. Talk to a Mr. Sid associate about your makeover, with the streetsmart look of Esemplare.

SID.ss18.guide.2.indd 16

HAMILTON, BE A NEW MAN

Unless you’re a mannequin, you can appreciate the benefits of a custom shirt. And at Mr. Sid, be sure to check out Hamilton shirts, an American institution since 1883. They’ve had the backs of statesmen, entertainers and captains of industry for more than 130 years, and now they can have your back too. Along with the brand name, the craft has been handed down for four generations: Every customized shirt is cut by hand in Hamilton’s Houston workshop. Why by hand? Because the goal is a perfect fit. Talk to your Mr. Sid associate, and you’ll discover the comfort of a Hamilton custom shirt.

Spring styles got you flustered? Don’t know what goes with what? Or maybe you just need a little extra help for that special occasion attire.

Well, it’s time you meet the store managers at Mr. Sid Boston Seaport location. Their mission: to provide the same service and expertise you’ve come to rely on at our venerable Newton Centre store.

Luke, our general manager, has 14 years under his belt in this industry, working closely with the Hugo Boss and Canali brands.

He especially enjoys helping new customers create looks that fit their lifestyles. If you notice that Luke is light on his feet, he once auditioned as a backup dancer for pop icon Madonna! But his head’s not in the clouds, because among his strengths is an ability to relate to many types of customers and listen to their needs.

Pam, our assistant general manager, is a 25-year veteran of the fashion industry, and has worked as a buyer at Abercrombie & Fitch and manager and personal stylist at Nordstrom. She specializes in zoning in on customers’ needs and then meeting them. Of her “old school” customer service approach, she says, “I get a great deal of fulfillment knowing that my customer is happy and satisfied.” We call her the “Queen of the Sale” because she’s always helping customers find great bargains.

Both Luke and Pam love working in the Seaport district and seeing it thrive. Pay them a visit, and they’ll be happy to help you thrive in fashion.

CLOTHES TALK

HOT IN THESE SHADES

Stuart Segel talks about the season’s coolest colors, suggests what to wear if you’re traveling or caught in a rainstorm and reveals who in Hollywood—yesterday and today—has the best sense of style.

Let’s talk suits—what’s hot for spring?

The color of the season in suits is a lighter blue grey that we’ve done very well with right out of the box. We’ve tried to pick fabrics that have natural stretch to them, because that’s a critical need for men who travel: They need to make sure their suits perform, so we’ve added that component to a lot of our models.

We did a whole travel series with Castangia with this in mind.

Are there any collections you’re especially excited about?

The Ermenegildo Zegna Collection looks very complete, very cohesive—everything coordinates. We’ve really emphasized a more upper-casual selection for this time of the year, when people are more relaxed and don’t dress up quite as much, and we feel Ermenegildo Zegna is excellent for the season. Made-tomeasure is a big part of our business too—more so than ever before. We’ll be having trunk shows and events to promote it.

Speaking of rain, which shoes are best for the wet weather?

We have some great sneakers by Di Bianco and Andrea Zori that are water-resistant.

And we carry a few new items from Alden, like a casual shoe that can be worn with a khaki or jean.

Pantone named ultra violet its color of the year. How can a man best incorporate the shade into his wardrobe?

We have plenty of purple shirts and even trousers. But mostly it’s done through decorative accents—accessories like pocket squares or simply a necktie.

Purples aside, what do you think is spring’s hottest color?

Shades of blue continue to be very strong— that lighter, almost French blue. We’ve seen a lot of beige too—we have a few jackets that are in the beige family, and we’ve done extremely well with them. Some have blue windowpanes, and that’s a trendy color combination: beige with blue.

can wear it in a traditional sensibility—at a summer wedding, for example—or even as a layering piece when you’re traveling.

Looking back on fashion, what’s a style that we should all forget?

I’d have to say it was the wide-leg pant from the ’70s.

In your opinion, which current celebrity has the best sense of style?

Brad Pitt certainly has a great sense of style.

He’s made a name for himself in that regard.

What about the icons? Who was the best-dressed man in all of Hollywood history?

Frank Sinatra. He had a very tailored look, yet it had a sexy feel. Everyone loved him.

Father’s Day is coming up—what’s the perfect gift for dear old Dad? We have some fabulous new socks, from Marcoliani, Pantherella and Bresciani, that are really bright and fun. They’re a great gift for Father’s Day.

If a man only buys one new wardrobe item for the season, what should it be?

A navy, 10-pocket sport jacket from Ermenegildo Zegna. It’s done in a travel fabric, and it’s very versatile and useful. You

Spring always brings a certain dilemma: finding that “in-between” coat. What do you recommend?

We have a few jackets by Manto that will

give the customer a lighter feel but enable him to stave off the rain that always comes with spring. Not only that, but the jackets are super-cool looking too.

THE LEADING MAN

Ladies’ Man Ryan Reynolds may have finally settled down, but he’s still continuing a love affair with three women: his (very famous) spouse and their two daughters. By Lance Debler

W

Wilson, who acquires a superhuman healing factor that enables him to survive unfortunate events like decapitation—in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The role brought him a new level of fame: People magazine named him one of its Sexiest Men Alive twice before bestowing the top honor upon him in 2010, and fashion bloggers began obsessing over his dressed-upyet-laid-back sense of style. For the Origins premiere, he ditched the jacket of his black three-piece suit and cut a breezy figure, the sleeves rolled up on his dress shirt. It’s a relaxed look that has stayed on constant display: In 2016, when that X-Men role finally turned into what’s sure to be his franchise goldmine with the release of the official Deadpool film, he showed up in a camel-colored suit, no belt and enough “dapper” to drench the red carpet.

By then, of course, he’d met and married Lively and spawned the aforementioned two daughters, James, now 4, and Ines, 2. So will Reynolds begin embracing his dad status and lay back even more? Could be.

While promoting Deadpool in London, he hit the press trail with mostly grey hair, a matching salt-and-pepper beard and a pair of thick-rimmed black glasses. Of course, no one seemed to mind his mature new look: Courtesy of style watchers, Twitter users and just about everyone else on Earth, Ryan Reynolds was officially proclaimed Hollywood’s newest silver fox.

SPRING/SUMMER 2018

ith a wife and two young daughters at home, you might assume that Ryan Reynolds is ready to build an impassable man cave and retreat to it frequently.

But you’d be wrong.

“I’m just fine being surrounded by estrogen,” the 41-year-old (and better half of actress/lifestyle maven Blake Lively) once told an interviewer. “I grew up in a house full of testosterone. I’m the youngest of four boys, and my dad was a cop—and that’s intense. For whatever reason, I always got along great with girls.”

No kidding. Before he settled into domestic bliss with Lively—they exchanged vows at a South Carolina plantation in 2012—he romanced several wellknown women. One of his most serious (but often forgotten-by-the-masses) relationships: a three-year union with angst-ridden rocker Alanis Morissette, to whom he was even engaged. Those looking for insight on the split need look only as far as Morissette’s 2008 Flavors of Entanglement album; she’s said it was inspired by the pain of the breakup, with the song “Torch” specifically based on Reynolds. The Canadian-born actor, meanwhile, rebounded quickly: He soon began dating Hollywood goddess Scarlett Johansson (the two were wed by 2008, with a divorce following three years later).

Professionally, his career soared. In 2009, he first appeared as Deadpool—aka mild-mannered Wade

A PRACTICAL PERFORMER

With groundbreaking tech and 680 ponies under the hood, Ferrari’s GTC4Lusso is in a class of its own. And there’s seating for the entire family!

Don’t let the spacious trunk and wagon-like silhouette fool you, this is every bit a Ferrari as Magnum P.I.’s 308 GTS—and it might be better! The legendary Italian luxury sports car maker has revamped its old FF model and renamed it the GTC4Lusso (one word, Ferrari says). Casual drivers will love the trunk space and seating for four. But enthusiasts will appreciate the power, falling for the 680-horsepower V12 engine and all-wheel drive/four-wheel steering combo—a first in the gran turismo class. Undoubtedly, this is a Ferrari!

| MRSID.COM

Starting Price:

$298,900

A front-mounted 6.2liter V12 engine cranks out 680 horsepower at 8,000 rpm. (That’s a big roar!) All that muscle catapults the Lusso from 0–62 mph in 3.4 seconds; it has a reported top speed of 207 mph. Catch your breath before you read on.

The big coupe obeys every steering command thanks to 20-inch front and rear wheels. The 117.7-inch wheel base, wide like other sports coupes, provides extra stability.

A sports coupe for the snow? Not only does the Lusso feature a rugged AWD system, but its four-wheel steering (when needed, the front and rear wheels will steer into a turn) gives it top-notch handling and control.

From sculpted sides and chiseled crease lines to aggressive angles, styling on the Lusso—which translates to “luxury”— earns higher marks than its predecessor, the Ferrari FF.

SID.ss18.auto.indd 40

4/3/18 3:06 PM

A 10.3-inch touchscreen is mission control of the infotainment system.

Together with the knob-and-button interface, the audio, phone and ventilation systems are intuitive and easy to navigate.

Like Formula 1 racers, Lusso drivers can control the car without taking their hands off the wheel. Controls for ignition, headlights, turn signals and windshield wipers are mounted on the front of the steering wheel.

Rotary switches for the audio system are built into the back of the wheel spokes.

The Lusso’s two rear seats aren’t just for looks—two people can fit snuggly in the back.

It’s unlikely that a pro basketball player can squeeze in (this is a sports coupe, after all) but this car has 16 millimeters more legroom than its predecessor.

The company’s trademark twin rear lights broaden the horizontal lines of the rear profile. Tailpipes remind those who follow behind the car of its raw power.

|

With an AWD drivetrain and ground clearance higher than any other sports car, driving in everyday conditions (including nasty potholes) is a breeze.

Unlike many luxury sports coupes, the Lusso provides ample trunk space. Pop the hatchback and stow your groceries, luggage or even a couple of golf bags. Going skiing?

Fold down the 50/50 split rear seats to fit all your gear.

SPRING/SUMMER 2018

Ferrari’s prancing horse emblem is mounted front and center on the large single grille, which provides all the necessary air intake to cool the mighty V12 beneath the hood.

Double pane glass is used throughout the vehicle, including an optional panoramic moonroof, giving riders a sweeping view of the surroundings. Though noise is an expected quality of Ferraris, the glass, coupled with an improved exhaust system and extra soundmuffling fiberglass, keeps the cabin quiet.

THE SPORTING LIFE

thrice as nice

Streamsong’s two quirky tracks have been smashing the clichés about Florida golf.

Now there is a third course to play. By Josh Sens

I

| MRSID.COM

n a lush swath of central Florida, at a triangle point between Tampa and Orlando, the flat terrain begins to wrinkle like a rumpled bedsheet. The air is warm, but a breeze is blowing as white-sand dunes rise into view. In the near distance, down a sleepy turnoff south of the city of Lakeland, a modern wood-stone-and-glass clubhouse stands lonely sentinel, its windows glinting in the daylight. Behind it stretch green fingerlings of fairway, bent and knuckled, fringed by knobby mounds and native grasses.

Welcome to Streamsong, a slice of Scotland in the Sunshine State.

From the day it opened in 2014, this upscale resort has upended preconceptions about Florida golf. While the stereotype features geezers riding golf carts on cookie-cutter courses carved through gated subdivisions, Streamsong offers something wild and otherworldly. Its location alone sets it apart—on a former phosphate mine, far removed from any residential sprawl. Here, there are no houses. But the land itself has plenty of life, marked by shaggy hillocks and sandy gouges, with elevation changes that are hard to come by elsewhere in the state.

At its inauguration, Streamsong cut the ribbon on two courses, the Blue and the Red, designed, respectively, by Tom Doak and the duo of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. If you’re looking to name-drop in golf architecture circles, the names don’t

get much bigger than those three.

True to their reputation as rugged minimalists, Doak and Coore/Crenshaw crafted layouts that required little earth-moving. On both the Red and Blue, the holes buck and roll with the dips and rises that phosphate mining left behind, their imprint lying gently on the land.

Before you could yell “Fore!” Streamsong gained acclaim as a pleasure ground for purists, celebrated for its throwback style of golf.

Unlike many Florida layouts, which require blunt-edged aerial assaults, the Red and Blue encourage creative play. You can launch high shots. But you can also bound your ball along the firm, wide fairways, making use of the quirky humps and hollows. Though the two tracks are a long way from identical—the Blue has larger greens; the Red has tighter tee shots, among other distinctions— both are shaped by a similar aesthetic.

They are reminiscent of British links, except that they are nowhere near the sea.

Although walking isn’t mandatory, it’s highly recommended, just as it is throughout the British Isles, where the philosophy holds that a caddie beats a golf cart any day.

“As public-access, two-course complexes go, there’s none better in the United States,” raved Joe Passov, Golf magazine’s chief architecture critic, after seeing the property for the first time.

That assessment was correct but it needs

updating: Today there aren’t two courses at Streamsong, but three.

Last fall, the already sprawling resort expanded further with the opening of Streamsong Black. Designed by Gil Hanse, another noted architect, whose heralded course credits include Castle Stuart in Scotland and the 2016 Olympic Course in Rio de Janeiro, the Black is a kindred spirit of the Red and Blue—with magnified features.

Located a mile southeast of its two siblings, it spreads across a larger footprint. It has broad-shouldered fairways, cavernous sand traps and dunes that loom like scale-model Himalayas. It’s a course that calls for power but also precision, as evidenced by the holes such as the short par-four 14th, with a green that’s reachable from the tee—if you can laser your drive along the proper line.

As a complement to its time-capsule golf, Streamsong rolls out refined accommodations, its lodge honeycombed with 216 custom-designed guest rooms and suites.

There are four casual and fine dining restaurants. There’s a full-service spa. There’s a convention center’s worth of conference rooms and meeting space.

Inside, you’re coddled by contemporary comforts, just as you would be in a luxury hotel in Tampa or Orlando. Outside, though, the mood is different. Step onto the first tee and click your spikes. You get a funny feeling you’re not in Florida anymore.

Opposite page, clockwise from top: The Blue course features multiple elevation changes, fairways navigating wild grasses and deep-water ponds; the Red course boasts decadesold sand dunes, lakes and natural bunkers; the resort’s Lodge has a quiet loft/lounge area, along with a grotto-style, full-service spa and a fitness center; the Black course is known for its sand ridges akin to the Sand Belt Region of Melbourne, Australia; the Red course was designed by the team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw; guestrooms have floorto-ceiling glass with custom louvers, with many offering stunning water views.

roped in Is your workout routine on the ropes? Here’s a “badass” remedy.

SPRING/SUMMER 2018

f spring fever has you battling a case of workout boredom—or waging war on waistline expansion—battle ropes could be your answer. The practice of waving, thrashing and slamming thick ropes provides a fast, high-intensity workout with a big payoff.

“Battle ropes are a great alternative for upper body training,” says Rob Sulaver, a certified strength and conditioning specialist and the founder of Bandana Training in New York City. “That’s why boxers and martial arts experts love them.”

Football players are also drawn to the workout, says Franklin Antoian, founder of the top-ranked online personal training website iBodyFit. “It builds the skills they need—quickness, agility, power, speed and strength—in short bursts,” he says.

Amateur athletes are drawn to battle ropes for the hard-core aspect they add to a workout. The concept was developed by John Brookfield, a renowned fitness expert who holds a number of world strength records (including one for bending 520 penny nails in about 90 minutes). Despite this fearsome lineage, battle ropes are an accessible workout. “It’s like learning to jump rope or ride a bicycle,” Antoian says. “It looks really challenging, and in the beginning it is—but you quickly get the hang of it. It’s great for both men and women, and you can do it no matter what fitness level you’re at.”

The ropes are generally 30, 40 or 50 feet long and from 1.5 to 2 inches wide. They weigh between 25 and 50 pounds and can be made of polyester, rubber or even plain old hemp. The most common move—and the one you can find on numerous YouTube videos—is The Wave, in which two equal lengths of rope, secured by an “anchor” (such as a heavy piece of equipment), are made to undulate in ocean-like swells. This lends a play-like, graceful aspect to a super-challenging workout. The demands on muscles, as well as the intense cardio exertion, can make a 20-second interval feel endless. Studies have shown that a battle ropes workout burns as many as 112 calories in 10 minutes.

There are technique variations within the Wave category— Tsunami, SideWinder and Rainbows, to name a few. But rope exercises can also consist of pulling, slamming or twisting, often while the user simultaneously does lunges, squats or even jumping jacks. “Battle ropes movements aren’t limited to a single plane of motion—they’re three-dimensional, and you can easily flow from one exercise to the other,” says Sulaver. “That lends itself to a lot of variety, and athletes find that interesting and fun.”

Battle ropes newbies should combine 20- to 25-second work intervals with 20-second rest intervals, according to the American Council on Exercise; more experienced or highly conditioned individuals can use 30- or 35-second work intervals and 15-second rest intervals. In either case, a typical battle ropes workout should last no more than 15 to 20 minutes.

While battle ropes are becoming increasingly available at gyms—many locations in national chains like Crunch and Equinox offer them—they also work well at home. “When I design a home gym for a client, battle ropes are always on the list because there are so many exercises you can do with them,“ Sulaver says.

“They’re relatively inexpensive, and when you’re done you can put them away and they don’t take up a lot of space.” Battle ropes are also a good option for workouts in the backyard, where they can be anchored by a small tree or sturdy deck support, Antoian reports.

“People who want a badass feel to their workouts tend to go for battle ropes,” Sulaver says. “Plus, the exercises look really cool. They give you great pictures to post on Instagram.”

FILIPINO IS THE NEW THAI Get ready: The exotic flavor of the Philippines is coming to a restaurant near you. By Darius Amos

W

hile cuisines from mainland countries like China, India, Korea and Thailand have made their marks on Western cultures, Filipino food always seemed to lag behind. But thanks to internationally renowned chefs-turned-TV-stars like Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern, we’ve caught a glimpse of the good and tasty plates from the Philippines. Our thoughts now? Lemme try some of that! To prepare you for the influx of Filipino restaurants in a city near you, we provide the 411 on four Filipino staples (pictured on opposite page) that you’ll likely find on any menu. Enjoy!

Biko

Kinilaw

Lumpia

The Philippines’ national noodle dish, pancit (PAHN-sit or PUN-sit) resembles Chinese lo mein in appearance, but it awakens different tastebuds when eaten. And depending on the home or restaurant, you’ll find different versions. The most common, pancit canton, combines an Asian egg noodle with a variety of chopped vegetables, meat (chicken, Chinese sausage and fish cake are popular options), soy sauce and a tangy splash or two of calamansi. In pancit bihon, chefs use a translucent rice noodle as the base for the mix of veggies and meats, and they often enhance it with a few sprinkles of patis (a savory sauce made of fermented fish and salt). A third kind, pancit palabok, features a thick rice noodle topped with a golden shrimp sauce, hard-boiled egg, chicharrón (crushed pork rinds) and other garnishes. Mastery of chopsticks not required!

Many Filipinos eat rice with breakfast, lunch and dinner—and a good number will even have it for dessert!

Biko is a glutinous rice (short-grain, sticky rice) cake that’s mixed and topped with a delectable syrup consisting of coconut milk and brown sugar. And contrary to the name of its main ingredient, biko does not contain gluten, so those with Celiac can enjoy! Because it’s best served warm—though still appealing served at room temperature—biko is considered a comfort food and might feel as good as an affectionate hug from a loved one.

When translated to English, kinilaw literally means “eaten raw.” This raw seafood delicacy is closely related to ceviche or poke—it’s even eaten as a snack or appetizer—but there’s one major difference. In kinilaw, the acid in vinegar is used to “cook” the seafood, which is usually octopus, tuna, swordfish or mackerel mixed with calamansi juice, salt, ginger, chili peppers and other spices. Ceviche dishes, on the other hand, rely on lime juice. Tip: Check the description before ordering.

Filipino cuisine includes a similarly named dish called “kilawin.” Some restaurants will use the names interchangeably for the raw seafood plate, but traditional kilawin features cooked goat, pork or beef instead of seafood.

Typically consumed as an appetizer, these savory spring rolls are just as palate-pleasing served hot as they are cold. And like pancit, there are several varieties that will satisfy vegetarians and carnivores alike.

The most popular is deep-fried lumpia, a rice wrapper filled with meticulously chopped vegetables like bean sprouts, carrots, string beans and, if you choose, morsels of meat (chicken, shrimp, pork).

The non-fried fresh lumpia can include those ingredients plus lettuce, coconut hearts and crushed peanuts along with a dipping sauce made of crushed peanuts, stock and garlic. For the true snacker, bite-size lumpia Shanghai is stuffed with ground pork or beef, minced onion and zesty Asian spices, fried and then enjoyed with either a spicy dip or sweet banana sauce.

EASTERN PROMISE In honor of World Whisky Day on May 19, we’re serving up a half-dozen top Japanese whiskies. Kanpai (“cheers”) from the Land of the Rising Sun! By Nancy Mattia

etter watch out, Macallan. Japanese whisky, with its distinctly silky texture and smooth taste, is so popular right now that even producers in Scotland are attempting to emulate it with Scotch aged in casks made from Japan’s Mizunara oak.

Well, what took them so long? Whisky (that’s the preferred spelling in the Land of the Rising Sun) is nothing new to Japan—the Suntory company built the country’s first whisky distillery in Yamazaki, on the outskirts of Kyoto, back in 1923, and it’s been joined by other well-respected producers since then. Check out our guide to six must-try varieties of this sophisticated sip. If you like what you taste, feel free to explore more— it’s hard to find a so-so pour.

SPIRITS

THE YAMAZAKI SINGLE MALT 12-YEAR-OLD

| MRSID.COM

This is the stuff whisky dreams are made of.

The award-winning spirit—produced by the Yamazaki Distillery, the first to be built in Japan—is made from malted barley and distilled in casks made of Japanese, American and Spanish oak, which contribute to its rich flavor.

It’s aged for 12 years, and the wait is worth it.

You’ll find the aroma is pleasing, even intoxicating: floral with a hint of fruit, including honeydew, plus spice and hay. When you sample it for the first time, close your eyes. Can you detect notes of toffee, stone fruits like plums and even buttered toast? The finish to each sip is intense and lasting.

HIBIKI SUNTORY JAPANESE HARMONY

With a name like “Harmony,” it should come as no surprise that this whisky is blended. (The Japanese word for “harmony” is—you guessed it—“hibiki.”) Its pedigree comes from malt and grain whiskies from three different distilleries.

As its producer, Suntory, notes, it’s “blessed with the riches of Japanese nature and craftsmanship.” And it really does all work together to produce a mild, well-balanced whisky with an abundance of flavor. Take a whiff and you’ll detect rose, lychee and rosemary, along with woodsy notes of pine and sandalwood. When you take a sip, hold it for a moment—you’ll likely taste honey, cinnamon, candied orange peel and white chocolate. The finish is subtle yet tends to linger and delivers a hint of Mizunara (oak).

NIKKA TAKETSURU 12-YEAR-OLD

His family owned a sake brewery but Masataka Taketsuru was more interested in whisky so, in 1918, he took off for Scotland’s University of Glasgow and became the first person of Japanese heritage to study whisky-making. No wonder he’s called “the father of Japanese whisky.”

He turned his passion into profit and eventually founded the Nikka company, which launched its first whisky in 1940. Named after its pioneering head, this full-bodied spirit is distilled in sherry casks, bourbon barrels and American oak. It gets high marks for its mild, blended malt flavor, aromatic fruitiness (plums, cherries, papaya, lemon) and well-balanced taste. A key feature of a worthy whisky is how it tastes on your palate, and the Taketsuru delivers coffee, almonds and a touch of spicy clove. The finish is lush or, as it’s been called by admirers, “fruit salad in a glass.”

AKASHI WHITE OAK

SUNTORY WHISKY TOKI

Toki means “time” in Japanese, and that concept inspired the creation of a whisky that represents how tradition meets innovation. You’ll find that it takes no time at all to appreciate how this light-bodied blended whisky tastes. Made from selected malt and grain whiskies from three different Suntory distilleries, this clear gold spirit offers a nose treat of green apples, honey and basil with palate-pleasing flavors of green grapes, grapefruit, peppermint and thyme. The refreshing citrus notes lead to a sweet and spicy finish that teases vanilla oak, ginger and white pepper. The affordable price of this smooth, versatile whisky also goes down easy. Once you’re hooked on enjoying it as a highball, neat or on the rocks, try it as a hot toddy.

KIKORI WHISKEY

Fun fact about Kikori Whiskey: It’s made from 100 percent rice that’s grown in nutrient-rich soil in a rice paddy along a river in a volcanic area of Kumamoto in southern Japan. And get this: The rice has been cultivated for more than 2,000 years. The rice and pristine groundwater flowing over the rocks contribute to its pleasing flavor and aroma. Smooth and suave—and spelled with an “ey” because it’s aimed at connoisseurs in the United States, where “whiskey” is the preferred spelling—Kikori is aged for more than three years in oak barrels and sherry casks, which your nose knows is a good thing. You can also taste flavorful notes of cinnamon, apples, melon and almonds. The all-important finish?

Clean and bright.

SPRING/SUMMER 2018

If you want a whisky you can drink every day and still pay the mortgage, this one’s for you. A light blend of Japanese and foreign-produced malt and grain whisky, this affordable Eastmeets-West spirit offers an especially fruity nose with apricots, dried fruit and a hint of honey.

It’s smooth with an inviting aroma of smoke and ash. Since it’s not full-bodied like other Japanese whiskies, it’s the bottle to pull off the bar when making a highball or other cocktails. The distillery was founded more than 100 years ago, but it was only in 1984 that the White Oak company built a new distillery dedicated to whisky—and that’s how White Oak blended whisky was born.

GRAPE

Wines by the Water

The weather’s warmer, and with these wise choices the Mediterranean is but a sip away. By Josh Sens

W

ith spring in the air and summer basking just around the corner, our thoughts turn to wines that are suited to the season. We find them in the vineyard-latticed hills of Sicily and Portugal, and along the sun-splashed shores of the Canary Islands, Corsica, Santorini and Sardinia. Here, across a generous swath of the Mediterranean, delicious grape varietals abound, giving rise to light, bright wines of wonderful complexity—qualities that make them ideal for warm-weather drinking.

CANARY ISLANDS

| MRSID.COM

Formed over the course of several million years, this volcanic archipelago—a property of Spain but more geographically proximate to Morocco—has ancient wine-making traditions. But only recently have its vintages gained recognition around the West. When Lindgren thinks of summer on these islands, she thinks of malvasia, a varietal with roots centuries deep.

EVERYDAY s Bodegas los Bermejos, Malvasia Seco Lanzarote, 2016—$19 SPLURGE Ignios Origenes Baboso Negro, Ycoden-DauteIsora, 2012—$40

That’s the common theme. But every region offers something slightly different.

To help us navigate the territory, we’ve looked to Shelley Lindgren, co-owner and wine director of the A16 restaurants in San Francisco and Oakland. One of this country’s leading experts on southern Mediterranean wines, Lindgren was keen to lead us on a tasting tour, replete with personal recommendations for must-try wines at each of our six stops.

CORSICA

SANTORINI

Located 40 miles west of Italy and 80 miles southwest of France, this island is a cultural hybrid: It’s a French territory (and Napoleon’s birthplace), but many of its winemaking traditions are Italian. The three dominant varietals are Nielluccio, Sciacarello and Vermentino. “As someone with an affinity for Italian wines, I find Corsica to be a magical place,” Lindgren says. “There’s a minerally and citrus quality to the wines that I just love.”

EVERYDAY s Domaine, U. Stiliccionu, Vermentino, Ajaccio, 2016—$28 SPLURGE Domaine Comte Abbatucci, “Général de la Révolution,” Vin de France Blanc 2015—$53

On this Greek island in the southern Aegean Sea, the volcanic ash-rich soils are immune to the almost microscopic aphidlike insects known as phylloxera, so many of the vines are centuries old. Among the varietals that flourish is assyrtiko, a grape whose mineral qualities make it great for blending. Then again, Lindgren says, it’s also delicious on its own.

MINHO

SICILY

In the chill of winter, nothing beats a glass of port around a roaring fire. But when the days are long and sunny, Lindgren leans toward the crisp whites of Vinho Verde, from the mountainous province of Minho in northern Portugal.

SID.ss18.grape.indd 77

SARDINIA

You could spend a lifetime exploring the wines of Sicily and still feel you’ve only scratched the surface. Lindgren suggests starting along the volcanic slopes of Mt. Etna, where a host of younger plantings at high elevation provide the fruit for a range of subtle reds and whites.

EVERYDAY s Fattorie Romeo del Castello Allegracore Etna Rosso, 2012—$30 SPLURGE Benanti Serra della Contessa, 2004—$90

An island off the east coast of Italy, this is a starkly beautiful place known for starkly beautiful wines. Lindgren loves Sardinian vermentino, which mingles notes of minerals and stone fruits and pairs magically with a range of foods.

aiming for napa

The valley’s wines are world-class—and so, as savvy travelers are discovering, is its newest boutique hotel, the Archer. By Rita Guarna

id you ever think doing good could be as easy as drinking a glass of wine?

The wildfires that spread through California’s Napa Valley this past fall destroying towns in several counties are now the stuff of legend: They forced some 100,000 people to evacuate their homes and burned nearly 250,000 acres; 40-plus people lost their lives, and more than 6,000 buildings were destroyed.

While many of the area’s vineyards survived unscathed, nearly two dozen were damaged or destroyed. The region’s ability to bounce back depends in part on tourists, and the message is clear: Napa Valley is open for business and not shy about letting folks know it’s counting on the roughly 4 million thirsty visitors who travel there each year.

From Highway 29, the main artery that runs through the valley’s heart, the world seems to consist of just one thing: row upon perfectly symmetrical row of waist-high grapevines. Indeed, there’s hardly a red or white wine that hasn’t been cultivated in Napa since grapes were first grown here in 1838. Yet it’s the Cabernet Sauvignon (known as “the king of reds”) that lures most imbibers, and visitors can sample countless varietals at the roughly 400 wineries. One of the region’s great moments came in 1976, when wines from Napa beat their French counterparts in a blind, side-byside tasting, stunning the world. The competition came to be known as the Judgment of Paris, and it forever changed wine lovers’ perceptions of Napa, solidifying its reputation as a producer of some of the world’s best wines.

First, get oriented by hopping aboard the Napa Valley Wine Train. Yes, it’s touristy, but this threehour ride gives you glimpses of town centers and wineries in Napa, Yountville, Oakville, Rutherford and St. Helena through oversized windows. And the 140-seat train, which departs from downtown Napa, makes stops at various wineries. Or take off for a bird’s-eye tour of the area: A Balloons Above the Valley flight promises sunrise views with coffee and pastries followed by a champagne brunch.

There are many wonderful places to stay, but ku-

dos to the Archer Hotel, a luxury boutique hostelry located in Napa’s downtown on First Street, for opening in November so soon after the devastation in the area. It’s cool enough to take your mind off fires.

If hotels run a gamut from palaces to cozy hideaways, put this brand-new, five-story gem somewhere between, in happy medium territory. Savor the impeccable modern design along with an experience that is curated to a fare-the-well. There are 183 luxurious rooms including 40 balcony-blessed suites, some with cozy private gas fireplaces.

Rooms feature beds outfitted with down duvets and down pillows (hypoallergenic ones available) and in-room laptop-size safes. There are Frette bathrobes, Ursa Major face wipes and Malin+Goetz bath amenities. (That means eucalyptus deodorant, bar soaps of lime, rum and peppermint, and a longhandled bath brush that reaches your everywhere.)

You’ll enjoy complimentary Nespresso, Wi-Fi of course, a work desk and (when in Rome, you know) a wine refrigerator with temperature control. Opening very soon is a rooftop spa created by the famed Francis & Alexander design team, which promises to pamper you with amenities galore and a panoramic countryside view of this oenophile’s paradise.

That brings us to Charlie Palmer Steak, an eatery captained by executive chef Jeffery (yes, it’s spelled that way) Russell, a Culinary Institute of America grad who once worked at Manhattan’s Michelinstarred Aureole and more recently delighted discerning diners in D.C. and Denver. Locally sourced ingredients and artisanal American beef claim the spotlight here, though of course the menu’s Wagyu options take their inspiration from the Far East. Try the Bone-On Tomahawk for Two or the 18-ounce ribeye. (You’ve got non-beef alternatives, too, such as the Snake River Farms Pork Chop or the PanRoasted Black Cod.) Don’t dally overtime at the Archer, however— there’s too much exploring to do. Downtown Napa, on the banks of the Napa River, is filled with shops, bars, restaurants and—yes, wine, at several wine bars. Start by taking a stroll and admiring the art

courtesy of the Arts Council Napa Valley; every year, it curates a new set of sculptures from top artists as part of its Napa ARTwalk program. Also downtown is the historic Napa Valley Opera House.

Another landmark, but of a far different variety, is the Oxbow Public Market. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., it sells everything from fresh fish and produce to kitchen gadgets and ceramic gift items.

Besides getting your fill of good eats, you can listen to live music, watch a cooking demo and—yes again, partake of wine tastings.

Fact is, there’s beer there too, but you didn’t come here for beer. For the winery experience you did come for, it’s wise to do a little advance research to see which locations best match your interests. But you might start your day at the Beringer estate.

Founded in 1876 by German expat Jacob Beringer, it’s the oldest continuously operating winery in Napa. In addition to a tasting of wines, you can poke around the Rhine House, a Victorian manse. Check out the stunning stained-glass windows, which in 1884 cost a then-whopping $6,000 to install.

Serious oenophiles might opt for Cliff Lede, considered among the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards. Plus you’ll sip your wine amid the owner’s favorite art pieces, including “Twin 6’ Hearts” by Jim Dine and Tony Scherman’s “Grace Kelly.” Or make an appointment to visit Dana Estates in Rutherford, home to some of the most highly rated cabs around.

If you want to know what made Napa famous, visit Robert Mondavi. Established in 1966, it was the first major winery to open in the valley after Prohibition, and its eponymous founder is credited with doing more to put Napa on the map than any other viticulturist. Before he came along, wine wasn’t the staple in American households that it is today.

In fact, even you—after this visit—may never think of wine in quite the same way. “Voting with a visit” for the future of Napa is surely one of the tastiest, most warming ways you’ll ever do a public-spirited deed. Despite the fires of 2017, the wise betting says it won’t be long before Napa is better than ever.

We can all raise our glasses and drink to that.

Opposite page, clockwise from left: A Balloons Above the Valley flight will ensure a bird’s-eye view of the area; the Napa Valley Wine Train offers a three-hour ride and stops at several wineries; the Archer Hotel’s rooftop is perfect for relaxing in either the sun or umbrella-provided shade; the Charlie Palmer Steak eatery offers artisan American beef and locally sourced ingredients; the Archer’s suites feature down duvets and pillows, along with Frette bathrobes and Malin+Goetz bath amenities; and Charlie Palmer’s Doughnut Wheel is the perfect ending to any meal.
