FINE MOTORCARS merCedes-benz sl 550 | January 2012
With much anticipation, Mercedes-Benz is set to introduce the new SL 550 – a two-door coupe/roadster that combines the classic heritage of the SL legend with a new vision; the result is a stylishly sporty and elegant luxury sports car with balanced proportions one would expect from the German moniker. Compared with its predecessor, which has shown little change over the past decade, the 2013 is designed to be more agile and athletic.
o n the heels of Stephen Cannon’s
appointment as the new president and
CEO for Mercedes-Benz USA – a role that
will oversee responsibility for the Mercedes-Benz,
Maybach, Sprinter and smart brands stateside, and
account for more than 1,700 employees and 356
dealers nationwide, Mercedes-Benz announces a
new addition to their line-up: the new SL. Stepped
in a 60-year tradition, SL affords considerably
more comfort and athletic character, setting new
standards in the luxury roadster class; this includes
amazing everyday usability, making the model the
most versatile of all sports cars.
“There are around 900 million cars in the world
and thousands of models. But there is only a handful
of automotive icons. Our SL,” notes Dr. Dieter
Zetsche, chairman of the Board of Management of
Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, “is
one of them: It has class, it has style, it is the ultimate
in comfort and luxury. And it combines all that with
an incredibly sporty and dynamic character. You
would struggle to find a car that embodies Gottlieb
Daimler’s aspiration more perfectly than our new
SL - the best or nothing.”
For the first time, the SL is being produced almost
entirely from aluminum and consequently weighs
considerably less than its predecessor; weighing
around 242 pounds less than it would by utilizing
with previous steel technology. Its highly rigid all-
aluminum bodyshell provides the basis for agile,
sporty handling that has been taken to an entirely
new level, coupled with outstanding bodyroll and

redefining

ride characteristics. Even better driving dynamics
come courtesy of the new direct injection engine,
which is more powerful and economical than the
outgoing generation.
And according to Dr. Thomas Rudlaff, responsible
for the aluminum bodyshell at Mercedes-Benz,
“The result is perceptible and measurable. Less
weight means improved performance and efficiency.
In other words, the driving pleasure increases and
the environmental impact decreases.”
RetRactable HaRd top witHoptional MaGic SKY contRol
The sixth generation of the SL also offers a
retractable hard top that can be operated using
a space-saving electrohydraulic mechanism,
converting the SL from coupe to roadster and back
again in a matter of seconds; going up or down in
less than 20. In contrast to its predecessor, the new
SL offers two versions of the retractable hard top
- glass or the unique panoramic roof with MAGIC
SKY CONTROL. The transparent roof switches
between light and dark at the push of a button. In
the light setting it is virtually transparent, offering
an open-air experience even in cold weather; in its
dark state the roof provides welcome shade and
prevents the interior from heating up in bright
sunlight. The frame of both versions is made from
magnesium, reducing weight by around 13 pounds
compared with the outgoing model, lowering the
vehicle’s center of gravity and delivering greater
agility.

The new model remains true to its tradition as a
technological trendsetter with two innovations:

no water splash on the windshield to disrupt driver
visibility and a perfectly clean windshield. The
water also stays on the windshield, with no risk of
overspray into the passenger cabin when the roof
is down.
Frontbass system: Equally unique is the
FrontBass system, which makes intelligent use of
the spaces in the aluminum structures forward of
the footwell. These spaces function as resonating
chambers for the woofers and mark the first time
ever that a sound system has been integrated into
the body-in-white. As a result, the new SL features
clear, rich bass sounds that deliver a concert hall
ambience even with the top down. The new layout
has the added bonus of freeing up space in the
doors and interior.
new StandaRdS in aeRodYnaMicS
The design of the new SL is not only aesthetically
beautiful, it also boasts outstanding aerodynamic
characteristics, giving the roadster top marks in its
segment in three crucial areas:
• Lowest wind noise, virtually on par with a closed sedan
• Best comfort during open-air driving, meaning the roof can stay down even at high speed
• Virtually no accumulation of dirt on the side windows
To coincide with the launch of the 2013 SL,
Mercedes-Benz will be offering a special-edition
model, the “Edition 1,” for a limited period.
The “Edition 1” is superbly equipped and comes
standard with AMG 19-inch alloy wheels, designo

i t cannot be denied that golf is, and always has
been, a gentlemen’s game. Yet insofar as we are
willing to accept the good with the bad, it must
be conceded that this gentlemen’s game also comes
at a gentlemen’s price.
Many prestigious members of the golf community
have recently joined together around the rallying
cry that golf has become prohibitively expensive —
an issue which has special significance for younger
practitioners of the sport. A good set of working
golf clubs is expensive enough, without worrying
about general equipment, course and driving range
memberships, coaching fees, and a myriad of other
considerations that might lead a parent to opt for
the soccer ball or pair of running cleats.
It will come as no surprise, then, that
organizations are sprouting up all over the nation
to tackle this issue head on. One of San Diego
County’s chief advocates for affordable access to
golf is the North County Junior Golf Association
(NCJGA). Led by PGA member and California
Top-50 Golf Instructor David Emerick, NCJGA has
been working within the community for 13 years.
The not-for-profit was born out of Emerick’s vision
that “any child who wants to learn to play the game
of golf should have the opportunity.”
At the core of its outreach, NCJGA affords
children ages 6-18 the opportunity to compete in
youth events. Competition, Emerick says, “develops
qualities such as sportsmanship, initiative, and
SPOTLIGHT non-profit | January 2012
Unifying community resources within North San Diego County, the North County Junior Golf Association is on a mission to simply make junior golf accessible, affordable and fun for kids of all ages and skill levels.
Kidsby luKe trAvis

Kids leadership.” These days, though, junior event entry
fees can range in cost anywhere from $200-$400,
not including travel or hotel accommodations. “This
is why the NCJGA is a non-profit corporation,” he
states. “We raise money through donations and offer
kids scholarships to play in our events as well as
other tournaments.” A NCJGA event runs parents
around $45-$50 — at least four times less than the
traditional price.
Youth golf tournaments are, for the most part,
organized on an age-range basis; meaning, youth
are paired against others their age, regardless of skill
level, experience, or competitive motivation. The
result is that tournaments usually end up favoring a
few “elite” golfers who have been playing since an
extremely early age. Often, new or prospective junior
golfers can become intimidated by the unequal skill
distribution within age-brackets, and opt for other
competitive sports that are more accessible.
Correcting these imbalances in the current
junior golfing landscape is a major platform for
NCJGA. In fact, Emerick came up with the idea
for the organization when his own son was barred
from entry to a tournament on account of being too
young. NCJGA has established tournaments that
pair youth competitors together based on skill-level
and experience. The organization has found an
innovative way to do this by creating what Emerick
calls “flights within the division so kids can compete
with others of the same abilities.”
NCJGA has also been reaching out to other
San Diego community organizations to expand the
scope of its programming. From their canned-food-
drive Thanksgiving Shootout and holiday support
of Toys For Tots, to their current collaborative
project with the North County Boys and Girls Clubs
— which links up golf club donors with aspiring
young players, NCJGA is doing its best to invest its
time and energies back into important community
initiatives.
As NCJGA and similar organizations continue
to expand within the local community, it seems
likely that golf will begin to become more accessible
again to more children. After all, as Emerick makes
a point to note, “It’s not all about the kids unless it’s
about ALL the kids.” F

t outing a full schedule of sporting events
local to Southern California, the winter
season once again debuts the fashion [and
performance] of athletes and fans alike. From
the tennis court to the fairway greens, an iconic
embroidered crocodile has since 1933 transcended
style and passion for the game; not to mention an
international audience and a cult-like following.
The brand continues its new global trend of the
“Unconventional Chic” mantra, extending fashion-
forward sportswear that allots consumers an
experience of comfort and leisure with a touch of
upscale elegance.
Rene Lacoste – originator of the brand and
legendary tennis player who won three French Open
titles and acquired two Wimbledon victories in the
1920s – was responsible for bringing the traditional
white polo tee and embroidered crocodile to life.
Alongside his wife, Simone, and daughter, Catherine,
both award-winning professional golfers, Lacoste
and his legendary family of athletes revolutionized
fashion sportswear – even expanding their brand
to include everything from high-end clothing and
footwear, to fragrances, watches and eyewear, along
with a home line of bedding and towels. Brand
Ambassadors in tennis and golf are a natural fit,
including the support of top ranked world golfers
Yani Tseng and Cristie Kerr, as well as Virginie
Lagoutte-Clément, Miguel-Angel Jimenez, Anders
Hansen and Raphael Jacquelin.

Baptista brings new direction to the crocodile’s
2012 Spring Collection. Most recently, the label was
guided by Christophe Lemaire for nearly a decade;
securing a more streetwise vibe with bolder colors
and new silhouettes. Baptista’s vision incorporates
volume, color and fabrics that are intended to make
movement “stylishly nonchalant.”
“The 2012 Spring Collection is not about reviving
the past or updating references, but expressing what
Lacoste is today, through a functional silhouette
meant from him and her yet never unisex, and a
complete and versatile wardrobe,” notes the fashion
icon. “With an obsession for reconstructing essential
pieces from scratch, the designer turns them into
something totally new yet reminiscent of one’s
personal history, strangely familiar. Nothing is what
it looks [like at] first; the Lacoste signature pique
dress gets softer when knitted in silk, sophisticated
yet still casual when fastened in the back. Rugby
shirts turn into hybrid dresses, their authentic striped
fabric patched with solid colors in an architectural
pattern. A tee-shirt dress has something of a 20’s
bathing suit. Outerwear pieces are outfits in their
own right when Vareuses jackets are cut in the
thinnest lambskin.”
The collection would not be complete, of course,
without Lacoste’s signature white petit-pique jersey
polo tees and pastel favorites [including their
classic looks of fitted khakis and white capri pants].
Fashion consumers both male and female will also
see much of the striped-hooded sweatshirts and the
V-neck striped collared sweater vests as staple pieces
trending for the spring. However, for the stylishly
sporty and more avant-garde clientele, there are
edgier pieces of active wear utilizing faux leather
trim.
Volume: Stretched proportions turn key Lacoste
styles into new pieces. The polo dress comes full

length or with exaggerated dropped armholes.
Clothes meant to make each movement stylishly
nonchalant.
Colors: Navy blue as the Lacoste timeless black,
soft hues of grey, beige and caramel, with blocks
or vibrant colors: flamenco red, Sumatra blue, deep
jewel green, acid yellow.
Fabrics: From almost liquid fabrics to cotton and
soft canvas. An art deco inspired print made of
interwoven “L,” that comes in a silk georgette and
wool voile. Leather details and trimmings, maxi
cotton pique and oversized cotton linen knits.
It is interesting to see Lacoste’s vision of
the crocodile evolve and progress, becoming a
recognizable brand worldwide; reaching a wholesale
turnover of 1.4 billion Euros, with 90 percent of
sales in France alone and two Lacoste items sold
every second internationally.
Looking back, who would have thought that the
invention of the embroidered crocodile started as a
nickname for Rene Lacoste – who held a reputation
for being a tenacious player, never giving up on his
prey; thus establishing the core values of the French
label, while maintaining a competitive edge within
the sporting industry. His vision was simple, having
created the light and breathable cotton providing
athletes the freedom of movement to play with a
sense of ease. “The Lacoste polo shirt is more than
a worldwide bestseller: the embroidered crocodile
on the heart, gives it an undeniable touch of
distinction. It is a symbol of relaxed elegance which
perfectly embodies the ‘easy chic’ philosophy of the
brand.” F

Coffee or tea? A simple question of choice
for the New Year.
Over the past decade, several studies
have attributed both black and green tea with
the ability to improve overall health – staving off
conditions such as stroke, heart disease and even
cancer; though it may not offer a cure, tea does
comfort our aches and keeps the winter chill away.
But tea is so much more!
Coupled with fine china, delectable desserts,
pastries and finger sandwiches, afternoon tea – also
referenced as high tea at times – not only offers a
unique approach to celebrating life’s memorable
moments, but also affords a daily escape to enjoy
another’s company in solace. In the early 19th
century, ‘tea time’ filled the gap between meals when
dinner was typically served at 8 p.m.; as lifestyles
changed, afternoon tea has become more of a treat
– no matter the time of day.
Whether it is organic or botanically-based,
blended or flavored, infused or served loose, tea
has the uncommon ability to culturally transcend
the human experience – a simple beverage that is
enjoyed daily throughout the globe in a number of
varied traditions and techniques. Even locally, tea is
pursued with passion for its flavor and quality. For
your consideration, here are a few ‘afternoon tea’
selections of choice.
LUXURY teA time | January 2012
With revelry and great tradition, afternoon tea [or tea at anytime] is more than just a set of teacups, teapots and vintage tins on display; rather it is a
celebration of life’s simple pleasures. Make sure to step up your daily routine this year and enjoy the art, the health and the many splendid flavors of tea.

Timeless and unpretentious, Tea Upon
Chatsworth is passionate about afternoon tea.
Noting its flavor, warmth and history, the English-
styled tea room continues the simple tradition;
much more than just a healthy beverage, it is an art.
Proprietor Joy Walsh has shared her enthusiasm
and artistry of tea with clientele since Tea Upon
Chatsworth’s opening in 2004; a vision that began
as a catering service and worldwide quest touring
top tea rooms in England and China – even lessons
from tea master and author, Bruce Richardson. With
a menu designed with a wide range of palette in
mind, the boutique tea room in Point Loma touts a
rather extensive selection; from Ceylon [Sri Lanka]
or India’s full-bodies black to the lighter more subtle
green or white from Japan or China, and oolong in
between. Everyday tea classics remain on the menu
year round, while others are rotated seasonally.
“Seeing the joy and happiness it brought to every
person that experienced this beautiful and timeless
tradition is what inspired me,” noted Walsh. “People
can’t help but fall in love with tea. Our menus
center around the seasons, which make everyday
tea special. Special events such as Valentine’s Day,
Mother’s Day, and Princess [themed teas], [along
with] some featuring notable speakers and authors
are listed on our website, too.”
Beyond “High Tea,” Walsh goes the extra mile
by offering events and classes that teach patrons of
all ages the “Art of Tea;” including patience, the
importance of communication and relationships,
how to act in social settings, and reviews a brief
history of the tradition. Laden with lace and florals,
Tea Upon Chatsworth undoubtedly radiates an
irresistible charm for tea time. F

SPORT TOP GOLF COURSES | January 2012
W hether you are a weekend duffer or a
scratch golfer, San Diego is without
a doubt a premier destination for the
sport of golf. With a number of courses designed
by Gary Roger Baird, Tom Fazio, Gary Player and
Ted Robinson, it is no surprise that San Diego
is consistently ranked among the top 50 golf
destinations in the world; not to mention a 2008
nod from Golf Digest as a top 10 – alongside Hawaii,
Ireland, Phoenix and Myrtle Beach.
Southern California certainly holds its share of
notable courses and fairways; from Pelican Hill in
Newport Beach and Morgan Run in Del Mar, to
the greens at Admiral Baker, La Jolla and Fairbanks
Ranch. Serving a game with unforgettable
panoramas of the coast and rolling hillside slopes,
along with near-perfect temperatures year-round,
San Diego is home to more than 90 courses and
corporate offices for several top brands of the
sport. In celebrating an active month of golf in
San Diego, FINE offers the following tour of local
courses of choice – chosen based on accessibility,
course challenge/difficulty, hospitality reviews and
landscape.
Aviara Golf Resort Location: 7447 Batiquitos Drive, Carlsbad
Architect: Arnold Palmer
Head Golf Pro: Renny Brown, PGA
Course Features: 18-holes over 7,007 yards with a par of 72
Overlooking the ecological reserve at Batiquitos
Lagoon, Aviara Golf Club holds several notable
accolades as the only course in San Diego designed
by Arnold Palmer; the Club was named by Golf
Digest and Golf Magazine as one of the best resort
golf courses in the U.S., as well as the #1 golf resort
in Southern California by the readers of Condé Nast
Traveler. The course is complemented by premier
golf facilities that include a practice driving range,
putting and pitching greens, an industry-leading
GPS system on all golf carts, and an upscale golf
shop.
Kip Puterbaugh’s Aviara Golf Academy – the
longest running golf school in the west (opening
in 1987) – is consistently ranked as a Top 25 U.S.
golf school; Puterbaugh is among the Top 100 golf

Desert Willow Golf Resort has emerged as a
local favorite in the Coachella Valley; surrounded
by a desert scene of palms and jagged peaks from
the San Jacinto Mountain range, the resort is well
received for both its natural beauty and its game. In
fact, Golf Digest named the Firecliff Course one of
the “Places To Play;” this tournament-tested layout
is one of only three courses in California and one of
the best 50 in the U.S. to receive this distinction in
terms of conditioning. It is a true test of skill where
golfers must negotiate their way around extensive
natural areas, over 100 bunkers, and numerous
water features.
The Palm Desert Golf Academy at Desert Willow
is a world-class golf instruction facility providing
instruction, golf clubs, club repair and group clinics.
PGA instruction offers guests state-of-the-art video
computer swing analysis, golf fitness evaluations and

Course Features: Champions Course – 18 holes with a par of 36-36-72
Since opening in the coastal foothills of North
San Diego, La Costa Resort and Spa has held a
long, distinguished history with the greatest players
in golf [think Hope, Sinatra and even Wadkins],
dating back to the Tournament of Champions
in 1969. Most recently hosting the Match Play
Championships from 1999-2006 and the LGPA
Tour’s inaugural Kia Classic in 2010 [with plans
to host the 2012 event as well], the resort also
celebrates the dramatic renovation of their North
Course; the new Champions Course – under the
direction of Damian Pascuzzo and Steve Pate –
embraces the integrity of the original Wilson design
with modifications to all 18 holes, bunkers, fairway
routing and subtle elevation changes [not to mention

As a result, the new course extends a “resort-
friendly” aptitude, while offering a challenging and
engaging golf experience.
“We are excited to begin a new chapter in
La Costa’s legacy,” said Paul McCormick, vice
president and general manager at La Costa Resort
and Spa regarding the Fall 2011 debut of the new
course. “La Costa has been synonymous with the
top echelon of golf for more than 40 years, hosting
37 PGA Tour events. It is important that we keep its
championship spirit alive.”

Famed for its unique Pete Dye design, playability

incredible elevations of tee boxes and well-bunkered
greens. Ascending to the top of the elevated tee box
of the signature 16th enables you to fully appreciate
the majesty of this course, named one of Golf
Magazine’s “Top 100 You Can Play.”
Accessible to golfers of every level, La Quinta
Resort & Club and PGA WEST features five courses;
two at the resort and a trio just a chip shot away at
PGA WEST; each is masterwork of breathtaking
beauty and challenging, yet forgiving play. Home to
the Jim McLean Golf School — rated one of the
top teaching facilities in the country by U.S. News &
World Report, CNN and Travel & Leisure — golf at La
Quinta Resort will bring out the best in every aspect
of your game. Considering the overall experience,
it becomes clear why the International Association
of Golf Tour Operators named La Quinta Resort &

of the Year.”

Making a lasting impression, the Redhawk Golf

Fream in 2002; with a storied history of hosting
many local PGA Chapter golf tournaments, the
course originally opened in the early nineties and
consistently received top honors nationally.
Challenging golfers to use every club in
possession, the course offers dramatic changes in
elevation, lush landscape and an “island green.”
Redhawk has 15 driving-range stations, combining
grass and mats that enable golfers of every skill
level to build their game; the range and separate
five greens to putt or chip are a great place to start
mastering the intricacies of the game.

the Pacific, the Torrey Pines Golf Club – easily
recognized as the premier course in the region and
host to the PGA Tour for the past four decades
– is widely known for both its South and North
championship 18-hole courses. Playing host to the
Farmer’s Insurance Open in the winter, along with
the San Diego City Amateur Golf Championships
and the Junior World Golf Championships in
early summer, Torrey Pines is the only municipal
golf course ever selected by the USGA for a U.S.
Open Golf Tournament. Often referenced as
“Pebble Beach South,” both courses are long and
challenging – but do offer unrivaled panoramas of
the coast and ocean expanse. The signature hole on
Torrey Pines South is the Par 3, #3 Hole; for Torrey
Pines North, it is Par 3, # 6 Hole.
Torrey Pines was the site of perhaps the most
memorable modern day U.S. Open Championship,
when in 2008, under the typically brutal conditions
of this major tournament, an injured Tiger Woods
defeated Rocco Mediate during a sudden death
playoff after 90 grueling holes of exciting golf. The
club also offers one of the largest on-course golf
shops in the U.S., expert instruction and advanced
golf schools. FWeb: torreypinesgolfcourse.com

While the desert valley of Palm Springs, La Quinta and Rancho Mirage have long been a playground for the entertainment industry – think Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra, snowbirds from Canada and vacationers from around the world, a progressive dining scene with notable chefs has begun to emerge within the past decade; golf may still be the main attraction, but ‘dining in Coachella’ helps make the drive from San Diego worthwhile.
Travelers to the Palm Springs desert region
typically go for the golf – a popular pastime
in the valley with nearly 270 courses and
almost as many golf clubs. In taking note of the
region’s “blessed” fairway greens, both the PGA and
LPGA host annual tournaments in the winter; the
most recognizable being, The Humana Challenge
(previously known as the Bob hope Classic) and the
Kraft Nabisco Championship (an LPGA “major”).
Given the number of visitors, the Coachella
Valley has also become a destination for fine dining.
The top tier of dining away from clubs includes
Cuistot and La Spiga Ristorante Italiano, both of
which are deserving of reservations. One of the top
toques at a private venue is Chef Hugh Duffy at
The Reserve. Not only is The Reserve a spectacular
club with beautiful residences, but it also has
outstanding dining; the club is known for their
Annual Governor’s Cup tournament and the Parker
95 dinner in February.
More readily accessible to the public, as well as
members, are La Quinta Resort & Club [Morgan’s
in the Desert with Chef Jimmy Schmidt at the
helm] and Indian Wells Resort with a menu led by
Chef Chris Olson. Schmidt, who has also directed
Corvette Racing’s sports nutrition for the past 12
years, is known for a philosophy of nutrition and
flavor – crafting what he can on-site, including fresh
garden selections, oils and a spectrum of salts (i.e.
porcini salt, syrah salt, cabernet salt). With a staff

When it comes to throwing dinner and cocktail parties, David Rogow’s philosophy is reassuring:
“Give me a challenge and I will make it happen.”
Since launching his six-year old company “Dinners by David,” the restaurant veteran has catered epicurean events throughout San Diego County for as little as two people up to as many as 2000.
Catering everything from high-profile clientele, to everyday folk planning backyard BBQ’s and special events. Wine and Cocktails often fit into the equation.

of 35, Olson indicated they make all of their stocks,
sauces, and dressings in-house – a technique that
helps to control flavor and the quality of ingredients
employed. He also noted that their Pastry Chef,
Juan Morales, is up for the 2012 season of Top
Chefs Desserts.
From finding inspiration to crafting signature
dishes, Chefs Duffy, Schmidt and Olson offer FINE
readers a bit of insight to their craft. Here are their
thoughts:
Q: What inspires you the most?
Hugh Duffy [The Reserve Club]: The ability to
be creative on a daily basis. We run more like a free
standing restaurant than a club. [He also indicated
that as a part of the farm-to-table concept he enjoys
working with local growers in the Coachella Valley
and Thermal areas.] We can call for produce and
product and it is delivered the same day.
Chris Olson [Indian Wells Resort]: A happy
guest! Making sure that we are doing the best that
we can with what we have, using fresh ingredients.
Having the guest happy and satisfied so that they
will be back is very important as is nurturing our
staff and seeing our crew grow and develop.
Jimmy Schmidt [Morgan’s in the Desert]:
The fresh ingredients; because of the area in which
we live we get pretty much whatever we want in
ingredients. It is all about the ingredients. I like big
flavors, and also, big nutrition as well. The dishes
are big and bold.
Q: What gets you the most excited?
Duffy: Satisfaction of diners; conversations with
our members and hearing their expressions about
their dining experiences.
Olson: A full dining room and we have to cutoff
our reservations because we have a full house. Also,
getting positive responses from guests when I go out
into the dining room; [it’s all about] having people
leave with a smile.
Schmidt: Every ingredient that goes into a dish
adds a unique flavor, they add layers of flavor. Every
component present in the dishes can be tasted.
I like to have huge flavor profiles rich with flavor
and not rich with butter and fat; the dishes are then
incredibly pronounced in flavor.
Q: What do you like to work with the most?
Duffy: The protein I like the best is beef. It is
versatile and expands the culinary experience. I also
like to use infused olive oils.
Olson: Pork is pretty versatile. As a result, we have
pork prime rib, green chili pork tostado, pork osso
(continued from page 48)
50 fine MaGazine San DieGo
bucco, pork rack, and pork chops on the menu.
Schmidt: I like to work with celery root, reforming
into raviolis, gratins and pasta, and even risotto
with raw celery root cut into the shape of rice –
blanched for 60 seconds and blended into a puree
of celery root; it has earthiness with truffles and
great nutritional value. We also have a great beef
program with the guys out of Nebraska with a
1970s-style of prime beef.
Q: What spice is indispensable / that you cannot do without?
Duffy: Fresh basil.
Olson: Cumin and coriander. We buy the whole
seeds and they are roasted and then cracked, then
used.
Schmidt: Fresh spiced ginger. I like its nutritional
qualities, emulsion qualities and flavoring. It adds
layers of flavor and it is indigenous to the U.S. as
well; not just an Asian thing.
Q: What chef had the most influence on your training and development?
Duffy: Wolfgang Puck. He was an inspiration with
California cuisine.
Olson: I had a lot of experience with down-to-
earth, realistic people including the chefs at Four
Seasons Chicago (Mark Baker) and James Boyce at
Loews in Coronado; [and also] Edward Becker of
The Americana, a great gorge resort in New Jersey.
Schmidt: Madeleine Kamman, she absolutely was
my mentor. She took me from the dark world of
electrical engineering to the bright world of food
and wine.
Q: Do you have a signature dish on your menu?
Duffy: A caramelized day boat scallop with braised
leeks and Champagne caviar sauce. Another is a
squab braised, with natural reduction with a little
huckleberry in it, and Parisian vegetables in a cup
on the side.
Olson: Braised short ribs and another is lobster
macaroni and cheese.
Schmidt: Porcini beef tenderloin that is prepared in
a vacuum treatment and flavoring, and mushrooms
make it very special. We use Prime Certified Angus
beef and it is the only program in this area of the
world, using beef raised to 1970 prime standard. I
cut my teeth at 21 in Detroit when ‘men were men’
and ‘prime was prime’ and three martini lunches
were normal. F

W hen you think of luxury travel, what
comes to mind? Take a moment and
really think about it; where is the most
exotic destination you have ever been, or would
even like to visit at some point? Are you, perhaps,
still searching? After a recent holiday for two, we
discovered the Four Seasons Resort in Bora Bora –
without a doubt, it is a true tropical paradise and
quite worthy of its 2011 title as the #1 Resort in
French Polynesia [and #23 in the world] by Conde
Nast Traveler.
From Los Angeles, the flight to Tahiti is a mere
eight hours with a quick island hop to Bora Bora;
however, you can only make the transfer in daylight,
as the airport runway is not equipped with proper
lighting for night flights. As a side note, the Bora
Bora airport is built on its own island or “motu,” as
it is called in Tahitian. Once landed at this tiny little
airport with one gate, you are taken to your hotel
of choice via water taxi. In our case, an intimate
staff of three assisted our transfer via a “small” 40-
foot yacht, whisking us to the Four Seasons along
the eastern atoll of the island. In addition to luxury
resort accommodations [including 100 overwater
bungalows and seven beachfront villas, all designed
with traditional thatched roofs and decorated with
indigenous artwork], there are also year-round
private residences available for purchase; lots start
at $2 million Euro, with ocean or lagoon views,
along with private beaches and the enjoyment of

all-inclusive resort amenities.
The island itself is volcanic, encircled by sand-
fringe islets and an outer coral reef. As a result,
the water is typically warm, calm and unbelievably
clear! The lagoon is relatively shallow, and lends
well to aquatic-centered activities, including a
snorkel safari, scuba and kayaking. And for the more
romantic gesture, a sunset sail aboard a private
catamaran is an enticing escape.
From the moment you step onto the waterside
yacht at the airport to your arrival at the dock for
check-in, the service and hospitality is undeniably
priceless; you are greeted with some of the kindest,
warm-hearted people you will ever meet – which we
were told is the “Tahitian Way.”
Our holiday for two in Bora Bora is simply the
best we have ever taken. Why, you may ask?
Oh my, where to begin? Was it the helpful
and friendly staff, or could it have been all the
complimentary water activities? Stand up paddle
surfing was our favorite, as it gives you a broader
panorama of the sea life below – countless colors
of fish and oversized rays home to the lagoon and
coral gardens. Or, on second thought, was it the
much welcomed warmth of sun kissed afternoons,
the light breeze of the trade winds, dining alfresco,
the unspoiled vast tracks of deserted white sand
beaches, “coconut island,” the massive poolside
cabanas or even the local flavors of Polynesia-South
Pacific cuisine? So many choices!
Spanning a mere 16.9 square

exper ience, this quintessent ia l
tropical paradise is truly
unl ike anything you have ever

fInesd.com 55
For us, it was actually the accommodations
themselves at the Four Seasons; the overwater
bungalows, impeccably decorated, are simply
magnificent! Upon check-in, you are greeted with
cold towels and a drink; and somehow, the staff
knows your name. A concierge then drives you via
golf cart to your bungalow, over the winding and
massive wooden roadway-bridge structures. Our
room number was 423 and unveiled an incredible
unobstructed view across the lagoon to the slopes
along the center island. The multi-room, single
story bungalows are the largest in French Polynesia
and are often referenced as being “stadium sized”
in several travel publications; with well appointed
furnishings, the living space offers an open flow
throughout, unfolding to an outside dining loggia
and deck.
The bedroom suite and spa extends to a private
outdoor deck for sun bathing and lounging; and
without any hesitation, take a dip into the warm
waters of the lagoon below. Complimentary
snorkel gear is available on the patio, along with
complimentary robes, slippers and beach bags.
The bungalows also feature floor viewing panels
throughout the residence for a glimpse at the
underwater world of Bora Bora. By far, the private
patio with direct and easy access to the lagoon was
an unexpected treat that tops the list for this locale.
It is good to know that whenever you go, there
is really no off season in Bora Bora. The water
comes from desalination and is safe to drink; and
even though French and Tahitian are the official
languages of the famed Society Islands, English
is extremely common. Wedding and anniversary
celebrations are certainly a natural fit, but in any
case, it deserves top spot on your bucket list. You
can certainly take our word for it! F

With the trust and confidence of his clientele and peers, Dr. Scott Miller – a La Jolla-based Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with 15 years of expertise – extends an artistic sense and an aesthetic eye to his craft; qualities that separate good results from great ones. And according to Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center’s philosophy, “The only evidence of the surgeon’s presence should be the restoration of beauty and vitality, [along with] improved contours and confidence.”
I n today’s ultra competitive world of cosmetic
surgery, too many surgeons have turned away from
providing quality medical care that puts patients
first; they have replaced time honored treatment
traditions with an overemphasis on lavish offices
and flashy marketing. However, Miller Cosmetic
Surgery Center represents a paradigm shift, placing
the focus back on patients and the outcomes they
expect. In reality, this game-changing client-service
approach is an example of “what is old is new.”
And the result? Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center is a

thriving practice fueled by word-of-mouth referrals
and a long list of happy patients that even span
multiple generations.
“If today’s cosmetic surgery practices are like
libraries, then too many patients are confused by the
covers they see, and they wind up with books they
don’t like,” says Board Certified Plastic Surgeon,
Dr. Scott Miller. He explains that with the deluge of
conflicting information about surgical procedures,
separating truth from fiction can be a challenge.
Add to that a surgeon’s lack of identifying his or her
patient’s particular needs, and the end results are
clients who are disappointed with their procedures.
Caring Counts:an innovative approaCh
Dr. Miller distills his client service model into
four components; Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center’s
P4P (Passion 4 Performance) approach addresses
the shortcomings of many of today’s cosmetic
surgery practices. P4P comprises quality, integrity,
safety and service. This four-part system has two
objectives: pleasing results and satisfied patients.
“Consistently meeting these two goals is what allows
my staff and me to sleep well at night,” notes Dr.
Miller.
• Quality can be summed up by the Italian proverb, “Trifles make perfection, but perfection is no trifle.” To achieve the highest form of a surgeon’s art requires attention to the subtlest of details.
• Integrity demands that surgeons act in-line with their stated values. For example, does the doctor follow through on his or her mission statement? “At the end of the day,” states Dr. Miller, “you are what you do, not what you say.”
• Safety simply stated, means putting the patient’s health and well-being above all else.
SPOTLIGHT DR. mILLeR | January 2012
60 fine magazine san diego
Preoperative and postoperative care must be as attentive and precise as the surgery itself.
• service is about caring for both the patient’s physical and emotional well-being. It requires listening to his or her needs and being present and in-the-moment during all patient interactions.
So how many plastic surgeons meet the P4P
standard? According to Dr. Miller, in any major city,
you will find just a handful. “While many doctors
attend to their work dutifully, in my experience only
a few are truly passionate about what they do. It
may take additional research and time to track one
down, but once you do, you’ll have a surgeon for
life,” he says.
In truly caring about his craft and ability to
help his patients, Dr. Miller also participates in the
Interface International Volunteer Surgery Program.
This multispecialty group travels to Mexico to help
children with disfiguring birth defects or trauma;
patients receive medical care that they could
otherwise not afford. On a recent visit, Dr. Miller was
particularly struck by the case of two brothers. One
was 17-years-old. He was a poorly educated recluse
who, throughout his life, had viewed the deformity
on his forehead as a curse. His younger brother was
only four. The older brother brought him in, against
the initial wishes of his ashamed parents. The
child had the same mark. Thanks to the love and
insistence of his older brother and the commitment

of compassionate, dedicated professionals, the
4-year-old received a new beginning.
how we Look affeCts how we feeL
Dr. Miller and his staff pursue the highest
aesthetic ideals. A visit to the state-of-the-art facility
on the campus of the renowned Scripps Hospital
La Jolla reveals a cosmetic plastic surgery team
committed to meeting their patients’ needs.
“Patients don’t care how much you know until
they know how much you care,” says Dr. Miller.
From the moment patients arrive, the warmth and
sincerity of Dr. Miller and his team are evident as
they attentively listen, comprehensively inform, and
provide customized recommendations.
Miller Cosmetic Surgery Center is pleasant
and elegantly appointed, yet equipped to provide
the most scientifically advanced aesthetic plastic
surgery. The fully certified surgical suite is a safe,
comfortable, private setting that fosters artistically
precise treatment. Seeing Dr. Miller’s honest, un-
retouched before-and-after photos makes it clear
that plastic surgery is a blending of art and science.
Far from finding his work a burden, Dr. Scott
Miller cherishes it as a privilege. “I wake up every
day feeling I deserve nothing and knowing I need
to earn my patient’s trust and respect through
performance. I have a passion for performance,” he
says. FMiller Cosmetic surgery Center

being an excellent real estate professional - integrity,
in-depth community and market knowledge,
marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a
high-quality professional network, all of which are
hallmarks of how Ally Wise works.
In her experience as a Rancho Santa Fe real
estate professional, she has found that providing
the very best service is essentially about putting
her clients first. What does this entail for Ally? She
comments, “This means keeping myself accessible,
being an active listener, and NEGOTIATING for
every last penny. It is funny when you are dealing
with such large selling prices. Often a client will not
concentrate on a $4000-5000 negotiable item like a
repair. I have to remind them the purchasing power
this amount of money has after the transaction
is closed. I never lose sight of my client’s money.
Never.”
This “client first” philosophy has always been
her approach and it requires her to continually

chef/ Owner Jeffrey Strauss has a flair for presentation and an unquestionable
talent for taste that has delighted the palates of the world’s most powerful busi-
ness brokers, socialites, United States Presidents and both American and foreign
dignitaries. he has turned from the world of “chef to the Stars” to creating food
that’s more personal and serving his family and friends.
Throughout his nine years at Glorious Food (1985-1993), Strauss took leaves of ab-
sence to concentrate on higher learning in some of Europe’s finest Michelin-rated
restaurants. Upon his return, armed with big and fresh ideas, Jeffrey applied many
of the newly acquired creative techniques by teaching the staff at Glorious Food
what he had learned. The culture of sharing knowledge and inspiration at Glorious
Food is one of the reason’s that the highly regarded catering company has main-
tained a competitive advantage for such a long period of time.
Strauss’ eclectic inspirations for Pamplemousse Grille are drawn from the New
Jersey farm of his grandparents, where he visited frequently as a child. he brought
these inspirations to the prime Solana Beach location of the restaurant, just mo-
ments from the Pacific Ocean, across the street from the Del Mar Racetrack and
down the road from acclaimed produce farms, nature preserves and polo grounds.
When he opened Pamplemousse Grille in 1996, Strauss made a personal state-
ment with the casual yet elegant atmosphere, and inspired yet straightforward
food that delights all the senses. his menu at Pamplemousse Grille melds his many
creations and inspirations from his tenure as Executive Sous chef and Executive
chef at Glorious Food, and his many travels to Europe.
In 2008 Jeffrey was honored to accept the 2008 ‘Nice Guy of the Year’ award
from the very generous San Diego charitable foundation known as the ‘Nice Guys’.
This organization’s focus is to empower struggling local families. This honor has
been one of his more meaningful achievements due to its profound effect on the
community he calls home.
Since its debut, Pamplemousse Grille has received many local and national
awards including: “Best Restaurant, People’s choice” San Diego home & Gardens,
“Best New Restaurant” “Best caterer” and “San Diego’s Best chef” San Diego
Magazine, Zagat Rated #1 Restaurant in San Diego for three consecutive years.

Recently debuting their Winter Fashion Collection, Vivacity Sportswear, a newly founded fashion boutique in San Diego, combines femininity and function; featuring Swarovski crystal detailing, color blocking and stylish pieces, the collection can be worn from course to clubhouse.
Aimed at reinventing a woman’s appearance
on and off the course, Vivacity Sportswear,
recently launching their fashion label this
past fall in La Jolla, takes inspiration from the latest
fashion runway trends; coupled with the comfort
of performance wear, the brand hopes to celebrate
and inspire today’s woman with elegantly modern
golf and resort attire. Founded by San Diego
entrepreneur Vivian Sayward, Vivacity, unlike most
brands, is created for women, by women – who also
enjoy afternoon golf and resort amenities; their
goal is simple: bringing fashion to the sport that also
compliments a busy lifestyle.
“We approached our collection with the desire
for pieces that could be worn from course to
street,” said JoAnn Jack, fashion industry veteran
and creative director at Vivacity who spent many
years overseeing golf resort merchandising. “Unlike
traditional golf outfits that are boxy in silhouette
and color-coordinated as if from a child’s closet,
Vivacity’s color palette is not only directional but
practical, the forms are well fitting and because they
were inspired by runway trends, every piece can
work into a woman’s existing wardrobe.”
Four looks define the debut collection, affording
luxe detailing and soft performance fabrics. The
selection features: Sport Zip, with graphic color
blocking; Spectator Sport with playful patterns of
black and white dots; Crystal Classics featuring

sheer fabric detailing and Swarovski crystal accents;
and the Regal Collection, rooted in rich colors and
featuring a faux snakeskin and fur accessory bag
with hidden tee holders.
Q: Where will Vivacity Sportswear be available?
Vivian Sayward: The entire collection will be
available [on our website] and at select shops
including The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe and The
Crosby. Complete list of retailers available on the
site as well.
Q: Any personal favorites in the collection?
Sayward: We have received [much praise] for the
quality of the fabric and the chic designs. Women
have fallen in love with two pieces in particular: The
long-sleeve black top with Swarovski crystal zipper
and sheer sleeves – it’s an understated elegant, sexy
top that can be worn for post-game cocktails. The
other popular item is our ruche top; let’s face it,
we all have areas we like to hide and the ruching
does just that while accentuating other areas! It’s
performance wear that’s oh so feminine too.
Q: What has been the reaction on the golf course or even on the street?
Sayward: ‘Oohs’ and ‘aahs’ – when they see the
crystal detailing and then when they touch the fabric.
And surprise when they realize it’s a golf line! We’ve
even had men comment on the sophisticated designs,
and some have purchased items for their wives...that
says a lot! We’ve also received a great amount of
admiration for designing and manufacturing locally.
Q: Any hints on what’s in store for the Spring Collection?
Sayward: We design for classic women, so you’ll
see jewel tones in the collection. And we also look
to the runways for inspiration, so don’t be surprised
to find hints of colors that are au courant as well as
chic accessories for golfers on the go.

FINE DESIGN ShERyLL JAckMAn | January 2012
A kind of ‘Island Time’ writ large reveals itself
in many of the designs of Sheryll Jackman’s
creations. Whether it is transforming older
homes on Coronado with an elegant refurbishment,
enlivening the historical perspective with the
vibrancy of contemporary living or starting from
scratch, Jackman clearly has a compelling touch.
Founding the Jackman Group in 1978, she weaves
various multi-disciplinary parts into an historic and
organic whole that includes planning, design and
construction.
And while it is history that seems catalytic in
energizing Sheryll’s accomplishments, it is her
demonstrable talent for a kind of casual elegance
that does not confine itself to any particular design
style. Rather, with Sheryll shepherding the Jackman
Group she instead focuses on delivering impeccable
historical preservations as the home or client selects.
Further facilitating this acumen: the Construction
Team headed by Harry Jackman, the recently
converged retail side of the home furnishings as
evidence in Seaside Homes of La Jolla, and Seaside
Papery - a lively stationary and accessory boutique
in Coronado she shares with daughter.
DESIGNING LIFE
So many home designs cast a sense of light while
being successfully anchored with darker accents to
root the historical perspective with today’s casual
elegance. Through this technique, Jackman’s design
team style spans decades and a century or two as
light stone and rich dark woods often mingle, serving
both comfort and artistic expression of each era.
Additionally, the designs may incorporate
varying cultural styles as well. One might find lovely
Asian, African or European accents in wall hangings
or a well-placed couch, side table or chair alongside
the quintessential American sofa, bed or settee.
Somehow, the global perspective of casual comfort
fused with the richness of America’s coastal history
and current lifestyles effectively display equal parts
energy and relaxation.

SEASIDE HOME
Keeping with Sheryll Jackman’s sense of history,
the Jackman Group opened Seaside Home in 1996
as a way to offer gorgeous retail furnishings along
with the design services they so stunningly create for
clients in the San Diego area. In the fall of 2010,
Jackman opened the ideal historical venue, merging
their Rancho Santa Fe and Girard Avenue locations
into a larger venue; she found a landmark building
to house the expansive 32,000-plus square footage –
the former Saks Fifth Avenue space located at Wall
Street and Herschel Avenue in La Jolla.
“What typifies Seaside Home,” said Jackman, “is
the convergence of an elegantly classic ensemble of
elite names in design and home décor showcased
in delightful and architecturally detailed lifestyle
vignettes.” Furniture lines include the prestigious
Oscar de la Renta, Baker Furniture, Ralph
Lauren Home, McGuire and Stickley; in addition,
Henredon and Barbara Barry are represented.
Tabletop vendors include William Yeoward Crystal
and Juliska, Michael Aram and L’Objet. Bed and
bath lines include Ann Gish’s washable silks, SDH,
Sferra Bedding, Peacock Alley and Anali.
Without a doubt, as Director of Design for Seaside
Home and the Coronado-based Jackman Group,
Sheryll Jackman and husband, Harry Jackman, VP
of Construction Management, are design and retail
forces that amply represent the finest in San Diego’s
past, present and future residential and commercial
culture: a design destination all their own.
