TAKING OFF
AS THE PROMISE OF A NEW YEAR brings hope, optimism, and determination, we
can’t help thinking about the investment in safety and COVID-related protection
that puts us on a foundation of preparedness.
Of course, how one travels depends entirely on the details of one’s journey,
whether it is from state to state, country to country, or coast to coast. Some will
find freedom of movement easier than others—and, of course, we’ll be right there, where and
when you are ready.
It is in that spirit of optimism that we’ve created this spring edition of the magazine: an
issue filled with stories, articles, and profiles that we hope will inspire you to enjoy life to the
fullest, be that in the sky or on the ground.
As ever, there is NetJets-related news, and some exciting detours along our journey. We hope
you enjoy reading the pages that follow and wish you safe travels, wherever they may take you.

GOODWILL
To the Rescue, Again
The Robin Hood foundation fights poverty in
New York City—a mission that has never been more
critical than it is right now. // By Claire Wrathall
EVEN BY THE GLITTERING standards of New York’s
spring gala season, the annual Robin Hood
fundraiser is traditionally a standout. Held
at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, its
May 2019 edition drew almost 4,000 guests,
among them billionaire hedge fund manager
Paul Tudor Jones II, who called it “a hell of a
night.” And he noted, “we raised more money
than we did last year.” It was a reported $55M
for the poverty-fighting nonprofit he co-founded
in the wake of the stock market crash of 1987.
That was then. A year on, COVID had taken
its grip, and New York was under lockdown.
The Javits Center had become a 1,000-bed field
hospital. In March, Robin Hood had reactivated
its Relief Fund, an emergency reserve created
after 9/11 and drawn on again after Hurricane
Sandy in 2012. But this crisis threatened an
even greater demand on its resources.
“The organization really had to adapt its
fundraising model,” says Jason Cone, the
foundation’s head of public policy. Everything
was switched to online. A digital gala was
organized, hosted by Tina Fey and featuring
performances by, among many, Mariah
Carey, Billy Joel, Bon Jovi, and Alicia Keys,
with appearances by Bill de Blasio, Michael
Bloomberg, and Andrew Cuomo amid a galaxy
of movie stars. CNBC was persuaded to televise
it coast to coast. They called it “Rise Up New
York!” and it raised a staggering $115M, about
half the total $230M Robin Hood received in
donations last year.
If that sounds like a considerable sum, the
need exacerbated by the pandemic is greater
still. “New York City lost about 1.8 million jobs
between February and April last year,” says
Cone, and the city has been slower to recover
than the U.S. as a whole. So to date, about
800 grants totaling more than $62M have been
made to 575 smaller nonprofits working “on the
front line” specifically to aid individuals across
the five boroughs who are suffering acutely as a
result of income lost because of the pandemic.
TEACHING METHODS
The Robin Hood foundation
operates a network of public
charter schools in New York.

GOODWILL
“Those who manage to get out [of poverty]
are often just one life change or an unexpected
crisis away from falling back in.”
Of this, almost $30M has been distributed
in cash assistance. “That’s our preferred
mode of support,” he says. “It’s a highly
effective means of empowering people to
make decisions about what they need money
for the most. Some need to pay rent, others
have medical expenses, others need food.”
Despite the federal government’s $2.2 trillion
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security
stimulus, many undocumented immigrant and
casual workers fell through the net. “We have
a very weak social safety net in the United
States,” Cone says. Robin Hood “steps in
where government has failed.”
Food hardship, in particular, has risen to
“unprecedented levels,” he says, despite the
federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program, better known as SNAP or food stamps,
which has proved insufficient. Hence the almost
$10M Robin Hood has given to food banks.
The organization also supports health
clinics and has provided computers along with
Wi-Fi and data packages for families homeschooling
their children; paid for legal aid;
and made cash available to students at The
City University of New York, many of whom
lost the service-sector jobs they depended on
for income.
Even in normal times such support is
necessary to enable New Yorkers to survive.
Although the city is home to more high net
worth individuals than anywhere else on
Earth—last year the research analyst Wealth
X calculated there were 120,605 residents
with assets of more than $5M, and its 70-plus
billionaires have mostly got richer in 2020—
poverty is endemic here. According to Robin
Hood’s research, almost half the population
has been affected at some point during the
past four years. “And those who manage to
get out are often just one life change or an
unexpected crisis away from falling back in.”
Even before the pandemic the same proportion
were reckoned to have no more than $400
in savings, a number likely to have worsened
given that nearly three million workers have
lost employment or had their hours cut.
In order to lift households out of poverty in
the long term, Robin Hood devotes its resources
to advocacy and campaigning to change laws
at both state and federal levels to improve
economic mobility. For example, “We are very
concerned about what will happen when the
moratorium on evictions ends,” says Cone. “We

CHANGING FUTURES

Wes Moore draws on his own
impoverished background to
inform his quest for change.
COURTESY ROBIN HOOD FOUNDATION
know that New Yorkers owe tens of billions of
dollars in back rent.” The Biden administration
needs to prioritize rental assistance, he says,
because the $25 billion pledged by the federal
government in December will cover only a
quarter, perhaps as little as an eighth of what’s
needed. “Evictions are a predominant driver of
poverty, not a symptom of it. They affect kids’
ability to go to school. They affect workforce
participation. And we have a serious problem
because there are a huge number of New
Yorkers now on unemployment insurance”
who simply cannot afford to pay rent. To evict
them, however, makes no sense because “it
costs the city thousands of dollars more to
shelter someone who has become homeless
than it does to provide the rental assistance.”
Nor does it necessarily benefit the landlord
because “we’re not just talking about large
commercial entities. They’re also mom-andpop
businesses that rent apartments” whose
own income will be impacted. “And small
businesses drive the economy.”
Robin Hood, therefore, campaigns on a
host of issues, from child tax credits to its new
Power Fund, an initiative to encourage leaders
of color in the nonprofit sector who are often
more reflective of the communities they serve,
yet whose organizations attract “only 10% of
philanthropic dollars” despite a fourfold rise in
giving over the past 20 years.
It partners across a broad spectrum too.
Take its recent collaboration with the nonprofit
DOUG MENUEZ / STOCKLAND MARTEL
12 NetJets

legal services and advocacy organization Urban
Justice Center to support 2,200 street vendors,
who in the absence of office workers and tourists
have seen their already modest earnings fall by
70% to 90%, a project seeded with $2M from
Morgan Stanley.
Part of the genius of Robin Hood is the way it
has become what The New York Times has called
“a favorite charity on Wall Street and among
hedge funds,” thanks in part to its founders,
Tudor Jones and his one-time colleague Peter
Borish, who both remain trustees 33 years later.
“We have a tremendously dedicated board,”
notes Cone. And a generous one, too, given that
its members cover all Robin Hood’s overhead
and staff costs, meaning every dollar raised
“goes directly to the poverty fight.” Certainly its
39 members—“people who run big companies,
with large investment portfolios”—number
more than a few titans of finance, among them
chairman John Griffin, founder of the hedge fund
Blue Ridge Capital; Dina Powell McCormick and
David Solomon, both of Goldman Sachs; and
Mary Callahan Erdoes, CEO of J.P. Morgan Asset
Wealth and Management. While its emeritus
board includes Lloyd Blankfein, Laurence Fink,
and Jes Staley (not to mention NBC’s Tom
Brokaw, ABC’s Diane Sawyer, News Corp’s
Lachlan Murdoch, and Gwyneth Paltrow).
Indeed, Robin Hood’s CEO, Wes Moore, hails
from that world too, having come from Citibank,
though his awe-inspiring CV also includes a tour
of active service in Afghanistan as a paratrooper
and then captain in the 82nd Airborne Division,
followed by a year in the State Department as a
White House Fellow advising Condoleezza Rice.
Prior to joining Robin Hood in 2017, however,
he was probably best known as the author of
“The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates,” a
New York Times bestseller and the first of several
books he has written.
It tells the story of another African American
man of his age, with whom he not only shares
a name but who, like him, grew up without
a father, and was raised a block away in the
same gritty Baltimore neighborhood. Their
lives, however, turned out very differently: one
graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Johns Hopkins
and won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford; the
other killed an off-duty police officer during an
armed robbery and is serving a life sentence. But
as Moore the author writes, “The chilling truth is
that his story could have been mine. The tragedy
is that my story could have been his.”
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Alleviating hardship for those
unable to find the money for
meals is a vital component of
Robin Hood’s work.
“I’ve seen in my own life how opportunity
has been very miserly apportioned,” he
has said, and he knows how poverty can
compromise, even destroy, a child’s chances.
As he told The New York Times, “Disparity is
real. We have communities that have been
neglected, and I have lived in them. That was
something deeply ingrained in me from a
young age” because he came from a family of
teachers and preachers, who instilled in him a
“belief in service” and activism.
For those who have fallen through what
safety nets exist, subsistence continues to be a
challenge, and the decision “between paying rent
and putting food on the table” is a choice that
millions of New Yorkers continue to face. “If you
were undocumented, there was no assistance. If
you were a student, even one who was working
part-time, there was no assistance. We put our
efforts into helping the most vulnerable. For
low-income communities and people of color, the
urgency has never been more real.”
But Moore, who will step down from his role
as CEO in May, remains optimistic for the future.
“New York has a grit and determination, and last
year we saw that on full display. Together we’ve
been feeding the hungry, keeping a roof over the
head of families, [helping] children to continue
their education. And, importantly, pushing
for policy changes” that will get people out of
poverty and—crucially—keep them from falling
back. robinhood.org

A place in the sun, exceptional home
accessories, safe travel trends, eye-catching
vehicles, and more—herewith the best,
newest, boldest, and brightest.
HIGH LIFE
EVEN BY THE EXCLUSIVE strata of hospitality
in the British Virgin Islands, Oil Nut Bay
occupies a rarified perch, quite literally: spread
across 400 acres and entirely surrounded
by the Caribbean Sea on one side and the
Atlantic Ocean on the other. The resort and
multigenerational eco-sensitive community
is located on the eastern tip of Virgin Gorda,
accessible only by air or sea. Once on-site,
guests can avail themselves of a whole host
of suites and private custom-made villas that
are speckled into the island’s topography,
including The Beach House: an outsized
six-bedroom dwelling, complete with a bronze
sculpture by British artist Simon Gudgeon, an
infinity pool and terrace, and a palm-studded
path down to the sugarcane littoral below.
For those who wish to linger a bit longer,
myriad real estate options also abound with
pricing from $2.95M to $50M. The latest
luxury home collection includes the Ocean
Villas, beautiful three-bedroom tropical retreats
located on the water’s edge with zero setback
and pricing from $5.95M. A whole raft of
diversionary activities are also available—
from a beach club with three pools (one for
children) and a swim-up bar; wellness center
with gym and two tennis courts; equipment
for kayaking, sailing, snorkeling, and diving;
and world-class dining options, there is
no shortage of things to do. Indeed, beach
volleyball is a popular pastime, as is fishing.
But the resort isn’t resting on its vaunted
laurels: It has recently debuted a new Marina
Village with an overwater restaurant and
bar, suspended pool with hammocks and
daybeds, a game room, a 93-slip marina
capable of accommodating yachts up to 130
feet, as well as a market and boutique. And it
has plans for a soon-to-launch day spa with
outdoor showers, a watersports center, an art
gallery, additional retail options, and a nature
center—all of which means that this lotusland
will continue to remain at the top of its game
for years to come. oilnutbay.com

THE SMART GUIDE
LEGENDS IN
THE MAKING
Founder of Slot Mods
Raceways, bespoke miniature
racetracks that have drawn
plaudits for their intricacy
and accuracy, David Beattie
always had another dream he
wished to follow—Legends of
Hockey. He talks to NetJets,
The Magazine about how
these beautifully handcrafted
homages to the Original Six
NHL teams—Detroit, Chicago,
Boston, New York, Toronto,
and Montreal—came to
fruition as a tabletop game of
unsurpassed quality.
WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND LEGENDS OF
HOCKEY? I loved playing tabletop hockey
when I was a kid. Even before I started
Slot Mods, I had a plan to make a tabletop
game for myself and my friends. I collected
vintage tabletop games from 1959 through
to the 1970s. At the beginning of last year,
I purchased a game that was somewhat
custom, but it just fell short on so many parts
of the game in terms of craftmanship, so I
took it as a sign I was going to make my own
game and make it the best in the world—both
in terms of playability and the best-looking
game. The COVID period allowed me to really
focus on designing the game. After many
prototypes, I was able to finalize the concept.
WHAT MAKES IT STAND OUT? I’m trying to
make the game play like it is a Stradivarius—
and when it is not being played it will still
be a nice piece to have in your office, your
library, or in a games room. The one thing
that is special is that in previous games of
this type the “ice” surface would warp; the
puck would skip around. I’m using a surface
that is formed from a composite tile that is
a quarter-inch thick. It will never warp. The
players on these games always used to be
spring or gears—I always liked gears; you
have instant contact. I have created custom
gears, and the players are heat-treated spring
steel that will last forever. I spent a thousand
dollars just developing the puck, which is
made of Delrin, a very dense, low-friction, and
high-wear-resistance plastic used in marine
technology. The goals are welded steel, and
the nets are handmade meshes. There is a
shatterproof glass ring around the arena. I’m
taking everything to the next level. It’s rock
solid and made to last.
WHAT IS THE TARGET MARKET? There is a
huge collectors’ market for these older games.
There is a large following for tabletop hockey
all over the United States; there are leagues
in Canada; there are big tournaments played
in Europe. My table is going to appeal to
gentlemen who are drawn to nostalgia—be
it cars, pinball games, etc. I want to be the
toymaker of the toys of our youth—but at the
highest level. legendstablehockey.com

Staying Safe
A trio of NetJets partners is making sure
travelers are secure from door to door.
FOR THOSE ROAD WARRIORS still needing (or wanting) to
travel, the emphasis has morphed from thread counts
and gourmet meals to health and hygiene. Whether
it’s social distancing, touchless interactions, or limitedcontact
services, au fait travelers are putting a premium
on ensuring a safe and secure bubble when they are
away from home. It’s a good thing, then, that hospitality
brands are hyperfocused on cleanliness, among them
three NetJets partner hotel groups, each of which has
created programs that cater to a strict set of protocols for
guests from check-in to checkout.
Four Seasons (fourseasons.com), for example, has
partnered up with Johns Hopkins Medicine International
to inform the Toronto-based brand on health and safety
decisions during the evolving pandemic. Grounded in
the principles of care, trust, and service, the Lead With
Care program was launched in June and has led to
implementation of stringent procedures and rigorous
practices at the brand’s properties around the world.
For its part, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group
(mandarinoriental.com) has launched We Care—
a program with precautionary measures designed
to safeguard the health and safety of guests and
employees alike. In addition to having face masks,
disinfectant hand sanitizers, and disposable gloves
at hand, luggage can be sanitized with ultraviolet
light, bedding and linens are washed daily at 158°F
to ensure sterilization, and guest rooms remain
unoccupied for a 48-hour period following checkout.
Meanwhile, Bulgari Hotels (bulgarihotels.com) has
established a Cleanliness Experts Council, consisting of
in-house and outside expertise in everything from food
and water safety to hygiene and infection prevention.
That translates to rooms and suites being cleaned with
hospital-grade disinfectants and rolling out the wider use
of ultraviolet light technology throughout its six properties
around the world. When it comes to well-being, there is
no prevarication.

THE SMART GUIDE
Home Improvements
For those with room to spare, now is the time to
amp up the pleasure pursuits with these cuttingedge
offerings, installations, and accoutrements.
GOLF SIMULATORS
Endorsed by Tiger Woods and the officially licensed simulator of the
PGA, FULL SWING (fullswinggolf.com) features clubhead analysis,
ball-flight tracking, and virtual greens using PuttView projection.
With similar swing- and ball-tracking, GOLFZON’s (golfzongolf.
com) Vision Premium’s moving platform provides sidehill, uphill,
and downhill lies on three surfaces—fairways, rough, and sand—
across 190 courses. The FORESIGHT (foresightsports.eu) GCQuad’s
four cameras, meanwhile, take 200 pictures during impact,
providing exceptionally accurate strike and shot data.
HOME BOWLING ALLEY
Some public recreational venues are taking a hit, so installing
a bowling alley at home is one solution. Market leader MURREY
BOWLING (murreybowling.com) has been in the business since
1938, with its fully equipped two-lane design a particular domestic
favorite. BRUNSWICK (brunswickbowling.com) installs synthetic
lanes with an endless array of customization options in the U.S. and
Europe using flexible solutions to accommodate almost any space.
Stylish lounge seating completes the striking approach.
WINE CELLARS
Time to wine down—with access to bars and clubs limited, one of
SPIRAL CELLARS’ (spiralcellars.co.uk) space-saving underground
cellars adds sociable value. The descending spiral design with
stylish glass doors provides perfect cellaring for up to 1,900 bottles.
In the U.S., GENUWINECELLARS (genuwinecellars.com) carries the
spiral, plus its own Sommelier Select range of hand-finished, custom
wine racking and bespoke millwork designs. On an altogether smaller
scale, the multi-temperature-controlled LIEBHERR VINOTHEK
(home.liebherr.com) holds up to 200 bottles.
HOME CINEMA
The right projector is the heartbeat of any home setup. SONY’s (sony.
com) Ultra-Short Throw 4K HDR Home Theater Projector produces
a 10-foot-wide picture with professional resolution from just 8 feet,
3 inches away. OPTOMA (optoma.com) has an extensive array of
projectors at different price points, with the top of the domestic
range UHZ65LV as good for fast-moving sports as movies. The LG
CINEBEAM (lg.com) is a sleek, compact 4K UHD affair with some
models featuring built-in Harman Kardon-designed speaker systems.

a century later, The Little Car
Company, experts in producing
authentic, hand built junior cars,
has produced a new beautifully
crafted version at its Oxfordshire,
U.K., base.
The Bugatti Baby II retains
much of the original styling and
charm, yet has been updated
for contemporary tastes and
technology. Whereas the original
was a 50%-scale version, these
new iterations, which come in
three versions—Base, Vitesse,
and Pur Sang models—are 75%
to cater for ages 14 and above,
all featuring an electric rear-wheel
drive powertrain with replaceable
lithium-ion batteries.
The Little Car Company CEO
Ben Hedley gives further context:
“As a counterpoint to Bugatti’s
production car world speed record
[in 2019], we have developed
a vehicle that you can enjoy at
much lower speeds with your
children and grandchildren.”
It’s not the only iconic model
that the firm has been working on,
however. In August, it announced
the production of the Aston Martin
DB5 Junior, a 66%-scale version
of the vehicle dubbed “arguably
the most famous car in the world.”
Just 1,059 of the mini cars will
be made—equal to the number of
the 1963 original produced—and
will come in two electric versions,
the DB5 Junior and the DB5
Vantage Junior. While the former
has three driving modes—Novice,
Expert, and Race–the latter adds
a fourth, Vantage mode, which
doubles the output to 13.4 bhp.
An intriguing blend of
modern technology and classic
design, The Little Car Company’s
creations bring together
generations of car lovers,
ensuring much-loved cars will
capture the imagination long into
the future. thelittlecar.co

WONDER ON WHEELS
THE HANDMADE BODYWORK that encases the front of the BMW
R18 Spirit of Passion evokes an Art Deco feel but is very much
the product of a 2020’s mind. Following on from the successful
transformation of the R18 into a dragster bike by Californian firm
Roland Sands Design, BMW sought further collaborations to
show that its most advanced Boxer model bike was also highly
versatile. In fellow German company Kingston Custom, it found
just the partner to produce a unique specimen to capture the
minds of motorcycle aficionados worldwide. The Gelsenkirchenbased
designer took the unusual step for such remodelings by
adding to the original rather than stripping away—most notably
with a vertical kidney grille and those panels to shield the
wheel suspension and fuel tank. A custom-built saddle was
also created, along with handmade barbell-like handlebars and
a roadster-style exhaust pipe. The visionary behind Kingston
Custom, Dirk Oehlerking, has a history of reimagining BMWs,
yet still found working on an R18 a very special proposition.
“The BMW R18 is so perfect that I left the technology where it
was,” he says. As part of the ongoing Soulfuel project, BMW will
continue to find innovative collaborators to produce one-off and
limited editions. The Spirit of Passion will be a hard act to follow.

and companywide news and profiles.
THE MASTERS
FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, NetJets has hosted various NetJets PGA
TOUR Ambassadors for a live question-and-answer session on
Friday evening at the Masters. Last year, because the tournament
was being played at a different time and with no spectators, we
wanted to make sure we still offered our Owners a unique and
exciting experience. With so many events across the globe being
held virtually, we knew we would not only have to be creative but
also offer our Owners an experience like none other.
On Wednesday, November 11, we executed our first virtual
Masters Tournament live event for more than 1,000 Owners
across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Bahamas, Mexico, and
Finland. In an hourlong live stream hosted by NetJets Owner and
sportscaster Jim Nantz, our Owners were able to view the event
safely from the comfort of their homes and hear from four of our
NetJets PGA Ambassadors—Dustin Johnson, Marc Leishman,
Matt Wolff, and Collin Morikawa. With this being the only event
held at the Masters, and because there have been very few
interviews of Wolff and Morikawa, two of the newest players on
the TOUR, what transpired was truly impressive.
Pairing tenured golfers with newer players created an exciting
lineup seen nowhere else. Viewers could see each of the four
players and Jim Nantz simultaneously, but in reality, each
participant was in a different room and the players could view
only Nantz. The entire background was created with technology,
but visually, it appeared as if Nantz was sitting in front of
windows with a clear view of the course.
One very memorable and exclusive exchange occurred during
the event when Nantz asked Johnson if he would be ready to
accept the coveted green jacket should he take the title. After
Johnson did indeed win the tournament, Nantz referenced that
exchange in the post-tournament interview—a detail only those
fortunate enough to view the event would understand.

“EXCELLENT CONVERSATION HOSTED BY ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.”
“IT IS A REAL CHALLENGE TO CREATE EXCITEMENT IN A VIRTUAL FORMAT. IT WAS NICELY DONE,
AND JIM NANTZ WAS TERRIFIC AS ALWAYS.”

Chief Information
Security Officer
WHEN DID YOU START AT NETJETS?
I joined NetJets as Chief Information Security
Offi cer (CISO) in April of 2020. Prior to this role,
I served as CISO at two other organizations
during the previous seven years.
WHAT DOES YOUR NORMAL DAY CONSIST OF?
My fi rst goal has been to create a culture
of transparency, sharing, and value-add
across NetJets. I focused fi rst on leveraging
the foundation that is already in place while
concentrating on our robust cyber security program
capabilities including areas of detection, response,
and recovery while emphasizing visibility of Owner
data to our Cyber Security Team. We have also
developed a consortium with partners Bombardier,
Embraer, Textron, and Gulfstream where we meet
quarterly and share information about security
within our industry—after all, we are protecting
much of the same data.
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU
FACE IN YOUR ROLE?
It is up to all of us to focus on how we detect
and respond to cyber security threats. Cyber
attackers focus on how they can social-engineer
each of us into giving up something we have of
value. Computers and the internet have provided
unprecedented global reach and forms of
automation. We all must be curious and diligent
in keeping our eyes open to potential malicious
activity. I hope to inspire my team to understand
that everyone brings something different to the
success of the whole, and I value transparency,
mutual trust, constant learning, curiosity, and
continual pragmatic results.

NETJETS MOBILE
APP REDESIGN
In a combined effort from several key internal
NetJets teams, including Information Technology and
Marketing, we are thrilled to introduce new features,
and a new look, to the NetJets mobile app. In
previous versions, the application primarily provided
access for Owners to book fl ights and coordinate the
logistics of travel planning. With enhanced features,
Owners now have the ability to not only choose their
next destination and complete the booking process
but also manage their in-fl ight experience. These
features are currently accessible to NetJets U.S.
Owners on select aircraft on iOS and Android devices
and will soon be available on European accounts as
well. Users can access personalized options specifi c
to their aircraft, including in-cabin entertainment,
cabin temperature, window shades, and lighting—all
from their personal mobile device.
This user-friendly app now allows Owners to
enjoy features including TRACK MY FLIGHT—an
aerial view of their fi ght in real time; CALL AND
TEXT—a way to stay connected from the air using
their personal device; ENTERTAINMENT—access
to select, stream, and view movies and TV shows
during fl ight; CABIN MANAGEMENT—options to
adjust cabin temperature, window shades, and
lighting for ultimate cabin comfort; and KNOW
YOUR AIRCRAFT—everything an Owner needs from
cabin features to the location of their favorite snacks.
These new features were prioritized based on Owner
feedback in addition to our company mission to
enhance the life of each Owner, one exceptional
travel experience at a time. Plans to continue
evolving the features of the app are ongoing as we
broaden its capabilities to provide maximum comfort
and increased knowledge in the hands of our Owners
and their guests.

OWNER’S PROFILE
MASTER
OF THE
STRINGS
In the very exclusive world of elite violins, Roman
Goronok is a major fi gure—and one of the key
players in keeping the centuries-old instruments
in circulation. // By Josh Sims
ROMAN GORONOK MIGHT AS well call himself an
art dealer. “These are works of art,” he insists,
“or rather a combination of artwork and tool of
the trade. There’s no difference between a very
fi ne da Vinci or Rembrandt and one of these.
In terms of their part in an artistic tradition, in
terms of their monumental achievement in what
and how that tradition was expressed, you can
say the same of these as of any painting. More
so, perhaps, because as much as a da Vinci
may be beautiful to the eye, one of these speaks
to more senses than that.”
When Goronok tells people that he’s a violin
broker, they are fascinated if a little confused.
After all, as he admits, the difference between
two inexpensive violins is minimal. But the
kind of instrument he deals in is of a different
echelon altogether, priced in many millions.
They’re the kind of violins that have, over the
last three centuries, been passed between the
very best players like holy relics. “And once a
musician bonds with one of these instruments,
it becomes part of them, more important than
their children,” he only half jokes. “Seriously,
musicians of this caliber keep their violin next to
them in bed.”
Another difference is that the rarefi ed world
of instruments doesn’t have quite the name
recognition on a public scale as do painters.
Goronok deals in violins made by the likes of
Andrea Amati, Francesco Ruggieri, Giuseppe
Guarneri, and the more famed Antonio Stradivari
in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. These
are violins of a craftsmanship and tone that

OWNER’S PROFILE
likely will never be seen again. And they’re
increasingly rare. “Say Stradivari made 900
violins in his lifetime. Over the last 300 years a
third have been lost or destroyed and a third are
in museums or private collections, which leaves
only 300 that may one day be available,” says
Goronok, Russian-born but based in London, the
son of a professor of violin and of a violin maker.
“There’s no new supply. And you can’t put a
price on a unique sound.”
AS SUCH, THESE VIOLINS are both extremely
valuable—all the more so depending on
condition, of course, but also provenance,
maker, ownership history—and, what’s
more, never decrease in value. As a result,
his clients include not only conductors and
professional musicians, those looking to fill a
specific gap in their collection, but also those
looking to put their money into a seriously
blue-chip investment— and, thankfully, not
to then secret the instrument away in some
vault, though that does happen on occasion.
“I’m pleased to say that most buyers who
come to me have the education to appreciate
why these violins shouldn’t be hidden away,
which is reassuring,” says Goronok, who also
deals in violas and cellos. But given the number
of violins in an orchestra, and the extent of the
classical music repertoire written for the violin,
he finds that the smallest of his wares are
inevitably where the market is at.
“After all, they are such extraordinary
objects; they deserve to be played,” he adds.
“Most of my job is in finding them, in keeping
track of them—of, as someone once said of
the art world, knowing which painting is on
whose wall. I have my little black book, so
I know where these violins are, who’s using
them, which players may be near the end of
their careers and so looking to release their
instrument back into circulation.”
The job isn’t quite as simple as playing
matchmaker, of course. It also involves
authenticating the instruments, though Goronok
says, “That’s not as scary as it may seem.
Other people have sold and brokered these
instruments for centuries, working out what
is what, and for the last century at least that’s
been well documented too.” These days there’s
also carbon dating and dendrochronology—the
counting of rings through wood to determine
its age—to assuage any last doubts. There are
fakes, but in a market this small, passing one off
is extremely difficult.
What pleases Goronok most about his
work is that it not only brings musician and
instrument together but also allows investors to
act, in effect, as sponsors of the arts by loaning
their violin out to the kind of virtuoso player, or
young player of immense potential, for which it
was in some sense always destined. His dream
is to find evermore enthusiastic clients who can
help to make this happen.
“Because,” as Goronok notes, “if you want to
be a racing driver, it’s no good practicing on a
tractor. If you’ve achieved a certain level of selfexpression
with your instrument, you need an
instrument fine enough to allow you to develop
your voice without limits. Obviously, such
instruments are not easy to get access to.”
LENDING OUT SUCH a fine instrument might sound
like foolishness, given cases like that of an
absent-minded British violinist, who in 2019 left
his almost $340,000 (£250,000) violin—made
by David Tecchler in 1709—on the train. “It
was,” the musician reported, “like having my
arm cut off.” Fortunately, Goronok reassures,
most musicians are consequently overcareful
with their antique charge, and these sonic
sculptures are highly insurable: so well-known
are the individual pieces among the elite violinist
circuit that if they are stolen, they are virtually
unsellable on the black market, which takes
away a huge part of the risk for insurers.
Inevitably, some violins have a special
place even among these finest of instruments.
“Playing the violin is the deepest
form of meditation I know.”
32 NetJets

ALUN CALLENDER
A DEDICATED LIFE
His family’s musical background
instilled a love of violins in Goronok.
Is, for example, the oft-cited reputation of a
Stradivarius justified? Goronok explains that
because the violin maker had such a long
career—he lived to 93, notably late for the
18th century—he also had the opportunity to
be a great experimenter, thus not only shaping
the classical music canon but also making
some of its more progressive compositions
possible. Like Picasso, he says, Stradivari had
the violin-making equivalent of his Blue Period,
or of Cubism.
“A Strad,” Goronok says, with the familiarity
that only someone as close to violins like this
could pull off, “can play very quietly, or it can
scream, and since much of the [classical] music
we hear today is romantic, for full orchestra,
it has to be pretty loud. That’s the difference
between a good violin and a very, very, very fine
violin—the good one just won’t have the power,
it won’t have the colors either.”
Goronok speaks with more than the
knowledge that comes from, as he puts it,
being surrounded by violin music from his
earliest memories, or that comes from his
working life. He, too, was a professional
violinist as a young man, until a motorcycle
accident in his twenties ended the likely
prospects of becoming a top player.
“I can’t imagine a life without music, and
playing the violin is still the deepest form of
meditation I know,” he says. “But if you can’t
play [to the standard I’d hoped for] then you
have to find a way of being useful to the art.
I wasn’t a violin maker: You have to be an
excellent carpenter and that wasn’t me. And
I wasn’t interested in managing musicians.
But I found brokering violins, and it’s very
satisfying to be told by a musician that a
certain violin is what they’d been looking for
their entire life, or to know that in helping to
keep an instrument alive it means that certain
pieces of music can still be played as they
were first conceived. If the likes of Beethoven
is worth giving sound to, then you have to
have the right instrument to perform it on.”
But the relative rarity of the masterpieces
he works with makes him wonder if he
may be among the last of his already rather
unusual breed. “Statistically, assuming I work
for another 30 years or so, I’m likely to be
among the last people who will get to handle
these instruments on the open market,”
Goronok says. “By the end of my career, it’s
likely that most of these instruments will be in
museums or private collections. This doesn’t
mean they won’t be played, thankfully, but
you won’t be able to buy one. Until then, I
want to keep on doing whatever I can to help
those who have the means to help the world
of classical music.” romangoronok.com

A SURPRISING
VISIONARY
Rolls-Royce, that bastion of traditional automotive values, is
transforming what a car manufacturer can be with a powerful
mobile app, at-home services and, of course, vehicles that go
above and beyond. // By Will Hersey
34 NetJets

BUSY IS NOT A WORD you associate with a brand
as unflustered and unflappable as Rolls-Royce,
but the English marque—which has had the
famous Spirit of Ecstasy badge on its cars since
1911—continues to adopt a progressive and
front-foot approach as we pass through the
formative years of what promises to be the most
disruptive decade in automotive history.
As well as launching an all-new, tech-laden
update of its “baby Roller” Ghost model in
2020 (see sidebar), bringing its portfolio up to
five, the brand has ramped up its edgier and
more attention-grabbing side by expanding its
Black Badge limited-edition line to now include
a Neon Nights color scheme—perfect for any
customers who might want their new Wraith,
Cullinan, or Dawn in hues such as lime rock
green, mirabeau blue, or eagle rock red.
Part of the point of such initiatives, of
course, is to project a modern spirit, as well as
attract and serve a younger and perhaps more
experimental customer—the current average age
for owners is 43, the lowest in its history, while
almost every car that is built at its Goodwood
base, 60 miles south of London, could now be
described as bespoke.
With all this in mind, Rolls-Royce announced
last year that it had recruited a design studio
to update its brand identity, in order to, in the
words of CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös, “echo
those changes seen in our portfolio, our client
demographic, their lifestyle, and the luxury
NetJets
35

ON THE ROAD
world that surrounds them.” After
all, Rolls-Royce’s digital presence
has expanded significantly in
recent years, creating many more
channels through which customers
can interact. Indeed, increasingly
Rolls-Royce has repositioned itself as
a luxury lifestyle brand rather than
purely a maker of exceptional cars.
All these considerations
were well demonstrated back
in February 2020 when the
marque, owned by BMW Group,
revealed that it was introducing for
customers a digital members’ club
known as Whispers—which, via an
app, would bring to the attention
of its demanding and discerning
community a series of rare
products and rarefied experiences.
Sourced and curated by an
intriguingly titled division called the
Luxury Intelligence Unit, the service in
fact began in 2018 on a selective beta
basis. Customer feedback over this
period was such that it has now been
rolled out to its global customer base.
The effects of COVID-19 required
the team to change the focus of its
original offering somewhat: Where
previously travel experiences like
an expedition to Antarctica may
have been the norm, offers became
more centered on the home and
family, the opportunity to collect
first editions of “The Wind in the
Willows,” for example, or private
virtual cooking lessons with worldrenowned
chefs.
Alongside such opportunities, the
app also houses a range of tailored
content, recent examples of which
include a long-form interview with
Chinese artist Cao Fei on the future
of video art, and a curated list of
the best live safari streams at a time
when the real thing just isn’t possible.
At-home virtual experiences
have proven particularly popular,
from live theater performances to
spa packages, provided alongside
partner hotels. Like any club, there
is also a social side on offer too.
Here members have the chance
to message one another directly.
Unsurprisingly, Rolls-Royce has made
security a priority.
In some ways, Whispers
represents an extension of the brand’s
existing one-to-one “private office”
approach to customer relationships.
But Rolls-Royce didn’t have to
develop, launch, and maintain
something that, on paper at least,
sits so far outside its core skill set.
That it has done so successfully is
testament not only to the ambition
within Rolls-Royce right now but also
of the carmaker’s acute awareness of
the brand it wants to become.
THE NEW GHOST
If ever there was a motoring equivalent of
the swan’s surface serenity and furious
unseen work below, then the all-new
Ghost would be it. Unveiled in September,
the second-generation version of the
car first introduced as the smaller, more
accessible Rolls-Royce back in 2009—
which became the most successful car in
its history—has been designed with an
even purer expression of those classic lines
on the outside. But inside it’s the most
technically advanced Rolls-Royce ever
made. Top billing on this front goes to the
planar suspension system that manages to
improve, however imperceptibly, on what
was already an impeccably smooth ride and
passenger experience. Cabin acoustics and
noise reduction have been another focus,
enhanced by the car’s new aluminum
underpinnings, while the entire cabin has
been tuned to a specific frequency known
internally as “the whisper.” The overall
less-is-more theme is carried through
into the dashboard design, where fewer
instrument panels and simpler controls
belie the range and complexity of the
functions available. The quality of finish
is, of course, hard to improve upon, which
just leaves that 6.75-liter twin-turbo V-12,
effortlessly producing 563 bhp on request,
to remind its driver that this is also a
majestic mode of transport and not a living
room. To demonstrate the level of work
and attention to detail on show in this car,
the fact that only the Spirit of Ecstasy and
the umbrellas have been carried over from
its predecessor kind of says it all. rollsroycemotorcars.com

Educating the Leaders of Tomorrow
Institut auf dem Rosenberg, the Swiss boarding school redefining education
The rapid advance of technology
and its transformative power
is affecting societies and
economies worldwide. According to a
new report by researcher Euromonitor
International and leading Swiss
boarding school Institut auf dem
Rosenberg, traditional education
systems are failing to prepare students
for the 21st-century workplace – with
65 per cent of primary-school children
likely to work in jobs that do not
yet exist.
It is for this reason that Rosenberg
is challenging standard education
systems with his pioneering Talent and
Enrichment programme consisting of
over one hundred “co-curricular” courses
which run alongside five traditional
education pathways. The programme is
aimed at nurturing important human
skills such as creativity, ethics and public
speaking while encouraging students to
embrace technology from an early age.
Set within nearly 10 hectares of private
parkland, overlooking the historic town
of St Gallen, the school features state-ofthe-art
facilities, such as a Creative Lab
and a Future Park, where students learn
from expert partners including ETH
Zurich university, SAGA space architects
and robotics specialists Boston Dynamics.
In this unique learning environment,
students excel academically – over 85% of
all grades in the 2020 A-levels were A or
A*. Students gain real-world experience,
leaving school equipped with the tools
they need to take on the challenges of the
21st century.

OUTDOOR LIFE
GARDEN DESIGN HAS BEEN one of the few winners
of the past year. Whether done decoratively or
figuratively, fanciful, xeriscaped, ornamental,
abstract, or Zen, as we spend more time at
home and, when permissible, host friends and
family, a beautiful garden with useful features
is more relevant than ever—no matter its size.
There are a few key trends that have either
emerged or been amplified over recent months.
London-based designer Andrew Fisher Tomlin,
of Fisher Tomlin & Bowyer (andrewfishertomlin.
com), says some clients are thinking outside
the box, looking for what he calls “seamless
design narratives.” He explains: “Outdoor
kitchens are well accepted now, but rather
than the off-the-shelf versions, we’re designing
them from scratch featuring bespoke joinery
elements that inspire planters and furniture so
that everything is designed as one rather than
an eclectic mix of suppliers. We’re especially
using timbers like Accoya and black walnut.”
Fisher Tomlin has an international practice,
which allows him a global perspective on
what the future of seamless design might be:
“Whereas in the U.K. there are still a lot of
hard surfaces and walls happening, we’ve
moved towards a heavily planted naturalistic
esthetic look that you tend only to see in public
settings in the U.S. Hopefully, we’re setting a
trend away from lots of clipped topiary toward
much more relaxed gardens that can be
shared with wildlife as much as our families.”
IN 2020 THERE WAS a significant move toward
naturalistic plantings and toward a greater
appreciation of the mental and physical health
benefits of growing plants in general. “Planting
design is generally moving toward a more
considered approach—what I like to think of as
slow planting design,” says Fisher Tomlin. “That
means allowing trees and shrubs to achieve
their natural shape and size without lots of
maintenance. An enhanced awareness of climate
change and the changing nature of homes—
working from home, multitasking, family- shared
spaces—plus a willingness to share our garden
spaces more with wildlife and nature mean that,
certainly for our design office, we’re planting-led with projects,
and plants are high up the list of priorities of our clients.”
A more radical vision of this naturalistic scheme comes by way
of landscape architect Cleve West (clevewest.com), who says,
“I hope rewilding gains more traction in 2021 as land-use for
agriculture has to be addressed if we’re going to stand any chance
of mitigating climate change. I also hope the veganic approach

will be taken more seriously.” This means “a more sympathetic
approach to gardening where wildlife can go about their business
in relative safety —a shift to more considerate gardening”.
However one approaches it, those with space are now
populating their sprawling setups with much more than
vegetation. Whether it’s the installation of integrated outdoor
gyms; pitching and putting areas; wellness with saunas,
hammams, banyas, and plunge pools; or art,
the sky’s the limit with options, forgoing hitherto
standbys such as tennis courts and swimming
pools. Indeed, London-based Opera Gallery
(operagallery.com) has a matchmaking service
that offers buyers a bespoke service to help
them find the perfect sculpture for their gardens.

MIXING IT UP

For those with less commodious surroundings, New York designer
Todd Haiman (toddhaimanlandscapedesign.com) conceptualizes
in the same conscious du jour way as his U.K. counterparts
but in the much tighter confines of Manhattan skyscrapers and
minuscule brownstone backyards. “People call because they don’t
want formal gardens,” he says of his ethos. “I have a tendency
to put more wild plants and indigenous plants in. You attract
pollinators and birds by using plant material that has evolved over
thousands of years. A roof garden has high winds and full sun so
ornamental grasses do well, as they do on meadows and plains.”
Haiman talks about breaking up outdoor spaces with highly
sought-after outdoor kitchens and pergolas to offer shade.
He recently hoisted steel up to a 25th-floor penthouse
to build a pergola for a client. Shade is crucial for the
summer and can also, he says, be useful for outdoor TVs.
Increasingly over the past year, he says, “People want to extend
the season. In March and April they want to be able to get out, and
in November and December too.” Outdoor heaters are the answer,
but he notes that they have been difficult to get hold of recently,
as restaurants are buying them all up to allow for outdoor dining.
AS FOR PLANTINGS, Haiman recommends little bluestem,
switchgrass plant material that can deal with conditions akin
to a beach or rocky cliff, where roots can’t dig in deep. Alpine
A PRETTY PAIR
American landscape designer Nick McCullough’s two big trends for 2021.
Outdoor gathering spaces have been a trend for a couple of years, but they have really gained momentum throughout the pandemic. This includes
creature comforts such as heating and fire elements as well as bars and socially distanced dining. Design-wise, the “manicured wild” has certainly
been a major trend. This is generally how I design, with a theory of organized chaos that integrates boundaries of hedging or hard surfaces and within
those boundaries perennial plantings that seem to be woven together like a tapestry. Our plant palette [in the U.S.] is so broad-sweeping due to our
many zones—it is nice to see plants becoming the focus again in lieu of hardscapes. mccland.com

GUY BELL
plants make a lot of sense. He views garden planting, in contrast,
as a forest understory because buildings, fences, and large
street plane trees block a lot of light and create that habitat.
He also offers remediation of potentially toxic soil so it is good
to grow tomatoes and kale. Blueberry shrubs are also great on
a roof, as everyone loves picking berries in summer and there
are flowers in the spring as well as excellent leaf color in the
fall. Beach plums and alpine strawberries are other top tips.
For furniture, he sees backs of seats getting lower, and
a move from formal dining to casual with smaller tables
and small-plate tapas rather than large meals. A space
that can be used to read a book, drink a cocktail, or have
an outdoor bar area allows for flexibility that has become
such a necessity for those spending more time at home.
Haiman concludes, “There’s a lifestyle change going on here,
and there’s an appreciation like never before.” The “quarantine
of consumption” has led to a change in societal values, with
people able to spend more time outdoors. His wife, a CFO,
envisions fellow executives spending perhaps three days in
the office and two days at home in the future, and so Haiman
is currently planning spaces that can be used as outdoor offices
and those that can serve as seductive backdrops for virtual
meetings on the roof. It’s proof positive that human ingenuity
knows no bounds—no matter what obstacles we’re facing.
TIGHT SPACES
A quintet of recommendations from Bowles & Wyer design director James Smith.
With so many people working from home, “we’re realizing the huge benefit a beautiful garden can bring to our lives and well-being,” says Smith, whose
firm is based just northwest of London. He’s picked out a handful of trend-forward ways to maximize limited spaces. First of all, remember that there
is no place to hide, which is to say, note how the garden looks from all angles, including from above. Number two is less is more, taking the form,
perhaps, of a unified color scheme for furniture, paving, and planting to bring the garden together and stop it looking fragmented. Thirdly, keep quality
high by stretching the budget to include more durable features: they not only last longer but also look better. The fourth is to borrow landscapes and
make sure that you don’t cut off your own views of the best of your surroundings. Finally, he recommends that you keep editing—change the design to
incorporate the seasons and to keep the feeling of a fresh, dynamic space. bowleswyer.co.uk

LIVING WELL
BEAUTY ON
THE MOVE
Master esthetician Angela Caglia writes about her plant-based
skin care range and offers an expert perspective on keeping
your skin at its best during and after flights.
I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE power of plants and fruit growing up in
central California as part of a large farming family that exported
the highest quality apricots, plums, wine grapes, and nectarines.
While studying in Paris in my early twenties, I found my second
passion in the beauty rituals, facials, and skin care habits of the
French. Inspired to study not only international business but
also esthetics on my return to the U.S., I became a facialist and
trained with one of the leading French botanical skin care lines
and French beauty experts, working on international celebrities.
Eventually, I settled in Los Angeles and opened my own skin
studio, building a loyal A-list celebrity following that includes
Barbra Streisand, Minnie Driver, Helena Christensen, and Sting.
When launching my line of beauty products, I wanted to marry
the principles of my farming background to my knowledge of
ingredients and skin. My plant-based skin care line was begun in
order to fill the gaps in the market: I helped create the innovative
formulas using my insight — garnered from working on over 20,000
faces—of how the skin reacts to ingredients in skin care products.
Meadowfoam seed oil, which is grown only in Oregon and
Washington, is the hero ingredient of my line because its bioidentical
molecular structure is so similar to our own sebum.
It is able to penetrate deeper into the skin along with the other
proprietary ingredients of the formulas, giving an instant glow
and dewiness to the skin while delivering potent actives.
My philosophy is less is more. So many people are over-washing
and over-exfoliating using harsh ingredients. My products soothe
and nourish your lipid barrier instead of sensitizing it with too many
essential oils, harsh synthetic chemicals, or long routines. I source
only the best U.S. Department of Agriculture-certified organic
and natural ingredients from farmers from all over the world.
So how does this translate into the best way to look after
your skin while traveling? The best way to prepare your skin
for a long flight is extra hydration and moisture. I suggest using
either my Soufflé Moisturizer or Daily Botanical Serum, which
is a beautiful oil, reapplied every two hours in the air. Forgo
makeup and focus on applying extra skin care during the flight
to protect from the microclimate that being on an airplane can
create. Artificial heat or air conditioning can cause dehydration
and tightness of the skin. It also causes transepidermal
water loss, making fine lines and wrinkles more pronounced.
To combat dehydrated skin during the flight, try reapplying face oil
during the flight to seal in moisture and hydration. Bring the proper
skin care for the climate you are going to. For example, heading to
a humid climate you will want lighter products and to focus more
on serums. My Detox Serum is hydrating and balances the skin’s
oil levels with sage, rosemary, and hyaluronic acid. If traveling to a
colder climate, on the other hand, take heavier face oils, hydrating
masks, and moisturizers with oils in them—like my Soufflé
Moisturizer —to keep the skin dewy, bright, and glowing on the ski
slopes. When returning home, exfoliate the first evening with a gentle
lactic acid peel or serum and then go back to your normal ritual.
For avoiding jet lag and puffiness I recommend using my Rose
Quartz Goddess Face Mask over my Facial in a Mask bio-cellulose
sheet mask when arriving at your room. The cold rose quartz crystals
make it soothing and help to revive tired skin, further infuse the sheet
mask serum, and combat puffiness and dark circles. It only takes
ten minutes, and you can recline in bed with the masks on. It’s like
getting my signature Rose Quartz Facial. The sheet mask is filled
with hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamin C, 24 karat gold flakes, and
lactic acid. It’s very popular with my jet-set clients. angelacaglia.com

EVAN SCHILLER
TEEING OFF
THE GOLDEN AGE OF GOLF DESIGN spanned three decades in the early
20th century and now a lost relic from the era is returning—this time
in Thailand. That’s just the tip of the iceberg for an unusual year in
golf, one that will also see the Golden Bear, Jack Nicklaus, waive his
$3 million Signature design fee to build a course for charity, a private
Donald Ross standout go public for its 100th birthday, and a slew of
famous names tackle the suddenly popular short-course concept.
When the Lido opened on Long Island in 1917, it immediately
joined the ranks of the world’s best courses and was compared
favorably to Pine Valley, the U.S.’s top-rated layout. But the
club was shuttered during World War II and never reopened.
Now, 80 years later, it is returning in spirit, thanks to Gil Hanse
(the winner of the competition to design the course for the Rio
Olympic Games), who is creating a hole-by-hole homage to
Charles Blair MacDonald and Seth Raynor’s Lido design. Debuting
in August 2021 as the centerpiece of the Ban Rakat Club, just
35 minutes from downtown Bangkok, Ballyshear Links (brc.
co.th) is named after MacDonald’s Long Island estate and
is expected to be the biggest thing to ever hit golf in Thailand.
Bangkok is a long way from New Jersey, but Hanse has also
managed to simultaneously complete an extensive restoration
of Baltusrol Golf Club’s Lower Course (baltusrol.org), a highly

ranked A.W. Tillinghast design that will host the KPMG Women’s
PGA Championship in 2023 and the PGA Championship, for the
third time, in 2029. The restored Lower Course reopens in May.
Two other American courses present one-of-a-kind tales: the
first starts with Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney, a U.S. Air Force
fighter pilot who founded nonprofit organization Folds of Honor
to provide educational scholarships to spouses and children of
America’s deceased or disabled service members. Rooney came
up with the idea of creating a golf facility to benefit the foundation,
and personally flew to West Palm Beach to solicit his childhood
sports hero, Jack Nicklaus. The Golden Bear waived his fee and
personally handled American Dunes (americandunesgolfclub.
com), a 7,213-yard dunescape inland links course that opens
this spring in Grand Haven, Michigan, a Great Lakes beach resort
town. The public course will have on-site accommodations in a
16-room lodge. Nicklaus Design is also set to open a new private
club in Scottsdale, Arizona, Sterling Grove Golf & Country Club
(sterlinggroveclub.com), which will be managed by Troon Golf.
AMERICAN DUNES IS THE highest-profile new 18 in the United
States, but the biggest reopening is the Southern Pines Golf Club
(southernpinesgolfclub.com) just outside Pinehurst, North Carolina.

Known as the “cradle of golf” in America, Pinehurst is to
the U.S. what St Andrews is to Scotland, and is especially
known for famed resident and golf architect Donald Ross,
who did many area courses, including Pinehurst No. 2,
Pine Needles, and Mid Pines, all of which have hosted PGA
Major tournaments. But for the last century, the hidden gem
has been Ross’s private Southern Pines GC, which was
recently purchased by the sibling adjacent Pine Needles and
Mid Pines resorts. The owner brought in Kyle Franz, who
did historically accurate restorations of both vaunted Ross
designs, to tackle the “new” third layout at the resort. One
hundred years after it originally opened, Southern Pines will
be back and public, making this the only resort in the world
with 54 original premier Ross holes. The fi rst wave of work
will be done for play in the peak spring season, followed by a
summer green replacement and second reopening in the fall.

both the east and west coasts and features deep tropical
jungle gullies, exposed coral rock formations, 200-yearold,
100-foot-high bearded fi g trees—and no actual apes
but lots of green monkeys. It should be fi nished toward

A MODERN TOUCH

The details of our living spaces have never been more important, so it makes sense that furniture
inspired by midcentury Scandinavian design principles has come to the fore as one of the design
trends of 2021. Combining elegance with function, the examples on these pages may have their roots
in 20th-century modernism, but each has an international provenance that updates the movement
for contemporary values and produces such a smorgasbord of arresting pieces. Japanese architects
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa have perfected a bench for social distancing; Abstract artist
Jean Arp shaped Brazilian Patricia Anastassiadis’s ideas for a voluptuous chaise longue; Danish
minimalism is at the heart of the essay table from Cecilie Manz; André Fu, the Hong Kong designer,
has produced a stylish resting place for the now ubiquitous laptop; Roman history meets Nordic
principles in Achille Salvagni’s credenza; and Tadao Ando’s cantilevered Dream Chair for Carl
Hansen & Son is an explicit tribute to Danish master Hans Wegner.

THE FUTURE OF THE travel industry is certainly
a hot topic at the moment. From talk about
increased safety and hygiene to forecasts for a
surge in villa rentals or, better yet, entire private
island takeovers, post-COVID predictions are
coming in thick and fast. And while the travel

traveling with a sense of purpose and fulfillment
to ticking off that bucket list, this year is all about
embracing and savoring safe, slower, soulful,
secluded, and sustainable travel experiences.

PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION
From rehoming tortoises in the Galápagos Islands
to reaching the summit of an unconquered
mountain, this year is all about our renewed resolve
to travel with purpose. Whether it’s consciously
supporting conservation, communities, and
sustainability, or even learning a new skill, we are
looking for elevated travel experiences that will set
us on the path to personal fulfillment. Cookson
Adventures is once again leading the way with
a host of extraordinary expeditions, including
hands-on conservation efforts such as tagging
sharks, completing shark surveys, and researching
manta rays in a scientist-guided experience in
Mexico’s Revillagigedo Archipelago; or trailing
previously undocumented elephant herds and
the very last of a species of giant antelope with
leading conservationists, veterinarians, and
biologists in a world-first conservation expedition
in Angola. Also in Africa, Xigera (xigera.com), a
12-suite art-filled camp in Botswana’s Okavango
Delta, offers a first-class safari experience against
a background of sustainability, conservation, and

THE MAGIC OF MARRAKECH: MOROCCO’S MOST VIBRANT JEWEL SHINES
An intoxicating city best known for its heady souks, abundant fragrances, and winding medina, but also for its hip
hotels and trendy art galleries, Marrakech is bursting with life, cementing its spot as a must-visit destination this
year. Cult boutique hotel favorite El Fenn (el-fenn.com, left) has unveiled a splendid new expansion so that the
property now extends over 12 riads to include a new rooftop pool and a ground-floor bar and restaurant, while the
landmark La Mamounia (mamounia.com) hotel has teamed up with legendary chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten
to launch two new culinary destinations: an Italian trattoria and an elegant Southeast Asian-inflected restaurant.
Elsewhere, organic eatery Les Jardins du Lotus (+212 6614 52429) embraces a slow menu of solid dishes—such
as the poached lobster salad served with zingy citrus fruits—from its home inside a 19th-century residence in the
heart of the medina; while nearby, the rooftop restaurant Kabana (kabana-marrakech.com) serves up artisanal
Moroccan cocktails and an international menu, including excellent sushi, against magnificent views of the Koutoubia
mosque. Joining the rest of the city’s upscale dining spots and chic bars in the Gueliz neighborhood, Italian
restaurant Vita Nova (vita-nova.ma) has become a firm favorite for its fresh ingredients, including burrata and
delicious salamis. Coming soon, the Nobu Hotel brand (nobuhotels.com) will make its debut in the city’s Hivernage
district, a short stride from the historic heart of the city, with 71 rooms, a series of drinking and dining venues—
including a rooftop space—and a 21,500-square-foot spa with indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

JULIAN RENTZSCH
IN CONVERSATION WITH
HENRY COOKSON
Since 2009, Cookson Adventures has specialized
in tailor-made trips to remote locations. Its founder
talks to NetJets about intrepid travel trends for the
year ahead.
What are some of the requests you’re already
receiving for travel in 2021—and are any
common threads emerging?
We have, fortunately, been very well placed for
the recent shift towards secluded travel. Explorers
are looking for private lodges, private islands, and
trips in totally remote destinations, away from the
crowds—all of which has always been Cookson
Adventures’ bread and butter. It means we haven’t
had to sacrifice adventure for safety over the past
year, thankfully. It’s also been a year of “door-todoor”
escapes, using private jets for families to travel
flexibly and stay clear of crowded airport queues.
Iceland, for example, has been perfect for this. It’s a
short flight from most of Western Europe and is ideal
for exploring without seeing a soul in sight. We’ve had
clients enjoy heli-safaris, ATV races on black sand
beaches, snorkeling with humpback whales, and
caving. No two days needed to ever be the same.
What are clients moving toward in terms of
destinations and experiences?
There’s now a wider shift towards more meaningful
travel. Out with the weekend getaways and in with
family-focused itineraries for longer periods of
time, particularly when activities with educational
elements for the children are woven into the
schedule. It could be learning how to read a map or
build a shelter with a survival expert, or bespoke
treasure hunts that test their problem-solving
abilities as they island hop in the Maldives. It helps
to make their time away count.
Entry and exit protocols and restrictions
notwithstanding, what are some of the locales
that you’re really excited about for 2021?
This has been the first season in a long time when
I haven’t returned to Antarctica. I am blown away
every time I arrive at its shores—glassy white
icebergs that tower over the largest of yachts, pods
of humpback whales feeding on the summer’s algae,
and an unimaginable number of penguins darting
into the waters on foraging missions. It’s pure bliss.
There’s a lot of planning required to deliver trips
of this magnitude, so we’re planning itineraries
now for the 21/22 season. I’m also just back from
Costa Rica. We like to call it nature’s playground
because the biodiversity and adventure on offer are
at insane levels. We’ve seen lots of client interest
for conservation-centric adventures there this
year, both for on board a yacht or while staying at
an eco-camp—one of which is a shark-tagging
experience alongside marine biologists. They will
help tag hammerhead sharks to gather crucial
information about their behavior. There’s even an
option to “adopt” a shark and name one to receive
reports of its travels and growth over its lifetime.

while the Six Senses group (sixsenses.com) will
continue its expansion with an opening in Ibiza,
set within five acres on the island’s crystalline
Cala Xarraca Bay. In the Atlantic, Rosewood Le
Guanahani St. Barth (rosewoodhotels.com) will
reopen after a makeover to include renovated
guest rooms—many with new private pools—and
a series of updated facilities, including a distinct
beachfront dining concept, while The Chatwal

the Manhattan original, will open its doors in the
Catskills, in upstate New York. Set on 60 acres
along the shores of the Toronto Reservoir, the
hand-hewn, all-suite timber retreat will offer farmto-table
dining and Ayurvedic-focused wellness.
URBAN REVIVAL
With many of the world’s biggest cities slowly
waking up after a year on pause, their familiar
landscapes will undoubtedly be reshaped by
last year’s events. From reenergized creative
scenes to the emergence of blossoming new
neighborhoods, along with the much-anticipated
openings of an abundance of hotels, now is the
time to reexplore old favorites as they begin to
regenerate and reopen. In New York, both the Six
Senses and Aman brands are set to take wellness
to a new level, with the latter—which will occupy
the landmark Crown Building—featuring a
sprawling 25,000-square-foot spa set over three
floors with a dramatic 66-foot indoor swimming
pool. The Six Senses offering, meanwhile, will
be located between Manhattan’s Hudson River
and The High Line and will feature interiors
by Paris-based outfit Gilles & Boissier. Further
down south in São Paulo, Rosewood makes its
South American debut in a former hospital, with
architecture by Pritzker prize-winner Jean Nouvel
and interiors by Philippe Starck, while over in
Europe, NoMad London (thenomadhotel.com)—the
brand’s first opening outside the U.S.—will launch
inside the historic grade II-listed former Bow Street
Magistrates’ Court and Police Station. Visitors to
Paris will have a couple more options soon with both
the Bulgari (bulgarihotels.com) and Cheval Blanc
(chevalblanc.com) opening their doors: the former
boasts a 82-foot pool and a Bulgari restaurant,
and the latter occupies the beguiling former La
Samaritaine department store. Meanwhile, the
U.S.’s hip Ace Hotel (acehotel.com) brand continues
its global expansion with the opening of a Sydney
outpost in the city’s Surry Hills neighborhood.
NEXT-LEVEL WELLNESS
Wellness is big business. And while the industry has
already been booming for a number of years, never
before has health and well-being been so important.
The hospitality industry has made a similar
investment, as hotels increasingly shift toward
wellness-focused offerings, from the integration of
smart technology such as air purifiers or shower
heads infused with vitamin C to gyms and spas
taking center stage, such as fitness brand Equinox
(equinox-hotels.com) opening its first hotel in 2019
in New York’s Hudson Yards. This upswing is further
illustrated with The Aurum (theaurum.com), a
soon-to-open retreat in the Catskills in upstate New
York, which will feature a 6,000-square-foot spa
with a concept that puts a modern spin on ancient
Roman bathing. In India, Goa will welcome King’s
Mansion (kingsmansiongoa.com), its first integrated
wellness destination, while Bangkok also steps
things up with the launch of RAKxa (rakxawellness.
com), a wellness and medical retreat on its own
island across from the city on the banks of the
Chao Phraya River. In Europe, Montenegro’s new
One & Only Portonovi (oneandonlyresorts.com)
has teamed up with pioneering wellness brand
Chenot Espace, whose next-level offerings include
detox programs, body checkups, diet and nutrition
consultations, and medical spa treatments. And
up near the Arctic Circle, Sweden’s Arctic Bath
hotel (arcticbath.se) centers on its spa, which
focuses on cold therapy and features saunas
that circle a bath filled with pure river water.

Spanning continents, cultures, and cuisines,
sturgeon caviar is one of the world’s foremost
delicacies. And thanks to new harvesting
techniques, the gastronome’s favorite roe is
now more widely available than ever before.
// By Farhad Heydari
TREASURE
OF
THE SEA
IT’S THE UNIQUE BYPRODUCT of a 250-million-yearold
fish that roamed the nutrient-rich freshwaters
of the Caspian Sea until it was driven to nearextinction
by overfishing and poaching, as well as
water pollution and damming. The fish, of course,
is the “living fossil” known as the sturgeon: a
prehistoric, scaleless, elongated species that
can weigh more than 1,000 lbs and whose
unfertilized roe is made into caviar, resulting in
the delicacy for which most of us go cuckoo.
And since 2006, it has been illegal to
harvest any of the remaining wild stocks
of the 27 biologically vulnerable species
of the Acipenseridae family. Enter farmed
sturgeon—a lucrative but time-consuming
undertaking carried out in rivers, lakes, and
tanks that requires an enormous foundation
of infrastructure and investment. And, with
any given female requiring anywhere between
seven to 14 years to reach sexual maturity
and therefore carry eggs, it also requires huge
patience for those who take on the enterprise.
Undeterred, as of 2017, the last year for which
data was available, there were 2,329 commercial
sturgeon farms around the world—a number
that the Global Aquaculture Alliance predicted
would double by 2020. Today, one can pinball
anywhere from Uruguay to Vietnam, Belgium,
and beyond and find superlative supplies of
“black pearls” for a growing global clientele.
But the lion’s share of global production annually
still comes courtesy of a triad of countries: China,
with nearly 70 tons; Italy, with nearly 30 tons;
and France, with 25 tons. The latter, of course,
has long had an association with the superlative
roe—in some quarters, Paris-based and New
York-sited, Petrossian (petrossian.fr) is a household
name, and its third-generation custodian,
Mikaël Petrossian, is bullish about the future.
“Over the past few years, the caviar market
has been steadily growing: Restaurants are
experimenting with new ingredients, customers
are being more adventurous in their food choices,
and the image of caviar has been demystified,
making it more accessible,” he says. According
to Petrossian, his firm works with a few farms
around the world, with which it has developed
long-standing relationships. “We get the best
possible raw material, whether it is from France,
Bulgaria, Madagascar, or China,” he explains, after
which the in-house artisans, or “caviarologists,”
work to develop all of its subtleties.

PALATE PLEASER
China’s Kaluga Queen, the largest caviar
maker in the world, is responsible for
around one-third of global production.
The leader in this trinity at the apex of global
production, China, is changing the matrix by
leaps and bounds. On the mountain-fringed,
141,000-acre Qiandao Lake, around 220 miles
south of Shanghai in Zhejiang province, lies
Kaluga Queen (kalugaqueen.com), the largest
caviar maker in the world, responsible for around
one-third of global production. With no fewer
than 14 varieties and with plans to go public next
year at a valuation of around $800M, its caviar
has graced many a chef’s table, including a
constellation of three-Michelin-starred restaurants,
among them Per Se and The French Laundry.
AT THE OTHER END of the spectrum is bijou
newcomer Rova Caviar (rova-caviar.com)
from Madagascar. With an annual harvest
of roughly five tons in 2019 from the waters
of Lake Mantasoa, the island nation is now
Africa’s foremost producer. But it certainly
won’t be the last, as other reputable and detailoriented
farms are determined to join the fray
to take advantage of the burgeoning market.
Even in the Old World, where entities like
Hamburg’s Dieckmann & Hansen (dieckmannhansen.com),
Europe’s longest operating
caviar trading company dating back to 1869,
have invested in spring-fed fisheries of their
own, there are newbies. Situated outside the
medieval German village of Jessen, in the
eastern part of Saxony-Anhalt, Attilus Caviar’s
(attiluscaviar.com) sturgeon-rearing process
benefits from water sourced from a natural
underground aquifer 164 feet below terra firma.
In the northeast Polish region of Warmia,
meanwhile, known as the “green lungs” of
the country as it borders the Napiwodzko-
Ramucka Forest, Antonius (antoniuscaviar.
com) is another operator harvesting Russian
sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) and
Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii), this time
using the crystalline waters of the Łyna River.
Water, as it unsurprisingly turns out, coupled
with sustenance and time, is one of the
determining factors in the successful harvest
of good quality caviar. In Calvisano, a town in
the Po Valley of the Italian province of Brescia
rich in fresh spring water, Calvisius (calvisius.
com) has been purveying its rarefied beluga
for the past 40 years, extracting it from the
Huso huso (or great sturgeon) that in addition
to the Black, Caspian, and Azov seas was
also present in the Adriatic, the Ionian, and
their tributaries before its extinction. Even
the U.K. is getting in on the act. The farm at
Exmoor Caviar (exmoorcaviar.com), located in
southwest England, is fed by some 40 million
liters of fresh Devonshire water daily—water
that is naturally filtered through slate, shale, and
sandstone courtesy of Exmoor National Park.
Sturgeon aquaculture is also thriving in
the U.S., across which there runs a river of
the steel gray to obsidian black delicacy to be
had. In North Carolina, Marshallberg Farm
(marshallbergfarm.com) produces responsibly
farmed and ecologically friendly Osetra, while
Sturgeon Aquafarms in the panhandle of
Florida markets its products under the Marky’s
(markys.com) label, and Sterling (sterlingcaviar.
com) in California’s Sacramento Valley
pioneered land-based farming of California’s
white sturgeon. And that’s just three of many.
THE THORNY ISSUES of fish welfare and
conservation have always been sidestepped
by purveyors and producers alike (sturgeons
have to be killed in order to extract their
valuable eggs), but there are some sustainable
innovations that are being tested and rolled
out. Paramount among these is the California
Caviar Company’s (californiacaviar.com)
proprietary process, invented by marine biologist
Angela Köhler, that allows caviar extraction
without the need to slaughter the sturgeon.
Köhler’s method, which founder and CEO
Deborah Keane says has been licensed to
a handful of European brands, could be the
next great chapter for the livelihood of this
unique Triassic fish. As Keane told The Wall
Street Journal, “Köhler has mastered the art
of truly sustainable caviar.” For the sake of
its priceless catch, we all certainly hope so.

Bubbly made according to ancestral methods—known to
oenophiles as pétillant-naturel wine—is making a resurgence
from the Loire Valley to upstate New York thanks to its ability
to express both grape and terroir. // By Jeffrey T. Iverson
SPARKLING
CHARM
WHY DO WE LOVE sparkling wine? Perhaps it’s the way it titillates
our senses, from the pop of the cork to the effervescent spectacle
in the glass to the ineffable sensation it creates across the palate.
Compared to still wine, the sparkling variety seems positively alive,
encapsulating the bubbling, awe-inducing magic of fermentation
itself. And though Louis Pasteur unveiled the mysteries of that
process years ago, there is still a special reverence in the way we
pour every coupe of prosecco, cava, or Champagne. Now there’s
another style of bubbly that seems to have tapped directly into
this primal fascination—the pétillant-naturel, better known as
“pét-nat,” which over the past two decades has emerged from
obscurity to become a perennial favorite among top sommeliers.
And while some of its iterations have sparked controversy,
today a growing number of pét-nat cuvées are proving it’s a
style that can express terroirs in the most intriguing ways while
recounting chapters of vinous history that were all but forgotten.
Few experts have followed the rise of pét-nat more intimately
than Pascaline Lepeltier, a sommelier renowned both in the
United States for her award-winning wine lists at top New York
City restaurants, and in France for becoming the first woman to
win the nation’s Best Sommelier competition. Lepeltier grew up in
France’s Loire Valley, and began studying wine there in the early
2000s at a time when the Loire was becoming a locus of a new
“natural” winemaking movement, which saw artisan vignerons
abandoning pesticides in the vineyards and oenological additives in
the cellar. Some of them, starting with the late Christian Chaussard
of Domaine le Briseau and Vincent Carême in Vouvray, had begun
to experiment with a largely forgotten technique called the méthode
ancestrale for making naturally sparkling wines, or pétillant-naturels.
For a young student of wine like Lepeltier, this new breed of
bubbly was a revelation. “The Loire became the heart of a pét-nat
revival, and I really got into the style,” she recalls. Its diversity alone
was remarkable, from sparkling rosés of cabernet franc, malbec, or
pinot noir, boasting an exquisite balance of fresh fruit sweetness
and acidity, like those of cult winery Les Capriades in Touraine,
to refreshing, complex sparkling whites like Carême’s pioneering
l’Ancestrale cuvée, made from old-vine chenin bottle-aged up to
24 months. “I remember thinking this was truly superb sparkling
wine,” she says. And yet it fit the profile of no wine she knew. Why?
Because, unlike the method for making Champagne (called the
méthode traditionnelle), which involves adding sugar and selected
yeasts to dry, still wine to trigger a second fermentation and produce
bubbles, the méthode ancestrale used for pét-nat works by bottling
wine when it is still fermenting and a precise amount of grape
sugars remains, so it will continue fermenting inside just enough to
create the desired pressure. It’s an oenological high-wire act, but
when successful, says Lepeltier, the result is a wine like no other.
“A Champagne, or méthode traditionnelle sparkling wine,
represents an entirely different metabolization of the aromatic
compounds,” says Lepeltier. “With a pét-nat chardonnay I expect
fresh grape aromas, and more zesty, citrusy, and slightly floral
aspects. Whereas with a Champagne the chardonnay takes on
autolytic characteristics from the lees, like brioche, butter, and
cream—it’s really another world of aromatics.” If many aromas
in great Champagne are related to the vinification process,
the best pét-nats tend to highlight the innate fruit aromas of a
specific grape variety while boasting lively acidity even when
residual sugar remains. “It should be a varietal wine—you should

be able to taste the difference between a pét-nat from chenin,
gewürztraminer, or carignan,” she says. “A pét-nat should be fun to
drink; it can be very complex, but very refreshing at the same time.”
IN THE PAST DECADE, that potent combination has seduced wine
lovers from San Francisco to Tokyo. In 2016, the website Eater
summarized the hype by dubbing pét-nat “the new rosé.” Given this
blossoming market, winemakers around the world are adding a pétnat
cuvée to their range. But this profusion of product can be a
headache for sommeliers like Lepeltier, today a managing partner at
Racines NY, where her list includes dozens of pét-nats. “The problem
is it’s become so popular that you have a lot of disappointing wines
now,” she says. “Bottles that have zero bubbles, are cloudy, heavy,
or mousey—it’s lazy winemaking, and it doesn’t help the style to
continue to grow and be taken seriously by people, which it should be.”
In Montlouis-sur-Loire, an appellation mainly dedicated to
chenin-based traditional sparkling wines, winemakers fought for 15
years to convince labeling authorities to accept pétillant-naturel as
a legitimate alternative to méthode traditionnelle. “I created my first
pét-nat in 2005 because it made no sense to me to make sparkling
wine with added yeast, when every other wine in my range was
born of spontaneous fermentation,” says Damien Delecheneau
of Domaine La Grange Tiphaine. In 2020, they finally won, and
can now label their additive-free, bottle-fermented sparkling wines
with the Montlouis-sur-Loire AOC. His 2019 sparkling rosé, then
labeled as table wine, was already ranked among the top 8% of
all wines by online wine marketplace Vivino’s 35 million users,
but for Delecheneau that recognition mattered more. “My ambition
is not to make a trendy wine,” he says. “I’m here to ensure the
transmission of a viticultural heritage to the next generation.”
The Montlouis-sur-Loire winemakers dubbed their interpretation
of the style “Pétillant Originel,” an apt description of what a pét-nat
essentially is—the original sparkling wine. More than a century
before Dom Pérignon is said to have invented Champagne,
Benedictine monks at an abbey in Saint-Hilaire in Languedoc were
already using the method to create what is now considered the first
sparkling white wine produced in France: Blanquette de Limoux.
Manuscripts from 1531 detail the monks’ production of their corkstoppered
flasks of lightly sparkling wine redolent of honey, acacia,
and stewed apple. Made from mauzac grapes, it is still bottled
according to tradition while the wine is still fermenting during the
“old” or waning moon in March. In nearby Gaillac, essentially the
same method for a making sparkling mauzac wine is dubbed the
méthode gaillacoise. The paragon of the style is undoubtedly the
Mauzac Nature cuvée from Domaine Plageoles, a lip-smacking
wine of great finesse with notes of citrus oil, apple, and hazelnut,
by one of this ancient winemaking region’s oldest wine families.
Once France’s best-kept secrets, today thanks to the pét-nat
craze, such wines are being discovered by oenophiles globally. Take
cerdon, a sparkling cru from the high-altitude vineyards of Bugey
in eastern France. “Fifteen years ago the market for cerdon was
mostly local,” says winemaker Patrick Bottex, “whereas today we
have a growing demand for exports from around the world.” And no
wonder. Using the méthode ancestrale, Bottex produces deep-pink
sparkling wines, boasting tantalizing sweetness, grapefruit-like
acidity, and complex aromas of strawberry and currants. For Anthony
Lynch, son of the iconic importer Kermit Lynch, this once forgotten
Alpine specialty, made essentially the same way for centuries,
is simply “one of the most delicious beverages in existence.”
AROUND THE WORLD, similar rediscoveries are taking place today.
In Italy, a growing number of producers are returning to the old
ways, eschewing industrial techniques to produce lambrusco
and prosecco using only the grapes’ natural sugars, according
to Ernest Ifkovitz of PortoVino Selections, a specialist in Italian
bottle-fermented wines. “Pét-nat’s Italian cousin is called metodo
ancestrale,” he explains: “Glou-glou, easy-drinking aperitivo wines
with fizzy pressure of 2-2.5 bars, but always in the dry brut style,
and thus perfect for a meal as well.” In Germany’s Palatinate region,
Marie Menger-Krug of Motzenbäcker—the country’s most historic
Deutsche Sektgut, or sparkling wine producer, dating back to
1758—has embraced the méthode rurale (another term for méthode
ancestrale) to create a range of wines from chardonnay, sauvignon
blanc, and riesling that recall “the origins of effervescence in wine.”
In North America, winemakers are using pétillant-naturel as a
means to rediscover the unimagined potential of oft-maligned hybrid
grapes (most of which were born of native North American varietals).
From the fabulous Ces Petits Imprévus cuvée of 100% vidal by
Domaine du Nival in Quebec to pét-nats made from marquette,
frontenac, or st. croix by La Garagista in Vermont. In New York’s Finger
Lakes, the Chëpìka wine project seeks to restore the reputation of the
catawba and delaware grapes while reviving a sparkling winemaking
tradition in a region that until Prohibition was a world-renowned
producer of bubbly. Founded in 2016, Chëpìka is a joint venture
between winemaker Nathan Kendall and (naturally) sommelier
Pascaline Lepeltier. “Nobody has vinified these grapes the way we
are doing it in more than 100 years,” she enthuses. And perhaps
that’s the deeper allure of pét-nat—drinking one is like tasting a
wine from another era. With their primal fruit aromas, vibrant acidity,
and jubilant bubbles, they transport us back to the infancy of wine.
“A pét-nat should be fun to drink; it can be
complex, but refreshing at the same time.”

REINVENTING
AN ICON
The rectilinear Brutalist building at the corner of 75th Street and Madison Avenue (right)
is one of Manhattan’s most recognizable human-scale landmarks. Completed in 1966
by architect Marcel Breuer, a Bauhaus veteran and Hungarian immigrant, it was initially
home to the Whitney Museum of American Art. Decades of mooted (and abandoned)
expansions later, it pivoted in 2016 to become the Met Breuer after a major renovation
by U.S. firm Beyer Blinder Belle. Now the next chapter of the history-rich edifice begins
as the Frick Madison. Opening this year, the bulk of the Frick Collection, another Upper
East Side stalwart, will leave its original home for the first time to facilitate a major
expansion of the Henry Clay Frick House, the eponymous industrialist’s Beaux Arts
residence, which was completed in 1914. “We are thrilled that the public will be able
to continue to enjoy these great works of art during the renovation and enhancement
of our permanent home,” says Frick director Ian Wardropper. “Audiences will be able to
experience the collection reframed in an exciting new way. The minimalism of Marcel
Breuer’s mid-century architecture will provide a unique backdrop for our Old Masters.”
Among the new opportunities, the space—organized chronologically and by region—
will enable all 14 paintings of Fragonard’s “The Progress of Love” series to be displayed
together for the first time, as well as putting emphasis on the less familiar highlights of
the collection, such as a pair of 16th-century Mughal carpets and important pieces of
French furniture, Asian and European porcelain, Renaissance bronzes, and European
clocks. More traditional headliners include rooms dedicated exclusively to works by
individual artists, including Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Van Dyck. The Frick Madison is
expected to remain open until the renovation of the Frick House, just five blocks away,
is complete. frick.org

THE LAST WORD
CHRIS FROGGATT
The racing driver and NetJets Brand Ambassador on life off the track
TRAVEL
Sun worshipper or thrill-seeker?
I would say I am more of the
latter. I love new adventures,
whether it’s in the desert—riding
buggies and quad bikes through
the dunes, then relaxing by the
warmth of a campfire at night—or
spending a day diving out at sea.
I have never visited Japan, but I
have many friends who ski there
and have only heard good things.
That’s the next destination to visit
when I can.
FOOD
Top names or hidden gems? One
hundred percent, my preference
is for spots packed with locals
that serve locally sourced, fresh,
simple food. I really enjoy that
authentic experience, but, of
course, there’s always a time
and place for those big names—
it just depends on the mood.
ARTS
Still life or live performance? Not
spending enough time in galleries
or museums, I have to say it’s live
performance. I love the energy
and connection you form with the
performers whether it’s a concert
or at the theater. Over the past
couple of years I’ve started to really
enjoy stand-up comedy. I had the
pleasure of seeing Kevin Hart on
his Irresponsible Tour at The O2
in London; that was particularly
memorable for me.
ENTERTAINMENT
Good book or big screen? I really
enjoy movies and TV shows, although
I have a bad habit of starting
something and never finishing it.
TECHNOLOGY
Latest gadgets or digital detox? I am
a big fan of tech and incorporating
it into day-to-day life to make things
even more efficient. I have started
using a Whoop Strap, and I’ve found
this fitness tracker so useful. It has a
feature to monitor sleep and recovery
that is brilliant.
FUTURE PLANS
Stay on track or exciting moves
around the corner? This year was
extremely successful with Ferrari in
the GT World Challenge, but I feel
there is some unfinished business
there. Outside of this, as for most GT
drivers, competing at the legendary
24 Hours of Le Mans—and the World
Endurance Championship it is part
of—is the dream.
ACCOMMODATION
Grandes dames, luxe design, or
eminently private? When it comes
to travel and hotel preferences, my
style is more toward minimalist/
modern. Very neutral tones: light
wood floors, white/gray marble
bathrooms, sparsely furnished,
and a nice firm bed. I travel
regularly both with racing and my
personal life, and I’ve come to
prioritize the level of service and
attitude from staff.
