Greg Brewer was working on his master’s degree in medieval French literature at UC Santa Barbara when the wine bug bit him. What started out as a side job as an estate host at Santa Barbara Winery would catapult a more than 30-year winemaking career. Photo by Jeremy Ball In 1996, while working as the winemaker at Melville Winery, Greg created his eponymous label, Brewer-Clifton, with original partner Steve Clifton. Instead of translating medieval French texts, Greg found himself interpreting the dialects of different vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills—an appellation he helped to map, define, and establish in 2001. Greg has since created the label, Diatom, a starkly raised Chardonnay; Ex Post Facto, a cool-climate Syrah; and, most recently, PERILUNE, an artistic collaboration involving a Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that represent a dialectical shift from Brewer-Clifton. Among the countless high scores awarded to his wines, Greg was named Winemaker of the Year in 2020 by Wine Enthusiast Magazine. He is also one of a select few winemakers worldwide chosen to speak this October as a “Wine Star” at Wine Spectator’s New York Wine Experience—the most prestigious consumer wine tasting event in the United States. For Greg and his small team, when it comes to winemaking, place is paramount. “We don’t see ourselves as making anything,” he explains. “We’re deliberate in the location of our vineyards…but at the winery it’s about removal of self, maintaining a quiet voice. Everything is raised in neutrality. Our barrels are 15-20 years old. Everything is raised the same each year, so there is no prejudice from vineyard to vineyard, or block to block.” A corollary to this extremely disciplined winemaking approach is an utmost respect for nature. This means surrendering to the beauty of nature’s imperfections—an ethos grounded in the Japanese concept of wabi sabi. “That is ultimately the intrigue in wines,” Greg explains, “The intrigue in nature is that level of something which is a little askew, a little off kilter, a little out of tune, deliberately so. And that’s actually the perfection. That’s the beauty.” Although Brewer-Clifton is his life’s work, Greg is quick to clarify that it never has been, nor will it ever be, about him. Rather, it is about illuminating the irreplicable geographic, geologic and climatic uniqueness of the Sta. Rita Hills through its wines. Situated a mere 18 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vineyards benefit from a unique transversal mountain range that runs east to west, allowing cold ocean air to funnel into the vineyards. The marine layer cools the vines, extending the growing season and promoting maximum flavor development. The ocean’s influence extends to the soils, seen in one of the rare deposits of diatomaceous earth, or fossilized plankton, in the United States. The resulting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay embrace the power, pedigree, and richness of the Sta. Rita Hills that have become the trademark style of Brewer–Clifton. PERILUNE This year, Greg released his newest label PERILUNE. The brand and the vineyard share the name, which means a spot in orbit closest to the moon. Greg chose the name because the stark, empty, and contemplative landscape of the Sta. Rita Hills reminds him of the moon. Working closely with Greg, Senior Designer Tami Lovett-Brumfield explored concepts that would convey PERILUNE’s lunar-like topography and space-like feel of the concrete eggs used to make the wine. A designer and illustrator by trade, Tami handcrafted textures with sumi and Indian inks, black gouache, and acrylic paints, applying the media with traditional sumi brushes, sticks, natural sponges, and handmade circular stamps. The final art is a digitized version of the tactile media, exploring the interplay of dark and light or yin and yang. It conveys stillness and calm with smooth black areas balancing warm gold textural spheres meant to evoke the sun and the moon. In bringing PERILUNE to life, Greg and his team deliberately chose a singular concrete egg because it is a neutral vessel that offers a different, yet clean expression of the grape and its terroir. The egg’s symbolic representation of birth was also important. PERILUNE Chardonnay is harvested early and malolactic fermentation is inhibited to capture a higher octave and less fruit-forward voice of place. The wine has a subtle quietness about itself and a feeling of serenity. PERILUNE Pinot Noir is fully destemmed prior to fermentation, after which the wine is pressed into the egg for it to evolve within, yielding an expression that is a bit racier with a bigger personality. Only 75 cases each of PERILUNE Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were produced for the inaugural 2022 vintage.

The PINK-O Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing impactful patient support services for women with breast cancer on their journey from diagnosis throughout survivorship, as well as surveillance and intervention for women at high risk, is proud to announce that it has been granted 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This designation will further the Foundation’s mission and expand its support in the South Florida community, particularly through its alignment and partnership with the University of Miami’s (UM) Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. Founded in 2024 by Wendi Sugarman Bieber, a stage three breast cancer survivor, the PINK-O Charitable Foundation serves as the nonprofit umbrella of PINK-O de MAYO, “The Party for a Purpose,” which has become a renowned, sold-out South Florida event since she created and founded it in 2021. The 2024 event, held at Living Sculpture Sanctuary in Davie, FL, raised over $90,000 to support breast cancer patients, survivors and those at high risk. On behalf of the Foundation, Bieber and the Executive Board presented a $90,200 donation of the proceeds from PINK-O de MAYO to the UM Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center on Friday, Oct. 18. The presentation took place during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time devoted to raising awareness about breast cancer, the importance of early detection, access to timely, high-quality care and Patient Support Services. The 501(c)(3) status is a significant milestone for the PINK-O Charitable Foundation, as it recognizes the Foundation’s commitment to providing impactful and direct support for vital programs, patient assistance and services through its established partnership and unparalleled support with the UM Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. This status also allows donors to make tax-deductible contributions, enhancing the Foundation’s ability to raise funds and support its programs in various areas of support. “We are thrilled to receive 501(c)(3) status in just three and a half years,” said Bieber. “This designation is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our Executive Board, donors, vendor alliances and supporters. It enables the PINK-O Charitable Foundation to increase its multidisciplinary approach and effort in two distinct areas for UM Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center including growing patient support services and the Center’s C.A.R.E. (Cancer Assessment Risk Evaluation) Clinic.” The designation will intensify the PINK-O Charitable Foundation’s reach and mission for additional donor and sponsor opportunities and events to significantly expand various aspects of patient support services, survivorship programs and initiatives as well as support and growth of the C.A.R.E. (Cancer Assessment Risk Evaluation) Clinic for those at a higher risk for developing Breast Cancer. The UM Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only designated National Cancer Institute (NCI) Cancer Center in the region. NCI Centers meet the highest standards for cancer care and treatments and are known for their scientific and clinical excellence and the ability to have the resources and abilities to integrate various approaches through research and trials for cancer. With this innovation, research, trials, state-of-the-art care and cancer experts allows a plethora of new opportunities to serve and support patients. With the new 501(c)(3) status, the PINK-O Charitable Foundation will increase all aspects of its mission to make a direct impact for patients in multidisciplinary capacities for supporting, saving and enriching the lives of those who have received a diagnosis, and those that can be prevented from receiving one.

Baglietto , a longstanding name in luxury yacht building, is bringing a fresh approach to the 2024 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), opting for a unique venue that promises a quieter, more exclusive experience for guests. Rather than taking the usual exhibition route, the Italian shipbuilder will host clients and partners at the High Tides Lounge located at the Bahia Mar Hotel pool. The location offers a relaxed, private setting, allowing Baglietto representatives to connect with attendees outside the intense atmosphere of the show floor. Baglietto T52 Akula ©StudioILLUME This shift in approach follows the recent appointment of Tommaso Bilotta, who joined the Baglietto team in June to oversee U.S. operations, reinforcing the company’s interest in growing its American presence. Running from October 31 to November 2, the lounge setup aims to provide an alternative space for brokers, clients, and industry friends to engage with Baglietto’s team and offerings without the distractions of the larger event. Fabio Ermetto, Baglietto’s Sales Director, explained that the choice reflects a desire to create “a pleasant atmosphere” where visitors can escape from the show’s intensity while staying close to the action. Baglietto Celebrates 170 Years of Italian Yachting Excellence Italian superyacht builder Baglietto marked its 170th anniversary with a two-day celebration a few weeks ago, attended by approximately 250 guests, including esteemed clients, press, and national and local authorities. Hosted by the Gavio Group and Baglietto's management, the event highlighted the shipyard's rich history and future vision. Baglietto's 170th anniversary event Italian actor Lorena Bianchetti emceed the event, paying tribute to Baglietto’s long standing influence in the yachting world. A special highlight was the presentation of Baglietto: The Art of Yachting Since 1854 , a book by Antonio Macaluso, set for release on October 29, 2024. The celebration also introduced a new design concept, a continuation of Baglietto's over 30-year collaboration with designer Francesco Paszkowski. Vittorio Emanuele III, Courtesy Archivio Baglietto Baglietto’s Yacht Building Facilities and Expansion Based in La Spezia, Italy, Baglietto specializes in building high-speed gliding yachts in aluminum, spanning from 38 to 50 meters, as well as larger displacement yachts up to 70 meters in steel and aluminum. The shipyard has expanded substantially in recent years, with facilities that include two main sites in La Spezia and Carrara. The La Spezia headquarters covers 35,000 square meters, housing three newly built warehouses for vessels up to 65 meters and docks for yachts up to 70 meters. Meanwhile, the Carrara site supports both civilian and military projects, with one 5,000-square-meter area dedicated to building military vessels under the Baglietto Navy brand and another with four production halls designated for yachts up to 50 meters. Alongside its yacht portfolio, Baglietto has also launched Bertram’s Italian line, which includes models between 35 and 39 feet, further diversifying its offerings. This presence at FLIBS, through an exclusive lounge setup, aligns with Baglietto’s ambitions to solidify its brand presence in the U.S. market and foster closer connections with potential clients in a more personalized setting. With this choice of a secluded lounge away from the main exhibition floor, Baglietto is hoping to leave a memorable mark at FLIBS while carving out a distinctive niche for personal interaction at the event.

Choosing the right daycare for a baby is a big decision that requires careful consideration. A baby-friendly daycare can provide a safe, nurturing environment where babies can learn and grow while parents are at work. But with so many options available, it’s important to know what to look for to ensure the daycare meets both the parents and the baby’s needs. Here are some key factors to consider when selecting a baby-friendly daycare. Image by Oksix / Adobestock Prioritize Safety and Cleanliness Safety is the top priority when choosing a daycare for a baby. The daycare facility should have secure entry points and follow strict safety protocols, including emergency plans and regular fire drills. Additionally, cleanliness is crucial to avoid exposing babies to germs and illnesses. Make sure the daycare has clean and sanitary practices, including regular cleaning schedules, sanitized toys, and handwashing routines. A safe environment ensures babies can explore and play without unnecessary risks. Check for Trained and Caring Staff The daycare staff should be well-trained, patient, and genuinely caring. Look for caregivers who are experienced in early childhood education and understand babies' specific needs. Observe how the staff interacts with the babies to get a sense of their level of attention, care, and patience. Babies need consistent, nurturing interactions with caregivers to feel secure, so a team that shows warmth and engagement is essential for a positive daycare experience. Consider the Daycare’s Location and Convenience Choosing a conveniently located daycare can make a significant difference in a parent’s daily routine. Parents who often travel or have busy schedules may want to discover best travel-friendly baby bottles  that can be packed easily for quick feedings before or after daycare drop-offs. A conveniently located daycare can save time and reduce stress, allowing for smoother transitions in and out of the facility. Proximity to home or work can also make it easier to reach the daycare quickly if an emergency arises. Image by MeganBetteridge / Adobestock Evaluate the Daily Schedule and Activities The daily routine and activities offered at the daycare should promote healthy growth and learning for babies. Ask about the activities provided, such as sensory play, storytime, or music sessions. A structured but flexible schedule helps babies adapt to routines while engaging activities stimulate their curiosity and development. Babies benefit from a balanced mix of playtime, naptime, and feeding schedules, supporting their mental and physical growth. Look for Small Group Sizes and Low Baby-to-Caregiver Ratios A baby-friendly daycare should maintain small group sizes and low caregiver-to-baby ratios. Smaller group sizes allow caregivers to provide more individualized attention and cater to each baby’s needs. A lower ratio of babies per caregiver ensures that each child is cared for attentively, reducing the risk of accidents and creating a safer, more nurturing environment. Ask about the center’s caregiver-to-baby ratio to ensure it meets recommended standards. Assess the Communication with Parents Open and regular communication between daycare staff and parents is important for a positive daycare experience. A quality daycare will inform parents about their baby’s progress and daily activities, including feeding routines. Using Dr. Talbot's baby bottles for consistent, easy feeding ensures that the baby is getting the best care, whether at home or daycare. Reliable feeding products can give parents added confidence in their child’s daily routine. Image by Kzenon / Adobestock Observe the Facility’s Play and Learning Spaces The physical environment of the daycare should be baby-friendly, with designated areas for play, naps, and feedings. Play areas should be clean, spacious, and with age-appropriate toys promoting learning and exploration. Napping areas should be calm, dimly lit, and comfortable, allowing babies to rest peacefully. A well-organized facility ensures babies can engage in different activities safely, which is essential for a balanced daycare experience. Consider the Daycare’s Policies on Health and Nutrition Many daycares provide meals and snacks, so it’s important to check their nutrition policy to ensure the food is balanced and appropriate for babies. Some parents prefer to provide their own food, especially for babies with specific dietary needs. Additionally, ask about the daycare’s sick policies and vaccination requirements, which can help prevent the spread of illnesses. A daycare that emphasizes health and nutrition supports a baby’s overall well-being. In Conclusion Selecting a baby-friendly daycare requires a close look at safety, care quality, and communication. By considering factors like trained staff, a clean environment, engaging activities, and open communication, parents can choose a daycare that meets their baby’s needs and provides peace of mind. Taking the time to assess these aspects ensures that babies will enjoy a safe, nurturing, and enriching experience while they’re away from home. By ML Staff. Images courtesy of Adobestock

9881 EBH LTD, owned by West Bay Harbor Holdings and Tenen Developing BHI, announce the launch of leasing for the Rexleigh, a sophisticated five-story luxury waterfront property nestled in the heart of Bay Harbor Islands. The property, located at 9881 East Bay Harbor Island, underwent a complete gut renovation, which preserved key architectural elements. The Rexleigh seamlessly integrates modern living while preserving key elements that not only celebrate Miami Beach’s heritage, but also elevate the property’s look and feel. Carefully curated decor reflecting Mid-Century Miami Beach’s resort style abound. As you enter the lobby, a beautiful vintage metal wall sculpture attributed to MiMo architect Igor Polevitzky greets you. Circular silver metal screens also exist at each floor to allow breeze to flow through the hallways. These “bubbles” are also echoed on each balcony railing, allowing for waterfront views. Other elements include reclaimed furnishings and décor from iconic Art Deco Miami Beach hotels in the Rexleigh's lobby and common areas, as well as vintage Miami Beach photos in the residences, which enrich the property with a sense of history and sophistication. The Rexleigh offers flexible options from one-month to one-year leasing periods and monthly rates starting from $4,000 to $12,000, depending on duration of stay, unit size and season. There is a growing demand for luxury rental options in this area, driven by the perfect blend of upscale living and proximity to the city's best shopping, dining, beaches, and schools. The fully furnished waterfront residences range from 900 to 1,600 square feet and are fully equipped with everything one might possibly need. Miami designer Nicolette Bernstein collaborated closely with the owners to ensure a commitment to a mid-Century design aesthetic throughout the common spaces and interiors of units, while still embracing all of the modern conveniences and whimsical design elements throughout.

Information on leasing is available at www.rexleighbayharbor.com , by emailing info@rexleighbayharbor.com  or calling 786.835.7650. By ML staff.

Nestled along Biscayne Bay and just minutes from the beach, Downtown Miami and more, Edgewater has transformed from a quiet residential neighborhood into one of the city’s most sought-after luxury enclaves. With renowned architects and top-tier developers reshaping its skyline, the neighborhood now boasts some of Miami’s most desirable real estate. One of the last central waterfront neighborhoods that hasn’t been fully developed, Edgewater offers a prime location near the Miami Design District, Wynwood and Midtown—at heart of the city’s best culture, art and dining. This transformation has been fueled by bold residential developments from leading names like Terra, One Thousand Group, Melo Group, and Two Roads Development. East Edgewater is now home to a series of sleek, high-end residential towers, merging top-tier design and luxury residences catering to the influx of wealthy buyers who call Miami home.  A standout in Edgewater’s revitalization is Villa Miami, the latest residential project by Terra and One Thousand Group. Currently under construction, the tower stands 650 feet above the bay with a striking copper-clad exterior. Inside, every residence will offer panoramic views of Biscayne Bay, along with a suite of top-tier amenities. But the true wow factor is its partnership with Major Food Group (MFG), marking the group’s first-ever branded residential tower. Villa Miami’s residents will also enjoy VIP access to MFG’s first waterfront restaurant opening up just downstairs. New culinary destinations are also popping up in the surrounding areas, including the much-anticipated Mother Wolf, a contemporary Italian concept by Los Angeles icon Evan Funke, and Sparrow Italia, which recently opened in Wynwood after its success in New York and London. Beyond luxury residences and dining, Edgewater is incredibly walkable, with a walk score of 87/100 according to the Miami Herald . New parks, pathways and the scenic Baywalk promenade give pedestrians a seamless connection to the outdoors.   Residents and visitors can also look forward to the opening of the grocery giant Whole Foods which made a significant investment in Edgewater by signing a 20-year lease in 2020. This move by one of the most trusted names in retail is a strong endorsement of the neighborhood’s growth and potential. Edgewater is rapidly becoming one of Miami’s premier addresses. As more world-class developments rise and iconic brands like Whole Foods and Major Food Group establish a presence, the future of this thriving waterfront enclave looks brighter than ever.

Gold has always held a certain allure. If you roll the clock back a few thousand years, you'll understand why this rare entity continues to mesmerize investors: seared into its DNA is an untainted value that draws people in, time and time again. Modern society is rife with instability that prompts investors to seek shelter in time-tested assets like gold, silver, and other precious metals blessed with an intrinsic value that never fades. But in today's unpredictable economic climate, is investing in physical gold still a good idea?  It is, and here is why: Diversification Benefits Investing in gold provides diversification benefits. Adding gold to your investment portfolio can help buffer your losses if the stock or bond market takes a hit. Imagine being insulated from stock market turbulence. That's what investing in gold can do for you: it can provide a buffer against potential downturns, but only if you conduct thorough research and source your gold from reputable dealers like Pimbex . That way, you can avoid scams and ensure the authenticity of your gold. Picture your portfolio as a safety net woven from threads of different assets that can help catch you when the market tumbles - as it often does. Gold's unique price movement makes it a valuable addition to any diversified portfolio, especially compared to other assets.   It's a Great Investment Vehicle As part of a broader diversified portfolio, investing in physical gold is a sound investment strategy because gold has a long history of holding its value well over time.  However, the keyword here is 'as part of a broader, diversified portfolio.' So, how can you invest in physical gold and make it part of your investment portfolio? Consider buying gold coins, bars, or a new piece of jewelry. However, evaluate the pros and cons of buying and owning different types of physical gold. For example, gold coins are easy to buy and sell but often have a higher premium over gold spot price. Gold bars, on the other hand, tend to have lower premiums but can be harder to liquidate quickly. Jewelry shoppers, beware: that perfect piece may come with hidden expenses, like the cost of expert craftsmanship and clever design elements. Understanding these options can help you handpick the approach that aligns with your financial aspirations and liquidity needs. Historical Significance Gold is a good investment because its appeal is not just modern; it dates back to ancient civilizations. During challenging economic times, people depended on it as a currency, sported it as a symbol of success, and parked their wealth there for safekeeping. The centuries-old value  attached to gold generates a trust factor that other investment options can't match. People have always turned to gold in times of crisis, and this pattern continues today, with many investors diversifying through high return small investments  and precious metals like gold.   Take a step back and gaze across the landscape of history: through wars, depressions, and booms, gold has remained an unwavering standard of value with an impossible-to-deny allure that makes it a consideration-worthy investment vehicle. Stability in Uncertain Times One key reason people flock to gold during uncertain times is its stability. Unlike paper currency or digital assets, gold holds its value even when the economy falters. During periods of inflation, when money has a lower purchasing power, gold tends to retain its value.  Those eager to protect their financial legacies find this route remarkably attractive. Gold's tangible nature also provides a sense of security not offered by digital investments. Its stability is particularly appealing in a world of unpredictable financial markets. The Age-old Silver vs. Gold Question While gold often steals the spotlight as one of the best precious metals to invest in, silver is another physical asset worth considering. You'll find silver sandwiched alongside gold in the investment portfolios of the elite because it promises equivalent financial clout, shields assets from inflationary shocks, and multiplies investment options. Silver is a more popular investment vehicle than gold because it's more affordable to those working with limited funds. While gold tends to be more stable, silver's value can surge or plummet rapidly, promising possible big payoffs. As you invest in gold, consider spreading your investment risk by adding silver  to the mix; it could lead to a more balanced portfolio and even bigger profits, especially because of its varied and wide use in multiple industries. Conclusion Investing in physical gold, and to some extent silver, can be a smart move during economic uncertainty.
