dinner party.

Anyway, back to the Coravin. This
is the device introduced four years
ago that promised to revolutionize
wine drinking by allowing collectors
to sample their rare wines without
extracting the cork and exposing the
wine to oxygen.

The Coravin inserts a needle
through the cork and extracts some
wine, replacing it with inert argon
gas that coats the surface of the wine
remaining in the bottle, protecting it
from oxygen. The rest of the wine can
be sampled days, weeks even months
later without fear of it oxidizing. It’s a
wine nerd’s dream gadget, allowing
us to stretch our enjoyment of prized
bottles over several nights or even
months.

While intended for collectors, the
Coravin quickly became a darling of
sommeliers, who could offer expen-
sive, rare wines for diners willing to
splurge on a taste or a glass but re-
luctant to plunk big money on a full
bottle.

But screw caps? They became pop-
ular with winemakers about 15 years
ago because inferior corks were ruin-
ing too many wines with the moldy
smell known as cork taint.

A few wineries have experimented
with screw caps on top wines, and
Chehalem winery, in Oregon, has dem-
onstrated that its wines age well under
screw cap. Yet natural cork remains
the closure of choice for higher-end
wines. Screw caps are more for wines
designed for early consumption.

That may be changing. According

Business, a British trade website, out

Florida meets British West Indies in Palm Island home

Staff Writer

Enjoy relaxed coastal living from
a bird’s-eye view in the penthouse at
110 Island Plantation Terrace in the
ocean-to-river community of Palm
Island Plantation. Resort-like living
at its best awaits in this 3,480-square-
foot, luxury condominium with four
bedrooms and three baths.

With only two units per floor, pri-
vacy is at a premium. “These condos
are all concrete block construction
with structural pilings, which gives
them a lot of structural integrity,”
notes Steven Owen, Westmark Enter-
prises vice president. The floors are
poured concrete with all block walls
between the units to ensure sound-
proofing between units.

A private elevator opens into the
large foyer and double doors lead to

offer sunrise and sunset views to en-
joy early morning coffee listening to
the call of tropical birds as they fish
along the river and evening cocktails
as waves crash along the shoreline.

Just off the formal living area, the
master suite dominates the eastern
side of the penthouse. This quiet, sun-
lit retreat features floor-to-ceiling win-
dows leading out to a private terrace.
The richly appointed master bath pairs
subtle green hues with beige tiles add-
ing to the solitude. Walk-in closets, his
and her sinks and a water closet finish
the master’s domain.

On the opposite side of the living
room, the formal dining room pro-
vides ample space for entertaining.
For more casual get-togethers, the
gourmet kitchen and breakfast area
overflow into the living area. Granite
countertops, a wine refrigerator and
built-in desk make good use of this
elegant space.

Along the hallway leading to the
guest rooms, a wet bar and laundry
room provide added privacy for visi-
tors staying in the bedrooms with en
suite baths.

The den provides a quiet space to
contemplate or take in the sunset
from the private porch. “This room
could also be a fourth bedroom,” ac-
cording to Janyne Kenworthy, a Re-
altor with Treasure Coast Sotheby’s
International Realty. “Most people
want that extra room, which can be
an office, a guest bedroom or be a
full-fledged fourth bedroom.”

“Palm Island builds a beautiful
home,” added Kenworthy. “They
build a quality product. You get the
best of everything: ocean-to-river liv-
ing with access to the beach and the
Indian River Lagoon. This unit has
been very lightly used, and the pri-
vate cabana is a huge plus.”

You’ve only to take a quick walk
across the street to dig your toes into
the sand. The Beach Club offers ev-
erything needed to enjoy a relaxing
day at the beach. Cool off in the pri-

and does not have an obligation to
search the title on a home. The list-
ing broker does not have a legal duty
to know what items may or may not
affect the title to the home. Having
said that, the listing broker will cer-
tainly want to know whether a home
will sell or can sell if it has serious is-
sues, and a tax lien of that size would
certainly qualify as a serious issue.

We have yet to meet a listing bro-
ker who is willing to put the time and
effort into trying to get a home sold
knowing that the issues involving the
home will make it impossible to sell.

When a homeowner lists a home
with real estate tax liens, federal tax
liens, state revenue tax liens or litiga-
tion liens, the home may still be sal-
able, but the seller may have to take
additional steps to get from the con-
tract state to the closing table. And
the steps may vary depending on
what liens are attached.

Let’s start with real estate tax
liens. These liens may be for unpaid
real estate taxes. If the sales price of
the home is sufficient to pay off the
mortgage and the unpaid real estate
taxes, you will be able to close. If the
money is not enough to close and the
mortgage lender is unwilling to take
less money than what it is owed, the
sale will fall through.

Digressing just a bit, in the years
since the Great Recession, many sell-
ers and buyers became acutely aware
of short sales. A short sale is where
the sales price is too low for the sales
proceeds to pay for all of the closing
expenses and the liens on the home.
