Each model, a diverse array of them,
walked tall and unhurried. Each head
was wrapped regally in an artful tur-
ban. Jacobs described his inspiration
as his own daydreams, that wondrous
ability to let the mind roam freely –
recalling the past, imagining a future
and meditating on the in-between.

It was a beautiful collection because
it was not exactly any one thing. It hint-
ed at the majesty of traditional African
caftans and headwraps. But it wasn’t
quite that. It had echoes of athleticism,
with racer stripes down pant legs and
nylon anoraks. But the pants were cut
like Indian dhotis, and the anoraks
were paired with elaborately embel-
lished slippers. There were oversize
blazers and gargantuan cardigans. But
it was definitely not business suiting.

The collection was tailored and in-

WINE COLUMN

Bordeaux’s châteaux now open for meals and sleepovers

BY ELIN MCCOY Château Cos d’Estournel.

The wine region of Bordeaux, long Château Siaurac. Château Troplong Mondot. Château Pape Clémen.
willfully fusty, is in the midst of a modern
tourist boom. Last year saw the opening
of the swirling aluminum-and-glass La
Cité du Vin, a spectacular high-tech mu-
seum devoted to wine and culture. And
this July brought a two-hour high-speed
train link from Paris.

In the city of Bordeaux proper, beau-
tiful 18th century buildings have shed
their soot to stand gleaming once again
as part of a renewal project that helped
the municipality gain Unesco World
Heritage status in 2007. Jazzy wine bars
and inventive chefs have swept in since,
upending decades of heavy cuisine
doused in buttery sauces.

Now you’ll want to venture beyond
town for the real fun: The appellation’s
celebrated wine châteaux, whose doors
were long shut to tourists, have unveiled
dazzling wineries designed by big-name
architects. And more than a dozen of
them, including billionaire-owned
Château Cos d’Estournel, have begun
welcoming wine lovers for lunch, din-
ner, and even overnight stays in opulent
rooms overlooking the vines.

Custom-designed home on one of The Moorings’ best lots

BY STEPHANIE LABAFF

Staff Writer

A wall of glass greets guests as they
cross the threshold at 153 Anchor
Drive in the Anchor at the Moorings,
giving way to a dramatic view of the
Indian River and The Moorings’ fa-
mous Pete Dye Golf Course.

Located at the tip of the anchor-
shaped peninsula that gives the
neighborhood its name, the clean,
crisp lines and refined elegance of
this house enhance the river-view
experience. “Everything is geared to-
ward the view,” says listing agent Judy
Hargarten, Realtor with The Moor-
ings Realty Sales Co.

The owners lived on a boat when
they discovered The Moorings. “We
were just opening these lots up, and
he couldn’t believe he could have the
view and a boat all in one spot. He
was one of the first buyers out here,”
recalls Hargarten.

Vero Beach architect George Bollis
and interior designer Michael Bros-
ché teamed up to create a contempo-
rary design that would embrace the
river, making it easy for the owners
to drop anchor and settle down or
set sail at the drop of a hat. And the
couple definitely put down roots,
calling their riverside haven home for
30 years.

“It’s one of the best views in the An-
chor. It’s a premier site to begin with,
and we did everything we could to
capture that. Even the angles we used
in the house were meant to capture
that view,” shares Bollis. “We custom-
ized everything in the house from the
moldings to the fireplace mantle.”

“The owner was very direct in ex-

pressing his desire for a clean, time-
less, contemporary home. We worked
closely as we fine-tuned the floor
plans. Then I started the design of the
spaces within, aiming to create a con-
temporary home the owners would
enjoy, yet with warmth that fit the is-
land style,” says Brosché.

The clients wanted a neutral pal-
ette, yet inviting and warm, accord-
ing to Brosché. To accomplish that
the crown molding was designed
with a bullnose at the ceiling and
a recessed reveal on the flat wood.
“This set a tone of blending the tra-
ditional with a contemporary twist.
Selecting the white for the walls and
slightly creamier white for the trim,
as well as the natural stone floors,
gives the home its timeless gallery
look. In all my designs, I stay away
from ‘trends of the moment’ and
keep with a solution that will last,”
explains Brosché,

A unique feature is the arbor-like
den recalls Brosché. “With a very spa-
cious and open great room planned,
it was important to create more in-
timate spaces where the couple
would feel comfortable enjoying an
evening alone. So I created the ‘hid-
den’ media area, with its step up and
then a dropped ‘open trellis’ ceiling,
all within the great room. This cozy
area, spacious in its own right, is a
great place to watch a movie or to curl
up with a good book and enjoy the
expansive water views that the great
room faced.”

A few steps away, the wet bar was
designed to be convenient but not on
display. With the touch of a button, a
wooden, tambour-paneled wall hides
the area when it’s not in use.

The sleeping areas are located at
the north end of the house with his
and her bedrooms joined by an exten-
sive bathroom. The master and mis-
tress of the house can enjoy their own
space with his and her dressing areas,
showers and water closets or meet in
