ART: THE FARM PROJECT BY MIKE MEIRÉ AT DESIGN MIAMI, DECEMBER 2007
The kitchen is a highly complex place, an ongoing "making of", a workshop for the senses. Mike Meiré has brought the kitchen back to life in its archaic form as a counterpoint to high-tech minimalist design tendencies. Pots, pans and hams hang from the ceiling. Live sheep, goats and pigs serve as reminder that food does not come from the supermarket, but is something living. As a social event "The Farm Project" tells stories of life and death, past and present, transience and honesty. "The Farm Project" was created within the framework of Dornbracht Edges, a series of projects at the interface between architecture, design and art. The installation was most recently exhibited as part of the opening days of sculpture projects muenster 07 and had already been displayed in Milan (Salone del Mobile 2006) and Cologne. http://www.cultureprojects.com Dornbracht Edges "The Farm Project", Dec. 7 - 9 2007, daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Miami Design District, Palm Lot, 140 NE 39th Street, Miami, FL 33137 VINITALY TOUR MIAMI 2008 FEB. 11-12, MIAMI; FEB 13 - PALM BEACH Vinitaly, the international Italian Wine Fair, has added another important stop on its international tour: Vinitaly Tour Miami.

THE MACALLAN 55 YEARS OLD SINGLE MALT WHISKY IN LALIQUE DECANTER The Macallan 55 Years Old single malt has introduced The Natural Colour decanter containing a rare 55 years old single malt whisky valued at $12,000 in a handcrafted Lalique decanter based on the classic Paquerettes tiara perfume bottle designed by Rene Lalique in 1910. Only 420 decanters are being produced, each individually numbered, one hundred of which will be available in the United States in January of 2008. The Macallan 55 Years Old single malt is cask strength (40.1% abv), and has remained undisturbed for over half a century at the Easter Elchies House in Speyside, Scotland - where it matured through the decades in a sherry oak cask. Dark rosewood in colour, the liquid has aromatic notes of exotic, sweet dried fruits with a hint of peat-smoke, while the finish is smooth and spicy with lingering touches of citrus.
