We spotlight two exclusive offerings ideal for jewelry connoisseurs and vino buffs alike, from names like Sauer and Lawrence Wine Estates.
This Trip to Menorca, Spain Might Be the Most Luxurious Way to See a Solar EclipseYou know the classic story, where a hero must head into the unknown with the hope of finding something, whether treasure or fulfilment .
It’s the quest that drives Neo in The Matrix, Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, Shrek in Shrek, and Odysseus in The Odyssey—no wonder Christopher Nolan will soon launch a big-budget riff on Homer’s epic. It’s also the story arc of the life of one extraordinary man: Jules Sauer. The Frenchman fled Europe during the Nazi persecution of the Jews in 1939 before eventually settling in Brazil. There, he established a new life and a reputation as one of the world’s finest jewelers, renowned for its expertise in cutting and design, especially of large roughs. He was restless, even once he found a safe, new home. And when he heard rumors about a mine in the rural Bahia province that might hold an extraordinary haul of gems, he didn’t dismiss them as so many of his peers rushed to do. Instead, Sauer embarked on his own hero’s journey, trekking to that rural corner to see what was happening firsthand. The green stones that ignorant passersby had assumed were shards of glass were far more than that: They were the first emerald deposits discovered in Brazil. Their quality, richly saturated and startlingly clear, transformed the market for the stone worldwide and earned Sauer widespread plaudits for both championing their use and stretching the definition of what an emerald could do. That was in 1963, and since then, his namesake firm has become world-famous for its expert handling of emeralds like that, as well as other stunning stones. That’s why The Vault is proud to partner with them to offer an extraordinary modern design that riffs on what made Jules Sauer so distinctive. Curious to learn more? Read on. Certainly, some people have a drive to collect, an urge to connoisseurship that seems innate. Science, of course, struggles to prove whether that’s predestined in their genes, though some studies suggest that some tendency toward hoarding—put another way, collecting to excess—is heritable. It’s undeniable, though, that the urge to acquire a rarefied, mindful collection is stronger in some than in others. If you’re one of them, especially if you’ve dabbled in cellaring wine, this week’s offering from The Vault is tailormade for you. Assembling a collection from scratch is daunting, both for where to start and where to focus once you do. Finding advice, of course, is essential, whether it’s an art adviser able to steer you between Rothko and Rodin or an antiques dealer whose expertise can spot a fake without flinching. But what about wine? The key isn’t just to find someone with superb connections to wrangle headline-grabbing vintages for your cellar, but also to discover an expert who’ll help you better understand your own tastes one sip at a time. That’s where Erik Elliott comes in. The Master Sommelier is part of winemaker Carlton McCoy’s inner circle in Napa, with a renowned palate that he’s ready to deploy just for you. This offering was devised by winemaker McCoy, that superstar wunderkind who became the region’s first Black vineyard CEO at Heitz; now, one of his most trusted lieutenants is available for counsel via The Vault. Elliott is primed and ready for an extraordinary day at Home Ranch, the house where Joe Heitz originally lived. He’ll steer and advise you through an in-depth tasting session to help identify and articulate the flavor profiles that should define your cellar, and he’ll then help you build it with a very special bonus.
