Abra Cadabra TECH: PHILIP STEIN WINE WAND Magic wands really do exist — at least for oenophiles who’d rather not wait for their bo les to breathe. Philip Stein’s Wine Wand mimics the natural frequency of oxygen and infuses it into the liquid. So, by placing the wand in a wine bo le for just ﬁve minutes, or in a glass for two minutes, the wine’s natural tastes and aromas come the fore in a fraction of the usual time. Made of an elegant glass tube with decorative crystals inside and a crystal grip on the end, the Wine Wand, available in home or travel sizes, comes in either a leather alligator or lizard traveling case. $525 or $325. — AS //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Cheers to Cointreau LIQUOR: COINTREAU NOIR Cocktail parties will get a tasty new kick once Cointreau Noir makes its U.S. debut this month. The luscious liqueur combines the classic, bi ersweet orange Cointreau with Remy Martin cognac. A smooth blend of sweet and spicy, the velvety concoction tastes best when served neat or on the rocks. Stylishly bo led with a golden opaque ﬁnish, Cointreau Noir will be available in liquor stores for $60 per bo le. We’ll drink to that. — AS THAT AN YVES SAINT LAURENT EXHIBITION GOES UP THIS MONTH AT THE FINE ARTS MUSEUM OF SAN FRANCISCO? Stay Loose FIT: YOGA Don’t let a long plane ride cramp your style. Doing yoga before, and during, a ﬂight allows you to stretch your muscles to avoid cramping up in that tiny seat. Michelle Demas, program director at Equinox’s Pure Yoga facility in New York understands this all too well. Before joining Equinox, she managed North American sales and marketing for PRADA Sport. “I was in an airplane to somewhere in the U.S., Canada, or Italy almost every week. Practicing yoga made the time changes, ﬂying, and driving much easier on my body, mind, and spirit,” she says. Here are her tips for staying loose: While in ﬂight, Demas says that a few simple seated poses can allow you to leave the plane feeling relaxed and refreshed. “Try a seated cat or cow poses to keep the spine mobile, a forward fold to elongate the hamstrings, and a seated pigeon pose to relieve tight hips.” Post ﬂight, she says that practicing yoga will alleviate jet lag, and allow your body to unwind. And while away from home, yoga is available to practice day or night. “All you need is a travel mat, or even just a bit of ﬂoor space and a towel in your hotel room. A strong vinyasa practice provides both cardiovascular and strength beneﬁts, so it is an ideal form of exercise for the frequent traveler.” CITY I 27
