C an a grape suffer
from multiple
personality
disorder? Consider the
strange case of the noble
Riesling. No murderous
side to watch out for like
Dr. Jekyll’s creepy alter
ego, but this aromatic
grape can surprise with
its extreme personality
changes. Upon first
introduction, Riesling is
zesty and crisp, perfectly
complementing your
grilled scallops; during
your second encounter,
it’s fruity and floral; and
once you think you have
a handle on this grape,
you discover a lusciously
sweet version with exotic
tropical aromas. Is it
possible for one grape to
produce such different
styles?
Naturally high in
acidity, Riesling
(pronounced “Reez-ling”)
is one of the few white
wines capable of aging.
Since it is rarely oaked or
blended, the wine is
considered a pure
expression of the grape
and the land. Depending
on the terroir and
climate, aromas and
flavours can range from
citrus to apple, stone fruit
such as peach and
apricot, tropical fruit like
pineapple and mango,
honey, and, with age,
petrol.
Two regions that best
demonstrate the diverse
styles of Riesling are just
a hop, skip and a jump
across the border from
each other. Mosel, in
Germany, typically
produces light-bodied,
medium-sweet Rieslings;
while in France, Alsatian
Rieslings tend to be dry
with a bracing acidity.
THE MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES OF RIESLING
Understanding one of the world’s most versatile grapes.
BY SUZAN YUM
SELBACH-OSTER BERNKASTELER BADSTUBE RIESLING SPÄTLESE 2007A lovely yellow colour with green highlights, this light-bodied Riesling has lively aromas and flavours of ripe apples, citrus and minerals, with a zesty acidity you feel in your teeth. At only 8% alcohol and a crisp, lingering fin-ish, the bottle will be done before you know it. $29
REICHSGRAF VON KESSELSTATT RIESLING AUSLESE #6 2006Made from grapes grown in the ancient 4.8-hectare Josephshöfer vineyard in the Mosel region, this lush Riesling has opulent aromas of honey, peach and pineapple. Once you tear your nose away from the glass, these flavours caress the palate. Any sweetness is balanced with acidity for an elegant finish. $45
RECOMMENDATIONS:
TRIMBACH RIESLING 20072007 was considered a stellar harvest year in Alsace. This entry level Riesling from the renowned Trimbach is a fine introduction to a classic dry style. Citrus, white peach and minerality on the nose is repeated on the pal-ate. A steely finish makes it a great complement to fish and seafood. $20
Sharp November 2010.indd 34 10-10-08 12:57 PM
I n music circles, Mark
Ronson is known as
the man with the Midas
touch. But after turning Amy
Winehouse and Lily Allen into
pop gold and striking the
mother lode with his 2007
covers album Version, the
Grammy-winning super-
producer is stepping out of
his comfort zone. His new
solo disc, Record Collection,
sees him swap his trademark
soul and brass sound for ’80s
synth hooks, hip-hop swagger
and off-kilter pop melodies,
drawing from his gilded
Rolodex of collaborators (Boy
George, Q-Tip, Ghostface
Killah, etc.) in the process. He
talked to Sharp about making
analogue gems in an era of
Auto-Tuned coal, and why
this might be his shiniest one
yet—even if Amy disagrees.
Did you make a pact with yourself not to put any horns or covers on Record Collection?I think so. I mean, to be
honest, if Version had only
sold a tenth of what it
did then I might be more
comfortable doing some
of those sounds because
I love ’60s soul music and
I love Afrobeat and those
are things that horns are
really a big part of. They’re
interesting textures, but
by the end of Version, the
public reaction was very
much like, “Okay, we get it.
You like indie songs and you
like trumpets.” You know, the
Dap-Kings are such a brilliant
band that I think I started to
just use them as a crutch; if I
was working on a song with
a different artist, I knew that
all I had to do was write up a
chord chart and put it in front
of them and “presto!” my job
is done. So I think that it was
good to have a challenge.
Why the decision to go with a quirky, synth-based sound?I really didn’t know what I
was going to do or what the
record was going to sound
like. Once we finished touring
[in support of Version], I went
into the studio and produced
a few records for other
bands because I needed
that to fill my tank back up
creatively. Then, when I was
producing the new Duran
Duran album, which will be
out soon, working with Nick
Rhodes on the keyboards
especially inspired me. I was
really familiar with that sound
because I love Duran Duran
and grew up on them, but
I never used one of those
keyboards before, especially
not to build an album around
them. I wasn’t trying to make
a retro play…we just wanted
to marry the sound of those
instruments with the way we
play rhythmically.
Is Amy Winehouse a fan of the new record?No. Amy’s a bit of a purist;
she likes what she likes. I
wasn’t really expecting her
to like it. She’s also kind of
brutally frank—that’s the
name of her first album. I
played it for her and…I don’t
know. I only played it for her
very quickly.
Your oeuvre has always been very organic-sounding. What are your thoughts on the increasingly computerized nature of pop music today?Well, there are [electronic-
based acts] like Crystal
Castles and stuff that are
pretty mind-blowing and it’s
definitely computerized, but
there’s a reason that it’s got
those staggered drums and
distorted vocals—it conveys
the emotion of the music.
I think it’s just a problem
when the music becomes
devoid of emotion because
of programs like Auto-Tune
and Melodyne; they can fix
anybody’s vocals and make
anybody sound okay, but
you have it to the point now
where anybody can sing and
the sound of the computer
becomes more identifiable
than the human voice…I
don’t think pop music is in
an exciting place right now.
I don’t know if I’m just being
nostalgic, but I was listening
to Sirius Radio and they’ve
got an ’80s station; I was
thinking, “God, that channel
that plays the hits of 2010 in
25 years, am I really going to
want to listen to it and hear
the pop music that’s in the
iTunes top ten right now?”
And I don’t think so.

OUR PICKS:
GUN CHECK BLAZERBastian updates the classic tweed blazer with modern accents like a
playful striped lining and unmistakable yellow corduroy elbow patches. $798
LAMBSWOOL FAIR ISLE SWEATER
Fair Isle sweaters are fall staples, and this one blends old and new with bright colours, a lacrosse motif and distinctive
elbow patches. $178
LACROSSE BAGA sturdy carry-all featuring the Gant
by Michael Bastian signature lacrosse sticks. Works just as well for a trip to
the gym as the lacrosse field. $298
All that colour is a bold choice for winter. For this collection, which
was inspired by lacrosse,
I was really feeling those
classic varsity colours—
clear orange, faded
burgundy—and that one
crazy green sweater, which
has nothin’ to do with
nothin’, at least colour-
wise.
Yeah, what’s with that sweater? The sweater was supposed
to be grey, navy and red,
but then we open up the
package from China and
it’s pea-green with this
orange lacrosse ball. It just
happened to be the colours
that they had on hand in
the factory. At first, we were
like, what’s that? But then,
we thought, this is amazing!
Not many designers would do that in a men’s collec-tion…This is one of the fallacies
that many people have: that
men are afraid of colour.
I’ve learned that’s not true.
You just have to be careful.
It’s easier to start small, like
with a sweater, because
guys aren’t going to wear
a pink sports-coat. I think
guys really react to shots of
colour here and there on an
emotional level. You need
to hit guys on that level
because maybe they’re
buying less but hunting for
it a little harder. It’s gotta
mean something to them.
What’s the highlight of the collection for you?My favourite pieces are
always those anonymous
things that you might’ve
been looking for and
not finding, like a pair of
chinos that’s really slim
and perfectly fitting, has
real pearl buttons, really
great fabric and it’s the
perfect khaki and there’s
pig-stitching on it; those
things that you could wear
every day and they’re
almost anonymous. There
are certainly flashier, more
signature things in the line,
but it’s those things that
a guy can wear every day
that are closest to my heart.
What’s the appeal of American sportswear?For my own collection, I
wasn’t ready to enter that
luxury world, because it
was how my dad dressed.
The fabric and the make are
great, but the fits are for
an older guy. So what’s in
between? Where does this
guy who might be in his
30s or 40s shop? What’s
he going to wear? He goes
to the gym, he has a good
job, he’s got this education
about how clothes should
fit—there was nobody doing
that stuff at a luxury level.
Was designing this col-lection for someone else as much of a challenge as starting your own line?Doing the Gant thing
weighed heavier on me
than starting my own line.
Looking back now, I’d been
at Bergdorf for five years
and was looking for a new
challenge. I had this crazy
idea that I was going to
bite the bullet and do this
little line of chinos. I called
my parents, and told them
I was quitting Bergdorf’s
and starting my own line.
Silence. Then, my mom
said, “Well, you know
sweetie, if that doesn’t
work out, you can always
move back home.” And
that gave me the courage
to do it. There was no
trepidation to it at all.
What’s in the future for MB and Gant?We’re going forward with at
least six more seasons, and
I think their personalities are
going to come into focus.
Having Gant as an outlet for
sportswear has made the
MB look even more refined
and luxurious.

A barbershop is a sacred place. Every man who’s been to one knows this. Between a barber and his client (friend,
really), there exists an unspoken bond that needn’t go past a handshake, good chats and a cleanup. � e barbershop is where men go to be men. � e game will be on and no one will ask anything of you, not for an hour or two anyway. It’s a simple yet beautiful concept. Mankind Grooming in Toronto understands this. It’s buried among the high-rises that line Richmond Street, in the city’s west-end fashion district, the territory of creative agencies and would-be designers. His name is Noel Naguiat and he still works in advertising. He and his business partner Jason Culala, a hairstylist, don’t look like your typical barbers, and neither does their barbershop. “Today’s man is di� erent,” explains Naguiat. “He still wants to be pampered, but he wants to take better care of himself. Plus, women get to have salons. Why can’t we have something similar?” But what about that respect between friend and barber, and the little things that make it feel like a barbershop? It’s all there. You can tell by the 1953 Takara Belmont chairs on the left, and Brian, a lean fellow who spends all day skimming men’s faces with a straight razor. He’s good at it, too. For sixty-� ve
bucks, Brian seats you in what looks and feels like a reclining throne, wraps your head in hot towels to “loosen up the follicles before I chop ‘em o� ” and smears your face with a glob of Gentlemen’s Re� nery pre-shave oil before taking his � ashing blade to your neck. “I’ll do a custom shave, too, so you can keep your beard just the way you want it.” It’s the kind of therapy modern technology will never top. � en there are not-so-typical-barbershop things, like 22-inch � at-screens playing highlights at every cutting station, a “manctuary,” with a big, black leather sofa, an epic 65-inch LCD screen, a Sony PlayStation 3 and a moose head mounted on the wall. � e services available can � ll a menu. According to Jason, the “Alpha Male” ($45) is a hit. It gets you a haircut (and they’ll swing any style you want), a
hot towel massage and a para� n hand treatment. A manicure takes place at “the bar,” where you sit on a stool, lay your hands on a wood counter and Emma—their cordial certi� ed skin therapist—takes care of the rest. � ere’s even a “Foot Detailing” ($30), if you so desire. � e joint your dad brought you to wouldn’t have things like facials, which Noel also o� ers, or men in skinny jeans getting hot stone treatments, or a cute receptionist to greet you. � en again, times will always change, and so will the way we groom.
MALIN+GOETZ MOISTURIZING SHAMPOOA regular sham-poo won’t cut it for hair that’s dry or damaged. Also, a lot of shampoos strip your scalp of sebum (its nat-ural oil). Go for Malin+Goetz’s Moisturizing Shampoo—a hair cleanser blended with hydrating amino acids and plant extracts that’ll wash your hair and help it to retain its moisture. Use it thrice a week instead of every day, that way you’ll give your sebum a chance to catch up. $31
HEADBLADE HEAD SHED LOTION A pre-shave solution for your head is just as important as the kind for your face. A good quality lotion like this one sloughs off dead skin and preps you for a smooth, pain-less shave. $10
TRUEFITT & HILL ULTIMATE COMFORT REPLENISHING CONDITIONER Another product made here in Canada, True� tt & Hill’s Ultimate Comfort Replenishing Conditioner smells great (like lavender and lime, which will wake you right up every morning) and it’ll leave your locks feeling soft and static-free. Made for all types of hair. $27
SHARPS MISSION: CONTROL GUCK-IN-A-PUCK Work two � ngertips’ worth of this stuff into your towel-dried hair for medium hold. Conve-niently, it’s not so stiff that you can’t re-mould as often as desired. Leaves your hair looking stylishly non-chalant, much like a modern-day James Dean. $16

As the saying goes, Whitney Able cleans up nice. Her upcoming film, Monsters, takes place in a not-so-distant future in which alien invaders with an appetite
for destruction have taken over a chunk of the US/Mexico border, and Able spends most of it running for her life through the filthy post-apocalyptic landscape. It’s an unusual kind of monster movie (for one thing, the dialogue was entirely improvised) and Able is an unusually compelling monster movie ingenue. And while she is certainly the best-looking part of the film, she looks even better without a coating of dust, grime and monster guts (see photos).
What was it like improvising most of Monsters?It was a wonderful exercise for an actor but really scary. Instead of learning lines we did a lot of back story work for two months before we left. It was a luxury because, most of the time, especially in television, you don’t have the opportunity to hold long conversations about what you’re doing.
The prospect of spending months in the Mexican jungle wouldn’t be appealing to some actresses. What was your reaction?I’m down for adventure. I get really excited about schlepping it through the jungle—having an experience. But, you know, it’s sad because a lot of actors would never do that. I think it’s important...because our job is storytelling and we get caught up in the microcosm of Los Angeles and always chasing the dragon trying to get the work, but we’re missing the opportunity to experience things. It was really eye-opening—mind-expanding—to go and work like that because I got rich with experience.
Do you see yourself doing more monster movies or are there more serious roles on the horizon?I would love to do a character piece. It’s hard, you know, they put me in the ingenue category. But I hope that one day I get to play something where I get to research and wear prosthetics. I like extremes. If I’m gonna kick ass, I wanna go through training. If I wanna be this alcoholic, crack-addicted young mother, then I want crazy makeup—just make me ugly. I like going to the extreme and putting the pedal to the metal.
That does sound extreme.I don’t like to be bored. I’m just very hungry for enriching experiences. That’s what’s satisfying for me about my job. Changing. I’m a chameleon.

could be submerged in a lake, shaken dry, and would still keep you as warm as if you stepped out of the house in it. It weighs in at just 614 g and is still toasty at 15˚ below, while its huge underarm zippers and breathable waterproof shell make it perfect for winter sports.

The Crimptastic is a fantastic bit of kit that will very quickly become a fall and winter staple to anyone who owns it. It uniquely marries 800 fill power down panels with thick and durable windstopper fleece sections which are strategically placed at the jacket’s pressure
points. In a traditional down jacket, these are the spots where the down typically compresses, drastically reducing its effectiveness—but not in this one. Instead, it’s lighter, less bulky and more durable than previous designs.
