Cover Story
Grindstone Public House
In the heart of downtown Noblesville, just east of the square with its historic county building and courts, Grindstone Public House offers a delightful dining experience that dishes up modern culinary excellence in a tastefully restored 19thcentury building. Situated on North 10th Street, this charming establishment occupies the Castor Building, a structure that dates back to 1895. Originally home to a supplier of stoves, ranges, and plumbing supplies, the building’s legacy in food preparation came full circle with the arrival of Grindstone in 2018. A major addition to the continuing revitalization of Noblesville’s downtown, the restaurant’s interior features original oak floors and tin ceilings that evoke a sense of nostalgia while providing a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Art at Home: Matting & Framing
Works of art on paper are susceptible to damage from light, pollution, tears from being handled, smudges, as well as dirt and oil from hands. Additional damage may come from the acidic environments they have been placed in. Chemicals in acidic paper and adhesives can cause paper to darken and become brittle. Where the sight edge of the window mat has come in contact with the art, there may be a mat burn presenting as a dark line around the perimeter of the window on the art.

The Art of Wine
Standing in front of a wall of wine bottles can feel like being in a gallery of untold stories. What draws you in? Is it the familiar allure of a varietal or the intrigue of a region you’ve always wanted to taste? Maybe it’s the label that speaks the loudest—a silent narrator of the experience waiting inside. At Daniel’s Vineyard, we believe every bottle should tell a story, and that starts long before the cork is popped.

This is actually a column I hadn’t planned on writing, but sometimes, a serendipitous experience turns out so well, you just want to share it. On impulse last November, I arranged a getaway for my wife and me to celebrate our anniversary. I booked one of our favorite spots. The Escalante in Naples (FL), owned by our dear friend Mary Brandt, and comprised of 11 posh, secluded bungalows situated around a courtyard pool in which two large inflatable swans rule the roost (without the hissing). The goal, to escape winter’s cold, unwind and spend time together: nothing out of the ordinary, but after one amazing dinner, I knew I’d want to share something with you.
