Üllo is a revolutionary wine purifier that filters sulfites with Selective Sulfite Capture technology to restore wine to its natural taste -as if you opened the bottle right at the vineyard. It is estimated that 3 million Americans may be sensitive to sulfites. When founder James Kornacki learned his aunt was sensitive to these chemicals, he made it his mission to solve this problem and launched Üllo.
Sulfites are artificial preservatives that are added to all wines to prevent oxidation and bacterial spoilage, but once the bottle is opened they are no longer needed. Some people even claim that removing sulfites helps to prevent a headache the next day.
Üllo is a first of its kind for wine and a revolution for wine drinkers seeking a healthier way to enjoy their favorite bottle.
In addition to removing sulfites, Üllo includes an adjustable wine aerator and comes with 4 replacement filters, a travel bag, and a display base to capture stray drips. It is made from BPA-free materials and fits on top of any wine glass, or integrates into Üllo’s custom, hand blown glassware. Retail price is $79.99 with disposable filters sold in 6-packs $19.99, 10-packs, $29.99 and 15-packs for $39.99. Üllo WITH: decanter $149.99, carafe (129.99) and Florence ($129.99) www.ullowine.com

Cook your way to dad’s heart this Father’s Day!
Father’s Day gifts needn’t be extravagant or store-bought. Showing your love can be as easy as sharing a meal and quality time with Dad. Try out this delicious steak with a side of creamy mushroom-and-green-peppercorn sauce, paired with the 2012 Frans K Smit Red Blend from Spier. This simple yet special meal is sure to make Dad’s day!
Pan-fried steak with creamy mushroom-and-green-peppercorn sauce
with Spier Frans K Smit Red Blend 2012
For an occasion like Father’s Day, sometimes the best gift is a well-cooked meal! Treat Dad (and the rest of the family) to a well-aged, pasture-reared steak. Be sure to make plenty of sauce, though, as you’re bound to be licking the pan afterwards!
(Serves four. Prep and cooking time: 30min.)
For the sauce:
• 60ml butter
• 15ml olive oil
• 400g brown/portabellini mushrooms (sliced)
• 30ml green peppercorns (You should find these in the pickles section of your supermarket.)
• 250ml fresh cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
For the steak:
• 200-300g flat iron steak per person
• 30ml olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
Make the sauce first. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large wide pan. Fry the mushrooms over high heat until brown, then add peppercorns. Fry for 1min. Add the cream and let it bubble and reduce for about 3-5 minutes. Don’t let it reduce completely. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and set to one side, covered, until your steak is ready.
Heat a pan or griddle until it is smoking hot. While you’re waiting, brush the steaks on both sides with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. For a medium-rare steak, place the steak in the hot pan and fry for 3.5 minutes on each side. Remove and let it rest on a plate for 3 minutes. Serve hot, topped with the sauce, with or without salad and other sides.
Serve with a glass of 2012 Spier Frans K Smit Red Blend.
About the wine
A monster of a wine from the tiniest vintage cellar master Frans Smit has ever worked with. This 5-year-old gave him just 6500 bottles and has the makings of a long-distance runner ̶ with soft, rounded tannins. This is only his 2nd Merlot-based vintage since 2004. When a Merlot yield is good, it’s king; Frans’ personal default choice. He always pushes for Merlot when the vintage is good. 2012 was brilliant for Merlot, which sings through the layers of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

Fathers are very precious so why not give him a Fathers’ day gift that will not only delight him but keep him safe?
How about a 6ft Henchman Ladder as a different but extremely useful Father’s Day gift?
These UK designed ladders are the Rolls Royce of ladders but not only that, their three legged design make them far safer than step ladders and the safest ladder available.
I was surprised to see how many men visited the Henchman stand at Chelsea just to look at the ladders and wish they had one! I saw an equal number of chaps who came on just to say they owned one and how great they were.
I attach a pic of a ladder in use and also a studio product shot and paste details below. The price for a Henchman 6ft ladder with three adjustable legs is £275 including VAT and free next day UK delivery.
Henchman Platform Tripod Ladders work on the ‘milking stool principle’ – with three legs, they are impossible to wobble and extremely difficult to topple. This makes them a safer alternative to traditional ladders or stepladders, and ideal for indoor and outdoor jobs
Henchman ladders remain level and stable even on sloping ground, because their legs are individually adjustable. Their clawed feet prevent slipping and sinking on soft ground. The 18cm (7in) wide platform rung allows you to work in greater comfort and safety, tucking into the ladder. The combination of a wide platform and adjustable legs is unique to the Henchman. There is also a top rail for one-handed support whilst working, or which you can lean against when using both hands.
Henchman Platform Tripod Ladders are available in sizes ranging from 6ft to 16ft (180 to 490cm). For more information go to www.henchman.co.uk

Ketel One Family-Made Vodka’s Arnold Palmer Collector’s Edition bottle is a perfect fit for Father’s Day
The Nolet family, a distilling dynasty since 1691 and makers of Ketel One Family-Made Vodka, has maintained the highest standards in crafting the world’s finest spirits (gin, jenever, vodka). Building upon the legacy of their rich heritage and distillation expertise of over 327 years and 11 generations, Ketel One honors the legacy of Mr. Arnold Palmer with the Arnold Palmer Collector’s Edition bottle (750ml $24.99, 1L $31.99) — a collaboration between the two families.
As the story goes, the famed golfer, aka “The King,” would cap a round of golf with a Ketel One on the rocks and slice of lemon – otherwise known as the “19th hole” – telling members of the Nolet family that it gave him time to reflect on life, family and friends. Rooted in Mr. Palmer’s winning tradition and honoring his unparalleled legacy, the Nolet family created the limited edition bottle as a “Thank You” to Arnie for the impact he had on the world and the game many love so much.
This Father’s Day, Sunday, June 17th, raise a glass of the famed Ketel One Family-Made Vodka on the rocks with a twist, from one legend to another. Mr. Palmer’s unwavering commitment to uphold the values of authenticity, integrity and generosity will live on for generations, as will the Nolet family’s commitment to producing the world’s finest spirits using 100% non-GMO grain.
Arnold Palmer Collector’s Edition bottle with Arnie’s signature and a quote “Dear Mr. Palmer, this one’s for you”.

This nostalgic American highway Route 66 illustration tells a story of a bearded older farmer and his dog on the way to deliver a load of bushels of corn. The farm logo is proudly displayed on the door of the truck.
The dog is barking at a cat standing next to the truck ignoring him. There is another cat who is naturally on the roof of the gas station building. Aren’t they always on the roof?
In those days neatly uniformed attendants checked the tires and oil while they filled your gas tank. There is a water bucket and rag for cleaning the windows. Drivers were given the full treatment in hopes of a small dime tip.
Waiting it’s turn for service parked on the far side of the gas tanks is a classy vintage convertible sports car. The driver must be inside the station building as signs indicate refreshments are available as well as from a soda pop machine outside. The soda pop is 10 cents and the gas 19 cents. Can you guess the year?
There is a booted cowboy sitting on the porch taking in the scene. A couple of ducks casually stroll by in the foreground.
The station is located in a cactus desert. Mesa are the flat topped hills seen in the background. To the side of the station is a windmill used for a power source, as well as an air pump for filling tires. There is a wall clock and thermometer on the porch.
A neat flower box is under the window in an attempt to beautify the old battered building. The ground is cracked and dry befitting a desert.
The old highway Route 66 is an essential part of the American way of life as it used to be before superhighways.

Stupid Humans, is a comical science fiction novel that asks the question, “What if all the intelligent humans abandoned Earth—and we’re what’s left?”
What if all the intelligent humans abandoned Earth… and we’re what’s left? Samantha is a journalist who travels through the wormhole to New Atlantis and discovers that embarrassing reality when she meets the People, humanity’s more intelligent—and smugly superior—distant relatives. Unfortunately, thanks to humanity’s penchant for fighting, a Human/People conflict is brewing. She could almost forget she’s not on Earth, except the People have tails and don’t slap idiot warning labels on everything.
Plagued by anti-Human sentiment on New Atlantis and unwilling to return to Earth, Samantha moves to the Five Alpha, the space station closest to the wormhole, where Human—and People—stupidity lurks around every corner. Then the conflict worsens, causing concern for the security of the wormhole—and its closest neighbor. Naturally, politicians from both sides decide they can provide a diplomatic solution by holding peace talks on the station.
When sabotage puts both Five Alpha and her only route back to Earth in jeopardy, everyone blames Samantha—including a manipulative politician with her own agenda—forcing her to fight to uncover who is plotting to destroy the wormhole and cut off Human/People relations for good. Can she find a way to save the wormhole—and her sanity—before it’s too late?

Shouldn’t every dad have a watch just as unique as he is?
Vortic Watch Company recovers and refurbishes antique American-made pocket watches—some more than 100 years old!— to create bespoke wristwatches that are unique, functional and elegant. Every watch is hand-crafted in Colorado and has a unique story. Each watch is housed in a custom 3D printed casing and includes the same glass used in Apple Watches—a blending of old world and new world technology.
Vortic is offering a special Father’s Day deal on its American Artisan Series. We especially love the top-selling Chicago and Boston series. These custom-made watches retail for as little as $995, and Vortic is offering 12-month, 0% financing and a free accessory for any watch using the code “Summer2018”. Orders placed by June 14 will ship in time for Dad to receive by Father’s Day..
Terraillon has received two new awards for its smart sleep solution, HOMNI
Terraillon, the French reference in health and wellness products has been awarded two international distinctions for the design and innovation of its flagship sleep product, HOMNI. The Good Design Awards 2017 and IF Design Award 2018 are thus added to the Grand Prix of Innovation at the Foire de Paris and the LSA Innovation Trophy, previously received in 2017.
Good Design Awards 2017
Last December, Terraillon won the Good Design Award in the Electronics category. This award was created in 1950 and is organized by the Chicago Athenaeum – Museum of Architecture and Design, in collaboration with the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies. It is one of the world’s most prestigious design awards.
The international jury, composed of architects, designers and artistic directors has recognized HOMNI’s design and innovative character. In addition to product aesthetics, the Good Design Award also recognizes Terraillon’s user experience and ability to develop new consumer habits.
IF Design Award 2018
Homni also takes its place on the podium for an iF Design Award 2018 in the Product category. The jury of the iF International Forum Design GmbH in Hanover, consisting of 63 experts from all over the world, was also impressed by Homni’s concept.
HOMNI in a nutshell
At a time when our lives are increasingly fast-paced, stressful and demanding, getting a good night’s sleep is key to a balanced life, whether at home or at work. Sleeping well is as important for the body as it is for the mind; it is a key element in promoting the body’s ability to recover. Likewise, the bedroom environment is a significant factor for quality sleep.
Homni is part of a connected ecosystem capable of analysing your nights in detail: duration, sleep cycles and body movements. While the user sleeps, Homni also analyses the temperature, brightness, sound level and humidity of the bedroom. All data is then visible on the Wellness Coach – Sleep application to analyse your night and sleep.
Product available from May 2018
HOMNI + its “Dot” sensor £199 (RRP)
“Reston” sensor £169 (RRP)

WORK SMARTER AT HOME WITH WISER
Working from home is becoming more and more popular, but with it comes the worry of how much money and energy is being spent heating the whole house, when you’re only using one room.
Help is at hand with Wiser – a smart multi-room heating system, which gives you control and visibility of the temperature in every room of your home, all via a handy smartphone app.
Designed by trusted British heating experts Drayton, Wiser allows you to create up to 16 individual heating zones, so you can set different room temperatures throughout your home. This means, for example, that you can fix the temperature in your home office during the day to a cosy 21°C and lower the temperature in other empty rooms to save energy.
Room temperatures are easy to view and adjust throughout the day and night, using the Wiser app, which is available on Android and iOS devices, and smart virtual assistants, including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. If a room feels a little chilly or the sunshine is streaming in and you feel too warm, you can adjust the temperature instantly without having to move from your desk and interrupt your productivity.
Wiser can also be integrated with IFTTT (If This Then That) for features like geofencing, so your heating will turn off if you are called out for a quick meeting, and then on again when you return home.
The Wiser system is made up of a central room thermostat, heat hub and intelligent Red Dot award-winning radiator thermostats, which control the temperature in individual rooms. Simple to install for a DIY-er or a professional heating engineer, Wiser works alongside your existing heating system with no need to alter pipework or valves, making it easy to fit as a standalone project, during your annual boiler service or as part of wider home renovations.
By controlling which rooms are heated and to what temperature, you can help reduce your energy bills; a smart multi-zone system such as Wiser is estimated to save 20% over a smart thermostat system alone. Further savings can be achieved by using Wiser’s Eco Mode, which learns and adapts to how long your home takes to react to temperature changes and the effect of outside weather.
Affordably priced, Wiser is a buildable system, which means you can easily add radiator thermostats to more rooms over time, as your home, budget or family grows.
Wiser is suitable for use with combi and conventional heating systems, with kits available to control heating only or heating and hot water. Recommended retail prices for Wiser start from £139.99 for a Thermostat Kit 1 (room thermostat, heat hub and app) and £219.99 for a Multi-zone Kit 1 (room thermostat, heat hub, app and two radiator thermostats). Individual Wiser radiator thermostats retail at £44.99. All prices are inclusive of VAT.
