There’s nothing like it anywhere else in the world; a place where state-of-the-art technology and expertise to analyze and improve a golfer’s game are surrounded by the luxury amenities of a world-class resort.

TPG takes a c o m p r e h e n s i v e lifestyle approach to enhancing a player ’s overall game by merging the finest luxury a m e n i t i e s t h e Biltmore has to offer with state-of-the-art technology and resources formerly reserved for the world’s top players and pros. Much of the Total Performance Golf experience was created exclusively for PGA and LPGA p l a y e r s . T h e Biltmore has simply made the results-based system available to anyone who aims to play at their peak level of performance.

The program fuses the work of Dr. Greg Rose, co-founder of the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI), the mastery of the highly trained TPI experts (the leaders in elite player development), and the unparalleled amenities of the Biltmore, to create a life-enhancing experience that will literally transform players into athletes. There’s an array of programs and packages to choose from, which include a comprehensive series of evaluations; 3-D swing analysis, physical therapy, personalized fitness regime, nutrition, sports massage and much, much more.

The Biltmore’s Total Performance Golf program relies on the expertise of its TPI certified team; Biomechanist/Golf Professional Justin Bruton, Physical Therapist Lisa Kearns, Fitness Trainers Theresa McQueen, Jorge Cajina, and Lisa Wagner. Each

specialist plays a specific role not only in the evaluation process, but also in the long term wellness of each student. The shared vision of each team member is to identify the factors which allow

a player to reach his or her full potential.

After assessing the “total picture” of a golfer’s body, swing, and equipment, a Biltmore TPG Coach will design a complete game approach based on the student’s unique physical strengths and weaknesses.

At Biltmore Total Performance Golf, the Biltmore uses state-of-the-art technology to determine the efficiency of the golfer’s swing, and then makes corrective changes to the individual based on that information. No one has ever been able to measure efficiency of the golf swing—only how it looks or its style—until now. And never before have golfers had the opportunity to improve their game in such a measurable and thoroughly enjoyable way.

Nicolas Joly, 2005

Renown winemaker Nicolas Joly, the world’s leading proponent of biodynamic viticulture, is also the author of several books on the subject, including Wine from Sky to Earth and Biodynamic Wine Demystified.

This Chenin Blanc-based Savennières from the Loire Valley shows an exotic nose with intriguing aromas of lemon and peach. On the palate, depth and full body are matched by bone-dry acidity and superb minerality with notes of honey, peaches, and wildflowers, ending with a long, slow finish.

Pairs well with seafood, charcuterie, and goat cheeses. It is also the ideal partner for asparagus and artichokes, food items which are often difficult to match with wine.

Pinot Noir Jus1 Small Onion1 Celery Stalk6 Garlic Cloves1 Tbsp Olive Oil2 Small Tomatoes1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar2 Tbsp Port Wine1 Bottle Pinot Noir1 Bouquet garni3/4 cup Demi-Glace1 Tbsp Soft Butter, unmelted

Potato Confit: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper & brush generously with clarified butter. Arrange potato slices on paper, overlapping them like shingles. Brush potatoes with clarified butter, then sprinkle with herbs,salt & pepper. Place another sheet of parchment on top of potatoes, then place another pan on top to weigh it down. Bake at 300º F for about 40 minutes or until fork-tender. Remove from oven & let cool, then refrigerate overnight.

Wild Mushrooms: Sauté mushrooms & shallots in butter for 10 minutes. Transfer to a food processor & pulse until finely chopped (but not puréed). Return mixture to pan & continue to heat until all liquid has evaporated. Add cream & herbs, season and cook until cream thickens. Remove & set aside.

Pinot Noir Jus: Sweat the onions, celery & garlic in olive oil over low heat until softened. Add tomatoes, vinegar & port, & reduce by half. Add wine & bouquet garni & reduce until almost completely dry. Add demi-glace & reduce slowly to about 1/2 cup. Strain, then whisk in butter & set aside.

Take potato confit out of refrigerator & cut into 2” circles (3 circles per person). Make the Napoleon by spreading an even amount of mushroom mix over 2 circles, then stack them and top with a final circle. Heat the Napoleons in a preheated 350º F oven for about five minutes. To serve, place each Napoleon in the center of plate & ladle sauce around plate. Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of herb oil.

Jorge Pupo is the Regional Manager, Corporate Real Estate Caribbean and Latin America, for American Airlines.

Elvira Pupo, employed for 35 years by Miami-Dade County Public Schools, is the retired Principal of Pinecrest Elementary School and, along with her husband, an avid collector of Cuban Art.

How has the Cellar Club enhanced your personal and professional life?

Elvira: We have made great friends at the Cellar Club who share common interests. For me it is very personal.

Jorge: Since American Airlines is associated with the Biltmore, we have many functions at the Cellar Club and conduct a lot of busines, as well.

You are both prominent art collectors. How would you describe your art collection?

Elvira: We share a passion for Cuban Art; it all started with the nostalgia of capturing our beautiful heritage.

Jorge: We always collect together. Most of our collection is from a period called “La Vanguardia” and also includes contemporary art. We have a prominent collection of numerous pieces that are documented in art books and have been part of various traveling exhibitions, on loan to US and European museums and art galleries. Our pieces are shown at Marquette University, Miami Art Museum, Dali Museum in Sarasota and other locations.

In addition to collecting art, you are also wine collectors. What types of wines can be found in your cellar?

Elvira: Our wine cellar holds a collection of about 2,000 bottles: 70% Californian, 30% French, and the rest a mix of different wines. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is one of our favorites. We also enjoy Champagne and host many tastings in our home with our friends. We travel frequently to Napa, and every February we attend the new release of Silver Oak Cellars.

What would you say is your one true shared passion?

We love FOOTBALL!!! We follow the University of Florida (Gators). We attend every single game, and of course we have season tickets...

M e M B e r s & a F i C i O N a d O s

Jorge & e lv i ra PupoCellar Club Members Since1995

Jorge & Elvira Pupo

Please tell us about the various charitable and community organizations you support.

We are both very active with St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House and Frost Art Museum, to mention a few.

What has been the most memorable experience (so far!) you have had at the Biltmore?

We love the Black-Tie Gala Dinners and Palme D’or is special for us: we enjoy the personal attention we get from Philippe Ruiz and Sébastien Verrier each time we dine there.
