O ne day I will find this illustrious book of "unspoken rules" that I've been hearing so much about throughout my life. I'm sure inside will contain essential facts for summer such as not wearing white after Labor Day and making sure to wait at least 30 minutes after eating to swim. As we enter my favorite season of the year, I tend to adjust my own rules with respect to cocktails. I transition from darker liquors to a lighter, more refreshing approach. I don't know about you, but Summer makes me think of rosé wine. In turn, this made us here at VUE think about one of the most followed and award-winning rosé wine brands in the world - which also happens to have a local connection. Jon Bon Jovi and his son Jesse launched Hampton Water and this is the perfect time to share their amazing story. By far, this was one of the most exciting interviews we've ever done being a New Jersey-based magazine. It's not every day you get a chance to sit down with a global icon, who was born and raised in the great garden state. Both Jon and Jesse could not have been any more accommodating with us, and it was such a pleasure to interview them. You can see the full video of our interview on our VUEtube page, and of course, you can read about Hampton Water in just a few pages. Here in our Summer issue, we've put together all the content you need to help you enjoy the staples of the season. We've profiled some of our favorite hotel pools in the world that we discovered in our travels, and we showcase some of the top swimwear we have our eyes on. We take a look at three golf courses that absolutely must be played, and offer the reasons why. To step up our own game, we had custom golf clubs fitted by PXG and we share that experience with you. As travel begins to open up once again, we provide our recommendations for your next trip with our feature on travel essentials. Speaking of essentials, we highlight some of the hotels that we highly recommend for your next visit to New York City. We also take a deeper dive into two of our recent trips, to Savannah, Georgia and to The Palm Beaches in Florida. Even though our recent travels have been within the continental United States, both of these trips felt like we were in another part of the world. This issue is the perfect companion as you sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather that Mother Nature has graced us with. From the entire team at VUE we hope you have an incredible Summer!
