| To fully appreciate a wine is to be intimately familiar with its geographical origins and vinicultural heritage. Wines from France's Roussillon region certainly exemplify this truism. Vineyards are surrounded by three mountain ranges yielding wide topographical variety and soils — the Corbieres to the North, the Pyrenees with Mont Canigou to the West, the Alberes to the South, and to the East ocean and mountains meet below on the Pyrénées-Orientales (widely referred to as an amphitheater to the Mediterranean's cooling breezes). |

| Modern luxury yachts are nice, but sometimes you want something a little more vintage — and that's where SS Delphine comes in. As a remnant of a history past, this steam-powered super yacht is on the market for $49,571,000 and is considered to be the last of its kind still floating, offering up an entirely unique cruising experience. Built in 1921 for Horace Dodge (yes, that Dodge), SS Delphine is officially registered as a passenger ship, able to carry up to 36 passengers and host up to 150 guests with 24 crewmembers. |

| When push comes to shove, many upscale car buyers just wouldn't consider buying American. They can hardly be blamed, as the Lincolns and Cadillacs of a few years ago just weren't up to the same standards as those luxury automobiles coming from Germany or Japan. |

| It's Earth Day and that means that people who usually don't care about Mother Earth will suddenly be wearing green tops and expounding environmental facts they learned two hours prior. Sure, there are a ton of people who care all year round, but many will be partaking in a passing interest, especially since there tends to be a stigma around environmentally conscious products. |

| If you are a vintage car and bike enthusiast — or just a reality television junkie — you probably know who Danny "The Count" Koker is. As the proprietor of Count's Kustoms, a Las Vegas-based repair and restoration shop (specifically for cars and motorcycles), Koker has become a household name with the help of reality TV. After continually appearing on History Channel's "Pawn Stars" as their motorcycle and auto expert, Koker was given his own show called "Counting Cars" (Season Two started April 9) in which he and his team obsessively go after classic and vintage cars on the glitzy streets of Vegas, sometimes even flagging strangers down to barter a sale. |

So without further ado, we present Adam Harvey's Stealth Wear collection. Specializing in wearable technology, Harvey designed Stealth Wear as a response to the question of privacy in the face of authoritarian surveillance, an issue that has flared up with the use of militant drones. |

| There used to be a limit to how much you could spend on a sport-utility vehicle, with the Range Rover holding the high ground pretty much all on its own. However, with the top luxury sedans now selling for six figures and exotic supercars for seven, the elite class of SUV's is following suit. Porsche already makes an SUV and soon so will Lamborghini, Bentley and Maserati, with Aston Martin, Spyker and even Rolls-Royce considering getting in on the action. But this auto...this is the new king of the hill. |

| Controversial photographer Tyler Shields is known for photographing celebrities in a way that exposes the darkness of Hollywood (from overexposure to depression and addiction), using anything from raw meat to blood to get his point across. He's been around long enough now that his work is no longer new, per se, but it still makes an impact and legions of fans constantly await his newest shots. Wait no longer because Shields is back with Suspense, his newest series which will debut at the Guy Hepner Gallery on April 28 in Los Angeles. |

| With an abundance of flashy casinos, luxury yachts, and exciting events (including the Formula One Grand Prix, the Monte-Carlo Arts Festival, and the Rolex Tennis Master), Monaco has been a top tourist attraction for years. Many of the world's wealthiest call this destination home...or at least vacation home. As a magnet for property tycoons, it's no surprise that Monaco could very soon be the home of the world's priciest property per square meter, which comes in the form of a multi-story penthouse in the Tour Odeon, ready to hit the market next year. |

| Few rivalries are as hotly contested as that of Ferrari and McLaren. The two most accomplished racing teams in the history of Formula One regularly duke it out on the grand prix circuit. No other team comes close to the dozens of championships these two brands have traded over the decades, and maybe none ever will. When McLaren came out with its first street-legal sportscars in 1992, appropriately enough called the McLaren F1, their rivalry spilled out off the racetrack and onto the street; territory Ferrari had long claimed for itself. |

| Acura may not be a brand that you immediately associate with luxury but they're trying pretty hard to change your way of thinking with their 2014 RLX sedan, which they're tagging as an "affordable luxury" option. As possibly their most lavish offering yet, (yes, even more so than their sporty models) the RLX beefs up everything from the interior space to the all-wheel steering system. |

This car, however, doesn't cost a million...it doesn't cost two million. No, the price tag on this particular piece of extreme automotive engineering is set at a massive $4 million. |
