Sustaining Nantucket | One Sip at a Time

Supporting our community ‘One Sip at a Time’ is the mission of Cheers to Charities, an initiative created by Épernay Wine & Spirits and begun in 2018. The concept was originally designed in that the first Thursday in-store tasting of every month was dedicated to a local non-profit on Nantucket Island in order to raise awareness for that organization and also fun-draise for their charitable cause. This initiative has hence evolved in that you can now support the causes of Cheers to Charities throughout the entire month that the non-profit is being featured, making your impact more significant and long-lasting.  More on that later… For now, we would like to introduce you to our Cheers to Charities benefactor for this month, SUSTAINABLE NANTUCKET.  The mission of Sustainable Nantucket is Cultivating, Educating, and Promoting environmentally responsible choices… making a big difference on a small island.   What better way to showcase their important impact on the island than with sustainable wine pairings!...Read More >

Earth Friendly Wines | Drink As Healthy As You Eat

Movies are always a great distraction from our own reality, no matter what your present-day situation may be.  There are numerous movies where if wine and life revolving around it is not the central theme of the plot, it is part of the script at some point in the film.  Most often, the person drinking the wine is rich, famous, has a large yacht and an even bigger estate – typically both with a wine cellar! Previously, you would have thought of this person as a wine SNOB.  Living life to the extremes has taken a back seat to today’s current situation.  Now there is a whole new meaning in regard to the word SNOB when it comes to wine drinking. With Earth Day just around the corner and it is more important now more than ever to take care of ourselves, our community and the environment, let’s talk about what a wine SNOB is these days. SUSTAINABLE Do you...Read More >

Sommelier Sustainable Wine Selections

Nantucket is home to a plethora of beautiful home gardens and bountiful farm fresh harvests, and summertime is when everything is in full bloom.   Maintaining these fields of plenty takes time, effort, and patience. Keeping it green on our island is more important than ever these days.  We must be stewards of the land and carefully choose how we cultivate it for generations ahead to continue to enjoy all of its beauty and splendor. The same could be said about the life cycle of working on a vineyard, where the grapes are currently growing and tended to in order to mature to just the right ripeness for picking. How a vigneron decides to care for their land not only affect this year’s harvest, but also the health and vitality of the soil for yours to come.  Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers a summertime selection of sustainable wines for you to enjoy this summer that are also considerate to Mother Earth.

Rosé After Labor Day: After Summer Sippers

DRINK PINK FOR THE HOLIDAYS Rosé isn’t just about warm sultry summer days on sunny beaches anymore. Also sometimes referred to as ‘Nantucket Water,’ this refreshing category of wine, as an alternative to red or white, has become part of the glamorous lifestyle associated with life on our magical island. Who says any of this has to end now that we are into fall? Definitely not us on this end! As the sun begins to set a little sooner in the evening and the night air becomes crisp and worthy of your favorite cozy zip sweatshirt, now is the time to start the transition to fall weather drinking rosés that offer a little more substance than your light and easy-drinking summer sipper. Famille Perrin, Ventoux Rosé 2016 The Perrin family has been producing wine in the Southern Rhône Valley for generations. Their winery is located outside the commune of Orange, north of the more well-known city of Avignon in southeastern...Read More >
