Sips with Nantucket Bay Scallops

October marks the official start of Nantucket Bay scallop season, yippee! This special delicacy unique to our island is available first to anyone who obtains a recreational shellfish license from the Town of Nantucket before the commercial harvest season begins November 1st.   Not only is it an adventure to put on your waders and spend some time on the water, it is also an experience to shuck all your little gems and easily use them to create a culinary masterpiece. Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers a selection of fabulous, distinctive white wines of distinction to pair with your favorite Nantucket Scallop recipes. COME ON IN, THE WATER IS FINE The Anjou region of the Loire Valley in northwestern France is better known for their red wines than the limited production of their stellar whites. Located in the heart of this region is the estate farmed by Jean-Bernard (4th generation vigneron) and Catherine Chauvin, along with their son Denis. Here they...Read More >

September Sips with Nantucket Neighbors

It has often been said many times before that the island of Nantucket takes a big sigh as soon as the month of September begins. Time to catch up on whatever was left behind to enjoy summer days and also an opportunity to gently transition into what will soon be the holidays before we know it. Nantucket is a very friendly, neighborly island where we love to support each other as we roll into this shoulder season. Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie of Épernay Wine & Spirits offers a selection of Nantucket highlights to enjoy this time of year and the perfect wine pairing for such splendor. BOOKS + BUBBLES Rob Cocuzzo is no stranger to adventure or writing about it. His latest book about to be released, The Road to San Donato, is an adventurous travel memoir of an American father and son tracing their Italian heritage by bicycle. With only their bare essentials, Cocuzzo and his sixty-four year old...Read More >

Literary Feast of Nantucket

The sun is finally brightly shining and you have your favorite beach blanket ready to go in your newly monogramed tote from Blue Beetle.  Your pile of recommended summer reads by local bookworm Tim Ehrenberg and your friends at Nantucket Bookworks is conveniently located tableside for easy access on your way out the door to spend a relaxing afternoon at Surfside Beach. Reading a book takes our mind on an adventure like none we could ever possibly have ourselves.  The words we read are the heart and soul of someone else, most notably the author.  In a sense, we get a taste of what the writer is trying to tell us and if the “meal” is good, we continue to read more.  The same can be said about enjoying a glass of wine and feasting on what the winemaker has prepared for us. In honor of the 8thannual Nantucket Book Festival, Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers the perfect pairing of...Read More >

Seafood, Sips + Sunshine

Summer on Nantucket is more than just going to one of the many beautiful, soft sandy beaches of the island.  It’s actually being on the water and feeling the energy that Mother Ocean has to offer. Whether you are surfing the waves at Cisco Beach, swiftly paddle boarding in the calmer waters of the harbor, or enjoying a personally guided fishing charter off-shore, it is always a pleasure to reap the rewards of your ocean experience with some edible nourishment from the waters and the perfect libation to pair with it. Nantucket is now home to a handful of locally grown oyster farms.  While these farms may be small in size, they are able to grow in distinctively different areas that show the diversity of our water culture’s influence. From Great Harbor Oysters, to RETSYO near the Wauwinet dock, you also have Pocomo Meadow and Fifth Bend in between. These tasty bivalves offer a certain salinity that is best matched with sparkling wine....Read More >
