Cheers to Charities: 2018 in Review

Ever feel like you miss out on the hippest charity events of the summer season because you are so busy working? Want to know a quick + easy way to give back to the community of Nantucket without adding another committee meeting to your list? Donating to the causes you care about shouldn’t be hard or stressful.  Whether donating time, money or knowledge, the process should be engaging and exhilarating.  This not only benefits the charities themselves, but it can also be deeply rewarding for you too!  This is the concept behind our Cheers to Charities program that we initiated in 2018.  We host a wine tasting, you make purchases of anything and anytime during the two-hour event, we donate 10% of sales (not just profits) to our host charity of choice for the month.  Simple, sustainable and savvy! Want to learn more about the exciting First Thursday Giving events that were hosted by Épernay Wine & Spirits in 2018? ...Read More >

Grower Champagnes: Who is Your Champagne Farmer?

The holiday season is here (hooray!) and that means a plethora of social gatherings, along with the obligatory gift giving. The challenge of this time of year is how to make holiday parties a little more festive (read: exciting and actually fun) and your presents unique (read: unforgettable).   No need to stress about any of this as adding a bottle of sparkling wine to the equation is always an excellent idea. However, let’s kick it up a notch from there. You buy your eggs from Boat Yard Farm, you get your carrots from Moors End Farm and you pick your own tomatoes at Bartlett Farm. Why not purchase, partake and give a little “Farmer Fizz” to showcase some quality producer grown and made Champagne along with supporting your local Champagne farmer? Known more commonly as Grower Champagne, these festive bottles of bubbly originate from the Champagne region of France as the name implies. What makes them stand out from mass...Read More >

Cheese, Glorious Cheese!

CHEESE, GLORIOUS CHEESE! Gathering around the large dining room table of your family home on Nantucket, the sharing of good food and perfectly paired wine will be sure to create long-lasting memories of your time spend here on island. Like wine, cheese should be nurtured and matured under proper conditions in order for it to be at its best. Controlling the natural ripeness of cheese under proper conditions, such as airflow and humidity, to achieve complete fermented bliss is called “affinage.” While you may have your favorite go-to cheese, your cheese can be matched to your special occasion. A simple, easy cheese plate for afternoon entertaining, a pre-game gathering before hitting the town or perhaps a late night snack after dancing the night away at the Chicken Box, see this tasty list of suggestions that would be a perfect pairing for your next beach day and beyond! BEWARE OF CHEESE IMPOSTERS The most famous goat cheese of the many varieties produced...Read More >
