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 >

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 >

Blancs + Boats

Being on the waters of Nantucket can be life changing.  The warmth of the sun on your skin, the smell of the ocean in your system, the feel of the salt water pulsing through your veins.  The same can be said about an epiphany wine drinking experience.  You remember the place where you had that first sip, can visualize who you shared the bottle with, and will never forget the aroma and taste of the wine as you swirled it around in your mouth.  The beauty of boats and wines are both oft celebrated based on their craftsmanship and the elevated experience they can exude.  Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers a selection of sips to pair with your next sailing vessel as you lean into summer on Nantucket. WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY? Winemaker Kelley Fox has been quietly making wine in the Willamette Valley for over two decades. Having honed her skill not through textbooks or working in other regions,...Read More >

Celebrating American Wines

Not only does Labor Day mark the (unofficial) closing of the summer season, more importantly it is a celebration to honor the working people and the contributions that they have made to our country over the years. Our celebrations often include parades, barbeques and most likely beverages in which to toast those who have paved the way for our country at some point in history to be what it is today. With this in mind, we look at a handful of pioneers in the California wine business who are considered icons in the industry based on the contributions they have made to the trade. ROMANCING THE LAND The Chappellet family’s romance with Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley started more than four decades ago.   When Donn and Molly Chappellet first glimpsed the magnificent view of forests and wildflower-filled meadows from this location, they knew this is where they wanted to be. In 1967, they became the first winery to plant vineyards...Read More >
