Endless Summer Shades of Rosé

You drink white wine year round, Sancerre in the summer and White Burgundy in the winter. Some people drink red wine all the time as well, Pinot Noir when it is warm outside and a hearty Cabernet Sauvignon when it is not. Why then do so many people think they have to give up Rosé after Labor Day? Refuse to stop drinking pink if that is what you really want! Not only is it 5 o’clock somewhere, it is also rosé season wherever you may be. Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie gives us some direction in transitioning from your favorite summer pinks to heartier styles in this end of summer “Don’t You Forget About Me” rosé recap.

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.
