Sommelier Cinema Sips

Movies can be like fine wine.  Depth, character, and an unexpected ending are all qualities that can be found in both of these creative genres.  What makes each of them unique is the artistic style of the director who has a vision from start to finish of the project.  This is played out by a multitude of influencers involved in the ever-evolving plot.  If all goes well in the initial stages of development, post-production is typically more of a minimalistic, hands-off approach.  The final cut is the culmination of hours, days, and months of hard work, determination, and passion all bottled up into one. The annual Nantucket Film Festival gives us the opportunity to experience movies that we may never have otherwise seen, much less heard about.  Here you have the opportunity to meet and greet with the filmmakers themselves, attend round table discussions to learn more about life behind the scenes, and discover stories that are told through the...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 >

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 >

WHAT TO POP FOR POPS

A SPARLKING GOOD TIME ON NANTUCKET Mid-August is fast approaching and while some people are packing their bags to head back to school, others are reveling in the beautiful summer beach days that make Nantucket what it is. What better way to embrace this feeling than with music, dancing and fireworks at one of Nantucket’s best beaches. ‘Pops on Nantucket’ is an annual fundraiser, and the largest of its kind, to benefit the Nantucket Cottage Hospital. The funds generated during the event stay on Nantucket and help to sustain the hospital’s year-round commitment to the health and wellbeing of the island community. Well, I’ll drink to that! Here is a quick list of sparkling options to help you celebrate and boogie the night away at this frolicking, fun beachside event. ARRIVE WITH LAMBERTI PROSECCO DOC The house of Lamberti is located on the shores of Lake Garda in Northeast Italy’s Veneto region. The winery is named after one of the...Read More >
