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 >

Turkey Treats

Time to get ready to trim your farm raised, free ranged turkey, set an abundant table for your multitude of guests, and make sure to have plenty of wine on hand for the relatives (or to deal with them). Not sure what value wines would be best to get you through this favorites of fall occasions? Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie recommends a handful of wine selections that will grace your Thanksgiving dinner table with laud and praise. Naveran Brut Vintage Cava is a steal of a deal when it comes to sparkling wine.

Xarello adds to the body, Macabea gives it an aromatic intensity, and Parellada lends acidity to the wine. Cava is made in the same production method as Champagne, in which the secondary fermentation that creates the bubbles occurs in the bottle itself. Bodegas Naveran is a premium...Read More >

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. SEASIDE SIPPING Bandol is a small wine region located on the Mediterranean coast, long known for producing some of the most classic, show-stopping rosés from France. (Think if wine was made by the shores of Cisco Beach!)  BASTIDE DE LA CISELETTE BANDOL ROSÉ is...Read More >

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 >
