Enhancing Life | One Sip At A Time!

As we travel on this road called life, we would like to introduce you to our Cheers to Charities benefactor for the month of June, Palliative & Supportive Care on Nantucket (PASCON).  The mission of PASCON is a specialized health care program dedicated to providing excellent physical, psychological, social, and spiritual care for persons with life-threatening illness and their families. The PASCON Foundation is dedicated to funding all of PASCON’s programs and services so that they may be provided free to the community without insurance reimbursement and to educating the community and raising awareness about palliative and supportive care issues. Their motto of “Compassion, Support, Respect” is something that can be evidenced beyond just the staff, volunteers, and patients involved with their programs.  This can also be seen in the passion found in winemaking. The diversity of wines, from different regions and grape varieties, is what makes them all so special and unique.  Each wine has its own story and...Read More >

Nantucket Wine Fest Revisited | #NWF2020

Having attended over 10+ years of Nantucket Wine Fest, we can tell you that whatever the weather forecast is for the weekend, THE PARTY CONTINUES, as it should do so now in our current situation! Let’s keep the #NWF2020 spirit alive this weekend, whether you are currently on island or celebrating with us somewhere else! Below is a selection of some of our wine friends that we will be missing this weekend, however cheers-ing them (and you) from afar. BRITISH FIZZ With a store name like Épernay, why on Earth would we ever talk about England Sparkling Wine?  Let’s think about the soil for starters, White Cliffs of Dover and the chalky soil of Champagne.  Winemakers use the grape varieties in both regions.  Lastly, they both have marginal climates where every year is not guaranteed to be a great vintage, hence being able to blend vintages together is helpful to keep the business in just that, business.

Pint Size Picnic Selections | Single Servings Made Easy

Let’s be honest, social drinking these days is not the same as it used to be. You are either looking at your friends through a computer screen and acting like you are drinking together, trying not to drink the entire bottle of wine by yourself that you opened on what was previously considered a ‘school night,’ or yelling (cheers-ing?) at your neighbors across the yard while seated in your own lawn chair. Okay, maybe that last example is still the same as before, but you get the idea here. Postponed picnics and cancelled parades won’t stop us from celebrating #ACKDaffy here on Nantucket.   Luckily for you, there are a “handful” (no pun intended) of smaller sized selections for your drinking pleasure during these particular times. PORTABLE You don’t have to be a surfing legend in order to enjoy the waves of Nantucket.  Nor do you need to fight the crowds at the local brewery (once they reopen later this summer…)...Read More >

The First Thursday Giving events at Épernay Wine & Spirits were designed to do just that, and more with the help of our powerful supporters.  Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie highlights a quick summary of our Cheers to Charities events for 2019 and the impact these organizations make on Nantucket.
