Holding Out For A Hero

Who (or what) is your HERO? Bonnie Tyler sings about this in the lyrics of her famous song.  I need a hero…  I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night The dictionary defines a hero as a “person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.”  This could go one step further in describing a hero as someone “who, in the face of danger, combats adversity through feats of ingenuity, courage, or strength.” Nantucket, and the world beyond, has definitely seen its share of heroes in most recent weeks.  Let us not forget about our island heroes from the past with the coming of Memorial Day weekend, where we honor and mourn military personnel who have perished while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The wars we have fought as a united nation have all had some sort of influence on the wine world as well.  Discover more about this in...Read More >

Sustaining Nantucket | One Sip at a Time

Supporting our community ‘One Sip at a Time’ is the mission of Cheers to Charities, an initiative created by Épernay Wine & Spirits and begun in 2018. The concept was originally designed in that the first Thursday in-store tasting of every month was dedicated to a local non-profit on Nantucket Island in order to raise awareness for that organization and also fun-draise for their charitable cause. This initiative has hence evolved in that you can now support the causes of Cheers to Charities throughout the entire month that the non-profit is being featured, making your impact more significant and long-lasting.  More on that later… For now, we would like to introduce you to our Cheers to Charities benefactor for this month, SUSTAINABLE NANTUCKET.  The mission of Sustainable Nantucket is Cultivating, Educating, and Promoting environmentally responsible choices… making a big difference on a small island.   What better way to showcase their important impact on the island than with sustainable wine pairings!...Read More >

Red, White & Booze

While Labor Day weekend may mark the end of summer for some, it is the beginning of a new drinking season for others.  Gone are the days of crisp, mineral driven wines that have your mouth sweating like a hot afternoon at the Nobadeer Beach.  Lighter style reds take a back seat to ones that have more depth and complexity like a Whalers football game.  Even rosé drinkers rejoice as they continue to discover the sea of well-made pink options as we fade into an Indian Summer. Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers a selection of home-grown, patriotic picks to celebrate with this weekend, including an unique spirit to toast into September. ROCKETS RED FLARE Labor Day is an annual American tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.  Cliff Lede has taken this one step further in his creation of FEL Wines. The letters in FEL represent Florence Elsie Lede, founder Cliff Lede’s...Read More >
