Stress-Free Wine Selections for Your Easter Meal

Knowing what you are serving for your main course is only part of the battle in pairing a wine with your Easter meal.  Other concerns may be what time of day are you eating, what do you usually like to drink, and how many drinkers are in the house.  While this last part may not be as much of a concern these days with our physical distancing practices, it is always important to take into consideration to ensure you have enough wine on hand to celebrate the holiday accordingly.   You may not need that extra bottle to deal with your lovely mother-in-law this year, however, it might be good practice to have it on hand for whenever the next occasion arises (did someone say virtual wine tasting on Thursday?). #WINEWITHJENNY VIRTUAL TASTING EXPERIENCE THURSDAY, APRIL 9th | 6 PM | FACEBOOK + INSTAGRAM LIVE FEATURING STRESS-FREE WINE SELECTIONS FOR YOUR EASTER MEAL, NO MATTER WHAT’S ON THE MENU While Thanksgiving...Read More >

Summer Sips from Sicily

Being on Nantucket during the month of August has its ups and downs.  While the water temperature is just right and the days of sunshine out number those of any other weather combined, there is a tremendous amount of traffic to navigate on this little island, hard to get dinner reservations for a large group need to be gently cajoled, and your house feels more like a bed and breakfast at times than a quiet, peaceful home. If you had to choose another island to be on during this time of summer, Sicily would be the answer. This largest of the Mediterranean islands has much to offer a summer traveler.  From the history in Palermo to the beaches of Taormina, this island is also home to a plethora of wineries producing quality wines from indigenous grape varieties.  Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers a selection of Sicilian wines that will take your mind away from the hectic antics of summer to the...Read More >

Football & Wine Picks

There are those who live and die by the game of football, and then there are those who enjoy everything else about the game.  Creating new traditions and long-lasting memories by tailgating with friends and family, trying out the latest and greatest of lip-smacking snack food recipes, showing your utmost team spirit by donning your colorful game-day uniform, and ultimately spreading good cheer and being a good sports-person no matter what the outcome of the game. All of this hard work, either by the host providing such an experience or attendees cheering on the game, is sure to draw up a thirst that needs to be quenched.  Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers us a quick list of “First and Ten” wines that will not only be game day crowd-pleasers, but also leave room in your pocket to do it all over again next weekend!

Red, White, & Rosé

RED, WHITE AND ROSÉ: SIPS OF SUMMER WINE SELECTIONS Warmer temperatures, longer beach days and refreshingly chilled wines. Summer is just around the corner, as well as transitioning to easy drinking, every day style wines that are light on the palate and the pocket. Summer entertaining, whether at Cisco Beach or your own backyard bbq, doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. The best value wines for summer sipping are often times not your usual grape varietal suspects, or at least not from typical wine regions that are foremost in your mind. No need to be concerned about making the wrong selection in this category, however, as Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers a quick list of wines worthy of your attention this time of year.   RED, RED WINE (THINK UB40) Keeping with the spirit of this aptly named song, forget about heavy tannic, full-bodied red wines for now. Concentrate on red grape varietals that have a thinner skin and...Read More >
