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.

Sommelier Sustainable Wine Selections

Nantucket is home to a plethora of beautiful home gardens and bountiful farm fresh harvests, and summertime is when everything is in full bloom.   Maintaining these fields of plenty takes time, effort, and patience. Keeping it green on our island is more important than ever these days.  We must be stewards of the land and carefully choose how we cultivate it for generations ahead to continue to enjoy all of its beauty and splendor. The same could be said about the life cycle of working on a vineyard, where the grapes are currently growing and tended to in order to mature to just the right ripeness for picking. How a vigneron decides to care for their land not only affect this year’s harvest, but also the health and vitality of the soil for yours to come.  Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers a summertime selection of sustainable wines for you to enjoy this summer that are also considerate to Mother Earth.

Nantucket Pink Wine Mixer

Tired of drinking the same old blush plonk that you don’t even like anyway? Feel lost and overwhelmed in the rosé aisle these days? Not sure how to get the biggest bang for your buck amongst the current sea of pink wine? With summer season soon approaching, and your Nantucket social calendar quickly filling for the next few months, now is the time to brush up on your rosé wine tasting skills and discover a few new favorites to pair with your summertime activities. While most pink wines that hail from the traditional rosé region of Côtes de Provence in France are a blend of grapes that grow exceptionally well in this warm, southern region, rosé wine these days is made from almost any red grape variety (sometimes with a splash of white added as well) and an array of regions.  Pinot Noir, a thin-skinned, low-tannin grape, produces a soft, lovely rosé and offers different characteristics in the wine based...Read More >
