Making Mom Happy | Mother’s Day Gift Guide

If Momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy. Sadly, I lost my mother many years ago, much too young due to an accident. However, I still to this day try to do what would make her happy.  Inviting my mother-in-law to visit Nantucket next month, bringing an unexpected coffee from Roast’d to my neighbor and friend next door to the wine store, taking a dear friend’s dog for a walk in the Nantucket State Forest when she is unable to do so— all are just some of the things I have done. These people are all moms in my life, even if they have no blood relation to me, and, like me, they are moms to four-legged furry creature that love them more than their own kith and kin sometimes. How do we celebrate these people in our lives on Mother’s Day, and keep our status as the favorite “child?” Personally, I want bubbles. Nothing says, “celebrate Mom” more than a...Read More >

Spooky Spirits

You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy Halloween, even on Nantucket. With all the haunted houses and old buildings on the island, there are sure to be more spirits around than you could even possibly imagine. To keep your mind off ghosts (and perhaps goblins), Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie suggests a selection of ‘spooky spirits’ to sample that won’t scare your taste buds, or your wallet! If you have ever been to a fine dining restaurant in Italy, you may have been offered a glass of Grappa at the end of the meal.

The pomace is whatever is leftover after pressing...Read More >

Tequila Teasers

Tequila has been all the rage lately of those who want to obtain a healthier drinking lifestyle. This aromatic spirit has flavor on its own without adding any high-calorie mixers, where just a squeeze of lime will do. With this tasty flavor, you tend to sip on your drink more slowly over time versus consuming several drinks at one social setting (think vodka, soda, close it). Tequila is also exciting in that there are several categories from which you can choose based on your tasting profile preference. More on those later, for now know that whatever style of tequila you choose to drink, be sure to look for a product that is labeled 100% Blue Agave in order to avoid any sugary fillers (that lead to that bad, awful tequila hangover). Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie, with the mixology and tasting skills of Certified Tasting Officer Kirk Baker, tease you below with top choices of tequilas that will begin your journey...Read More >
