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 >

Crushing Summer

Summertime activities should be about convenience. Drink what you want, when you want. Sounds easy, right? While you prefer cocktails, the last thing you want to do is haul a bottle of liquor and mixers to your destination just for one or two libations. One beer isn’t enough, yet two beers are too many. You want to supersize the one can you do carry with you, and make sure it is something just as super cool as you. Why not switch up your rosé game while you are at it to finish the summer on high note? Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie has just the solution to all these beverage problems in convenient, portable choices, whatever your drinking fancy may be these last few days of August. FOR THE ACTIVIST IN YOU While saving whales may not be on your radar, maybe at least limiting your use of plastic by drinking out of a can is, Radiant Pig Beers located in...Read More >

Craft Beer Craze

Ever wonder what exactly is a craft beer? Why are some of these beers so hard to get? And what’s up with all the funny names and labels on the cans anyway? Now is a great time to be an adventurous beer drinker in the United States. While Americans are drinking less beer than even a few years ago, we are drinking better products that quench our thirst in more ways than one. A craft (or micro) brewery produces small amounts of beer and is typically independently owned by the brewer and perhaps a few investors, unlike the big beer houses that are mass-produced and owned by a corporation. Many of the smaller breweries begin as a side project in someone’s basement or garage with an emphasis on quality, flavor and brewing technique, and eventually grow their experience and exploration into a bigger space. Craft brews have made themselves approachable enough with their fun names and cartoon like labels. Their...Read More >

Cheese, Glorious Cheese!

CHEESE, GLORIOUS CHEESE! Gathering around the large dining room table of your family home on Nantucket, the sharing of good food and perfectly paired wine will be sure to create long-lasting memories of your time spend here on island. Like wine, cheese should be nurtured and matured under proper conditions in order for it to be at its best. Controlling the natural ripeness of cheese under proper conditions, such as airflow and humidity, to achieve complete fermented bliss is called “affinage.” While you may have your favorite go-to cheese, your cheese can be matched to your special occasion. A simple, easy cheese plate for afternoon entertaining, a pre-game gathering before hitting the town or perhaps a late night snack after dancing the night away at the Chicken Box, see this tasty list of suggestions that would be a perfect pairing for your next beach day and beyond! BEWARE OF CHEESE IMPOSTERS The most famous goat cheese of the many varieties produced...Read More >
