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 >

Sips with Nantucket Bay Scallops

October marks the official start of Nantucket Bay scallop season, yippee! This special delicacy unique to our island is available first to anyone who obtains a recreational shellfish license from the Town of Nantucket before the commercial harvest season begins November 1st.   Not only is it an adventure to put on your waders and spend some time on the water, it is also an experience to shuck all your little gems and easily use them to create a culinary masterpiece. Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers a selection of fabulous, distinctive white wines of distinction to pair with your favorite Nantucket Scallop recipes. COME ON IN, THE WATER IS FINE The Anjou region of the Loire Valley in northwestern France is better known for their red wines than the limited production of their stellar whites. Located in the heart of this region is the estate farmed by Jean-Bernard (4th generation vigneron) and Catherine Chauvin, along with their son Denis. Here they...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 >

Esprit du Summer Wines

Summertime is synonymous with Sauvignon Blanc. No other wine screams “drink me” on a hot summer day as a relief to the scorching heat more than this racy, acidic white wine that is full of fresh fruit, minerality and a lively finish. With so many different styles from regions across the world to choose from, it can be hard to decide which one you would work best for you. Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie will guide you through a handful of selections for you to learn more where each wine comes from and what makes them stand out in a sea of Sauvignon Blanc options. A WHALE-Y GOOD ONE Any day on island is a good day to visit the Nantucket Historical Association’s Whaling Museum, not just on a Grey Lady kind of day. The same can be said true of when it comes to drinking SOUTHERN RIGHT SAUVIGNON BLANC from South Africa. The vineyards of this Sauvignon Blanc specialist are...Read More >
