Oyster White Wine & Hama Hama this Summa’ Summa’ The year 2022 marks the centennial anniversary of the famous Hama Hama Oyster Company on Hood Canal, so Oregon-based Cooper Mountain Vineyards is celebrating the milestone with the release of their Oyster White, a crisp white wine that pairs perfectly with Puget Sound’s tastiest bivalves. Crafted from a blend of Tocai Friulano, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer grapes grown organically in the volcanic soils of the Willamette Valley, Oyster White is an ideal tribute to two multi-generational companies in the Pacific Northwest. If you need more encouragement to toast the new summer boating season, proceeds from the wine’s sales will go to the Puget Sound Restoration Fund, which supports the restoration of aquatic ecosystems subject to climate change. We can all drink to that! $28 // coopermountainwine.com Nighttime Getting Nippy? Time for a ChappyWrap It may be all sea and sun this summer, but those warm daytime temps will surely drop on the water in the evening. This cozy, two-sided Fair Winds blanket, made in partnership between New England-based ChappyWrap and outerwear company Boathouse Sports, will take the chill out of nighttime breezes and 34
evening dampness. One side of the machine-washable, 38” by 57” wrap features a plush cotton-acrylic-blend blanket with a charming navy blue and ivory sailboat design; the other is made of water-resistant Boathouse Supplex nylon material. The combination, created with a jacquard-woven design, is an unbeatable way to stay warm and dry—and look good doing it—when the sun goes down. $115 // chappywrap.com Enjoy Shore Excursions with the Yeti Hopper M20 It’s officially picnic season and with the new Yeti Hopper M20 Backpack Cooler, you can pack in up to 18 cans of your favorite beverage or bring along sandwiches and fruit for a summertime family feast ashore.
