Nantucket Civic League Is Getting Things Done

September 1 - 7, 2016

ISLAND CASHMERE Nantucket’s Scout camps threatened by developers! Bites to be taken out of Mill Hill Park! Something should be done! And lots has been by the Nantucket Civic League. Recently, the Nantucket Islands Land Bank purchased Camp Taupawshas, the 5.2-acre Nantucket Girl Scout camp south of Polpis Road, thereby shielding it forever from real estate development. Camp Richard, Nantucket’s Boy Scout camp, also faces the future threat of real estate development. Atlantic Development Corporation mounted an aggressive campaign to purchase a large portion of this area for development. That would have enriched the Cape and Islands Boy Scout Council at the expense of local scout troops and the many off-island scouts who use our island’s camp each year. Camp Richard comprises nearly 100 acres of pinewoods south of Old South Road. It was the Nantucket Civic League that conveyed this area to our local Boy Scouts a half century ago. That conveyance included a key proviso: if the land ever ceased being used for scouting purposes, it would revert to the Nantucket Civic League. Representatives of Atlantic Development Corporation argued that a technicality invalidated that proviso that the Cape and Islands Council of Boy Scouts was free to sell off a portion of the property. Local voices coalesced continued on page 26

Sweet Memories More than three decades ago, well before artisan chocolates were all the rage, Kathy and John West created a Nantucket startup dedicated to offering the best hand-crafted chocolates and sweets to Nantucket residents and visitors. Their shop, Sweet Inspirations, is now an island landmark celebrating it’s 35th Anniversary. Recently they shared with us some of their “sweet memories” ... John was working at a job in corporate high tech in Boston, when he met Kathy, his partner in life and in business, and it was Kathy who first brought John to Nantucket Island. “John had never been to Nantucket,” commented Kathy, who had family on the island. So she brought him to the island one September to visit. “We left Hyannis on the Hy-Line boat in pouring rain,” John explains. “About 2 miles off Nantucket, the rain stopped, and I saw the island with that golden light after a storm hitting the town and the steeples, giving them a beautiful glow.” With a smile and a blush he went on...”I just fell in love with Nantucket—I thought ‘this is my place’.” John decided to take a risk to follow a dream. Within a year they had created the business plan for Sweet Inspirations. John and Kathy carefully chose the name of their artisan chocolate shop: “We were truly inspired by a love for the island, its people, visitors, and natural beauty.” They started wholesaling in 1981 and in 1983 they opened their first shop on-island, close to the White Elephant, across from The Mad Hatter. “Our first employee and key to our successful start-up, was Nantucket long-time resident Jean Dee. continued on page 28

Summit of Life by Rebecca Nimerfroh Have you ever day-dreamed about hunting down a long-lost ex, storming through their front door, and demanding once and for all an explanation for all their wrongs? Sure, it’s been years and years, and you both have moved on long ago, but undeniably, there is still, and most likely always will be, a little flicker of a fire in your heart for them, and it would warm you to see them as much as it would hurt. Finding yourself there, in front of them, no doubt you would scream, you would cry, you would embrace, and maybe, just maybe, you would finally understand what went wrong. photo by Cary Hazlegrove

Storing Life

Sail Endeavor

by Robert P. Barsanti

a Nantucket tradition. established 1982

You know who you are in a storage locker. When you open the padlock and the shutter goes up, all is laid out in front of you at the cost of $125 a month. Every one that I never became is stacked and stored in 10 X 12 fluorescent space. My storage locker holds hundreds of books. They were organized by genre and by author, with the idea that somehow I was going to need all of the James Bond books sometime in the future, along with a thorough collection of Isaac Asimov science books. There is a crib, there is a changing table, there is a stroller; somehow it seemed as if I might have more kids and would need them. Mostly, I have big wooden articles of furniture. I am paying to save the things that I couldn’t touch or open when I was a child. I have my parent’s breakfront, my mother’s dresser (with mirror) and an eight-foot long buffet, among other Hitchcock furniture treasures. They sleep standing in the corner next to three box mattresses and four boxes of tax returns. I don’t get to lead my parents’ lives. Their middle class struggle has retreated into just being a slog in the twenty-first century. I don’t have a house large enough for the relics of the lives, nor do I have the family to need them. At the same time, I remember how much my parents valued this stuff and my knuckles still bark with the affection my mother shared with me over her Waterford glasses. Storage lockers hold all the people you think you should be, but aren’t. You store it because you think there will be a time, sometime in the far off future when it will happen for you. Or, failing that, you store it because you have accepted that your life will never have space for these things but, with luck, the kids may need it. Still, I can’t imagine that either of my boys will want their grandfather’s

The story of the striped bass skeleton hanging in the Maria Mitchell Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hinchman Natural Science Museum begins with an old Nantucketer, Granger Frost, who caught the striped bass off of Tuckernuck in 1971. The bass, lovingly named the 7th Earl of Tuckernuck, weighed 50 lbs (average size is 15-30lbs) and was sent to Woods Hole where it was prepared as a specimen by Andy Konnerth. For years, the skeleton of the 7th Earl of Tuckernuck hung in Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Corner on Main Street, until it fell on a woman looking at books. The specimen was then given to the Maria Mitchell Association, where it has yet to fall on any unsuspecting visitors. Striped bass are a favorite challenge for many anglersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an alluring catch because of its size and quick strength. The population of this fish has been in flux since the 1980s, when the population took a major dip, a moratorium continued on page 15

FAMILY EXCURSIONS

A Walk through History by Corinne Muffly Educator A series of articles dedicated to helping parents find places and activities on Nantucket to enjoy with their children. If you are looking for a leisurely yet informative excursion to really allow you to connect with the genuine history of Nantucket, I highly suggest the walking tours. This may come as a surprise to you, but Nantucket is more than white trimmed houses with grey shingles, beaches, and seafood. There is real meaningful history around every corner on this hot spot. After all, this used to be the whaling hub in the 19th century. There are several different tours offered such as the historic mansions and windmill tour, mansions on the cliff and Brant Point, ‘Sconset, and a few others as well. There are also popular ghost walks offered at night that visit the oldest house, burial grounds, and other haunted locations. I recently went on an early morning tour led by a very knowledgeable tour guide, Bill. The description of the tour had the words non-stop exercise in the title, so I was unsure what to expect. Nonetheless, I showed up with sneakers and a water bottle ready to go. I’m glad I did because it is a walking tour after all. Each of the tours meets at the top of Main Street on the steps of the bank and there are no reservations required. The tour costs about $15$20, depending on the type of tour and child rates are different. Cash only too. I did want to bring my son along, who required a stroller so I called the number listed and I’m glad I did. I had planned to go on a different tour, but the guide suggested I try the Historic Mansions and the 1746 Windmill tour continued on page 25

Summer on Nantucket has become synonymous with drinking rosé wine. On the boat, at the beach, sipping it waterfront with breakfast, lunch or dinner are just a few occasions where one can be caught with a full glass of pink pleasure in their hand. With such variety and spice among all the new, unique rosé selections available these days, drinking pink is now acceptable throughout the year. Which rosé wine you choose to drink, however, should change with the season just like your other eating and drinking habits do. As Nantucket’s summer season is winding down, this is the perfect time to transition into enjoying a different style of rosé than the light, refreshing one you would imbibe during the dog days of summertime. In celebration of Labor Day, here is a selection of tried-and-true American-made rosés worthy of consideration and reflection this holiday weekend. The best of rosés during this time of year are those that are intentionally made and not just produced as an afterthought. There are several ways to make a rosé wine. The first is the blending of white and red wine together, which is allowable for Champagne, but not other wines from Europe and rarely used as a practice here in the United States. Another method is referred to as saignée, in which the juice from fermenting red wine is bled off to make the rosé. In this instance, the resulting rosé is often times a byproduct of other winemaking endeavors where the wine left remaining macerating with the skins is made into a more concentrated red wine. The most authentic way to make the purest style of rose is by a brief maceration of the skin and juice, then a direct pressing just as you would for any other wine, making it a true labor of love. Robert Sinksey Vineyards Vin Gris Rosé of Pinot Noir, Los Carneros of Napa Valley 2015 is just that, a very intentionally crafted rosé. Rob and Maria Helm Sinskey, regular luminaries at Nantucket Wine Fest, started making rosé continued on page 29

Theatre Review

Vol. 46 No. 17 • Our 46th Season!

September 1 - 7, 2016

Page 11

from page 5

This is the very set up for the striking Annapurna, a play written by Sharr White, presented at the gorgeously new White Heron Theatre Company located just behind the Whaling Museum in downtown Nantucket, running until September 11. A two-person production, starring White Heron Theatre regular Brandy Zarle as Emma and Broadway veteran Joey Collins as Ulysses, the audience finds themselves a front row seat as these two estranged lovers hash it out from within Ulysses’ dirty trailer. Directed by Lynne Bolton, this production opens to Emma finding Ulysses dressed only in a dirty apron, cooking meat on his stove. Emma discovers that this man she loved and left years ago has let not just a few things slide – like clothes for example, which he chooses not to wear unless he has money to launder them, or getting a new phone, which he claims his dog ate long ago. But there are greater things too, like his health, that he has lost as well leaving him equipped with an oxygen tube through his nose and hooked up to a bag on his back. When Emma finally addresses the fact that he is sick with terminal cancer from years and years of smoking, Ulysses says humorously, “Oh, and there’s that.”

photo by Cary Hazlegrove

As the layers of these characters unravel, the audience sees that both these people are not without their fare share of flaws, with Ulysses’ history of alcoholism (the reason they split apart) but also Emma’s history of attracting a poor mate has repeated itself as indicated by multiple bruises on her arm. But then it is revealed as well that their love affair was not a casual one, and that they have a son, Sammy, whom Emma took with her when she left Ulysses years ago on one fateful night. Tension rises as Ulysses confesses that he doesn’t remember, due to an alcoholic black out, what caused her to leave and never return, and Emma refuses to accept this. The dialog between them reveals the dark minutes of their last moments years ago, and there is genuine sadness to be felt for these two who left so much unsaid. The real magic here is in the dialog, and how easy it pours from actors Zarle and Collins. You forget you are watching a play and feel like you are a fly on the wall in this unfortunate, yet thrilling scene where you can’t help but think of how time does not heal all wounds, and that sometimes things shouldn’t be left unsaid. The poet Rumi once urged us to be patient with our questions because we will one day find ourselves living in the answers, but maybe that is not always true? Real love is felt when Ulysses, a once-famous writer who has long ago abandoned his career, reveals that he has been writing a poem about his long lost Emma since the day she left. He calls it “Annapurna” after the great Himalayan Peak of the same name, that a man named Maurice Herzog first summited and famously said “there are other Annapurnas in the lives of men.” And it is all these figurative mountains, both beautiful and challenging, that make up the stories of our lives.

Artifact from Wreck of the Bounty The Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) is pleased to announce that it is the recipient of a generous gift from Glynn Christian, a direct descendent and biographer of Fletcher Christian, the leader of the 1789 mutiny on the British Royal Navy vessel Bounty. The artifact is a piece of copper hull sheathing from the wreck, brought up from the waters of Bounty Bay at Pitcairn Island, a vol-

canic island in the southern Pacific. It was given to Mr. Christian in 1980 during a research visit to the island and gifted to the NHA at a recent lecture by Mr. Christian at the Whaling Museum on June 27, 2016. The wood hull of the Bounty was covered in copper below the waterline to protect it from shipworms. The sheathing was fastened in place with copper nails, two of which re-

main attached to this piece. His Majesty's Armed Vessel Bounty sailed to the Pacific in 1787 to collect breadfruit plants for transplant to British plantations in the Caribbean. Part of the crew (led by Fletcher Christian) mutinied in April 1789, setting Captain William Bligh and his supporters adrift in the ship’s boat. While Bligh navigated the boat more than 3,500 nautical miles to safety in one of history’s greatest open-boat journeys, Christian and the mutineers sailed to Tahiti and later to remote and inhospitable Pitcairn Island, where they burned the ship and disappeared until they were discovered in 1808 by Captain Mayhew Folger of Nantucket aboard the ship Topaz. Captain Folger brought back to Nantucket a Chinese export porcelain bowl owned by one of Bounty's officers, which was given to him by the islanders during his visit, now in the NHA collection. The NHA also holds a tea caddy from the Bounty, taken from the island in March 1851 by continued on page 16

was put in place along most of the East Coast. The moratorium worked, and by the mid 90s the population was once again at a healthy enough level to continue sport fishing. The mid-2000s saw a similar situation: striped bass fishing was over the target catch level, and the species was not reproducing fast enough to repopulate. Since then, populations have recovered, but there is a minimum catch length of 28 inches. The Maria Mitchell Association Aquarium has a few striped bass that they will be releasing on Saturday, September 3 as part of the annual public release party. This year, the Aquarium will be releasing everything in the tanks into the harbor except for the tropical fish, organisms recently sent from Woods Hole, and an orange lobster named Clementine. One in 10 million lobsters are orange (caused by a rare genetic mutation), and Clementine is certainly an anomaly. Over the summer season the Aquarium acquired an interesting array of sea life. Most recently a 9-year-old girl rescued a female seahorse at Cisco beach. She saw the seahorse floating in the surf, put the seahorse in a water bottle with water, and biked it to the aquarium. Unsure if the seahorse would make it over night, the staff did everything they could to help revive seahorse, but they did not have high hopes for survival. With the efforts of everyone involved, the seahorse pulled through and is now living happily at the aquarium. Nantucket is in the northern most range for seahorses, and to have rescued a seahorse is a treat for staff and guests alike. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute recently provided the aquarium with an array of marine life including some sea urchins, a dogfish egg case, parchment tubeworm, and sea stars. The newly collected organisms are an exceptional addition to the aquarium. Visit the newest tank additions or join us for the free public release day this Saturday at 28 Washington St from 10 am to 1 pm. The MMA was founded in 1902 to preserve the legacy of Maria Mitchell and to promote her belief in learning-by-doing. An astronomer and natural scientist, as well as an educator, Maria Mitchell shot to worldwide fame when she discovered a comet in 1847. For her discovery, she was awarded a gold medal from the King of Denmark â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first American and first woman to receive the honor. She served as the Professor of Astronomy and Mathematics at Vassar College from 1865 until 1888. Today, the MMA operates two observatories, a natural science museum, an aquarium, and the birthplace of Maria Mitchell. The MMA conducts scientific research, leads classes and workshops for people of all ages year-round, and welcomes thousands of visitors to its museums and observatories.

Artifact from Wreck of the Bounty from page 14

Captain George B. Folger or one of his crew on the Nantucket whaler Peruvian, as well as a wood box made in 1850 by Arthur Quintal, the first child born on Pitcairn Island after the mutineers settled there. Guns from the Bounty wreck were recovered in the nineteenth century, and the anchor was recovered in 1957. Nails, cannonballs, sheathing, and other items have been recovered over time by the islanders and as part of archeological work. For many years, residents of Pitcairn Island gave away small items from the wreck to visitors, although this is generally no longer done. “Nantucket plays a small but key part in the story of the mutiny on the Bounty,” says Michael R. Harrison, NHA Robyn & John Davis Chief Curator. “Mr. Christian’s highly personal gift helps the Nantucket Historical Association unlock that story even further for the people of Nantucket.” The artifact is a joint gift to the NHA from Glynn Christian and Tophal Russo.

desk moved into their dorm room. My mother envisioned a time when she would, with some Lace Curtain Irish grace, allow me to set up a house with some of her treasures just as she “inherited” some furniture from her parents. Time out ran her. I hope my boys can live in a world with a breakfront in the living room and a six-foot wide dresser in the bedroom. My boys may be homeowners when they are forty in 2040. I know as much about that year as my parents knew about the year 2000. For my parents, the new millennium was a far off land where space ships launched for Jupiter and the moon left earth orbit (Space 1999). To me, the year 2000 came with diapers, Dora the Explorer, and the dot.com bubble. It did not come with a bedroom set. Forty will come to my boys late and soon. Their playing days will be behind them, they will be watching their carbs, and they won’t be getting enough sleep. This has been true for centuries. Forty will come to them in a world that I regret to imagine. It will be a warmer world. It will be a more crowded world. It will be a more technical world. It will be a world staffed and operated by everyone who rides a school bus today. Those buses wait until September to roll on Nantucket. Nantucket has a very civilized opening to the school year; the students stay working with their parents until the season breaks at Labor Day, and then they return to school. School, God bless it, is the most conservative institution we have. Every teacher works in her own storage locker. Teachers and principals teach those

things that were important to them back in the day. They hope that that geometry, vocab quizzes, and SAT prep will light someone else’s way as well. And they might. Perhaps our tropical future will need the word “arboreal” and “conflagration.” I don’t know what furniture I should keep for them, and I am not really sure what they need to be taught. Out of all of the classes I took in high school, typing might have been the most useful and it was the one that I got thrown out of with extreme prejudice. My intimate knowledge of the IBM Selectric lasted exactly two years into college when I was introduced to the Digital “Rainbow 100” computer and Microsoft Word. My teachers wanted me to succeed. To them, touch typing was a life skill as important as driving. These things were to buoy me up, not tie me down. My parents kept all of this furniture because it was a life they wanted to hand down to me. They wanted the life of bureaus, dressers, and buffets to support a stable life of family, friends, and Thanksgiving dinners. And I kept them because I wanted to have some of that life myself, even though that world has slipped of into the tide. At this point, the only fragments of that life is stacked up in this room. I should get rid of it all and spend the money on scratch tickets. Too many of my days have been spent staring into someone else’s mirror trying to fill someone else’s furniture, be it my parent’s or my own. Somewhere out there, at the far reach of the Salvation Army, someone can find a better use for a breakfront and a buffet other than to serve my ghosts. The last thing my kids need is to drag the shadow of these expectations into the watery future. I’ll leave them the cookbooks and the rain coats. And the Diaper Genie.

because it was more accessible for strollers. The tours that stick around town are better for strollers. This tour was about a two-mile walk that highlighted historic mansions and beautiful gardens, with historic commentary provided by Bill. We casually strolled up Fair Street and snuck down a quaint shell road lined with carriage houses connecting back to Main Street. Here we viewed the well-known “three bricks” belonging to the Starbuck brothers across from their cousin William Hadwen’s house. Continuing on through the peaceful streets, I listened as Bill spoke of the past occupants of these historic mansions and their

importance to the island. He spoke of the past value of many of the homes comparing now and then prices that would make your jaw drop. We arrived at the Mitchell home that stretched down almost the length of Candle House Lane. As we walked, the gardens tucked behind hedges and fences did not disappoint. Had I been allowed, I would have happily frolicked through all of them. After venturing through infrequently traveled roads and paths we reached our destination. The windmill is pretty much the center of the island and did in fact have a wellneeded breeze blowing through. There were originally four windmills on Nantucket and this one is the oldest functioning mill in the country. The mill is open weekdays from 11 am -4 pm. Fun fact: the windmill is where couples used to court. How romantic! Growing up on Nantucket, I learned a great deal about the history around me, but it was really nice getting a refresher and I learned a whole lot more, too! Things you almost take for granted walking by as you stroll through town now hold more meaning. I am thankful to call Nantucket my home.

to oppose this tactic. The Nantucket Civic League, along with the Nantucket Land Council, insisted that the land donations had been to Nantucket’s local Boy Scouts. Barnstable Superior Court Judge Gary A. Nickerson concluded that the outsider here (Cape and Islands Council) owns the land, but only so long as its use remains unchanged—as a scout camp for Nantucket’s Boy Scouts. Any change in that use would cause ownership to revert to the Nantucket Civic League. How did the Nantucket Civic League come to have 100 acres of land to donate to Nantucket’s Boy Scouts in the first place? It had come to the league from an earlier organization, the Nantucket Improvement Association, and the Improvement Association had received it from Josiah Sturgis. Hence the name that has carried on to this day, “the Sturgis Pines.” Sturgis was born in 1817, moved here and married a Nantucketer, and operated Pine View Farm. In 1845, the Proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands set off 247 acres of pinelands in three noncontiguous lots to Sturgis, but whatever he intended to do with the land, he changed his mind. Bitten by the Gold Fever that began in 1849, he gave up farming, moved his family to Martinez, California, and went into the hotel business. In 1892, five years before his death in California, Sturgis conveyed all his 247 acres of pinelands to the Improvement Association, writing to its members, “I hope you enjoy as much pleasure in receiving and caring for the property as I do in relinquishing it into your care.” By 1904, when the Nantucket Civic League was incorporated, the Improvement Association was moribund, and the two organizations, whose membership lists overlapped, eventually merged. As part of that merger, finally accomplished in 1912, the deed to the Sturgis Pines was delivered to the Civic League. The League held other property as well, namely Mill Hill Park. In 1890 builder Charles H. Robinson and Captain Henry Coleman requested that the

September 1 - 7, 2016

Proprietors of the Common and Undivided Lands set off land adjacent to the Old Mill to Captain Coleman, aiming to transfer the deed to the Improvement Association, which would then protect and maintain the property. This land, too, came to the Civic League as part of the merger with the Improvement Association. In 1926, developer Franklin E. Smith, who had acquired controlling shares in the Proprietary, challenged the deed to the Civic League, which he had himself drafted at the time of the 1912 transfer. The Civic League rose to the occasion by raising funds to buy back from Smith “the only part of the property suitable for park purposes with no reversion clause. It is always to be ours but must only be used as a park.” In 1953, it was proposed that the Civic League sell Mill Hill Park for construction of a new Nantucket Cottage Hospital building. The clause about the land being used solely as parkland nipped this proposal in the bud. In 1962, however, after half a century of hard work to maintain and defend Mill Hill Park, and faced with overwhelming costs to continue to care for it, the Civic League made a gift of the park to the Town of Nantucket. This did not halt efforts to detach pieces of the park for development, but public opinion has stood firmly against it. A third material gift of the Nantucket Civic League has never been challenged. In December 1943, the Civic League unveiled a Roll of Honor adjacent to the Sanford House on Federal Street listing the names of Nantucketers who served in World War II. By October of 1944, the monument had to be enlarged to add more names. On May 6, 1946, the community gathered before the Role of Honor to observe VE Day, and memorial gatherings have continued there ever since. The monument has been rebuilt and enlarged to accommodate the names of those who served in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and subsequent actions. The venerable Sanford House was demolished for the construction of the Town Building. The land on which the Roll of Honor stands remains sacred ground to this day. You can learn more about the many contributions of the Nantucket Civic League to our community in Something Should Be Done: A History of the Nantucket Civic League by Frances Ruley Karttunen, available at local book sellers and on-line.

She is remembered as ‘Mom’ for her happy smiles, samples, and friendly conversation.” As with any new venture, hours were long: “we found time for recovery and a safe haven for late night ‘office meetings’ at the Fish House Restaurant with Stew and refreshments served at the bar by Roy Flanders and Phil Garuffi.” “Our first and favorite chocolate was our Almond Buttercrunch. This was initially offered exclusively through Nantucket's local businesses. Now artisan-dipped year-round at our Zero India Street Showcase Kitchen.“ Now located in the heart of town at Zero India Street across from the Atheneum park, Sweet Inspirations is very much a part of Nantucket. All their artisan chocolates are made using very fresh, top-shelf ingredients from Belgian chocolate to fresh cream and high-quality fruits, nuts, and flavorings. Still popular early creations include the elegantly simple chocolate Nantucket Scallop Shells, Pecan and Caramel Islands, the original Cranberry CreationsTM Chocolate Covered Cranberries, the Nancy Chase Nantucket Mint, and the extraordinary Cranberry Cheesecake hybrid truffle. Change of seasons, different celebrations, client requests and suggestions, their own travels, and staff from different corners of the world give John and Kathy a steady stream of inspiration to create fresh, new confections.

“We’re like the league of nations in here,” said Kathy, “we’ve had staff from all over.” John added: “International chocolate inspirations include the memorable Bermuda Dark n' Stormy and Swedish Glugg Truffles.” Recently designed chocolates include the Chocolate Oysters and their artisan truffle, Coco the Chocolate Whale.” When asked about their personal favorites, John admitted to enjoying a dark chocolate covered pretzel with his morning coffee and Kathy goes for the dark chocolate with almonds or the caramel with sea salt. They both often finish dinner with a dark chocolate almond medallion. John and Kathy also created an extensive collection of unique limited edition gift tins by collaborating with local artist Barbara Capizzo and skilled American Tinsmiths. These collectible tins make wonderful gift boxes and the retired editions are in high demand. Sweet Inspirations’ artisan chocolates have won numerous awards and recognitions, including features on the Food Networks Food Finds, Oprah's Best Gifts Show, and competitive awards on Nantucket, Cape Cod, and Boston. With Sweet Inspirations, John and Kathy West have turned their creativity, work ethic, and tenacity into the sweet dream of a successful Nantucket business. “Our goal,” explained John, “has always been to be one of the best on Nantucket.

well before it was considered cool and hip. They were inspired by the classically delicate, European pink wines they found on their travels that were made with a sense of purpose and precision. Thus they wanted to create a wine to be enjoyed with lunch or an afternoon snack that was crisp, refreshing, and pleasurable for that type of setting. This beautiful 100% Pinot Noir wine has aromas of macerated berried with flavors of fresh peaches and apricot, followed by well-integrated lively citrus notes. The wine is vibrant and complex, calling for a morsel of food in order to complete the full equation. The Sinskeys believe that the style of wine they produce excels at the dinner table and that wine should be considered as part of an overall culinary experience. Simply, yet eloquently stated, “Wine is a craft that begins with the care of the soil and ends with an open bottle of wine on the table.” It is paired best appropriate local foods that are a purist expression of where they originate, such as a feast made from the bounty of locally harvested vegetables and the fresh catch of the day from our local waters. Creating memorable food and wine pairings such as these isn’t about doing it all on your own and neither is the winemaking process. It all starts from the ground up, with the help of Mother Nature and what she has to offer in the soil, along with weather patterns that affect the harvest and the helpful hands that bring the grapevines to fruition. Winemaking is a collaboration of many parts throughout the entire process. This is evident in Barrymore Wines Rosé of Pinot Noir, Monterey 2015. Drew Barrymore, American actress, author, producer, mom, and frequent visitor to Nantucket, is all about the journey in the many different ventures that she leads. She choose to work with well-established Carmel Road Winery located in Monterey, CA, to bring together two family-owned companies both with deep roots in California in order to create a wine to share with her family and friends.

to cool nights in your favorite sweatshirt couldn’t be easier with this wine. This rosé made from 100% Pinot Noir is an ideal transition into the end of summer rosé drinking pleasures as it offers slightly more concentrated fresh flavors of red fruits than a wine from Côtes de Provence, yet still has the bright acidity we love from our summer selections. Better yet, let the laughter and fun continue by pairing this wine with your favorite take-out sushi. On another spectrum, sometimes you must go to the extremes in order to create the perfect expression of wine from an unusual vineyard source. Flowers Pinot Noir Rosé, Sonoma Coast 2015 comes from the extreme Sonoma Coast, just two miles as the crow flies from the rugged Pacific Coast cliffs at almost 2,000 feet elevation. Here the vineyard is able to benefit from the maritime breezes and the coastal fog (think Nantucket) during the heat of summer that affects other California vineyards further inland. This allows the grapes to ripen fully and create fresh flavors with natural acidity and a hint of distinct coastal minerality. This 100% Pinot Noir rosé is made to be just that, a rosé and not a red wine. It has that brilliant, coral-salmon hue that marks it authenticity of production. Aromas of white nectarine and wild strawberry lead to a mouthful of balanced fruit and texture with a touch of salinity from the coastal influence. The wine is gently whole cluster pressed, let to settle in stainless steel, then aged in a combination of stainless steel, neutral and two year old French oak barrels. What makes this rosé wine worthy of attention here is that because of its vineyard sourcing and maturation, it is a wine that offers structure and layers that will allow it to age and drinks beautifully after some time to settle in the bottle. That time is now and the occasion is to reap and celebrate the benefits of being on-island this time of year. The notion of pairing these favorite newfound rosé wines with our local end-of-season bounty helps to ease the transition out of summer mode and into the more relaxing days of September ahead.

Bringing a Taste of Nantucket Home

With the summer season coming to a close, one way to bring Nantucket home with you (where ever home happens to be) is to take some favorite Nantucket recipes with you. Over the years a number of cookbooks have been published by Nantucket chefs and restaurateurs, as well as by island organizations and churches. Many are out of print and are passed down through generations of island cooks, favorites dog-earred and margins littered with notes on substitutions and enhancements. There are three Nantucket cookbooks still available for purchase here that we go back to time and time again for recipes and ideas: Harvesting Nantucket: The Taste of Bartlett’s Ocean View Farm, Savor Nantucket, and A Kitchen Collection: Sconset Café. Harvesting Nantucket is a collection of recipes featuring the produce grown at one of America’s oldest family farms. Farm staff describes their book as bringing “the farm to your table with colorful photos of prepared foods and recipes featuring the produce of Bartlett’s Farm.” Written by Barbara Gookin with food photography by Claudia Kronenberg, this cookbook includes the history of the farm and 75 recipes featuring fresh produce collected from local chefs and from the Bartlett’s farm kitchen. The cookbook is available in hardcover at the farm and online at BartlettsFarm.com Savor Nantucket is a collection of recipes from the parishioners and friends of the Church of St. Mary—Our Lady of the Isle. All 196 recipes were tested and approved by the cookbook committee, so even those submitted by professional chefs are scaled for home cooks. This cookbook is illustrated with photography by Jeffrey Allen. According to church staff, there are just a handful of copies left, available at Mitchell’s Book Corner, Bookworks, and other island shops. A Kitchen Collection: Sconset Café is a reprint of the first in a series published in the 1980s and 1990s by Pam McKinstry, chef and original owner of the Sconset Café. In response to many requests from her customers, Judi Hill recently collaborated with McKinstry to reprint the first in the series — the “pink cookbook” and the one that includes the recipe for McKinstry’s famous Morning Glory Muffins — and is selling it in the G.S. Hill Gallery at 40 Straight Wharf. Below is a selection of our staff’s favorite recipes from all three of these cookbooks, recipes that, to us, bring Nantucket home.

Marinate the fish, turning occassionally, for 2-4 hours in the refrigerator. Prepare your barbecue for medium-heat grilling with either wood or charcoal. The grill rack should be set at least 3 inches above the flame, otherwise lower the flame. Remove the bluefish from the marinate and grill it, skin side down for 3 minutes. Turn the fillet carefully and grill 3 more minutes on the skinless side. Transfer the fish to a warm plate and discard the skin.

On This Day in Nantucket History

by Amy Jenness available at Mitchell’s Book Corner and The Whaling Museum Gift Shop Quirky & fascinating stories that shaped this island

Nantucket is much more than beautiful beaches and sailboats. One day at a time, author Amy Jenness offers up quirky and fascinating stories of the people and events that shaped this remote island. On August 11, 1841, Frederick Douglass made his first antislavery speech at the Nantucket Atheneum. The Great Fire of July 13, 1846, devastated the island, forcing residents to rebuild what they lost. On December 5, 1981, a nor’easter stranded nearly two thousand visitors and forced seventeen pilot whales to come ashore. Read a story a day or month at a time. Celebrate an entire year of Nantucket history. ON THIS DAY IN NANTUCKET HISTORY is available for sale at Mitchell’s Book Corner and the Whaling Museum Gift Shop.
