July 14 - 20, 2016

Making Dreams Come True by C. Oscar Olson Incorporated in 1641, Nantucket is easily one of the oldest towns in the country. One would assume that in the span of 375 years, all the “firsts” would be taken, and that there simply weren’t any new or notable trails to blaze. Think again. In 2012, an ensemble-driven theatre company of like-minded artists brought their talents from the big city of New York to the small island of Nantucket. Since then, their performances have been held in a humble tent behind the whaling museum. But this summer, coming to an island near you, Nantucket is getting its first official purpose-built theater in the town’s long, long history. Located at 5 North Water Street, the same site where the original tent was erected, the venue will forever be an asset to Nantucket’s downtown historical district. Known as the White Heron Theatre, the first summer season in this new venue will undoubtedly be one to remember. Unforgettable stars from stage, screen, and television will be on the Playbill. To name just two of the critically acclaimed actors and directors, Edie Falco and Olympia Dukakis are on the lineup. Falco became a household name after her performance in HBO’s The Sopranos and more recently was a hit on the Netflix series Nurse Jackie. Oscar-winner Dukakis is a veteran of the classic and contemporary stage and is equally well known for her roles on film. She will be performing her onewoman show, Rose, as a benefit for the theatre on July 25. The act was made famous in London and then on Broadway, and it will no doubt be a hit here as well. Some of the many other shows on the marquee include The Underpants, a German farce adapted by Steve Martin, and a reading of Napoli, Brooklyn, a play about sisterhood, freedom, and forgiveness set in 1960s Brooklyn. continued on page 12

Chains of Goodwill by Robert P. Barsanti At a South Shore beach, just up from Cisco, I looked up from my book to see two young men dragging a jet ski down to the water. Through careful and long practice, I have learned how to use sunglasses and eyed the progress with discretion. One pushed, the other pulled, and sand must have done its timeless work to expensive precision mechanics. Nonetheless, they successfully got it into the water. Like many of the days we have had so far, the surf did not overwhelm anyone, but the wind blew from the south. The waves crossed and recrossed each other until they hit the beach, then they rebounded back out into a confused swell. The taller young man, Chad-1, got on board, started the engine, and zipped out into the waves. Across the beach, older men, the Men in Full, with cars, families, and balances on our credit cards, put down our papers and our books, then looked at each other. Chad-2 stood on the beach with a camera and began filming. The jet ski and its rider jumped the first wave, skidded over the second one, and went tumbling over the third. I hope it was captured on video. Chad-1 got back on board, opened up the throttle parallel to the shore, stood on the back, and took one gigantic flailing leap over a wave. He rose in the air, then fell ten yards beyond his toy. We stood on the beach and waited. He surfaced, waved for the camera and everyone watching (later) on their computers, found the jet ski and motored sedately into shore. Chad-2 waited for his turn. I have been Chad. I knew what they were thinking; I have had my share of “Hold my beer” moments. I had been that guy, a long time ago with a much smaller wallet but the same capacity for delusion and self-destruction. My particular path to hell involved mountains and skis. Through the good graces of gravity, I survived the destruction my ego offered and made it into a safe middle age of beach chairs and judgement. Nobody filmed me, nobody posted it on YouTube, and nobody can find the cart wheeling yard sales I had coming down Chute on Mad River Glen. I remember standing at the top of the Headwall at Tuckerman’s Ravine and trying to pick a path down a slushy and icy cliff face. I had hiked up, carrying my skis and boots, and could not, in good sense, hike back down with my skis on my shoulder, my heart in my feet, and my skull intact. Naturally, I wasn’t alone. Naturally, we all looked at each other. Naturally, we all made it down. Somehow, we didn’t have a GoPro for posterity. Had a sensible older Man in Full tugged on my sleeve at the top of that ice bowl and suggested that this was a foolish endeavor, I would have wished him well and got down the mountain anyway. All of us Men in Full, sitting on our chairs and pausing in our reading, knew that there wasn’t anything we could do here other than bear witness, call for help, and perhaps find someone to swim out after the wounded with a rescue tube. Chad’s mistake is to assume that he and his friends exist in a parallel world to the rest of us. In his Redbull world, time runs slower, gravity is less oppressive, and the surface of the water is a downy pillow. The truth that age provides is that we are all on the same planet, subject to the same laws, and connected together in chains of goodwill. One gravity defying leap off continued on page 13

EMILLY BROOKE RUBIN JEWELRY DESIGN

by Katherine Brooks Maria Mitchell Association The story of the orphan tropical fish sounds like it could be the nautical version of “Annie,” or a spin off of “Finding Dory,” but the story of the orphan tropical fish hinges on the theme of displacement and is an example of how animals move. To set the scene, tropical fish originate off the coast of Florida and the Carolinas, the fish thrive in Atlantic waters that peak around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The antagonist of this story is the Gulf Stream, which is a strong current that flows from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic Ocean. The tropical fish get caught in warm core

Collapse of the THE TRINITY Quahog Industry COLLECTION Fine Timepieces & Jewelry

by Amy Jenness In 1913 an Edgartown fisherman named Sam Jackson was dragging for flounder around Tuckernuck Shoal when he discovered a massive bed of quahogs and forever changed the island’s shellfish industry. For centuries local fishermen had harvested large clams, also known as quahogs, as well as oysters and scallops. Prior to Jackson’s discovery, quahog fish-

ermen rowed their dories into Nantucket and Madaket harbors and gathered the shellfish in shallow water using large tongs. A typical catch was three to four bushels a day. For 1912, industry analysts guessed that the Nantucket quahog industry brought in about $100,000. In June of that year the Inquirer & Mirror noted, “Fifty-eight boats were at work on the quahog beds in the harbor Wednesday morning. And with this little

FAMILY EXCURSIONS

Crabbing…or should I say Turtling? by Corinne Muffly Educator A series of articles dedicated to helping parents find places and activities on Nantucket to enjoy with their children.

AJ Exclusively at Made on Nantucket

One of my fondest memories growing up on Nantucket was going crabbing with my family. Although it kind of grossed me out, I did really enjoy it. I relived this pastime with my family, now taking our own children, and went crabbing! With a quick run to Stop and Shop for my supplies, we were off to Madaket’s Long Pond to catch us some crabs and maybe even a snapping turtle. There are two locations for this activity, both offer parking. The first spot has a T shaped boardwalk with a sprawling view of the pond in front of and behind you. It’s always a great spot for watching swans. This location is best for older children that are steadier on their feet. With those huge snappers lurking in the waters, I wouldn’t want to accidentally fall in! We drove a bit further down the road to the next spot off of Madaket Road still on Long Pond. There is a little bank, or you can sit on the ledge over the pass-through. This location is much more kid friendly and safe, especially if you want to avoid falling in the murky pond water. When you do go crabbing, there are a few specific things you must bring. You must bring twine, rubber gloves, a knife or scissors, and raw chicken. Some optional tools are a bucket and a net. The chicken is used as bait to catch the crabs or snapping turtles. Wearing your rubber gloves to handle the raw chicken, tie a tight knot around the chicken leg. As I found out, there is a specific kind of chicken you should purchase when crabbing. The chicken drumsticks are ideal for this activity be-

cause you need to securely tie the twine around the end of the drumstick in order to prevent the knot from passing over the bone when a turtle or crab takes hold of the bait. It might be a good idea to take along a bucket full of water just in case you catch a crab. You can store it in the bucket and let everyone check it out until you decide to release it back into the pond. After securing our bait, we were ready to catch some crabs. It’s important to remember to give yourself enough string since you are tossing the chicken into the water. One tip I will give you is if you are crabbing with younger children it is a good idea to tie the other end of the twine around their wrist because once they throw that chicken into the pond, they might not remember to hang on tightly to the other end. Almost immediately we got a bite on our line and slowly pulled the catch to the edge of the pond expecting a crab. However, it was a huge snapping turtle forcefully deboning our drumstick! With each toss of our chicken, more snappers began to appear vying for the delicious bait. There were even a few babies that wanted in on the action. We had to remind ourselves to not reach in and try and touch them because they are quick with their bite and won’t hesitate to take a finger for dessert. Be mindful of a few things when you decide to go: do not go swimming or wading into the pond, leave your dogs at home, watch your children carefully, and leave all living things in their habitats.

Nantucket Island NANTUCKET Rosé Roadshow WALKING TOURS by Jenny Benzie

Providing Quality Tours Since 1998

Advanced Sommelier + Certified Wine Educator, Proprietress of Épernay Wine & Spirits There is no doubt that Nantucket has some of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches in the world. For those of you who come to visit the Grey Lady and others who live here year-round, there is comfort in knowing that you are surrounded entirely by a sandy coastline that evokes a sense of calmness and serenity. Your favorite spots on the sand deserve a bottle of rosé wine in hand, resulting in the perfect summertime blend. This pairing of these two equally important parts of the equation will create an elevated, memorable experience of your time here on the island. Remember to bring your Govino wine glasses (reusable, recyclable and shatterproof drink ware) and a wine opener with you as you embark on this Nantucket Rosé Roadshow.

THE CHEAP + CHEERFUL ROUTE If you arrived on Nantucket via ferry, you have most likely seen the Brant Point Lighthouse: the welcoming beacon to this magical island. While this may not be the absolute closest beach within walking distance to town, the scene around Brant Point makes it worthwhile to walk the extra seven minutes to experience the sights and sounds that abound here. Upon arrival, you immediately start to feel at ease as you watch the boats peacefully come in and out of the harbor. Local fishermen line the shore in hopes of reeling in their personal catch of the day. The perfect Rosé pairing for this not-so-serious-of-a-commitment beach adventure calls for a wine that matches the highlights of this locale. Easy access, not too complicated, and happy-go-lucky, yet exciting enough that you continued on page 26

There are just three more chances to see the edgy exploration of the lines between seduction and power in Theatre Workshop of Nantucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production of Venus in Fur. Directed by Jedadiah Schultz, Kaitlyn Jane Kurowski and Jeff Barry star in this production of David Ivesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; play (based on a novel of the same name. Smug writer-director Thomas tries to brush off the brazen and brash actress Vanda as she sets out to convince him that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only woman who can play the part he is trying to cast. What starts as a behind-the-scenes look at an audition expands into a tango of power dynamics. Venus in Fur is being performed Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, closing July 16, at TWNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre Stage, 2 Centre Street. Curtain opens at 7 pm. Tickets at TheatreWorkshop.com or call the Box Office at 508-228-4305.

When the construction is complete, the Nantucket community will have world-class flexiblespace theatre with seating for 155 audience members. The space will be complete with rehearsal and dressing rooms, box office and refreshment bar, even an outdoor garden and classroom setting fit for outreach programs and more. Such programs will be designed to provide a foundation for learning and developing certain life skills that can only be attained through the theatrical process. White Heron is a standout in the world of theatre due to their unique process of artist collaboration and undeniably tight professionalism. The ensemble was founded in 2002 by actor/director Lynne Bolton and renowned theatre educator Earle Gister. The two were brought together by shared aspirations and a love for the art. Today, Lynne Bolton is still at the helm of White Heron and its affiliate organization, the Nantucket Theatre Institute, as President and Artistic Director. She has been joined by actor/director Michael Kopko, Executive Director. The two are both longtime residents of Nantucket and are devoted to furthering the same sensibilities that bring works both old and new alive for audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Nearly 20 years on and the group is still producing top notch and transformative productions of both classic works and more modern pieces. The goal of every performance is to bring the play to life and make it possible for each audience member to live through the actors on the stage. This magic

makes them not just witnesses to the unfolding drama but rather active participants in a living theatrical journey. Recently, the group was invited to be a part of the Sundance Theatre Lab, a prestigious group of only seven other members internationally. The Lab supports a diverse group of original theatre makers like White Heron. There is a focus on developing new works and creative exploration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real honor,â&#x20AC;? says Lynne Bolton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will give us a rare opportunity to create new work, and eventually export that work off the island and onto the global stage.â&#x20AC;? This is all coming to fruition after nearly half a decade of hard work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would I start from zero again? Absolutely,â&#x20AC;? says Michael Kopko. Due in part to the foresight of architect Andrew Kotchen and the dedication of contractor Scott Anderson, there were no significant delays since the dream started taking shape. He compares the journey to the invention of the light bulb: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Edison had 249 failures trying to find the right substance to make his light bulb a reality. When asked about them, though, he said they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t failures; rather 249 successful experiments.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this kind of outlook that will ensure the success of the White Heron theatre for years to come. He added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always had faith, and we focused on the art.â&#x20AC;? White Heron Theatre is asking the public to help the show go on with a donation. You can â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pave the Wayâ&#x20AC;? and buy a brick or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take a Seatâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;purchaseâ&#x20AC;? a chair. They welcome donations in any dollar amount, be it $1 or $1,000,000. To date, White Heron is well on their way to reaching their goal.

from page 4

the top of a wave could lead to families celebrating Thanksgiving in the ICU and gleeful text messages when Chad squeezed a hand. For the Chads, there was only the moment, the jet ski, and the camera. For the rest of us, there were hundreds of people lined up all around them. I have spent a good bit of time thinking about those hundreds of people because they routinely save my butt. I no longer drop over headwalls or schuss through a glade of hematoma pines, but I do lose things on a far too regular basis. In the last month, I have left my glasses at a table at the Downyflake, my iPad in a locker at the gym, and, most recently, my phone in a cab. When you lose something expensive and painful to replace, your heart begins to rise into the air and then fall. With all of my experience in losing things, I knew not to panic, whine, or cry but to wait, retrace my steps, and hope for the best. The best eventually happened. Another passenger in the cab found the phone and called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Lost, Please Call Numberâ&#x20AC;? and we arranged a meeting. I told them that I would be the fat guy in the yellow shirt. They said they would be at the Sconset Market. After an amusing quiz from two girls in bikinis, I assured them that I was indeed the correct fat guy in a yellow shirt. Then the cabbie parked and I bought everyone an ice cream for their troubles. All education is expensive. The cheapest ones cost money. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much I have learned. I suspect I will lose something valuable in the next week when my head is in the clouds and my glasses are on a table. What I have learned, in the kindest, gentlest way possible, is that nobody, even at the top of the ziggurat, is alone. Each person wants to ease the pain the world has. We are bound to each other in chains of goodwill that money, age, and race canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite sever (even though many have tried). The truth that Chad will learn comes to all of us if we survive our youth. We get by with a little help from our friends.

eddies (circular moving water) in the Gulf Stream which pull off of the Gulf Stream, and thus displace the fish from their native lands to other new environments along the East Coast. Coastal New England, especially Nantucket Island, receives a plethora of these orphaned fish in late summer. The tropical fish gather in eelgrass, moorings, and rocky coverings, which act as makeshift coral reefs. They adapt well to their new home, but the sad reality is that these fish cannot survive the drop in water temperature during the fall and winter months. Though this story sounds tragic, there is a happy ending for many of the fish. The protagonists of the story are the New England Aquarium of Boston and the Maria Mitchell Association of Nantucket that act as the heroes. Both aquariums adopt these orphaned tropical fish and raise them in tanks, which mimic tropical waters with temperatures around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. The Maria Mitchell Aquarium catches these orphaned fish during their Marine Ecology Field Trips for families, where participants have the opportunity to identify and release fish, crabs, shrimp, and other local marine life. Late July and August is when the tropical fish start getting dropped off by the Gulf Stream into Nantucket’s harbors. The Aquarium rescues (or adopts) all of the tropical fish they are able to catch; many of the tropical fish flourish in their new aquarium habitat—some for over five years. Currently the Maria Mitchell Aquarium houses four different types of tropical orphaned fish: buffalo trunkfish, permits, flying gurnard, and doctorfish tang. These fish were all caught near Madaket and will live out the continued on page 15

rest of their lives at the Aquarium. Tropical fish are often brightly colored for camouflage or to attract a mate. The buffalo trunkfish (pictured) is the only one of its type at the aquarium. A tiny puffer-looking fish, with electric blue eyes, the buffalo trunk fish is kept in it’s own tank because of the fish’s lethal defense mechanism: when stressed out, the buffalo trunkfish will secrete a toxin that kills everything within its tank (except for those of its own species). The doctorfish tang has its own menacing story—named for its sharp scalpel like barbs at the base of its caudal fin, the doctor fish uses it for competition and defense. Permits have a plate-like grinder in the back of their mouths that aid the consumption of bivalves (or shellfish), which sounds like medieval torture, but is a practical tool integral to the fish’s survival. Although the tropical fish seem to be able to defend themselves against predators, they are unable to protect themselves against the forces of the Gulf Stream. No two weeks at the Aquarium are ever the same; the tanks are seasonal and used for housing common to rare species (like the orphan tropical fish). Learn more fun facts about the plants and animals that line the beaches of Nantucket and join the Maria Mitchell Association on Marine Ecology Field Trips during the day or go on an adventurous Night Marine Ecology Walk and see how Nantucket’s beaches change between day and night. Sign up at the Aquarium on Washington Street or call 508-228-5387. 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 – 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.

Quahogs from page 7

gold mine right in the harbor, within a mile or so from town, the Nantucket fishermen have been foolish enough to permit thousands of bushels of seed quahogs to be shipped to other places to grow and become a source of revenue!â&#x20AC;? That year fishermen were upset that thousands of quahog seed had been shipped to other tows to fortify clam beds there. But that controversy shifted to surprise in 1913 at the thousands of barrels of quahogs lining Steamboat Wharf, brought in by off-island boats daily who paid the steamship to take their catch to the mainland and on to New York City by train. Word of a huge cache of quahogsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;estimated to be ten miles long and four miles wideâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just north of Nantucket spread quickly among fishermen, and soon boats equipped with dredging machinery came to drag for quahogs from ports in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York. Local fishermen were not able to harvest quahogs in 40 feet of water. Locals watched as the steamship company profited and a fishing boom developed just north of the island. In 1914 the New Bedford Standard Times, after speaking with Nantucket residents, aimed to clarify an earlier report that islanders were getting rich off quahogs: Some of the experts claim it (the Tuckernuck Shoals quahog supply) is inexhaustibleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if so, the Nantucket quahoggers, the men who have for years eked out their living with a dory and rake from the beds inside the harbor and at Muskeget, are simply facing the termination of "harbor digging...Competition with these boats was out of the question, and the island fishermen, who for years had tilled the heavy quahog rakes, were simply dazed. Their business was gone.

The slow, gentle custom of harvesting shellfish from a dory In the harbor had been replaced by the strength and speed of engines hauling heavy fishing equipment. Steam-powered dredges pulled up quahogs at such a furious rate that their suppliers and transportation companies struggled to keep up. In June of 1914 the Inquirer & Mirror noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The quahog fishermen of Nantucket last week ran out of barrels with which to ship their shellfish to New York. On Friday, two automobile loads of barrels were unloaded at the steamboat wharf in New Bedford to be continued on page 17

shipped to Nantucket. The barrels were originally made for the cranberry growers on the Cape.” The fishing boom extended well into the 1920s and in 1916 the Inquirer & Mirror reported: The extent of that immense bed of shellfish is not known today, any more than it was three years ago. When the fishermen apparently "clean out" one section with repeated digging day after day and month after month, they find the quahaugs "farther out" or "farther in" or to the eastward or westward, as the case may be, some of the boats when at work on the beds being miles apart. It is estimated that at least a million and a half bushels of the shellfish have been taken from the beds. After 13 years of watching the local commercial quahog business decline, the immense offshore haul of quahogs by mainland boats and diminishing scallop populations in Nantucket waters, state and local leaders were to over haul regulations on the shellfish industry. In November of 1928 members of a special Shellfish Commission charged with creating a report came to Nantucket to speak with local fishermen. Captain E. Z. Ryder spoke for the locals. “It is my opinion that Nantucket would like to have the laws drawn as drastic as possible, but the control should rest in local authorities. When I moved here from the Cape 18 years ago there were plenty of scallops everywhere, but there has been a gradual decrease from year to year. The same thing is true of quahogs. There are very few littlenecks now. If we keep taking away and don't add we will soon find the industry gone," the Inquirer & Mirror reported. The state had implemented rules and catch limits on quahogs for many years, but the 1928 committee recommended stricter regulations and improved oversight. Soon, with consent of the state, the town began to distribute scallop and quahog seed, set boundaries for how close commercial boats could fish to the island and restrict the amount of shellfish that could be taken in local waters. Once considered limitless, the Tuckernuck Shoal quahog bed was largely depleted by 1930. No one knows exactly how many quahogs were harvested there since many boats took their catch directly to a mainland port. Boats had once taken hundreds of barrels, but in 1929 the Inquirer & Mirror noted, “Quahogs are still being harvested from the beds in the sound, not far from Tuckernuck Shoal. The Beatrice B. brought in 14 barrels Monday afternoon, after a few hours' dredging.” Amy Jenness is the author of On This Day In Nantucket History.

will take that obligatory selfie to share with the world that you made it to a beach on Nantucket. With no lifeguards on duty or facilities and heavy boat traffic here, there is no need to linger longer than necessary, and swimming is not recommended. Recommended Rosé: Laroche de la Chevalière, Pays d’Oc 2015 (70% Grenache, 30% Syrah) - Located in the heart of the Languedoc, this wine is perfect for the beach, sitting on the dock, or when you need just one more glass. This light, refreshing wine with hints of raspberry and cranberry has a convenient screw-top closure.

SOIGNÉE SUNSET Locals and tourists alike swarm to find their way to Steps Beach just before dusk in order to catch the spectacular sunsets. This beach is located on the North Shore of the island and most easily accessible by walking left past Galley Beach. The other option to gain access to this beach, and its namesake, is located just off Cliff Road where you must descend many steps to get to the beach and ascend them again when you leave. Here you encounter lovely views of Nantucket sound as you listen to the sound of the waves lapping at your feet while walking along the water’s edge. Photos never do the sunset scenery the justice it deserves and is best experienced first hand. While it is exhilarating to watch the sun fall into the water (think of the ball dropping on New Year’s Eve), the best part of the sunset is the afterglow. Similar to this is the soignée selection of an exclusive Rosé Champagne where you love to hear the sound of the cork popping, but even more so listening to the sparkling wine sing as it is poured into your drinking vessel and then watch the entertainment at length of the bubbles dancing the night away. Recommended Rosé: Ernest Remy Rosé de Saignée Grand Cru Brut Champagne NV - The brilliant currant color with rich red berry flavors of strawberry and raspberry is delivered with the finest of small bubbles and just longing for a memorable occasion.

QUINTESSENTIAL CISCO Heading over to the south shore of Nantucket Island, you are greeted with larger waves, stronger currents and cooler waters than what is found along the calmer, shallower north shore waters. While there are numerous beaches to choose from here, on the western side of the south shore is the not-toohard-to-reach Cisco Beach. This coming of age beach has a loyal and popular following with surfers, young adults and their ilk who long to create their own version of The Endless Summer. If you happen to be new to the island and are not familiar with the beach just yet, you may have heard of our hometown local brewery of the same name that is located within close proximity to its namesake beach. Even better, they also make wine at this facility under the name of Nantucket Vineyards. Although the grapes aren’t native (born here), the wine is a wash-ashore creation worthy of your attention. Recommended Rosé: Nantucket Vineyard Sparkling Cranberry Pinot Gris. This tart rosé infused with local cranberries is the hippest way to celebrate summer on the beach and also as gifts for the dog walker, co-workers, and your mother-in-law who is watching your kids. continued on page 27

MAGNANIMOUS MANEUVERS The feel of the silky, soft sand of this pristine beach in your toes and being able to view the isolated lighthouse at the other end make the long journey along this narrow waterway well worth it to reach Great Point. Access to this remote area is only accessible with a four-wheel drive vehicle, a skillful designated driver, and a special over-sand beach permit that can be purchased at the Gate House entrance. Navigating the distance to this remote coastline past the Wauwinet is paired best with a magnum size bottle of a rosé wine that also goes the distance. This scenario requires a wine of great commitment, one for the more serious wine connoisseur. A large format bottle would also be most apropos to avoid the risk of depleting your beverage rations during the lengthy trek. It’s a long way back to civilization and there is no cell service out there in order to call for a delivery of wine reinforcements. Recommended Rosé: Chateau Peyrassol, Côtes de Provence 2015 en Magnum (1.5L) - The hardest beach to get to on the island deserves to be paired with one of the most challenging of wines to get your hands on, especially in large format. This elite cuvée of the estate comes from the oldest vines on the property and is an elegant, crisp, dry expression of a wine with character and concentration. No matter where your Rosé Roadshow takes you on or off the beaten path, please remember to respect Nantucket's fragile environment and the beauty of our island. Clean up your litter, respect private property, and use only designated entry points. If you are in need of guidance to help select a memorable rosé wine pairing with your other favorite Nantucket beaches, be sure to seek the advice of an expert Sommelier at your local bottle shop to make the most of your experience.

Featured Restaurant: Kitty Murtaghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

A Modern Twist on Irish Classics This was not our first trip to Kittyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. That being said, we are certain that luck has nothing to do with the authentic experience and excellent service the owners and staff strives to provide. Located off the beaten path and the hustle and bustle of downtown, traffic is light and parking is ample. This warm and inviting public house has something to offer every patron. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect pour of Guinness, a refreshing salad, Beer Battered Shrimp unique appetizer, or all the cozy comfort food thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sure to make you feel right at home. Named for co-owner John Keaneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother, Kittyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is reminiscent of the best Irish pubs in Boston, Dublin, and beyond. When you walk through the door of Kittyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll no doubt be greeted by smiles from the bar. With ample wrap-around seating, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always room for old friends and new. The unpretentious atmosphere is complete with multiple pool tables, dartboards, and a few televisions to watch the game. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even live music every Tuesday and Friday night. The wellworn steps that lead you downstairs reveal a cozy, relaxing, and more private dining experience. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find fresh greens at the salad bar, and the piping hot soup-of-the-day in the cauldrons beside it. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even an Fish Tacos open view into the kitchen. Kittyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boasts multiple tap lines of draught beer from near and far, and a

full selection of wines and spirits for every taste. We started off our stay with some of Kittyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s custom cocktails. First off: The Blueberry Lavender Martini. The aroma of ripe blueberries screams summer like few other things can. The first sip jump-starts your palate with a surprising combination of calming lavender and bright, crisp citrus. The Pearfection Martini, the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature and most popular martini (for good reason!), left us wanting another. A perfect marriage of Grey Goose poire vodka, St. Germaine elderflower liqueur, pear puree, cranberry juice, and a sparking prosecco float makes for one lush libation.

Irish Nachos

The appetizer portion of the menu is something to write home about: a dozen mouth-watering options, ranging from the classics like Hot Wings to more modern and exotic options like the Ahi Tuna Tartare. It was a difficult choice to say the least. The Beer Battered Shrimp were delivered fresh from the fryer, golden brown and crispy. The jumbo-sized shrimp were tender and the cocktail sauce came with the perfect zip. The Irish Nachos were a pleasant surprise. Crispy potato skins sat in for chips, and they were absolutely smothered with Dublin cheddar cheese, bacon, jalapenos, green onion, and Kittyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house-made salsa. A unique and tasty take on the perfect finger food to share with friends. The Fish Tacos, on the other hand, you might not want to share. A healthy-sized filet of beer battered cod,

golden and crisp on the outside, tender and flaky within, is served wrapped in a flour tortilla with creamy, cool avocado and an acidic cilantro slaw for the perfect balance of flavor. We also went for the Beet Salad, and it truly dazzled us. An entrée-sized mix of greens tossed in a bright sherry vinaigrette with warm roasted beets, toasted walnuts, and caramelized bruleed goat cheese. Many would say beets and goat cheese are both acquired tastes. Let me just say this is the place you should acquire them. The cool, sweet-sour dressing on the greens is the perfect compliment to the warm, earthy flavors of the beets, goat cheese and walnuts.

plate was complete with delightfully al dente steamed broccoli. next The plate we ordered might seem slightly out of keeping for an Irish Lamb Curry restaurant, but believe us: it’s well worth trying. The Lamb Curry is a new take on an old classic. We already know Kitty’s has mastered the classic Irish beef stew. This entrée, however, takes it to another level. The exotic symphony of South Asian flavors compliments the lamb beautifully. Served over mashed potato and suddenly it all makes sense; you’re right back home again. New world flavors with an old world feel. Personally, I’m not usually one for desserts. I enjoy a cordial or a coffee after dinner, but sweets just aren’t for me. This time around was a different story. First off, the Apple Crisp is house-made and exceptional. Served with vanilla bean ice cream, the flavor of the apples really shines in this one. It’s sweet and tart, warm and cool, tender and crunchy. The Brownie Sundae is

Hearty Beef Stew

A trip to Kitty’s without some classic Irish pub fare just wouldn’t be right. So, we ordered the Hearty Beef Stew. This thick, savory stew will warm your heart and soul on the coldest of Nantucket nights. Big chunks of tender beef are slow-cooked with vegetables. It sits atop a mountain of creamy mashed potatoes and is topped with a flaky crust of puff pastry. A few of us had never tried Pork Schnitzel here. Considering it’s the most popular entrée at Kitty’s, we just had to go for it. Pork filets are pounded thin, then lightly breaded and pan-fried. The pork is moist and flavorful and forktender. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s dressed with a tangy lemon caper sauce, and served with wilted spinach, summery charred tomatoes, and your choice of egg noodles or mashed potato (we went with potato). The lively Citrus Roasted Salmon revived our palates and got us ready for more. The salmon was flaky and prepared to perfection. Glazed with a citrusysweet sauce Citrus Roasted Salmon atop steamed white rice, dishes like this are what keep people coming back to Kitty’s. The

Apple Crisp, Brownie Sundae, Creme Brulee

chocolate perfection with warm fudgey flavor. It’s decked out with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and a cherry on top. The toasted sugar on the Crème Brulee passed the “spoon test” with flying colors. Garnished with fresh sliced strawberries, we even picked out subtle flavors of tropical fruits. All in all, Kitty’s is a gem. The service from our waitress, Kate, was spot on (her genuine Irish brogue didn’t hurt, either). Whether you keep it classic with the timeless Irish options or choose to indulge in some of chef David Brown’s more creative cuisine, you’ll undoubtedly leave Kitty’s with an Irish Smile.
