Finding America in the Moonlight

by Robert P. Barsanti At four in the morning, a sliver of a moon rises out of the mists of the Atlantic. It hangs over Cliff Road, obscured by a bank of clouds, then illuminating the elms, oaks, and eaves. In the purple night, the road contains rabbits, deer, and moonlight.

I have been acquainted with the night. Either the times of my life or the times of our country bring me out of bed, into the kitchen, and awash in the light of the refrigerator. I can no longer fool myself into thinking I can just go back to bed, count sheep, and drift back into dreams. I am vexed by the darkness. So, instead of amusing myself on a screen, I drove off to look for America in the moonlight.

At four in the morning, some houses on Cliff Road are lit. The kitchen has a light on over the stove, a lamp glows on a staircase, or a spotlight shines on a deck. Nobody is awake, though. None of the Cliff Road denizens are putting their work clothes on in the bruise-colored dawn. If they are here, they dream in their air-conditioned, 1000 thread count luxurious night.

Downtown, two taxis and an Uber are lined up by the Pacific Club. There might be fares slipping off the yachts in the silent morning, carrying their shoes. There might be a chef or a dishwasher who had to stay late. There might be a fare.

I knew the two taxi drivers, but not the Uber. We talked. He had brought his Nissan Rogue over two days ago. Last year, he said, he made almost $12,000 over Fourth of July week. I asked “Where was he going to sleep?�

He patted the roof of the car. I wished him well.

At the Stop and Shop, both sets of doors were open as a crew re-stocked the shelves. They pulled the pallets of fruit in and set up the grapes, apples,

THEATRE REVIEW

The Game is Afoot at White Heron Theatre

by Catherine Macallister The stage at White Heron is set: wallpaper in crimson red reminiscent of parlors, a single light post at center stage, and the silhouetted outline of famed detective Sherlock Holmes provides a back drop for the beginning of Hound of the Baskervilles. We meet Sir Charles Baskerville (Joe Delafield) as he runs through the Dartmoor in Devonshire. Sir Charles is attempting to escape the ominous spectral hound that has haunted and hunted the Baskerville family, and collapses to floor with dramatic flair, dead. Just as you think the play will continue on, “STOP” is yelled from the wings where Watson (Mark Price) and Sherlock (Dan Domingues) emerge, stopping the production for a hilarious chat and warning to audience members who too may find themselves afraid of the hound.

Once the play resumes, it becomes clear that this is no traditional telling of Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and instead a humorous adaptation by Steven Canny & John Nicholson. The plot stays true to the original (mostly) offering the mystery and adventure that are often associated with Sherlock Holmes. The mystery follows Sherlock Holmes and John Watson as they try to figure out who is controlling the gigantic supernatural hound that is killing off the family of their newest client, Sir Henry Baskerville.

Everyone is a suspect, especially when the trio arrives in Dartmoor at Sir Henry’s family residence, Baskerville Manor. With Sherlock still in London, continued on page 15

Nantucket is a resilient community. Historically, we have weathered many storms and come back; the great fire of 1846, the end of the whaling industry, and countless hurricanes, a sewer main break.

Predicted sea level rise, erosion, shifting sands, and other climate changerelated impacts are now testing the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resiliency in ways never imagined. Not only will our community need to be resilient, but so will our infrastructure, economy, natural environment, and the rest of island life.

As an island, we have an opportunity to affect our own response to the rising tides. Nantucket is working to be a leader in coastal planning action.

The beginning of these efforts was highlighted last week when experts from around the globe gathered on Nantucket for not one, but two back-to-back conferences focused around the issue of coastal resiliency.

So, what is coastal resiliency? Generally, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ability of a community to recover after extreme events (such as storms, flooding, heat waves, and toxic blooms) rather than simply reacting to impacts. One of the things the Town of Nantucket and others are doing to get ahead of the curve is to learn from other communities and experts.

On June 26, the 2nd Nantucket Coastal Conference (NCC) was held in the Nantucket Atheneum. This free conference was open to the general public, so anyone could register and learn about this important issue in our community. Organized by the Sea Grant program and the Massachusetts Center for Coastal Zone Management, the NCC kicked off with a keynote by the Puerto Rican head of Sea Grant, Professor Ruperto Chaparro. We have a lot to learn from our fellow island tourism community.

Prof. Chaparroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main message to the riveted audience? Get to know your neighbors. We are our own best resource. After the devastation left by hurricane Maria in September of 2017, the island has yet to fully recover. He particularly noted the difficulty of the elderly and disenfranchised in getting information and assistance in the immediate aftermath of the storm. From his footage of the shoreline in the days after the hurricane, you can see the failure of sea walls and concrete foundations, but you can also note the green jewels of resilient natural areas. Storms like Maria are predicted to increase in size and number with global climate change. Hopefully Nantucket can learn from other communities before we get a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mariaâ&#x20AC;? of our own.

Multiple speakers presented about new models of coastal change taking into account waves and wind, water flow, and risk assessmentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all leading to planning. Because since we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop climate change or sea level rise, we have to plan for it. Nantucket, it seems, now has three choices left: protection, adaptation, or retreat. Based on the presentations from experts (local and those from far afield) and town officials, it looks like we will be using a combination of these choices across the island.

I gave a talk on work that is a collaboration between the Linda Loring Nature Foundation and Dr. Jen Karberg from the Nantucket Conservation Foundation. This talk steered away from the built environment and infrastructure and focused, instead, on the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural areas as a feature to help mitigate the effects of sea level rise. This research uses mapping and publically available data to prioritize conservation management in light of continued on page 26

Hands-On, Unique New Kids’ Program Offered by MMA

AT T H E WAU W I N E T

DECK DINING. AS CLOSE TO PERFECT AS IT GETS.

From the first Native American inhabitants of the island, to the arrival of colonial settlers and the whaling industry, to the life of Maria Mitchell, America’s first professional female astronomer, Nantucket is rich in history. In the spirit of Maria Mitchell’s belief in learning by doing, “A Walk Through Nantucket” will immerse children in this history through hands-on experiences.

New this summer, this camp hosted by the Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association (MMA )will include crafts, games, exploration of the island, and many more interactive activities all focusing on life on Nantucket during the 19th century. Children will make butter, create their own journals, weave small baskets, make yarn dolls, and marbleize paper, to name just a few of the many activities.

Designed for children ages 7-10, the program will be offered from July 812 and from August 5-9. It will run from 10 am to 3 pm during both weeks.

This program is limited to ten children and costs $400 for MMA Members and $475 for non-members. Each child should bring a snack, lots of water, and a lunch each day. Parents can pre-register their children for the program online at mariamitchell.org.

The Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association (MMA) is a private non-profit organization. Founded in 1902, the MMA works to preserve the legacy of Nantucket native astronomer, naturalist, librarian, and educator, Maria Mitchell. The Maria Mitchell Association operates two observatories, a natural science museum, an aquarium, a research center, and preserves the historic birthplace of Maria Mitchell. A wide variety of science and history-related programming is offered throughout the year for people of all ages.

ISLAND PAIRINGS

Blancs and Boats

by Jenny Benzie, Advanced Sommelier of Épernay Being on the waters of Nantucket can be life changing. The warmth of the sun on your skin, the smell of the ocean in your system, the feel of the salt water pulsing through your veins. The same can be said about an epiphany wine drinking experience. You remember the place where you had that first sip, can visualize who you shared the bottle with, and will never forget the aroma and taste of the wine as you swirled it around in your mouth.

The beauty of boats and wines are both oft celebrated based on their craftsmanship and the elevated experience they can exude. Advanced Sommelier Jenny Benzie offers a selection of sips to pair with your next sailing vessel as you lean into summer on Nantucket.

WHAT DOES

THE

FOX SAY?

Winemaker Kelley Fox has been quietly making wine in the Willamette Valley for more than two decades. Having honed her skill not through textbooks or working in other regions, she instead choose to work with the pioneers and experts in Oregon who had paved the way for the region itself.

Similar to a boat making craftsman who had carves a cutter sailboat, her operation is small and is designed for being good at what it is meant to do versus capacity or largeness. A traditional cutter is a smaller sailing ship with a single mast. In this case, Pinot Noir is the main focus, with Pinot Blanc as one of its headsails.

Kelley Fox Pinot Blanc Freedom Hill Vineyard 2018 is a true 100% Pinot Blanc with no other grape variety added to it. It is made in the same way that most winemakers would make Chardonnay—whole cluster pressing for more texture and character, settling in a tank for several days before racking to create more depth and layers, then fermented in used oak barrels (never new) for roundness and richness on the palate.

strawberries in the electric dark. Twenty or so cars dotted the parking lot; most seemed emptyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the drivers had gone into the Chicken Box before being drunkenly flung out into the night. But work vans were tucked into shadowy corners, with cardboard covering the windows. Pickup trucks lined the back row, three with sleepers fully reclined. I turned off my lights until I was back on the road.

On the Polpis Road, one lone bicyclist pedaled out to work in Sconset.

He was practiced and equipped with a helmet and lights fore and aft; this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the first time he had pedaled to work before the dawn. The deer darted out of his way as he followed the moonlight.

Out on Baxter Road, a painting crew filled a house with light as they finished the interior coat. You could hear the seconds tick by in the rush of blowers and the tick of the heat lamps. The rest of the road slept to the lullaby of the sprinklers. I turned back to town.

At the high school, a sole fire truck silently flashed through the intersection and sedately rolled out to Surfside. Somewhere an alarm had tripped and they rolled without the benefit of paramedics, police, or speed. I followed at a distance until they turned right and headed to the hostel. Nothing was burning tonight.

No parties remained at Nobadeer. The airport was lit for a landing, but no planes were in sight or in earshot. Out to sea, just before the horizon, seven trawlers crawled to the west. Their decks were lit and, even at this distance, the winches labored. Squid, perhaps. Not cod, not haddock, not any of the other species that have been stripped off of the bottom of the Atlantic. They were fishermen though, full of hope, pulling wages out of the ocean. If squid pays, squid it would be.

We can only see America clearly in the moonlight. America is not flags, bunting, and fireworks. We have been fooled into believing that sunlight and streetlights illuminate the true nature of our country: the summer house afloat in a pond of hydrangea and roses, the Weber Genesis 20 burger grill, the smilcontinued on page 13

ing sun-burned children dancing on the Belgian block at Cisco Brewers. Instead, the real America works in the early morning moonlight. America hopes to have a big week driving, hopes to finish painting this room by dawn, hopes to catch enough squid. America hopes.

At our best, we bet on ourselves in America. We put our time and money down on a chance, and we try to make it work. We follow the moonlight.

Nothing is more American than signing up with a sharkish company like Uber, spending your own money to bring your car over on the boat, then hoping in the blueblack dawn for a fare. Everyone who was awake at four in the morning, except me, was betting on themselves and hoping.

Not everyone believes in that hope. Many want to build walls and cages.

Others just want to grab as much as they can grab in the bright noontime sun and hold on. They will poison that hope, leech it, drain it, and walk away counting their money.

But the believers are in the parking lot, in tents, and on the boats, betting on themselves.

As the dawn grew, the moon faded. The dog walkers emerged with their sensible sneakers and green poop bags. The runners and riders started exercising on the bike paths. The trucks and cars awoke and rolled to the boat. The moon hid behind a bank of clouds, and then faded in the expansive blue. The day swung into action. Golfers and sailors and tennis players and surfers and fishermen headed out into the sunlight.

The true Americans remain, full of hope and caffeine, working in the background and following photo by Tom Griswold the moonlight.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s New from page 5

The Flight of Icarus + Co The Greek myth of Icarus and Daedalus is a tale of overreaching ambition, discovery, and creativity, admirable traits and something that Icarus+Co owners have taken ownership of. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What if, instead of plunging to the bottom of the ocean, Icarus landed on a magical little island called Nantucket?â&#x20AC;? says the Icarus website, a curious and enticing inspiration for the new shop on Old South Wharf.

Owners Krys DeMauro and Caroline Mullen, high-school friends who are now business partners, have created a jewelry, art, and home collections that offer timeless pieces for customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are both very drawn to the ocean and nature, and this island is a constant source of inspiration,â&#x20AC;? says Caroline. You will often find the owners working on pieces and sharing their process with shoppers who drop by their shop on Old South Wharf. Not only will you get a customized piece, but also you will get customized service.

At the heart of many of their pieces is a little bit of Nantucket itself.

Stones and shells from island beaches have been carefully chosen, and often cast in metal to create gorgeous pieces that will remain a permanent part of any jewelry collection. Be sure to check out their Shattered Sea Shard Earrings and the Nantucket Beach Stone Necklace, each is â&#x20AC;&#x153;organic yet simple.â&#x20AC;?

This Friday morning, July 5, you can accompany the designers on a Field Sketchbook Class for just $25 (materials provided). Space is limited: send an email to icarus@icarusandco.com to secure your spot!

Icarus + Co. is located at 19 Old South Wharf and is open every day: Sunday-Thursday from 11 am to 7 pm and Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 8pm. Let your personal style soar to new heights and check out the new Icarus + Co shop and icarusandco.com

it up to Watson and Sir Henry to uncover the mystery behind locals like the Stapletons and the Barrymores. With suspense, mystery, and a great deal of humor, the standout cast delivers Hound of the Baskervilles like you’ve never seen it.

Price, Domingues, and Delafield effectively deliver standout performances as their primary characters photo courtesy White Heron Theatre and the twenty or so other characters that they play throughout the show.

Domingues takes on the bulk of the transformations playing Holmes, the Stapleton husband/wife duo, the Barrymore husband/wife duo and a number of other characters. He arrives onstage as the fiery Cecile Stapleton, resplendent in an Andalusian dress and mantilla.

From behind the cover of a fan, he acts as Mr. Stapleton who is calling for Cecile, before scurrying off stage to then reappear as Mr. Stapleton. Delafield (delightfully called Butterfield by his costars, by mistake) draws laughs as the nervous, twitchy Sir Henry who frequently appears on stage, mysteriously without pants exclaiming “I appear to be trouserless!” Price too, plays all parts well and delivers

the dry British humor necessary to ground the audience in the late 1800s. His appetite, outbursts, and need to crack the case without Sherlock lead to comedic blunders and farcical misunderstandings.

The script demands perfect comedic timing and physicality from all of the actors, something that is delivered from the moment the show begins. Rollicking buggy rides and hysterical train rides to the Moors, all requiring the synchronized movements of the trio of actors, will have you marveling at how much rehearsing was required to ensure that the scenes were both believable and funny. The audience will enjoy the lack of fourth wall, a separation that usually exists so that audiences are separate from the story, and instead are welcomed right into the action. Knowing looks draw big laughs from the audience in moments that seem “too scripted.” Notably, Watson asks Sherlock for a bite of sausage and eggs and Sherlock deadpans, “Watson, it’s stuck to the plate” showing the audience his plate full of fake food.

More memorable still is Holmes’ observation, “another sturdy performance” as Delafield finishes a bit as another character. If you’re worried that you won’t be able to keep track of each character that walks, runs or prances on the stage, fear no more, costume design by Jeni Schaefer has allowed for seamless transformations. That, coupled with the actor’s ability to bring a totally new character to life within seconds will allow you to see the beauty behind this spoof.

The overall effect of the show: the timing, the scene changes, and the pace, was made possible with a stunning light design by Christina Watanabe and scenic design by Charlie Corcoran and a terrific run crew. Well-timed sound effects worked perfectly with the actors timing to strengthen moments of slow motion, gunshots, and background music. Under the direction of direction of director Mark Shanahan, who returns for a second season, this trio of perfectly cast actors delivers remarkable performances that will leave you laughing until curtain call.

Appropriate for all ages, save a couple of jokes and words, this show is certain to delight audiences as they follow the zany romp of three talented actors on a cleverly twisted Sherlock Holmes adventure. Performances continue through July 20: tickets are available at whiteherontheatre.org.

For extra fun, join White Heron Theatre and the cast for a Murder Mystery Gala on July 19, with cocktails at Devonshire Manor (cleverly disguised as the Nantucket Hotel) followed by dinner and entertainment to die for. It would kill most guests to miss this annual social event, and this year one unlucky guest will meet an untimely end. Gala tickets are at whiteherontheatre.org

climate change. It hopes to shed light on vulnerable areas to target efforts for various conservation strategies.

Dr. Jen Karberg with the Nantucket Conservation Foundation argued for the importance of the saltmarsh ecosystem in mitigating for the inundation of water with storm surge and expected sea level rise. In protecting and restoring saltmarshes, we as an island are increasing the area of resilient habitat. Her work on the recovery of Hither Creek and the area of the former stilt house after the washover of 2018 illustrates how quickly a landscape can change with rising seas. What was once a functioning marsh system was inundated with sand overwash and saltwater, with much of the sand smothering the marsh. Today, there is a functioning dune system that, while still a viable community with new plant life, doesn’t have the same ecosystem function it once did. It demonstrates that the effects of climate change and sea level rise are not to be seen in the distant future, but are here now.

The Town itself has been working on coastal resiliency in various ways; first becoming a “Storm Ready” community, then completing the Coastal Management Plan in 2014. These initial efforts as well as some damaging storms and tides coupled with recent coastal erosion have led us to where we are today. The Town recently completed updates to the Hazard Mitigation Plan, is working on the Coastal Resiliency Plan, and was named a Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) community by the state in the spring of 2019. The MVP designation allows Nantucket to compete for state grants addressing issues of resiliency.

This winter, the Town hosted a coastal community resiliency workshop.

Local stakeholders came together to evaluate risks and vulnerability of our coastal community. Fifty-one people participated. The Town has posted the full report at nantucket-ma.gov/DocumentCenter/View/24242/CommunityResilience-Building-Workshop. Moving plans into actions, the Town has focused on the top five priorities for action that came out of this workshop: 1. Resiliency coordination 2. Isolation from the mainland continued on page 27

3. Tidal wetland protection and restoration 4. Historic preservation guidelines 5. Infrastructure resiliency plan.

In response, the town has already begun the hiring process for a Coastal Resiliency Coordinator. They have also created the first Coastal Resiliency Advisory Committee. The Town has also already been awarded a grant to fund assessment of the historic preservation guidelines.

The rest of the week was filled with the Keeping History Above Water symposium lead by the University of Florida’s Preservation Institute of Nantucket (PIN). This meeting had a different focus, with preservation leading the way. I think more overlap between the two meetings would have been beneficial for attendees of each. However there were several, like myself, who attended all three days.

Nantucket’s historical significance lends itself to being a preservation laboratory for the University of Florida’s PIN program. Our community has ben-

efited from this relationship over the years with experts and academic minds helping preserve our history in a multitude of ways. Preservationists are now taking a new approach looking forward to see what they should be preparing for. Using sophisticated laser scanning and 3D digital documentation, Nantucket’s historic structures are being preserved (at least digitally) for posterity.

This same technology has allowed researchers to use sea-level rise visualization throughout much of the downtown area. Many of us have seen the sea level rise projection maps in two dimensions. It shockingly comes to life

in these visualizations which are based on normal high tides. All of the images are available at dcp.ufl.edu/historic-preservation/resilient-nantucket Marty Hylton, director of the Historic Preservation Program, University of Florida, was the driving force behind these digital techniques. In addition to the stunning visuals, his impassioned speech relayed not only the need to preserve this history, but offered solutions from other coastal communities. With an issue such as climate Brant Point in 2100 with projected 8 foot sea level rise photo courtesy University of Florida Resilient Nantucket Initiative change, which affects every single person in our community, holistic approaches are needed.

Beyond discussion of predictions and strategies, much was made of education and outreach. Including younger generations in this led to some incredible student art proposals through the ACKlimate Nantucket program.

Ideas included various temporary art installations such as a beam of light across the wharf cottages indicating where water levels will be in 2100. Another project used temporary signage and water-based paint to indicate areas of the downtown that will be inundated in future decades.

In all, these conferences highlight the need for coordination among agencies, towns, countries, disciplines, and communities dealing with issues of coastal resiliency. Not only can we learn from each other, we can ensure that we aren’t duplicating efforts within our community. The piecemeal approach to resiliency planning that has been the norm, has everyone doing something different. Working together, outside our typical boxes, we will be able to deepen the impact and the resiliency for our island community.

is similar to the nose, and the length of the wine extends far longer than expected.

This is a perfect sip of sunshine to enjoy with the beet’s Bluefish Paté!

THE LOVE BOAT Christening a boat with Champagne is a nautical tradition rooted in ancient times, as is winemaking itself. This ceremonious occasion need not be a formal event—it should be a fun social gathering enjoyed by a close circle of friends. A schooner is a type of sailing ship that has two or more masts, the foremast being slightly shorter than the mainmast. The term schooner is thought to be from the Scots language, translating to skipping over the water.

Making sparkling wine is similar in that it is two-step process. After the first fermentation of the wine is done to create the alcohol, a second fermentation is done in the bottle with a long extended aging period of time before being released. Each part of this operation is important in creating the final product. Hattingley Valley Blanc de Blancs 2011 is a delightful English sparkling wine worthy of your next maiden voyage. These British bubbles are made from 100% Chardonnay, making it a rich treasure that whose taste will last long after you have left the harbor. This remarkable, premium sparkling wine is from a family owned business in Hampshire and definitely head of its class.

A spoonful of Calvisius Sevruga Caviar will make the occasion even merrier!

ONE LOVE, ONE HEART When putting your one love and one heart into making wine or a sailboat, you need to have a definitive focus. For a sloop, this sailboat has a single mast, typically meaning one headsail in front of the mast, and one mainsail behind the mast. Everything revolves around this one mast, and this is the core of the operation.

Featured Restaurant: Fifty-Six Union

Fifty-Six Reasons Why

by Carl Oscar Olson Everyone loves a package deal, but sometimes the best of everything is a challenge to find. Fine dining often entails stuffy settings and uncomfortable clothes, but not at Fifty-Six Union. Owners Wendy and Peter Jannelle have found the formula—classy yet comfortable, simple, stylish, and so much fun.

Conveniently located on the edge of town, Fifty-Six boasts plenty of parking and the some of best outdoor dining on the island. Every seat is complete with its own ultra-soft fleece throw and propane heaters take the edge off cooler evenings. Screens keep the bugs away and the lighting is perfectly low.

The night we dined, Wendy and Peter treated us to the coveted Table 56 —a grand private enclosure for those truly special evenings. It’s set apart from the main area providing a more private, intimate experience. It seats 8 to 14 so bring your friends, just make sure you reserve in advance. Surrounded by the lush lawn, manicured hedges, and other beautiful botanicals it was easy to forget about the hustle of Union Street just a stone’s throw away.

While we made ourselves comfortable and breathed in the beauty surrounding us, fresh, warm rolls were hand delivered to our plates. Crusty and chewy outside but so soft within, a pat of butter made them the perfect start to our culinary adventure on Union Street.

We think custom craft cocktails are the best way to begin, so we asked Wendy for some favorites. A nod to the couple’s go-to getaway spot, Coco & Pop’s Vacation Libation is a trip to the tropics. It mixed Mt. Gay Rum with refreshing coconut water and a splash of pineapple juice. Not too sweet and so approachable, it’s better to have a few and rehydrate while you dehydrate.

Served straight up in a martini glass, the Prohibition Manhattan is a damn good drink. Combining High West Double Rye for a touch of spice, sweet Antica vermouth, and clove-heavy prohibition bitters, the best part is a surprising splash of Cointreu adding the essence of orange. The Luxardo Maraschino was the cherry on top.

Collaborations are always fun, even more so when you can drink them.

Something Natural helps make the stand-out Huckleberry Ginger Lemonade worth coming back for. It uses the sandwich shop’s own Khemere, a reviving and fortifying beverage brought to life with ginClams Casino ger, pineapple, and brown

sugar. It’s popular across Africa, especially during family gatherings and special occasions, making it a perfect fit for any night at Fifty-Six. The drink gets its kick from 44 North Huckleberry vodka, distilled from Idaho potatoes and guaranteed gluten free. The sprig of mint is more than just a garnish, the aroma lifting every sip.

We were feeling properly refreshed and relaxed when our starters began coming from the kitchen. We found a favorite bar snack elevated to new heights in Chef Peter Jannelle’s Clams Casino. Littleneck clams mingle with herbed casino butter and a smoky bit of bacon, a squeeze of lemon bought a brighter dimension. With eight on a plate they’re sized to share, but we sure didn’t want to.

It was easy to eat our vegetables when the Kale Salad came to the table; every bite is a symphony of texture and flavor. Tender kale, red quinoa, and toasted pecans are all tossed in bright lemon vinaigrette, while cute cubes of roasted butternut squash add a sweeter, softer side.

Every bite is a balancing act of earthy brightness.

An old reliable for some of us, if you have yet to try the Curried Mussels, make your reservations now. The beautiful blue-black bivalves are piled high in a luscious yellow Thai curry broth with a splash of green from fresh scallions.

Dig through to reveal the ginger rice within, transforming the dish into a savory soup when the mussels are gone.

Our favorite first of the evening was the sweet, savory, crisp, and cool Melon & Prosciutto. Perfect for the warm nights already upon us, compressed watermelon shares the plate with prosciutto, chèvre, basil, and a sticky sweet balsamic drizzle. The melon is vacuum sealed with sea salt and St. Germaine to enhance its ripe summery sweetness— we’ll have a hard time enjoying this seasonal treat without these accompaniments moving forward.

Wendy and Peter are a force on Nantucket; the definitive power couple.

France, his “mast” is Chenin Blanc. He is the leader in the biodynamic viticulture with an aim of not making just good wine, but true wine. His vineyard dates back to the Cistercian monks, and winemaking has been continuously practiced here for centuries. Nicolas Joly Les Vieux Clos Savenièrres 2014 is 100% Chenin Blanc and is certified organic and biodynamic agriculture. This makes for a wine that is made in the vineyard, with minimal intervention in the cellar. Its maturation is evident in aromas of spice and floral components.

The palate is slighty nutty, with baked quince, and a richness of texture.

A delightful accompaniment to Nettle Meadow Simple Sheep cheese from New Hampshire.

SAILING TAKES ME AWAY Sometimes you simply just want to cruise along the waters of the south shore of Nantucket. A ketch is a common rig for cruising sailboats and perfect for just such an occasion. It has two masts, one being a traditional mainmast as on a sloop, plus a smaller mast in the rear of the boat called the mizzenmast.

Le Blanc Sec de Suduiraut Bordeaux 2016 is a bright, aromatic expression of Sauvignon Blanc from France and perfect for cruising around in the afternoon. The history of the chateau is known as a dessert wine producer of the same grape. In more modern times, they made a significant investment in their vineyards and began to experiment with dry wine production, hence this gem. It has explosive aromas of tropical fruits on the nose. The palate has a slightly waxy texture and is full of racy acidity that will leave you wanted to return to your glass time and time again.

Matiz Small Sardines, tinned in olive oil, would be a tasty treat with this wine!

Wherever your sailing adventures take you around the island, be sure to practice your safe boating skills. Or put yourselves in the hands of an expert, and go sailing on the Endeavor with Captain James Genthner (508-228-5585 or EndeavorSailing.com). Enjoy a toast to the good life of the island and cheers to summer!
