All in Wine Review
Hidden behind the masses of blue and white hydrangeas, nautical structures and cobblestone streets dating back to the 1800’s, are fabulous wine cellars that make up some of the best wine lists on Nantucket Island, or as vacation goers say “on island.” Here are 5 great wine lists not to miss on your next visit ACK!
Being at the epicenter of COVID-19 in Manhattan it’s hard not to reminisce about the summers spent outside at restaurants sipping on bottles of rosé on ice with friends and family. Although we are not doing that anytime in the foreseeable future, I’m still going about my usual routine to get ready for summer sipping by trying a few different rosés and stocking up on the ones I like.
From Plated to Stitch Fix to FitFabFun boxes, box of the month clubs are continuing to be hyped and innovated, bringing new products conveniently to your door. They allow you to experiment and try out (and on) new things that you wouldn’t necessarily purchase, are hard to find or didn’t know you needed!
Following suit, wine clubs are starting to become more and more popular due to delivery convenience and the element of surprise. Now you are able to experience a wine straight from your favorite Napa Valley Vineyard in the comfort of your NYC home! While the vineyard to home concept has been around for a while, small start-ups and even wine stores are starting to adapt to the “box of the month club” culture giving us winos more of a reason to explore the world of wine outside of our go-to.
If you are a consistent follower of @winefarer you will know that I love trying and discovering new wines. Stemmari offers the flavors of Sicily in a bottle (sounds cheesy but it’s true) and I’d relate that back to the fact that they embrace their natural environment and treat it like how we all should be treating ourselves - with the utmost respect.

Dust off your finest crystal, stock up on hot coco, grab your favorite bottle of vino and pick-up (or cut) your holiday tree to celebrate the most festive time of the year! Easy as that, right? WRONG. The tree is my biggest challenge. Not the making the trip to my local vendor on York Avenue part but figuring out how to start decorating. I’ve literally been giving it a Charlie Brown “confused” face whilst drinking some bubbly for a week not knowing where to start. I took to instagram for holiday tree inspo and stumbled upon Holiday Workroom (our holiday savior). Here is their story + holiday wines to pair!
