On August 14, 1819, the whaleship Essex sailed out of Nantucket Harbor— Cap-tain George Pollard, one of the youngest ever to command a whaling ship, antici-pated a successful two-and-a-half year voyage; its crew of twenty hoped for greasyluck.

Their experience was anything but lucky. Fifteen months after the start of theirjourney, in November of 1820, the crew of the whaleship Essex escaped in threesmall whaleboats after a large sperm whale, “distracted with rage and fury,”rammed into and destroyed their ship.

Stove by a Whale: 20 Men, 3 Boats, 96 Days, this season’s main exhibitionmounted by The Nantucket Historical Association (NHA), opens to the public onFriday, April 24, in the McCausland Gallery in the Whaling Museum, 13 Broad St.

Visitors will follow the crew of the Essex as they attempt to sail thousands ofmiles across the Pacific to safety with very limited food and water. Stove by a Whalewill bring the story of the Essex to light like never before, featuring interactive dis-plays, multimedia elements, and historic artifacts throughout the museum gallery.

The gallery experience begins on Nantucket during its whaling heyday. Visitorswill explore islands in the Pacific and see how the survivors’ tragic tale has beenretold time and again in Herman Melville’s novel Moby-Dick, by historian NathanielPhilbrick in his bestselling book In the Heart of the Sea, and in the soon-to-be re-leased film version of In the Heart of the Sea by Academy Award-winning directorRon Howard.

“There’s no denying that the story of the Essex is a huge tragedy,” says MichaelR. Harrison, NHA Robyn & John Davis Chief Curator. “What we really want peopleto understand is that these men were not lost; they were not stranded—they wereprofessional sailors with a certain set of skills who were put into a situation andtried to use their skills to get themselves to safety. They were overmatched by thecircumstances in the end, but the really impressive thing is that they were able totry and rescue themselves. In this new NHA exhibition, we show the ways in whichthey did that, the decisions that they had to make, and the outcomes of those de-cisions.”

Interactive elements in the Stove by a Whale exhibition include a touchscreenthat allows visitors to scroll through digitized historic whaling logbooks dating backto the time of the Essex, a recreated life-size whaleboat that visitors can “board”

and sit in, and character cards portraying Essex crew members. In addition, therewill be exclusive film props and costumes from the set of Ron Howard’s film In theHeart of the Sea that will open in theaters in December 2015. The props are on ex-clusive loan from Warner Bros. Pictures and have not been made available to thepublic before this exhibition.

Stove by a Whale exhibition also features the only known remaining historicartifacts from the disaster, including the small piece of twine that Essex crew mem-ber Benjamin Lawrence made during the three months he spent on the whaleboatafter the sinking of the ship.

“There’s a little bit of stagecraft to the exhibition,” says Harrison. “We certainlyhave objects in cases, but we’re also doing a lot with wall murals, banners, andprojections. We’re hoping to create an atmosphere and a mood that evokes themiddle of the Pacific, in order to better convey the drama of the tragedy that weare talking about. For objects, we’re really excited to be able to present the onlysurviving artifacts related to this disaster, as well as very significant and rare objectsfrom our collection that illuminate life on Nantucket at the time the Essex sailed.”Some of these NHA artifacts include historic paintings, logbooks, manuscripts,scrimshaw, ceremonial objects from the Marquesas Islands, and more.

“Nantucket is the 'home' of this story and the home of Nathaniel Philbrick, au-thor of the best-selling book In the Heart of the Sea,” says Bill Tramposch, NHA Gos-nell Executive Director. “The NHA is proud to be collaborating with Nat and WarnerBros. as we tell the tale once again, this time using the objects that remain fromthe disaster, props from Ron Howard’s upcoming film, and a state-of-the-art exhi-bition that describes the world of the Essex. In addition, we will be offering a longlist of summer activities pertaining to Nantucket’s whaling history and this story,including the official In the Heart of the Sea daily walking tour that begins on Me-morial Day weekend.”

The exhibition Stove by a Whale: 20 Men, 3 Boats, 96 Days will be on viewthrough winter 2016 during regular Whaling Museum hours, which for the spring-time are daily from 11 am to 4 pm.

The 2015 Members Opening Celebration for the exhibition will take place onthe evening of Thursday, May 21, at 6 pm and is open to all current NHA members.

Island Cooking

Daffodil FestivalPicnicking 101

by Leah Mojer

Daffodils are precious to islanders and seasonal residents. For the former,they signify the awakening of an otherwise harsh and beaten winter land-scape. Their arrival seems to say, “we are out of the woods of winter andinto the shining sun that is spring, summer, and fall.” For the islands longtime visitors, the Daffodil Festival signifies the commencement of all the joy-ous happenings to come. Antique roadsters roll off the ferry, yellow cashmeresweaters and straw hats disappear from downtown shops. Artisanal cheeses,cured meats, and bottles of wine are procured by the basketful for the picnicsto come. Here, we will talk a bit about these three essential parts to a greatpicnic and how to incorporate them with style.

Cheeses come in such a vast array of flavors and textures it’s difficult toknow where to begin. My instinct is to tell you to choose everything yourheart desires, but when planning for transportation of cheese, one must thinkahead. Choose cheeses that are firmer in style; think aged Goudas, agedsheep’s milk cheeses such as manchego, and aged cheddars. When it comestto our creamy friends like brie and fresh chevre, the strategy is choose onesthat come individually packaged so they will stay nice and intact until yousettle into your final picnic spot. Vermont Butter and Cheese Co cheeses havea variety of beautiful goat and cow’s milk cheeses packaged in their own littlewooden boxes. With a little planning, your cheese board will look as beautifulas ever right out of the picnic basket.

When it comes to cured meats, nothing beats gorgeous paper-thin slicesof prosicutto, serrano, coppa, or lonzino. For picnicking, however, these arenot the best choices, as they will get jostled in transportation and end up

Balloons Awayby Dr. Sarah D. Oktay

Director, University of Massachusetts Nantucket Field Station(see yesterdaysisland.com for expanded article, website links, & notations)

It is hard to believe that 45 years have passed since the first Earth Day. Ascitizens of the planet, we have come a long way in our efforts to protect wildlifeand clean up our air and water, but there is still much to do and in many arenasprogress is being lost. To commemorate this year I thought I would write abouta momentous vote held at our 2015 annual Town Meeting when Nantucketersvoted to ban “lighter than air” balloons from the island.

Our annual Town Meeting is an interesting democratic tradition which I nevermiss unless I have to travel for work. This year 1,040 people turned out on thefirst night in support of articles to fund new elementary, middle school, and firestation infrastructure. The second night, there were 636 voters in attendance,most of whom were there to discuss various zoning articles. One article dis-cussed that night was Article 80, a citizen article brought forward by island resi-dent Scott Leonard with support from many other island organizations. Aftersome spirited debate led by island resident’s Brian Glowacki calling of the article,the vote was held and the amended town bylaw (Article 80) passed by a count of314-103. Here is the exact wording of the Article: To see if the town will amendChapter 125-2: Solid Waste Disposal of the town code to include the followingwording under section B as a subset of the regulations:

i. A ban on the sale and/or use of any type of balloon (including, and notlimited to, plastic, latex or Mylar balloons) to be inflated with any type of lighterthan air gas (including, and not limited to, helium gas). People importing suchnovelties from off-island, but disposing of them on-island in any manner otherthan being contained in a plastic trash bag and transported to the Landfill, shallbe fined pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 1, Article II by Noncriminal Dispo-sition at $50 per offense.”

This means people will no longer be able to sell or use any type of balloonthat can be inflated with “lighter-than-air gas,” such as helium. The measure cov-ers plastic, latex, and Mylar balloons. If visitors import balloons to Nantucket,they will have to toss them in a plastic trash bag and bring them to the town land-fill. Regular balloons filled with air from your lungs, tied into shapes, used aswater balloons, attached to a stick, or used as decorations are okay. The banneeds to be approved by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Attorney Gen-eral's office before it goes into effect and some changes in wording may be pro-posed at that time, but there is a good chance that the ban will hold, especiallyas other municipalities such as Provincetown have also banned helium balloons.

I got involved in this process when my friend, Scott Leonard, who is the Di-rector of the Nantucket Marine Mammal Conservation Program came to me ayear or two ago seeking support for a letter to the Board of Selectman asking theTown to consider banning lighter than air helium balloons and educate the publicabout the adverse impacts of lighter than air balloons. As the co-Captain of theNantucket Clean Team, an ocean oceanographer, and a supporting members ofthe Nantucket Marine Mammal Stranding team, this was one of those instancesin life in which a question is truly a “no brainer.” A dozen other island organiza-tions also co-signed.

Marine debris, especially plastic bags, balloons and their omnipresent string,fishing line, and nets all contribute to countless and senseless sea turtle, bird,and marine mammal deaths. Several years ago, we found a weakened, starving,

Yards of Springby Robert P. Barsanti

Winter leaves like a tenant. One morning you wake up, and he is gone.The trash remains, as well as the broken windows, punch holes in the walls,and a plumbing challenge in the upstairs bathroom. The miscreants them-selves have slipped away at dawn along with your vacuum cleaner and a setof old glasses that you had scavenged from the Tap Room. Anger falls to re-gret, which eventually rises to relief. He is gone.

The first day of Spring drops in by surprise. Jim Cantore had intonedcloudy, forties, and occasional showers in the morning, but that day, the dayof the “weather events,” had swept out to sea. Instead, the sky burned blue,the grass twitched, and the last of the February ice rose in waves. Nothinghas bloomed. The peepers have yet to utter a lusty croak, the crocuses havenot pushed through the mud, and the Nature’s first green remained gray, butthe sky glowed July. Later, the projects will be listed and ticked off, tools willbe assembled, and the busy heavings of spring will work into the moors andyard, but for this one day, moving day, you can take off your sweater and ab-sorb the sun.

The second day of Spring, however, has a punch list. The yard needs tobe raked, the branches need to be picked up and disposed of, and the screendoor needs to be replaced. I stood in the backyard, listing off the projects onthe back of my National Grid bill until I hit the number eleven, then put mypen in my pocket and decided that building a gazebo could wait for anotherday.

Down my street, others stood in their yards, making lists and takingthings into account. In one yard, the caretaker parked his Ford 350 andwalked around the house taking pictures for the “clients” in Hingham. Wedon’t wave to each other or speak, but we take attendance. We notice. Weestimate and appreciate. Come spring, we are in the Brotherhood of theHardware Store. We line up with our new rakes, our replacement saw blades,and our mulch. We nod an approve of the work to be done.

In spring, work can, finally, be done. After months of sitting indoors, get-ting heated and fed, sitting passively in the flickering, gusty dark, spring offersus the possibility of work. To be working, be it raking, collecting fallen limbs,or sweeping up the driveway, is to be of use. In the winter, you can’t be ofmuch use, unless it involves a shovel. Otherwise, the wind blows, the snowbuilds up in trigonometric arcs and the light fades by four o’clock; nothingyou can do but sit and check your e-mail. In those early days of spring, youcan make a difference in the world. All of the fallen branches have beenstacked up by the woodpile. The yard has been raked and combed. Themulch layers the flower beds. At the end of the day, you can see the differ-ence the work has made.

At its best, work is the difference between being there and being absent.The Brotherhood of the Hardware Store sees, examines, and approves. Westand for a moment with rakes in our hands and look across the street, or welook across the hedge at the work. In the fullness of time, this afternoon’swork does not hold chaos back for long. Four wind gusts and a rainstormcan undo most of what a Saturday afternoon accomplished. All of us knowthis. All of us understand, nod, and approve anyway.

Breaking Out ofHibernation

by Jenny BenzieAdvanced Sommelier + Certified Wine Educator,

Proprietress of Épernay Wine & Spirits

There is a saying that “Doubling the inches of winter snow equals thenumber of wonderfully warm summer days on Nantucket.” Thank youMother Nature! We are due for one heck of a summer!

Think about your favorite beach, how the warm sand feels on the bot-tom of your feet, listening to the sound of the waves while sitting in yourNantucket Beach Chair and what wine you will be sipping on that stunningsummer afternoon. Think of all your Nantucket traditions to be followedand new memories to be created.

Those of you who have been coming to Nantucket for years or perhapsyour whole life know that a beach is not just a beach here. North shorebeaches have warmer water, gentler surf, and often more sea debris ofshells and seaweed. South shore beaches have heavier surf, even riptidesat times, and the wind can be fierce some days. And then there is the ex-perience of driving on the beach to reach some far off destination ONLY ac-cessible by the chosen few who have the right type of vehicle and a currentbeach sticker.

To get back into the summer training mode of enjoying the beach, youdecide to drive around to a couple island beaches and assess the currentsituation. It’s not quite warm enough to spread the blanket on the sand justyet, but a quick walk on the beach or watching a colorful sunset starts toget you in the right frame of summer mind.

You may have your favorite beach that you go to all the time withoutfail. No one even has to ask you which one, they just know exactly whereto find you every day. But you may switch it up and go to a different beach,

THIS WEEK IN NANTUCKET HISTORY

Steaming Homeby Amy Jenness

author of On This Day in Nantucket History

The first commercial steam-powered boat service to Nantucket was pro-vided by the Eagle in 1818. Submarine inventor Robert Fulton had proventhe viability of steam-powered boats in 1807 when he made a successful runbetween New York City and Albany. The Eaglemade its first trip to Nantucketon May 5 with 60 passengers, many of whom were Quakers coming to attenda Friends meeting. Two weeks later, the Eagle visited again and, on June 25,started regular trips between Nantucket and New Bedford.

The fastest trip recorded was on July 30 when the Eagle ran between Nan-tucket and New Bedford in eight hours and seven minutes. The vessel maderegular trips to Nantucket for three months, but the venture failed from a lackof passengers and the high cost of operating the ship. The owners sold theEagle in September 1818 to a company that began ferry service betweenBoston and Hingham.

When the Eagle venture failed, many concluded commercial steamboatservice to Nantucket was not feasible. But Captain R.S. Bunker, a Nantucketnative, refused to give up. In May of 1824, Bunker brought the steamboatConnecticut to Nantucket, but did not win over Nantucketers and his ventureended.

In noting the Connecticut’s lack of success, The Inquirer said in 1824, “Itis hoped the little specimen of steam navigation lately exhibited to the citi-zens of this town will remove all doubts, if doubts may still remain, of theutility of a steamboat to ply between Nantucket and the continent.”

Captain Bunker tried again to provide commercial service on the Con-necticut in 1828. One day after arriving on the island, the ship started for Fal-

Brush Fires,Paper Chases atAAN Gallery

Artists Association of Nantucket (AAN) is pleased to announce the open-ing of a special exhibition entitled Brush Fires/Paper Chases, with a recep-tion on Friday, May 1, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Cecelia Joyce & Seward JohnsonGallery at 19 Washington Street.

“This spring exhibition has two facets, one stressing dramatic subjectsand the other focuses on works on paper,” said AAN curator of exhibitionsRobert Frazier. “We rarely have multiple thematic shows within one exhibi-tion, so I believe this will provide an interesting juxtaposition of styles.”

This season the gallery will host fourteen different exhibitions, but this isthe only one that will emphasize two elements within one show, mixed be-tween the first and second floors. “Paper Chaseswill feature works-on-paperincluding printmaking media, watercolors, collage, pencil drawings, oils onpaper, pen and inks, paper mache, photographs, and anything done onpaper,” added Frazier. The Brush Fires portion of the exhibit includes workson canvas, board, and photographs with dramatic, bold colors and expressivethematic materials. “We look forward to showcasing what our members pro-duce for this exhibition,” said Frazier.

AAN promotes over two hundred and thirty artist members—whose workincludes jewelry, oil paintings, watercolors, ceramics, sculptures, mixedmedia, photographs, and encaustic works.

Brush Fires/Paper Chases exhibition will continue to be on display untilMonday, May 11. The Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, open Mondaythrough Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm, is a short stroll from Main Street downWashington Street.

almost dead osprey in the Field Station osprey nest, completely hogtied by balloonstring preferentially brought to the nest by the adults.

Leonard also brought up two other facts in his letter to the Board of Select-man: helium is a precious medical and industrial gas that is being depleted, andballoons not only endanger wildlife but are also a major part of litter on ourbeaches and island. In fact we end up collecting many balloons from all over thecountry as they float in the wind from west to east. Mass releases have beenbanned by numerous entities, including the states of Florida, New York, andTexas; the National Park Service; the White House; and even Walt Disney Worldand Six Flags Great Adventure. We have found balloons from New Jersey andfrom Indiana on Nantucket.

The helium used to fill our balloons is an essential laboratory and industrialgas that is in limited supply. Because it can be chilled to almost zero in liquidform, its main function in the world of science is in cryogenics, where it is usedto cool the superconductor magnets used in MRI scanners. Helium can also beused to cool nuclear reactors and is also a very common carrier gas used in lab-oratory experiments. Use of helium is so widespread that prices are skyrocketingin anticipation of running out of it.

Last, but not least, is the litter—and there is a lot of that. This is primarilywhy the Clean Team was one of the very first groups to sign on to the cause. Fromlate April to late October, the Nantucket Clean Team’s many volunteers pick uplitter around the island. One of the most prevalent items is balloons trailing tan-gled balls of string wrapped around seaweed and other trash. On a recent trip toCoatue, Clean Team volunteers picked up more than 30 balloons in just 2 hours.Each year that adds up to thousands of balloons.

And before you start to ask “what about the children?” the average child isvery well aware that helium balloons that get loose will go up high into the at-mosphere and then to the nearest ocean where a sea turtle might eat them. Chil-dren today are more likely to be well informed about the hazards of litter and thehealth of our planet than their parents, due to no small part to the last 45 years’worth of Earth Day related education.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration identifies balloons asa commonly reported source of marine debris. When it comes to plastic bag andballoon debris in the environment, sea turtles are most at risk. Balloons and plas-tic bags, when floating in water, resemble the turtles' main prey, jellyfish. Whenturtles mistakenly eat these items or fishing line, their digestive systems becomeblocked, and they eventually die. What is worse is that researchers have docu-mented that when helium balloons reach the ocean, sea turtles selectively feedon them. In other words, the attractive floating bundles are more likely to be-come food than actual food. “Of the 41 pieces of rubber found inside all turtles,32 pieces (78%) were fragments of balloons. When helium balloons are releasedinto the environment, they rise to a height of approximately 8 kilometers beforeundergoing a process known as “brittle fracture,” where the balloon fragmentsinto long strands. The resulting debris bears a strong resemblance to jellyfish orsquid. Several studies have reported ingestion of balloons by sea turtles and an-ecdotal evidence exists for ingestion of balloons by whales and dolphins. World-wide cleanups sponsored by the Ocean Conservancy over the past 25 years havefound more than 1.2 million balloons.

The casual visitor to Nantucket may not know that we have successfullybanned single use plastic bags and expanded polystyrene Styrofoam containers.To that list we can now add helium balloons.

I suspect that is the reason why anyone works at all. A builder can drivehis kids past a house and say “I built that.” A surgeon can look down a hos-pital ward and say “I saved that life.” An investment banker can say…Well,a banker can count his money. Our ear listens for the approval, our eyes lookfor the familiar nod.

It is just another outdoor game, it comes to little more. The best yard inthe neighborhood belongs to the hedge fund manager from Greenwich whowrites a check to a flying squad of landscapers in white jumpsuits who prune,plant, mow, mulch, and professionally sculpt the yard into a magazine ad.The worst yard belongs to one of the Emergency Room nurses at the hospital.The Brotherhood of the Hardward Store should have no more weight to itthan the Shriners or the Odd Fellows. You cannot weight the measure of aman in mulch.

Yet we do. When we meet someone new, we ask what does she do?When we list our accomplishments, we make a bullet list of our jobs. The t-shirts we save are from the jobs we have had. My Big Papi t-shirt will haveshrunk to a rag, and I will still be stitching together my old Muse work shirt.I never even worked for Toscana, but I still have a work shirt from twenty-five years ago.

We want approval. We want the knowing nod, the friendly smile, and theapproval that goes with the job, no matter how long ago the job was (or if Ieven worked it). I am not my job, nor my sum of my jobs. Nor, if I were com-piling the greatest hits of my life, would I include much of what has happenedbetween nine to five. Almost everything I am proudest of didn’t come with apaycheck or a pat on the back from the boss.

On Nantucket, spring is both the longest and most frustrating of seasons.The first day of spring arrives like an old friend, the second day comes witha rake, and the third rolls in with a fog bank, then it stays into the secondweek of July. At least, we can say that we got outside for once.

allowing you the opportunity to explore the island and experience new ad-ventures.

Back to the wine part of the equation: tasting wines can be a very sim-ilar experience to your beach habits. You buy a case of white or red andthat is considered your staple house wine. You look forward to drinking aglass of it with dinner every night because you know what to expect and itdoesn’t fail you. When you dine out on the town, you order something sim-ilar to this wine that you know and love, and this is what you drink everytime you go to that establishment. As creatures of habit, this makes it niceand easy, and you are rarely disappointed.

A new summer season offers you the opportunity to discover a newwine every time you pop a cork (or unscrew the alternative wine closure).Wine drinking habits ebb and flow with the tides and seasons, always un-predictable and looking to find a new adventure in every wine drinking ex-perience.

For those who want to venture into these unknown “waters” of the wineworld, here are a few lesser-known grape varieties to search for that willbe perfect summer sippers on the beach with your friends or at your nextbook club discussing In The Heart of the Sea.

When you mention Riesling, most people immediately say they don’tlike sweet wines. The first vines originally planted in California were mostlyRiesling – not Cabernet Sauvignon. This was the type of wine that the im-migrants who came to America liked to drink. But Riesling doesn’t alwayshave to be made sweet and it doesn’t have to come from Germany. Austriais home to Rieslings that are dry, full of stony mineral flavors, and very cleanon the palate. They are refreshing, crisp, and beg you to drink more. Fruitflavors range from lemon/lime citrus to tropical fuits such as pineapple andguava. This is a perfect alternative to someone who likes to drink high acid,mineral driven wines like Sancerre (Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley)and pairs perfectly with your local farm-fresh green salad.

mouth with 300 passengers but went only a shortdistance and had to return because of rough condi-tions.

Finally, in 1830, steam-powered vessels onNantucket finally took hold, and a succession of pri-vate passenger vessels served the island into the20th century, but those ventures were notoriouslyunreliable.

As island tourism began to grow, train line andboat companies took note. An item in The Inquirerin 1854 reported on a new New Bedford, Martha’sVineyard, Nantucket Steamship Company thatplanned to offer service to Nantucket. In addition,two railroad companies were also planning to es-tablish a boat line. “A little opposition in steam-boating here would be no disadvantage to our owncommunity,” the editor noted.

The 1870s brought the first regular winter serv-ice, as the steamers were now powerful enough tobreak out of icy harbors. But the boat lines still lostmoney. Service became more chaotic in the early1900s, first as rail travel declined and then as theU.S. Navy confiscated steamships to serve in WorldWar I and World War II.

In 1946, the Massachusetts Steamship Com-pany took over the holdings of the defunct IslandLine in New Bedford . It established service to Nan-tucket and immediately raised fares, which out-raged island residents. The boat line posted lossesfor much of its two years, and when it appearedthat yet another private steamship line would fail,

the government created a committee to investigateways to ensure dependable boat service to the is-lands.

Out of that came the New Bedford, Woods Hole,Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket Steamship Au-thority, a state agency charged with providing pas-senger, car, and freight service to Martha’s Vineyardand Nantucket. In 1948, the SSA purchased theMassachusetts Steamboat Company’s holdings for$1.3 million and began service. In 1960, the author-ity dropped New Bedford from its route as a cost-cutting measure. Gradually, the SteamshipAuthority purchased new boats that were diesel-powered and sold its last steamship in 1987.

smashed, tearing off the their deli paper in messy shreds. Hard salamis andpates are better picnic choices. The salami can be cut ahead of time andpacked up in a box, ready to be neatly arranged on site. Choose pates whichare individually potted, such as the Foie Gras Mousse from Trois Petite Co-chons Charcuterie Company, whose products are high-quality and widelyavailable. Accompany your cheeses and meats with an array of olives, cor-nichons, marcona almonds, and various jams and mustards. A freshbaguette, sliced just before transport will round out the picnic.

There are a wide variety of items to snack on during picnics. From stinkyblue cheeses and bread with mustard, to spicy salami and fruit and nuts.What does one choose to drink with all these delightful foods?

If you can’t decide between red or white, choose acidity as your guide.Wines with acidity, (think french sancerre for example,) have palate cleansingabilities unlike any other wines. Wines with high acidity keep food excitingbite after bite, reviving the palate and awakening the senses. Here are someof my favorite picnic wines to try.

Bailly La Pierre Cremant de Bourgogne— This little French sparkler knowsno enemy in the food world. It’s clean lemony bubbles and creamy body area match made in heaven for triple cream cheeses, salty snacks like marconaalmonds, and creamy pates.

Cooper Hill Pinot Gris — I just love everything about this wine by CooperMountain in Oregon. It’s organically produced, it’s affordable and absurdlyrefreshing. It’s a bit richer on the palate but still has laser acidity to comple-ment the richest of cheeses and pates.

Domaine de Pepiere “La Pepie” Cabernet Franc— This wine is made by thefamed muscadet producer Marc Olivier. Light and playful with a strong min-erality that gives the sense of effervescence. Juicy, tart and dry on the finish,I love this wine with salami, aged cheeses and olives. The label is just asplayful as the wine itself and just perfect for a lighthearted meal out doors.

Daffodil Picnicking 101from page 5


If you are looking for a new world style of wine, Chenin Blanc fromSouth Africa is your go-to choice. Also know as Steen in its homeland, thisgrape is very versatile and can be made in a variety of styles — fromsparkling to sweet and everywhere in between to please any palate. Youwill often find floral aromas of honeysuckle and orange blossom, along withfruit flavors of nectarine and pear. Substitute a dry style for your favoriteunoaked Chardonnay to match a similar weight and profile of the wine. Thesparkling version, more often found in the Loire Valley of France, is just asaffordable as Prosecco or Cava for your Sunday Funday.

Thinking outside of the usual wine box leads us to grape varieties thatmay be harder to pronounce than they are to drink. Auxerrois (pronouncedOx-ere-wah) can be a tongue twister to say, but is more pleasant on thepalate. This grape comes mainly from the Alsace region in France near theGerman border and is a sibling to Chardonnay. That being said, don’t thinkbig buttery oak bomb here as it originates from the Old World and is typicallymade in stainless steel, not oak barrels. Fresh, every day drinking stylesfrom Oregon will out shine Pinot Grigio at a similar price range. They makea stellar accompaniment to the fresh oysters and clams here on Nantucket.

Whatever Nantucket beach or new wine habits you may acquire in thecoming months, always keep in mind that trial and error are what experi-ments are all about. Some days the weather and the ambiance just isn’tright at Fisherman’s Beach, but can be the ultimate experience some otherday. Take notes, take deep breaths, and, most importantly, take sips. Cat-alog your new wine experiences along the way and hone in on them allsummer long. By my count, we have 216 days of a Nantucket Summerahead!

The unassum-ing white structureat 9 India Street hasbeen a favorite forquiet romanticevenings, treasuredfamily gatherings,and fun encounterswith friends formore than 30 years— a place wheregreat food, finewine, and innova-tive cocktails makeevenings extra spe-cial. Marked onlyby a small blacksign, a menu box,

and a cast iron lantern, you might stroll past The Proprietors bar & table. That is,unless you’ve dined here before: for patrons, dining at Proprietors is often thesole reason they venture downtown.

A collaboration among experienced chefs and restaurateurs Michael and OrlaLaScola (American Seasons) and Chef Tom Berry (Blue Ginger, Temple Bar, GreatHarbor Yacht Club), Proprietors aims to be “a Nantucket neighborhood restaurantwith a well-traveled palate.” We think they’ve hit their mark with a menu of so-phisticated fare that ranges as far as Nantucketers ventured during the island’swhaling heyday. International spices, exotic accents, and cross-cultural prepa-rations bring global flavors to locally sourced ingredients with a selection that in-

cludes Snacks,Half-Shares, Plan-cha, Entrees, andDesserts.

Proprietors ismore spacious thanit appears from thesidewalk. The din-ing rooms in this re-stored 19th centuryhome extend acrossthe first floor to awindow-lined backroom and occupythe entire secondlevel. Wood beams,wide plank floors,and exposed brick

walls are rustic with a touch of sophistication and provide a cozy, comfortable,and relaxing ambiance.

In season, seats are hard to come by at the long bar at the front of Proprietors.With craft beers on draught, an impressive selection of whiskeys, and cocktailsthat are bold and adventurous, it’s become a favorite meeting spot. Ten creativeHouse Cocktails are arranged by number and descriptive adjectives. One of ourfavorites is the No. 4—listed as “Refined, Edenic, Genuine,” it gives a healthy buzzwith quinoa vodka, kale, arugula, and black pepper. We’re also intrigued by the“Refreshing, Unfamiliar, Endearing” No. 1 and the “Reinterpreted, Reminiscent,Brazen” No. 8.

With more than a dozen small plates offered, many at the bar pair food withtheir cocktails. We suggest an order of Country Ham Toast to accompany yourglass of Naia Verdejo — the freshly baked bread is topped with a thick smear ofhousemade Kentucky beer cheese, ribbons of smoky Father’s ham, and spears ofpicked onion. If you and a friend are toasting summer on Nantucket with a glassof champagne, then share an order of Littleneck Clam Stuffies. Chef Berry’sversion of this traditional island treat is the best we’ve ever tasted: the stuffingis light and flavorful, a delicous balance of clam, sausage, and seasoning. If yourchoice of beverage is a Dogfish Head Sixty-One, then you’ll want to order thecrisp Tater Cubes. These addictive bite-sized fried cubes of potato are topped

with shredded farmhouse gouda and pink wedges of pickled egg. They’re servedon a creamy Dutch joppiesaus sauce that looks like mustard but tastes of curry.

With four of us at our recent evening at Proprietors, we opted for a table.Service at Proprietors is smooth and gracious. Gail, one of the pros from Amer-ican Seasons (which the LaScolas sold at the end of last year) was attentive with-out being intrusive. She knows the menu inside and out, which is very helpfulwith uncommon ingredients like calamansi and joppisaus. Gail has never steeredus wrong!

We were disappointed that the kitchen had just run out of their superb Ko-rean Fried Oysters snack, but we adored the Seared English Peas they substi-tuted. Served in their pods like edamame, these plump packets anointed withdate molasses, parmesan, salt, and pepper are sweet, hot, salty, and fun to eatand to share.

We love sharing food with friends, and the menu at Proprietors is perfect for

a culinary adventure. The Half-Shareplates and Plancha are portioned likeappetizers, and each is deliciously dif-ferent with layers of complex flavors.Most feature vegetables or seafood,and every one is beautifully pre-sented. At this restaurant, you are en-couraged order one of everythingyou’d like to try, take a bite or two,and pass the plate. And that is exactlywhat we did.

At the suggestion of Chef Berry,we tried the Crispy Rock Shrimp“Sisig.” For this, he batter dips andfries succulent shrimp and “onion fin-gers,” and serves them with roastedshishito peppers tossed in a citrusycalamansi-soy butter with cilantro.

(Suggested Pairing: White Birch Berliner Weisse)The Crispy Pigkles look like finger food, but we love these breaded bars of

pickled and fried pork belly best with a bit of the crisp slaw, the smokey beanpuree, and the spicy tabasco remoulade in every bite to accent the luxuriouslyrich pork. So pick up your fork. (Suggested Pairing: High West Double Rye Boule-vardier)

Tico Tuna Crudo, a creation inspired by his time in Costa Rica, is one ofChef Berry’s current favorites. Pop one of these morsels of sparkling fresh tunatopped with black bean crema, juicy strips of pickled mango, and whiskeysmoked jalapeno into your mouth and you can feel the fresh ocean breeze. (Sug-gested Pairing: Mirabelle Rose Champagne)

We adore the delicate texture and the tongue tingling spice in the SearedSquid & Chips. The squid is meltingly tender, and we savored the fiery hot crabmayo both with the squid and with the crunchy fingerling chip garnish. A pool ofcool green mojo sauce adds even more bright flavors of green pepper, cilantro,lime, and jalapeno. (Suggested Pairing: Cisco Cider)

One of our favorites ofthe evening was a dishrecommended by bothChef LaScola and ChefBerry, the Seared Broc-coli. We expected greenand woody, what we wereserved was tender, meaty,nutty, and absolutely deli-cious! A thai red currysauce adds just the rightamount of heat, and thelentil broccoli stem frittermust have been drizzledinto the hot oil to producethe crisp, tasty stripsserved overtop. (Sug-gested Pairing: BansheePinot Noir)

For those who prefer a

more traditional 3-course style of dining, Proprietors has several “Full Share,” orentree selections. We tasted a brilliantly seasoned and perfectly cooked KingSalmon with hot and crunchy chickpea fries and a cool fregola salad. The PorkShort Rib “Hamonado”with pineapple-chili sauce is also excellent, and the pigear fries that accompany it will delight the many American Seasons devotees whohave followed the LaScolas to Proprietors. Our favorite “Full Share” of the three

on the spring menu is the simply prepared and simply delicious Niman RanchNY Strip with wild mushrooms and leek jam.

Desserts by Pastry Chef Liz O’Connell follow the same international path.She’s become known for her innovative flavors of Soft Serve Ice Creams (PurpleYam the evening we dined) and her “Weird Ice Cream,” with flavors that haveincluded Jelly Bean, Beer & Pretzel with Chocolate Porter Sauce, Sweet Pea,Pineapple Sriracha, and Watermelon Arugula. We love that her Hot MoroccanDoughnuts with orange thyme honey and frozen Greek yogurt were freshlymade and not overly sweet. And her Chocolate Halva Tart strikes just the rightbalance with chewy halva fudge between a layer of satiny dark chocolateganache and a crunchy chocolate shell. Our favorite on the current dessert menuis Chef O’Connell’s Lemon Semolina Cake, which she serves in moist cubeswith small scoops of rosemary buttermilk ice cream, pistachios, and drizzles ofsalted date caramel..

Chef Tom Berry told us that if his guests “leave wicked happy, then I’ve donemy job and so has the rest of my team. I hope they can’t wait to come back.”

We’ve already got our reservations for Mother’s Day!

ONION CONFITOne of my favorite things to have on hand, this simple onion confit is great

with cheese, mixed into mayo or mustard or cream cheese for sandwiches. 4 large Yellow Onions, finely julienned lengthwise through the root.

(It’s important to use that technique!)2 Cups Cane Sugar

1 Tbl Balsamic or Sherry VinegarSalt to taste

In a large heavy sauce pot over medium heat, melt sugar. Keep a close eyeon what’s happening, stirring with a wooden spoon to melt the sugar evenly.

When melted, pour in your onions. The whole thing should sizzle and be abit messy looking—this is normal! Turn heat down and cook the onions at least1 hour, until very deep brown and the whole thing is a thick syrupy consistency.Add a little water if things look dry too quickly in the cooking process. Add saltand vinegar, and reduce until you can scrape a wooden spoon across the panand the line stays dry.

Put into a mason jar and seal. The confit will keep for weeks in the fridge.

ROASTED GARLIC MUSTARD Nothing is more versatile than mustard as a condiment. For this we add gar-

lic for body and real maple syrup for sweetness. Ain’t nothing this mustard won’timprove! Try with country pate or washed rind cheeses.

Wrap 8 cloves garlic in foil; roast 30 minutes at 400 degrees F. Squeeze garlic out of its skin and puree with 1/2 cup Dijon mustard, 1/3 cup

maple syrup, and salt and pepper. Keep refrigerated for up to two weeks.

CHILI-INFUSED HONEYI came across this ingenious accompaniment for cheese this past winter in

Boston. It’s so delicious and deceptively simple, I want to try one hundred differ-ent kinds of infusions! Try it with a piquant blue cheese or drizzled over burratacheese and crostini.

1 C high-quality honey

2 T red pepper flakes, or other favorite dried chili1 t apple cider vinegar

Combine ingredients in a small sauce pan and warm over very low heat for15 minutes. Be very careful not to let the honey get too hot—you wnat it just hotenough to let the chilis warm and infuse their spice.

CRISP ROSEMARY FLATBREAD

No cheese and wine picnic is complete without a delicious vessel for scoop-ing and snacking. These crackers do just the trick. Try swapping the rosemaryfor other herbs, such as thyme or tarragon, or punch it up with black pepper orother spices.

1-3/4 C unbleached all-purpose flour1 T chopped fresh rosemary plus 2 (6-inch) sprigs

1 t baking powder3/4 t salt1/2 C water

1/3 C olive oil plus more for brushingFlaky sea salt such as Maldon

Preheat oven to 450°F with a heavy baking sheet on rack in middle.Stir together flour, chopped rosemary, baking powder, and salt in a medium

bowl. Make a well in center, then add water and oil and gradually stir into flourwith a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead dough gently on a work surface4 or 5 times until it comes together. For an easier time rolling out, let the doughrest 10 minutes.

Divide dough into 3 pieces and roll out 1 piece (keep remaining pieces cov-ered with plastic wrap) on a sheet of parchment paper into a 10-inch round(shape can be rustic; dough should be thin).

Lightly brush top with additional oil and scatter small clusters of rosemaryleaves on top, pressing in slightly. Sprinkle with sea salt. Slide round (still onparchment) onto preheated baking sheet and bake until pale golden and brownedin spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer flatbread (discard parchment) to a rack to cool,then make 2 more rounds (1 at a time) on fresh parchment (do not oil or salt untiljust before baking). Break into big pieces.

Flatbread can be made 2 days ahead and cooled completely, then kept inan airtight container at room temperature.
