Anyone Can Bean Artist at AAN’s

Collaboration ExhibitThis week and next, paintings by members of the Nantucket community

will be on display alongside work by member artists of the Nantucket ArtistsAssociation in the AAN’s annual Collaboration Exhibition. This popular showopens with a festive reception from 6 to 8 pm this Friday, September 11 inthe Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street.

Most AAN exhibitions feature work solely by AAN members, however thisannual show is open for participation from the community at large. Everyonemay submit up to six pieces of work.

Now in its eleventh year, Collaboration has become a popular andbeloved AAN tradition, with every piece in the show measuring 10 inches by10 inches. The work is hung in a grid-like pattern on the gallery wallsthroughout the two-story building.

“This is an exhibition that everyone looks forward to and is a favoriteamong our artists as well as the public,” said Peter J. Greenhalgh, AAN gallerysales manager. “It is truly fascinating to see the many different way artistsapproach a 10 x 10 canvas, all the same size, and yet each piece has its ownindividual character. Because of the vast number of works, the walls are lit-erally covered in a mosaic pattern that is a sight to behold. We welcome vis-itors to the gallery to see the colorful works by friends, neighbors, andcommunity members.”

The Solo Show Spotlight Artist during this exhibition is Robert Frazier,AAN curator of exhibition, who will also give a short demonstration of hispainting technique during an informal talk at the Spotlight Series Artist talkon Saturday, September 12 at 10 am in the gallery, 19 Washington Street.

The Collaboration Exhibition will be on display from September 11 to 28at the Cecelia Joyce & Seward Johnson Gallery, 19 Washington Street, astone’s throw from Main St. For more about the AAN, visit nantucketarts.org.

As you walk around the island this month, take a deep breath and tell mewhat you smell. If you are at the Nantucket Field Station, the scent of Welch’sgrape jelly is wafting through the air. Late August and September is the besttime to harvest our native Fox grape (Vitis labrusca), which grows on hardyvines that thrive in sandy soils and covers large portions of Nantucket. Thisyear we have had a very dry summer with less than half our normal allotmentof rain of 7.41 inches. Some of the grapes and other berries have shriveledup in the sun, heat, and dry conditions, but some of the grapes have gottensweeter and are ready to be picked and used. Nantucket grapes are ideallyused for jams and jelly instead of wine.

Our native fox grapes scientific name is super “Latin-y” and comes from“Vitis” which is Latin for “vine” and “Labrusca” the early Latin name for “wildvine.” Vitis labrusca, or fox grape, is a species of grape native to the easternUnited States. It is the source of many grape cultivars, including Concordgrapes, which are the largest cultivar, estimated at 80% of labrusca produc-tion. The species is used primarily for sweet grape juice and associated prod-ucts such as jelly, jam, and preserves, bringing to mind that “Welch” jellyflavor we all have embedded in our memories. Other cultivars include theCatawba, Delaware, Niagara, and much rarer Ives grape.

Early colonists mention the fox grape by name frequently in Americanhistory. From A History of Wine in America, John Bonoeil, describing thegrapes of Virginia in 1622, writes that “another sort of Grapes there is, thatrunne upon the ground, almost as big as a Damson, very sweet, and makethdeepe red Wine, which they call a Fox-Grape.” A report dated 1638 says: “Ihave not seene as yett any white grape excepting the foxgrape which hathsome stayne of white”; John Parkinson writes in 1640 of “The Foxe Grape”that “hath more rugged barke”; and another writer in 1687 speaks of “TheFox-grape . . . in itself an extraordinary grape.” William Penn in 1683 writesof “fox grape” as an established name in American speech.”

The origin of the name “fox grape” has veered wildly and somewhat des-perately in many international texts to have been derived from everythingfrom the Aesop’s fable of the fox and the grapes to a theory that the sweetsmell attracts foxes and other small mammals. Other writers have tried tofind a link between intoxication to the derivation of “fox” as in “outfox” torefer to its alcoholic qualities, but most fox grapes have a very low sugar con-tent and hence a low alcohol content when fermented. Some 18th and 19thcentury French oenophiles attributed the name to a derisive word illustratingthe inferior quality of the wild grapes from the New World. The preponder-ance of evidence points to the name originating from a musky smell similarto a fox.

More than 40 species of native grapes grew wild in North America whenthe colonists arrived. The Massachusetts colonists tasted these grapes andattempted to make wine from them. They were disappointed with the “foxy”or “musky” odor and soon started importing the more familiar Vitis viniferafrom Europe. Wine was so important to these early colonists, that more than20,000 acres of grapevines had been planted by the early 1700s. GovernorWinthrop took over Governor’s Island in Boston for the purpose of growinggrapes. Unfortunately, these imported vines quickly died. Only those grapesbred from native species or hybrids of European and native grapes succeeded.

The settlers blamed the grape failure on cold temperatures and year-round high humidity. While these problems may have hampered growth, itwas a tiny parasitic louse called Phylloxera that was responsible for killingthe European grapevines. Over time, the native species had developed a re-sistance to the louse, but imported grapevines had no resistance, and theirroot systems were quickly destroyed. In turn, when French explorers firstsaw the highly productive grapes in the New World, they were quite excitedby the high yield and robust growth they observed. They had been told of

THIS WEEK IN NANTUCKET HISTORY

Cranberry Harveston Nantucket

by Amy Jennessauthor of On This Day in Nantucket History, available at Mitchell’s Book Corner

A September 11, 1915 article in the Inquirer & Mirror announced thatcranberries harvested from island bogs would now be shipped in barrels la-belled “Island Brand.” The new labels would also include a map of the islandwhich the writer noted would be excellent advertising for Nantucket. Forseveral years prior, Nantucket cranberries had been shipped all over theworld in barrels marked “Cape Cod Cranberries.”

Cranberries have always grown naturally on Nantucket, as do their cousinthe blueberry. Native Americans harvested the tart berries for both culinaryand medicinal purposes and may have taught the English settlers how to usethem. The wet bogs where cranberries like to grow helped sustain islandersduring the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, when all tradewith Nantucket was prevented by both the British and the Patriots. Islanderswere close to starving by the end of both those wars, and Nantucketers har-vested what they could from the land and sea and kept themselves warm byburning peat from the bogs.

The first commercial cranberry operation started on Cape Cod in 1814,and by the 1820s cranberries were being shipped to Europe. But it would notbe until 1857 that people grew them commercially on Nantucket. In 1880well known painter Eastman Johnson famously captured Nantucket citizensharvesting wild cranberries in his painting “The Cranberry Harvest On TheIsland of Nantucket.”

At the turn of the twentieth century, commercial growers in southeasternMassachusetts debated and rejected expanding their operations to Nantucket.Finally in 1904 William T. Makepeace, the largest cranberry grower in the

Red Wheelbarrowby Robert P. Barsanti

As ordered, a pile of rich loam appeared at end of the driveway on Tuesdaymorning. The loam had come from the dump, created from the garbage and trashof the previous hundred years of half eaten sandwiches and rotting milk. Givefood enough time, and it will dream itself back into dirt. By Thursday, the firstgreen shoots of something were curling around the edges of the pile. By Saturday,the shoots had become stands of poison ivy and beach grass. It would need toeither be moved, mowed, or pruned.

By September, the guests have returned to other homes. Their cars are heav-ier for sand, for mildewing towels left in the far back, and for rolling Nectars thatrattle under the passenger seat during tight turns in the parking lot. Everythingelse they left on island. The lobster shells remain at the back of the garden, wheresomeone assumed nobody would ever find them. Aside from seagulls, rats, anda few wandering dogs, they might have been right. They left dirty sheets, halfempty containers of half-and-half, Clamato, and Fish Eye Chardonnay. The fur-niture remains on this side of serviceable, propped up by bound copies of Reader’sDigest and an old phone booth. When I walk through the houses, I make up apunch list of work that could be done, that should be done, and that must bedone. Invariably, the work that gets done isn’t on any of those lists.

For nine months, Nantucket lives in screen savers, calendars, and behind theeyelids. The owner sits at his desk, spinning a pencil from tip to eraser to tip, onhold with his insurance company, and his thoughts retreat to an evening on theporch with a Whale’s Tale, a tray of crackers, and Philbrick. The weather remainsfine, the air cool, and the wicker chair sturdy. When I call him about replacingthe broken closet doors, the Garfield shaped watermark over the kitchen, or therotted, sagging chairs, he mentally puts the Philbrick down, sips the beer andcan’t understand it; Entropy is the dreamer. In his mind, everything is just great.“I don’t think you need to do anything really big, but you know,” he says. “Weshould probably put some more loam and fertilizer on the lawn.” We walk aroundin a dream until we trip over the warped step. Next summer, when he drives upto the front door, he will wonder why I never took care of the chairs. But thelawn will be well fed.

Cider Revolutionby Jenny Benzie

Advanced Sommelier + Certified Wine Educator,Proprietress of Épernay Wine & Spirits

The leaves are starting to fall, the kids are back in school, and it’s time toenjoy the next couple of weeks on Nantucket that will lead us into an IndianSummer. This is a time for us to reflect on new projects for the fall, reap whatwe have sown over the summer months, and discover something else todrink besides crisp white wines and dry rosé (at least for the time being).Look no further than a beverage that has quite a bit of New England history.

Cider in its simplest form is an alcoholic beverage made from the fer-mented juice of apples. It is often referred to as “hard cider,” so as not to beconfused with cider from the local farm stand that has not been fermentedand does not contain any alcohol. Cider has long been considered a verypopular drink worldwide, yet it’s much better known and more often con-sumed in Europe than in the United States. The British drink a great deal ofcider; the UK has the highest per capita consumption than any other country.

History always plays a role in the development of any alcoholic beverage,typically based on necessity, and especially when it concerns politics andwars. When the pilgrims arrived in the New World, cider was their drink ofchoice. They brought the custom of imbibing it with them coupled with thelack of a sufficient water filtration system on hand. The prolific, hardy appletree offered a solution to this lack of clean drinking water problem. Appletrees proved to be sustainable and did not need to be replanted, fertilized orwatered every year as so other crops.

Cider consumption in the United States began to decline, however, in theearly 1900s with the introduction of beer making in New England. It also suf-fered as one of the side effects of Prohibition; cider production did not re-bound after the repeal as well as other alcohol industries. The trends arestarting to change here in the New World—hard cider has jumped aboard thecraft beverage train. The growth in cider consumption in the United States

this musky, “foxy” smell and taste and they assumed that the off flavor wouldbe eliminated by moving the vines to the “superior” soil in France's vineyards.They potted some up and shipped them back to France. Indeed the grapeskept their high yield and robust growth....but, the flavor was still foxy. Whatwas not clear at first was that the potted grapes from North America alsobrought the Phylloxera to France. The French grape hosts had no defenseagainst the exotic alien aphid and the vines started dying rapidly. Germanyand Italy closed their borders and trade with France in a vain attempt to keepout the pest. Thousands of acres of vineyards were lost. The solution wasfound in grafting, or joining the aphid-resistant rootstock of the fox grape toVitis vinifera. Today all European grape varieties are grown on the roots oftheir American cousins. Unfortunately, this same cycle of pest exchange maybe occurring again as the parasitic leafhopper, Erythroneura vulnerata, whichoccurs on our fox grape has been recently observed for the first time in Eu-rope.

The fox grape is a liana (a woody plant with a vine-like growth form). Itis characteristic of the fox grape to have vines that have tendrils on everynode of the cane (alternated with clusters). Fox grape vines can climb higherand grip trees and other woody plant species tighter, which leads to their“kudzu” type draping over plants on the island. Fox grape can creep overeverything in its path, and can engulf and even knock down shrubs such asbayberry (Morella pensylvanica aka Myrica pensylvanica) and red cedar (Junipe-rus virginiana). Tendrils are specially adapted organs that help vines climb.Tendrils are thigmotropic: that is, when one touches an object such as a stemor a stretched wire, a hormone is released in the tendril that alters its straightgrowth to a rapidly coiling spiral. Fox grape can have stems more than aninch in diameter. Tendrils have one disadvantage in that they can only wraparound relatively small stems. The large grape vines in mature forests allmust have had their start when the surrounding trees were small.

The Native Americans cultivated wild grapes. As is the case for manywild plants, a large amount of medicinal remedies were derived from all parts

of the plant except for the roots, which are poisonous. The Cherokees usedthe grapes for relief from diarrhea, urinary tract infections, thrush, and indi-gestion. The wilted leaves were used to reduce breast tenderness after thebirth of a child. The Mohegans made poultices for headaches and pain fromthe leaves. And of course, the Native Americans also used the fruit as food.The natural range for the fox grape is in all the eastern states except Florida.The only western state it is currently found in is Nevada, although it hasstarted an expansion into western states such as Wisconsin as an escapeefrom introductions of the vine.

Grapes are true berries and their skins impart the color most often asso-ciated with a wine’s hue. Eating grapes is good for your health and yourheart. Grapes have a high sugar content, making them a good energy source.They contain Vitamin A, B1, B2, C, iron, potassium, niacin, minerals, pectin,organic acids (malic, tartric), and fiber. Grape skins and seeds contain tan-nins. The seeds also contain an edible oil which is rich in Vitamin E and poly-unsaturated fatty acids. When extracted using heat, it does not becomerancid and can be used in cooking. Recently in the mainstream press wehave been hearing about the advantages of phytonutrients in our diet as adefense against many cancer and heart disease. Phytonutrients are biologi-cally active substances responsible for giving plants their fragrance, color andflavor. They also help protect plants from pests, viruses, bacteria. and exces-sive sunlight. Grape phytonutrients include catech, resveratol, quercetin, andanthocyanin. Resveratol, found primarily in the skin of grapes, has beenfound to fight liver and colon cancers. It is also believed to reduce heart dis-ease through its anti-inflammatory properties. Several research studies arelooking into the positive effects of grapes on lowering LDL and total choles-terol, decreasing oxidation of LDL cholesterol, reducing clotting of platelets,lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and improving arterialelasticity. In addition, compounds found in purple grape juice and wine havebeen found to fight urinary tract infections and to block a dangerous cardio-vascular effect of second-hand smoke. Certainly an excellent reason to enjoy

of glass of wine or grape juice.A local historical link for the fox

grape comes from the book Nan-tucket Wild Flowers by Alice OwenAlbertson. In describing this plant,Albertson mentions that the pre-ferred habitat is low thickets, openplaces, and bare sandy fields. Shedescribes the vine as climbing bymultiply branched forked tendrilswith woody young branches, shred-ded bark, and leaves scattered op-posite a tendril or flower cluster thatis light green with tawny hairs. Thetawny furry bottom of the leaveswas another red herring investi-gated by other researchers whiletracking the etymology of the name“fox grape.” Albertson goes on totell us that the fruit is a pulpy berrywith a deep purple or amber orgreenish purple color with a sweet musky flavor. She was impressed by theluscious jams made by the Nantucket people and observed that a very oldvine near Abram's Point measured twenty one inches around the base andseventeen inches a foot above. Thus, the tradition of the wild fox grape hasbecome interwoven into our island natural heritage. I hope you will get outthere and pick some grapes and enjoy the natural bounty of one of Nantucketmost common plants.

While you are out looking for grapes, there are still some beach plumsout there that are ready to be picked. Last year I wrote about our abundantharvest and this year also looks to be a decent year for them; read more atyesterdaysisland.com/nantuckets-beach-plums

state, along with several others, planted cranberries on a 10-acre Nantucketplot on the island’s eastern end near ‘Sconset. They were skeptical, Make-peace later told a reporter for the New Bedford Standard Times. But by 1914Nantucket was home to the world’s largest contiguous cranberry bog nearlocated Gibb’s Pond. The company was harvesting 8,000 to 10,000 barrels ofcranberries a year from 300 acres. Makepeace and his partners had discov-ered that Nantucket was an ideal place to grow, owing part to the naturallywet and boggy valleys of the island’s moors.

The berries were always picked in the autumn, after they turn a deep redcolor. The bogs were flooded with water so the ripe berries will float and theharvest was very labor intensive. For a short time each fall migrant farmworkers from different parts of the world came to Nantucket to harvest cran-berries. The painstaking work of picking by hand (at $1.60 a bushel in 1896)slowly gave way to mechanized methods such as using a scoop (workerswere paid 25 cents an hour using the scoop) and later a scoop with metalteeth that combed through the low tangled cranberry vines with ease.

In 1916 the Nantucket Cranberry Company was the first in New Englandto harvest berries using a machine, which proved faster and more efficient

than picking by hand. The machine was invented by Nantucket CranberryCompany president Horace B. Maglathlin. Growers from all over New Eng-land took note of Maglathlin’s machine, nicknamed the “horse-picker.”Maglathlin, a resident of Kingston, Massachusetts, received a patent for hismachine the following year.

The Nantucket cranberry operation was part of a cooperative of growersin Southeastern Massachusetts who produced two-thirds of the nation’s cran-berry crop by 1914. Every grower received a share in the company and theirsuccess grew tenuous during World War I, when a sugar shortage preventedfood manufacturers and home cooks from making cranberry products forThanksgiving. By 1930, three large Massachusetts cranberry growers mergedto form the Ocean Spray cooperative, which is still in business today.

For much of its history of commercial growing, the supply of cranberrieshas exceeded the demand for them, which has resulted in very slim profitmargins and extreme competition among growers. The business was furtherhurt by a 1959 contamination recall by the federal government when thatyear’s crop was tainted by the herbicide aminotriazole. Suffering from theloss of millions of dollars, growers learned to rebrand by creating new prod-ucts like cranberry apple juice and by promoting cranberries at all times ofthe year, not just during the Thanksgiving holiday.

A 1962 federal marketing order stabilized the volatile cranberry marketby coordinating supply and demand, although the problem of oversupply stillplagues growers.

On Nantucket the cranberry bogs changed owners many times until 1969when island residents Roy Larsen, Walter Beinecke Jr., and Arthur Dean pur-chased them, along with more than seven hundred acres of undeveloped landsurrounding it. The men gave the land to the Nantucket Conservation Foun-dation (NCF) so that the NCF could generate income from the bogs. Today,the NCF cultivates twenty-four separate cranberry bogs totaling 195 acresand produces nearly 2 million pounds of cranberries every year. Part of theyield also comes from the NCF’s organic operation at the Windswept Bog.

The Nantucket Conservation Foundation celebrates the cranberry harvestwith a free one-day festival: this year it will be held on Saturday, October 10from 11 am to 4 pm at the Milestone Cranberry Bog, 220 Milestone Road.

is largely due to the increase in its domestic production.While hard cider can be made from any type of apples, those considered

cider apples produce a juice when pressed that is tart and dry, yet sweet. Thismakes them perfect for making cider, but awful for eating as is. The best arenaturally fermented using fresh pressed apple juice, not from concentrate.Look for a cider that sources their apples from a local orchard. Many of themalso donate their pressed apples to local farmers for animal feed. Think ofthis concept as “branch-to-bottle,” similar to the farm-to-table concept.

Cider making is very similar to the process of making wine. Once the ap-ples are harvested, they are ground to make a pomace. This pulp is thentransferred to a press where the juice is extracted. Ale or wine yeast is addedto the juice, which then goes through a lengthy fermentation process in whichthe sugar is converted to alcohol. Because fermentation is done at a lowertemperature (40-60 degrees F) in order to maintain the delicate aromas, itcan sometimes take up to three months in order for the process to be com-pleted.

Some ciders will be clear after production and not need any filtration. Ayeast that would be used for producing Champagne or wine will produce amore clear cider, where using an ale yeast will produce a cider that is typicallycloudy. Mass produced ciders are typically filtered and tend to look like crisp,dry sparkling wine, whereas artisanal producers make cider with a strongerflavor and some color or cloudiness.

Before all the sugar is fermented completely dry, the juice is “racked” byseparating the juice from the yeast. This stops any further fermentation andallows the finished product to achieve the desired sweetness. The sweeterthe cider (some have as much as 23g of sugar), the lower the alcohol. In theopposite direction, the less sugar you find in your cider translates into a fin-ished product with a higher alcohol content. All that being said, it is very rareto find a lite or low-calorie version.

If you are gluten-free, cider is probably the best alcoholic drink out therefor you. Plus, it’s all-natural, refreshing, and can be consumed on its own

straight from the bottle (or can). Ciders have higher acidity than most hoppybeers that are difficult to pair with food, making cider a great match with sev-eral types of cuisine. This acidity also makes it a worthy ingredient in thecocktail culture if you prefer to mix it up a bit as well.

Most commercial ciders only have a shelf life of a year or two, so it is rec-ommended to consume them when they are first released. Hand-craftedciders are age-worthy for a couple years. Barrel-aged ciders are hard to find,and are being produced more through experimentation at the moment ratherthan as regular offerings.

The cider production industry in the United States mostly consists ofsmall-sized cider houses that make hard cider on a regional level.

The California Cider Company, which makes Ace Ciders, is located in theSebastopol area of Sonoma County in California. It was founded in 1994 byJeffrey House, who located his business in this historic apple growing regionbecause it reminded him of his native England. What makes Ace Cidersunique is that they produce ciders using only the best eating apples for theirjuice, not the typical cider apples. Sonoma County is a historic apple growingregion for Gravenstein apples.

Downeast Cider House is labeled as New England’s Craft Cider. Whilethey make several different cider options, the Original Blend is their signaturecider, made where the company began in the basement of a Bates Collegedormitory in Maine. They eventually grew their way to Boston, where theproduction now takes place. Even though final production is in the city, it re-mains a hand-crafted cider, made from hand picked apples (Red Delicious,McIntosh, Cortland, Gala) that are freshly pressed with no artificial flavors orsweeteners.

Owned by Boston Beer, Angry Orchard Hard Cider started making ciderin 1995 and has been in commercial production since 2011. They looked tothe traditional regions of Europe for inspiration on which varieties of applesto use. Bittersweet French apple varieties, such as Beden, Medaille d’Or, andMichelin, tend to be small and ugly in appearance and bitter on the palate.

Everything runs down a bit faster out here. En-tropy has set up a branch office next to the cable com-pany, but it sends out the trucks more often.Nantucket is an island built on sand, overrun with poi-son ivy, and smothered by salt air. In the summer, hu-midity soaks the walls and breeds Jackson Pollackspreads of mildew and black mold. In the winter,weeks of high wind are interspersed with frozen pipemornings. Entropy, however, never creeps in on yourgolden memories, when the beer is cold, the air iswarm, and the only sand remains in your sneakers.

Entropy had made a delivery to this house sometime before the loam got dropped off. Inside thegarage, behind the croquet set and the beach umbrella,the wheelbarrow had received a flat tire. Amid thedesiccated mice cadavers and architecturally valuablespiderwebs, the tire aged, creased, and spilled its air.I brought it out into the humid September air, interredthe mice into the Hydrangea, then flipped the wheelbarrow over.

There is a moment when the dream remains freshin your mind and magical thinking takes root; could Ijust use the wheelbarrow even with the flat tire? Un-fortunately not, said the coffee voice. Could I just get itrefilled? Sadly, no. Could I do that fire air trick withsome WD-40? The coffee voice just crosses its arms. Isthere any way to avoid a trip back into town in order tobuy a new tire? The question answered itself. Before Ileft, I checked that the shovel remained serviceable andthat nothing had burned on the far side of the house.

Everything wears down. Everything corrodes,warps, grinds, and settles to the ground with a final

sigh. Then, in the arms of a final collapse, creeping lifeeats away at the engineered order. On Meadow Lane,a full mile from any paved road, an engine block slowlytransforms into rusty life in the heart of a blackberrybush. Some farmer hoisted it out of a car or a tractorand left it for a moment, then the dream took over, andthe island has been nibbling on it ever since. While weclose our eyes and live in the dream of what we want,the sand, the cold, and the wet take what they can.Every structure on island, from the windmill to the golfcourses to the finest house on Baxter Road may as wellbe castles made of sand, waiting for the incomingreach of the tide.

Unfortunately, the waking work of our lives is tokeep that tide away. Be it measured in time, gasoline,energy, or money, we push Entropy out the door, downthe driveway, and back out onto the street. We bleachthe sheets and the walls, we drain the pipes, we resh-ingle and repaint so that our created world can remainstraight, true, and clean for another week, month, oryear. Our waking life struggles against the gray andthe cold.

So much depends upon a red wheelbarrow. Somuch depends upon an afternoon of minutes spent inquotidian toil on the mean and the mundane; eachstep placed in a well rehearsed dance. I have donenothing so timeless and elemental as moving a pile ofdirt from one spot to another: so will my children andmy childrens' children.

Sixty dollars later, I returned with a solid rubberwheel and returned the wheelbarrow to usefulness.Then shovel by shovel, load by load, the loam that hadbeen a generation’s garbage was brought into thebackyard and spread, shovel by shovel, load by loadout onto the a lawn that clung to life inches over theeternally shifting sand.

Culinary Italian apples, such as Fuji, Braeburn, Granny Smith, Pink Lady, andGala, are juicy and lush. They experimented with hard cider for many yearsin order to perfect their creation. They now have their own orchard inWalden, NY, in the Hudson Valley that will produce its first harvest this fall.

For a local taste of cider, be sure to check out Cisco Brewers Hard Cider.This is produced once a year and is available on tap now at Nantucket Vine-yards and available at Proprietors bar & table on India Street. The whole ap-ples from Massachusetts are brought to the island and processed at theNantucket Vineyard’s facility. This clear, bright, dry cider has a clean finishwith a slight bite to provide a slight tannic bite. Mike Harter of Cisco Brewers,Nantucket Vineyards, and Triple Eight Distillery tells us that their dry ciderwill soon be in 750ml bottles, along with a cranberry cider and a slightlysweet cider.

As American’s taste for local hard cider continues to grow, there are sureto be new trends on the horizon in the hard cider category. Cider has theability to have the diversification of producing single apple varietal ciders,from single orchard designations, aged in used rum/bourbon/whiskey bar-rels for an extended period of time, and so forth. It will be of interest to seeif the supply of cider apples will be able to keep up with the demand for pro-duction. In the meanwhile, enjoy the sweet, yet tart taste of this year’sbounty as soon we make our way to beverages made from the local Nan-tucket cranberry bogs!

Here are our choices for “Best Bites” at Nantucket Restaurants for 2015:these are our favorite dishes among those we tasted during our FeaturedRestaurant visits this season—appetizers and entrees that we’d love to haveagain. Some of these dishes that we enjoyed during July and August wereseasonal and have been replaced by autumn fare; some that we tried lastspring are back on the menus for Fall. We’re confident that even if you can-not try the dishes we list here, you’re sure to find an alternative that can be-come your Best Bite pick! Send us a photo and description [email protected] when you do!

The Proprietors bar & table9 India Street • 508-228-7477 • proprietorsnantucket.com

There is much to love on the menu at Proprietors, and new items areadded frequently.The dish we liked thebest during our mealin April was Chef TomBerry’s Seared Squid& Chips. We adoredthe combination ofdelicate texture andtongue tingling spice.The squid was melt-ingly tender, and wesavored the fiery hotcrab mayo both withthe squid and with

the crunchy fingerling chip garnish. A pool of cool green mojo sauce addedeven more bright flavors of green pepper, cilantro, lime, and jalapeno.

Brant Point Grill at the White Elephant, 50 Easton StreetBrantPointGrill.com • 508-325-1320

Thoughts of theSlow Braised Short Ribsserved at BPG thisspring almost makes uswish for cooler weatherto arrive now. Themeltingly tender beefwassnuggled into acreamy parmesan po-lenta surrounded byEnglish peas, roastedpearl onions, and bonemarrow carrots. Aspoonful of gremolataadded bright, fresh fla-vor. How about it, Chef Pearson: will you put this back on the menu for au-tumn? Pretty please?

The Restaurant at Miacomet12 West Miacomet Road • 508-325-0335 • www.MiacometGolf.com

It’s been a few yearssince we’ve enjoyed aswordfish steak as goodas the one they serve inThe Restaurant at Mia-comet. Their GrilledSwordfish revealed theirchef’s finesse with fish:the steak was cookedthrough yet moist, beauti-fully seasoned, andserved over mashed pota-toes in a pool of lusciousgrape beurre blanc. Pairthis with a sparkling glassof NV Veuve ClicquotPonsardin from their well-matched wine list andtoast September!

Sushi by Yoshi2 East Chestnut Street • 508-228-1801 • sushibyyoshi.com

According to manager/chef Terry Noyes, “all the really good sushi chefson Nantucket have come through here.” At Yoshi’s the sticky sushi rice hasjust right tinge of vinegar, the fish is cut with precision to maximize flavorand texture, and the rolls are shaped (not mashed) with a firm but light touch.We loved their special Double Dragon Roll, with glistening fresh tuna and

salmon on the inside nestled next to a chunk of fresh avocado, and tuna andsalmon draped overtop. A dusting of panko, thin rings of jalapeno, and tinyglobes of bright tobiko added even more color, flavor, and texture.

Yesterday’s Island/Today’s Nantucket Vol. 45 No. 19 • Our 45th Season! Sept. 10 - 16, 2015 Page 37Chicken becomes some-thing irresistible. Crispskin over succulentbreast meat, the chickenis bathed in a meuniereflavored with garlic andlime. Both rustic and so-phisticated, this gloriousdish has layers of boldflavor. As of last week,this dish was still on themenu (and still ab-solutely delicious)—italone is reason enoughto make your reserva-tions today at The ShipsInn!

Breeze Bar & Café in the Nantucket Hotel, 77 Easton Streetbreezebarandcafe.com • 508-228-4730

Salmon often shows upon island menus, but neverlike Executive Chef JoshSchoen cooks this fish! Hissalmon was presented on abed of creamy arborio ricewith wild mushrooms set in apool of smoked onion broth.Even before we took our firstbites, the tantalizing, smokyaroma tickled our noses.There was just enough smoketo be appealing, not so muchthat it overwhelms the fish.

TOPPER’S at The Wauwinet508-228-8768 • www.wauwinet.com

Chef Kyle Zachary hit ahome-run this season withhis dinner menu at TOP-PER’S. Preparations weredelectable and presenta-tions were spectacular.We’ve enjoyed Zachary’spork dishes in past years,but the St. Canut Farms MilkFed Porcelet he served thissummer was an extraordi-nary combination of tastesand textures. The succulentloin alongside a square ofbelly served with marscar-pone polenta, gigs, cippolinionions, and pickled mustardseed are savory, sweet, pick-led, crisp, tender, creamy,

and meaty. There was a new flavor in every forkful.

Rose & Crown23 South Water Street • 508-228-2595 • www.theroseandcrown.comLike all good pubs, The Rose & Crown serves amazing sandwiches. We

love their burgers,especially TheSmokehouse, butthis summer wepicked a new fa-vorite: Chef JamesTaylor’s Fried OysterPo’Boy. A longbaguette wassplitand stuffed with friedoysters, theircrunchy breadingand briny juices min-gling deliciously with a spicy remoulade and cold bacon-Cajun slaw spreadovertop. The final touch was a generous handful of hot, salty shoestring fries.

Dune20 Broad Street • 508-228-5550 • www.DuneNantucket.com

Chef Michael Getter frequently includes an appetizer or entree featuringduck on his dinner menu, and his Hoisin BBQ Duck Confit appetizer is a def-inite Best Bite favorite! The warm duck leg and thigh is painted with a lus-

cious hoisinglaze that fla-vors the tendermeat and crispskin. The duck isserved on a tan-gle of chilledramen noodlesand juliennedcucumber sur-rounded by red,orange, and yel-low cherrytomatoes andpickled shiitakemushrooms in apool of spicy“ginger juice.”

The contrast of hot and cold, sweet and gingery, and the variety of texturesin this dish make it fun to eat. Start this with a fork, but you’ll want to finishwith a spoon. This appetizer was still on the menu as of last week, but don’twait: Chef Getter updates his menu several times a season.

Fifty-Six Union56 Union Street • 508-228-6135 • www.fiftysixunion.com

It’s hard to choose a Best Bite from this favorite island eatery. Our teamwas divided: one wanted to choose the Truffled Frites, another wanted theToffee Sunday. But in the end we agreed that the dish we talked about onthe way home from dinner at Fifty-Six this summer was Chef Peter Jannelle’sDay Boat Fluke. The fish was fresh and firm and flaky and the coating offinely crushed pecans gave it an irresistible nutty flavor and delicate crust. It

Easy Street Cantina & Children’s CaféCorner of Easy & Broad sts • 508-228-5418 • www.easystreetcantina.com

We must admit that this one is a tease, because The Children’s Café isnow closed for the season. But our Best Bites pick at this fun summer spot—their Lobster Salad—is alsoserved at the Easy StreetCantina, so you won’t haveto wait 8 months to try it.It’s the perfect seasidetreat, with big chunks oflobster meat with celery,mayo, and a light season-ing. We like this bestserved over a fresh salad ofchopped romaine and freshtomato, but you can alsoorder the Lobster Salad asa sandwich. The Children’sCafé served it to us ongrilled ciabatta; at The Cantina, it’s served on a croissant.

Arno’s Breakfast & Seafood Restaurant41 Main Street • 508-228-7001 • www.ArnosNantucket.com

We predicted that Arno’s Steamed Mussels would become a summer fa-vorite at this Main Street eatery. We venture to say that we eat a dozen dif-

ferent styles of mussels everyseason, and we can truly saythat the mussels served atArno’s were different from allothers and absolutely deli-cious! The bright orangemorsels peeking out of blue-black shells were fresh andtender and bathed in a sa-vory mixture of white wine,garlic, tomato, and herbs thatwas more an elixir than abroth. We’d almost go so faras to say that the mussels

were an accompaniment to the sauce—it was that good!

nabe31 Easy Street • 508-228-5031 •

nabeack.comNew to Nantucket this season, nabe’s

menu is a unique mix of sushi, Americancomfort food, and haute cuisine. Their Mac& Cheese Skillets, offered in different sa-vory variations, are unique on Nantucket,so those are what we choose to showcasehere. Choices include Shrimp and Aspara-gus , Brussel Sprouts and Bacon, FiveCheese, Forest Mushroom, Garden Veggie,and Lobster. Each is made with fresh pastaflown in daily from Boston’s North End and

with artisan cheeses matched to the variation. The Shrimp and Asparagusversion with herb & garlic pasta and rich, buttery Alpha Tolman cheese is su-perb. And the Sprouts and Bacon Mac & Cheese Skillet with dill pasta and asweet, mild Raclette from Vermont is even better. The skillets are served siz-zling hot, topped with a layer of herbed panko for a delicious golden browncrunch, and sized for hearty appetites, so consider sharing.

Queequeg’s6 Oak Street • 508-325-0992 • QueequegsNantucket.com

The version of tuna tartar we enjoyed at Queequeg’s is a delightful tasteof summer on Nantucket, and we love that we can enjoy it in their cozy dining

room or outside on their pationext to The Tree Bar in theheart of downtown. ChefBrian Williams doesn’tsmoosh the tuna into a tinycake for his tartar: instead, thefish is spread across a platewith crunchy triangles of friedwonton set sideways into it—hence the name TunaNapoleon. Chef Williams cutsfresh sushi grade tuna intosmall chunks, tosses them

with little cubes of creamy avocado and pomegranate in a blood orangevinaigrette that livens up the taste and adds a tingle of spice without maskingthe fresh, clean flavor of the tuna. We loved the combination of flavors andtextures in this appetizer.

Atlas BBQ & Fish House130 Pleasant Street • 508-825-5495 • atlasnantucket.com

The last time we were served a whole fish at an island restaurant wasmore than 15 years ago at The Chanticleer when the inimitable Chef Jean-

Charles Berruet was at the helm. Chef Brandt Gould, who with his wifeGabrielle opened Atlas this summer, serves a Pan-Seared Whole Bronzinothat reminds us just how impressively good whole fish can be when preparedby a talented chef! The skin is delightfully crisp and peels back easily to re-veal moist, buttery fish of exceptional flavor. The warm tomato and fennelcompote served overtop adds an outstandingly deep, rich and fruity flavorthat highlights the natural sweetness of the fish. Add a squeeze of lemonand the taste is ethereal!

The Brotherhood of Thieves23 Broad Street • 508-228-2551 • brotherhoodofthieves.com

We didn’t think any of the sandwiches at The Brotherhood could beattheir Lobster B.L.T., the tasty construction of lobster salad, applewoodsmoked bacon, creamy avocado, lettuce, and tomato that was last year’s pickfor Best Bites. Then we tried their Chicken Arugula Sandwich. It sounds verysimple, but key to the bold flavors of this sandwich are the marinade and thespreads that are layered onto it. It starts with a freshly baked ciabatta rollfrom Nantucket’s own Petticoat Row Bakery (right around the corner fromThe Brotherhood) thatis split and spreadwith a tangy, garlickyblack olive tapenade.The moist chicken,marinated and grilled,is sliced in half hori-zontally so thatparmesan cheese anda luscious garlic aiolican be spread be-tween. A handful offresh arugula is thefinishing touch.
