A hopeful sight on Main Street at the location of the former Halibut Point Restaurant where some renovations and spiffing up seem to be occurring. Very excited to learn what this will be!

PSP Imports

Several of us purchased tickets to a wine tasting at PSP Imports in Beverly Farms while attending the Cape Ann Chamber’s Auction in the fall. We had a really wonderful evening, learned a lot, enjoyed meeting some new people, and had the opportunity to appreciate how passionate those in the PSP family are. I highly recommend PSP Imports if you are looking to learn more about wine or have a fun evening out with friends, family, or co-workers.

Their philosophy as found on their website:

“PSP Imports is an importer and wholesaler of fine wines and spirits from around the world. We source the best available products, through both personal connections with small producers, for whom we serve as an outsourced export manager, and strong relationships with key volume producers, many of whom have been making wine for generations. Regardless of size, all of our suppliers are committed to using sustainable farming practices.  We even grow and produce a portion of our portfolio in the Tuscan hill town of Pienza, Italy.

Our portfolio is diverse and carefully curated to bring unique wines to our clients and their customers. We sell to restaurants, stores and other retail outlets in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and we are a registered broker to the New Hampshire State Liquor Commission. We also work with other distributors in Maine, Vermont, Texas and Colorado. In each line of our business, we put a premium on developing solid, long-lasting relationships.

We hope you enjoy our unique portfolio of the highest quality wines from around the world. Our offices are located on the North Shore of Massachusetts in Beverly Farms.  

FOCUS ON PHILANTHROPY

Just as we have forged relationships with small producers in Italy and beyond, and with customers here in the US, we are also committed to building partnerships with non-profit organizations in our community north of Boston. PSP Imports is proud to support organizations that are dedicated to helping kids and families end hunger and to find jobs in the food and wine business. Some of our partners include Root, Beverly Bootstraps, Plummer Youth Promise and many others

Codair Saves A Baby Harp Seal By Doing The Right Thing

Early this morning Mike Codair takes his walk and comes upon a stranded baby harp seal-

He texts, asking what is the right thing to do-

So I told him not to get close and gave him the number to the SSC Marine Mammal Rescue.

They sent someone out and the baby seal is now safely back in the ocean.

Hero stuff! Great job!

It’s time to pass the roast beef crown to Jamie’s Roast Beef On Margin St In Peabody

Growing up a high schooler on the North Shore of Boston in the 80’s Nick’s Roast Beef will always hold a soft spot in my heart for late night meet ups and great three ways/pizza rolls. As a long time defender of Nick’s as the best Roast Beef around, it’s time to pass the torch to @jamiesroastbeef The murder scene I just took part in, ingesting special sandwich the “Angry Ferg” was nothing short of glorious. #theresanewsheriffintown and his name is Jamie’s Roast Beef @northshorebeefs
