Growing up in Pigeon Cove was truly magical. We had the quarries and Dogtown behind us with the Tool Company hammers and ocean in front. Riding our bikes ‘in to town’ was a big adventure.
Seeing the Motif was never casual. Its red siding dotted with colorful buoys sitting stop the harbor reassured me that I belonged to Cape Ann and the sea. It’s grip has never let go.
In the early 70’s our neighbor had secured MOTIF 1 on his Mass plate and even made it into the GD Times when he did do. I thought that was pretty cool, even as a kid.
After moving to CA in the 90’s I decided I was going to have the same plate. I researched and found that it was available despite the fact that one of the guy’s sons lives down in Laguna Beach.
So thanks for the sticker. It will sit proudly next to the MOTIF 1 plate and my UMass alumni sticker. Once a townie always a townie.

WINES
Westport River Winery, Westport, Massachusetts
We’re pouring three wines from Westport River Winery, which is on the southeast coast of Massachusetts and is owned and operated by the Russell Family. They have been producing wine since 1986. On 80 acres of farmland near the Westport River, Westport River produces approximately 10,000 cases of wine a year, including their signature traditional method sparkling wines, whites, reds, and vermouth.
This Mayflower Rosé has a powerful aromatic nose of orange
marmalade, toast, strawberry jam, and bread dough. It is rich and toasty, with bright notes of cherry, strawberry, tangy mandarin orange and yellow peach. With its clean and lingering flavors, it is reminiscent of classic aged Champagne, finishing with a touch of nutty sherry and caramel. Powerful, mouth-filling fruit flavors are nevertheless crisp and balanced. Pairs well with richer foods such as garlic sausages and charcuterie. $36.99
Mayflower Pinot Gris
Varietal: Pinot Gris Alc. 12.6%
Aromas of white peach, ripe yellow apple, and sweet anise hint at the complexity of this wine. Smooth, balanced, and rich, this Pinot Gris takes advantage of grapes grown on Long Island to produce a classic example of this popular grape variety. Ripe, unoaked, textured, and silky on the finish. Pairs well with quiche, shellfish, spicy Indian and Asian cuisine. $27.99
Silk & Spice is a tribute to the spirit of adventure shown by the
Portuguese navigators who explored the globe in the 15th century and discovered the commercial silk and spice routes. Silk Route celebrates its namesake and is a smooth, ruby-colored red wine with aromas of red fruit, white chocolate, and vanilla. It has a finish that is both silky and smooth. Pairs well with cured meats, lamb, pork. $14.99
Evesham Wood Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, Oregon
Varietal: Pinot Noir Alc. 13%
Nestled on a lower terrace of the Eola-Amity Hills’ eastern slope in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, this 13 acre-estate vineyard was planted in 1986. The soils are primarily basalt-derived volcanic and very well-drained, thus yielding pinot noir with great structure and at the same time aromatic and with finesse. Evesham Wood obtained organic certification in 2000. In addition, the winery is a charter member of the Deep Roots Coalition, an advocacy group for wines produced exclusively from non-irrigated vines. Since 2005 Evesham Wood has been associated with the international organic/biodynamic organization, “Renaissance des Appellations,” whose members are required to adhere to rigid organic and quality standards. Their Willamette Valley Pinot Noir has dried strawberry and dried orange zest on the nose, as well as ash. It is medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins and slate, stone, and bark undertones to the subtle fruit. Pairs well with grilled salmon, roast pork, coq au vin.
$27.99
2019 River Flatts Red
Varietals: 80% Marquette, 20% Petite Pearl Alc. 13.5%
As the grape growing culture of Massachusetts matures, new
hybrid grape varieties are being developed specifically for a
North American climate, and Westport is at the forefront of
these efforts. One grape variety they are having success with is
Marquette. This hybrid grape, genetically a grandchild of Pinot Noir, has been bred to withstand cooler northern climates and disease pressures. River Flatts Red is a blend of Marquette with Petite Pearl, another recent hybrid that brings a splash of Italian personality to the wine. The result is a wine with a fruity nose, a touch of autumn leaves, citrus rind, and a lovely bouquet of spice (cardamom and nutmeg). The wine is full of bright red cherry and fresh blackberry fruit flavors. Medium bodied yet quite refreshing, it needs a few minutes to open up to its full potential, but once it does it is lively, fresh, and food friendly. Pair with pizza, pasta with red sauce, and burgers. $29.99
