Good morning Joey

I am not sure you know about and will be covering the "Plunge for Pete" taking place tomorrow afternoon at Good Harbor Beach.  It would be great to get some publicity for this awesome event.  Over 80 people will be plunging into the water at 1PM to raise awareness of ALS in support of a wonderful 27 year old, Pete Frates from Beverly.  Here’s the link to his page.

Happy New Year!

Celebrate the New Year, with a special sparkling wine or champagne

from Savour Wine and Cheese.

Ready to say Good-bye to 2012 and Hello to 2013!

Come to Savour Wine and Cheese, at 76 Prospect St. in Gloucester, to get just the right sparkler or champagne to ring in the new year.

We have unusual sparkling wines, from Italian Brachetto, with its shimmering notes of fresh raspberry to a sparkling Gruner Veltliner that shines with fresh vegetables (and can’t be found anywhere else in the area).

From vintage Cava to great Prosecco (check out the nod to Savour in the Boston Globe), we have it all, including the Adami Prosecco Bosco di Gica, mentioned in the Globe article.

http://bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/food-dining/2012/12/25/bevy-bubbles-toast-new-year/AJAOX29l9XD7aKsyxc4YwL/story.html  ($17.99).

I am also very proud to be offering a magnificent collection of fine Grower Champagnes, from the Thierry Theise portfolio.  From Premier and Grand Crus to Blanc de Blancs and Roses,  these wines are clean and fresh, with fine bubbles, and a subltle complexity found in much more expensive labels, all for $50.00 – $70.00. 

We are also offering a few speciality food items we got in for Christmas at 50% off too (like the wonderful Chocolate covered figs, that sing with the Five Vitners Zinfandel or the 2000 Vintage Port)!  So come in and see what you can find to make the end of this year and the beginning of the next something truly memorable.

All the best for great health and prosperity in the New Year.

Sincerely,  Kathleen Erickson and Robert Morgan

Hey Joey,
I don’t know if you might be interested in telling GMG fans about our children’s book Giuseppe McGuire from Old Boston Town. I have enclosed the press release and a link to the book trailer. Thanks to the panel discussion at the library in Gloucester last month, we decided to go ahead and self publish through amazon. In Book 2, Giuseppe ends up in Gloucester with his friend the Charles River Monster. Look for it in the Spring!
I appreciate your time. Thank you for making GMG such a great source of information for locals and wanna be locals, such as myself.
Many blessings,
Heather Smidt
