We went back down to pretty Half Moon Beach the day after the snow storm. It was sunny and pretty that day and that beach is one of my favorite photo stops. I wasn’t the only one with the same idea so you may see similar pictures elsewhere!

Often times when we think of efficiency, we fall into two separate camps. The first camp is using less to save money. The second is environmental, be more efficient to reduce your footprint. I am here to make the case that the two are one and the same. That using less ultimately costs us less, which is better for our environment. Being efficient in our homes this winter means saving money, keeping your home at a cozy temperature and using less resources. It’s a win-win situation.
Join us for a virtual presentation and learn how to choose the right windows for Passive House projects and the in-depth details you need to know for proper installation to maintain the critical PH thermal and air barriers. A focus will be given to field communication best practices.

THE MICHAEL SHAPS COLLECTION – France & Virginia, USA -Michael Shaps, Petit Manseng, Charlottesville , VA, USA, 2018, Alc. 13%, Varietal: Petit Manseng, Tasting: This wine is our heaviest white and is structured like a Chardonnay.

Pairs well: with shellfish and chicken dishes…. $29.99
–Michael Shaps, Bourgogne Aligote, “Bouzeron Les Clous” AOC, Burgundy Fr. 2020, Alc. 13%, Varietal: Aligote, Tasting: This Aligoté comes from two vineyard sites—one in Savigny-les-Beaune and the other in Bouzeron. The bright fruit notes express citrus and honeysuckle, while the palate has the crisp varietal acidity and good balance and length that is attributed to the pre-fermentation maceration. Pairs well: cured meats, pasta with clams, rich fish (salmon, tuna), shellfish, mild and soft cheeses….$24.99
-Michael Shaps “ Wild Meadow Vineyard Chardonnay”, Shenandoah, VA., Alc. 13.5% Varietal: Chardonnay Tasting: This is a fantastic wine.

Green apple, lemon, pear, vanilla, spice, coconut. Dry, medium bodied, medium alcohol plus intensity on the body. Buttered popcorn, vanilla, pear, lemon, toast. Truly a unique wine. Drink now but suitable for aging. Pairs well: mushroom risotto, lobster, shrimp and halibut… $27.99
Michael Shaps Petit Verdot, Monticello, VA, USA, Alc. 13.5%, Varietal: Petit Verdot, Tasting: Bold, structured…whiffs of smoke and dark-roast coffee meander pleasantly amid bright red-cherry and licorice flavors in this full-bodied Petit Verdot. The palate is woody and shows abundant tannins, but it’s elegantly concentrated, finishing on an earthy note. Pairs well: beef / prime rib, venison, elk, roast lamb Rating: Wine Enthusiast 89 …$27.99
Shilda, Saperavi, 2019, red, Kakheti, Georgian Republic, Alc.12.5%, Varietal: Saperavi Tasting: Powerfully aromatic herbs, blackberry, blueberry, black cherry.

Carol Shelton “Wild Thing”, Old Vine Zinfandel, Mendocino County, 2018. Alc. 14.5%, Varietal: Blend – Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Tasting: Aromas of black cherry, ripe plum and raspberry fruit combine with a hint of cigar box, and vanilla-oak baking spice loveliness. Smoothly textured in mouth, and the palate it’s creamy and round, with a finish that is long with lush jammy fruit. Pairs well: lamb chops, lamb shank, ribeye roast…versatile with food. Rating: Wine Spectator 91, Wine Enthusiast 90 … $19.99

After close to four decades, there is likely no book contained in theSawyer Free Libraryunfamiliar to long-time library assistantJohn Prybot.
This month, John Pyrbot will retire after working for 35 years at the Sawyer Free Library. Through eight library directors and so many changes in the Library, John has remained a constant and reassuring presence, busy reshelving stacks with the latest titles, helping young and old alike find a book or an answer, and chatting with patrons most of whom he knows by name.
“I have always tried my very best to serve our library patrons. That’s been my overriding and unwavering goal, as well as the Sawyer Free Library itself as an institution,” said John Prybot about his long tenure at the Library. “My life in Gloucester revolves around the Library. It is the true cornerstone of the community. I believe that libraries are precious…
