A Few Short Weeks Left! We are coming to the end of Savour’s run. Things have moved along faster than expected, thanks to the incredible support of our customers who have been purchasing cases of their favorites and ordering others with the holiday season in mind. We don’t know for sure when our license will transfer to the new owner, but it could happen anytime. So, we are planning to wrap everything up with a closing date of Saturday, October 19 at 6 pm. This Saturday we will taste out a few classic cheese and wine combinations: Gewurztraminer with Lamb Chopper sheep’s milk cheese and Tawny Port with Rogue River Smokey blue. These combinations sing! We are continuing our sale with discounts of 10 – 15%! Also remember, you will get that same discount on anything you buy with your wine, including beer, cheese, pantry items, and wine tools! I know of no other business that does this, so take advantage of this while you can. That extra perk is important because we just got a cheese order in with many of your favorites: Delice de Bourgogne brie, Fromager d’ Affinois, Georgian Stilton, Rogue River Smokey Blue, Cambozola Black Label, Kaltbach Creamy Swiss and 3 classics from Cypress Grove in California: Midnight Moon, Lamb Chopper and Humboldt Fog – fresh cut and ready to go! We have plenty of olives (I made some marinated) as well as cured meats and nuts for your charcuterie plates. AND – I picked up 4 cases of Boulart Bakery baguettes you buy frozen and cook for 10 minutes with a taste like fresh-baked bread. We have lots of crackers, jams, chocolate and the best olive oil and balsamic vinegar in bulk (at a great price)! The fridge is full of New England brewery beers – from Cambridge “Lamplighter” to Maine “Lunch” and Rockport “Jetty Juice.” All that will be discounted at the same rate as your wine, when you purchase 6 bottles of wine or more!

WINE TASTING WITH ANNA GORELIKOV OF CYNTHIA HURLEY WINES
Cynthia Hurley French Wines began in 1984 when Cynthia and Robert Hurley started importing French Bordeaux into New York and New Jersey. Cynthia and Robert had been living and working in Paris and became enamored with French wine. Many of their weekends were spent driving to the different wine regions of France to find those undiscovered bottles of great wine from small family producers.
When the Hurleys returned stateside, they began to import the wines they loved, but couldn’t find in the U.S. The business expanded to include top producers and everyday drinking wines from Burgundy, Loire, and Rhone.
Cynthia relocated the business to Newton, Massachusetts, when they moved from New York City. They found distribution and began to sell their wines in restaurants and wine shops. Robert Hurley has continued to run the business since Cynthia’s death in 2011. He remains committed to the company’s founding principle of, “developing a portfolio of domains all family-run no negociants, no cooperatives, just dedicated winemakers.”
WINES
Les Deux Moulins Sauvignon Blanc, Loire, France

The Deux Moulins wines are produced from traditional grapes of the Loire Valley. The white cuvée is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, Each year, Paris Wine Company tastes and selects the best cuvées for the Deux Moulins label.The fruit that goes into the Deux Moulins blend comes from gravel and schist soils located between Anjou and Tours and is vinified at cold temperatures in stainless steel tanks to emphasize the fruit-forward nature of the wine. Paris Wine Company founder, Joshua Adler uses his knowledge of French wine regions and strong connections with producers to create custom bottlings for The Good Wine Project. The project focuses on discovering good wines at great prices with fun labels.(The label artwork for Deux Moulins was created by Matthieu David, a key figure in the Paris Wine Company family.)

Above it one can find a state-of-the-art modern winery focused on vinifying fresh, cool climate wines that Štajerska region is famous for. Varieties such as Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir thrive here and produce vibrant, elegant and fruit-forward wines.

Il Monticello Groppolo Vermentino, Liguria, Italy
Varietal: Vermentino, Alc.12.5 %
The Azienda Agricola Il Monticello was founded in 1982 when Pier Luigi Neri, electronic engineer, inherited a 19th-century house and a plot of land on the hills towering above Sarzana, just in front of the sea. As a hobby, he dedicated himself to viticulture, with the support of his wife Maria Antonietta Bacciarelli and his sons Alessandro and Davide. In 1994 Alessandro and Davide started managing the family vineyard. Thanks to the cooperation with Claudio Icardi, a Piedmontese enologist, Il Monticello first achieved organic and then biodynamic farming. The duo then joined forces with the renowned enologist Nicola Tucci who honed his signature style of slow fermentations and extended lees in the Mosel. The wine pours straw yellow. The nose is herbaceous, with hints of salt and stone fruits. On the palate, it has notes of pear, lemon, and minerals. Pairs well with fish, grilled vegetables, pesto. $19.99
Domaine Saint-Cyr La Galoche Rose, Beaujolais, France
Varietal: Gamay, Alc.13%
Raphael Saint Cyr is the fourth-generation vigneron at the Domaine St. Cyr, which was created by his great-grandfather Pierre Saint Cyr in Anse at the southern edge of the Beaujolais. When Raphael took over the winemaking in 2008, he let go of a large portion of Beaujolais vines around the winery, and acquired vines further north in the crus of Morgon, Regnié, Chénas, and Moulin-à-Vent. At the same time, he converted the entire 23 hectare domaine to certified organic viticulture, making Domaine de Bellevue the largest organic domaine in Beaujolais. The cuvée La Galoche is named after a small stream that runs by the property and represents the largest production from the domaine. More than anything, it represents the Beaujolais ideal of a delicious, joyful, and easy-to-drink Gamay wine. Pairs well with seafood, chicken, and cheese. $17.99
Pasini San Giovanni Il Valtenesi, Lombardy, Italy
Varietal: Gropello, Alc.13%
Initially founded by Andrea Pasini in 1958 as a winery, Pasini San Giovanni truly came into existence in 1977 when Andrea purchased 15 hectares of vineyards and the San Giovanni farmhouse in Puegnago del Gardo. They’ve become a benchmark for the regions of Valtènesi and Lugana- both on the Brescian side of Lake Garda. Under the current guidance of cousins Paolo, Sara, and Luca, the philosophy is focused on organic farming (fully certified as of 2016), biodiversity in the vineyards, indigenous varietals like Groppello and Turbiana, and a carbon neutral carbon footprint (their entire winery is run on solar).The winery itself is located in Valtènesi on the southeastern slopes of Lake Garda in Lombardy. Lake Garda, formed by glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age, is Italy’s largest lake. Owing to its depth (over 1100 feet at its deepest) which acts as a natural heat reservoir, and the Alps to the north which protect from cold northern European winds, Garda has a uniquely warm climate for such a northern latitude. Olive trees, citrus, capers, and cactus are some of the more typically Mediterranean plants that thrive on the shores of the lake. The microclimate also permits grapes to thrive on all sides of the lake. The wine has elegant body, with very fine spicy and fruity notes. Pairs well with cured meats, red meat, hard cheeses such as asiago and pecorino. $19.99

Joey — here are some details on our upcoming Food & Wine Tasting Fiesta coming up on May 7….
The Blue Shutters is having its final Food & Wine Tasting of the off-season on Saturday May 7, and there are still a few spots open. These Food & Wine Tastings are our most anticipated off-season events…and why not? You get to try some great wine paired with amazing dishes in a fun and friendly atmosphere overlooking Good Harbor Beach — and it’s our treat for those who spend a night or two at the Blue Shutters that weekend. And if that’s not enough of an incentive, consider this: we’re using our May 7 event to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, featuring wines and food items fromChile, Argentina and other countries south of the border. This all unfolds in the Main Room of the Blue Shutters, where you can compare notes with other wine and food lovers before retiring to one of our uniquely decorated rooms overlooking Good Harbor Beach. Once again, our Traveling Vineyard wine expert Kathy Hill and Langham Hotel chef Mark Sapienza are putting together the tasting menu for this afternoon. We’ll know more about their plans in a few weeks but to give you and idea of what’s in store, check out the items from our March tasting: Smoked Salmon Crostini; Chicken Rillettes with Apple Ice Wine and Toasted Baguettes; Fennel Salami, Speck and Duck Proscuitto with Fig and Cherry Moustarda Fruits; Meatball Parmesan Sliders; Manjari Soft Chocolate with Burgundy Cherries…all paired with yummy red and white wines (in the photo here you see Mark, his wife Donna and innkeeper Patty preparing those meatball sliders). No matter what Mark and Kathy serve up, this is definitely not your average Saturday afternoon snack. Call or email us today and reserve a room for this weekend — one night or two — and get in on this special event. We’re also offering a weekend discount — if you stay two nights that weekend, the second night is half-price! You won’t find a deal like this anywhere.
Thanks
Tony, Patty, Ed and Annmarie
Mother’s Day is coming soon — May 8 — and we have a suggestion on how you can make this a special treat for Mom. That Saturday, May 7, we’re holding our Food and Wine Tasting — you’ll find details in the post below. Mom can enjoy great wine and amazing food items on Saturday afternoon and wake up to the beauty of Good Harbor Beach the next morning (in this photo you see our innkeeper Moms AnnMarie and Patty enjoying some wine at our last tasting event in March). We’ll make sure Mom has some flowers — our treat! There will be time to enjoy walks on the beach, and we’ll also have menus and recommendations for those interested in dining at one of Cape Ann’s many restaurants – and a guide to some of our favorite spots for drinks, shopping and entertainment while you’re here. Of course it would be even more special if you were there as well — or maybe you want to treat yourself to a Mother’s Day getaway. No matter who comes along, it’s sure to be a special weekend. And we’re making it even easier to spend a few days here — book a room Saturday and get Friday night at half-price. Call and make a reservation while there’s still space left.
