Nantucket Wine Festival: Another Sure Sign of Summer

Posted 04/30/2009 at 10:28 AM by Cathy

There are certain surefire signs that summer is not far off.

The sun is up before you are.

You're thinking about brown-bagging lunch (we said thinking about) and finding a sunny spot outside.

Your thirst for rosé and chilled whites has become suddenly overwhelming.

And the Nantucket Wine Festival is just around the corner, from May 13 to 17.

Ah, Nantucket.

They don't have a single traffic light on the whole island. Yet their Wine Festival every May has matured into one of the year's must-attend events for wine talent from around the world.

We're thinking one of those things -- no traffic light, a whole lot of wine talent -- may have to do with the other.

This year, start your own pre-summer ritual. Book your ticket -- boat, plane, whatever -- grab a bike, and navigate your way around the island's wine extravaganza.

Go on. Take the plunge.
