If you\u2019re like me, you\u2019re always in vacay planning mode. And not far behind picking the destination, is choosing what<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0wine I\u2019m going to have and where. I mean what could be more relaxing at the end of a full day of vacation fun than \u201cwine-ding down\u201d with a great bottle as the sun sets over the ocean, or the mountains, or the city skyline? And who better to consult than wine experts at hotels and resorts across the U.S. for the perfect pairings for any adventure, from a desert hike to a day on the beach.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur go-to wine after a day of boating, biking, or beach-combing on Martha\u2019s Vineyard would be Sancerre, which is 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Being from France, the wine expresses flavors like honeysuckle, lime, Meyer lemon, quince, gooseberry, green apple, poached pear, honeydew, white peach, smoke, lemon curd, and brioche. Sancerre goes great with most seafood, especially New England shellfish. We pour Sancerre, Pascal Jolivet by the glass here at Harbor View Hotel, and recommend it with our signature local diver scallops, which are served with fresh hand-rolled gnocchi, native corn, romano beans, and linguica sausage. It complements all the flavors of the sea and brings great balance to the heartiness of the gnocci and sausage. A glass or bottle of Sancerre can \u2013 \u00a0and should \u2013 be enjoyed our favorite way: in a plastic cup on the porch during sunset overlooking the harbor and Edgartown Lighthouse.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
