If you’re heading out to the island for this weekend’s Taste of the Vineyard, catch an earlier ferry (a few days earlier) and enjoy Westport Rivers wines at The Terrace at the Charlotte Inn. On Wednesday, June 17th, chef Justin Melnick hosts winemaker Bill Russell for four courses made to pair with a selection of his wines. Russell has plucked some of his most popular bottles to bring with him from his vineyard on the southeast coast of Massachusetts – Farmer’s Fizz, 2007 Brut RJR, 2014 Cinco Caes, 2012 Pinot Noir, and 2013 Grace Chardonnay. Consult the menu to see what kind of goodies comes of their collaboration. Tickets are $125 each and available at 508.627.6227.
