Juicy Summer Reads: Patriot Trilogy
Summer is a storied time in New England: parades, cookouts, ice cream, lobster rolls, sailing, the scent of the ocean that ignites all the senses, an essence deliciously captured in many movies and books, and in the same vein we introduce our Patriot Trilogy.
We've paired Egg Island, a petite Wellfleet beauty with full meats, a modest brine and an earthy finish, with Dutch Island from Rhode Island, a hearty oyster with a mineral saltiness and umami finish, rounding out with Racepoint, a favorite from a small lease in the...
