Holiday Cheer

2010-12-23T11:32:00.000-08:00

Snow brought great holiday cheer to the Plymouth Winery, making the Village Landing merry and bright. Thanks to all who shopped locally this season. Don't forget to use your village bucks in January.
We will be closed early on Dec. 24th and will re-open on Monday the 27th, unless the snow storm keeps us home in front of the fireplace. It's alwasy a good idea to call ahead as we are happy to stay open if we know customers are coming to visit. It can get lonely here in the winter on the waterfront.
During January and Februrary we plan to close most Sundays and Mondays, except for MLK weekend and President's weekend. We will be closed for the Boston Wine Expo Sat and Sun, the 22nd and 23rd of January.

Plymouth Winery Cookbook

2010-06-20T12:20:00.000-07:00

The Plymouth Winery has published a cookbook that begins with classic appetizers and cocktails made with wine, and ends with decadent desserts. Subtitled Recipes for the Wine Lover, the dishes are easy to prepare with readily available ingredients, and all include grape or fruit varietals. The book provides lots of useful information on cooking with wine, such as how salt can dull the palate and toughen meat. Each recipe includes suggestions for the best type of wine to serve to complement the food. However, the author, Linda Shumway, encourages people to experiment by substituting a red wine for a white wine (or a wine made from fruit) in the same recipe to taste the different results. Ms. Shumway also encourages the host to try different wine pairings with the meal to enhance the dining experience.

The Plymouth Winery Cookbook is loaded with helpful hints, ranging from how to perk up soggy lettuce to techniques for napkin folding for that special dinner party. The soft cover and spiral binding keep the cookbook open on your counter for easy access to the instructions. As a bonus, the cookbook includes a previously published short story by winey owner Linda Shumway, entitled Grapes You Can’t Refuse, a humorous account of her first experience with trying to purchase Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The cookbook is available in the tasting room and online for $9.99.

Wine Jellies from Cranberry and blackberry

2010-05-21T10:54:00.000-07:00

The famous Chatham Jam Shop has cooked up a batch of jelly made with our Cranberry and Blackberry wines. We have both small and large jars for sale in our tasting room. In an effort to sell as many locally made products as we can without refrigeration and avoiding spoilage, we also now have Bog Beans, cranberries covered with rich milk or dark chocolate, made in Sagamore. to compliment red grape wines, try pairing the Jamoca beans, dark chocolate covered espresso beans, with a bold dry wine, such as our Bug Light Red.

June 2008 News

2008-06-14T12:57:00.000-07:00

June was a rewarding month for the Plymouth Winery. We won a medal at the International Eastern Wine Competition for Bogart's Blend, which is made from Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. The IEWC had about 2500 entries from around the world, and was held over Memorial Day weekend in the Finger Lakes. Bogart's Blend is a lightly oaked, crisp, summer white, perfect with fish and chicken.

The Plymouth Winery also won medals at the Eastern States Wine Comptition-known as the Big E- open to New England and New York wineries only. Our Blueberry captured a gold and the Blackberry won a silver medal.
