Napa, New Hampshire?

Sarah Breen in the vineyard

There is a new wine bar/ restaurant/ retail wine shop in Nashua, New Hampshire called Napa East.  For those of you who haven’t ventured out there yet, it’s well worth the trip.  With over 100 wines by the glass dispensed by climate-controlled machines from Napa Technology, you can taste sips of any wine on the list for an average of $3 a pour.  You can also get half and full glasses.  More expensive options, like the famed Opus One, are available as well and provide the chance to try a wine before investing in a pricey bottle or even a full glass.

The bar at Napa East

They serve lunch and dinner and offer free tastings of a selection of wines in the retail store at the entrance to the restaurant.  Hopefully they will be featuring Jewell Towne wines in the near future.  If any one of our Jewell Towne fans makes a trip to this wine mecca, please request our wine!  It would certainly expand our reach to have a tasting venue in the southwestern part of the state.

And when you go to Napa East, be sure to say hello to Jewell Towne intern Sarah Breen.  A recent graduate of the University of New Hampshire where she majored in EcoGastronomy, Sarah has completed Levels I & II of the Comprehensive Survey of Wine at Boston University.  She hopes to work in wine sales and reach sommelier status in her continuing wine education.  She works in the retail shop at Napa East in addition to offering her expertise in the vineyard and tasting room at Jewell Towne.
