Editor’s Picks
Winery A to “Z”
The 20th anniversary of Zorvino Vineyards is winding through everything they do, including two special anniversary releases. Zanello Family Reserve — a nod to the namesakes of the 80-acre winery and wedding venue, founder Jim Zanello and his daughter, Amy — is a red blend of six grapes aged for 16 months in oak barrels. The Vermentino, a first for the Sandown winery, is a white wine that marketing director Tom Zack describes as similar to a Vinho Verde, “a nice, crispy” wine. www.zorvino.com
The Rooftop at The Artisan
Bar with a Spectacular View
With the opening of many rooftop bars around the state, The Rooftop at The Artisan in Salem aims to make its mark as a sophisticated destination where “creative cocktails and perfectly paired plates take center stage.” As part of the Tuscan
Brands group, the restaurant and bar is the ideal setting to soak in a vibrant atmosphere (including exclusive 21+ ambiance after 9 p.m. on weekends) and panoramic views of Tuscan Village. Stop by on Saturdays and Sundays between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. for Brunch & Beats. www.therooftopattheartisan.com
Craft Distillery
Manchester Distillery was built to create spirits that salute the Queen City’s heritage and celebrate its future. Each of their artisanal gin and vodka products are made in their 2,400-square-foot production warehouse. They also have a tasting room with an outdoor patio that you can enjoy and even rent for special events. www.manchesterdistillery.com
