It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our dear friend Tony Nunez, and fixture on Burnside Street for almost 40 years. From building boats to tending flower beds, there wasn't much that Tony wasn't involved with over the years. And the man loved to dance! Our thoughts are with his daughter Rose and John Cobb and the rest of Tony's family today. Visiting hours are from 4-8 PM today (Tuesday) at the George C. Lima Funeral Home in Bristol, and his funeral is tomorrow at 11 AM at St. Elizabeth's Church on Wood Street. Sail on, Tony. You were a good friend and a great man.

Cisco Brewers
Sponsor
Nantucket Vineyard was the first arm of our business opening in the early 1980’s as a small project of the Long Family. After a few years, Winery employees ended up falling in love with the wine and each other, and voila! – Cisco Brewers was born on the Hudson’s stovetop in 1995. Whispers of a brewery floated on the Nantucket wind, catching the ear of a few people, including a Mr. Harman. Using the previously tested and proven formula of starting a business from another business, Winery and Brewery employees enjoyed a few glasses / pints (respectively) together and hatched the idea for Triple Eight Distillery in 2000. All three businesses are constantly evolving, and we now produce a wide variety of world-class wines, beers, and spirits. Come out and enjoy our Nantucket haven- just prepare yourself in case your mind blows up from all the awesomeness.
