The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:

As summer comes on, many in New England and beyond look to the Cape for their summer escape.

Work schedules, rental prices, and traffic being what they are, however, not all of us can get away so easily.

Fortunately, everyone can get their hands on bottles of First Crush wines which are the most recognized and award-winning wines made on the Cape.

With names like Rapture, Amore, and Vis-Zin-ary, First Crush takes you away even before you open the bottles. Inside, you will find Dr. Frank Puzio’s award-winning blends of hand-picked west coast grapes and locally-sourced produce, including Cape Cod’s world-famous cranberries.

In addition to their interesting recipes and names, First Crush wines also come with an interesting story. Dr. Puzio had been an optometrist for nearly 50 years, during which time he made small batches of wine in his barn for family and friends. In 2012, Dr. Puzio hung up a new shingle as winemaker for First Crush and the rest has ben oenophillic history!

So whether or not you can get there, the Cape is never further than a glass when you have your summer supply of First Crush.
