A Meritage Wedding at Bosari Gallery's Wine Cellar

Last November when we celebrated my best friend's birthday at my brother's wine country retreat we made our own meritage wine blend. We picked the grapes before the rains came from my brother's vineyard.  We sorted through the pickings, then pressed the grapes and later punched the cap. As I recall my brothers, Jim and Bri, talked about our blend as a meritage. I assumed the word meritage meant marriage and in a way it does. It is actually the blending of two fine heritage wines.

Last week I presided over a wedding at Bosari Gallery. The ceremony took place in the Wine Cellar of this vintage 1800's converted barn on Main Street in Dennis. The carved stone walls and the authentic wine press gave the room a romantic aura.  The couple themselves were a blending of two fine heritages. The adult children from both sides of the family stood up for their mother and father. The groom's niece sang "Lucky" as afternoon sun poured in transforming the day from damp and dark to warm and cozy.

After the couple was presented as husband and wife, they danced over to the wine table to raise their glass in a toast to love and marriage; a perfect meritage moment.
