On Sunday morning we invite you to join us at the Second Annual NWF Wine-Down Brunch at the elegant White Elephant Hotel overlooking Nantucket Harbor.  Relax with friends as you enjoy a bountiful buffet brunch prepared by world class chef David Daniels of Topper¹s. Toast the end of another fantastic Nantucket Wine Festival with a specialty drink by St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, or a Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label mimosa, and take in the Wine-Down Fashion Show featuring Nantucket designers Cheryl Fudge, and Elisabeth English of currentVintage.

Cheryl Fudge is a local designer of recycled and re-fabricated clothing and accessories that take eco-fashion to another level!  Her store, The Nantucket Stock Exchange, was recently featured in several magazines, including Travel & Leisure and Cape Cod Life ... currentVintage is an inventive fine wine and vintage clothing boutique located at 4 Easy Street in Nantucket.  The shop features an eclectic blend of small-production wines and a well-edited collection of clothing, jewelry and home accessories.  What a great way to Wine-Down!! 

Sponsored by: DPS Sporting Club Development, The Greenbrier Sporting Club, Turks and Caicos Sporting Club and Snake Rover Sporting Club, Veuve Cliquot and St-Germain Liqueur.

A portion of the proceeds of the White Elephant Wine-Down Brunch benefits the Nantucket Boys and Girls Club.
