Anders Caldwell has writing in his blood, so he decides to pursue his story-telling ways through a podcast about a tiny island off the coast of Maryland called Frick Island. The 94 residents on the island only come and go via Bob Dan’s boat, and there is no cell tower or internet, so Anders can take the liberty of sharing all of the islanders’ quirks with the outside world without fear of reprisal. Nothing changes on Frick Island, not the inedibly sweet cake they’re famous for or its lack of alcohol. The folks who live here support each other and even pretend to see dead ex-residents when the need arises. Close knit doesn’t begin to describe their enmeshment. What will happen as the island finally gets a cell tower? Will outside influence tear them apart or draw them together? Hop onto Bob Dan’s boat and see for yourself! Today, we are drinking two non-alcoholic wines that would fit right in on Frick Island and one that is only 10.5% alcohol. The first non-alcoholic wine is a bubbly rose from Gruvi, that reads more like a jolly rancher or a sweetart than a wine, and the second is a Mosel Riesling from Leitz, redolent of acidic apple. The lower alcohol sip is COS Nero d’Avola, a dry Sicilian wine with notes of red cherry and tomato leaf that pairs well with beef stew, lentils, mushrooms or barbecue. See for yourself whether you miss the alcohol.
