A few words with Fred Mullins

Fred Mullins,
General Manager / Wine Director
Panzano Provviste e Vino / Tomasso Trattoria e Enoteca

“Here at Panzano Market and Tomasso Trattoria

we strive to feature the highest quality products, are committed to supporting local artisans, and are highly selective about our vendor partners. Still River Winery’s apple ice wine fits perfectly with our business values, and we’re pleased to support a New England craft distiller that is faithfully capturing the quality and freshness of locally grown apples in their wine.

As the Wine Director…

it’s exciting to have a local wine can enthusiastically share with customers, and Still River’s apple ice wine is a personal favorite. I enjoy watching our guest’s surprise and delight at discovering the just right balance of sweetness and acidity of the wine, and finding out how it pairs as beautifully with a cloth bound cheddar from Jasper Hill Farm as it does with one of our delicious fruit tarts. I can honestly say, I’ve never served this wine to anyone who did not like it, and I can’t say that about many wines.”

“Since 1950 Cardullos Gourmet Shoppe…

has had the opportunity to work with many local craftspeople. Margot and Wade are truly genuine, anyone that cares about where their money is spent, where the products come from, and who makes them, will be drawn to the delicious local indulgence of Still River’s Apfel Eis!

Hear from Wine Manager Peter Masters

The Concord Cheese Shop
Concord, MA

“It’s a pleasure to sell Still River’s Massachusetts apple ice wine at The Concord Cheese Shop…

and I enjoy recommending it to our customers. While not a common wine selection, it’s a product that offers great versatility. Some customers enjoy its balance of sweetness and acidity with savory cheddar cheeses, while others like it as a dessert wine. Local customers are known to purchase it regularly, and we see it in demand from vacationers who visit Concord and want to take home a unique and special product from our region.”
