Oh how I love The MV Wine Fest — how it kicks off the season on Martha’s Vineyard with four days of numerous fun events. One tasty event that I never miss is the Grand Tasting.

I have always been confused, even slightly annoyed about the name of Vineyard Haven/Tisbury, but thanks to the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber of Commerce’s Sample MV Vineyard Haven, I now know the deal. It turns out that Tisbury is the town, and Vineyard Haven is a village of Tisbury and, West Chop is one too. I love having that l...
