Complimentary Wine Tasting: Scar of the Sea Pinot Noir

Join us as we launch a weekend-long celebration honoring the 30th anniversary of the New Bedford Whaling Museum's legendary Moby-Dick Marathon. Begin your literary journey with us at The Drawing Room, located immediately adjacent to the Whaling Museum on historic Johnny Cake Hill.

We'll open with a special tasting of Scar of the Sea Pinot Noir, a California wine whose very essence embodies the spirit of Melville's masterwork. The label prominently features a quote from Moby Dick: "As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch to sail forbidden seas and land on barbarous coasts.”--words that speak to resilience, endurance, and the indelible marks left by experience. Just as these coastal vineyards, located merely a mile from the Pacific Ocean, are shaped by persistent fog, ocean winds, and maritime weather, Melville's novel explores humanity's relationship with the sea's transformative power. This sophisticated literary reference signals the winemakers' reverence for how the ocean shapes both wine and narrative, making it the perfect toast to begin our marathon weekend.
