Summer in Maine is short—but we know how to make the most of it. Whether it’s a chilled glass of wine after a beach day or a crisp spritz on the porch, there’s nothing better than pairing great bottles with great moments.
To celebrate the season, we asked our team two simple questions:
What’s your favorite bottle we carry—and how do you love spending summer in Maine?
Amber – Marketing & Sales Support
Favorite Bottle: HP-351
Why They Love It: I love the size and shape of this bottle. Tall, skinny and slender. Although small capacity at 375mL it still packs a punch and has the perfect height. It’s a bottle meant for a special type of wine.
Favorite Maine Summer Activity:
My favorite summer activity is whitewater rafting in The Forks, Maine. My cousin guides us down the Kennebec with all of our kids, and we have a blast. No cell phone reception up there…
Sam– Account Manager
Favorite Bottle: HP-901
Why They Love It:
I love Sparkling wine and this bottle shape is super unique.
Favorite Maine Summer Activity: Oh this is hard, I have two:
#1-The Beach – We go to a beach that my 2 + 4 year old can get ankle deep and find hermit crabs. It’s a very quiet, beautiful family beach.
#2-Little Sebago Lake – We have a family camp on Little Sebago and take out the boat as much as we can in the Spring – Fall. It’s a gorgeous Maine lake with sand bars, loons and an ice cream boat.
Favorite Bottle: 20L Hybrid Keg
Why They Love It:
It’s a lightweight keg, what’s not to love about that?!? And with 10-liter kegs, you could bring one on the boat, to the fire or cookout. Petainer kegs are a sign of a good time.
Favorite Maine Summer Activity:
Playing golf. If not that, on Sebago Lake with my friends.
TJ– President

I’ve always liked the wide neck of the HP-10.
