When Boston liquor giant Gordon’s and the White When Boston liquor giant Gordon’s and the White Elephant Hotel attempted to hijack the Nantucket Wine & Food Festival, they underestimated festival owner Nancy Bean’s resilience. Last month, a federal court ruled in Nancy’s favor, confirming her rightful ownership and clearing the path for her event to return May 14-18, 2025. Federal Judge Leo T. Sorokin called Gordon’s actions “false and misleading,” part of an attempt to undermine Nancy’s business. Despite the setbacks, Nancy refused to back down. In an era that seems defined by David and Goliath scenarios, Nancy Bean refused to be a victim. “I didn’t give up. I put my battle gloves on,” she said. And won. With the White Elephant backing out and Gordon’s forced to issue corrections, Nancy is ready to move forward. @nantucketwineandfood will now be headquartered at the Nantucket Hotel. “This gives us the chance to work with other wonderful venues, keep our dates and move forward. We lost a lot of pre-production time (having to) pause as we dealt with the litigation, but now we’re full steam ahead. From the talent to the venue partners to sponsors and new chefs and restaurants, people have been incredibly supportive and have strong feelings about how it all went down. We’re plunging ahead to make up for lost time and excited about this year’s fest,” she said. 
 While the legal battle delayed production and caused confusion, the festival’s heart is stronger than ever. “This has forced us to think more broadly,” Nancy shared. “We’ve had incredible support, and this year’s festival will be as wonderful as ever, with exciting new elements.” 
 Nancy acknowledged the lasting impact of the attempted takeover. “Even though the court ruled in our favor, it’s been messy. But we’re pushing forward to make up for lost time and create something truly special.” 📆 Save the dates and get ready for an unforgettable celebration of wine, food, and resilience. Cheers to standing tall and keeping the spirit of Nantucket alive! 🍷✨ (link in bio) #NantucketWineAndFood #FoodAndWine #Nantucket #ack #newportbuzz
The music won’t stop for Dave Manuel. Days after The music won’t stop for Dave Manuel. Days after Audrain’s La Forge Restaurant informed the beloved pianist his time behind the keys had come to an end, the decision has been reversed. Manuel will continue to serenade diners every Friday and Saturday night, much to the delight of his loyal fans. The reversal comes after an outpouring of community support for the local legend. Manuel took to Facebook to thank those who rallied behind him, writing, “Thank you, thank you, thank you, everyone, for the absolutely overwhelming show of love and support that I have received. Everyone should be as lucky as me to hear such beautiful things said about them while they’re living. I highly recommend it. Love to all.” Audrain’s decision seems to underscore the power of community voices in preserving local traditions. For now, fans can rest assured that Manuel’s music will continue to light up their weekends. Nick Schorsch’s Audrain group has been on a buying spree since relocating to Newport from New York City roughly a dozen years ago. His holdings include: La Forge Restaurant, Brick Alley Pub, Newport Craft Beer, The Red Parrot, Flo’s Clam Shacks, The Vanderbilt Hotel, Audrain Automobile Museum, Audrain Motorsport, Audrain Park Place, Audrain Hospitality, La Costa Lobster and Tacos, Wally Weiners, Newport Lobster Company, Hilltop Inn, the Cluck House, the Cluck Truck, Amano Pizza, Newport Life Magazine, The Reef, Caleb & Broad, and the food concessions at Easton’s Beach. #newportri #laforgerestaurant #rhodeisland #newportbuzz

For now, loyal patrons can visit their Bristol location, open for regular hours. Whether you’re a seasoned craft beer enthusiast or just dipping your toes into the foam, Pivotal’s arrival in Newport promises something for everyone.
