NORTHBOROUGH - With both of their seats up for election this spring, Selectmen Jason Perreault and Scott Rogers have announced that they will not seek re-election.

The pair made the announcement during the Jan. 23 meeting of the Board of Selectmen.

“It’s been my pleasure to serve with the many people I’ve worked with both on the boards that I’ve served on and the administrative personnel and staff in town,” said Perreault. “They’ve always been very hardworking, very capable at everything that we’ve encountered, not to mention things like great recessions and pandemics.”

He continued, “[I’m] very pleased with the capable people that I’ve been able to work with, and I thank all of the residents of the town and voters in town who have supported me over the years.”

Marvelous Malbec

Afterdiseases and climate changes had affected the crops of Malbec grapes in their native France, these purple wine blending grapes were transported to Argentina. Vines adapted readily to the high-elevation vineyards in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, where cooler growing temperatures allow grapes to develop more acidity and tannins. Proper growing conditions and enhanced winemaking techniques have given rise to inky-dark, full-bodied varietal wines that have become extremely popular in the United States. These wines are fruit forward and have powerful tannins that are robust yet still velvety on the palate. Most Malbec wines were originally consumed locally and not exported, but today Argentina is the source of approximately three-quarters of the world’s Malbec wine.

Malbec wines are dry, full-bodied, and exhibit rich, dark fruit nose and flavors like blackberry and red plum. They’re juicy and jammy, with notes of vanilla, tobacco, dark chocolate, and oak. With medium acid and moderate levels of tannins, they pair well with food. At JULIO’S LIQUORS, we feature an extensive selection of wines from all over the globe. For more information, call 508-366-1942 or visit us at 140 Turnpike Rd., Rt. 9 East HINT: Malbec wines pair well with grilled red meats, bacon, sausages, and aged cheeses.
