Select Board grants special license to My Cousins Wine for Chatham Farmers Market
Summary
The board unanimously approved a special license allowing My Cousins Wine (represented by Anthony Demoro) to sell wine at the Chatham Farmers Market on Tuesdays from June 16 through Oct. 13, 2026, after the applicant described the family operation and distribution constraints.
The Chatham Select Board approved a special license on June 2 permitting My Cousins Wine (Anthony Demoro) to sell wine produced by a farmer winery at the Chatham Farmers Market, Tuesdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., June 16 through Oct. 13, 2026.
Anthony Demoro told the board his family business is a small, multi‑generation winery and said "we are a small winery out of Haritch. Our family's done this for 120 years since my great‑grandfather came from Sicily to Springfield." He said the winery currently sources grapes from California for the four wines they plan to offer and that federal and state rules (TTB and ABCC) limit on‑site visits.
Following a brief presentation and questions from board members about sourcing and product variability, a motion to grant the special license passed on a unanimous roll‑call vote.
The transcript does not record additional conditions or enforcement steps related to the license; hours and dates were specified in the motion.
