Wayland Patch 12/2/11: Selectmen Seek Details Before Approving Farmers’ Market Wine Sales. Wayland Selectmen Monday night held off on approving temporary liquor licenses for two wineries interested in offering tastings during the Winter Farmers’ Market at Russell’s Garden Center. The wineries, Still River Winery out of Harvard, Mass., and Westport Rivers Inc. out of Westport, Mass., each requested a one-day liquor license for wine to be sampled and sold for off-premises consumption on Saturdays only from Jan. 7, 2012, to March 10, 2012, at the Wayland Winter Farmers’ Market. The requests are virtually identical to other liquor license requests selectmen have previously approved, which, selectmen said, is largely their concern. “I’m just concerned with the frequency,” said board chair Tom Fay. Town Administrator Fred Turkington estimated that the approval of these liquor licenses would mean Russell’s Garden Center would host businesses offering samples and sales of alcohol for 40 weeks out of a 52-week, yearlong period. “Forty weeks out of the year seems a bit much to me,” selectmen John Bladon said. Selectmen stressed that they do not want to inhibit local business, but said they would like a representative from Russell’s to speak with them about the details of the wineries’ presence at the Winter Farmers’ Market.
