In June 2008 I was invited to give the keynote address at the Atlantic Canada Wine Symposium in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. In my concluding remarks I suggested that the winemakers of the Annapolis and Gaspereau Valleys should have T-shirts made, emblazoned with the legend, “Embrace Acidity.”
No other wine region of Canada has a more perfect wine style to match the local produce: think lobster, crab, oysters, scallops and salmon. What better marriage than Nova Scotia’s crisply dry white wines? The current logo for the province’s wines, incidentally, is a lobster claw holding a glass of wine; this is about to be changed since consumers “from away” are not quite sure if it’s a monster holding the glass or what.
