12 The Grapevine September 19 - October 3, 2013 Wineries WOLFVILLE WINERY NEWEST ADDITION TO DEVONIAN COAST PORTFOLIO Devonian Coast Wineries has announced that it is acquiring Muir Murray Estate Winery in Wolfville. Devonian Coast Wineries currently owns and operates the award-winning wineries Jost Vineyards on the North Shore and Gaspereau Vineyards in the Annapolis Valley. The transaction is due to close on September 30. “We are delighted to add this third location to our winery operations,” says Carl Sparkes, President and owner of Devonian Coast Wineries. “Being the closest winery to downtown Wolfville offers a great opportunity to build a premium winery experience here in Atlantic Canada.” For the time being, the focus will remain on vineyard development, while the winery and wine shop will close temporarily for renovations and improvements. The operation will then reopen in 2014 as a new winery under a new name. “Our plan is to create new wines and a new brand to fit in the ultra premium category, which is an important part of Devonian’s growth strategy,” says Sparkes. He adds, “This location allows us to do something really special in the Valley so that wine lovers will get to enjoy new and different wine styles for this region.” This is one of the most exciting times in Nova Scotia’s 30-year wine journey, and Devonian Coast is proud to be a part of the phenomenal growth of the industry. With several new wineries and each existing winery placing emphasis on quality and carving out their own unique offerings, consumers can expect Nova Scotia wines to continue to evolve to world class. “It’s here where the elements perfectly align” As for this new acquisition, the journey is just beginning.

The grape was named after the winemaker at the Oberlin Institute in Alsace. With our short growing season we grow Léon Millot because it ripens early and has high resistance against fungal diseases. The skins of these very small berries are a beautiful blueberry colour, and the tiny clusters weigh just around 90 grams each! It produces a lighter wine that can be compared to the style of Pinot Noir. Almost all the local wineries work with the Léon Millot grape. It’s great to taste them from winery to winery, as the winemakers use different techniques in fermentation or aging, so you’ll see Laila North Go North Tours Luckett Vineyards 1293 Grand Pré Road Melanson | 542-2600 luckettvineyards.com Sainte-Famille Wines Dyke Road and Dudley Park Lane Falmouth | 798-8311 st-famille.com Here the elements perfectly align Avondale Sky Winery 1-902-253-2047 | www.AvondaleSky.com The Vintage News is brought to you by: letsgowinetasting.ca GASPEREAU VINEYARDS complimentary TOURS Daily at 12, 2 & 4pm!

13 The Grapevine September Stardrop is brought 19 - October you by: 3, 2013 Recipe The Box of Delights A Delightful Little Bookshop Autumn Salad Dave Smart | Front & Central The nights are getting cooler....fall is just around the corner. It’s the time of year where we have to start thinking about switching gears with our salads. One of my favourite salads uses brussels sprouts and kale as the greens, with a bright lemon Dijon vinaigrette. This salad is hearty and satisfying while still maintaining the bright and fresh flavours of the summer. Serves 4 as a side salad. Vinaigrette • 2 tbsp lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon • 1 tsp Dijon mustard • ½ c. vegetable oil • Salt & pepper to taste on Main St Wolfville 542-9511 www.boxofdelightsbooks.com the Salad • 2 cups brussels sprouts, outer leaves removed, cut into thin strips • 1 c. kale, stem removed and leaves cut into thin strips • ½ c. dried currants • ½ c. slivered almonds • ¼ c. shallot, diced fine Instructions Combine lemon juice, zest, and mustard in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in vegetable oil and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper. In a sauté pan, toast almonds over medium-high heat. When fragrant and taking on colour, remove to a plate and allow to cool. Toss chopped sprouts, kale, currants, and shallots in a bowl and add dressing to taste. Top with cooled almonds and serve.
