of the oldest vines in Nova Scotia. With
tidal breezes coming in off Minus Basin,
Bay of Fundy, the winemakers think they
are onto something special and have
developed unique hybrids. Here they grow
the L’Acadie grape and blend it under
the label Tidal Bay, which is judged and
regulated by a set of standards established
by the Winery Association of Nova Scotia.
To obtain the Tidal Bay designation, all
wines must be made from specific grape
varieties, include 100% Nova Scotia grown
grapes, and be approved every year by
an independent blind tasting panel. This
refreshing white wine is great with seafood
or on the patio.
The Grand Pré region outside of
Wolfville is home to a growing wine route
which includes some big players like
Domaine de Grand Pré with its world class
restaurant, Le Caveau. However, as longtime
CBC fans we were really excited to
head to Pete Luckett’s vineyard and hopefully
meet the guy who started Pete’s Frootique
in Wolfville.
Perhaps you
remember him,
as we did, from
his many years
on CBC Midday
with Valerie
Pringle explaining
the nuances
of then-exotic
fruits and vegetables.
He later
took his show to
CTV and the Food
Network. Pete’s
Frootiques are
now very popular
