A Great Time to Savour Local Flavour!                               - Robert Buranello

As a relatively nouveau-haligonian who is immensely enthusiastic about all gastro-oenological developments in Nova Scotia, I thought it only right to dedicate some attention to the Savour Food & Wine Festival that ends today.  This is its 15th year, having grown from a single event in 2002 that intended to reveal to the world the amazing talents of the people involved in the local food and drink industry and to display some of the amazing offerings of the restaurants, wineries, breweries and other beverage merchants involved.  Coordinated by the Restaurant Association of Nova Scotia, the SFWF is a series of unique culinary events that celebrate and showcase Nova Scotia’s passion for great food, wine and beverages.   It runs from January through to March every year.

​As a tribute to this event, this evening I honoured the local food and wine industry by serving a fantastic meal of BBQ Pork Ribs (from Ebbett’s Meadow Brook Farm – http://www.ebbettsmeadowbrook.com of Tatamagouche) accompanied by locally-grown potatoes selected from among the best available at the Halifax Seaport Market, and completed with Jost Vineyard’s very own 4Skins blend of Castel, Lucie Kuhlmann, Maréchal Foch, and Léon Millot grapes.  This Malagash wine was an excellent accompaniment to a fine, fun meal featuring some of the best locally grown and sustainable food around.  We eat and drink well out here these days! Cheers!
