The name of our bi-monthly company newsletter derives from nautical terminology and custom. A mainbrace is the line with pulley used to hoist the mainsail of the sort of wooden sailing ship traditional to Atlantic Canadian waters. The term "splicing the mainbrace" r

efers to the Royal Navy custom of rewarding a ship's crew for a job particularly well done by serving everyone an extra tot of rum. To do this, the Captain gave the order, "Splice the Mainbrace!" As a beverage alcohol agency in Atlantic Canada which is committed to doing the job particularly well for our clients around the world, what could be more natural than to associate ourselves with the notion of Splicing the Mainbrace?

Finally had a chance to visit with last week and what a treat! Seeing the vineyards and tasting the lineup of wines all together adds a lot of context to what she has accomplished the last 20 years (!!!) in Vittoria, Sicily. Amazing wines that are so alive in the glass that they explode on your palate. Nerello just moved up the ladder of my favourite grapes! Thanks for taking time from your busy schedule for the visit and lunch Arianna and team ❤️!!

Barolo Chinato (key-nah-tow) is an ancient Piedmontese digestif made using Barolo Albe DOCG as a base, then infusing it with around 30 herbs, rinds and roots of plants.
It is a flavoured wine, not a fortified wine like Port. This means that most of the alcohol content (18%) and sweetness are due to the herbal and spice infusions in alcohol together with the sugar added to the Barolo. It is deep in colour, with lovely aromatics, and a complex palate.
Chinato is an ideal winter sipper, so get out the dark chocolate, enjoy it on its own, as a digestif, or make a Chinato Spritz with some soda (and Cava if you like).
The bottle will last up to 2 months once open if refrigerated. Available at The Port by while supplies last.

Happy to see the white wines from return to again. They are continually some of the best value white wines available in NS. Max Barreau is a 5th generation winemaker from Entre-Deux-Mers in Bordeaux and continues with both the traditional family wines but also his own range of modern/hip/funky wines to suit the more natural enthusiasts. He was kind enough to pick me up and tour me through their vineyards and winery facility during my recent visit to Bordeaux. Merci Max! Available at The Port while they last!
