Tidal Bay – The Definitive Nova Scotia Wine

Our Maritime climate truly has a way of bringing out the best wines! Remarkably so that winemakers and industry professionals came together to form a committee that created Tidal Bay, our very first wine appellation. It’s a collaboration that currently has 12 wine-makers who make their own version of this crisp, fragrant white wine that is a true representation of our province’s climate and rocky clay-rich soil among other factors!

What's New With Nova Scotia Wines?

Popping the Bubbly as seen on CTV Morning Live with Sommelier Matt Steeves

Today on CTV Morning Live, CTV’s Sarah Freemark and Sommelier Matt Steeves showcased some super tasty sparkling wines and easy to make Champagne Cocktails to enjoy at your New Year’s Eve celebration. Matt’s top ‘Champagne’ picks and ‘Champagne’ Cocktails were shown on two segments.

Champagne, the best known style of sparkling wine, has been a favourite for a very long time for toasting celebrations, whether it was the French nobility during the early 1700s or more recently with nobility all around the world, along with everyday hard working wine lovers in every corner of the earth, sparkling wine has held its place as the drink to have in your hand and share with those closest to you when you celebrate life’s great moments.

Sparkling wines are great for all occasions, and when it comes to celebrations they’re the perfect choice! And when it comes to celebrations, New Year’s Eve parties are often the best!

As I’ve mentioned before, sparkling wines are incredibly food friendly making it a real no-brainer when it comes to choosing complementary pairings. They’re great with all sorts of foods from canapés, soups, seafood, fish, poultry, and snacks like popcorn or potato chips. Most New Year’s Eve parties have plenty of rich and savoury finger foods making sparkling wines an ideal (complementary) pairing to enjoy throughout the evening.

Produced in many styles, from sweet to bone dry, affordable to unaffordable, each style has its place and complements a wide array of dishes making it an easy wine to pair with food if you choose to do more than simply make that special toast with it.

And the best thing is buying a high quality sparkling wine doesn’t have to break the bank. That’s right, although fine Champagne is wonderful, you don’t have to buy a $40-$400 Champagne to get a quality sparkling wine. Spanish Cava, made the same way as Champagne (yet with different grapes), are often $10-$20 and often taste twice that good. Canada is excelling in each of its major wine producing regions with the production of high quality traditional method (i.e. same as Champagne) sparkling wine. British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia are all producing fantastic traditional method sparkling wines that have garnered international acclaim (Blue Mountain Winery in BC, Benjamin Bridge in Nova Scotia, and too many to mention in Ontario (but here are a few of my favourites from what I’ve tasted recently: Jackson-Triggs, 13th Street, Creekside Estate, Featherstone Winery, Huff Estate, Hinterland, and the list grows every year!)). Canada isn’t the only region outside of Champagne making terrific sparkling wines though as virtually all wine producing regions in the world are making traditional method sparkling wines meaning you don’t have to look to hard to find a great sparkling wine at a reasonable price no matter where you call home.

The wines I’ve chosen offer great value and would be terrific for your New Year’s Eve party celebrations.
