Favourite grape? Syrah. Favourite region? Beaujolais.

Are you a dog or cat person? Or maybe neither. Maybe you have birds or turtles or an ant farm?

I’m a dog person- ask to see pictures of my bulldog, Mack!

If you weren’t selling wine at Bishop’s Cellar, what would you be doing?

It’s hard to say but probably something related to food; I love the idea of working in a test kitchen.

🌊🦞 Local Products

We’re celebrating local this month and what better choice than a local sparkling wine; something we do here in Nova Scotia at such a high level. I’m choosing the Benjamin Bridge Brut Rosé which has been something I’ve reached for year after year. All at once, this wine packs punchy acidity, some creaminess, rounded edges, delicate cherry and strawberry falvours. It’ll show best alongside local dishes like boiled lobster dipped in warm butter, steamed mussels with crunchy sourdough bread, and freshly-shucked Maritime oysters all on their own. Yes, I said it. Oysters in their purest form.
