MANITOBA SAVOUR
Ready to Leap into Summer

When I think of spring and summer, I think of ribs. My father started a tradition when he lived in Alberta — the Alberta Rib-Off. No doubt, the title had a bit of hubris built in. Two people represented Alberta — my father versus a co-worker (which changed each year). Nevertheless, the event was solid fun. Each would make their secret recipe at our home and the rest of the team voted. Having home advantage, my father usually took home the trophy. It’s sitting at my cottage. When our family (mostly Alberta residents) meets, we continue the tradition. The Savour Manitoba team felt that we should have our own Manitoba Rib-Off. The idea was enthusiastically embraced — likely because we discussed the idea before lunch and they knew sampling would be involved. As Manitoba thinks about spring and summer, our friends to the south are readying for autumn and winter. In this edition, Alex Allardyce, our sommelier, will teach you about the southern hemisphere and its wine harvest. It has begun. You’ll also be introduced to Jen Pfeiffer, an award-winning Australian winemaker. She’ll discuss her approach to winemaking. She also touches on a sometimes-overlooked wine — port. Yes, Australia has some lovely ports! And we’re taking you on a tour back home with a focus on Brandon. Dust off your barbecues and cookbooks — it’s time to Savour Manitoba!
