5 Ways To Live More Sustainably?

Living sustainably in our day-to-day lives can be as easy as recycling newspapers and composting food scraps. It is a conscious effort to reduce the use of Earth’s natural resources, your carbon footprint and consumption.

1. Eat Locally
2. Dispose of disposables - use glass containers instead of single-use plastics
3. Recycle
4. Save water - conserve household water use
5. Buy products that traceable to source

 

Why Is This Important?

When you support local farmers and brands that follow traceable high standards such as MSC and Nobilo Wines, we elevate everyday meals while making choices that are also good for the planet. Over 90% of the world's fish stock are either fully fished or over-fished! Yet, over ½ Billion people rely on seafood for their income and are the main source of animal protein! So, what’s better than bringing friends and families together to enjoy delicious meals that everyone can feel good about.

Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc I Marborough, New Zealand:

Aromas of bright lifted tropical fruit and herbs with notes of pineapple, passionfruit, elderflower, cantaloupe and citrus. Energizing and lively acidity perfectly balances the underlying fruit sweetness for a refreshing and crisp generous finish. Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc perfectly pairs with a summer salad and seafood dishes.

Nobilo is an affordable wine that can be found in the New Zealand section at retailers across Canada, including LCBO, Sobeys and Loblaws (Ontario), BC Liquour Stores and private retailers in BC.

Haddock Scallops Fennel Soup

I love making this seafood fennel cioppino soup! It is so easy to make and can be made the night before if you are hosting a dinner party. The soup holds up well over time. This is the perfect comfort soup to stay cozy - even in the summer! The aroma of onion, fennel and garlic along with the sharp, sweet liquorice flavour of fennel pairs wonderfully with meaty MSC Certified scallops and flakey, tender MSC Certified Haddock.

We use Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc to deglaze the pan after the white Miropoix is translucent and bacon is cooked. Remember to scrape off the fat rendered from the bacon. One of the secrets of cooking wine is that wine helps cook and add flavour to fish and to replace the lost moisture.

I like to play off the subtle flavours in the wine and acid can help bring out the natural flavours in mild food, such as fish - ex. fish is often served with a wedge of lemon! Also, when deciding what type of wine you should be used to cook which type of food, the general rule is to pair light-flavoured wine with delicately flavoured ingredients.
