The method
Fourteen months in oak. Then nothing else.
The vinegar is the product. Every bottle in the collection begins with Quebec ice wine vinegar aged in small-format oak barrels sourced from a cooperage in Bromont. The fruit comes from within one hundred kilometres of the kitchen. The oil is always cold-pressed and pressed in the same season.
There are no thickeners, no gums, no emulsifiers beyond what is already in the mustard. Shake before pouring. Refrigerate after opening. Use within six weeks. These are not shelf-stable condiments. They are perishable by design.
- ◆ Ice wine vinegar base, minimum 14 months in Quebec oak
- ◆ All fruit and aromatics sourced within 100 km
- ◆ Cold-pressed oils only, same-season pressing
- ◆ No stabilisers, no emulsifiers, no shortcuts

The Ice Wine and Shallot is the vinaigrette I have been trying to make for ten years. I cannot make it this well.

We put the Cider and Tarragon on our menu as our maison vinaigrette. Three tables asked about it before dessert. We now order six cases a month.

The Spruce Tip and Lemon is unlike anything I have tasted. I filed a story. The editor loved it. It sold out the following week.
