When I travel outside of Atlantic Canada I'm proud to champion our region, and I always try to cure the rest of the world - and Canadians - of their ignorance of the Right Coast of Canada.
I often encounter people who think we are quaint, and our region is pretty, but when I tell them about our fantastic restaurants and tasty wines, they give me that perplexed look. They just don't take me seriously, but don't want to say anything and appear rude. What does this Coaster know about wine and food? He's a Coaster ferchrissakes.
