The Bleak House Side Car.
Dickens novel, Fogo’s merchant house, or pleasure at sunset? Camille says the latter.
(Plus Amaretto Sour, Lightfoot & Wolfville Sparkling Chenin Blanc, Oak Island Vineyard)

Who needs a QuipNap? This adorable red coaster is both slip-on and slip-proof. But though it beats a QuipNap in handiness, it lacks the humor, wink, wink! The creamy white Russian was mixed by a spectacular home-schooled bartender and Newfoundland native in Portugal Cove South. (The mini lemon meringue pie is a bonus!)

Everything’s Scottish on Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton. This tart(an) whiskey sour is courtesy of Johnny Walker Black in the practiced, eye-cracking hands of mixologizing-philosophizing Jade, the most excellent barkeep in Slainte!
(next pic is the Wedge salad, a piece of iceberg art—fitting)

Accompanying this off-the-hook chowder are some of Canada’s finest home-cultivated: Tidal Bay (Benjamin Bridge, Gaspereau, Nova Scotia) and Flora (Lightfoot & Wolfville, Wolfville, Nova Scotia). Slosh it down as the Bay of Fundy would! Shout-out to and Chef Renee and the extraordinary Jennifer
behind the bar.

Had we written a quip, it would’ve read something like, “This iceberg of feta came ashore at Halifax where it was dropped in a skillet and set aflame by Daryâ] resident pyromaniac (and talented mixologist) . . . a.k.a. Raz, the Radical Romanian Remixer.”
In the glass: Chateau Ksara ‘Blanc de L’Observaoire,’ Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. Shout-out to Raz’s compatriot, the meticulous manager/maitre’d Gabriel—he’s everywhere!

“What’s The Point?” would be the quip for this bad girl—Lunazul blanco, BV Land liqueur, rosemary syrup, lime, and that big, bad shish*to pepper—at Salt + Ash Beach House in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Can you spy a Quip among these pics? This weekend we went back to where it all began . . . our very first retailer, House SFW in Rhinebeck (along with the imaginative Double R Designs), which won Best in Show(!) at Field + Supply on the edge of the mighty Hudson at Hutton Brickyards. In the intermittent drizzle, under umbrellas by Paisley Bay that hinted at an imminent Mary Poppins landing, they showed the Power of the Tent, keeping QuipNaps in good company with pink pineapple textiles by Tyler Graphics, a polka-dotted and fringed foot stool by Double R Designs—worthy of a pampered pooch in a Paris cafe—foxy, hand-painted glassware by Elizabeth Hargraves, totes, duffles, and slippers in bright Kilim, and the curvaceous Bertrand desk by Atelier Delalain—ebonized and hand-tooled white oak that evokes the hide of a Porosus croc. In other words, what's there to be afraid of? From QuipNaps' original 'Verbal Abuse' collection, "A dangling modifier is nothing more than a decorator who hangs chandeliers."
