Favourite grape or wine region?

So hard to pick just one! But if I had to, my favourite varietal would be Chardonnay and my favourite wine area would be Northern Italy (for white wines).

What’s one thing that people would be shocked to know about you?

That I was a vegetarian for over 8 years! Shocking.

What song would you pick for karaoke?

The only answer for both karaoke and staff party dances: Livin’ On A Prayer by Mr. Jon Bon Jovi.

Lucas Mader's Picks

Crowd Pleasing + Entertaining


The holidays can be a lot of things for a lot of people. But no matter the situation, the folks at Burnside Brewing have the beer for you. Enter, Happy Place DIPA – 568ml of tropical, juicy, Double IPA. For $6.00 a can you’ll be well on your way to making new friends at the local street hockey tournament you weren’t invited to, finally taking the mic at your staff party karaoke night, or convincing yourself to eat the other half of that pound cake in the fridge.
