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

🐰 Easter Pairing: Turkey


Kate, Michael, and Genny have you covered for the mid-dinner pairings, so i’ll make sure your whistle is wet pre-dinner. Vermouth may not be in the spotlight lately, but let me tell you; Vermouth is about to be cool and this white vermouth from Spain is how you’re going to show your friends how ahead of the trend you are. 

Casa Mariol Vermut Blanco is so aromatic with aromas of rosemary and thyme, citrus notes and touches of vanilla that lead into a sweet and refreshing palate. Serve on ice with a lemon peel and 2 olives, and you’ll be ready to enjoy that Easter dinner that awaits.
