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

Picks for Spring + St. Patrick’s Day


March is a weird month – in years past it was the month that I dove into my cellar to try out weird and unique drinks. This year, I’m taking a mellow approach and (during the week) working my way through our growing lineup of non-alcoholic offerings. I have yet to find a hoppy non-alc beer that drinks as good as the Stay Classy IPA from Bellwoods. This beer is so clean and refreshing while maintaining more texture and flavour than many other NA beers on the market. Having just been to Bellwoods last week, I got to see first hand just how much effort and technology goes into their non-alc offerings, and if you haven’t tried one yet – now’s the time!
