  39. My favourite beer is not one but I enjoy trying out local craft beers … support the local 🙂

  40. It varies, love trying new local craft beer & wines. Right now I’m drinking white wine, usually Pinot Grigio and love making spritzers in the hotter months.

  42. “What is your favourite wine, spirit or beer?”

    To date my favorite is the Niagara Mist Black Cherry Pinot Noir. I was gifted a bottle this past Christmas and my husband and I both loved it.

  52. My fave wine is Girls Night Out Tropical Tango and the other Pineapple one . My fave spirit is Vodka

  54. You can’t beat an ice cold beer on a hot summer’s day, like a crisp Goose Island Honker’s Ale!

  57. I am a huge fan of gin. My favourite cocktail at the moment is the Gin Mule, so delicious!

  63. I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all
    site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will
    be much more useful than ever before.

  64. I just discovered the MadJack’s line of flavoured malt beverages and I’m loving them, especially the Hard Root Beer.

  68. If you set the expertise reel down on a table and have a
    look at it via the viewer, holographic 3D pictures will pop up.
    Or you can just go to the iPhone or Android app retailer
    and obtain any VR app on there.

  71. This looked like a great event, sometimes I wished I lived closer to Toronto, so I could enjoy some of the amazing events being held!!
