Juan and Lindsay spend extended time in Catalunya each January, while the restaurants are closed. Today, alongside the vibrant cuisine of chef-husband Juan Lopez Luna, the wines of Vin I Vida are at the heart of the couple’s restaurant Alma, and at their newest project, Tinc Set.

She worked in the vineyards and the cellars of the region’s most exciting winemakers, developing incredible friendships, eventually leading to importing the wines to Québec, and to Canada.

Between 20, Lindsay made 7 trips back to Catalunya, attempting to grasp an in-depth understanding of the full cycle of the vine from harvest to harvest. The warm September sun, evening swims in the ocean, the anchovies, and most importantly, the wines led to multiple trips between Barcelona and Montréal. Lindsay took a last-minute trip to Banyuls in the midst of harvest in 2016 and immediately fell in love with the salty, sun-kissed wines and people. Importations Vin i Vida is a project that was inadvertently born in the heart of Catalunya. Lindsay Brennan is the founder of Importations Vin I Vida and the co-owner, with her chef-husband, Juan Lopez Luna, of Alma and Tinc Set in Montréal, Québec. Sommelière Founder, Importations Vin I Vida Co-owner, Alma and Tinc Set Today, Chandler Honey is available at Hudson’s Bay, Walmart.ca, and Amazon.ca, and Tique has been featured as a Young Entrepreneur with Shopify. Chandler Honey takes raw honey from her parents’ farm and adds a special twist to it by infusing it with natural ingredients, creating unique flavours such as Crème Brûlée, Lemon & Ginger, and Piña Colada honey. Tique founded her business, Chandler Honey, in November 2020.

To this day, her best friends (and husband!) came from her time at Sauder. She attended UBC Sauder from 2011 to 2016, involved in the Co-op program, JDC West, and 486R with Bob Elton. She spent her childhood surrounded by bees and learned beekeeping as a teenager, and always thought there was a magical element to honey. Tique Chandler grew up in the small town of Scandia, Alberta, on Canada’s largest beekeeping operation. Tique Chandler, BCom’16 (she/her/hers) – Toronto Questions?
