About The Lush Life

Hi, I'm Ted McIntyre...

Born in Montreal and now based just outside of Toronto in Oakville, Ontario, I’ve been lucky enough to experience some of the finer things in life, from visiting arguably the most high-end resort in the world on Laucala Island in Fiji, to sampling legendary Burgundy wines, and from teeing it up and the most jaw-dropping golf courses in existence to interviewing celebrities with similar passions. As the founder of The Lush Life, I want to share these experiences—good and bad—with those who like to squeeze the most out of life. And remember: You don’t have to be rich to enjoy these experiences yourself. The Lush Life will keep readers informed of exceptional deals to be had in travel, wine and golf. We’re in the memory-making business here, after all, and that crosses all income brackets.

About

Here at The Lush Life, we value the finer things in life. That can mean a $2,000-per-night resort suite in Fiji, but also an undervalued $15 bottle of Ontario Cabernet Franc. It can be an unforgettable round of golf in the winds of Northern Ireland with your closest friends, or a transcendental open-air, moonlit experience alone at a spa in Scottsdale. Whatever the experience, the reviews are honest, informative and, hopefully, fun to to read, watch and listen to. If you love great wine, travel and golf, this is the place. And we want The Lush Life to be interactive, so let us know what you think.
