In an era where "health drinks" and "diet wines" began flooding the market, often making dubious claims, McCade ensured that the TTB’s standards remained rigorous. She championed the integrity of the label, ensuring that a bottle of "Bourbon" was truly Bourbon, and that health claims were backed by science, not marketing spin.
Throughout her career, McCade has been recognized with several awards and nominations, including a nomination for Best New Artist at the 1994 Irish Music Television Awards.
