Natalie MacLean offers valuable insights about wine pairings, history, and industry trends. I feel like I’m having a conversation with a friend when I listen to her episodes. And her guest speakers have given me wine-related insights and knowledge of resources I would have never learned about otherwise. Highly recommended!
And on a related note: if you haven’t yet read her book: "Wine Witch on Fire: Rising from the Ashes of Divorce, Defamation and Drinking Too Much", then go check it out - ... more
Apple Podcasts5NTWine25United States3 months ago - Episode 363 - Why Does the Term “Mocktail” for Zero Proof Non-Alcholholic Drinks offend
I really appreciated listening to this episode with Elva Ramirez as Natalie’s guest. The podcasts are highly engaging, witty, expressive and clear, as is her writing. I especially enjoyed this episode to learn how much similar prep work and time goes into zero-proof drinks just like drinks containing alcohol. I also look forward to reading Elva’s book on mixing cocktails for any of my occasions! Sharon
