After three years of sipping, spitting, and slogging her way through bushy vine leaves and cellar cobwebs, award-winning writer Natalie MacLean takes listeners behind the scenes of the international wine world, exploring its history, visiting its most evocative places, and meeting some of its most charismatic personalities. In Red, White, and Drunk All Over, Natalie travels to the ancient vineyards of Burgundy to uncover the secrets of the pinot noir, visits the labyrinthine cellars of Champagne to examine the myths and the mystique of luxury bubbly, and helps with the harvest at the vineyards of iconoclastic Californian winemaker Randall Grahm.

If you enjoy wine occasionally or sip to excess, Fruit in Glass is the book for you. After being in the wine industry, in different capacities, for over 15 years, I've been asked a lot of questions! So, I've taken all of those questions, put them in a book, and answered them. Fruit in Glass is there for all of your wine needs, whether you're trying to understand wine and food pairings, or are wondering why us wine professionals do the stuff we do. So, buy my book for yourself or for that wine friend that everyone of us have. Cheers!
