To fund her late-night vinous habits, Natalie MacLean holds down day jobs as a wine writer, speaker and judge. An accredited sommelier, she is a member of the National Capital Sommelier Guild, the Wine Writers Circle and several French wine societies with complicated and impressive names. Funny, brainy and unapologetically tipsy, her goal in life is to intimidate those crusty wine stewards at fine restaurants with her staggering knowledge.
At the World Food Media Awards in Australia, Natalie was named the World’s Best Wine Writer. The competition received more than 1,000 entries. An international and independent panel of 47 food and wine experts selected her from a short-list of 14 nominees from the U.S., Canada, U.K., New Zealand and Australia.
Natalie’s second book, Unquenchable: A Tipsy Quest for the World’s Best Bargain Wines is packed with character sketches of obsessive personalities, travel to gorgeous vineyards, mouth-watering descriptions of food and wine, “hidden” wine education and neurotic humour. She whisks you to the mountainside vineyards of Germany, the baked red earth of Australia, and the shady verandahs of Niagara — as well as to scenic, offbeat locations in southern Italy, the Mediterranean, Argentina, Chile and South Africa — all in search of the best value bottles the world has to offer.
Unquenchable was selected as one of Amazon’s Best Books of 2011 and judges for the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards awarded it the Best Drinks Book.
