pickRaw and riveting, this takes you on a journey across the gamut of human emotion. You'll feel like you're talking to MacLean over a glass of wine as she shares her story of losing it all, only to rise from the ashes wiser and stronger. Anyone who's run into the “good old boys club“ will find the story relatable. I'm coming away from the story with new perspectives on how to tackle some of life's big lessons. This will be a book you can't put down!
pickI thoroughly enjoyed this memoir about a female wine reviewer who runs into the 'old boy network' and survives to tell her tale. She also is very open about her failed marriage, love life and raising a son. It brought forth a series of emotions as I read it, including laughter, tears and anger. It was a wonderfully entertaining read as well as an eye opener. This is a book for memoir fans, wine aficionados, and those who read books on gender. 4.5
tons of puns, And many recollections. Some will make you laugh at loud, some are truly cringeworthy, and some will make you want to scream in frustration for Natalie. Natalie shows us another side of the wine world that's often thought of as only glamorous and romantic. Honest, touching, emotional, humorous... Richly layered with plenty of depth and dimension, sit down, get comfy, and enjoy this with your favorite glass of wine 🍷 Also, Check out Natalie's. Other books… I've read and re-read, listened, and am relistening to them! 12mo
