In this bodice-ripping wine book that got widespread and excellent reviews in hardcover, multiple James Beard and IACP award-winning writer Natalie MacLean's journey through the international world of wine is the perfect companion for neophytes and wine aficionados alike. Includes a new chapter with answers to questions about the trickiest foods to pair with wine: chocolate, cheese, vegetarian dishes, take out, and some spicy cuisines that are not traditionally thought of as wine friendly. Praise for Red, White, & Drunk All Over: "[Natalie MacLean's] relationship with wine is sensual, very personal and she acknowledges, and occasionally embraces, an aspect of it virtually ignored by most wine books: its delightful effect on the nervous system. She has very cleverly wrapped a wine primer in such appealing anecdote that any reader, male or female, should find learning about wine completely painless." —Jancis Robinson, author of The Oxford Companion to Wine "There's something sensuous about Natalie MacLean's new book ... check that: There's a lot that's sensuous about her charming and disarming paean to the wine world. 'Red, White and Drunk All Over' is a passion play of sorts (with wine as her religion), starring sundry luminaries of the wine world, not least among them the author...With enough wit and wisdom to fill a magnum-sized decanter, MacLean imparts knowledge without seeming 'teacherly,' thanks in part to a conversational style that never seems 'writerly.'" -Minneapolis Star Tribune "[A] wonderfully witty wine industry expose...Readers will appreciate MacLean's infectious curiosity and her demystification of a seemingly intimidating world. Like a well aged wine, her enthusiasm is irresistible." -Italian Cooking and Living Magazine "This breezy read, told through the lens of personal experience, is a perfect pick-up for the passionate novice wh Terrific. Natalie MacLean writes about wine with a sensuous obsession. Eminently readable-and often laugh-out-loud funny.-Rex Pickett, author of Sideways
