Overview

With her signature conversational style, Natalie MacLean takes readers on a whirlwind journey through the world of wine, searching for great taste at a low cost. By turns confessional - with guilty admissions from a penny-pincher who loves simple pleasures -and spirited, Unquenchable is informed by MacLean's decade-long career as an award-winning wine writer. There's plenty to take away from her inspired recommendations for food pairing to lists of favorite value wines and vintners, plus plenty of pointers that will enhance drinking pleasure.
