What a great podcast! Amazing interviews with a fantastic host. I’ve learned so much about wine with UWT and I can’t wait to learn more!
This is one of my favorite wine podcast. Natalie is so much fun to listen to. I particularly loved the two episode episodes with Cha McCoy. That woman is very knowledgeable and thinks outside the box.
Natalie MacLean offers valuable insights about wine pairings, history, and industry trends. I feel like I’m having a conversation with a friend when I listen to her episodes. And her guest speakers have given me wine-related insights and knowledge of resources I would have never learned about otherwise. Highly recommended!
And on a related note: if you haven’t yet read her book: "Wine Witch on Fire: Rising from the Ashes of Divorce, Defamation and Drinking Too Much", then go check it out - ... more
I really appreciated listening to this episode with Elva Ramirez as Natalie’s guest. The podcasts are highly engaging, witty, expressive and clear, as is her writing. I especially enjoyed this episode to learn how much similar prep work and time goes into zero-proof drinks just like drinks containing alcohol. I also look forward to reading Elva’s book on mixing cocktails for any of my occasions! Sharon
