Wine Witch on Fire
with Natalie MacLean
Hosted by Julie S. Lalonde
This deeply personal memoir tells the inspiring story of a talented woman navigating the treacherous currents of the wine industry, finding her voice and regaining her power through a true connection to time and place, human terroir.
Join us for a conversation between Julie S. Lalonde and Natalie MacLean about her powerful new memoir, Wine Witch on Fire: Rising from the Ashes of Divorce, Defamation, and Drinking Too Much, now a national bestseller.
It’s the story of how one woman must resurrect her life and career in the glamorous but sexist wine industry, fighting for her son and her reputation.
Accompanied by a witty, tongue-in-cheek tasting of two complementary top-notch wines from KIN Vineyards, Natalie also shares juicy, behind-the-scenes stories about those who make, market and write about wine. This true coming-of-middle-age story is about transforming your life and finding love along the way.
