“I'm prone to tangential digressions, but I've never regretted being remarkably inconsistent:it's led me to fascinating people and interesting stories.”
Natalie MacLean, Unquenchable: A Tipsy Quest for the World's Best Bargain Wines

“I enjoyed this book very much. It made me laugh in the right places, hang my head in places, fume in places and overall, admire her pluck, honesty and resilience.

It took guts to write this. It must have been an exhausting process for the author but I hope it was cathartic too, and that the book proves useful to others similarly challenged.”
Natalie MacLean, Wine Witch on Fire: Rising from the Ashes of Divorce, Defamation, and Drinking Too Much

“The marketing message is that women need to have a reason to drink, whether it’s girls’ night, a fancy occasion, or just getting through another day of exhaustion. It’s implied that we need permission to drink, as we do when we buy things.”
