Let’s raise a glass to fellow winelover Natalie MacLean nataliemaclean.com/book, our 
first Thursday’s Thirsty Girl from north of the border. A fabulous Canadian
 woman of wine who is not only an accredited sommelier, she’s a writer with 
creds…lots of them. Just a few include Louis Roederer Online International Wine
 Writer of the Year, World’s Best Drink Writer by the World Food Media Awards, 
and James Beard award-winning wine writer. (We’re thirsty just thinking about dusting
 all those trophies.) Natalie writes an informative newsletter called Nat Decants 
and has a smart and irreverent book out entitled Red, White and Drunk All Over: A Wine-Soaked Journey 
from Grape to Glass. Cheers to the wonderful, witty Ms. MacLean!
