Book Overview

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER - FINALIST FOR 2024 TASTE CANADA AWARD - CULINARY NARRATIVES - FINALIST FOR THE 2024 OTTAWA BOOK AWARDS

A powerful memoir about one woman who resurrects her life and career in the glamorous but sexist wine industry.


Natalie MacLean, a bestselling wine writer, is shocked when her husband of twenty years, a high-powered CEO, demands a divorce. Then an online mob of rivals comes for her career.

Wavering between despair and determination, she must fight for her son, rebuild her career, and salvage her self-worth using her superpowers: heart, humour, and an uncanny ability to pair wine and food.

Natalie questions her insider role in the slick marketing that encourages women to drink too much while she battles the wine world's veiled misogyny. Facing the worst vintage of her life, she reconnects with the vineyards that once brought her joy, the friends who sustain her, and her own belief in second chances.

This true coming-of-middle-age story is about transforming your life and finding love along the way.

Raw and Riveting

Raw and riveting, Wine Witch On Fire takes you on a journey across the gamut of human emotions. You'll feel like you're talking to MacLean over a glass of wine as she shares her story of losing it all, only to rise from the ashes wiser and stronger, all while sharing what feels like insider information on the wine industry. Most people, especially women, will find the story relatable. I found some of my biggest strengths and...
