Reviews and Ratings

This wine is celebrating its 25th anniversary (can you believe it?) while Marilyn Monroe’s own career spanned only 14 years, beginning in 1947 and ending with her role in The Misfits in 1961. The wine is nicely rounded, youthful and friendly – just the sort of wine you’d like to spend the evening with, or at least take to dinner.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
