Based in Ottawa, Natalie MacLean has an international reputation as wine writer, speaker and judge. An accredited sommelier, she is a member of the National Capital Sommelier Guild, the Wine Writers Circle and several French wine societies. Natalie's book Red, White and Drunk All Over: A Wine-Soaked Journey from Grape to Glass takes her readers behind the scenes of the international wine world-exploring its history, visiting its most evocative places, and meeting its most charismatic personalities.

Here are some interesting interviews that Nat has done with magazines and newspapers recently, including those about matching wine with beef bourguignon with Chicago Tribune and the Orlando Sentinel, wine and chocolate matching with the Dallas Morning News, wines for first dates and mature relationships with Northern Virginia Magazine, food and wine trends in 2008 with Winnipeg Free Press, the Telegraph-Journal, The Hamilton Spectator, The Chatham Daily News and The Niagara Falls Review, and somehow I got thrown into the February issue of More Magazine for their Top 40 Women list, presumably because they save one spot for the woman with the greatest alcoholic tolerance in the country.

Enjoy our excerpt from Nat’s 50 Ways to Keep Your Lover this Valentine’s Day it’s all about delicious ways to pair wine and chocolate.
