Consigli DiVini - » Nat Decants…

The internet is such a wonderful medium. Yes, it does have its vulnerabilities, but it’s such a great way to connect with the rest of the world and gain access to a plethora of information.

I’ve come across some really wonderful websites lately – from Vinopolis: City of Wine to The Wine Society - sites that I hope you’ll enjoy checking out, too (when and if you do, feedback to me, let me know what you think of them).

Another site I’d like to introduce you to (that is if you don’t know of it already ‘cos it’s brilliant!) is a cleverly-titled site called Nat Decants. It’s always encouraging and inspiring to see people doing what they love doing and you can tell that Natalie MacLean (wine lover, writer and accredited sommelier) DEFINITELY loves what she does. From her published books to her articles to her newsletters to her impressive bio, this woman drinks, breathes and sleeps wine.

Not only is she indulging in her passion with vigour, but she seems to be touching other people with it, having won several awards for her food writing. And her book - Red, White and Drunk All Over: A Wine-Soaked Journey from Grape to Glass – well, what a title! (don’t you think?)

We seem to have written on some of the same topics, too (from different angles) which is great! – I feel a bond! - Wine tasting parties, Cheese and Wine pairings, Gifts for Wine Lovers, and there’s one on her site about Muscat wine/grape (used in different parts of the world - Italy uses it to make a range of sparkling wines called ‘Asti’).

Did I also mention that she’s a speaker and judge, too? What an amazing individual! More power to her. May the wine gods forever smile into her glass of Chianti!

Hope you enjoy the site.

Ciao!
