podcast· 1h 06m· S2E22E22 - Natalie MacLean · Wine critic, Canada
For this episode, we welcome Natalie MacLean , wine writer, educator, and podcast host based in Ottawa. Known for her books and online courses, Natalie discusses how she moved from an MBA and tech marketing into wine communication and teaching. We explore Canada as context—from restaurant culture to provincial shipping limits—and why she believes anyone can train their palate with side-by-side tasting. Topics include practical buying strategies, navigating restaurant lists, food pairing made simple, and the role of women in wine. Natalie also outlines how her online classes work (live tastings, flexible learning) and why storytelling helps drinkers connect with producers and regions. From a first Brunello that sparked curiosity to making wine education more accessible, we trace how people, place, and philosophy shape the glass.
