A highly opinionated wine guide from one of the country’s most celebrated - and unorthodox - sommeliers and winemakers

In this entertaining, informative, and thoroughly unconventional wine guide, award-winning sommelier, winemaker, and wine educator André Mack presents listeners with the 99 bottles that have most impacted his life. Instead of just pairing wines with foods, Mack pairs practical information with personal stories, offering up recommendations alongside reflections on being one of the only African-Americans to ever work at the top level of the American wine industry. The 99 bottles range from highly accessible commercial wines to the most rarefied Bordeaux on the wine list at The French Laundry, and each bottle offers listeners something to learn about wine. This window into Mack’s life combines a maverick’s perspective on the wine industry with an insider’s advice on navigating wine lists, purchasing wine, and drinking more diverse and interesting selections at home. 99 Bottles is a one-of-a-kind exploration of wine culture today from a true trailblazer.

Thoughtful and reverent all the while being entertaining and funny. Mac’s unique journey in wine is told in a narrative that anyone who likes wine will enjoy. Great read for all ages over 21, I guess but will bring back fond memories for those who cut their teeth in wine in the late 90s and early two thousands. Mac’s not afraid to sling a little mud and tell the stories behind the scenes.

I love the way Mack pairs wine with life. While this is a book about wine, it’s also about the journey of life, the experiences that wine can create and inspiration.

I bought this book because I love André Mack’s collaboration with Bon Appetit on YouTube. I am so glad he read his own book. Definitely makes this worth the listen. His story was a fun listen and hopes he writes and reads another. I love a book about wine that isn’t so damn serious!

Because wine and wine people are fun
