Welcome to Bri Books! Ready to get into wine? These 8 books all about the magical world of vino can help. In this episode, I'm sharing the top 8 books for wine lovers (and beginners). Consider this the ultimate wine lover's reading list. ‘Volcanoes and Wine: From Pompeii to Napa' by Charles Frankel. This book was probably one of my favorite wine-related reads of 2023. In ‘Volcanoes and Wine,' geologist Charles Frankel introduces us to the volcanoes that are among the most dramatic and ideal landscapes for wine making. From California to the Canary Islands and beyond, Frankel gives an in-depth account of famous volcanoes and the wines that spring from their soils. He details each volcano's most famous eruptions, the grapes that grow in its soils, and the people who make their homes on its slopes. This illuminating guide will be indispensable for wine lovers looking to learn more about volcanic terroirs.

($20) (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Penguin Random House, Target, Abe Books) ‘Movers and Shakers: Advice from the Women Changing the Alcohol Industry' by Hope Ewing. This book is a collection of industry advice and tips, beverage history lessons, and feminist takes on the professional challenges faced by women in the alcohol industry. Hope Ewing dissects how women are paving the way and creating a more inclusive and sustainable world full of delicious drinks. A veteran bartender, Ewing had grown impatient with the surprisingly outdated perceptions of women in the alcohol industry. Entrepreneurial and ambitious, often the first in their fields, the women she knew in the business were leaders, mentors, and trailblazers. In ‘Movers and Shakers', Ewing seeks out the ambitious, entrepreneurial women business leaders, mentors, and trailblazers, and shares their stories with us (along with invaluable advice and insights into a wildly and rapidly evolving industry. ($17) (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Thriftbooks) ‘VineMeUp: An Activity Book Celebrating The Melanated Wine Enthusiast' by Sarita Cheaves. – Created shortly after the beginning of the pandemic lockdown, Sarita Cheaves channeled her wine knowledge and her love for all things quirky and quizzical into this brilliant and delightful activity book.

How much time do you really spend on your phone in 24 hours? Have you ever missed an important engagement or been late to work because you were scrolling on your favorite app? As soon as you open your eyes in the morning do you grab your phone to see what happened overnight on the 'gram? The ladies lock into a documentary titled The Social Dilemma (for your viewing pleasure on Netflix). The Dilemma...are tech companies really manipulating our psyches and slowly turning us into human robots? If you spend more time with your phone than with family and friends...the short answer is YES! High rates of depression, seclusion, body image issues and suicidal attempts comes with the click of your fingers. Social media can be amazing but these tech companies are also using it for their own agenda...to suck you into the matrix of advertising. The more we click the fatter their pockets get! Maine brings the ladies out of the matrix by indulging in Chateau Cap L'Oustea, a red blend from Haut-Medoc, France; and a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon titled "In Sheep's Clothing" from none other than Andre Mack.

Another completely fire week in the books, starting with my brand new Podcast, #BrownPaperBags. Definitely make sure you give this one a listen - I sit down and do a blind wine tasting with Victoria's Secret Supermodel Erin Heatherton, Editor in Cheif of PureWow, Mary Kate McGrath and award winning winemaker and sommelier Andre Mack and things get wild. If you haven't heard this one you're missing out. Loved kicking off the first selection of Vaynernation reads, and of course throwing back to my overnight success video. Hope you guys love this one ;)

What do Sommelier Andre Mack, Victoria's Secret Angel Erin Heatherton, PureWow Editor In Chief Mary Kate McGrath and I have in common? We love wine. So, we sat down and did a blind tasting, with wines sent over from Wine Library and man did this episode blow up. If you're not a wine fan, don't worry- is may still be one of the most FIRE episodes ever - we dove deep into evvvverything. Can't wait to do another one of these, so let me know your thoughts on this format!

This week I sit down with André Hueston Mack founder of Mouton Noir Wines. If you haven't heard about him yet, stay tuned because his brand is turning into a household name. If you ever thought to yourself "this can't be as good as it gets for me," then this interview is specifically for you. We learn about Andres humble beginnings working at McDonald's, and a passionless job in the corporate world. He knew nothing about wine, got influenced watching Frasier and turned that passion into a career as a well-paid Wine consultant for top restaurants. Eventually, he turned that new career into a business and now Mouton Noir is one of the top brands in the world. Andre drops plenty of gems and gives entrepreneurs the hard lessons he has learned on his journey so far.
