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.

This illuminating guide will be indispensable for wine lovers looking to learn more about volcanic terroirs.

Entrepreneurial and ambitious, often the first in their fields, the women she knew in the business were leaders, mentors, and trailblazers.

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.
