Synopsis

99 Bottles is 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 Hueston Mack presents readers 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 readers 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.

Goodreads review by Megan on June 22, 2023

I'm disappointed in how much I did not enjoy this book. I wasn't expecting anything specific, and only realized Andre Mack is the same guy I know from the youtube wine tasting videos a couple chapters in. There's this push within the book to be somehow unusual, to throw out the way people normally ta......more

Goodreads review by Sean on July 26, 2023

When Colin Powell wrote My American Journey, Joseph Persico told him, you have to put it ALL out there, you can take some of it back, but you can't just hold things back. If Mack had followed that advice, this could have been a really good book. But this is a book written by a very ambitious, hyper......more

Goodreads review by Laura on October 22, 2021

I bought this book impulsively after watching Andre Mack taste wines on the Bon Appetit channel on YouTube. I was very impressed by his knowledge and calm demeanor when reviewing the wines. He was fun and informative. A real pleasure to listen to. The book was not quite what I expected. It is more m......more
