YOU HAD ME AT PET-NAT: A NATURAL WINE SOAKED MEMOIR

Hachette Books

Rachel Signer

Rachel dreamed of being that Parisian girl with effortless cool; however, she was an under-appreciated freelance journalist and waitress in New York City. She is frustated with her life until she tastes her first pétillant-naturel (pét-nat), a type of natural wine made with no additives or chemicals. This takes her on a journey to Paris, Italy, Spain, Georgia, and finally deep into the wilds of South Australia. This allows her to face the question of whether she wants and can handle living an unconventional life that she felt she wanted.

In You Had Me at Pet-Nat, we watch as Rachel learns more about those who make this style of wine as they thumb their nose to the industry and create a product that is made with intergrity and a deep commitment. She sees the parallel to her own life and begins to understand that she must figure out how to live if she wants to be free.
