Episode 267 – Mack Attack: Wine, Passion & Creativity with André Hueston Mack Episode 267 – Mack Attack: Wine, Passion & Creativity with André Hueston Mack
 
Join us this week for a wildly entertaining conversation with André Hueston Mack, winemaker and owner of Maison Noire Wines! André brings his signature blend of passion and humor to our podcast, sharing stories from his time as sommelier at The French Laundry and helping to open Per Se. As he says, “The greatest foil to pretension is humor” – and he lives that mantra with his Kick-Ass Garage Wines from Oregogne (yes, that’s a French nod to Burgundy). Click the link below and give these wines a try! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing
