About me

GenderMale
LocationSan Francisco, California, United States
IntroductionI'm a freelance writer who has written about wine, sake and spirits for more than 10 years at newspapers, magazines and websites. Many of my best articles appeared when I was a wine writer/editor for the San Francisco Chronicle. I have been a Vice President for a wine negociant. I spent most of the '90s in Japan, where I learned to love sake. If you read Japanese, check out my book "California Winetopia." I judge wine and cocktail competitions, I teach classes in wine and sake appreciation, and I'm Chairman of the Electoral College of the Vintners Hall of Fame. If you want to know the best wine with popcorn, or answers to other burning questions, email me
