Today is my first post in a series for Creative Loafing called By the Glass. As Food Editor Besha Rodell mentions in the post’s introduction, the purpose is to feature a food and wine pairing at restaurants around Atlanta. Frequently wine lists don’t get enough attention, and there are certain restaurants and individual wines that deserve some love. Besha and I will be working together on this series, so you’ll usually only hear from me every other week. I look forward to reading Besha’s posts, as she has great tastes in wine and ought to have some killer finds for all of us.
I was very flattered that I was asked to be a part of this, and I’m eager to do a good job of spotlighting some really cool options around town. I think I’ll learn a lot, and it will be good for me to occasionally nudge myself towards some wines that I have not had a tendency to drink lately (I’m looking at you, Southern Hemisphere).
Hopefully it will be useful to some of you who, like me, are on that fun and never-ending educational wine journey.
