Linda
Murphy is the wine editor of The San Francisco Chronicle, the
only newspaper in the United States to publish a weekly, stand-alone
wine section. Chronicle Wine section content, which includes coverage
of beer, spirits, food and wine pairing and cheese, is also syndicated
in 15 newspapers in the United States.
After 13 years
as a sportswriter at The San Diego Union, Linda traded a beer
and a shot for Sauvignon Blanc, moving to Sonoma County to live
among the vines. After one harvest of dragging hoses and pumping
over tanks, she discovered that writing about wine was a lot more
fun than making it, and she’s been writing ever since. Linda
has contributed to Decanter, The Wine News and Food & Wine
magazines, and was the managing editor for WineToday.com, the
New York Times' belated wine Web site.
She is an
experienced wine competition judge and learned the wine business
from the inside, as a communications and marketing director for
wine companies in California, Oregon, Washington state, Australia,
New Zealand and Italy.
