 Tyler Coleman
I
talk, teach and write about wine. My first two wine books appeared in 2008: the
first tells the backstory of the wine industry in France and America; the
second is a practical guide chock full of wine recommendations. Wine Politics: How Governments, Environmentalists, Mobsters,
and Critics Influence the Wines We Drink (University of
California Press) has been called “enlightening” by Publishers Weekly and A Year of
Wine: Perfect Pairings, Great Buys, and What to Sip with Each Season
(Simon & Schuster) has been described as “witty, lively, and loaded with
common sense” by the Chicago Tribune.
This all started in my
Ph.D. dissertation on the political economy of the wine industry in France and
the United States. So yes, I am a real doctor—I don’t just play one on the web.
On this site I make good value wine recommendations and also look at the world
through the wine glass, bringing in diverse perspectives and lively reader
contributions. My wine writing has also appeared in print in Food & Wine,
Wine & Spirits, the New York Times, Forbes.com and The Guardian among other
places (see “in the media” for
complete list). I also teach wine classes at NYU and the University of Chicago,
taste over 1,000 wines a year, and give talks and tastings for individuals,
groups and corporations (see “events“).
