- American Wine & The Art Of The Restaurateur
Did you know that there are more than 7,000 wineries in the US? Clearly American wine deserves its own book. While American wine has been covered before, I'm not sure it has ever been covered quite so comprehensively as it is in American Wine: The...
- Sf Chronicle: Vineyard Nurseries
If you’ve already seen the lead story in the Chronicle’s Wine section, I know what you must be thinking: “Geez, Derrick, how cliched can you get? A story about vineyard nurseries?” No, wait. I’m thinking of a different topic....
- Fair Savoie
My first significant piece for the Chronicle, about the wines of France's Savoie, appears in today's Wine section. (I also contributed to the holiday gift guide last year.) The piece is part of their new "Essentials" series, educating readers...
- Vinegar-making And Rowan Jacobsen On The Restaurant Guys
Rowan Jacobsen took the managing editor position at The Art of Eating about two years ago. He's a good editor, pushing me in different ways than Ed, and he has a colorful writing style that I like. One of his recent articles for the magazine covered...

Last Friday, the San Francisco Chronicle ran a big ad for Riedel stemware, disguised as an article about the way that the shape of a glass affects the taste the wine. I love my Riedel glasses, but author Richard Hacker forgot to ask some interesting questions. What...

Blogger Named as Chronicle's Wine Editor
Earlier this year, Linda Murphy left the editor's desk of the San Francisco Chronicle's Wine section. She launched the section, and stayed with it for years as it grew.
I recently found out that they've named their new editor, and he's a blogger! Granted, Jon Bonné just left the equivalent position at MS-NBC's award-winning lifestyle section (and thus has been my editor for my small MS-NBC contributions), but I'm sure his amuse-bouche blog earned him his wine editor street cred.
Congratulations to Jon. You'll see his hand on the helm starting October 30. (Does this make amuse-bouche a local food blog now?)
