BACK TO LIST- Alder Yarrow
Since January of 2004, Alder Yarrow has been publishing Vinography.com, where he writes daily about wines, the wine world, and good restaurants around the globe. San Francisco Magazine has called Alder "the wine world's brightest cyberstar," and Vinography is widely acknowledged to be the world's leading wine blog. The site, which Alder began as a way to collect his own personal notes about wine and food, has garnered praise from Food and Wine Magazine, Bon Appetit Magazine, The San Francisco Chronicle, The LA Times, The Washington Post, FastCompany, and 7x7 Design Magazine, among others.
In both his writing, as well as his selected postings of news and miscellany from the world of wine, Alder tries to create an alternative to the traditional sources and styles of wine journalism, partially by focusing on the stories, the people, and the passion behind wine from a decidedly down-to-earth perspective. Vinography was recently honored as the Best International Wine Blog in a global competition held in conjunction with the Salon de Vins de la Loire. Alder lives in San Francisco with his wife Ruth.
