BACK TO LIST- Linda Murphy
Linda Murphy is the West Coast Correspondent for Jancisrobinson.com and Decanter Magazine.. Formerly, she was the wine editor of The San Francisco Chronicle, the only newspaper in the United States to publish a weekly, stand-alone wine section. 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' former wine Web site.
Linda 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.
