David Lynch, the editorial director of SommSelect.com, has
been on both sides of the wine list, first as a journalist and
book author (and as a former editor at this magazine), then
as a sommelier and restaurant owner. He taps into those
experiences in this issue, parsing a few great lists and talking
to their makers to reveal their sweet spots.

Food and wine are frequent themes in the work of Siobhán
Thomas-Bupphavesa, a textile artist and former cook who
provided the botanical drawings for this issue. Riesling is her
personal favorite, a taste developed after a harvest season
picking grapes in Germany's Mosel.

Paul Hoppe, the cover artist for this issue, is an illustrator and
cartoonist, as well as an author and illustrator of picture books
and graphic novels, including the Last-But-Not-Least Lola series,
The Woods, Hat and Peanut. Born in Poland and raised in Germany, he lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His drink of
choice is German lager.
