PUBLISHER AND EDITOR

Diogo Lopes and Ágata Xavier

Claire Benoist

For Diogo Lopes, " Eating and drinking have been a passion ever since
I can remember. " Usually found on the Food & Beverage beat for the
Portuguese online newspaper Observador, he also contributed this
issue's feature on that country's famed Queijo da Serra, partnering
with his wife, photographer Ágata Xavier. Previously the photo editor of " i " newspaper, and then a writer at Sabado and Time Out Lisbon,
Xavier's photojournalism covers art, gastronomy and travel, including her shots for this issue. She prefers starters over desserts, loves to
travel, eat, and read at home in Lisbon with their uber-talented baby
and three not-quite-talented cats.

Cover Artist Claire Benoist was
born in Northern California and
raised by scientists in the Alsace
region of France. She came to the
East Coast at 16 and to New York
at 22. While her accent is mostly
gone, her upbringing left her
with a sense of wanderlust, a taste
for wine and a scientific precision
to her work, which emphasizes
detailed lighting, texture, composition and vivid color.

Jamie Goode

Elisa Carucci started taking photos of her family and friends at
age 14, then moved on to work as
a fashion photographer. Recently,
she has expanded into culinary
work with her Turin-based studio,
loftnovantadue. She shot on location at three restaurants in Piedmont for this issue's story on dolcetto and comfort food.

Following a first career as a chef in
Manhattan, Alan Tardi has been
focused on wine for the better part
of twenty years. Author of Champagne, Uncorked and Romancing
the Vine: Life, Love and Transformation in the Vineyards of Barolo,
he is also a longtime contributor
to W&S. He lived in Castiglione
Falletto for 12 years, and, while
he is now mostly back in the USA,
still considers the village his spiritual home, making him a go-to on
matters of the food and wine of
the Langhe, which he delves into
on p. 22.

Jamie Goode is a London-based
wine journalist, book author
and lecturer. Holding a Ph.D in
plant biology, he worked as a science editor prior to launching
his website, wineanorak.com. His
writing focuses on the details of
producing wine and the sensory
mechanisms of experiencing it.
He reviews Harold McGee's book
Nose Dive on p. 10.
