MJ’s guest this week is Eric Asimov. Eric has been the NY Times Chief Wine Critic since 2004 after having covered wine with The Times's tasting panel and in his Tastings column for the Dining section. His weekly column appears in the Food section. He is the author of “How to Love Wine: A Memoir and Manifesto,’’ as well as “Wine With Food: Pairing Notes and Recipes From The New York Times,’’ written with recipes by Florence Fabricant. Since creating the 25 under $25 column in the Times in 1992 Eric has been a passionate voice celebrating often overlooked-by-the-mainstream cuisines and wines with his readers. Eric shares colorful stories from his early career in journalism up to the recent backstory behind one of his more controversial columns re: supermarket wines. This episode is full of magic from a true New York icon, do not miss.
