This blog is a home for my musings on wine, books, writing, etc. I hope you enjoy. Cheers!

Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by. My name is Isaac James Baker, and I’ve worked as a freelance writer, editor, newspaper reporter, and all sorts of random word-related jobs. I studied journalism at LIU-Brooklyn and received a master’s in writing from Johns Hopkins University. I’ve worked the wine bar, the harvest, the crush, and studied wine with the Court of Master Sommeliers and the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. When I’m not tasting wine or writing, I’m probably reading books or chasing surf around East Coast beach breaks. I contribute to the award-winning daily wine blog
