Anthony Giglio is old friend of mine from college. He and I were on the school newspaper together many moons ago, and he’s become quite the expert on all things wine-related since then. He’s the author of Food & Wine’s 2009 Wine Guide, has written numerous articles on wine and spirits for a variety of national publications, and is a former board member of the Sommelier Society of America. Trust me–he knows his stuff.

The book isn’t available until October, but in the meantime, here’s a link to some of Anthony’s Best Wine Tips from Chow.com. It’s got great information on storing wine, ordering wine in a restaurant, how to serve wine, and lots more.

Very nicely done, Gigs…I’m proud of you!
