Sarah Sutel Looper has spent more time than most people
obsessing over what makes a good all-purpose wineglass,
whether it's been when she worked in restaurants (Blue Ribbon,
the Metropolitan Opera House and Mas (farmhouse)) or today,
as Tasting Director for W&S. She put several popular glasses to
the test for this issue. (p. 20)

When Jane Gladstone isn't advising bankers on financial services and technology deals, she's likely studying French wine.
A frequent traveler to France, Gladstone is particularly fond of
Burgundy, where she has gotten to know winemakers, importers and wine agents, among them Becky Wasserman, who she
interviews for this issue. (p. 18)

Cover illustrator Christian Roux is a self-taught artist who lives
and works in Chartres, France. His work has appeared in many
French magazines as well as the New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post. Currently, he's writing and illustrating a children's book, his fourth with the French publisher Seuil.
