Ray Isle: Talking “Why Wine?”

Thought Leader: Ray Isle
April 26, 2024

Despite the bio I’m about to share, I think Ray Isle is one of the least pretentious people in the wine world today.

He grew up in Houston, and he learned to see wine as an adventure, an adventure that’s taken him all around the world. Ray is the longtime executive wine editor for Food & Wine as well as the wine and spirits editor for Travel + Leisure. He writes Food & Wine’s monthly “What to Drink Next” column as well as regular feature articles for both magazines.

His writing has also appeared in Departures, Wine & Spirits, Time, The Washington Post, and many other publications, and he’s been nominated three times for a James Beard Award. His new book is The World in a Wine Glass: The Insider’s Guide to Artisanal, Sustainable, Extraordinary Wines to Drink Now.
