Michael Steinberger Biography

Bold and opinionated, Michael Steinberger’s approach to wine writing is as satisfying as a big glass of the finest French Bordeaux.

Gary Vaynerchuk, the social media expert and bestselling author, has called Michael, "My favorite wine writer."

Michael is a tastemaker whose opinions reverberate on both sides of the Atlantic. But neither his expertise nor his influence is limited to the rarified world of the wine connoisseur. Michael is a journalist and astute cultural observer as well. In his first book, Au Revoir To All That, he has taken on the formerly-hallowed French food culture, charting its rise, fall, and possible future, all set against the backdrop of that nation’s diminished fortunes as a world power.

Au Revoir To All That: Food, Wine, and the End of France

"Au Revoir To All That is a fascinating and knowledgeable valedictory to the greatest food and wine culture the world has ever known. Michael Steinberger is a great gourmand and a great storyteller, and he will make you care about the fate of camembert and other endangered traditions." — Jay McInerney, author of Bright Lights, Big City, A Hedonist in the Cellar, and Bacchus & Me

"Most books on food and wine are misty-eyed memoirs of great meals and happy times. Michael Steinberger's book is different; he is trying to understand the decline and fall of France as the center of the world's great cuisine. . . intelligent, interesting and complicated. You will have to read the book to get it— and you will read it with much pleasure." — Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS and author of The Post-American World

Michael blogs about wine at WineDiarist.com, offering an insider perspective and a satirist’s eye on wine culture. He also tweets on the subject @WineDiarist.

He has contributed to numerous publications including The New York Times, Saveur, Financial Times, The Economist, Food & Wine, New York Magazine, Wine Spectator, The World of Fine Wine, and Sommelier Journal. He has previously worked as a Hong Kong correspondent for Maclean's.

Michael has appeared on NPR’s Marketplace and has been featured on Morning Edition.
