Tom Gable, a native Californian, has been writing about wine for more than 40 years.

Soon, his weekly wine column was syndicated through Copley News Service to more than 400 newspapers. He also contributed frequently to travel, wine (Wine Spectator) and inflight publications (United, Delta) before moving into a full-time career in public relations (www.nstpr.com). He continues to cover wine as contributing wine writer for San Diego Magazine and writes about wine, food and travel for magazines, newspapers and various blogs.
Tom has judged at major wine competitions in the U.S. and traveled extensively in the winemaking areas of the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, South Africa, South America, Mexico and New Zealand.
