Jay McInerney and Lora Zarubin


Fiction wunderkind-turned-oenophile Jay McInerney and former food stylist and restaurateur Lora Zarubin have worked in tandem for more than a decade as wine editor and food editor, respectively, for House & Garden magazine. Together they fan the world’s vineyards, restaurants, and specialty shops in search of the premier, not-to-be-missed wine and culinary indulgences. Jay’s monthly H&G column, "Uncorked," and Lora’s "Larder" spotlight their singular finds from around the globe. Besides his generation-defining title, Bright Lights, Big City, Jay has penned three books—all wine related—including his latest effort, A Hedonist in the Cellar: Adventures in Wine. Lora is the author of I Am Almost Always Hungry, which was nominated by the International Association of Culinary Professionals for the First Book: Julia Child Award.
