Mary Ewing-Mulligan has coauthored six wine books in the Wine For Dummies series (including two favorites, French Wine For Dummies and Italian Wine For Dummies) as well as her latest book, Wine Style (Wiley); taught hundreds of wine classes together; and visited nearly every wine region in the world. Mary is president of International Wine Center, a New York City wine school that offers credentialed wine education for wine professionals and serious wine lovers. As U.S. director of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET®), the world’s leading wine educational organization, she works to make the courses she offers in New York available in more and more parts of the United States. She is also the long-standing wine columnist of the NY Daily News. Mary’s most impressive credential is that she’s the first female Master of Wine (MW) in the United States, and one of only 22 MW’s in North America (with 251 worldwide). Besides co-authoring six wine books in the For Dummies series with Mary, Ed McCarthy went solo as author of Champagne For Dummies, a topic on which he’s especially expert. Ed and Mary also share wine columns in Nation’s Restaurant News and in Beverage Media, a trade publication. They are each columnists for the online wine magazine, WineReviewOnline.com. Ed and Mary are both accredited as Certified Wine Educators (CWE). Learn more about the "For Dummies" book series here: Dummies.com The show is hosted by Bob Andelman of Mr. Media Radio.
