Author bio
Len Napolitano was enjoying a successful career in engineering when he realized his skills in technical sales, writing, and marketing could be combined with his passion for—and knowledge in—wine. That’s when he exchanged his calculator for a cabernet. He began a new profession explaining complexity with clarity in his weekly wine column, Wineology: Intelligence for the Wine Consumer. Len later became the “wineologist” on TV’s Fine Living Network TV (now Cooking Channel) from 2003 to 2010 giving valuable wine tips to viewers. He is currently the wine columnist for Napa and Sonoma Valleys' Wine Country This Week magazine.
