The Home Glass is Blair Campbell’s wine blog. To get a sense of tone and topics covered, please read Rooting for the Home Glass and Notes on a Recent Riesling.
A little bit more about me: my column on value wines, Wineau, appeared in the East Bay Express and the Monterey County Weekly from 2006 through 2010 and was named Best Newspaper Food Column by the Association of Food Journalists in 2007. I’ve also received two fellowships to the Symposium of Professional Wine Writers at Meadowood Napa Valley and a media scholarship to the Culinary Institute of America’s Professional Wine Studies program. My feature article “Confessions of a Pregnant Wine Writer” appeared on the cover of the Express in September 2010, and my additional contributions to the paper have included restaurant reviews and essays on food, wine, and books.
My additional wine writing credits include Wine Enthusiast, Better Homes and Gardens, and Wired, and you can read my Marin Magazine features on wine in the magazine’s October 2009 and October 2010 issues.
In addition to wine writing, I work as a freelance editor (more about that here). I’ve also covered food, travel, books, film, and technology for publications including On the Page magazine, Budget Travel magazine, the San Francisco Chronicle, SF Weekly, San Francisco Magazine, the Washington Post, and Mother Jones.
I currently live in Marin with my 6-year-old daughter.

Just enjoyed your EB Express feature – and wanted to thank you for it. When I was pregnant w/child #1 all I could think about from month 6 onward was a cocktail, vodka, and I am NOT really a drinker at all, a cocktail a few times a year, wine a couple of times a month. I think it was more about the not being able to rather than the wanting to, but that draw for vodka or something similar was crazy strong. Thanks for writing about it and opening up the dialogue some more…
