Biography
I'm a writer, editor, and fine artist curious about nature, food, wine, and place. As an editorial strategist, I've helped launch four wine publications in addition to my own award-winning site, Maker’s Table. My own creative work centers on the intersection of nature and culture. I travel extensively to meet with people to understand what connects them to their place, and I publish my discoveries in lifestyle and trade publications. My wine writing has won the Born Digital Wine Awards and Wine Blog Awards, been finalist in the IACP Food Writing Awards, and been cited as Notable in Best American Travel Writing. I'm routinely cited as a top influencer in wine commentary.

By Meg Maker Verified| Terroir Review Verified I’m thrilled to share that two of my photographs have been shortlisted for the World Food Photography Awards 2025. For fifteen years, I’ve had privileged access to scenes of wine and food making all over Europe and North and South America. I always carry a camera, to document for my own learning and to share with others in articles and online. I’m not principally a photographer, but I try to put my visual and aesthetic training to work when focusing my lens on makers and their spaces.
By Meg Maker Verified| Terroir Review Verified Terroir writ small is land, geology. Terroir writ large is people, geography. Terroir writ large is about customs, traditions, and what the people of a land can pull forth from it. Food evolves to suit the landscape, the landscape evolves to suit the food. A dialectic. Terroir writ small is concrete (soil, grapes, wine). Terroir writ large is abstract (taste, culture, norms ). Abstractions are unsettling. Terroir is dismissed as elitist, bandied by wine writers to make their work sound important.
By Meg Maker Verified| We The Italians@ BY: Meg MakerOn the plane, Boston > JFK > Milan. My first trip to Piemonte. Not my first trip to Italy. What did I want from this visit? People, profiles, portraits. A lay of the land, physical and metaphorical. Nebbiolo's essence. Barolo versus Barbaresco. Sparkling, white, pink - will there be any, or just a lake of red, red, red?"I'd received the invitation to January's "Nebbiolo Prima Academy" last fall.
