It’s a good day when we can get an expert at the top of their game to join us in the studio. Writer and editor Jon Bonné is just that in the wine game—but he’s also an erudite observer of food and culture trends. In this action-packed episode, we talk about his monumental new book, the two-volume The New French Wine. We discuss France as a source but also a construct, and we dive into some of Jon’s restaurant reporting at Resy, where he serves as managing editor. We also talk about his work at TASTE, including his longtime obsession with salade composée.

Also on the episode, Aliza and Matt talk about three things are are liking each, including Anna Hezel’s new book, Eric Kim’s gochujang noodles, Dan Ahdoot writing a cool thing, GT’s Synergy classic kombucha, save the diner!
