Eric Asimov ’79

Eric Asimov '79, a columnist on food and wine for the Dining In, Dining Out section of the New York Times, has been named chief wine critic. "Eric is an authority in the worlds of wining and dining who has earned the trust of readers and colleagues alike," said Sam Sifton, dining editor for the newspaper. "He has a rare and wonderful palate, and a big brain filled with memories of wines tasted, spat out, and savored. He has a populist's touch to explain it." Asimov is co-author of The New York Times Guide to Restaurants 2004. His previous book, $25 and Under: A Guide to the Best Inexpensive Restaurants in New York, was published annually by HarperCollins from 1995 to 1998.
