About Tish.
W. R. Tish, known in the
wine trade simply as Tish, has been writing and speaking about
wine and food for more than a decade. As editor of Wine
Enthusiast Magazine from 1988 to 1998, he re-worked the
publication to position it as a spunkier alternative to other
wine magazines. Tish also has written on wine and food for
publications including In Style, Details, Private Clubs,
Beverage Media and Williams-Sonoma Taste, as well
as a smattering of Web sites.
Through his firm Wine For
All, Tish develops custom wine events, ranging from private
dinner parties to corporate team-building seminars and focused
trade tastings. He has served as a regular wine instructor
for The Institute of Culinary Education in New York City,
and as the auctioneer for the annual Hudson Valley Wine Showcase
& Auction.
Tish attended Harvard University,
where he was a literary editor of The Harvard Lampoon and
graduated with a degree in psychology. He also holds an MFA
in Creative Writing from American University. He lives in
Westchester with his wife and twin sons.
