Brett Ashley McKenzie

Food + Wine = :)

A former politico, Brett Ashley McKenzie is a food and wine writer who believes in locally-sourced foods, the art of slow cooking, and finely-oaked Chardonnay. You can follow her food and wine musings (with a side of snark and Chicago sports fanaticism) on Twitter @Brett_anomyces.

Brett was named after her mother's favorite Ernest Hemingway character, Lady Brett Ashley from The Sun Also Rises. Brett graduated with honors from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. She has taken many food and wine courses, but believes you can learn almost everything about both through tasting. Her favorite food is fresh, and her favorite wine region is Meursault... but Sonoma is a close second.
