Janet Eastman has traveled the world — most recently for the Los Angeles Times — and written about everything from cloud forests to $50-million "eco-friendly" homes. Janet's favorite subject is Oregon wine. She drills hands-in-the-soil decision-makers to deliver insight on their experiments, then tests the results in a bottle. Janet lives on vineyard property in Ashland and appreciates that she no longer has to explain what Tempranillo is. She produces stories for national magazines and her popular column, Medford Wine Examiner. See more of Janet's prose and photos at www.janeteastman.com.
