Kate Dingwall
Food, wine, and spirits writer. Wine person.
I was born in Canada (eh), schooled in Georgia (y'all), and spent a large chunk of my adult life in Brooklyn. I'm currently living in Toronto with my black cat.
I'm a food and beverage business contributor at Forbes.com, the drinks writer at Toronto Life, a columnist at The Whiskey Wash, and a regular contributor to MAXIM, Liquor.com, and The Spruce.
My work also regularly appears in Elle CA, The Spruce, Liquor.com, Toronto Life (print + online), Eater, MAXIM Canada's 100 Best Restaurants (print + online), Porter Magazine, Wine Enthusiast, Foodism (print + online), VinePair, DuJour, CultureTrip and The Bourbon Review (print). I started my career as an editor at FLARE Magazine. A few years back, I finished my Masters of Brand Management program with a thesis on innovation in the American wine world.
I'm working on my WSET III. Full clips can be found below. Recent work on my Muckrack.
