About Corkheads
Jessica Yadegaran has been a lifestyle writer and wine writer for the Contra Costa Times in Walnut Creek, California, since 2004. She discovered wine, and all its sensual and intellectual pleasures, while working at the San Luis Obispo Tribune and frolicking in the Central Coast’s burgeoning wine country. But her relationship with wine goes a bit deeper than that. Before she was born, her grandfather, an orthodox rabbi, made wine in Iran. Today, she takes wine classes, cooks Mediterranean and vows to make wine, and wine writing, fun for all. Jessica is a member of Women for Winesense and runs with a small but dedicated gang of young wine geeks who accompany her on various adventures. L’chaim!
