Interesting interview yesterday 12/2 with Dinkelspiel on her book on the California wine industry and some of its scandals. Conducted by Michael Krasny on KQED-FM and lasts about 51 minutes. Frances has done a terrific job helping to found and writing for Berkeleyside which excels in reporting local news and for developing its Nosh food column which often scoops more established media on openings/closings and reviews.
