Welcome to Life at Table; I’m Mike Madaio, a food & wine writer based near Philly.
This Substack is about food, wine and culture, with an emphasis on obscure and/historical angles. Expect posts to generally fall into the following sections:
Italian wine: exploring lessser-known grapes, regions and producers
Culinary history: Deep dives on food and drink from a historical perspective
Other culinary geekery as inspired (what can I say, sometimes I surprise myself)
About Me
I’ve been writing about food and drink for more than 20 years. I’ve published two non-fiction books, several monographs, and I’m a certified VinItaly International Academy Italian Wine Ambassador.
