who is wine me, dine me?

wine me, dine me is one woman’s opinion about food, restaurants and cooking (in Cincinnati and beyond).

Julie Niesen Gosdin is the voice behind wine me, dine me. Whether it’s simple street food, or cutting edge cuisine– she likes it all (and will try anything!).  Her background is in publishing, writing and marketing, but she’s most passionate about food, people’s relationships with food, and experiencing life (which usually involves… you guessed it).  A lifelong Cincinnatian (with a penchant for travel), she loves nothing more than sharing the hidden gems of her hometown with as many people as possible.

She is joined by her husband Terry, formerly The Boyfriend, who is a high school English teacher and former journalist for a major Southern newspaper.  He hails originally from Alabama, and with that brings perspective on all things barbecue.  You’ll occasionally see him go back to his feature-writing days by contributing a post or two to wine me, dine me and often plays photographer, too.

wine me, dine me is the top food blog in Cincinnati according to Alexa, Google, Yahoo!, and Urbanspoon (as of July, 2010, anyway), and has more than 2000 subscribers.  It was one of the original blogs included in the Cincinnati Enquirer’s award-winning Locals on Living blogger initiative, and Julie is a regular columnist for Cincinnati’s Metromix.
