MARISSA A. ROSS

is a writer, humorist, and leisure enthusiast. She has no qualifications to write about drinking wine, aside from the fact that she has done it every day since 2011. So she's very, very qualified.

In 2015, Marissa grew out her bangs and went on to win both Editor's Choice and Reader's Choice for "Best Wine Coverage" at the Saveur Blog Awards, and was named one of Wine Enthusiast's 40 Under 40. Formerly a contributing editor for VICE Munchies, she has served as Man Repeller's 'go-to wine expert' and has been featured as one of the wine world's leading writers by Food & Wine, GQ, Elle, Esquire, Bustle, Sprudge, Imbibe, Create & Cultivate, Cherry Bombe and more. Marissa is now the Wine Editor at Bon Appétit and author of the book aptly named, Wine. All The Time.: The Casual Guide To Confident Drinking. (Plume, June 2017)

A Southern California native, Marissa lives in Los Angeles with her two dogs, one cat and one very chill husband, Ben. Outside of day drinking and night drinking, Marissa enjoys sunbathing, mid-century everything, Mexican food and Cherry Coke. She is a "texture person," and is represented by Dunow, Carlson & Lerner and CAA.
