Sedale McCall on Muck Rack

Sedale McCall

(He/Him)
Alexandria
Covers:  I write about untold wine stories. The wines, regions and winemakers that don't get enough recognition for their contributions to the wine industry.
Doesn't Cover: There's not a topic I won't cover. But, I am less interested in well-established narratives. If it's well covered, I'll be looking for a new or unique idea within the story.

Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

Honorable mention to the entire team from Spotlight

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No sorry

Who's your favorite fictional journalist?

Jake Gyllenhaal as Robert Graysmith in Zodiac. I loved his tenacity for uncovering the true situation so he could tell that story.

What's your favorite social network?

Instagram (@untoldwinestories) I'm usually on there daily

Who do you wish followed you?

Any person who wishes to tell meaningful stories.

Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?

No, I got into writing later in life.

What story are you most proud of writing or working on?

The JancisRobinson.com piece on Ntsiki Biyela. Or my piece on two of the four black master sommeliers.

What's your favorite drink?

Wine :-)

Aside from your own, what's your favorite publication to read?

VinePair. I love how it opens new conversations and challenges what we're seeing in the industry.

What's the most common misperception about your beat?

that I'm talking about race. My beat is about expanding how we think about wine, winemaking and winemakers/the industry.
