writer and acting deputy editor

Grape escapes, p118

After 20 glossy years in print, Sydney-based journalist Anna McCooe comes into the Gourmet Traveller fold this month. Her career as a travel editor has taken her from Épernay to the Mediterranean. Still, there is no place she’d rather be than behind the desk at GT. “I’ve always admired the team, and now I get to be right amongst it,” says McCooe. In this issue, she combines two great loves – wine and travel – as she dives into Australia’s best wine regions with insider tips from top sommeliers.
