Stephanie Johnson
Italian Wine Critic
Sydney Love runs our tasting department for US wines in the Los Angeles office, where she also researches and writes stories for the magazine. She comes to W&S with a degree in English literature and creative writing from Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Georgia, and a post-graduate course at NYU’s magazine and book publishing certification program. She worked at a wine shop in Atlanta and then as a harvest intern in the Russian River Valley before joining Wine & Spirits. When she’s not running tastings, Sydney likes to travel up and down the coast to remain close to the source of California wine.


Thomas Whalen.
Sales Manager
Tom worked in fine wine sales at Zachy’s in Westchester and Crush in NYC before joining the W&S team handling advertising sales. A graduate of Skidmore College, Tom got his start in the industry through hospitality, including a stint as the GM and partner in Post Office Bar. He has also done consulting work for private clients on their wine cellars.
Tom brings a depth of knowledge to his role and, when he’s not networking with marketers, he’s busy raising his one-year-old son, listening to classic rock, or dipping back into Jon Bonné’s California Wine.

Roy Schneider Jr.
Director of Finance
Roy joined Wine & Spirits in 2003 to oversee the daily and long-term finances of the magazine. He handles cash flow works alongside the publisher to develop and fine tune strategic plans; Roy also manages basic business operations of the company—from IT to human resources. If there’s a problem, he’ll solve it.
Having begun his career on Wall Street, Roy holds an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business and has worked for a number of corporate and boutique firms from New York to Japan. While he clearly enjoys wines—having, over the years, sampled many thousands—he remains true to his Caribbean roots and maintains a primary love for rum.

Stephanie Johnson
Italian Wine CriticSydney Love runs our tasting department for US wines in the Los Angeles office, where she also researches and writes stories for the magazine. She comes to W&S with a degree in English literature and creative writing from Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Georgia, and a post-graduate course at NYU’s magazine and book publishing certification program. She worked at a wine shop in Atlanta and then as a harvest intern in the Russian River Valley before joining Wine & Spirits. When she’s not running tastings, Sydney likes to travel up and down the coast to remain close to the source of California wine.


Thomas Whalen.
Sales ManagerTom worked in fine wine sales at Zachy’s in Westchester and Crush in NYC before joining the W&S team handling advertising sales. A graduate of Skidmore College, Tom got his start in the industry through hospitality, including a stint as the GM and partner in Post Office Bar. He has also done consulting work for private clients on their wine cellars.
Tom brings a depth of knowledge to his role and, when he’s not networking with marketers, he’s busy raising his one-year-old son, listening to classic rock, or dipping back into Jon Bonné’s California Wine.
