New wine writer for Seattle Times' Pacific Northwest magazine

Braiden Rex-Johnson is taking over the wine gig for the Seattle Times' Pacific Northwest magazine.

Braiden, who is our longtime food-pairing columnist, is the author of several books, including the best-selling Pike Place Market Cookbook and the region-defining Pacific Northwest Wining & Dining.

Braiden will write about once per month on beverages (focusing on wine), with occasional destination articles thrown in. Look for her first byline in May.
