The blog's author and founder, Alder Yarrow, a graduate of Stanford University, runs an interactive design and strategy consulting firm in San Francisco and also serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of Sommelier Journal and as a nominating member for the Vintners Hall of Fame.

The name is a portmanteau of vino, the Latin root meaning "wine", and the Greek word graphein, meaning "write".
