Books
Cole is the author of three books. Voodoo Vintners, published in 2011, reveals the mysteries of biodynamic winegrowing, and the Oregon winemakers behind this revolution. She first became interested in the topic after tasting an Oregon Pinot Gris that had been made with biodynamic grapes. Voodoo Vintners explores the history of biodyamic winegrowing and includes a chapter which addresses criticism of the movement. The book was a finalist in the Louis Roederer International Wine Book of the Year, in the International Wine Writers' Awards. In 2013, she published Complete Wine Selector: How to Choose the Right Wine Every Time. In Complete Wine Selector, Cole organizes the wines by "style" rather than by region or variety. She also writes Complete Wine Selector in a "chatty, approachable style." Cole published How to Fake Your Way Through a Wine List in 2015. The Wall Street Journal has recommended How to Fake Your Way Through a Wine List for beginner wine drinkers.
Personal life
Cole holds degrees from Harvard College and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and two daughters.
