She won an award for her homebrew in 2003.

What is your desert island food?

I love, and miss, authentic NYC bagels. I would do all kinds of intemperate things for a breakfast sandwich from 5th Ave Bagels in Park Slope.

What is your favorite condiment?

Malt vinegar. Nothing else. Ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard are an unholy trinity.
