Texas Years

After graduating from Columbia, Camuto worked as a reporter and editor in Texas, working for the Dallas Times Herald and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. In 1996, he founded and published the award-winning alternative newsweekly Fort Worth Weekly.[1] After selling the weekly in 2000 to New Times Media,[2][3] he moved to France with his French-born wife and their Texas-born son.


France and Books on Wine Terroirs

Since his move overseas, Camuto has contributed travel and epicurean articles for the [https://www.washingtonpost.com/?reload=true Washington Post],Wine Spectator,[4]Food & Wine, Cucina Italiana, Newsday and the Sydney Morning Herald among others. In 2013, Camuto was named a contributing editor at Wine Spectator.[5]

Camuto’s first book,Corkscrewed: Adventures in the New French Wine Country describes a pilgrimage through French wine country and was published in 2008 (University of Nebraska Press)[6] to critical acclaim. The story is of a new generation of French regional winemakers striving to preserve endangered traditions, reconnect with nature, and produce quality wines on what are oftentimes little known terroirs. In 2009 the book was translated into French (Editions Michel Lafon) under the title Un American dans les vignes: Une ode amoureuse a la France de bien vivre and it has won two distinguished literary awards: the 2009 Prix du clos de Vougeot and the 2010 Prix Jean Carmet des Vins de Bourgueil.[7]

Camuto’s second book, Palmento: A Sicilian Wine Odyssey is an exploration of Sicily, from its cuisines to its history, mores, culture, and antimafia movement. The narrative is explored through the lens of the winemakers and the wine they create in the region. Published in 2010, the New York Times wine critic Eric Asimov called it a "beautiful, enthralling work."[8]

In 2011, Camuto was hired as the main project contributor for the Michelin Green Guide Sicily(2012).
