It was also shortlisted for the Andre Simon awards for food and drink books, and for a James Beard Award. Bonné's second book, The New Wine Rules, was published in November 2017. It was a more entry-level wine book, and was again generally well-received as "a myth-busting guidebook" of basic wine advice. The New York Times wrote that Bonné had succeeded "in extracting the answers from decades of overwrought expert instruction and presenting them in a clear, easygoing manner." Bonné's third book, The New French Wine, was set for release in March 2023. His publisher described the book as "a tour through every wine region of France, featuring some 800 producers and more than 7,000 wines." Bonné is a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy (class of 1990) and Columbia University (class of 1994). He grew up in New York City and Pound Ridge, New York.
