Jon Warner became a wine enthusiast more than 35 years ago while living in Washington, DC. Always interested in great food and cooking, studying wine became a passion. From the very beginning French and Italian wines were his primary interest. Over time he collected and drank many California “cult” cabs before returning to Europe as his favorite for food pairings. Jon has traveled to Europe 25 times with a focus on France, particularly Burgundy.
