For over 20 years Jon has  worked as a wine retailer, consultant, wine journalist, and as a wine educator. Most recently (July 2009) he completed The Wine Academy of Spain program and is now a Certified Spanish Wine Educator. Jon has traveled to many of the world's greatest wine producing regions to further his own education. Just back from Australia's Hunter Valley, Jon has also spent time in Spain, California, New York and Canada visiting vineyards and wineries.

Currently, Jon runs a weekly educational tasting at a local wine shop, conducts wine classes at several locations, assists in the tasting room at Jones Family Winery and organizes both public and private tasting events. Jon has also taught Wine Appreciation classes at the University of New Haven.
Now that Jon has retired after 31 years of public school teaching, he is ready to devote all his energies into wine education.
