Getting Into Wine, Sonoma 1990
In the early ‘80’s, Jordan was a stockbroker on Wall Street. To alleviate his frustration in a declining market, he began to develop an unquenchable interest in wine. In 1985, Jordan left Wall Street and enrolled at the University of California at Davis School of Enology & Viticulture. After completing winemaking internships at Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards and Acacia Winery, he graduated in 1989 and began a successful career in the wine business.
Jordan’s academic work in Enology combined with his practical winemaking experience became the foundation for challenging the conventional wisdom of the wine world. Jordan began asking new questions on topics that had been taken for granted or not previously well covered.
Jordan traveled within France to Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace, the Loire, the Rhone, Argentina, Chile, Germany, Tuscany and Piedmont. During these visits he has interviewed numerous winemakers. From these interviews he has published articles on topics such as oak barrels, fining & filtration, wild yeast, the relationship between vineyard yield and wine quality, cork, and others.
