Join us in celebrating our friend Jordan Salcito’s new book Smart Mouth, a smart, witty and delightfully informative guide to discovering and embracing wine.

Jordan is an award-winning sommelier turned entrepreneur. She founded Ramona, oversaw the beverage programs for David Chang’s Momofuku restaurants, worked as a sommelier at Eleven Madison Park, and spent her vacations working at some of the world’s most storied wineries, from Comte Liger-Belair, Mugneret-Gibourg, and Domaine Dujac in Burgundy, to Bodega Chacra in Patagonia.

She is a Wine Enthusiast 40 Under 40 honoree and a two-time James Beard Award semi-finalist for Outstanding Wine, Spirits, or Beer Professional, and one of a handful of individuals to pass her Master Sommelier “Blind Tasting” Exam on her first try.
