Jon Aronson
Jon Aronson is a full-time wine consultant and food and wine critic. That being said, he lives the phantom lifestyle of many critics who want to be able to keep their anonymity. Avoiding the flashing bulbs of photographers, he travels the world as a correspondent for multiple publications.
Hailing from the east coast, Jon has made a career out of expressing his opinions on restaurant's food and wine selections – whether they like it or not. He is an avid cook, and wine collector spending his downtime with his wife and kids in Manhattan. He writes for Classic Wines on various topics that he may not otherwise get to fully explore in his other print columns.
