MJ’s guest this week is Jordan Salcito. Jordan is a sommelier and was manager at Eleven Madison Park. Her wine program at Momofuku had been named a James Beard Foundation semifinalist multiple times. In 2017 it was awarded “Most Original Wine List in the World” from World Of Fine Wine. She is the host of the podcast “Opening Up with Jordan Salcito”. Jordan is the Founder of RAMONA, an organic Italian wine spritz that can be delivered by the can right to your door. Jordan and MJ discuss her experience at the Court of Master Sommelier and how the service exam ultimately changed her career trajectory. They also discuss the differences between bio dynamic and natural wines and how the limits of space (the original Momofuku) and boundaries within the restaurant business brought about her award winning wine list and her next career move, founding Drink Ramona.
