Started at the Bottom, Now We Here. How to Sell More Than a Billion Dollars Worth of Wine with John Kapon.

MJ’s guest this week is John Kapon.  John is the third-generation chairman of Acker, America’s oldest wine merchant, which has sold fine and rare wines since 1820. He led the firm as it became the largest fine and rare wine auction house in the world. A leading fine wine expert and master taster, Kapon is the author of The Compendium: Tasting the World’s Finest Wines (Vol. I), an insider’s glimpse into the exclusive world of fine wine. MJ and John’s relationship goes way back to the 1990’s when MJ worked for John at Acker. They discuss John’s unparalleled career as well as some deep dives into a few of his favorite bottles. A huge thank you to John Kapon! Follow him @john.kaponFollow Acker @ackerwinesJump into an auction, shop and discover the world of fine wine at https://www.ackerwines.com/This episode’s in studio wine:1990 Joseph Drouhin Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche1990 Domaine Jean-Loius Chave Hermitage ______________________________________________________________Until next time, cheers to the mavericks, philosophers, deep thinkers and wine drinkers! Don’t forget to subscribe and be sure to give The Black Wine Guy Experience a five-star review on whichever platform you listen to.For insider info from MJ and exclusive content from the show sign up at Blackwineguy.comFollow MJ @blackwineguy Thank you to our sponsor Wine Spies!
