Travel is written into Jehan's DNA. He’s a first generation American who after having grown up on both coasts moved to Argentina where he was first exposed to the world of wine. He worked his first harvest in Calchaqui valley near Salta at 15. Upon his return to the U.S., Jehan got his start at a small Spanish and Portuguese retail importer called The Spanish Table in Berkeley, where as a buyer he went through the institution of Iberian wines. This would eventually lead to a professional life on the other side of the table as a broker with a few small California based importers and distributors such as Joli Vin and Blue Danube. In his spare time, Jehan is co-owner of a wine label called Los Chuchaquis out of Aromas, CA. He now does national sales for Bowler Imports.
