Jonathan Pey
Jonathan Pey was born on the East Coast, growing up with a Dutch
father. As a teenager Jonathan moved with his family to Paris, France for three
years where his cheeseburger and Coca-Cola upbringing collided face-first with
the culture of the fine wines of Burgundy and Bordeaux. These influences played
important roles in swinging his interests toward the production fine wine.
Upon his return to America Jonathan earned a Bachelor of Science
in Agronomy, a Masters in Business Administration and attended UC Davis
winegrowing courses.
Since 1985 Jonathan has enjoyed a broad, successful career in
the wine business, tasting, listening and learning while working with some of
the leading winemakers in the world; Jacques Lardiére (Domâine Louis Jadot),
Christian Moueix (Petrus), Peter Gago (Penfolds) and Mr. Robert Mondavi.
In 2004 Jonathan and his wife Susan founded TEXTBOOK

Rutherford and Napa Valley wines. Robert Parker recently noted; “TEXTBOOK
