Jeremy Quinn

Wine Director // Living in France more than a decade ago, Jeremy developed an instinct for wine with a generous friend and his deep cellar of Burgundy and Bordeaux. While the goal which took him there, studying French literature in the original, remains a work in progress, he’s delighted to feel the vinous instinct rapidly become a passion, and no less lifelong a pursuit. He took a Bachelor’s degree in Fiction Writing from the University of Montana in 2000, and has served as the sommelier at Webster’s Wine Bar, Chicago’s oldest, since 2003, completing his sommelier certification in June 2006. By more refined wine writing and frequent travel, he hopes to convey the philosophy of small-production, often biodynamic, hand-crafted wines to a wider audience, while exploring the historical and geographic determinations which create a fine wine.
