During this Karthäuserhof Experience, we had the pleasure of meeting John Jansma from the Per Se restaurant in New York. Per Se is known for its meticulously curated tasting menus and exceptional wine selection, and is considered an institution of fine dining in Manhattan. In our conversation, John shared how his journey into the world of wine began—and why, for him, wine is more than just an accompaniment to food. It is an essential ingredient that completes a dish, adding depth, balance, and emotion to the culinary experience. He also spoke about a very personal and unforgettable moment with a Karthäuserhof wine—an experience that has stayed with him. It was an honor to share his insights with someone who brings so much clarity and passion to the world of wine.
