Per Se Restaurant

Meet John Jansma

During this Karthäuserhof Experience, we had the pleasure of meeting John Jansma from Per Se Restaurant in New York. Known for its meticulous tasting menus and exceptional wine program, Per Se is a landmark of fine dining in Manhattan.

In our conversation, John shared how his journey into wine began - and why, for him, wine is more than just a pairing. It’s an essential ingredient that completes a dish, adding depth, balance, and emotion to the culinary experience. He also spoke about a very personal and memorable moment involving a Karthäuserhof wine - an experience that stayed with him.

It was an honor to exchange thoughts with someone who brings such clarity and passion to the world of wine.
