Since 2021, Jonathan Cristaldi has served as the Napa Valley correspondent and critic for Decanter, an authoritative UK-based magazine distributed to over 90 countries with a reach of over 2 million subscribers. Cristaldi has produced extensive reports on Napa Valley Cabernet, the California wine scene, and beyond. Cristaldi is also the Editor-at-Large for The SOMM Journal and Tasting Panel Magazine.
Cristaldi’s written work has appeared in Food & Wine, Departures, The SOMM Journal, Tasting Panel Magazine, Liquor (dot) com, Seven Fifty Daily, Los Angeles Magazine, Thrillist, Tasting Table, Time Out LA, First We Feast, Vivino, Psychology Today, Distinct, and The Montecito Journal. Cristaldi also scripts film and documentary projects with award-winning commercial director and photographer Rachid Dahnoun.
Time Out NY named him a “Wine Prophet” for his witty and avant-garde approach to wine education. He was the mastermind behind “The L-Train Luncheon,” an experiential New York City subway car event that was covered by The New York Times.
