Josh Decolongon
Originally hailing from Canada’s west coast, Josh studied science before discovering that wine was a great way to escape university studies. After a few stints, including writing for his school’s periodical and leading the university’s wine club, Josh became one of the youngest Canadians to receive his WSET diploma and become a CMS Certified Sommelier. Along with blogging and holding wine classes, Josh was a consultant at a specialty wine store and in restaurants pouring tasty libations; he eventually co-founded Endless West in San Francisco with curiosities of what the future of food and drink could become.
