John Blazon –John is one of the largest proponents of wine awareness in our community. He is currently Vice President of Sales for Spire Collection of wines, however, he is most well known in Orlando for his time at Disney. During his 13 years working for the House of the Mouse, he was responsible for the beverage and training programs for 55 restaurants, 20 lounges, 18 resorts, 3 theme parks and the Epcot Food & Wine Festival. Under his tenure at Disney, Jiko – The Cooking Place opened with an all-South African wine list, and Wave, a restaurant at the Contemporary Resort, with a wine list that is exclusively Stelvin enclosure (screw cap). Both wine lists were very ambitious in the eyes of the trade at the time. Thanks to John, not only is there a stage for these wines but luckily for us, these wines got their stage in Orlando.
