JB Severin
General Manager
JB Severin is the General Manager of the Wine House and the Dean of The Wine House Education Program. His motto “The more you know, the more you enjoy, the more you spend” (now you know how he got to be the Manager), is supported by his unswerving dedication to a strong consumer wine education program. With a NASA program director’s sang froid (French for “cool”) he launches and coordinates hundreds of wine events per year with nary a glitch. Well, okay, maybe a glitch or two. And as a 15-year veteran of the Wine House staff, he has the unique ability to assist and direct you in all of your wine buying needs. (He also knows where all the bodies are buried.)
