I met Jon in 1978 when I moved to Salt Lake City from California. In search of wine knowledge, I quickly found this wonderful man who had already established a most ubiquitous wine presence in Utah.

Self-possessed of a hard-earned humility, Jon knew the value of family and the meaning and use of language. A polymath, he was fluent in french, german, italian, literature, biology, neuroscience, flyfishing, entemology, diving, as well as all the forms of skiing he learned from his best friend, his father.
Well read, well spoken, and capable of drawing on your learning and experience in ready conversation, you will be missed Jon Engen.
