Jeb Dunnuck is an American wine critic based in Colorado. He reviews wines from the Rhône Valley (North and South), Southern France, Washington, and Central & Southern California for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and eRobertParker.com, the global bimonthly wine publication and website founded by influential wine critic, Robert Parker.[1]

Career

An aerospace engineer by training, Dunnuck grew up on a farm in rural Indiana. It wasn't until 1996, when living abroad and traveling through Europe, that he became interested in fine wine.

Moving to upstate New York in 1999 to work for Lockheed Martin, and later to Colorado in 2001 to work for Ball Aerospace, he traveled extensively throughout the wine regions of Europe and the United States, where he quickly developed a passion for the wines of the Rhône valley and the Rhone Ranger Movement in California and Washington. To gain a better understanding of the business side of the wine industry, he took a temporary wine retail position in 2006.

Dunnuck launched the "The Rhône Report" publication and website in 2008 and began releasing a quarterly newsletter reviewing Rhône variety wines from around the world. Completely independent and including coverage on wines from France, Spain, Australia, and both California and Washington in the United States, the publication continued to gain in popularity and subscribers, and by 2013, was read in over 24 countries and seen as one of the leading authorities on Rhône variety wines.

In 2013, Dunnuck was approached by Robert Parker to join The Wine Advocate as a full-time reviewer.[2]

Works

Dunnuck wrote the image processing software for two NASA programs. The first was the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) instrument that’s currently orbiting Mars and the second is the Kepler program, which is NASA’s mission to search for other habitable planets.
