ABOUT
SCOTT
SCOTT JONES
Scott travels the country teaching folks about wine and whiskey through his company, Jones Is Thirsty.​
Scott graduated from The University of Mississippi with a degree in Magazine Publishing. After working for several years as a motion picture development executive in Los Angeles, he and his wife relocated to New York, where he earned a Culinary Arts degree from the Culinary Institute of America.​
Scott worked at Food & Wine before moving to Birmingham in 1999 to join Southern Living, where he was Executive Editor until 2011.
In 2011, he started Jones Is Thirsty with a two-pronged goal: first, to teach people about wine by sidestepping fussy wine-speak and empowering audiences to enjoy and buy wine confidently. Second, to create a pathway to give back to organizations doing important work, primarily in pediatric cancer and childhood education.
Today, he’s also the Head of Content and Partnerships at eMeals, America’s leading meal planning service.
