Ceferino Carrión left Spain as a stowaway in a cargo ship. By the time he reached Los Angeles, he was known as Jean Leon, a man who constantly reinvented himself. But who was he? A taxi driver or Frank Sinatra’s trusted waiter? The owner of the mythic restaurant La Scala in Beverly Hills or the one who served Marilyn Monroe her last supper?

Although surrounded by people on his road to success, he well knew how to maintain them at a distance and to intimately guard his secrets.

Jean Leon made another of his dreams come true: to create a unique wine. He purchased land in Catalonia and planted the very first cabernet sauvignon vines to be grown in Spain. Today the memory of this brilliant man comes to mind every time we uncork a bottle of the wine that carries his name.
