From Youngstown, Ohio to Brooklyn, with a stop in DC, Justin Chearno was on the music scene in DC in the early ‘90s with his band Pitchblende and later in NY with Turing Machine . He eventually settled in Brooklyn and was at the forefront of natural wine at retailer Uva and natty wine distributor Zev Rovine Selections. Justin Chearno is now a partner and wine director at the Four Horsemen in Williamsburg with his partners LCD Sound System front man James Murphy, Christina Topsoe, Randy Moon, along with Michelin starred chef Nick Curatola. So, the question is, what is a punk rocker by way of Ohio and DC doing at one of the most respected restaurants and natural wine bars in the country?
