2026 Wine Tasting

Jet Wine Bar

Not many wine tastings explore the impact dinosaur footprints in the Dolomites might have on reds from Trentino or ponder the role Greek mythology has on Mediterranean blends. But for Jill Weber, archaeologist and owner of Jet Wine Bar, those kinds of rabbit holes are just part of the tasting notes for her quirky wine series. Every month, Weber pairs singular varietals from lesser-known regions with rousing lectures that examine viticulture from peculiar perspectives — think pours of Valle d’Aosta reds during a presentation about Hannibal and his elephants crossing the Alps. Prepare for lots of wine and to walk out with some fascinating dinner-party trivia.
