JET WINE BAR LAUNCHES OLD WORLD VS NEW WORLD TASTING SERIES

Jet Wine Bar, Philadelphia’s “global vineyard,” is excited to announce the launch of Old World vs. New World: A Tasting Series, which explores the differences between classic versus younger wine-growing regions – kicking off this Saturday, May 19^th, 5:30-7:30 pm.

Nick Baitzel, General Manager of Jet Wine Bar, will lead four classes in which guests will taste three Old World wines from regions like France, Spain and Italy and three New World wines from regions outside of Europe, like the United States, South Africa and Australia while exploring the impact of climate, region and New World versus Old World production styles.

“This tasting series is designed for the imbibers and adventurers among us who are excited about experiencing new wines,” said Baitzel. “Our tastings will delve into the importance of winemaking practices and regional climate and how they each affect the taste of wine.
