Stuck at home and miss the pleasure of culinary tastings? You’re not alone. But who says that social distancing can’t be virtually fun and gourmet?

South Street hotspot Jet Wine Bar recently announced a fun and creative way for all wine aficionados to spice up their daily quarantine, and it’s going to be extra tasty. Those looking to make their day extra special can indulge in JWB’s new free and virtual wine consultations from General Manager and sommelier Nick Baitzel. Baitzel regularly uses his knowledge to curate the rotating wine lists at Jet Wine Bar, and with the establishment regularly being called Philly’s own “global vineyard,” it’s safe to say he really knows his stuff.

No matter what you’re cooking up during your time self-isolating, whether it’s a full-fledged Italian feast, a low-key vegetarian dinner or maybe even just a smorgasbord of your favorite snacks, Baitzel will be able to clue you in on the best wine to pair with your food via phone (215-735-1116), email (nick@jetwinebar.com) or through Jet Wine Bar’s DM’s (@jetwinebar).
