Don't forget about the new bog site :  http://jetwinebar.tumblr.com/

We have pretty pictures, full menu, and audio!

We are slowly phasing out this one, so go take a look.  More importantly, come in to Jet!

You say Albariño, I say Alvarinho...        …

Dear Members -  We will be slowly phasing out this Ning blog site for a tumblr site.  I am really excited about it because it lets us put multiple postings up at once and photos in larger format, and I can easily put the glass menu and events in an optimal format for viewing and changing frequently.  I hope you will all take a look: http://jetwinebar.tumblr.com/

Cheers!

Last night was Mardi Gras for some, and a wine tasting for us!  This installment of our Global Passport Tasting Series was focused on grapes and styles that originated in Italy, but were transplanted to Argentina.  As always, the tasting was led by Bob Barrett, certified expert of wine and all-around nice…

Our goal at Jet is to bring you unusual wines - whether they be unusual grapes, unusual regions, or atypical grapes from atypical regions.  This wine is one of the latter:  Brazilian wines are yet relatively new to the US market, and while many people are familiar with Chardonnay, it is not…

Every Sunday we offer a special soup, stew, or other comfort dish and pair it with a wine from the same region.  For the month of February, we will be in Piemonte!

Piemonte, or Piedmont, is located in Italy's Northwest alpine region along the French and Swiss borders. It is home to one of my favorite cities in…

Tuesdays are all about YOU. 

We let you buy wines by the half-glass (for half price!), or choose three different wines to build your own flight for $10!  We think its a great way to drink your way through the menu and find…

Last night Jet had the pleasure of pouring samples of two our wines for an audience of the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society (PCMS).  What is the PCMS?  In their own words:

Welcome to the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society (PCMS)…

UPDATE: POSTPONED…

Monday, Monday...

Get your Martini Card and order a Martini!

What do you know, its Monday again!  Never fear, we can help you make this a great…

We will soon have a new wine on the menu, Quattro Mani Tocai from Slovenia.

This is the third Slovenian white we have had on the menu at Jet, and all have been great.  That Slovenian wine can be wonderful should really come as no surprise, given its geographic location bordering Italy's Friuli region -…

We have another new wine on the menu:  Chambourcin Reserve, Penns Woods Winery, Pennsylvania. 

Chambourcin is a hybrid grape of French origin that grows exceptionally well in PA.  It is grown in many parts of the state, including the…

We do not get many of these in the States, so try one when you can.  This one is produced by Louis Guntrum, whose estate is in the Rheinhessen, in the central West portion of the country.  This wine has pretty, ruby tones, floral aromas, and flavors of cherry and plum.…

Last night marked the latest installment of our Global Passport Tasting Series. As always, Bob Barrett led our group as we said ¡Hola! to Spanish Reds:  Tempranillo, Garnacha, Monastrell... Ole!

The grapes listed above are varietals native to Spain, but we also tasted…

No Commitment, Experimentation Welcomed

Does this sound like your kind of relationship?  Join us at Jet for Tasting Tuesdays!  No need to commit to a full glass - we'll let you buy just half!  Want to try out many before you take the plunge?  Pick any three wines to make your own flight for just $10. …

Today we are, again, traveling to Lyon for French Onion Soup and Gigondas.

We are enjoying this pairing VERY MUCH and will keep it through the month of January. So, have it today and come back next week for more!…

It is cold out now (this week, anyway) so lets have an all-red flight!  Its perfect with a cheese plate.

1. RED, Weingut Heinrich, Austria.  This blend of Blaufrankisch, Zweigelt, and St. Laurent grapes has flavors   of cherry, currants and coriander. 

2.Merlot, Barone Fini,…

Last night we had a tasting of "grower" champagnes led by certified expert of wine, Bob Barrett.  We wanted to know whether the smaller production grower champagnes tasted better than their larger production counterparts.  Or, "can you find a better toasting champagne for next year's NYE?"  To answer that, we first…

Rocky Week?  Don't slow down - ease the transition to the weekend with Turbulence, our weekly DJ event.

DJ Bill Gat will be spinning and Sarah will be on bar shaking and pouring.

Music starts at 9... and so does our Late Night Happy…
