Jordan Lynn Traylor
Jordan's world changed when she studied Culinary Arts in Sorrento, Italy. With her astute palate and as a classically trained chef, she has wandered the world, sipping and sampling epicurean delights and wine wherever she goes. When she's home in Atlanta, she brings the sights, sounds, flavors and smells from these places to life as a natural educator. There’s not much that a bellissimo vino and a wonderful meal can’t cure in life.

Meet Jordan
Wine is a time capsule, a story in a bottle. I love to rescue the story and share it with the world.
What’s the bottle that got you into wine?
While living in Italy for culinary school, I discovered the Sicilian 2008 Cusumano Nero d’Avola. My new friends ordered us a bottle and my life has literally never been the same. This dark, brooding, seductive wine changed my palate forever.
What’s your favorite wine glass and why?
Riedel Performance Pinot Noir glasses are essential. I attended a Proper Glassware event by owner Maximilian Riedel and learned so much. They’re not only stunning, they're built for the optimal aerodynamics for drinking wine. I’ll never drink wine the same way again.
My Sessions
"The most romantic of wines, with so voluptuous a perfume, so sweet an edge, and so powerful a punch that, like falling in love, they make the blood run hot and the soul wax embarrassingly poetic."
