Jeff Jeswald was a Wine Specialist at Flatiron, where he developed a particular passion for Italian wines. His writing transported readers to the vineyards he loved—from the terraced cliffs of Cinque Terre, where Terenzuola's vines drop sharply into the Mediterranean, to the rolling hills of Tuscany and the celebrated estates of Chianti Classico. He had a gift for connecting the romance of a place to what ended up in the glass.
At Flatiron, Jeff combined his palate with an operations background, contributing to sales, inventory management, and the curation of the shop's Italian selections. His articles highlighted producers who took no shortcuts—organic farming, traditional methods, wines with a sense of history and terroir. Whether writing about Fontodi or Isole e Olena, he made the case for why these wines mattered.
Jeff now works as a Fine Wine Specialist at Polaner Selections, one of the country's most respected importers of estate-grown wines. It's a fitting next chapter for someone who spent his Flatiron years championing exactly the kind of artisanal producers Polaner represents.
