Kaitlin "Jett" Kolarik is a wine professional and photographer in Atlanta, GA. They come to the wine industry from a background in media production and photography, but we talk about how they fell in love with the wine world over the past few years now having experience working in restaurants, wine bars, and currently, one of the friendly faces you’ll see working in wine retail at 3 Parks Wine Shop in Glenwood Park here in Atlanta. Kaitlin is passionate about sustainability and inclusivity in the wine world and loves learning about the people and the producers behind wines, especially in the category of minimal intervention wines. They also relatively recently had the opportunity to attend Pinot Camp in Oregon, so we talk about how that unique experience – and first official visit to a winery! - has further fueled their personal pursuit of wine education and exploration. You can follow @picklesanddishsoap for wine insights on social media, and you can keep an eye on www.kaitlinkolarik.com for their wine and photography projects in the future.
