Society Wine Bar Founder and CEO Jayme Kosar was recently featured in leading wine industry national magazine, The Tasting Panel. The article, entitled “An Instant Classic,” spotlighted our flagship Ybor City location and our use of the Vinturi Aerator to maximize the customer’s tasting experience. The magazine is the most widely circulated trade publication in the beverage industry, reaching an audience of thousands of key decision-makers around the world.


From the article: Kosar is, in essence, bringing viniculture to a town that’s full of life to begin with. Swing-dancing clubs, replete with members in costume, meet at stunning locales like the incomparable Don Vicente de Ybor Historic Inn. Foodie groups prowl Ybor City for unbeatable cuisine such as the addictive Cuban sandwich from La Segunda. And there are enophiles to spare—many of whom ill drive clear across town to paddle around in Kosar’s vast unique collection of wines.

“We do carry some of the bigger guys, but we really have what you can’t find elsewhere,” says the stunning blonde, known for her sense of fashion as much as she is her wine hotspot.

“People come here to discover wine, and that’s what we’re here to do: to educate and share experiences.”
