Meet Your Sommelier

AIS-certified expertise behind every tasting, every bottle, every glass.

Sommelier and owner Carolyn Papetti has spent her career curating wine programs, most recently the approachable yet exclusive list at I'm Eddie Cano. Trained in Rome, where she earned her sommelier certification through the Associazione Italiana Sommelier (AIS), she returned home inspired to bring the city's beloved enoteca tradition to life at the Italian Bar.

“Carolyn hosted an amazing wine tasting for our group. Each selection was delicious and off the beaten path. Our host was very knowledgeable and cultivated fun and informative conversation about the wine within our group. It made for a fun and tasty evening all around.”
