SAVE THE DATES FOR THE 25TH ANNUAL FESTIVAL - MAY 17 - 21, 2023

Jack Zindler

Jack Zindler dove into the food and beverage industry at a young age, beginning with an impressive first position at Boston’s iconic French restaurant, L’Espalier, when he was just 19 years old. It was here, under the mentorship of Lauren Daddona, that his interest and love of beverage and wine was initially sparked, and after two years, he became a captain. This interest grew into a passion, and he moved on to Barbara Lynch’s renowned French-Italian restaurant, Menton. At this Relais & Châteaux restaurant, he took over the bar program and continued growing his knowledge working with Wine Director, Cat Silirie. In 2018, Jack joined the husband and wife team, Danielle Ayer and Conor Dennehy to open Talulla; their intimate, family owned restaurant in Cambridge.

Jack took a career turn and is now engaged in executive recruitment and talent placement for KForce Inc, and we are excited to have him as part of the NWF Sommelier Team again for the 25th Anniversary Island fete!
