Years of Participation

2025

Jordan Smelt leads the charge on Lucian’s extensive yet approachable wine list of over 450 bottles, organized by grape variety for easy perusal and discovery, and designed with an editorial eye that makes it reminiscent of a magazine. Originally from Tampa, Jordan has made Atlanta his home for over two decades, during which time he has honed his skills at some of the city’s finest establishments, including Cakes & Ale, Holeman & Finch, and Restaurant Eugene, and served as the original General Manager of wine distribution company Rive Gauche Wine Co. Outside of the restaurant, Jordan cherishes fine wines and time spent with his wife, Katie Barringer, and their three beloved pets.
