About Jim Tortorelli
Jim Tortorelli is a shining example of what hard work and dedication can accomplish. Since his retirement, he has taken on the challenge of launching Tap It Growlers – a delicious local beer and wine business. Gainesville residents have been flocking to his store since it opened in 2016 and have seen it become an integral part of their hometown community. Not only has Jim made customers happy with his carefully hand-crafted beverages, but he’s actively involved in many organizations around Gainesville, showing his commitment to making the city a better place. With Jim’s dedication and enthusiasm, it’s no wonder why Tap It Growlers is a favorite destination for both locals and tourists alike.
Jim and Roland Stanley have been friends for years, and now they’ve put their friendship to work by opening Cork It Gainesville. This small business has been a long time coming for the duo – Jim already had professional catering experience, and Roland was passionate about selling wines from his private collection. Together, they provide one of the best wine-tasting experiences in town and some delightful Mediterranean-style cuisine options. Enthusiastic customers have already begun praising the quaint atmosphere and delicious food at Cork It Gainesville. If you’re looking for good company and even better wine, look no further than this remarkable new establishment!
Jim has taken his passion for wine to the next level with a wealth of global experience in the industry. From traversing Italy’s celebrated Tuscan vineyards to savoring some top-notch offerings from the African and Australian regions, his travels have resulted in quite an impressive repertoire of knowledge. With years of experience, Jim is delighted to bring what he learned abroad back home. He looks forward to utilizing his many talents – and showcasing some beloved wines along the way – at both Cork It locations. There is no doubt that this will be an exciting venture for everyone involved, as customers and staff will both gain from the experience of immersing themselves in Jim’s storied journey around the world.
