Jahdé Marley

Jahdé is a New York-based wine and spirits professional and the portfolio manager for Zev Rovine Selections. She has deep Caribbean roots, and specializes in sustainability, community building, and decolonial narratives within the beverage space. For Jahdé, wine was a choice, but rum was a calling. Deeply inspired by the visionary worlds of Octavia Butler, the soulful resilience of Billie Holiday, and the radical promise of global liberation movements, she weaves ancestral farming traditions and cultural heritage into the modern glass. From the rustic charm of indigenous muscadines to the fiery complexity of scotch bonnet peppers, Jahdé approaches the beverage world not just as a curator, but as a storyteller dedicated to honoring the earth and elevating the community.
