Legacy in the Glass: Black Joy, Wine, and the Communities We Build
Manage episode 478810425 series 2743987
In this episode, we uncork a different kind of wine story—one rooted in joy, land, and legacy. From a biodiverse vineyard in the Midwest to a Black-owned Prosecco brand in South Carolina, we meet the innovators reshaping the wine world on their own terms. You’ll hear from Krista Scruggs of ZAFA Wines, Justin Wages of Don Luchi Prosecco, sommelier LaShea Delaney, and Cecilia Cuff of Bronzeville Winery, as they share what it means to cultivate not just grapes, but community.
Together, they’re building ecosystems—on the land and in the industry—that defy tradition and reimagine who wine is for.
