Academy of Wine: Celebrating Black Voices in Wine

Join Wine Director Michael Wells for this very special annual edition of our Academy of Wine series: Celebrating Black Voices in Wine. This year, we are honored to welcome back Christopher Renfro of The Two Eighty Project, along with a featured lineup of Black-owned wineries. 

The Two Eighty Project is an outstanding local nonprofit organization dedicated to "building a sustainable food and wine community that nourishes every member of the local economy and ecosystem," as well as working to diversify the wine industry and provide educational and financial opportunities for tomorrow's wine makers.
