Come explore the delicious, relatively unknown world of African American-made wines.  Among the 6,000 plus winemakers in the US today, only about 22 are black Americans.  Most of these wineries are small, family-owned enterprises that might fly under your radar, and that's too bad, because some have been winning awards and nods from the likes of Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate for a while now. Many of these wineries are so small they don't even have tasting rooms, but you can taste them at Wine …
