BIPOC
Our goal is to showcase the incredible diversity of talent and products that remain underrepresented. We have curated incredible wines from some of the best of BIPOC winemakers in the industry.
Challenges
When we ventured into the wine industry five years ago, we identified a glaring gap of inequity and underrepresentation for BIPOC makers. Distribution and market penetration is a significant challenge for us.
Our Solution
We have made a commitment to our community to be intentional and deliberate about bringing BIPOC products to market. Through this platform, we have created a centralized, one-stop-shop that allows us to celebrate our collective diversity. We invite you to shop our selections and create lifetime memories with these top-quality products.
