Table Wine highlights Black winemakers

Table Wine highlights Black winemakers The number of BIPOC wineries distributing in Wisconsin is slowly increasing Table Wine s BIPOC producer special (left); André Hueston Mack of Maison Noir (right). The scarcity of women in winemaking and the wine industry has long been on Molly Moran’s mind. “The industry is often white men with money,” says Moran, who owns Table Wine, the wine shop and tasting room on Atwood Avenue.  After an in-store event (several years ago, pre-COVID) hosted by Sabrina Madison, founder of The Progress Center for Black Women, Moran started thinking about the overall lack of diversity in the business. Since then, she’s also been seeking out wines from Black winemakers and Black-owned wineries to stock at Table Wine. 

Ruby Clay hopes to expand her mentoring group to bring young, Black women together

Ruby Clay hopes to expand her mentoring group to bring young, Black women together Ruby Clay tries to be the resource she needed when she was young. December 30, 2020 8:00 AM Maggie Ginsberg Ruby Clay tries to be the resource she needed when she was young: that voice whispering in a Black girl’s ear that she is enough, that she is valued, that she is destined for great things. Before the pandemic, when Clay would gather middle and high school girls in a circle for Saturday afternoon meetings, she’d share her tough experiences so they could learn from someone who looked like them   a rarity in Dane County schools. These kids were dealing with adult issues, and she’d been there. She offered practical advice, like don’t go thinking a significant other’s behavior is romantic when they show up uninvited at your job. But mostly she would listen, and encourage her girls to do the same. They would need each other to survive.

Eugene Ballet director Toni Pimble on canceling The Nutcracker

Eugene Ballet announced on Dec. 4 that it decided to cancel all in-person performances of “The Nutcracker” for the first time in the company’s history. The announcement followed weeks of effort to present “The Nutcracker” to audiences as it has for the last 40 years. “We have a very loyal audience here in Eugene, and I know it’s as disappointing to them as it is for us that we’re not out there,” Eugene Ballet director Toni Pimble said. Prior to Governor Kate Brown’s two-week freeze in mid-November, Pimble and the artistic staff were in the midst of applying changes to the traditional structure of the ballet in order to be able to safely perform come December. This process included arranging company dancers into pods that could rehearse and perform together. The runtime was reduced to 70 minutes without an intermission. It also meant removing the young student dancers who are typically a defining feature of “The Nutcracker”
