I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it’s time to add some new bottles to your bar cart. Or wherever you stash your booze. As a part of the fight to increase equity among Black-owned businesses and brands, it’s important to be intentional about buying Black. A common obstacle that many Black owners of spirits and wines face however is having their products accessible in physical and online stores.

Valpolicella & Soave: The Times, They Are A Changin’
BY ERIC GUIDO | FEBRUARY 25, 2021
It’s amazing to consider how much the world has changed in such a short period of time. Suddenly we are all focused on the importance of other people and our relationships with them. Instead of firing off a text or email, we now pick up the phone to hear a human voice on the other side; and with each conversation, we all speak enthusiastically about the days we had face-to-face meetings, tastings, dinners or just a friendly conversation. This train of thought was emphasized during my recent tastings, as numerous wineries sent in samples and offered to taste together over Zoom. I truly believe it is one of many signs, once we can regain some sense of normalcy, that the world has changed for the better in some ways.
