Our Mission: The Black Winer strives to expose African Americans [and others] to wines,
without the flair, stuffiness, and airs of elitism and snobbery that you get from sommeliers and high level wine
enthusiasts. We believe in finding something that you like the taste of, outside of the basic brands that you have
been force-fed over the years through a combination of ethnically targeted advertising, and what people in your
family have historically been drinking.
We welcome your comments and suggestions. Please click here to send us an e-mail.
