‎

The wine industry is known for its rich history and diverse range of flavors, but it is also an industry that has historically lacked diversity. According to recent data, there are only about 100 black-owned wineries out of over 9,000 wineries in the United States. This lack of representation has led to challenges for black […]

#Repost @winearomas with @make_repost ・・・ 📣 Are you familiar with John June Lewis, Sr.? He's recognized as the first Black American winemaker in the U.S. He fell in love with wine and viticulture while stationed in France during World War I. Shortly after prohibition ended, he inherited land in Clarksville, Virginia, and by 1933, he began to grow his first grapes on the land. In 1940, Lewis opened Woburn Winery and sold his wines to locals until he passed in 1974. The Woburn Winery is the first Black American-owned winery in the U.S. and is believed to have been the only Virginia winery to produce wine solely from its own grapes at the time. 🍇 . He produced Labrusca and hybrid wines known as the "Virginia-Carolina Brand". Lewis' products were listed as table and dessert wines in the Wines & Vines Annual Directory, Issue 1960. Wine writer Leon Adams attested that Lewis' wines were "sound" and carefully used yeast cultures from California. . 📸 sovahomefront.org Source: ingoodtaste.com . . . #winelovers #blackhistory #blackwinemakers #winehistory #themoreyouknow #wineknowledge #winewithme #wineworld #americanhistory #wineaddict #wineenthusiast #winefan #sommelier #winelove https://www.instagram.com/p/CaV8FiptDaE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day #12 of #BlacksInWine we acknowledge Steve Byfield @TerroirLover Nyarai Cellars winemaker, Steve Byfield, is one of a small but emerging collection of highly motivated, vintner directed, brands in Niagara. Born and raised in Kitchener, Ontario, Steve was introduced to the culture of wine during his university studies as an amateur winemaker. More than four years after releasing his first wine, Steve Byfield was finally able to watch someone carry one of his bottles to the cash register at a winery. Without a winery or tasting room to call his own, the winemaker responsible for Nyarai Cellars has survived by selling his wines to restaurants, online and via the LCBO. He gained another sales channel in June, when DiProfio Wines in Jordan celebrated its grand opening. Byfield's choice of words is telling. Nyarai took its name from a South African word meaning 'be humble' or 'humility.' It's an apt expression for the mild-mannered winemaker who has quietly and determinedly made the wines that he wants to make in Niagara. #BlackExcellence #BlackWinemakers https://www.instagram.com/p/Btx--JTBwvv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4s91ixa2zi2n
