Wine and Hip Hop Joins Oakland’s Black Food and Wine Experience with the Terroir Tapes Listening Sessions !! Terroir is the French term for the combination of the growing conditions around the grapes that produce your wines. Everything from the type of soil, to climate, to local culture all effects the way wine tastes.The Terroir Tapes listening sessions are the kinds of wine tastings that hip-hop heads have craved for years. It’s an educational immersive tasting series that takes attendees on a dual exploration of the geography of the wine regions responsible for the wines we enjoy compared to the regions which are home to the rap music we fell in love with. Host Jermaine Stone, driven by a genuine passion for both, dissects the connection between the environment of both, wine and hip hop.
Pouring 6 bottles Jermaine delves into the distinct characteristics of a hip-hop region, dissecting the tempo, metaphors, slang and more that identify its unique cultural identity, connecting the dots between the hip-hop region and its cultural influences, from dance styles to the production it inspires.
Simultaneously, the tasting takes a sensory journey through delicious wine to unravel the terroir of different wine regions. Guests are taken on an authentic exploration, comparing the environmental elements shaping wine and hip-hop.
We highly suggested for guests to take rideshare safety.
