About this Event
The Black Sip x Phyllis Wines: The Spring Wine Brunch
An Elevated Cultural Experience with Purpose
Why It Matters: Beyond the Glass
Despite the massive growth of the global wine industry, women and minorities own less than 1% of U.S. wineries. At The Black Sip, we believe this narrative must change. Our mission is to bridge the gap between premium Black-owned brands and the community that appreciates them. By hosting this brunch, we aim to amplify the stories of the 1% and foster economic empowerment through exposure, education, and collective support.
When you join us, you aren't just attending a brunch—you are becoming part of a movement to diversify the vine.
