Discovering the Flavors of Black-Owned Wines
MianU Wines: A Legacy Born from Love
Regina King's MianU Wines is a brand born out of love and loss. Created in honor of her late son, this wine company offers a limited-edition Syrah with notes of blackberry, blueberry compote, cinnamon, star anise, dried lavender, and graphite. If you missed the 2024 debut vintage, don't worry – MianU has opened a waiting list for their next release.
Lucky Girl Rose: A Sparkling Vibe in Every Glass
Lucky Girl's 2025 sparkling wine is a game-changer. With its smooth, elegant finish and stone fruit flavors, this wine pairs perfectly with oysters, prawns, or even French fries. The acidity hits just right, lifting the fruit flavors to create a bone-dry finish that will leave you wanting more.
Sun Goddess: A Love Letter to Pinot Grigio
Mary J. Blige's Sun Goddess is a collaboration with the Fantinel winemaking family from northern Italy. This Ramato variety boasts a gorgeous copper-pink color, thanks to the red grapes chilling with their skins before bottling. It's a love letter to Pinot Grigio and a testament to the beauty of Black-owned wine.
These five must-have wines from Black-owned brands are not just delicious – they're also a celebration of culture, history, and community. Whether you're a seasoned oenophile or just starting your wine journey, these wines are sure to impress. So next time you step into the wine section, remember to check out the Black-owned labels too.
