Episode Details

Welcome back to another episode for Industry Night. If you are joining me on YouTube you can see I am in a new location this week. Taking a break from the Peter Chang Family Restaurants where I will be back next week in their brand new location Ni Hao. And have I mentioned yet that the month of May I’ll be recording at the Capital Jewish Museum? I am — they have a new exhibit on Deli Culture - I’ll have what she's having - and they are hosting Industry Night there for the month. AND THEN — I’ll be out at Barrel and Oak Winery in Delaplane for the month of June. I’m just a tad excited about all these amazing people and places who are hosting Industry Night including where I am now. So today we are at the Urban Grape in Shaw. The Urban Grape is one of the country’s most successful independently owned wine stores, recently opened in D.C and is America’s largest certified Black-owned beverage retailer, they thoughtfully curated wine, beer and spirits with an emphasis on representation for diverse makers, regions and varieties. I’ll be talking to old friend, Kat Dean AND THEN — I am so excited. Every year, for the last 5 years? I have had the pleasure of having the Napa Valley Vintners & Napa Valley Winemakers on my show. Such an amazing opportunity to talk to the makers, the farmers, the producers and get an insider look on the nature of the wine business, what is going into the bottle at this moment, what are the pressing issues that are affecting their businesses and what are they pouring into my glass right now?!
