The Black Sip Presents : A Phyllis Wines Spring Wine Brunch

An Elevated Cultural Experience with Purpose

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.

On Saturday, March 7, 2026, join The Black Sip at Empire Kitchen & Cocktails as we feature Phyllis Wines—a proudly Black-owned brand redefining the wine experience. This is an intentional gathering for professionals, tastemakers, and wine lovers who believe that excellence and equity belong at the same table.
