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.


The Experience

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.

Your Ticket Includes:

  • One Chef-Curated Brunch Entrée
  • Choice of: Chicken & Waffles, Avocado Toast, Catfish & Grits, or French Toast.
  • Guided Tasting Flight
  • Sip through three signature Phyllis Wines selections: our bold Red Blend, elegant Rosé, and celebrated Moscato.
  • The Story Behind the Brand
  • During the tasting, you’ll hear the journey of Phyllis Wines, explore flavor profiles, and gain pairing insights that elevate both your palate and your wine knowledge.
  • Social Hour + Bottle Sales
  • After the guided tasting, mix and mingle with a room of like-minded individuals and purchase your favorite bottles to take home.

What to Expect
  • A Beautifully Curated Atmosphere: Designed for sophisticated yet welcoming energy.
  • Engaging Wine Education: Learn the "how" and "why" behind a minority-owned label.
  • Intentional Community: A room filled with culture, connection, and a shared mission.

"We are sipping with purpose. Every pour is a tribute to our community, our culture, and the change we want to see in the industry."
