Wine and Hip Hop Presents Terroir Tapes - NYC

Join us for an extraordinary evening where wine, hip-hop, and time-pieces unite to celebrate the soul of New York City. Hosted by Jermaine Stone—renowned writer, sommelier, and star of the Emmy-nominated series Street Somm—alongside the creative forces of Bulova and Complecto, as we explore the DNA of NYC.

WHAT IS TERROIR (ter-wahr)?

The unique blend of soil, climate, and culture that shape the distinct flavors of wine and the resonant sound of hip-hop. Through a curated tasting of wines from three prestigious regions around the globe, paired with the iconic boroughs of NYC, we will explore how the city’s grit, creativity, and diversity have left their mark on both. Each wine will be thoughtfully matched with a hip-hop region, drawing connections between the beats, slang, and stories at the heart of NYC’s dynamic music scene.
