Okay, I know "wine season" is technically year-round, but I'm here to say that we are officially in "wine szn"!! Yes, there is a difference (read: summer), and I won't be explaining myself further.
Anyways, it's obviously time to pop open a bottle of sparkling rosé and fill up your camera roll with pics from a low-key buzzed pool photoshoot. And as much as we l-o-v-e a poolside boxed wine that feeds a family of five, maybe it's time to try something a lil bougier this year. (I mean, we must make up for last year, right?! Right?!)
Might I be so bold as to suggest a pick from one of these A+ Black-owned wine brands? Every bottle on this list is super refreshing and pairs well with the smell of sunscreen and pool floats. Not to mention, some of these bottles came from big celeb names, huge! *gasps forever*
Allow me to help you ring in the Season of Sippin'™ (yes, I fully created this phrase—you're welcome) with some of the best Black-owned wine brands out there to bring to your next BYOB.
