Recap: First African-American Sisters to Own Wine Company Launch in DC
Written by DC Fab



Last week, Andrea and Robin McBride, who are the first African-American sisters to own their own wine company, launched Truvee Wines at The Manor (1327 Connecticut Avenue NW) in the Nation’s Capitol.

The sisters have an interesting to story to say the least. In fact, the two didn’t even know each other until 1999 when Andrea was 16 and Robin was 25. The two, who share the same father, lived on opposite ends of the world, with the former in New Zealand and the latter in Monterey, California. It was their father’s dying wish for the two to meet. Still, they both grew up around vineyards and decided to start a wine company to firm their bond. They named the company “Truvée,” a twist for the French word, trouver, which means “to find.”

At the industry-only event, the sisters treated guests to their wines, either the Red Blend or Central Coast Chardonnay, along with passed bites. The wines were also made available in mixed drinks such as wine spritzers and sangria.

After the sisters explained their wines, guests were treated to a journal to take home with them as a party favor.

I thought biracial people weren't Black?

Anyway, good luck to them. There have been Black vintners before though.

My aunt has her own wine brand and wine store.

Salute to these young, black entrepreneurs though.

Running your own business, particularly conceptualizing and then producing your own product is not an easy task.

They're not African American

It seems as though biracial females are accepted as Blacks more than biracial men. Check the comments in the thread about Trevor Noah, the biracial guy that is taking over the Daily Show. People were saying he wasn't Black.

We ALL know why that is.

We ALL know why that is.

Why is that? What is the why?

I promise they both on that

The same reason you call a 100% African woman crispy, but lust after one with more than 50% white DNA.

I hope they keep it black

Pretty much my thoughts. I`m not hating, and wish them best of luck, but we need some damn innovation, things that can actually put people to work, not more booze to keep us on our asses. At the end of the day though I can't be upset as you can't force anyone to do what you think would be best, which is why those who do have innovation in mind must act and produce results which will spark the light bulb for others.

Yeah...this is my main criticism.

Its just more vanity, party and bullshyt.

Its nothing really truly "owned" I bet if I dig deeper.
