  • Wine & Hip Hop Terroir Tapes

    Friday, November 1st | 6 - 9PM
    Auditorium of Jefferson School African American Heritage Center

    Emmy-nominated host Jermaine Stone hits the Two-up Wine-down Festival in Charlottesville, Virginia, with Act II of The Wine and Hip Hop Terroir Tapes Listening Sessions!!

    The Terroir Tapes listening sessions are the kinds of wine tastings that hip-hop heads have craved for years. It’s an educational immersive tasting series that takes attendees on a dual exploration of the geography of the wine regions responsible for the wines we enjoy compared to the regions that are home to the rap music we fell in love with.
