I was in the process of sending feedback to the marketing team of a wine association I recently travelled to/with. My experience on this trip triggered more expansive thoughts on how we interact with the world around us. I was upset for most of this trip. I thought I would post about the article I wrote for @quenchmagazine An article focused on language in wine, problems with institutions of learning in wine and the need for a more dynamic communication in wine and, frankly everything! Check it out on news stands near you. Or DM @quenchmagazine for details. I also took moment to reflect on the 2 other trips in the last 4 months. I am always the only black person. On any of my trips! Well on two of the trips I was 1 of 4 in an event of either 200 participants to a few thousand. It’s not just about lack of colour. It’s the lack of diverse conversation around taste, observation and learning in this world It is truly fucked up sometimes! Think before you speak.
