On this week's episode we sat down with Terrence Low (@diplowmatic) and Brandon Crump (@brandonlcrump) of Michael Lavelle Wines (@sipmichaellavelle). Hailing from Chi-town Terrence and Brandon dove immediately into the DC night scene when meeting at Howard University. What started off as a curiosity in wine ultimately led to an intense focus on Terrence wanting to create his own premium wine brand. It was a no-brainer to bring his friend Brandon into his mix given his hospitality and operations background. The need to be 100% themselves and their love of liquor and spirits would set them on a path that many people who look like them don't always find. Launched in 2020, Michael Lavelle Wines is a black-owned premium wine label (one of the few in this space). Today, the guys alongside their two other business partners, Aaron and Devin, are proud to own a brand fused with art, education, and most importantly, unmatched wine experiences.
