“Tradition isn’t born. It’s mastered.”  – Phil Long, Winemaker Longevity Wines
The transfer of wine making or ownership of vineyards from generation to generation is a story too few African Americans can tell. Many became winemakers or vineyard owners because they developed a passion and the Artisan call to create amazing wines was so great, they left their careers to live out this passion.
These African American Winemakers have acquired complete knowledge in wine making. They will also tell you mastery goes hand in hand with continual learning.
Urban Connoisseurs founder, Marcia Jones has written the first ever documentary highlighting the lives of these African American winemakers. This documentary, “Journey between the Vines: The Black Winemakers’ Story”, will follow the lives of these extraordinary men and women who have followed a passion some of us have only dreamed of! Click on an image to the left or below to learn more about each winemaker and the creator of the documentary.

Longevity Wines' owner, Phil Long hosted a wine blending session with several Black Winemakers. We invited some of the winemakers from  the documentary, JBV: The Black Winemakers' Story, to come together and create an exclusive wine blend! These winemakers brought their award winning wine experience together and created the ultimate wine blend. Most of them have received 90+ points for their own wines. 
Proceeds will benefit the production of the documentary and funding for the John June Lewis, Sr. Scholarship fund.
