Uncorking Fatherhood

Why Black Men Need to Take Up Space in Wine.

In this episode, we unpack the power, pressure, and purpose behind Black men claiming space in an industry that wasn’t built with us in mind. From navigating elitism to rewriting the narrative of who belongs in wine, we dive into why visibility matters—on the label, in the tasting room, and at the table. Featuring personal stories, cultural reflections, and bold perspectives, this is a conversation about representation, legacy, and building something that lasts.

Uncorking Fatherhood

On this inaugural episode of VinoDads, our distinguished guests, John Chapman—City Councilman, Owner of Manumission Tours, and devoted father—and Matthew Boyd, the Chief Operating Officer of Boyd Cruz Wines and a proud father of two, engage in a captivating conversation. They delve into various facets of their fatherhood journey, discussing the values they aim to instill in their children, the legacy they aspire to leave behind, and strategies for challenging stereotypes surrounding black fathers. All this unfolds against the backdrop of savoring some of Boyd Cruz Wines' exceptional vintages, including the exquisite Living Legacy and Community. Join us for a rich blend of meaningful discussions and delightful wine tasting.
