The first hip hop event ever held at the historic Château du Clos de Vougeot Wine & Hip Hop at Château du Clos de Vougeot What do wine and hip hop have to do with one another? When I saw the event posted, I knew I wanted to find out for myself. Hip hop was in it’s infancy way back when I was in college, and I never really jumped on the bandwagon. Prior to the event, I started exploring Jermaine Stone’s Wine and Hip Hop podcast. I wanted to get this story out to a wider audience, and The Vintner Project expressed interest in publishing the article, here it is! Click here to open “Wine, Bea ..read more
