I think Joe makes a very interesting point about the lack of African Americans in the wine business. I'm in agreement that the industry will be better off when African Americans realize that making good wine is not just for Whites. However, Blacks must educate themselves about the wine industry in order to appreciate it's simple sophistication. The wine industry has a perception of being expensive and difficult which make it unattractive to African Americans. I agree that the new generation of wine drinkers will be diversity thinkers which could possibly open up doors for African American winemakers. Blacks interested in the wine business may be able to relate better to this new generation of wine drinkers.
