Wine & Hip Hop strips the stuffiness out of wine: host and "Street Somm" Jermaine Stone pairs global wines with the kind of food you grew up on. This edition lifts standout dishes from the Tasting Notes video series, cooked by Chef Raquan, and sets them out as stations you dance between rather than a seated tasting. If you want a party that happens to teach you something about wine, go.
What to expect
Pairing stations spread through the venue, each with its own dish and wine, with music keeping the room moving. Unlimited pours are part of the format, so expect a lively crowd.
