    “Building Black Wine Culture: Fern Stroud of BLACK VINES on Legacy, Purpose, and the Future of Wine”

    In Napa Valley and beyond, wine is often seen through a very narrow lens. But there are voices, stories, and communities that are expanding what this industry looks like and who it’s for. In this episode of Meet Me in Napa, I sit down with Fern Stroud, CEO of Black Vines, to talk about her journey, her vision, and the movement she’s building to create space and opportunity for Black vintners and wine brands. This conversation goes far beyond wine. We get into wine culture, representation, and what it takes to build something meaningful in an industry that hasn’t always made room for everyone. Fern shares her personal story, the evolution of Black Vines, and the importance of creating platforms that highlight the makers behind the bottle. We also step into a deeper space, talking about purpose, faith, and the spiritual journey that shapes how we move through life and business.

    Napa Valley at a Crossroads: Small Wineries vs Regulation| Lindsay hoopes in her own words

    In Napa Valley, the world sees beauty, luxury, and world-class wine. But behind the scenes, there are real conversations happening about land, regulation, and who gets to continue building in this valley. In this episode of Meet Me in Napa, I sit down with Lindsay Hoopes, proprietor of Hoopes Family Vineyard, to talk about her journey from prosecutor to vineyard owner and the challenges she’s facing today with Napa County. This is not just a conversation about wine. This is about small businesses, policy, pressure, and the future of Napa Valley. We discuss what led to her current legal situation, what it feels like to navigate the system as an independent winery, and what’s at stake not just for her, but for the broader community. If you care about Napa, entrepreneurship, or understanding the layers behind the industry, this is a conversation worth hearing.
