It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of our dearest friend and colleague, Peter Cervi, who succumbed to heart failure on Monday, March 10th.  Peter was a great lover of life, a passionate volunteer and a warm and genuine friend to many.  He thrived on his work with us and truly enjoyed engaging with our customers.  He often said he would work here for free if we couldn't keep him on.  Peter will be remembered as a great lover of humanity who had time and interest for all.  Our loss is beyond words.  

McBRIDE SISTERS

Monterey, California

​

​

This is the largest African American owned winery in the US.  The sisters only met one another as young women.  Half sisters, one was raised in California and the other in New Zealand, and they only connected after their father died and family members in New Zealand learned of a sister and undertook a search for her. After meeting, they discovered a shared passion for wine and embarked upon their new venture as  partners, forming McBride Sisters Collection and Black Girl Magic Wines.

They are zealous about sustainable farming techniques and have pursued eco-friendly practices not only in the wines they make but in all facets of their company. They are inspired by the endless pursuit of all women who are making their dreams a reality and breaking barriers daily. The Black Girl Magic collection, only available in California and online right now, is their  personal ode to their culture and story.  It is inspired by the magic and resilience of Black women, to be enjoyed by all.
