Curated Cuisine is a monthly series examining all things edible, from the chefs cooking the food to the writers reviewing the recipes. Meet the people shaping the food industry, both local and national and enjoy a post-show bite inspired by the conversation.
Irene Li, co-founder of Mei Mei and Prepshift, moderates a conversation with husband and wife team TJ and Hadley Douglas, founders of The Urban Grape in Boston’s South End. They'll discuss the Douglas' journey in the wine business, their philosophy toward organizing wine (by body rather than varietal or region) and their commitment to increasing access to and careers in the wine and beverage industry for Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC).
Copies of the Douglas’ book “Drink Progressively, A Bold New Way to Pair Wine and Food” will be available to purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith. In-person attendees will enjoy complimentary wine and cheese and the Douglases will sign books after the coversation.
This event is co-produced by Boston University Metropolitan College Programs in Food & Wine.
