I\u2019ve been following the story of Cheramie Law for quite a while now as I loved seeing the story of a black female winemaker from Texas unfold. I was fortunate to really get to know her better as we were were both participants in Texas\u2019 #ShareTheMicNowTx<\/a> campaign last summer. This former marine and Texas-bred lady has been one of the loudest voices when it comes to supporting the Texas wine industry. I was thrilled when she and partner, Todd Aho, created Salt and Pepper wine back in 2017 as a way to educate the public on Texas wine. The name of the couple\u2019s business was a fun nod to the fact that she is black and partner Todd Aho is white, but that together, they were quite a combo despite being different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When Cheramie realized that the perception by some outside of the state was not favorable for Texas wine, she made it her mission to spread the world that fine wine indeed was being made in Texas. What began as an educational campaign through social media and in-person tastings evolved into a full scale wine brokerage company. But educating folks on, and selling Texas wine wasn\u2019t the end game. In 2019, Cheramie created her wine brand, Cheramie Wine<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, with the tag line \u2018100% Texas Grown. 100% Texas Made.\u2019 She released her first wine – a Riesling – in 2020, and just literally released her first Montepulciano Ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been so excited to watch it all unfold and have bought bottles for myself as well as to share with others. Cheramie, I am here for it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the #WinePW crew said the were featuring BIPOC winemakers and winery owners for our February Twitter chat, I instantly knew I wanted to feature Cheramie\u2019s wines. And lucky me, I\u2019m able to share both wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
