​PROVENANCE: A Black Wine Tasting + Tutorial

​Discover the story behind the bottle.

​Join us for an intimate evening at Gladys Books & Wine dedicated to the craft, history, and excellence of Black winemakers. Whether you are a natural wine enthusiast or just starting your journey, Provenance is designed to deepen your palate and your understanding.

​Led by our Sommelier, Chaz Jones—a New Orleans native and industry veteran with over a decade of experience—this isn't your average tasting. It’s a hands-on tutorial where "informative" meets "fun." Chaz will guide you through the nuances of natural wine and share the rich narratives of the Black-owned vineyards featured on our curated menu.
