Lecture and Q&A with Jermaine Stone and Eric Asimov Friday, April 26 11:30am – 12:45pm $42 Philbrook Member $50 Adult *Must be 21 years of age or older & have a valid, government-issued photo ID to attend. **Capacity is limited. Advance tickets required. Hear from The Wolf of Wine, Jermaine Stone, and legendary New York Times Wine Critic Eric Asimov in conversation. JERMAINE STONE: From rapping to packing boxes in the shipping department at Zachy’s, to the first ever black commercial wine auctioneer, right through to being heralded as one of Wine Enthusiast’s 40 under 40, Bronx native Jermaine Stone’s rise in the wine industry has been driven by one key mission; to challenge the narrative about and for black men in America. In founding Cru Luv Selections, an innovative creative agency based in NYC, Stone has found a space that can use marketing, brand partnerships, and content creation to connect wine and hip hop cultures to bring wine to an audience traditionally ignored. ERIC ASIMOV: Eric Asimov is the chief wine critic of The New York Times, a position he assumed in June 2004 after having covered wine with The Times’s tasting panel and in his Tastings column for the Dining section. He has been writing about wine since 1999!
