DURHAM, NC – In a Southside industrial park, the flora of innovation has borne her sweet fruit. Though Durham has a rich tradition of African American enterprise, the city has not had a Black-owned winery within its bounds – until now. LaShonda Fort Modest will shatter the wineglass ceiling on Friday, October 22 by officially opening Melanated Wine & Spirits. We heard it through the grapevine, folks!
