The wine industry is a bright spot of climate leadership. Winegrowers are showing how to work with instead of against nature to produce great wines.

Is water the solution to heat stress?
As extreme heat events become more frequent and intense, the wine industry faces a critical dilemma in water management. At RISE Climate & Wine Symposium, we will explore the rising use of water to buffer heat stress and prevent crop loss.

Join us May 6th for a keynote address from Jermaine Stone, CEO of Cru Luv Wines and Author of "Wine Barz Vol. 1"
Twenty years ago, Jermaine Stone went from rapping to packing boxes in the shipping department at Zachy’s to becoming the first black commercial wine auctioneer. He has since been heralded as one of Wine Enthusiast’s 40 under 40. The Bronx native’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 and bring wine to an audience that has traditionally been ignored. In 2023, Stone was featured in the New York Times, on Sway in the Morning, and in Us Weekly. He also became the star of the Tastemade original streaming series Street Somm, which has been nominated for both a James Beard Award and an Emmy Award.
