A New Black Owned & Woman Owned Wine Store
The Urban Grape, one of the country’s most successful independently-owned wine stores, comes to DC.
We have a small wine cooler under the counter in the kitchen that we try to keep stocked. It is easy to grab a bottle of wine off a shelf to go with dinner on a weeknight, but when the weekend comes shopping and restocking the house is my happy place.
In larger stores it is not always easy to shop intentionally. There are not always signs, and sometimes store staff is unable to readily identify a brand I am trying to find. The Urban Grape is a Black owned and woman owned wine store based in Boston and they just opened their second location here in DC.
One of the country’s most successful independently-owned wine stores, is driven by a mission of building community through beverage. The Urban Grape’s DC location is in the Shaw neighborhood, a historically Black DC neighborhood. Shaw is home to Howard University and the historic Howard Theatre. The store stocks a wine for every palate, including many Black owned, woman owned, and LGBTQ+ owned varietals.
TJ and Hadley Douglas operate with a focus on hospitality and access at the forefront. Their commitment to hospitality is evident through the warm welcomes received as soon as you step inside The Urban Grape DC. I spoke with TJ and Hadley about the opening of their newest location, their internship program, and how they are making wine more accessible. Head over to Flights and Foods on YouTube or watch the interview below.
The Urban Grape sells a wide variety of wine; however, they also carry spirits, liqueurs, and non-alcoholic beverages. The Urban Grape DC is located at 1301 9th St NW, Washington, DC, USA. Follow @UrbanGrape for events and free tastings.

In the awesome scheme of things you’ll get an A+ with regard to hard work. Exactly where you confused us ended up being on all the facts. As as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And that couldn’t be much more correct at this point. Having said that, let me inform you just what exactly did give good results. The writing is certainly pretty engaging which is most likely the reason why I am making an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can easily see a jumps in logic you come up with, I am not necessarily confident of exactly how you seem to connect your details which make the final result. For the moment I will, no doubt yield to your point but trust in the future you actually link the dots much better.

naturally like your website but you need to test the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to inform the reality on the other hand I¦ll definitely come again again.

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. But think about if you added some great photos or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could certainly be one of the best in its niche. Awesome blog!

This blog is definitely rather handy since I’m at the moment creating an internet floral website – although I am only starting out therefore it’s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen
