Uncorked is only two weeks away! Join us Saturday, September 12 from 4–7pm!

This vintner spotlight is extra special because not only is this vintner a fabulous w**e maker, she is also the Executive Director of Child Care Law Center!
Maisha developed her w**e label, Phase 4 Wines as a personal tribute to herself. Maisha, a dedicated mother, and passionate attorney and educator, found herself questioning her purpose. Phase 4 represents the fourth phase of her life - one of discovery, self love and awareness. With varietals that pay homage to her children, Amir and Aaliya, Phase 4 tells the story of transformation, resilience, and every chapter that shaped her.

With every bottle, Maisha raises a toast to the woman she was, the one she is, and the one she’s still becoming. We hope you’ll raise a glass of Phase 4 Wines with us in celebration on September 12th!

This week’s vintner spotlight is **es !
Wachira Wines is a black-owned, woman-owned w**ery in Alameda County. It is the culmination of the extraordinary vision and effort of Dr. Chris Wachira, the first Kenyan-born Californian w**emaker, distributor, importer, and exporter.
Dr. Wachira has created an international w**e that celebrates Kenyan culture, values, and her dual Kenyan-American heritage.

Wachira’s vision is to create a space where everyone belongs, no matter their background or status. They believe in crafting w**e experiences that are open to all, rooted in inclusivity, community, and shared memories. “We envisioned our w**es being shared by a group of friends on warm summery afternoons, over fond memories and deep-bellied laughs.”

We look forward to sharing a glass and joyously creating memories and laughs with you all in a couple of weeks!
