Every February, the world pauses to honor Black stories, Black innovation, and Black excellence across every industry. And while wine isn’t always the first category people think of during Black History Month, it should be. The wine world has long lacked diversity, representation, and space for Black voices. Yet here we are, raising our glasses anyway and rewriting the story one bottle at a time.
Love Cork Screw was created from that spirit. What started as Chrishon Lampley’s bold leap into entrepreneurship has grown into a nationally distributed wine brand built on purpose, personality, and the belief that wine should feel welcoming, not intimidating. As one of the few Black women leading a wine label at this scale, Chrishon continues to push boundaries and create new ones for others to walk through.
And this month, we’re sipping with intention.
Celebrating Black-Owned Excellence in the Wine World
When people search for Black-owned wine brands or Black winemakers, they’re not just looking for a bottle. They’re looking for connection. They want stories rooted in culture, legacy, and craft. They want brands that reflect their communities and feel approachable, fun, and real.
That’s exactly why Love Cork Screw resonates. Our wines meet people where they are, with labels and language that feel familiar and flavors that make wine enjoyable for everyone, from casual sippers to full-on connoisseurs.
Supporting Black wine brands isn’t a trend. It’s a meaningful investment in equity, opportunity, and representation within a historically exclusive industry.
And we’ll cheers to that.
The Lampley: A Reserve Line Rooted in Legacy
Black History Month is all about honoring the shoulders we stand on. For Chrishon, that story lives within The Lampley, our Reserve collection crafted in honor of her late father.
This line isn’t just premium wine. It’s purpose in a bottle.
A portion of proceeds from The Lampley collection supports research and treatment for encephalopathy and thyroid disease, the very conditions that impacted Chrishon’s father. This Reserve collection brings together exceptional craftsmanship and a deeper mission, making every sip a reminder that wine can hold meaning beyond the glass.
Whether you’re discovering The Lampley for the first time or adding a new vintage to your collection, this is wine with intention.
It’s wine with heart.
