Author: Wine and Hip Hop April 17, 2025 Duration: 46:29

​In this episode, Jermaine Stone (@realwolfofwine) sits down with the legendary Jancis Robinson (@jancis.robinson), a true titan in the world of wine.

With over 40 years of experience, Jancis shares her journey through the wine industry and reflects on the challenges and triumphs she's encountered. From her first taste of the iconic 1947 Château Cheval Blanc to her experiences selecting wines for the royal household, Jancis provides knowledge that blends seamlessly with Jermaine's unique perspective on hip-hop culture.​

As they dive into the intersections of wine and music, listeners will enjoy a rich discussion that compares the complexities of Bordeaux wines to the lyrical depth of New York hip-hop, as well as the soulful sounds of Houston's music scene paired with the elegance of sherry.

This episode not only highlights the artistry found in both wine and hip-hop but also emphasizes the importance of authenticity and storytelling in both fields.​

This Episode is :

  • An exploration of Jancis Robinson's influential career in the wine industry

  • A comparison of wine regions and hip-hop styles, revealing their unique characteristics

  • Insights into the evolving landscape of wine and the importance of community in navigating challenges

  • Jancis' thoughts on the future of wine and the excitement of new regions emerging globally​

This is a masterclass in the art of wine and hip-hop. Join us for an engaging conversation that celebrates the beauty of both worlds.



In each episode of Wine And Hip Hop, host Jermaine Stone-an Emmy and James Beard Award-nominated personality-curates a unique conversation that lives at the intersection of culture and taste. This podcast brings together hip-hop artists and wine professionals for a dialogue that is as fluid and surprising as a great freestyle. The format is elegantly simple yet rich with discovery: a guest brings a meaningful song or a chosen bottle of wine to the table, and Jermaine selects the perfect counterpart. What unfolds is an organic, informative, and deeply entertaining discussion about the connections between a beat and a Bordeaux, a lyric and a vintage. The conversation explores personal stories, the craftsmanship behind both art forms, and the sensory experiences they evoke. It’s not about rigid rules or pretentious pairings, but about the shared passion and creativity that fuel hip-hop and winemaking. Listeners are invited into a space where expertise meets personal narrative, revealing how a track can change the taste of a wine and how a wine can deepen the feeling of a song. This is a podcast for the curious, for those who appreciate the layers in a complex blend or a masterful verse, and for anyone who believes the best moments are often accompanied by the right sound and the right glass.
