Episode 111: Deeply Rooted III Featuring Andre Mack

Author: Wine and Hip Hop April 30, 2026 Duration: 1:08:02

In this live episode of the Wine & Hip Hop Podcast, Jermaine Stone sits down with Andre Mack at the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa for a conversation that goes far beyond wine.

Andre Mack is one of the most influential voices in modern wine, a former Per Se beverage director who went on to build a multi-million dollar wine brand and redefine what it means to be a sommelier. But this conversation isn’t the usual story.

Because of their longstanding relationship, Jermaine and Andre discuss topics that aren’t often discussed publicly, from the real mindset behind his success to the decisions that shaped his path outside the traditional wine world.

They talk about:
• Going from zero wine knowledge to the top of fine dining in under two years
• Walking away from the expected path to build something independent
• Using hip hop, culture, and storytelling to connect with new audiences
• What it actually takes to communicate wine in a way people understand
• The current state of the wine industry and where it’s headed next
• Why live experiences are becoming the future of wine
• A major reveal about what Andre is building next

Recorded live in Tulsa, a city that has become a second home for Jermaine, this episode blends real conversation, industry insight, and cultural perspective in a way that only Wine & Hip Hop can.

This isn’t just about wine. It’s about building your own lane.


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.
