PJ's Wine Trip

Streaming Reality Series

Much in the vein of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations and Parts Unknown, as well as Stanley Tucci’s gorgeous exploration of Italian cooking, Searching for Italy, PJ's Wine Trip will be documentary in nature. It will be shot in the same entrancing cinematic style as Chef’s Table. Our host, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma winemaker Paula J. Harrell (aka PJ), will take us across the globe from Napa to South Africa to discover winemaking through the African Diaspora.

Each episode takes us to a black-owned vineyard, wine store, custom crushing facility, restaurant, or venue where wines made by black vintners are sold. Our featured guests will share their stories about their wines, traditions, and practices.

​

PJ’s Wine Trip is rooted in authenticity, exploration, Black history, and a passion for wine. We will introduce our viewers to engaging, entertaining, unexpected places to meet fascinating and charming local winemakers. We’ll explore unknown pockets of culture and as each story unfolds, we’ll learn what drives our winemakers’ creativity and applied science, leaving us with a new perspective.

​

Each episode will be an adventure, as our guests invite us to learn the how and why behind their endeavors and how they’ve forged new ground in an industry that has been closed off or inaccessible to people of color in the past.
