Episode 105 : Alcohol Warnings, Wine Culture & Hip-Hop: 1994 JL Chave Hermitage x Rome Streetz Kiss The Ring
Description
In our season premiere of the Wine & Hip Hop Podcast, Jermaine gets straight to the point—breaking down the U.S. Surgeon General’s latest warnings about alcohol consumption and weighing whether this is a genuine public health concern or a targeted attack on the industry. Are we dealing with real science or another wave of fear-based messaging? Jermaine unpacks the history of alcohol advisories, the inconsistencies in the data, and what this means for wine lovers, small producers, and the broader wine and spirits industry.
As always, the conversation is paired with the perfect bottle—1994 JL Chave Hermitage—because, just like Rome Streetz’s Kiss The Ring, this pairing is built on depth, structure, and legacy. JL Chave is considered the king of Hermitage, while Rome Streetz’s intricate bars and Griselda pedigree make this album a must-listen for serious hip-hop heads.
This one is for real wine and hip-hop connoisseurs. Tap in, pour up, and let’s get into it.
