Dione Neal is growing in her passion for wine.  She fell in love with Hip Hop I mean wine back in the early 2000's. Like many she started off drinking something sweet but her curiosity made her dig deeper and venture off to tasting wines that know one around her really tasted. She just began taking her interest of wine to the next level by studying and passing the WSET 2 course with Napa Valley Wine Academy.

Along with studying and improving her wine knowledge. She host wine tasting events around her home town in St. Louis, MO and has an awesome Instagram page that features  African American Wine makers and vintners called @BlackWineTv. 

Dione's goal is to educate as many as she can about wine, how to drink enjoy  and choose wine with confidence.  To allow people to feel like wine is not unreachable, untouchable or just down right uppity but to view wine as an amazing beverage that offers relaxation by traveling to different countries and learning something knew just by the bottle you select.

Prior to developing his wine expertise, Dione received a B.A in Broadcast Journalism, Master of Business Administration. She played the viola and ran track n field in college.
