Wine education should make room for candid DEI talks

Wine educator and Slik Wines co-founder Kyla Peal has been busy hosting virtual events and talking candidly with industry leaders about the importance of integrating diversity and inclusion topics into wine education. “The more we talk about a lack of inclusivity and diversity, the more it’ll stick in the minds of people who are in positions of power and can hire beverage directors, sommeliers, and wine representatives,” she says.
