In a recent wine tasting tour, ReelUrbanNews.com spoke exclusively with Iris Rideau of Rideau Winery; enjoyed the sights, sounds and more wine at the Olive House and walked among classic and vintage cars in Solvang, California. Ms. Rideau is the only African American woman to own a vineyard in the nation. “When I planted the vineyard in 1998 is when I became serious about producing premium wine. This industry has always been exclusive to wealthy white males. I’m the only African American woman in the industry. That’s amazing in of itself.” Ms. Iris Rideau, Rideau Winery.
