CoolCleveland correspondent Liv Ream interviews Brian Kincaid, husband, father and first-generation college graduate. Brian relays the unlikely circumstances that led him to pursue a degree in Enology- the science of winemaking- during a global pandemic. View the video here.
After being introduced to urban winemaker and CoolCleveland columnist Mansfield Frazier, Kincaid was encouraged by the community leader and mentor to start his education at Kent State University. The two would continue to collaborate until Mansfield passed away in 2021.
Kincaid continued to nurture his passion, creating his first official wine, “The Enologist” with his wife Maya Kincaid, who started her own catering business, DressedTuKale. With a bachelors and branding under his belt, the winemaker is ready to let his ideas branch off and hints at several future projects under production.
The newly graduated Enologist invited CoolCleveland to a graduation/wine launch party, held at the Deep Roots Experience Art Gallery in Cleveland. Get to know the man behind the bottle, from business aspirations to community collaboration.
