Our November Producer of the Month is none other than our very own TJ + Hadley Douglas, the founders of The Urban Grape AND wine brand ! 🥂

Founded in 2021, the goal of Progressive Wine Co. is to create accessibility and inclusion in the wine industry through the bottles themselves and the mission they support. $1 from every bottle of PWC sold supports the education of future cohorts in the Urban Grape’s Wine Studies Award for People of Color!

With the recent arrival of the Chardonnay and newest Pinot Noir vintage of PWC, the brand’s lineup is continuing to grow with the idea that there will be a bottle for every palate. Thank you to everyone who came out last night to Boston to taste and chat with TJ and Hadley at our free tasting—there is nothing like experiencing wine with our community and the people behind the bottle, and that’s what PWC and The Urban Grape is all about! 💗

Last week, I was lucky enough to spend the week at a yoga retreat in New Mexico. Yes, we did the asanas, but they were secondary to the real work—cultivating deep compassion for ourselves, our loved ones, and the world around us. Committing to love a world that doesn’t always love you back is hard and uncomfortable work, and for a few hours this morning I was angry that I had wasted my time healing myself in the face of world that won’t heal itself.

In this confusion, I was compelled to turn to trusted friend and mentor with a long history of working in politics in—someone who I don’t always agree with politically but who supports our business beliefs and wears our Progressive Wine Company shirt with pride. I asked him to help us find the way to get up and lead this company with courage.

Here is what he said: “There is now an opportunity for the small business community to define what is important to them, for their employees, and for their companies, as opposed to the government trying to define it. Your inspiration is igniting the passion and bravery of others. I know you will continue to model behavior that inspires others. Your platform as leaders causes good. I know you and TJ are up to the task of wielding your leadership responsibilities in a positive way.” It was the pep talk we needed to hear.

The Urban Grape is going to Urban Grape no matter what. We are going to call more people in and set more glasses and break down more doors and keep being a place of community every single day. All we ask in return is that you support ALL small businesses more today than you did yesterday. Small businesses are the soul of our communities, and we’re committed to making our Main Streets into a world that works for everyone.

Need a hug or a laugh? TJ and I will be pouring the new vintage of at The Urban Grape in Boston on Thursday night from 5-8 PM. We’d love to see you and do what we do best: share a glass of wine with the people we love.

om tare tuttare ture soha - a prayer for loving compassion today and every day 💗

Wow. What a year. In 2024, we: ⭐️ Launched a second retail location in Washington, DC and fell in love with the city and its residents ⭐️ Welcomed a whole new generation to the store (Hey Z’s!) and watched them get their wine footing alongside seasoned pros ⭐️ Grew our wine brand @progressivewineco with our first vintage of Chardonnay ⭐️ Graduated two incredible human beings, @ralphieontherind and @koenstep from our Wine Studies program and welcomed Bips for her year long study with us ⭐️ Hosted tens of thousands of you at the stores, from Bachelorette parties to US representatives ⭐️ Got a kid into college (HU here he comes! 🦬) ⭐️ Hung on for dear life more than once (thank you meditation, long walks, cold cocktails, and Only Murders for the assists) ⭐️ Continued to really not love Riesling (sorry not sorry) None of this would be possible without YOU. No one has a crystal ball for 2025, but we know with this community by our side it will be a good one. Lots of love, TJ, Hadley and the UG Team 💗
