George Washington Carver Walker, III became a Level 1 Sommelier at 21 and graduated from the Culinary Institute of Michigan soon after. He has worked in positions all around West Michigan including Grove, i-lixir Beverage and SpartanNash. Through these companies, and by learning from other OG’s in the wine game, George sharpened his skills and built a diverse network of wine loving friends across the globe.

Now, George is determined to change the culture and perspective of wine through Graped Out. He remembers the days when he didn’t know the difference between a cabernet sauvignon and a sauvignon blanc and seeing very few wine-makers, sommeliers, and other professionals in the industry that looked like him. George believes that wine should be for the people and by the people - all of the people. He has created tasting experiences and events that include wine, art and music. He wants to take the “boujee” out of wine and Get Graped Out!

The Swirl Suite has wine and convos with Tanika Mangum. Tanika is the founder of Tanika Explores, where she is on a journey to attend a wine festival in every state. While on this journey, she noticed that very few black-owned or minority-owned wine was featured. She could have set out to explore these wines on her own, but she felt that the best wine experiences are shared experienced. Wine & Convos was born.
