Herbal Vines Wines, an exclusive premium wine label founded in Chicago in 2019 by owner Damon Russell, stems from his passion for wine, dating back to 2016. After navigating the licensing process, Herbal Vines came to fruition, releasing its inaugural wine, 89 Halsted, in August 2022. Inspired by Damon's family roots in Chicago, particularly their long-standing home on 89th and Halsted, this wine serves as a tribute to his heritage. Produced in Napa Valley, Herbal Vines is dedicated to providing premium-quality wines to the underrepresented African American community.
