"As the first Black woman in metro Detroit to own a luxury wine brand, she also wants to inspire others. That’s why it was fitting that she launched her brand at House of Pure Vin in Detroit on Thursday evening. Regina Gaines, owner of the downtown Detroit wine shop, helped connect Thompson to the right people. The 3,100-square-foot space was packed Thursday evening with a fashionable set — most of them Black, and many of them women — as Opulence Wine sold out." - Monica Williams
