Hello Friday. April 26 2024 This piece is part of our INDYtoday Q+A series. Do you know someone we should interview? Nominate them here.
Profile: Nicole Kearney is a lover of words + wines. She’s combined her passions to become winemaker and owner of Sip & Share Wines. She was named one of 40 African American Tastemakers (Under/Over 40) by Sabrina Jackson. And just recently, her wines have landed on the shelves of Total Wine & More in Nora — just in time for the holidays.
We asked Nicole 10 questions about her inspiration + how she got into winemaking. Keep reading to find out how Sip & Share Wines came to be. Describe your perfect day in Indy in the length of a Tweet (280 characters). Good food. Going to locally owned restaurants + spots, like 3 Sisters Cafe for breakfast — one of my favorite places. Probably The Trap Seafood for lunch and ending up at The Missing Brick pizza for dinner.
Name 3-5 other local leaders, influencers, or movers + shakers you’re watching. I have to say of course, Chef Oya with The Trap. She’s a really good friend of mine. I watch how she’s moving + kind of talk to her to get advice. Then, I would say Angel Hicks with 28Boutique and I would probably say Mr. WildStyle, the producer. He’s another person that I watch and look up to. I get a lot of my local news through him.
You can only choose one local restaurant menu to bring with you to a deserted island — which one is it and why? The Trap because I’m a pescatarian. I’m a huge fan + I’m gonna take every item on The Trap’s menu. EVENTS
