Onye Ahanotu is the founder of Ikenga Wines (Bev Tech). Did you come of age christening weddings and graduations with palm wine? Have no idea palm trees could even produce wine?
Growing up in wine country, Sonoma County, right next door to Napa Valley, Onye's curiosity about palm wine began as he merged his Nigerian heritage with his African American surroundings and culture. This curiosity ultimately led Onye into the lab where he used his elite chemistry education to produce a first of its kind beverage.
Join us in the Oakland studio as we try Onye's palm wine for the very first time.
Inside you'll learn why the palm wine industry is ripe for domination in the United States and how Onye built a defensible moat around his product.
Onye and I dive deep into palm wine history and culture, including some unexpected turns in food culture in the United States.
