Jermaine Stone, 35

Founder/CEO, Cru Luv Wine, Brooklyn, NY

Bridging the worlds of wine and hip hop

Bronx, New York, native Stone took a job at Zachys Wine to support his aspirations of hip hop stardom. Little did he know, the gig would change the course of his life. After more than a decade at auction houses, Stone combined his two loves with Cru Luv, a creative agency that seeks to engage hip hop fans in the world of wine. He also hosts a podcast, The Original Wine & Hip Hop, where he interviews people from both industries to match music to pours.
