The McBride Sisters Black Girl Magic Red Blend is a wine that celebrates the magic and resilience of black women. It is a powerful and flavorful blend that combines the richness of fruit and the complexity of flavors. The Black Girl Magic Red Blend is created by the McBride Sisters, Robin and Andréa McBride, who are the first sisters of color to own and operate a winery in the United States. Their winemaking journey began separately, with Andréa in New Zealand and Robin in California, but it eventually brought them together to create their own label. The wine itself is a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It showcases bold dark fruit flavors, such as blackberry and black cherry, with hints of spice and oak.

The Magic of Christmas
There were so many talented people that I was blessed to work with. This work would not be possible without the amazing arrangements of Brian Byrne from Navan, CO, Meath, Ireland. Brian you have out done yourself once again. Also, to my vocal instructor and coach, Michael Crouse. It looks like all of our hard work together has paid off. There is no way I could have sang this repertoire without you. Thank you so much for your guidance. A special thanks to Fred Guarino of Tiki Recording in New York. Thanks for your many hours and expertise. You are so gifted. Also, thank you to Jim and Angela Molloy, you two were the inspiration to record this symphonic Christmas album, if you did not ask me to perform at your production of The Magic of Christmas at Carnegie Hall in December 2008, I would have never recorded this album. Finally, thank you to my wife Susanna and my children Shannon and Ryan for your unconditional support.
