When “The Kings of Napa” creator Janine Sherman Barrois first dreamt up the idea for her latest scripted series, and OWN’s juicy new family drama, she was in the midst of a visit …
But that fateful visit to Rideau Vineyard in Santa Ynez, Calif. nearly a decade ago wasn’t just any trip to wine country. It was the first time Barrois, the award-winning writer and producer behind “Claws” and “Self-Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker,” had seen a Black-owned vineyard. And she was inspired.
Barrois also quickly realized that setting this story in the world — an often family-led enterprise — also presented the perfect opportunity to fulfill her dream of creating a show with a Black family at its core. “I’ll put down a home family in that environment, make them grounded and real, and make us all relate to them,” she added., — who own a Napa Valley vineyard.
So, to celebrate the show’s launch, Barrois and the “Kings of Napa” cast gathered virtually for their premiere party, marking the occasion by shining a spotlight on Black restauranteurs and entrepreneurs in the wine industry.
