We’re featuring New Jersey-based and black-owned wine company, Thrifttea, at this Thursday’s Supper Series. The wife-husband team operates a retail-social cafe that gives gently used items a second time around. In addition to being a cafe that serves a light breakfast, lunch and dinner, they also provide a diverse selection of premium teas. Come and enjoy a free wine tasting to go along with a delicious menu from @woulibamrestaurant in Maplewood.
