Basic Cellars is a new venture from comedian Trey Kennedy in partnership with Animal Capital, In Good Taste and Top Shelf Ventures, offering accessible wines in single-serving glass bottles. "We created Basic Cellars because wine should be fun, not complicated," said Trey Kennedy, "I was consistently frustrated with how difficult and boujee the wine-buying process could be."
The brand is introducing itself with two expressions: Basic Red, a California Pinot Noir that offers a blend of cherries, raspberries, and sweet vanilla, and Basic White, an Italian white wine with notes of melon, citrus, and Mediterranean herbs from the southwest coast of Sicily.
Thanks to its quality, convenient packaging, Basic Cellars offers an alternative to wine in a can.
