She "cultivates an ancient practice" (Tasting Panel), updating women's garden winemaking traditions for 21st century tastes. "Nitoto's wines are dry, complex, aged expressions of lavender, marigold, [rose] and hibiscus. Their quality is shaking up the wine world" (Mercury News). As Longevity Wines' Phil Long, president of the Association of African American Vintners, recently told NBC TV News, Aaliyah is "defying odds at every turn. 'She is not only a young black woman getting into the wine world...she’s also making a new category that doesn’t really exist in this industry.'"
