Stephen Satterfield is a self proclaimed “Origin Forager,” food writer, multimedia producer, and founder of Whetstone Magazine. Before his career in media, he was social entrepreneur, advocating for wine as a catalyst for economic development for black and indigenous wine workers in South Africa’s Western Cape.
He sits down with Kat Johnson to talk about his days as a sommelier, and how his love for wine still permeates his work with Whetstone, which is now growing into a full-fledged media company. One of his new projects, Wild Grapes, is a short film that follows Stephen as he visits Georgia (the country), the birthplace of winemaking. They also discuss some of the stories in the latest issue of Whetstone Magazine – from poppy seeds in Puerto Rico to the 'meroir' of seaweed varieties.
This wide-ranging conversations touches on the many aspects of Stephen's work in the food media world – he's also written for Esquire,* Wall Street Journal*,* SF Chronicle*,* NY Magazine*, and several other notable magazines and newspapers. Kat makes sure to get the scoop on Stephen's piece for Esquire about Rhum Agricole, which he predicts will be the next big thing in spirits.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
