Today’s show is a delicious journey around the world of wine — starting right here at home with my Wines of the Week, including a little sunshine from the Loire Valley and a bold red with real attitude from South Africa.
Then, we’re heading to Bordeaux, where I’ll be joined by Véronique Hombreux from Mouton Cadet to talk about something truly inspiring — their Fair for Life certification, and how this historic Bordeaux house is leading the way in social and environmental sustainability.
From there, we’ll stay in Bordeaux for a moment and dive into the rich history of J. Lebègue with Jean-Pierre Durand, a man who knows this iconic brand inside and out — and whose stories will transport you straight to the vineyards of the Médoc.
And finally, we’ll take a long flight across the world to New Zealand, where we’ll explore the elegant, world-class wines of Kumeu River — a name that’s redefining what New Zealand Chardonnay can be.

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.
