Coucou everyone!
Pop a bottle of the yellow label - this week we venture to France to talk about the fearless entrepreneur, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin or La Veuve Clicquot. We discuss her life and influence on the Champagne industry that is still felt today. Then Catherine tells us about the origins of the Fleur-de-Lis. Santé, salut and listen in! Cheers!
