This candid conversation unpacks the rise of book banning in America and its impact on free speech, diversity, and education. Tune into the episode here.

Jean-Luc Colombo Picpoul de Pinet
“Les Girelles” Picpoul de Pinet: The Colombo family is one of the most respected in France’s Rhône Valley. Fresh and lively, “Les Girelles” takes its name from a local Mediterranean fish. An ideal aperitif or tasty match for seafood, naturally!
Fontanafredda Coste Rubìn Barbaresco DOCG
Coste Rubìn Barbaresco DOCG: Fontanafredda crafted the first bottle of nebbiolo labeled as “Barolo” — but they also make exceptional nebbiolo in the neighboring Barbaresco region. Barrel aged for one year, Coste Rubìn is well-structured, complex, and an impressive partner for holiday roasts.
