May 14, 2018Jessica Altieri1 Comment

A glass of wine is just a conversation waiting to happen as I always say, and today's conversation is with Chandon California Head Winemaker Pauline Lhote. We are sipping the 45th anniversary special edition of Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine. Pauline grew up on a farm in Champagne where bubbles were always part of her path. After she earned her National Diploma in winemaking at Reims, she worked at Moët & Chandon and Nicolas Feuillate. Pauline came to the United States for a three-month internship at Chandon and now leads the team that creates its sparkling wines. Join me and Pauline for a special, big bubbles podcast.
