I have to say that I can pick ém. My love of Bordeaux and the volume of Bordeaux I have tasted has lead me to Chateau Haut Bailly. Under the tootlidge of Veronique Sanders-Van Beek, the winery continues to make great strides not only in quality, but developing the experience of wine. You see, wine it not just a beverage, it has a soul, a connection, an expression of its place and of it's time. I have been fortunate enough to consider Veronique a friend and I look for opportunities to tell the story of the Chateau. Here I speak with Cyprien Chamanhet, Marketing Director of the Chateau. I have to tell you, having Cyprien Champanhet from Chateau Haut-Bailly in the studio was a real treat and just the sort of conversation that reminds me why I love hosting Wine Talks. We sat down in Southern California on a January day, and from the get-go, Cyprien brought an honest and unpretentious energy to the discussion—he cuts straight to the point. "Do you like the wine?" he asked, and it was refreshing to hear someone in the trade boil things down to pleasure and emotion, not just technical complexity. Even with fine wines, the fundamental goal is enjoyment. That's a sentiment I think too often gets lost in the shuffle in our industry, which can sometimes take itself a bit too seriously. We quickly dove into the DNA of Chateau Haut-Bailly. Cyprien is both Sales Director and Marketing Communications Director, but more than wearing official hats, he embodies what makes the estate special—the constant drive to improve, to question, and to never stand still. It's not that they have some rigid, well-documented strategy; it's woven into their identity. Every decision they make at the château pivots on the question: will this improve the wine, the hospitality, or the relationships with their partners? That's where the magic really happens, not just in boardrooms, but passing in the vineyards, talking among the team, and always with the Wilmers family, their deeply involved owners. Speaking of the Wilmers, Cyprien talked about Chris Wilmers, their chairman, and professor of ecology at UC Santa Cruz. Now, there's a boardroom influence that definitely filters down into the vines—and you see it in their approach to sustainability. It's much more than lip service. The château doesn't use weed killers or insect killers, maintains century-old vines, and considers not just organic or biodynamic approaches, but a kind of "third way" that balances environmental impact, carbon footprint, and even workers' and neighbors' health. I love seeing how that academic, ecological mindset brings practical, tangible benefits to the vineyard. It's a beautiful fusion of tradition and progress. We did some deep thinking around terroir—that mysterious, oft-referenced concept that supposedly starts and ends in soil. But as I prodded Cyprien, he agreed terroir extends into philosophy, history, and—yes—the boardroom. The energy and ethos of a place, its leadership, and the team all seep into the bottle. That's why I've never bought the idea of "bad vintages" at places like Haut-Bailly. As long as what's in the bottle is an honest expression of what nature and experience handed you that year, it brings emotion and memory—like a great piece of music with recurring themes and intriguing variations. One of my favorite moments came when Cyprien talked about how the industry tries to please the consumer—with supermarket formula wines versus character-driven bottles. He wasn't going to pander; at Haut-Bailly, the style is distinctive, loyal to its roots, and never sacrificed for fast trends. The real reward is in education and curiosity—getting people excited about differences in vintage, terroir, and story. And as we swapped stories about wine tourism, he lit up describing the new tasting room and the personal touch they offer visitors. Every guest becomes an ambassador, every experience becomes a memory, and suddenly, the conversation around the table at home is about what happened at the château, not just what's in the glass. I have to say, trading observations and anecdotes with Cyprien made me optimistic. We're in an industry built on pleasure, memory, and shared stories. And if you ask me, keeping it honest and humble—like Haut-Bailly does—will always be the real cutting edge.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/DuX-gXglUy8 #WineTalks #ChateauHaultBailly #Podcast #WineIndustry #Bordeaux #WineTourism #Sustainability #Terroir #Winemaking #WineExperience #WineEducation #FineWines #ConsumerDriven #WineEmotion #WinePleasure #WineMarketing #Sommelier #WineVintages #VineyardLife #WineConversation

Fresh off a flight from LA, Vogue's cover star, Amanda Seyfried is back in New York and on The Run Through to talk about award season!“I will say my favorite part … was being at the A24 party at the Chateau,” says Seyfried reflecting on the Golden Globes that happened Sunday evening.  “I was just on the couch with a bunch of people that I like and don't ever see except at award shows.” Seyfried says she was surprised when a conversation in the Golden Globes ballroom with Jennifer Lawrence was picked up by cameras. “There are still moments when I forget that people are watching it,” says Seyfried. “It was a little bit unnerving when I saw that because I just believed, I guess, stupidly that it was a private conversation.” Seyfried was a two-time nominee at the ceremony for her roles in the Testament on Ann Lee and the television series Long Bright River. With award season in full swing, she's been working closely with her stylist Elizabeth Stewart to make sure she is red carpet ready. “We've been wearing a lot of Prada and we decided to wear a Versace [to the Golden Globes], which is always trusted and beautiful and classic as well. Away from Hollywood, Seyfried's wardrobe is much more casual as she cares for 52 animals on her farm upstate. “I'll wear the big tall muck boots,” says Seyfried. “The ones you can't drive a car in 'cause your foot can't reach the pedal.” Her animals include peacocks, chickens, goats, horses, donkeys and a new rescue rabbit named Bugsy that is a bit stand-offish. “He could be 37 years-old.” says Seyfried. “ I have absolutely no idea. He's got a droopy wet eye. But he's very nice it seems.”  In The Testament of Ann Lee directed by Mona Fastvold, Seyfried plays the titular character who is credited with creating the Shaker religious community in the mid-18th century. “The Shakers worshiped through song and dance,” says Seyfried on the challenge of undertaking the role as their leader.“The singing had to be second nature.” says Seyfried on her performance. “But with singing, I've always been judging myself as I've been doing it. Even in Les Mis, I wasn't present the way I was. So I had to let go of that very early on. And the key to that was she's human and I need to feel it. It's not about how it sounds. It's about how it feels. And I need the audience to become a Shaker for two and a half hours.”While promoting the film, Seyfried's 8 year-old daughter Nina was introduced to one of her mother's earlier roles in the cult classic Mean Girls. “She said that she didn't think it was that funny,” recalls Seyfried. “but she really loved my role. That was Nina's critique of Mean Girls at age eight.”The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Episode 580: A Vacation in Southern Brittany with Elyse takes you on a journey through one of France's most enchanting yet underrated regions. Host Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin dive into the hidden treasures of Southern Brittany, sharing their firsthand experiences and insider tips. This episode is perfect for travelers who love history, coastal charm, and authentic French culture—without the crowds. Listen to this episode ad-free Annie and Elyse start by exploring the Château de Suscinio, a 1,000-year-old castle that was once the second home of the Dukes of Brittany. Recently restored, this fortress now offers interactive exhibits, medieval crossbow demonstrations, and even a moat filled with swans. Elyse shares fascinating stories about the castle's past, including how it was gifted to a royal mistress and later abandoned before being brought back to life. If you're traveling with kids (or just a kid at heart), you'll love the hands-on activities and the chance to step into a real-life fairy tale. Next, they head to Île d'Arz, a peaceful island in the Gulf of Morbihan. Known as the "Island of Captains," this tiny gem is packed with history, from prehistoric megaliths to a medieval church and a working tidal mill. Elyse describes the island's unique vibe, where women once ran the farms while their men sailed the seas. You can walk or bike around the entire island in a day, stopping at quiet beaches, local crêperies, and even a sailing school. Elyse's personal anecdotes—like trying sesame ice cream for the first time—make the island feel like a place you need to visit. The episode also covers practical tips for exploring Southern Brittany. Elyse recommends basing your trip in Vannes, a charming city with a lively market and easy access to the gulf's many islands. She and Annie discuss the best ways to get around, including boat tours and bike rentals, and why the region's strong tides make every visit to the coast a little different. For food lovers, Southern Brittany is a dream. Elyse raves about fresh oysters for just six euros a dozen and the local Breton spritz, a cider-based twist on the classic Aperol spritz. The region's seafood, crêpes, and artisanal treats are not to be missed. Whether you're planning a trip or just dreaming of one, this episode is your guide to the best of Southern Brittany. Annie and Elyse's conversational style makes you feel like you're right there with them, discovering hidden gems and soaking up the local culture.

A century of seasons has worn the appearance of the log cabin Roy Fure built in present-day Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska, but his care of the small cabin, and later National Park Service restoration efforts, have enabled it to stand the test of time. Dovetail-notched spruce logs still sit tightly together, the corrugated metal roof Fure replaced his sod roof with in 1930 and painted red could use a new coat of paint, but otherwise looks rainproof, and the windmill he erected to generate electricity still stands tall. Across the 85+ million-acre National Park System there are tens of thousands of historic structures — 19th-century homesteads, Civil War structures, Civil Rights facilities, presidential homes, artworks and more — but not all receive the same treatment as Fure's cabin. • At  Oregon Caves National Monument and Preserve in Oregon, the historic, and once charming, Chateau with 23 rooms has been closed since 2018 due to structural issues and a lack of funding to address them. • In Kansas, the Park Service last year gained title to the First Baptist Church at Nicodemus National Historic Site, but a lack of funding has left the 118-year-old house of worship boarded up. • At Gettysburg National Military Park the David Wills house, where President Lincoln spent the night before delivering his address, has been closed since fall 2024 when a water line burst and flooded the structure. Those are just a very small handful of historic structures in the National Park System that are among thousands competing for scarce rehabilitation dollars. To discuss the situation across the park system we've invited Pam Bowman, the senior director of government relations at the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Riding on the coat tails of last week's jewel heist episode, I'm back this week with the intriguing history of the Hope Diamond.  The story of the Hope Diamond is convoluted. It changed hands many times, stolen on several occasions and was gradually cut down from 112 carats to just 45 and a half today. Known for its rich blue color and red phosphorescence, the Hope Diamond is extremely rare and highly coveted. But, a big part of the reason the Hope Diamond is so well known is not because it's pretty and sparkly. It's because it has a rather dark past. In fact, when you follow the story of the Hope Diamond back through its many owners, you may begin to notice a trail of destruction and tragedy left in its wake. For many, the tragic demise of many of the diamond's former owners is even proof of a curse. This infamy is a big part of what makes the Hope Diamond the most famous diamond in the world with an estimated value of between 200 and 350 million dollars. But, is any of it true? Or is it all a publicity stunt? Let's fix that. Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: So Supernatural "The Curse of the Hope Diamond"Wikipedia "Hope Diamond"Wikipedia "Pierre C.

In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, host Annie Sargent talks with Abigail Carter, a writer and YouTube creator who made a huge life change. Abigail lost her husband in the 9/11 attacks. She raised her two young children in Seattle. Then the pandemic hit and forced her to rethink everything. She realized she wanted a new chapter. Listen to this episode ad-free Abigail began watching videos of people renovating châteaux in France. The idea stuck. She loves travel. She loves houses. She has renovation experience. So she came to France to look at properties. At first, it felt like a fun adventure. But then she walked into a large maison de maître near Agen. It had high ceilings, old windows, caves in a cliff, and a lot of charm. Abigail made an offer the very next day. It was accepted. She found herself the owner of a twelve-bedroom home in the French countryside. Annie and Abigail talk about how to buy a property in France. They discuss inspections, banking, moving money, and dealing with renovations. They also talk about the language challenge. Abigail uses apps, Zoom lessons, and practice in daily life to improve her French. Abigail now runs creative retreats at the château. People come to sketch, write, enjoy food and wine, and discover the countryside. She has already formed a growing community around this project. Annie and Abigail share tips for anyone dreaming of a similar move. They also highlight great places to visit around Agen, including Nérac, Lectoure, Pujols, and Monflanquin. This is a story about resilience, creativity, and starting over in France. It's an inspiring reminder that you can build a new life in a new place.

First off, President of the ILHA, Barak Hirschowitz, and Co-Founder of the association, Jonathan Edelheit, join the podcast to preview the upcoming INSPIRE USA conference taking place on December 10-11, in Las Vegas, Nevada.  These two luxury hospitality experts discuss several important topics in this episode, including the humble origin of the ILHA, how the luxury hotel market is leading the industry in innovation, what attendees can look forward to from INSPIRE USA 2025, and much more. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in, and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of the Suite Spot, episode 185, and from the title we are previewing another hospitality event. One of my favorite things to do look at, and this one, it's a first timer for me, not certainly for our guests. I'm gonna bring them and we're gonna talk all about it. The Inspire USA event hosted by ILHA, the International Luxury Hotel Association. My two guests with me today, Barak Hirschowitz, President of the ILHA, and Jonathan Edelheit, co-founder of the ILHA, Barak, Jon, thank you so much for taking the time and checking into the Suite Spot with me. Barak Hirschowitz: Well, thank you. It's wonderful to be here and great to meet you. Ryan Embree: And we're excited about it, excited about the event, but before we get into that, I wanna just start with a little bit of hospitality background. We always love to kind of start there. Hospitality's such a funky industry. People come from different brands, they come from different backgrounds. Sometimes they fall into it, sometimes they fall into the industry with a summer job, sometimes they're born into the industry. So I figured let's go ahead and give our Suite Spot audience a little bit of background into your hospitality journey and what led you to the ILHA Barak. We'll start with you and then go to Jon. Barak Hirschowitz: Yeah, thanks. So I started in the industry in the late, late eighties, early nineties. I went to Johnson Wales. I started as a, I started in culinary, as many people do in the hotel industry. And those were interesting times because back then there were really only a couple of places you get a degree in culinary arts. So it led me to, you know, travel abroad, which was great. I started, just before I went overseas, I did an internship at the Grand Floridian, which believe it or not, was still a fairly new hotel back then. And then started working abroad internationally, moved eventually to more the hotel side of the business. I worked in South Africa for some very well-known hotel brands. Sun International. Sun International is Saul K's original brand that he had when he was still based in South Africa. So that, you know, today we know him for Atlantis and we know him for one, um, one and only hotels. But, um, back then he had Sun International, so I worked with him. I worked for a company called Halian Hotels, which had, uh, luxury hotels in, in South Africa, and actually a few up Africa as well. And, um, I had an opportunity, I guess my sort of real push, first push into luxury was in the late nineties. I got to help open a hotel called Bushman's Klu in South Africa, which is a luxury safari lodge. The year, within a year of opening, we, um, we became a member of Relay and Chateau, which was a pretty prestigious, uh, pretty prestigious organization. And after I left a couple of years later, the hotel went on to win Best Hotel in the world, um, travel and Leisure. So, you know, that was a, it was really a, a great opportunity to see the best of the best in the world. I still to this day think it's probably the most luxurious property I've ever stayed in, and still the best service, uh, that I've ever seen in any hotel.

Janice Deerwester, a retired teacher and widow, was working at Cracker Barrel when a song stopped her in her tracks—Peggy Lee's “Is That All There Is?” It struck a chord, sparking a deep realization: there had to be more to life. Determined to make a change, Janice set out to transform her reality. After being captivated by the stunning Chateau de Fontainebleau in a movie, she knew she had found her new home — Fontainebleau, France. At 70, Janice sold most of her belongings, gave away what she could, and embarked on a bold new chapter with just three suitcases, a cat, and a dog in tow. Today, she's thriving in France, proving it's never too late to chase your dreams and live life on your own terms.

Wine Talks with Paul Kalemkiarian
Science, Grapes, and Adventure: A Wine Student's Summer at Chateau Haut-Bailly

A few years ago, a young woman was interning at the Original Wine of the Month Club. Her internship revolved around social networking, office duties, and one particular job that may have set her career path. Lisa Kassabian was to write the talking points for all my podcasts that featured a woman in wine.  She would research the guest, write up peritnent points, present the to me and together we would redirect or correct. When that work was completed, Lisa was invited on set to hear how her questions worked and how the guest would respond. Maybe I had something to do with it, it would certainly make sense...because eventually, Lisa became an Enology student at Cornell University.  At the University, all students in this curriculum are required to do an internship before they graduate. This is the story of Lisa's internship at the famed Chateau Haut Bailly. For sure, if you want to know the insights a young wine Enology student might gain from the academic side and the practical side of wine...this is the episode. Lisa Kassabian never expected that an afterschool “All About Grapes” club would spark a journey from a Los Angeles vineyard to the heart of Bordeaux. In this episode of Wine Talks, you'll discover how a childhood passion for science—and a hobby vineyard at home—led Lisa from California to Cornell, and ultimately, to an eye-opening internship in France. You'll gain a rare behind-the-scenes view of the very real intersections between wine, science, and culture, as Lisa reveals how pruning and fermentation chemistry connect to centuries of tradition. Listen closely and you'll learn what really happens when theory meets the terroir: from tackling grapevine netting and barrel racking to navigating French hospitality, language barriers, and immaculate cellars. Through Lisa's first-hand stories, you'll hear what distinguishes French winemaking—the meticulous attention to detail, relentless innovation, and deep cultural ties that set Bordeaux apart from Napa. Ever wonder what it's like to balance the academic rigor of soil science classes with tasting your family's Sauvignon Blanc in sunny California? Or how it feels to pour wine at a charity gala in a historic French château? This episode peels back the reality of building a global wine career, from landing international internships to learning the business beyond the classroom, and even discovering which French pastries pair best with your morning commute. By the end, you'll understand not only the pathways women are carving into the industry, but also why every bottle holds a world of stories, science, and adventure—a revelation sure to inspire future vintners and aficionados alike.   Cornell University https://www.cornell.edu   UC Davis (University of California, Davis) https://www.ucdavis.edu   Château Haut-Bailly https://www.haut-bailly.com   Sequoia Grove Winery https://www.sequoiagrove.com   Smith Haut Lafitte https://www.smith-haut-lafitte.com   Château Lynch-Bages https://www.lynchbages.com   Château Giscours https://www.giscours.com #wineTalks #LisaKassabian #PaulKalemkiarian #viticulture #enology #CornellUniversity #wineinternship #ChateauHautBailly #Bordeaux #NapaValley #womeninwine #Frenchwine #wineeducation #vineyardmanagement #winemaking #winescience #Frenchculture #wineindustry #winecareers #winepodcast
