This week on The Business of Watches, we sit down with the business leader who has headed the reborn Czapek & Cie. brand for more than a decade now. Xavier de Roquemaurel didn't come from the watch industry when he co-founded Czapek with fellow entrepreneur Harry Guhl with help from watchmaker Sébastien Follonier in 2015. He's had to learn the industry on the job and while Czapek burst on the scene by winning the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Public Prize in its debut year in 2016, the company and de Roquemaurel have faced plenty of challenges along the way. From the novel financing and shareholder model they created to fund the startup, to reckoning with a massive surge of back orders for their popular Antarctique integrated bracelet sports watch model during the boom times of the post-pandemic era, as well as serious health and medical ordeals. Reconsidering all the tests he and the company have faced, de Roquemaurel says he now believes that "adversity gets the best out of you." Today, Czapek has just opened a new boutique on the historic Quai des Bergues in Geneva on the same banks of the Rhone river where François Czapek himself had his first atelier in the 1800s. In a wide ranging interview, the Czapek CEO traces both the path of the reborn brand and how it has found inspiration in the legacy of the watchmaker that opened what is believed to be the first watch boutique on Place de Vendome in Paris while producing timepieces for Napoleon III and the French Imperial court. Stay tuned to the end for a preview of what complication the brand might take on next.

Is Lyon, France the Most Livable City in Europe for Gay Retirees? With Eric WayIn this episode, host Mark Goldstein sits down with Eric Way, a Tennessee-born engineer who arrived in Lyon, France, in 1989 as a university exchange student and never left. Now approaching his 38th year in the city, Eric lives downtown in a 19th-century apartment with his French architect husband and splits time between Lyon and a farmhouse they own in the French Alps. He brings a rare depth of perspective: nearly four decades as an American expat, a career in corporate diversity and inclusion, and a front-row seat to how Lyon has evolved as a livable, gay-friendly city.This episode covers what it actually looks like to build a life in Lyon: the walkability, the world-ranked healthcare, the cost of living compared to Paris, the LGBTQ+ scene, the visa path, and the honest trade-offs.What Is LyonLyon is France's third-largest city, located in southeastern France at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers, a geographic feature that gives the city two riverfront parks and a distinctive linear layout. It sits roughly two hours south of Paris by high-speed train and serves as a hub for reaching the French Alps, the Beaujolais wine region, Burgundy, the Riviera, and even Barcelona. The historic center, known as the Presqu'île (the peninsula), is a UNESCO World Heritage site dating back to the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. Lyon is widely considered the gastronomic capital of France.Why Eric Chose LyonEric arrived in 1989 on a one-year university exchange program and found something he did not expect: a city whose values matched his own. Coming from a fundamentalist Christian family in Tennessee and still in the process of coming out, he discovered in Lyon a culture of live-and-let-live tolerance that felt, in his words, freer than the United States. He stayed. A few years later, he met his husband. The rest, as he says, is history.LGBTQ+ LifeLyon has a visible but modest LGBTQ+ scene concentrated around the City Hall area on the Presqu'île. At the time of recording, there are two gay bars, a gay sauna, a sex club, and a bear bar reportedly opening within months. There is a city-sponsored LGBTQ+ center and an annual Pride march, though Eric notes that Lyon Pride has become more politically divided in recent years, with some organizers now refusing corporate participation. The broader city is deeply accepting. Eric and his husband have lived part-time in a 250-person Alpine village for years and describe being fully adopted by their elderly neighbors without a moment of discomfort. Among their friend group, gay and straight friendships naturally overlap, though, like many couples without children, their closest circle has become predominantly other gay couples over time.Daily Life and WalkabilityEric's doctor is three blocks away. His pharmacy, organic grocery store, bank, bakery, butcher, and eye care are all within one to two blocks. Outdoor markets run on Wednesdays and Sundays in his neighborhood. The metro system is efficient and growing, with a tram network expanding even faster. A single ticket costs approximately 2.30 euros and covers one hour of travel. Monthly passes run around 100 euros. Seniors receive rail discounts starting at age 60, often allowing first-class travel at second-class prices.Eric drives his older car into Lyon no more than 52 times per year under a city environmental permit system, which he now finds perfectly adequate since he is no longer working. Lyon's riverfront parks, pedestrian streets, and walkable neighborhoods make car ownership largely optional for daily life.Costs and HousingLyon is typically half the price of Paris for both rent and property. Eric and his husband purchased their 800-square-foot, two-bedroom downtown apartment approximately 30 years ago for about $35,000. It is now worth roughly ten times that. Their monthly electricity bill runs approximately 70 to 80 euros every two months; gas adds about 45 euros on top of that. France applies a 20% VAT on most purchases, which is worth factoring into any cost-of-living comparison.HealthcareFrance's healthcare system consistently ranks first in the world for quality, accessibility, and cost. A standard doctor visit costs 30 euros; specialist visits range from 70 to over 100 euros. Foreign residents access coverage through PUMA, France's universal health coverage, which applies to legal residents regardless of employment status. Most residents also carry a Mutuelle, a supplementary top-up insurance policy that covers what the national system does not. Eric pays approximately 250 euros per month for a Mutuelle covering both himself and his husband.Visas and ResidencyThe standard route for American retirees is a long-stay visitor visa, applied for through the French consulate in the United States before departure. Residents typically start with one-year renewals before eventually qualifying for a ten-year card. Eric notes that a recent change to French law has removed the citizenship pathway for non-working residents. Americans retiring to France on a visitor visa are unlikely to be eligible for naturalization under the current rules.France does not officially recognize a digital nomad visa. Eric cautions anyone planning to work remotely in France to take legal advice before doing so, as working without proper authorization carries real risk.TaxesThe US-France tax treaty is highly favorable for American retirees. If your income is US-sourced, France will generally not tax it, and you will continue paying US rates. Eric recommends working with both a US tax preparer and a French one, particularly for the first few years.One specific flag: France does not recognize trusts. If you have a trust established in the United States, you need professional advice before moving to France, as it will be taxed very unfavorably and may fall outside the treaty's protections.France also has a wealth tax on real estate holdings above approximately 1.2 million euros, and forced heirship laws that entitle children to a portion of your estate regardless of your wishes. Both are worth understanding before making the move.Crime and SafetyEric has lived in Lyon's city center for nearly four decades and describes feeling consistently safe. In that entire time, he recalls one incident in which he and his husband were briefly followed downtown and had to walk away quickly. France has a higher rate of property crime relative to the United States, but a significantly lower rate of violent crime and essentially no gun violence outside of hunting contexts. Responsible gun ownership is legally required: pistols for target shooting require a course and registration.Arts, Culture, and CommunityLyon has the second-largest fine arts museum in France outside the Louvre, a national orchestra, a Jean Nouvel-designed opera house, the Maison de la Danse (an internationally renowned contemporary dance center with a biennial festival), and rotating modern art exhibitions in repurposed industrial spaces. The Festival of Lights each December transforms the city's buildings into a four-day sound-and-light spectacle. June 21 brings the Fête de la Musique, a nationwide outdoor concert event where every square in the city fills with live music from classical to rock to jazz.What to Know Before You GoFrench is essential. Eric is direct about this: people who arrive expecting to get by on a few phrases or believing fluency will come by osmosis are setting themselves up for frustration and social isolation. He recommends investing in one-on-one instruction before you arrive, not after. Jumpspeak is his suggested app for building conversational fluency.The climate has four seasons: mild winters with rare snow, pleasant springs and autumns, and summers that are warming noticeably due to climate change. Eric manages without air conditioning through insulation techniques, though newer and renovated buildings increasingly have heat pumps that provide cooling as a byproduct.Lyon rewards people who want to get out and explore. The city sits at the gateway to the Alps, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Provence, the Riviera, Switzerland, and Italy. Eric and his husband once went bungee jumping in the Alps, drove to Italy for pasta for dinner, and were home in Lyon that night. For those who prefer to stay closer to home, the outdoor markets, river walks, and restaurant scene are enough to fill a very good life.Resources MentionedPresqu'ile: Lyon's central peninsula neighborhood between the Rhone and Saone rivers Perrache: The original Lyon train station, three minutes from Eric's apartment Fourviere: The hilltop with Lyon's famous basilica and Roman ruins Beaujolais vineyards: 30 minutes from Lyon; beautiful in autumn Albertville: Near Eric's Alpine farmhouse; site of the 1992 Winter Olympics Festival of Lights (Fete des Lumieres): Annual four-day light installation festival each December Fete de la Musique: June 21, nationwide outdoor music festival Maison de la Danse: Lyon's internationally recognized contemporary dance center PUMA: France's universal health coverage for residents Mutuelle: Supplementary insurance that tops up public healthcare coverage PACS: French civil partnership; same tax treatment as marriage, with one exception: survivor pension rights do not transfer unless married Jumpspeak: Language learning app recommended by Eric for conversational FrenchListen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts, on YouTube, or at

What does it take to build a winery that honors both the land and the people who cultivate it?In this episode, we meet Andy Neja, founder and winemaker of Cairjn Wine Cellars, one of Paso Robles' most exciting boutique wineries. Named after the word "cairn"—a carefully stacked pile of stones that serves as both a landmark and a tribute—Cairjn reflects Andy's family's farming heritage and the limestone-rich soils that define the West Paso landscape.Andy didn't simply become a winemaker—he immersed himself in every aspect of the wine industry, from vineyard work and farming to hospitality, retail, and cellar operations. That hands-on experience shaped a philosophy centered on one simple belief: "Winemaking happens in the vineyard; everything else is secondary."Together, we explore how sustainability, meticulous vineyard practices, and relationships with some of Paso Robles' finest growers allow Cairjn to produce small-lot wines of exceptional character.Andy also shares the challenges and rewards of launching his own label, the importance of honoring vineyard workers, and why authenticity remains the foundation of every bottle.Whether you're passionate about fine wine, terroir, sustainable farming, or entrepreneurial journeys, this conversation offers an inspiring look at the dedication required to transform a dream into one of California's most promising boutique wineries.Pour yourself a glass and discover why Cairjn Wine Cellars is quickly becoming one of Paso Robles' hidden treasures.

Creating a successful business from scratch is nearly impossible.  Even if you have a great idea for an exceptional product, bringing it to life requires indomitable confidence and unwavering commitment in the face of insurmountable odds.  And maybe a healthy dose of naivety. Our guest for this episode fits that bill.  A true embodiment of purpose and drive, Nate Checketts, co-founder and CEO of the performance lifestyle apparel brand Rhone, along with his brother, Ben Checketts, seems to have willed their business into being without a reasonable doubt of its survivability.  From an idea at a dinner table to one of the fastest growing premium activewear brands in the market, Rhone has planted its flag and proven its worth among the world's heaviest contenders and has no intention of slowing down.    With game-changing product built for similarly ambitious, health conscious customers, Rhone begs the question, “why settle for anything less?” If comfort is important to you, if looking fantastic is at all important to you, then Rhone should be important to you.   Thanks for tuning in to episode 115.  We hope you enjoy it! Did you know that YOU can be on The Nordy Pod? This show isn't just a one-way conversation. We want to hear about what Nordstrom looks like through your eyes. Share your Nordstrom experience, good or bad, by giving us a call and leaving a voicemail at: 206.594.0526, or send an email to nordypodcast@nordstrom.com to be a part of the conversation!

What makes a vineyard truly exceptional? Is it the soil, the climate, the people—or the philosophy behind every bottle?In this episode, we take you to the breathtaking hills of Alta Colina Vineyard & Winery, one of Paso Robles' most acclaimed Rhône wine estates, where every wine begins with a simple belief: great wine is grown, not made.Founded by Bob Tillman after a lifelong dream of creating world-class wines, Alta Colina has become a benchmark for Rhône varietals in California. Perched nearly 1,800 feet above sea level in the renowned Adelaida District, the estate combines fractured shale soils, cool Pacific breezes, organic farming, and minimal intervention to produce wines that express the purest character of their vineyard.We explore the fascinating journey from engineer to winery owner, the family's commitment to sustainability, the unique terroir that makes Alta Colina so distinctive, and the meticulous winemaking process that transforms hand-harvested grapes into some of Paso Robles' most celebrated Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Rhône blends.This episode is about much more than wine—it's about vision, patience, family, and respecting nature.

Winemaker Ted Seghesio from Solo Nostro Wines is our guest today on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. Ted used to work for the winery that bears his family name. In what he refers to now as his “previous post,” he made Zinfandel for 40 years. He still makes it under the new label, among many other varietals. Solo Nostro is Italian for “ours alone.” Ted started as as winemaker in 1979 when the Seghesio family had been making wine already for many decades. The winery used open top concrete fermenters and redwood storage tanks. They had 400 acres of vineyards including French Colombard, Chenin Blanc, Carignane and Zinfandel. He remembers the advent of White Zin in the 1980s that saved a lot of Zinfandel vineyards. Ted and his wife honeymooned in the Rhone region when they got married in 2015. When they created Solo Nostro in 2019, they chose to feature Rhone varietals, Grenache Blanc and Syrah, as well as a Rhone white blend. In addition to that, also make Dolcetto. They plan to expand their portfolio to other Mediterranean grapes. The Dolcetto is from their estate, and they get others from other local growers. Viognier and Dolcetto Rosato They planted Viognier because it was harder to find locally and they wanted it. Viognier can be tricky from year to year, the crop sizes are not as consistent as other varieties. So that is a risk for a winery or a grower. Now they taste a Viognier that Dan says has the flower basket aroma typical of Viognier. It should smell like flowers. They picked at 3am, and went straight to the press at 50 degrees F, then straight to the concrete amphora. After 2 months fermentation, they left it on the lees until 6 months then bottled it. It has flavors of ripe peaches and apricots and floral flavors that put Viognier “in a different class.” Dan says to put this in oak barrels would be a misdemeanor. Dan estimates its alcohol is around 13.8. It’s 13.9. This would not be for aging. In France they do not age this wine. The floral aromatics are there to be enjoyed now. It should be served below 65 degrees. Solo Nostro Wines are available at Bacchus’ Landing, which has various events. The owners are the former owners of the lucrative Low-Rider Magazine so they also hold an annual car show too. Dan says the place is “just stunning.” Next is a Syrah, which is another variety that Ted did not work with in his previous post. It has thick skins. In 2022 it was 116 degrees on Labor Day. Fortunately they had picked the day before. It came out with blueberry essence with a trace of pepper. Dan says it needs two years to get to its ideal place. The Consumer Is In the Driver’s Seat With the downturn in sales in the wine industry right now, consumers have opportunities to try wines at prices they wouldn’t find. Some wines that already have an extra year of aging are now reaching the market which is good for buyers. Slow sales mean the wines for sale may be longer aged. One reason why California wines have become so popular is that they deliver fruit. On the east coast where they grew up with European wine, they are missing the California fruit flavors. Daedalus asks if there is something about the California palette. Are we spoiled? Well, we are just different. Ted says they have done comparative tastings forever, France, Italy, California, lots of them. “Our fruit always stood out.” The Pivot Daedalus asks Ted how he made the pivot in his career. He quit Seghesio in 2018 and his wife Dana was studying in the Sonoma State University Executive Business program. They were going to start a winery but the wildfires wiped them out. They were going to call it Atto Due, Act Two. He rode Seattle to Portland and passing back into California, they found themselves before a breathtaking scene with nobody else around. Dana remarked, Solo Nostro which in Italian means “Ours Alone.” They only make 500 cases per year so far. He even makes a little Pinot Noir. They will also make Sangiovese. He will get some grapes from a vineyard that started with vines that his grandfather planted in 1910. Nobody else has century-old Sangiovese vineyard in California.

74-year-old Dwight William Rhone has pleaded not guilty to murdering four men over the span of 30 years and detectives believe there may be even more victims out there. Rhone was in custody for the 2023 murder of Bernardo Moreno when they found human remains of Michael Brown buried under a home where Rhone was previously a tenant. After that, investigators were able to link two more unsolved murders to Rhone from 1993 and 2002 and are actively looking at Rhone in connection with at least two other dead or missing people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recorded live at the Retail Collective Summit on May 4–5, 2026, moderators Sean Reyes and Robert Axon host a powerhouse panel featuring Nate Checketts (Rhone), Matt Navarro (Stanley), Brian Garofalow (Skullcandy), and Nate Alder (Klymit). This session bypasses retail buzzwords to expose how iconic consumer goods brands build fierce emotional connection and community loyalty. The executives open up about their biggest operational hurdles, from Matt Navarro fixing Stanley's crumbling infrastructure during a period of explosive, viral growth to Nate Checketts buying back Rhone from private equity to protect a 50-year brand-first vision over short-term fund cycles. Brian Garofalow reveals how Skullcandy completely flipped a negative brand perception by launching a low-cost, high-impact product partnership with Bose, while Nate Alder details how Klymit used rapid CNC beta testing to give users a sense of product ownership. Together, they deliver a blunt masterclass on navigating Shopify scale, data analytics, and embracing the patient, multi-year journey required to build an authentic legacy brand.

The Wine Trinity Hill Marsanne Roussanne 2024, Gimblett Gravels, Hawke's Bay RRP from $40.00 Marsanne and Roussanne are classic grapes of the Rhone that are now cultivated in New Zealand. These varieties can make white wines and are often used in red blends as well, such as a Chateauneuf du Pape, or even a white Chateauneuf du Pape. A distinctive profile that is both fresh and fragrant with scents of quince and citrus and some stone fruits like white peach and apple. It's framed by a layer of fruit spice, lees, and a distinctive mineral saline suggestion. It has a silky touch at first, then a surge of acidity and mineral, lees and fruit. Matured in French oak barriques and puncheons. The season Rather excellent for Hawke's Bay and most of the country, delivering wine of concentration and power and allowing the winemakers to use a little more new oak if desired to add complexity and enhance flavours. The food A wine like this needs food that is less complex to allow the voice of the wine to speak louder. A shellfish dish in a creamy sauce, a ballotine of chicken filled with sausage, prosciutto, and pistachios or a mild cheese and spinach.

In this episode of Retail War Games, I'm joined by my friend Ben Checketts, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Rhone. We dive deep into the raw, entrepreneurial journey of building one of the most respected premium activewear brands in the market today, and how a focus on community and quality has been their ultimate North Star. Ben and I discuss the philosophy that has guided Rhone from day one: the belief that "all ships rise with the tide". We explore how they've navigated the complexities of scaling a global brand while staying rooted in authentic human connections. From the early lessons learned growing up between the East Coast and Utah to receiving career-defining advice from industry legends like Jerry at Nike, Ben offers a masterclass in creative leadership and the power of putting "good vibes" back into the business ecosystem.

Most performance apparel brands tell you they're building a lifestyle. Nate Checketts actually means it. As CEO and co-founder of Rhone, he's built a company where mental fitness isn't marketing—it's the foundation. "We say internally that we are a wellness company that just happens to sell clothes," Checketts explains. But here's what makes that more than a tagline: in year two of launching women's apparel, Rhone did more revenue than it generated in its first eight years of men's business combined.In this episode of The Retail Pilot, Ken Pilot unpacks Rhone's unconventional journey—from defying the "wholesale is dead" narrative to launching a women's line that's reshaping the company's trajectory. They discuss why Warby Parker's advice to embrace wholesale early changed everything, how the 12 Pursuits mental fitness framework became both internal culture and external brand positioning, and why Checketts spent years resisting a women's launch before discovering his best customers were already 30% female.In this episode you'll learn:Why Rhone embraced wholesale when every DTC brand said it was dead—and how it drove faster profitabilityHow Rhone's women's business generated more revenue in 2 years than 8 years of men'sThe mental health crisis that inspired Nate to start Rhone—and why he couldn't build "just another apparel brand"Rhone's 12 Pursuits framework: How Benjamin Franklin's 13 virtues became a scalable mental fitness systemWhy "commuter" apparel became one of Rhone's biggest categoriesHow Rhone navigated tariffs with a "third, third, third" model—splitting costs between suppliers, margins, and customersThe Rerun resale program with Archive: Why high-quality product beats greenwashingRhone's AI approach across design, merchandising, and customer service—and why "losing your job to someone who uses AI better" is the real riskHow Rhone differentiates from Lululemon and Alo by targeting "whole person health" vs. yoga-focused positioningEssential listening for: brand founders navigating wholesale vs. DTC decisions, retail operators building purpose-driven businesses, apparel executives considering gender expansion, and anyone interested in how premium performance brands compete in an oversaturated market.Subscribe to The Retail Pilot for more conversations with retail industry leaders shaping the future of commerce.Previous episode: Simeon Siegel (Guggenheim Securities) on the consumer spending paradox, 2026 stock picks, and why NPS should be banned from boardrooms.Connect: Follow Ken Pilot Ventures on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.Learn More: Visit Rhone.com for the 12 Pursuits mental fitness framework and free wall calendar.Hosted on Ausha.

This is not a regular episode. It's Panel 3 of the Retail Collective Winter 2026 Summit, a live session featuring CEOs, founders, and leaders who are actively shaping the future of retail. In this conversation, executives from Demer Box, Nature's Fusions, Rhone, Stance, Mixhers, Lion Energy, Nielsen, and Spreetail unpack one of the most defining tensions for emerging brands today: Should you chase the low‑hanging fruit that keeps the business alive, or invest in true omnichannel mastery that builds long‑term advantage? Panel 3 delivers a candid, tactical, and deeply grounded look at how CEOs and founders grow without breaking—and how they choose what matters right now versus what builds the brand they want to become.  

For today's episode, you may want to watch on YouTube because it will be very visual as we walk through the amazing products of VinGardeValise with CEO, Brooke Kochman.

In 2026, the term direct-to-consumer, or DTC, has become somewhat of a pejorative within the retail startups ecosystem. Enter: “DTC 3.0,” or what's dubbed as the most sustainable and profitable version of the model to date. The term was popularized last year after an X post by Cody Plofker, the CEO of Jones Road Beauty, though a debate has emerged on what the phrase entails. On this week's episode of the Modern Retail Podcast, senior reporter Gabriela Barkho is joined by two veterans of the DTC landscape who started their brands in the 2010s. Nate Checketts, co-founder and CEO of Rhone, and Melissa Mash, co-founder and CEO of Dagne Dover, argue that the term DTC, in and of itself, is antiquated. The two also weigh the pros and cons of being an early player in the "DTC boom," and their approaches to raising venture capital and building more sustainable brands. This week's episode discusses: How do founders characterize the different phases of DTC? A look back at being part of the DTC 1.0 wave, then navigating the next two phases amid increased challenges.  How events like the Covid-19 pandemic and tariffs helped shape the DTC channel. Building an enduring brand through a slower, more sustainable growth model. 

Continuing their exploration of the "recipe" for leadership, Jim and Lawrence discuss how a structured methodology—much like the scientific method—is essential for garnering respect for the recovery process and providing a framework for constant improvement.

Join Jim Hajny, Executive Director for Montana's Peer Network, for an inspiring episode of the Recovery Talks podcast, a show dedicated to the core belief that recovery is possible, it works, and it is a journey toward freedom and peace. In this episode, Jim sits down with his close friend and Montana leader, Lawrence Rhone, to explore the profound connection between recovery and leadership. Lawrence and Jim dive deep into what they call the "recipe" for leadership, drawing from Lawrence's diverse life experiences—from growing up in the projects of Fayetteville, North Carolina, to his 17-year-old entry into military service. They discuss how leadership is not just a title but a set of attributes forged through discipline and mentorship.

Long before we consciously think about it, we're already making choices. How much to push. When to stay quiet. What feels possible — and what feels off-limits. Most of those decisions aren't random. They're guided by beliefs we've been carrying for years, often without realizing where they came from.This episode of That Greenwich Life is an invitation to slow down and examine those beliefs — especially the ones LIMITING us. So many of the limits we accept as “just the way things are” aren't rooted in truth at all. They're inherited, learned, and reinforced until they feel immovable. But they don't have to be.My guest, Sarah Sadie Newett, is the founder of SSN, an award-winning movement practice studio in Westport that has built a deeply devoted community of people who return week after week — not just for physical results, but for transformation. She has decades of professional experience as a dancer and aerialist and has performed alongside artists including Lady Gaga, The Roots, and Lil' Kim. She has collaborated with major wellness and fashion brands such as Max Mara, Alo Yoga, Rhone, and Beyond Yoga. Through movement and her own journey of sobriety, Sarah helps people challenge long-held assumptions about their bodies and abilities, creating space for confidence, trust, and possibility. Whether working with athletes, creatives, mothers, or high-performing professionals, her clients consistently leave feeling capable of far more than they imagined.This episode is about more than physical flexibility or strength. It's about what becomes possible when beliefs change — not just in thought, but in practice. Because when your beliefs evolve, the way you move through your life evolves with them.Thank You to Our Sponsors: • RMA of New York — our Season 2 Presenting Sponsor and leading fertility care provider • Jack Rabbits Gymnastics and Soccer Club — a beloved children's movement and enrichment space helping kids build confidence, coordination, and joy through play • Room for Paws Pet Resort — a trusted, full-service pet resort providing exceptional care and peace of mind for families and their furry family membersLet's Connect!If this episode inspired you, please follow, rate, and review That Greenwich Life so more women can find these conversations.

Its' syrah-o'clock somewhere and the Wine Thieves are back to unlock the secrets of the northern Rhone's largest appellation where syrah takes many shapes: Crozes-Hermitage. But it's really a tale of two crozes, two very distinct parts. There's what growers refer to as the northern half of Crozes-Hermitage to the north of the imposing hill of Hermitage itself – where it is narrower, cooler, and higher, with steep granitic slopes. That hard magmatic stone in all its glory makes for striking syrah. In the south, it is windier, flatter, drier, and warmer, with decidedly more Mediterranean influence, and alluvial, stone-covered plains where much of the appellation's volume originates, featuring mainly compelling, fruit-forward styles of syrah. Joining us from Tain-l'Hermitage, our guests Daphné Chave and David Combier  are part of the rising ‘new generation' of younger wine producers in the region, carrying forward the legacy of their parents. Daphné is the next generation at the helm of her family's Domaine Yann Chave. She recently earned a degree in winemaking and has worked at some of the wolds great wineries, and is now exploring new directions as she gradually takes more control of the estate. David is a fourth-generation organic farmer and co-owner of Domaine Combier, pioneers of organic viticulture in Crozes-Hermitage since the 1970s. The Domaine spans 60 hectares, with the majority in the Crozes-Hermitage AOC, covering the full spectrum of the appellation from the exposed granite soils in the north to the clay-limestone vineyards of the south.We'll discuss how their experiences abroad have influenced their winemaking, how the variety of syrah reflects its terroir in its wine, recent challenges affecting the variety in the northern Rhone and of course, a word on the whites – Marsanne and roussane of the appellation and its rising demand among other topics in this Wine Thieves reboot episode! Join us with a glass of Crozes Hermitage (search winealign.com for our top picks from the region) and follow along.  This episode was made with the support of Interprofessionnellede l'Appellation Crozes-Hermitage.
