Today we delve into the life and legacy of Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the first democratically elected woman president in the world. From her early passion for languages and theater to her pivotal role in the Icelandic women's movement of the 1970s, we explore how Vigdís shattered barriers and became an influential global leader. Serving four terms as Iceland's president, she championed environmental activism, cultural preservation, and women's education.
Next, we uncover the extraordinary life of Madame Barbe-Nicole Clicquot, the French aristocrat and visionary businesswoman who revolutionized the world of sparkling wine and put Champagne on the global map. From her privileged upbringing to surviving the French Revolution, we trace the remarkable journey that led to her becoming the world-renowned Veuve Clicquot. Join us as we celebrate her resilience, her ingenious Remuage method, and her lasting impact on the world of Champagne.
A toast to the unstoppable pioneer of Champagne!
