What is it liked to be hand-picked by Kermit Lynch himself from a small wine retail store in St. Louis and sent to live in Beaune, France to run his French office? Then to marry into one of the world’s most iconic winemaking families and live in Tain L’Hermitage? Today we speak with Erin Cannon Chave about that journey. We also discuss the cultural differences between living in France and the US, the importance of moving our bodies, and the experience of being a woman in the wine business for over 20 years. We chat about homeopathic care for her family and for the vines, as well how she tackles grief amidst an inordinate amount of personal loss in her life. Erin is also Liz’s BFF from when they lived together in Beaune in the 90s, and we get to hear some of their happy and hilarious memories.
