We’re coming to you from Newman’s Own in Westport, CT, where we talk to the kid chefs who won Newman’s Own Super Snack Challenge and talk to chef Michel Nischan of Wholesome Wave about the future of farming (it’s vertical!). Plus, we sip two food-friendly $10 Napa-style wines, a Chardonnay and a Cabernet, and talk to Newman’s Own President and CEO Bob Forrester about the legacy of Paul Newman and the company’s truly unique approach to business. It’s an uplifting hour of food, wine, and friendship!
