Monika Jakicevich, our Matriarch and Family Treasure, turns 90 this month. As we’re looking at women in wine, we thought it only appropriate that we kick things off with a few words from the woman herself, back in the day a driver of tractors, runner of shops and wrangler of children. She may be about to crack 90, but be warned: you still need to keep your wits about you when in her presence! We then go on to look at the Argentinean region of Mendoza, local hot spot Hawkes Bay, Champagne legends Philipponnat, Summer Rose 2021 style, Aromatics, hot deals of Chardonnay, new wine releases, Cocktails made easily at home, Tesseron Cognac, Change Maker Beer and finally gifts for Valentine's Day.
