Chris Christensen

We chat with Chris Christensen, Head Honcho & Winesmith of Bodkin Wines, creators of America's First Sparkling Sauvignon Blanc. Amanda Laden travels with Chris down memory lane to cornfields as far as the eye can see in their great home state of Iowa, home of the Iowa State Fair and the famous butter cow!

Chris talks to us about what it's like being a minority in one of the oldest industries in the world, the business value of diversity, equity, inclusion and representation, the changing world in the wake of George Floyd's death, and the importance of being environmentally conscious winemakers and wine drinkers.
