Chandra Kurt

And a true one-of-a-kind, Georges Stähli, water buffalo farmer in the Val-de-Travers.

They all joined me, Tom Edwards, on stage at Kaufleuten, alongside the one and only Chandra Kurt, Monocle friend, Swiss wine-writing icon, and publisher of Weinzeller Journal.

Chandra and I kicked off proceedings.

And

What I often say makes great radio is when the conversation is like a great conversation around the dinner table.

So we thought we could set up this series of chats as a meal and enjoy a few courses, pack them in quickly, 'cause I know you all want to get to the market and have more wine and food.

So the apero initially is our dear friend Chandra Kurt, of course, legendary creator of The Weinzeller Journal, long-standing friend o- of Monocle.

And Chandra, just tell me, lots of the stories that we're gonna hear about tonight are about family values, tradition, heritage, doing things properly.

Well, there's lots of cheese, lots of meat and lots of wine, as one would expect.

Chandra Kurt is editor of Wine Cellar Journal.

She joins us on the line now from Zurich.

Good morning, Chandra.
