In this episode, I tell you the story of Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin, the young widow behind the yellow label of Veuve Clicquot. At 27, with a failing business and everyone telling her to give up, she made a different choice. I take you through the cellars of Reims and the life of a woman who built an empire and kept her widow's name as her signature.
