When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

Ep 95
Are you ready to uncover why the Piedmont region of Italy, often overshadowed by the famed Tuscan hills, is a hidden gem in the wine world?
Would it surprise you to learn that there are many similarities between the famed Burgundy region and the Piedmont region?
Today, I’m diving into the intricate geography of Piedmont and rich history that makes it such a unique wine region. I share the red wines you have probably heard of such as Barbera, Dolcetto, and the famed Nebbiolo grape, as well as lesser known indigenous varieties like Freisa and Ruché. I’m also digging into the similarities and differences between Barolo and Barbareso. And we can’t skip the white wines! I share about Gavi and Moscato d’Asti. And finally, you simply cannot drink Italian wine without food! So, I touch on the region’s French influences that create a truly unique culinary experience.
If you are ready to understand the nuanced differences between Barolo and Barbaresco and learn about the amazing Italian wine beyond the familiar Tuscan landscape then this episode is for you!

When it comes to wine books, which ones are essential for every wine lover’s collection? Well, if you know anything about me, you know I’m a sucker for a good wine book. A wine book is how I actually ended up getting into wine in the first place! Before I was really enthralled by the world of wine, my husband and I took a trip down to Willamette Valley. The tour guide gave us an amazing tour of Archery Summit and recommended this book called Cork Dork for me to read. After reading Cork Dork, it led to a deep dive into countless wine books that have since become cornerstones of my collection. Today, I’m sharing my top 13 wine book recommendations and I’ve grouped them into 4 categories: reference books, personal essays/novel-esque, food pairing guides, and others. Whether it’s deepening your wine knowledge, learning new food and wine pairings, or a thrilling fiction book, there is a book here for everyone! So, if you are ready to dive into the world of wine through the pages of expertly curated books, press play and listen in!
