This week, one of the most famous wine producers in the world joins us -- Gaia Gaja from Gaja in Barbaresco in Piedmont, Italy. We discuss the history of her famed family, why their wines are like liquid velvet, and how climate change is forcing new ways of thinking.

Her philosophy, outlook, and class show why Gaja has earned its place at the top of the wine world.

We discuss:

• The history of the Gaja family and how they became so important in Barbaresco
  
  
• We discuss Angelo Gaja, his philosophies and how he wound up changing the face of Italian wine by doubting everything, and always looking forward
  
  
• Gaia gives us some insight into how Gaja does things so differently and yield such different, and amazing results\\xa0
  
  
• We talk about Barbaresco and Barolo, the nuances of the land, and how those in Piedmont may be best suited to take on climate change. Gaia tells us a bit about Gaja\'s philosophy of optimism and change helps them take a different outlook on climate change and why biodiversity may be the key to helping things
