More than 20 years after becoming study abroad roommates in Torino, Italy, Jackie sits down with Kristen Muir to revisit the semester that helped shape who they would become. They reminisce about changing roommates on instinct, bartending in Italian pubs, traveling across Europe, forming a lifelong friendship, and the unexpected glass of Barolo that ultimately set Kristen on the path toward a career in wine.
Kristen shares where that path has taken her since, from working in the Italian wine industry and traveling across the U.S. to living in Germany, exploring Europe with a young daughter, and eventually creating Caleb and Rose Wine Company in Southern California.
Along the way, Jackie and Kristen dig into courage, authenticity, gratitude, knowing what you stand for, refusing to settle, and how getting out into the world can make your problems feel smaller and your life feel so much bigger.
