In today’s culture show, our guest Olivier Magny is part of a new generation in the world of wine. He founded 'O Chateau', a wine-tasting venue in Paris.

We then go to San Fransisco, where Marcus Books, the oldest African-American bookshop in United States, is facing a serious financial crisis.

I love Olivier !! I'm in New York, but I watch the French news because I love France and Paris.
I was so impressed with Olivier's clever insights that I went to his site after the broadcast and
was so touched by the blog, especially Ile Ste. Louis. Tears ran down my face as I read Oliviers
description and interactions with others who commented. I have to return soon. My heart is there.
