Hi, boys and girls are all fired up.

Boys and girls are all right up.

Whole world's shaking, baby, and we're all right up.

Hi, everyone, you are listening to Radio Cherry Bomb, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond, coming to you from Rockefeller Center and the heart of New York City. Each week, we talk to the coolest culinary personalities around, the folks shaping and shaking up the food scene. Today's guest is Victoria James, one of the most important voices in the world of wine, in my humble opinion.

Victoria became the youngest sommelier in the U.S. at the age of 21, and she's the author of a brilliant and often harrowing memoir titled Wine Girl.

I highly recommend you pick up a copy. Victoria is an amazing human being, and I am honored to speak with her.

We talk about her book, her upcoming project with Lennox, being a new mom, her role at the

Coat Restaurant Group in New York and Miami, and her role in the wine world's Me Too movement.

Stay tuned for our chat.

Today's show is sponsored by Luke's Lobster and American Unagi.

If you think sustainable seafood is important, definitely listen up.

Luke's Lobster, along with the Island Institute of Maine,

has partnered with American Unagi to sell their locally sourced,

responsibly raised, smoked eel on Luke's online market.

This part is very interesting. American Unagi

is led by Sarah Radamaker, the founder and CEO of the country's only glass eel farm, which

she started after learning there wasn't a single eel growing facility within the U.S.

Before American Unagi, glass eels consumed in the U.S. were caught locally, flown internationally

to be raised, and then flown back to the U.S. makes no sense, right? Sarah, Luke's Lobster, and the

Island Institute are working hard to support Maine's coastal communities and the fishermen and

women based there. As someone who loves seafood and the beautiful state of Maine and visits there every summer,

that's important to me too.
