Faithful to her motto — “Only one quality, the finest”— this cuvée is an homage to the pioneer who in 1810 created the first ever vintage champagne.    Crafted from an exceptional blend dominated by 90% pinot noir – the Maison’s emblematic grape variety – La Grande Dame 2018 reveals Veuve Clicquot ’s mastery in expressing the intensity and elegance of the pinot noir grape in an ideal balance. With grapes sourced from eight of the Maison’s historic grands crus vineyards, the 2018 vintage is the fruit of ideal climatic conditions and a generous harvest of perfectly ripe grapes, giving birth to a wine with distinctive character, at the same time complex and harmonious.  La Grande Dame 2018 has a singular tension, purity and finesse.  The nose reveals floral and mineral notes, subtly enhanced by aromas of white fruit, honey, almond and confit citrus fruit. On the palate, the smooth precision of the texture, remarkable freshness and persistent salinity characterize this expressive cuvée, which has significant aging potential.   Embodying the vision of Cellar Master Didier Mariotti, this new release fully expresses the exacting precision and oenological excellence that are the signature of Veuve Clicquot grandes cuvees. A celebration of the Maison’s terroir and unique style, La Grande Dame 2018 embodies the solar elegance and pioneering spirit that have defined Veuve Clicquot for more than two centuries.  In conjunction with the launch of La Grande Dame 2018, Veuve Clicquot has also unveiled a new visual identity. The design celebrates the Maison’s iconic yellow, an evolution that marks a significant milestone for La Grande Dame, introducing an identity designed to grace each new vintage in years to come.   ML Staff.

FC Barcelona announced that it is relocating its commercial operations from New York City to downtown Miami, solidifying its commitment to growth in North America and deeper connection with Latin America. The move comes with support from a business incentive grant awarded by the Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA). “The city of Miami has become a hub for soccer in the United States, and for us it makes sense to establish our commercial operations in one of the key markets for the Club's business,” said Joan Laporta, President of FC Barcelona. “We look forward to exploring all the synergies that can be established to provide the best Barça experiences to our fans throughout America.” Through a new partnership with the Miami DDA, FC Barcelona will open a dedicated business space in downtown Miami. This location will manage the Club’s regional assets, explore investment opportunities, and deliver new experiences to the Barça community across the continent. “From youth leagues to diehard fans, look around Miami and it’s clear we are a city that loves soccer,” said Christina Crespi, CEO and Executive Director of the Miami DDA. “Bringing a globally recognized club like FC Barcelona to downtown is a testament to our district’s vibrant business environment. This move strengthens our identity as a premier destination for global sports and brings new energy and jobs to our urban core.” FC Barcelona has a long-standing connection with the U.S., dating back to 1937. Today, the Club operates multiple Barça Academies and programs across the country, engaging thousands of young players and fans through camps, events, and official supporter groups. The Miami DDA’s incentive program has awarded over $820,000 to new businesses in the district in the past year, fueling economic growth and attracting top international brands like FC Barcelona.

On view from April 8-13 at the Palazzo Citterio, the exhibition paid tribute to the everyday object, reimagining the vessel’s sculptural form.  Each artist had taken a unique approach, drawing on the rich variety of tea making cultures around the world. Some expressed a formal rigor through sober materials, like David Chipperfield's cobalt blue design, adorned with a copper handle. Meanwhile, Rose Wylie’s vessel took inspiration from British Royal Albert china tea sets, with an exaggerated lid and fluted detailing, and Jane Yang-D’Haene wrapped her piece with frayed ribbons of clay. Japan figured prominently in the collection with Akio Niisato's perforated teapot and Takayuki Sakiyama's upward swirling lines. Shozo Michikawa and Simone Fattal topped their teapots with woven leather handles, marrying precision and craft. Lu Bin and Madoda Fani had chosen to leave their teapots unglazed, porous, and vibrant to allow the flavors of the tea to seep into the clay. Accompanying the collection, LOEWE unveiled a capsule of exclusive pieces, including woven leather coasters, botanical charms, Galician clay teapots with silver or gold glazes, and an Earl Grey candle in a terracotta vessel brush-painted with real gold. In collaboration with Japanese master artisans Kaikado, LOEWE also presented 'chazutsu' tin-plated tea caddies, embellished with brass and leather motifs.    In addition, LOEWE introduced Fiori e Sapori, a signature tea blend created in collaboration with Postcard Teas, a celebration of the arrival of spring with notes of verbena, chamomile, bergamot, and roses. The blend had been available since April 7 at the LOEWE store in London and online. ML Staff. Content/images courtesy of LVMH

The skating scene in Miami just got a major upgrade—Brazil’s youngest Olympic medalist, Rayssa Leal , is in town for the latest stop on the Street League Skateboarding (SLS) tour. And if her track record is any hint, fans are in for a treat. BS Tail, Photo/Justin Crawford Rayssa, now a teen sensation, first captured hearts at just seven years old  when a video of her landing a heel flip in a fairy costume went viral. “Fadinha” (“Little Fairy”), as she’s lovingly known, didn’t just become a viral moment—she became a movement. Interview by Markin Abras “I try to go into all SLS competitions the same way—just stay calm, have fun, and do my best to land my tricks,” she says. “I don’t put too much pressure on myself. I love skating, and when I’m enjoying it, that’s when I do my best.” It’s a mindset that’s clearly working. Rayssa’s list of achievements is longer than most athletes twice her age: Olympic silver in Tokyo 2020 at just 13, a bronze in Paris 2024 , three-time SLS Super Crown Champion (2022–2024) , and a World Championship win  at the 2024 World Skate Games in Rome. She even nabbed gold at the 2022 X Games. With that kind of résumé, you’d expect nerves—but Rayssa’s learned to flip pressure into fuel. SLS OKYO, Photo/Kenji Haruta “The pressure definitely gets real, especially when you're down to your last trick,” she admits. “But I kinda use that energy to hype myself up. Like, ‘Okay, now it’s time!’ The crowd helps a lot too—their support gives me confidence and reminds me I’m not alone out there.” Now in Miami, she’s soaking in a city that feels surprisingly familiar. “Yeah, I’ve been to Miami before and I love the vibe there! The weather feels a lot like Brazil—warm and sunny, which I love,” she says. “The city has a really cool energy and some great street spots to skate. I’m excited to explore more of that this time.” Bs Lip SLS SP/PM If she had a free day without competitions? It wouldn’t be complicated. “I’d go skate some local street spots, maybe check out some sneaker shops and grab good food. Just chill, skate, and explore the city a little—those are the best kinds of days.” For someone who’s been skating competitively across continents, Rayssa’s got a keen eye for differences in scene and culture. “Skating in the U.S. has this huge street culture vibe—you feel it in every session. There’s always new spots, amazing parks, and a lot of people filming and creating content,” she says. “But what makes it extra special is that, no matter where I go, there’s always Brazilian fans cheering me on. They bring so much energy that it makes anywhere feel like home.” Though known globally as “Fadinha,” there’s more to Rayssa than just her skating persona. “A lot of people don’t know how much I love soccer—I play whenever I can!” she shares. “And my playlist? It’s super random. I go from trap to pop to Brazilian funk, even some mellow songs. Music always sets the mood for me, on and off the board.” Front Blunt, SLS TOKYO, Photo Kenji Haruta Video Gif//SportsTV Part of what fuels her success is community—skating with friends who push and inspire her. “I love skating with my friends from Brazil like Giovanni Vianna, Marina Gabriela and Filipe Mota—they always bring the hype,” she says. “And I really enjoy skating with Keet from the Netherlands too! We all push each other, try new tricks, and keep it fun. It’s always better when we’re laughing and landing stuff together.” And her favorite place to return to? Not some huge stadium or famous park—but a long ledge in China. “The vibe there is unreal—so many skaters from around the world, and the energy is amazing,” she says. “You can skate, meet people, and just be part of this big community. I love it.” Despite her world-class status, Rayssa is still wonderfully grounded. “I get super annoyed when I’m hungry and there’s nothing to eat,” she laughs. But what brings her real joy? “Being with people I love, doing what I love. Whether it's skating, listening to music, or just laughing with friends and family—those little moments bring me the most joy.” As the SLS competition heats up in Miami, one thing’s certain: Rayssa Leal isn’t just skating—she’s still making magic.

Founded in 2023 by Miami-based sisters Jasmine and Danielle Neveles, Uncharted Coffee Supply  is a growing brand with a clear purpose: to create high-quality coffee that centers sustainability and transparency.  Photo Credit: Uncharted Coffee Supply The Neveles sisters set out to challenge the status quo of an industry built on inequity, introducing limited-run roasts that help uplift underrepresented farming communities and promote lasting change. In just a year, the proudly Black- and women-owned brand earned a spot on Oprah’s Favorite Things  2024  list. At its core, Uncharted is about doing coffee differently. Rather than mass-producing generic blends, the brand focuses on limited-run, single-origin roasts sourced exclusively from farms practicing regenerative agriculture. These farms use eco-conscious techniques such as on-site composting, vermiculture and low-intervention growing methods that actively restore soil health and biodiversity, rather than depleting it. Recognizing the environmental impact of conventional coffee farming – including deforestation and water pollution – the sisters built Uncharted with climate action in mind, committing 1% of every sale to environmental restoration initiatives around the globe. Packaging is just as carefully considered. All bags are made from recyclable or compostable materials, with minimal waste and plastic-free shipping. From seed to sip, Uncharted strives for full transparency, and every coffee is USDA Organic and Fair Trade certified, ensuring ethical sourcing practices and fair pay for producers. Photo Credit: Uncharted Coffee Supply But sustainability is only part of the story. Jasmine and Danielle have made it their mission to elevate communities that have long been overlooked in the coffee supply chain. Uncharted works directly with smallholder farmers from historically marginalized backgrounds, building relationships rooted in trust and long-term investment. By highlighting the stories and unique flavor profiles of each farm, Uncharted makes it a priority to reinvest in local economies. Photo Credit: Uncharted Coffee Supply Drawing on their backgrounds in brand strategy and social impact, the Neveles sisters have created a business model that’s thoughtful and forward-looking – one that invites coffee drinkers to connect more deeply with what’s in their cup. Whether through curated Explorer Boxes or flexible subscriptions, Uncharted is offering a more transparent and responsible way to enjoy coffee. For more information, visit: Uncharted Coffee Supply .
