There are some brands of Champagnes that are very familiar to consumers and connoisseurs alike; Laurent-Perrier. Is certainly one of those. Situated in the town of Tours-sur-Marne, a bit west of Epernay, the house recently celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2012. But the wine again tasted out beautifully. Th...

The Latest and Greatest from Champagne - Part One. I'm working on a book on Champagne and believe me, I can't really call this work! While some think of this category in modest terms, I enjoy these wines and tasted several that were a notch or two above most of their competition. These included Bereche. A superb grower firm in Ludes, Palmer.

Views on wines from Italy, California, Chile, Argentina and other great regions of the world from a freelance writer and photographer. Monday, October 20, 2014. Inspired Words about Champagne. Let's begin with the tasting notes, which are among the finest I've ever read on Champagne. Stelzer's words perfectly sum up the distinctiveness that is at the heart of any special cuvée and he writes in such a way to thrill our senses, yet never does he talk down to the reader or write in a snobbish tone.

Views on wines from Italy, California, Chile, Argentina and other great regions of the world from a freelance writer and photographer. Friday, June 12, 2015. A Singular History of Wine. Wine books are as popular as ever, but when it comes to books about the history of wine, that's a different story. That's not a surprise, given that most readers would rather learn about new wines and trends as opposed to winemaking practices from decades and centuries ago. Clarke also discusses "International Consultants...
