About this episode
The Episode Where we Party Poop on Champagne
Dom Pérignon’s French Wikipedia page claims he invented Champagne – but the truth is way cooler than that. The world’s best-known sparkling wine has roots in English cider-making and has a host of intrepid local widows to thank for its deliciousness, not to mention its renown.
Tune in to learn:
- How Champagne accidentally became one of the most lauded wines in the world
- Which glassware to choose and why
- What the heck Dom Pérignon actually did to give him such a reputation
Hosted by Lyon-based sommelier Caroline Fazeli & Paris-based food journalist Emily Monaco.
