Review:
Is there anything more elegant or romantic than a quiet table for two, soft music, and a bottle of fine champagne? Champagne is written in celebration of just such occasions. Filled with lush photographs and creative recipes, this volume takes us on a tour of the Champagne region of France and the cool green vineyards of California, offering a magnum of fascinating facts about the history and production of champagne and sparkling wines. We're also treated to reflections on the contributions champagne has made to culture: poetry and literary essays are woven throughout the book. Champagne: The Spirit of Celebration is a rare treasure for champagne lovers.
