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.
