Planet Wine Book Club: CHAMPAGNE!

The authors of the international bestseller Wine and War chronicle the untold dramatic history of Champagne from the 13th century through the crucibles of two world wars to the 21st century

Throughout history, waves of invaders including Franks, Visigoths, Burgundians, Merovingians, Barbarians, Alamanshave swept across the verdant region of Champagne in southern France. Yet this region, which historians say has suffered more invasions, battles, and wars than any other place on earth, is also the birthplace of the one ingredient that above all others epitomizes joy: champagne.

At this tasting, we will discuss the stories and histories told in the book while tasting the great wines from Champagne!

We're partnering with our friends Old Town Books for this event. Please visit their shop to pick up your copy of the book!
