"Those that pick up But First, Champagne . . . will be richly
rewarded . . . White never loses sight of what makes the region a
truly unique place, perhaps the only place that could give birth to
the world's most magical wine." -Tasting Panel Knowledgeable wine
enthusiasts have always revered Champagne. The region and its wines
are associated with prestige and luxury, of course, but
historically, most consumers kept champagne way back on the high
shelf, reserving it for post-bowl game blowouts, send-offs, and
wedding toasts. Over the past decade, however, an increasing number
of wine enthusiasts have discovered the joys of grower
champagne-wines made by the farmers who grow the grapes. Today,
Champagne is in the midst of a renaissance. And thanks to a few key
wine importers and the farm-to-table movement, consumers everywhere
are finally paying attention. In But First, Champagne, David White
details Champagne's history along with that of its wines, explains
how and why the market is changing, and profiles the region's
leading producers. These profiles will bring a new perspective to
the Champagne that is home to dozens of engaging, inspiring,
authentic winegrowers who today produce fantastic and affordable
products. This book is essential reading for wine enthusiasts,
adventurous drinkers, and foodies. With a comprehensive yet
accessible overview of the region, its history, and its leading
producers, But First, Champagne will demystify Champagne for all.
From the foreword: "Smart, entertaining, and valuable . . . one of
those rare wine books that should appeal to people just getting
into Champagne and longtime Champagne obsessives." -Ray Isle,
Executive Wine Editor, Food & Wine
