Written by Robert Walters who imports a lot of great wine to Australia. This includes some of the best Grower Producers (small producers) from Champagne. This is part history lesson, part travel adventure story and wholly entertaining to read. It reminds me of Kermit Lynch’s ‘Adventures On The Wine Route‘ with an Australian accent.
The rise and rise of a group of artisan producers over the last twenty years has challenged everything we thought we knew about this famous region. In Bursting Bubbles, Robert Walters takes us on a journey to visit these great growers. Along the way, he reveals a secret history of Champagne and dispels many of the myths that still persist about this celebrated wine style. Controversial and groundbreaking, Bursting Bubbles will change the way you think about Champagne. Hardcover, 240 pages.
“… the most refreshing, pretension-pricking, myth-busting and amusingly unfrothy book on the subject I’ve read.” ANDREW JEFFORD
“In the tradition of Kermit Lynch’s Adventures on the Wine Route, Bursting Bubbles is a wonderful and informed exploration of the best grower Champagnes and the characters who make them. It shatters old myths and reveals new truths, making Champagne – the place and the wine – as intriguing, beautiful and magical as ever.” ANDREA FROST
“The most engaging book about leading Champagne growers I’ve read, full of insight and detail.” ANDREW JEFFORD

Let’s not muck around either! Straight to the top shelf. Champagne, Sparkling wine, and three courses (plus canapes). I’m excited to be teaming up with Dakota for the first time, the menu they have prepared is going to elevate these wines to a new level.
