Champagne & Sparkling Wine: Grape Goddess Guides To Good Living

Panache doesn't begin to describe the sight of Catherine Fallis sabering a bottle of Champagne. She steps forward in a black evening gown sliced thigh-high, her face framed by cool black shades, her chestnut mane sweeping across her milky shoulders. She dons a pair of python-patterned opera gloves. She draws the black-handled saber, inhales, and then lifts the Champagne skyward. A few quick strokes of the blade sever the neck and cork from the bottle, and they sail serenely away.-Jonathan L. Wright, Reno Gazette-Journal, 13 April 2004Learn the basics with your very own, very straightforward grape goddess, Catherine Fallis.

I bought this book looking to expand my knowledge about my favourite drink. Instead I felt extremely ripped off as most of the 60 odd ages were less than half full of type and most comments about champagne methods or styles were trivial and lacking in detail, yet far too much detail provided on what she had drunk and with whom.Perhaps this would have been better presented as a blog or article/essay - it certainly was not worth $12.
