Great Brief by True Champagne Enthusiasts

As the title indicates, this is a quick overview of champagne. The book is mainly filled with photos, but gives a good synopsis of how champagne is made. It also provides some very interesting recipes made with champagne (Champagne Poached Salmon) or to accompany champagne (Grilled Nectarines with Prosciutto). It is written by enthusiasts for someone interested in learning more about champagne (i.e. it includes basics like how to properly open a bottle and store it, as well as interesting historical facts.) If you enjoy a good glass of bubbly and would like to learn more about where champagne comes from and how to enrich your life with creative champagne ideas, this book is for you. It is worth the read.
