It’s always meaningful to see the ideas behind my work reflected and interpreted in thoughtful editorial coverage, particularly around a subject as deeply layered, and often misunderstood, as champagne.
At the heart of Celebrating Champagne is a simple idea: champagne does not need to be reserved for rare or formal occasions.
The feature captures this shift beautifully, highlighting a more contemporary way of thinking about champagne, one that brings it into everyday life, rather than placing it beyond reach.
For me, champagne has always been about presence as much as celebration. It is a ritual that belongs not only to milestones, but to quiet moments, shared meals, and the rhythm of daily living.
Celebrating Champagne: A Wine for All Seasons is structured around the natural progression of the year, pairing champagne styles with seasonal food and intuitive entertaining.
Rather than treating champagne as something separate from the table, the book places it directly within it, alongside recipes, hosting ideas, and approachable guidance on pairing and serving.
It is both a champagne book and a practical companion for those who enjoy cooking, entertaining, and creating atmosphere at home.
One of the themes explored in the article is the idea of modern champagne etiquette.
For me, etiquette is not about rules for their own sake, but about ease, understanding how to serve champagne well, how to choose glassware that enhances the experience, and how to create a sense of occasion without effort or formality.
It is about confidence, not performance.
