Welcome to my website and to my world of champagne. I’m delighted to have you as my guest. Here I hope you will discover the spirit of champagne - its lively, playful, beguiling, magnificent spirit that has been at the heart of my life’s work.
There is much to enjoy – and especially champagne as a versatile food wine. The delights of matching food and champagne are accessible to everyone. Please join me at my champagne dinners or come along to one of the many classes I conduct through the year for a memorable experience.
Champagne & Chandeliers: Grand Dining Occasions celebrates the many things I love about champagne in stories, dinners and tastings. It took me five years to research and write, but it’s really been writing itself for twenty-five years. That’s how long champagne has been my career.
I am fortunate to have found the subject that inspires me. I hope you let me inspire you, in turn.
With joyous and abundant bubbles
Bernadette
