Renowned wine writer and champagne specialist Tyson Stelzer joins us in this opening episode of Season 20.
Late in 2024, Tyson released the seventh edition of The Champagne Guide, which is 50 per cent bigger than the previous edition, featuring a record 1260 reviews spread across 880 pages adorned with Tyson’s beautiful photographs.
The guide features a Hall of Honour ranking the best producers and the best champagnes of the year in all price points, as well as the best blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs and rosé champagnes.
It's the world's most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to champagne, featuring the latest, freshest releases, all tasted recently by Tyson.
And while champagne prices have really shot up in recent years, you’ll hear why Tyson believes champagne still offers far superior value when considered alongside the world’s other leading fine wine appellations.
This interview was recorded late last year, so apologies for the delay in sharing it with you, but I think it’s a very worthy episode to officially kick off the podcast for 2025.
