He's joined by Wine Spectator's lead taster for Champagne, senior editor Alison Napjus, and a wide-ranging lineup of sparkling wine stars headlined by Roederer's Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, maker of Cristal.  We’re also joined by grower Champagne star Alexandre Chartogne, and we talk business with the importer of Bollinger Champagne. Plus, our regular appointment with Dr. Vinny.
