In this episode of the Vint Podcast, Brady Weller and Billy Galanko chat with Peter Liem, the foremost commentator on the wines of Champagne, and author of the book "Champagne: The Essential Guide to the Wines, Producers, and Terroirs of the Iconic Region". We delved into a wide range of topics related to Champagne, including the concept of terroir and how it manifests in the wines of the region, the similarities and differences between Champagne and Burgundy, and the rise of grower Champagne, including what sets their approach apart from the big houses.

We also hear about his main project, the Champagne Guide, which is an online publication that provides in-depth information on the wines and terroirs of the region. Peter also hosts La Fête du Champagne, one of the world’s largest and most prominent champagne events, which takes place every year in New York City. We hope you learn something new in this episode with Peter - he has a wealth of knowledge that we were excited to share with our listeners!
