My Champagne Starter List

Mar 1

Last month on Threads, I made a post on how great champagne is and there are so many that are delicious and don’t have a yellow label. I didn’t expect it to go viral. My next CHAMPAGNE 101 class is Saturday, March 28, 2026.

The beauty of champagne is in how many great champagnes exist at phenomenal price points. I always say, marketing is everything and I can’t compete with a polo match convincing people of the same. In that vain, I started a champagne starter list for that reason. Not a list of champagnes over $200 although these producers make them, but a list to start a journey. It’s not a list of grower champagnes or high end champagnes like Krug, Dom Perignon, Selosse, or Salon. Yes, there is a place, but this list is for those who want to try champagne without breaking the bank.

Cheers to drinking better. The list is in alphabetical order and not in order of my personal preference.
