In this week's episode, sommelier Erin shares the captivating story of Dom Perignon, the man behind one of the world's most famous luxury champagnes. Learn about his early life, his journey to becoming a Benedictine monk, and his significant contributions to the world of winemaking, including blending grape varieties and using cork stoppers. While Dom Perignon didn't intend to create sparkling wine, his high-quality still wines led to the accidental discovery of the bubbles we now adore. Join Erin as she toasts the fascinating history and lasting legacy of Dom Perignon.
