Reviews
"A fascinating portrait of an audacious French wine merchant during his travels around mid-19th-century America."--Moira Hodgson, Wall Street Journal, "From raging success to humiliating scandal, from creating international thirst to losing all in the jaws of a harrowing Civil War, Champagne Charlie is a true original--and with effervescent prose and connoisseurs' savvy, our guides don't miss a moment. As much a history of the maturation of American taste as of self-promoting European sophistication, this entertaining story will have you gently popping a cork in no time! Cheers!"--Joseph Spellman, named world's best sommelier in French Wine and Spirits competition, 1997, " Champagne Charlie is a fascinating, fast-moving narrative of Heidsieck's remarkable story and the tumultuous times in which he lived."--Lesley J. Gordon, Civil War historian and Charles G. Summersell Chair of Southern History at the University of Alabama, "Like an effervescent de Tocqueville, Heidsieck is a keen observer of all things American. This is U.S. history paired with a primer on champagne. We learn that George Washington employed a wine advisor, that America was once lousy with counterfeit champagne and that, for a while, cotton was an acceptable currency for purchasing bubbly. Deeply researched, elegantly written, Champagne Charlie goes down as smooth as a glass of Heidsieck's finest. Here is a book worth savoring--and celebrating."--Eric Weiner, author of the New York Times best-seller The Geography of Bliss, "Like an effervescent de Tocqueville, Heidsieck himself was a keen observer of all things American. Champagne Charlie is U.S. history paired with a primer on champagne. We learn that George Washington employed a wine advisor, that America was once lousy with counterfeit champagne and that, for a while, cotton was an acceptable currency for purchasing bubbly. Deeply researched, elegantly written, Champagne Charlie goes down as smooth as a glass of Heidsieck's finest. Here is a book worth savoring--and celebrating."--Eric Weiner, author of the New York Times best-seller The Geography of Bliss, "The Kladstrups weave a wonderful narrative, rich in history both well-known and obscure."--Eric Annino, terroirist.com, "Don and Petie Kladstrup offer not only a fascinating portrait of the 19th-century founder of the Charles Heidsieck Champagne house but an evocative sketch of America and the wine business around the time of the Civil War."--Eric Asimov, New York Times, "A high-spirited romp through the world of French champagne and antebellum America, chronicling the exploits of wine-merchant sensation Charles 'Champagne Charlie' Heidsieck. Don and Petie Kladstrup are storytellers with a keen eye for a good yarn and with an even keener appreciation of the rich history of the world's favorite beverage."--Tilar J. Mazzeo, author of The Widow Clicquot: The Story of a Champagne Empire and the Woman Who Ruled It, "Like an effervescent de Tocqueville, Heidsieck himself was a keen observer of all things American. Champagne Charlie is U.S. history paired with a primer on champagne. We learn that George Washington employed a wine advisor, that America was once lousy with counterfeit champagne, and that, for a while, cotton was an acceptable currency for purchasing bubbly. Deeply researched, elegantly written, Champagne Charlie goes down as smooth as a glass of Heidsieck's finest. Here is a book worth savoring--and celebrating."--Eric Weiner, author of the New York Times best-seller The Geography of Bliss, " Champagne Charlie is the dimensional, captivating biography narrative of a man who lived his life with vision and conviction--and who brought champagne to the US."--Amy O'Loughlin, Foreword Reviews

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
