review 1: Read this book while sitting on the beach and sipping a cold bottle of Clicquot. It's a fascinating historical look at the development of the champagne industry and the Veuve Clicquot brand. As many other reviewers have pointed out, It is full of supposition. That doesn't bother me too much, as it appears there isn't alot of information available about the Widow Clicquot. I learned quite a bit and it tastes even better now.
review 2: The heavy amount of research kind of shows a bit in this biography of the woman who brought us that fabulous yellow label. Nonetheless, it's a pretty interesting book. Covering the period just prior to the French Revolution all the way to the 1860s, the book gives us the woman and the development of her Champagne empire - all i... moren the evolving context of French business, cultural and political history. If you like Champagne, biographies, and history, this will likely work for you. less
