Tyson Stelzer

I’m frequently asked why I write more about champagne than anything else. It goes without saying that I love the wine, the place and its people. I am thrilled by the challenge of unravelling what is probably the most complex wine style in the world, and I love the chase of discovering the real story behind the wines of its most guarded brands.
