This is the story of French champagne, but it didn't start amid the splendor of a countryside chateau. Its origins were a more modest little luxury: the aisles of a well-stocked wine shop. It was a remarkably simple way to have begun an obsession with the history of one of the world's great wines--and one of the world's great women. As much as we associate champagne with celebration and the good lie, I should also tell you that, for me, it was a passion that began without fanfare in a small town in the American Midwest, where I was trying to weather what turned out to be the last months of a less than glamorous job.
