Oh boy, I love how you compared the tales in the book to various types of champagnes. I can't say that I know much about champagne, but I'll definitely savor this one! Thanks for the lovely review.

I love the wine references in this review. It sounds like a very eclectic but interesting group of stories. Great review!

What a bubbly review! You seem to have downed a few, LOL!

I do not drink and know nothing about alcohol, but you have definitely given me the craving to take a sip of this champagne.

This is brilliant!

Really clever use of words there. I wouldn't have picked this up for myself, but this sounds like it's worth a shot.

🤫 You say that loud... I just tried the sommelier method, only this job requires practice to get it right.

Thanks for stopping by, Miriam!

A collection of short stories revolving around champagne sounds original. I like the comparison of the stories to different flavors of wines. A unique scenario, spectacular characters, and compelling tales make a good read. That it was well edited is another plus. Not for me, but I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the review!

This is an amazing collection of fictional short stories all having some obscure connection to Champagne. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has a unique OnlineBookClub review. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars. Congrats @rnrwineschool on the BOTD selection.

What a lovely review! Although I am not a big champagne drinker, I do love a bottle of red! It sounds like it would be entertaining and possibly with a drink in hand! It sounds like the writing was impeccable other than those minor errors. Thanks for the wonderful review!

The first two paragraphs explain what the book is but the next ones do not work like that. Detailed or not about the tales, do not make me imagine what are those about.

I have no interest in alcoholic drinks, but I admire the author's creativity in weaving a fictional story around the legendary champagne. Thanks for your beautiful review.

This is such a unique book. Telling stories with the mind and vocabulary of a sommelier sounds interesting. I'm not very well-versed in the intricacies of champagne, so I feel a lot of the nuance would be lost on me.

A very clever review. Well written. I liked how the first paragraph seemed like reading an excerpt from the book.

I have not read any book that has ten plots before. Yes! The Champagne Tales by Michael Amon is going to be my first. The title of the book is so intriguing. Thanks for free copy of the book. I will add it to my to read list. Great review.
