We are delighted to
welcome back to Singapore’s shores, our friend and lauded
Champagne expert Peter Liem, who was recently
named the winner of the highly coveted 2018 James Beard
Foundation book award for “reference, history, and
scholarship” for his groundbreaking tome covering his most
beloved wine region, simply entitled Champagne.
Peter Liem is an American wine writer, and author of ChampagneGuide.net,
an award-winning online guide to the wines and wine
producers of Champagne. Following nearly a decade in the
wine trade, he was a senior editor, critic and tasting
director for Wine & Spirits magazine, and his
writings on champagne, sherry and other wines have
appeared in publications such as The World of Fine
Wine, Decanter, The Art of Eating
and The San Francisco Chronicle. He has authored,
together with Jesús Barquín, “Sherry, Manzanilla &
Montilla”, and he hosts Sherryfest,
one of the world’s largest sherry events, together with
Rosemary Gray. He has also partnered with Daniel Johnnes
of La Paulée de New York to create La Fête du
Champagne, the largest Champagne event in the United
States. His most recent book, “Champagne”, was
published by Ten Speed Press in October of 2017: it has
been awarded the André Simon Book Award and an IACP
Book Award and, most recently, the extremely
prestigious 2018 James Beard Foundation Award.
In Peter’s own words: “Champagne has evolved
considerably over the last century. One could say that
for the past decade or so we have been living in a
golden age of Champagne, with producers both large and
small not only refining their vinification methods but
also exploring issues of viticulture and terroir
expression in exciting new ways.”
To celebrate his visit, we have lined up a few private
events and a master class centered around his beloved
beverage. We will also be offering his Champagne
book at a special price in limited quantities at these
events.
Peter’s knowledge of and passion for Champagne — the
region, the people and the wines — put him in a very
special position on the topic. Few can speak with the
authority, clarity and conviction about Champagne that
Peter possesses. We hope you will come and enjoy the
conviviality of Peter’s company and partake in his erudite
insights at these events. Please RSVP at your soonest
convenience.
See you then!
