Michael Edwards, World of Fine Wine magazine (UK):
"A persuasive new voice."
"The work has matured impressively in its enlarged coverage; for Tyson's accurate, precise tastings of current vintages; the general fluency and infectiousness of his prose; above all, for several penetrating insights into the world of contemporary Champagne, which sets him apart as the new kid on the block with a very bright future."
"What gladdens the heart is Stelzer's literary skill in creating word-pictures of the personalities and foibles of these creative men and women, the better to understand their wines. Like all good books, when you put this one down, you feel you know the players personally in all their Champenois resilience, variety and valor."
