Welcome to The Kosher Terroir, your passport to the stories, traditions, and tastes of kosher wine from around the globe. I’m Simon Jacob, and whether you’re a seasoned sommelier, a passionate wine enthusiast, or simply someone looking to add a little sparkle to their day, you’ve arrived at the perfect place.

Today, we’re taking a deep dive into the effervescent, celebratory world of Champagne and sparkling wines. This episode promises to pop with fascinating stories, deep insights, and of course, plenty of bubbly inspiration.

Have you ever wondered how those delicate bubbles are made, or what it is that makes Champagne so special? From the meticulous artistry of the Méthode Champenoise to the rustic charm of Méthode Ancestrale, today we’ll explore the processes that make Champagne—and its sparkling cousins—so remarkable. Along the way, you’ll hear stories about legendary bottles like the 1928 Krug, Madame Clicquot’s game-changing innovation, and how Champagne cellars became hiding places for both treasures and people during World War II.

We’ll delve into some of the finest kosher sparkling wines, like the elegant Jeeper Rosé, the versatile Herzog California Champagne, and Israel’s own Yarden Blanc de Blancs. Whether it’s a bottle of bubbly from Drappier, Laurent-Perrier, or Baron Herzog, these wines prove that kosher bubbles are every bit as refined and complex as their non-kosher counterparts.

If this is your first time joining The Kosher Terroir, welcome! Stick around to discover why wine isn’t just a drink, but a story that connects culture, history, and flavor. And for my loyal listeners, thank you for being part of our growing community. Be sure to check out our past episodes—there’s a cellar full of amazing conversations and deep dives waiting for you.

So grab your favorite glass, whether it’s a classic flute, a coupe, or a simple wine glass, and join me as we uncork the world of Champagne. Get ready to toast to tradition, innovation, and all the little celebrations that make life special. This is The Kosher Terroir, and I’m thrilled to have you along for this sparkling journey.
