...while visiting one of Moët & Chandon's vineyards near Epernay. And in the fall, when vendange is underway and you can watch as the grapes are harvested by hand, it can be cool indeed. But it's the weather, along with the area's chalky, bone-white soil, that helps this region of France produce the best of bubbly. Two days should suffice for an even-paced visit that includes the essential comforts (great food and lodging) and exciting champagne. Experience the Grande Marques - the Clicquots, Moëts and others that make world-class, world-famous wines...

It's too late for the muscle-bound blockbusters, too early for Christmas piety but just the right time for filmmakers' innovation and impudence. Here are four films that are trespassing on virgin soil...
...peer deeply into the soul of the region, you must visit the independent producers, makers of the so-called grower champagnes. Such vignerons carry on a love affair with their land, often treating the soil and environment with reverential respect. It shows in their complex wines. If you call for an appointment, they will receive you with grace. Some of those I visited and adored were Camille Saves in Bouzy, Jacquesson in Dizy, Larmandier-Bernier in Vertus and Leclerc Briant in Epernay...
