There are few people who have forged a unique life as aprominent voice for Champagne like my next guest, Tyson Stelzer.

Tyson is a multi-award winning wine writer, television hostand producer, author of 18 wine books, an international keynote speaker and wine show chairman and judge. His accolades are too many to list, but despite being based in Australia, he has never allowed the tyranny of distance to hold him back from travelling to Champagne many times a year as well as orchestrating events and presentations across the world.

Tyson started out as a science teacher, working as the headof science at an independent school on the Gold Coast in Queensland.

So how did a teacher become one of the world’s top Champagne identities?

In this episode, we go behind the scenes with Tyson and ask him questions never previously asked and learn how some key decisions, ambition, and a lot of hard work created a unique pathway into Champagne.
