MUMBAI:
This month's ART OF LIFE experiences the best in fine food and drink.
First stop is the House of Krug in Reims, France, to find out what
makes this champagne so prestigious and highly prized. While traditional
rivals like Cristal are attracting the hip-hop crowd, Krug remains
loyal to a certain class of clientele. ART OF LIFE speaks to Olivier
Krug about the family's champagne heritage and finds out how they
maintain their cachet amid surging demand for bubbles.
 CNN's
Jenny Harrison gives chocolate another think. From its discovery
more than 3,000 years ago to the present day the cocoa bean has
been a highly prized commodity. Recently, chocoholics have developed
a taste for high-quality cocoa beans and so-called single-estate
vintage chocolates. In Europe, the Valrhona name stands out among
chocolatiers as the ultimate in chocolate cachet. Art Of Life takes
a trip to their chocolate making facilities in the Rhone Valley
and experiences every chocoholic's dream as a fine chocolate taster.
 The
black Perigord truffle is so valuable and so rare that it's earned
the nickname, 'The Black Diamond'. ART OF LIFE follows its journey
from the earth to the plate with premier truffle restaurateur Clement
Bruno. The program also examines why this small part of the gourmet
food industry remains so shrouded in secrecy.
