LAPD Distributors French Champagne, Wine and Spirits Trade Show at Grub & Vine, The Norval Foundation

Dane Raath is a wine and other beverages negociant. He and his mother Kathy Raath have a very successful business. He invited us to something different, the LAPD trade tasting of many different French wines, well known and respected French brands who want to enter the South African market. It was quite a tasting and extremely well attended by the trade so there was a very good buzz on the Norval Foundation terrace as we all compared notes and recommendations. We began with Laurent Perrier Champagnes and tasted and enjoyed the range. Read on….
