Most memorable moment on my course was meeting like minded individuals passionate about Champagne and its Grand Marques. The farewell lunch at Les Crayeres was very special

In my chairman year I was fortunate to host Krug. Meeting the family and welcoming Remy Krug to London was most memorable.

Favourite tipple…..has to be Krug!
