On the evening of the 18th September, Louis Roederer and sponsors Marchis Mazzei, Pio Cesare, Ramos Pinto, Domaines Ott* and Domaine Faiveley welcomed their guests to the stunning Royal Academy of Arts to announce the winners of the 2019 competition.
I was also so glad to catch up with so many talented wine ladies!
