Learn what makes champagne “champagne” and discover the unique ‘house styles’ of three iconic champagne brands: Moët & Chandon, Veuve Clicquot, and Armand de Brignac. Attendees will uncork world-famous bottles, taste three magical cuvées, and leave inspired by the rich stories of heritage and craftsmanship for the global phenomenon that is champagne.

About The Moet Hennessy Trade Engagement & Advocacy Team

The Moët Hennessy Trade Engagement & Advocacy Team is thrilled to be back in New Orleans at Latrobe’s on Royal with another opportunity to engage the local community. Latrobe’s on Royal hosted the team’s first ever portfolio event at Tales of the Cocktail (La Maison) and our partnership continues! La Maison translates from French to “house” or “home” in English and is the Advocacy Team’s trade community platform.

The session will be brought to life by the following members of the Team:

Angela Sauvé, Director of Trade Engagement

Liz Batsche, Director of Trade Advocacy

Brian Stewart, Manager II, Trade Advocacy

At 1:45 p.m., Laura Green will begin her seminar about bartender well-being. Bartending is a physically, emotionally, and mentally strenuous job that can leave us feeling chewed up and spit out. But what would it look like if it was the norm to approach our job so that we are protected from the corrosive stress of the job and instead find ourselves constantly growing? In this presentation, Laura Green will discuss the importance of developing protective factors, building resilience, and implementing coping strategies to help bartenders keep doing what they love for as long as they’d like. Attendees will leave with skills and ideas they can immediately utilize as well as ways to advocate for additional support from their workplace.
