At the welcome reception, style-clad ladies and empowering leaders in the Naples community enjoyed a flavor-packed appetizer of celeriac mousseline, green apple, Parmigiano, and Ossetra caviar while sipping on Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2012, a wine to reflect the image of La Grande Dame herself, Madame Clicquot, with an aroma of jasmine, honeysuckle, and vine flowers and tasting notes of dried apricot, hazelnuts, honey, and sugar candy.
