Our marketing director Marius Kotze was in Tokyo last week to promote Leopard's Leap wines at the Wine & Gourmet JAPAN 2012 event.

This premier event for the food and beverages industries was cancelled last year due to the devastating earthquake that hit Japan, but boasted 30% increase in attendance this year. Wine & Gourmet JAPAN provides unique market access to Japan’s specialty food retailers, distributors, wine and spirits buyers and the food service industry.
