Good Burgundy Wines from Rondon & Co on the Avenue Eddy VII

I’ve posted before on Frenchtown’s leading French vintner (and Free French hero in World War Two at a time when most Shanghai French lined up with Vichy pretty quickly) Roderick Egal (here,  here and here) but he wasn’t alone in selling French booze. L. Rondon, based on the Avenue Edward VII (the French side of old Yanan Road), also dealt in fine wines and spirits from the old country in the 1930s.
