Wine anyone?

My entire family gets together in California once and year and goes ‘Wine Tasting’.

What’s so great about that you might ask…?

Well, those who have tried it once, will tell you without hesitation – that you don’t need to know your ‘wines’ to enjoy a wine tasting event. You don’t even particularly need to like wine.

The whole affair is entertaining and wine tasting becomes a side activity!

First there’s all the hype about all the different wines that exist, how long they’ve existed for (there’s severe competition here people) and the bottles they come in.

Then there’s the pouring, swirling, tasting…. and not to mention … the ooohhhing and aahhhing!!!

Believe me, people are so serious about the entire process, it’s entertaining just to see them in action. Sniffing at their wine and claming to know just how good  or mature it is … all la-de-da and pretentious.

I for one – LOVE every moment of wine tasting.

So, I was thrilled to get invited to one such event close to Mumbai, at LAVASA  – where a prestigious Hospitality Management Institute – Ecole Hoteliere Lavasa – was organizing an exclusive wine tasting event.

And, since I don’t drink and tell….(wink wink)…. I’ll just leave you with a pic of the event…..
