Wine Wine situation

And it8217;s not only the stalls and wineries, which will undergo a change. Apart from the usual attributes the festival had last year, this festival in an effort to make it an experience of a lifetime adds the international touch by coming up with the concept of open source restaurant. 8221; It8217;s a concept which will give enough freedom to the people to be themselves. They can come at the festival, cook food, which they like on their own, pair it with the wine and just have a gala time. It is will be fun as well it will make them put to use whatever they grasped at the festival,8221; says B Shakarnarayan, moderator, Pune Gourmet Club. Like last year every one visiting the festival will be equipped with a wine tasting kit8217; comprising a wine glass, a tasting card and a wine companion students from Nashik so that the consumers can use a reference point in the future. But apart from these, this time they will be also accompanied with a blue tooth enabled environment. 8220;Every one will have to vote through their blue tooth enabled phones for wine rating and then the best wine will be selected,8221; shares Shakarnarayan.

The festival apart from cultivating the love of wine amongst people also aims to promote Indian wines across the country. 8220;In this one year the wine scenario has experienced a tectonic change. Lot more new wineries have come up apart from Sula, Vinsura, Nira, Century and other usual names that dominate the Indian wine scene. We encourage new wineries to showcase their wines at the festival. This time too we are doing the same,8221; says Shakarnarayan. Providing a platform to the new wineries across India the festival will feature seven new wineries across the country. 8221; Deccan Plateau is a small boutique winery to whom we have requested to launch their wine in this festival,8221; says Shakarnarayan who remains hopeful about wineries from Karnataka participating in the festival. 8220;I am expecting the wineries there to participate because of the change in the tax equation recently,8221; shares he.

Meanwhile the second anniversary celebrations of PGC hosted at Silk Route in Koregaon Park on September 21, was a resounding success with over 70 members in attendance. An assortment of Indian wines combined with exotic Latin American cuisine dished up by members themselves made the Sunday afternoon a memorable one, as did Chef Parag Kanhere8217;s much-appreciated guidance to the band of enthusiatic cooks. All in all an event worth raising a toast to for sure.
