The event started with a presentation by Mr. Peter Mitter, Regional Manager, Trade Marketing, United Breweries Group, who walked us though the various types of wines and how to taste it. This is kind of a continuation to the event that was held last year.

While Samita taught me a lot about tasting, food paring etc from the lessons Samita gave us last year, I came to know about a lot of technicalities this year. For eg, I was not aware of the difference between Sparking wine and Champagne or what should and should not be called Port Wine and many other pearls of wisdom. The fact that left a lasting impression was that the Four Seasons wines are aged in French Oak Barrels which are imported from France. Each barrel is used for 2-3 times and then recycled? How? No, they do not make furniture out of them. They are sold to English Bourbon companies who use the barrel to add flavor to their Bourbon. Yes, one Indian wine company is really giving effort to give the best to us. Plus, they are now exporting to the world!
They also showed an audio-visual of the plant in Roti, Maharastra as how it was earlier and how it is now! It’s breath taking beautiful! They are going to start wine tourism soon.
Then we were served Four Seasons Blush, Four Seasons Sauvignon Blanc, Four Seasons Viognier, Four Seasons Shiraz and Four Seasons B.R. Cabernet Sauvignon. The food was served later.
