| Wine Roses & Still Indian Wine - Viognier |
When it comes to wine I’m no connoisseur, I’m more at home
with baking and find joy in cooking. But, off late I’m getting down to the nitty
gritty of wine tasting. In one of the earlier
wine tasting and food paringevent organized by GingerClaps, I got the first hand experience of 4 S's of
wine tasting: Seeing, Swirling, Smelling and Sipping.
And now, here is my first experience still Indian Wine -
Four Seasons Viognier.
I saved this wine for a special day – my partner’s b’day.
And just before dinner, there was a strong downpour in Bangalore, apparently due
to a low depression in Bay of Bengal.
Four Seasons Viognier, comes under the Still Wine category.
Meaning, this mine contains no carbon dioxide. So, basically it’s devoid of
sparkle or effervescent qualities.
Interestingly, Four Seasons Viognier is from the Western
Ghats Wine, a region endowed with the perfect natural conditions for yielding
fine French varieties of wine grapes.
Tasting this Indian Wine gave a whole new experience, a different taste than
Merlot wine. The dry white wine with aroma from white
peach presented an opulent lushness.
Call me totally unorthodox or naïve or even experimental. I
had different accompaniment for this wine. I had couple of freshly baked
cupcakes, and then the ended with tuna cutlet. I had to say this. Fish cutlet
and still Indian wine was an awesome combo. Maybe, it’s the oddness, or the
entire mood made, the moment more memorable.
