Grover's do a wine tasting session at their vineyards near Bangalore. Here you get to taste their wine as it was intended and it is world-class. Apparently, the reason it tastes so bad when you buy it in retail outlets is excise practices, the wine is exposed to the elements in a excise bonded warehouses for months sometimes. If you are around BLR, and like wine you should make a trip there. It's 500 per head for just wine tasting and 850 for lunch as well. I'd recommend the lunch and a larger rather smaller group. Don't even get me started on the price/quality ratio of the imported wine available in India. PS. If anyone has seen New Zealand Golden Ridge (?) pinot noir in BLR please do let me know. -- Alok for ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING!!
