A Trip Down the Wine Trail

A bottle of red or a bottle of white, no matter what the colour is, the invitation we got was just right! The invite was to the Annual Tollygunge Club Gym Party on the 19th of January from the Four Seasons courtesy Ginger Claps.

I could hardly contain my delight when Animesh, my co-blogger told me about the invitation. Then the very next thing I did was open my mail just to read the things that stood out in the card.
It was 7:30 in evening when we reached the venue. It all started when Mr. PPK Mitter escorted us to the table and offered us some wine in a while. The evening was full of exciting events like secrets of cooking special recipes from chefs of ITC Sonar Bangla, wine talk from the Four Seasons wine expert, equestrians in actions and finally the most enjoyable and exciting – Grape Stomping! I had so much fun! With each stomp of mine I made so much wine :-) .

There was the most amazing feast, in gorgeous pleasant weather. I still have the taste of chicken tikka in my mouth :-P . Wines offered to us were Chenin Blanc and Shiraz. I must say both were quite ‘my type’!

Oh yes! How could I forget to mention the most scintillating beat of DJ Happy, where we danced like crazy. Did I just mentioned “we”? Yes I did! ‘We’ includes Soumi, Debi, Megha, and Ritesh who are all bloggers. Everything from start to finish was smooth and it seemed like the event happened by magic. The only word I would use to describe the event is I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E… Did you pronounce the way like I did? I can imagine what a tremendous amount of work it must have been to make the event go live. The ambiance made me feel that everyone had taken a smiley pill.

I must tell you I fell in love with some of their amazing belongings that day – Debi’s Stud Hand Bag, Megha’s Orange Blazer and Soumi’s yellow pumps with a lace. Ain’t they lovely?
