Introduction
Welcome to this new edition of the Pune Gourmet Club's Wine Guide,
released at the second Pune Wine Tasting Festival. One year ago we
introduced you to a variety of Indian wines at an event that was lauded not
only by participating wineries but also the large number of visitors who
attended. The first ever wine tasting event of such dimensions to be held in
the city, and perhaps across the country, it set the benchmark for the rest.
Indian wineries have come into their own in the recent past, and especially
over the last year when several have won international awards for the quality
of their wines. Wines from India are making their presence felt across the
world and it's only right that they are appreciated in their country of origin.
For many of us, accustomed as we are to 'hard' alcohol that we mix with
water and other add-ons, wine remains quite mystifying. Apart from the
mind-boggling range of wine now available in the market, there's the
question of taste, and words like 'bouquet' and 'aroma' that get bandied
around by those in the know. It's enough to intimidate anyone.
The aim of the Pune Wine Tasting Festival is to demystify the world of
wines. It is an opportunity for enthusiasts and those yet-to-be-converted to
actually taste the different wines available, and learn more about them from
winemakers and other experts. Through this Wine Guide we hope to
familiarise you with many of the domestic wines currently on the market.
While our list is restricted to the wineries that are participating in the
Festival, they are a fair representation of the variety of Indian wines you can
expect to come across.
We have also included some basic information on the types of grapes used to
make wine, wine tasting, and food and wine pairing to help make your
journey into the world of wine more enjoyable.
Our thanks to the 12 wineries that agreed so enthusiastically to participate in

the Festival, and for their willingness to reach out to the wine drinking
consumer. Associate Sponsors DNA helped us spread the word about the
Festival and for that we are very grateful. We would also like to
acknowledge the support of the Bombay Food Service Company, and
everyone else who helped make the Festival a success.
Together, let's raise a toast!

The Pune Gourmet Club
More than two years ago a few people came together to discuss the
possibility of an informal group devoted to the pursuit of good food and
wine. That was the start of the Pune Gourmet Club (PGC), and since that
first tapas and wine evening in September 2006 it has, as they say, come
a long way.
PGC aims to introduce members to cuisines from across the globe, and
each member takes an active role in creating the food to be served at the
meets. Held at regular intervals, PGC meets revolve around a theme,
ranging from Greek and Arabic to South-east Asian, Cajun or Kashmiri.
Several meets feature live cooking at the venue and members gamely
enter the arena to dish up exotic food such as Cajun Blacked Fish and
Latin American Empanadas, items that you would never find in any
restaurant in the city. In fact the culinary exploits of our more daring
members have been featured in many newspapers.
The gourmet experience is highlighted with a

selection of fine wine, and over the past two years
members have had the opportunity to taste the
offerings of almost all Indian wineries. In the past
wine tasting has been the preserve of a select, 'by-
invitation only' audience. A large number of
enthusiasts never get the opportunity to be present at
such events. PGC works at bringing the gourmet
concept out of rarefied five star environments, and so
far it has done a commendable job of making good
food and wine more accessible to those eager to
develop a palate for it. The Wine Tasting Festival,
now in its second year, is PGC's attempt at opening The joy of cooking
up the world of wine to people who may otherwise
feel hesitant about entering it.
Apart from professionally conducted wine tasting and food pairing

sessions, PGC is planning winery tours and gourmet banquets. In the
past year members have grown from an initial 12 to more than 100. The
growing number of requests for membership to the PGC indicates the
increasing awareness among people, more and more of whom are
seeking to get familiar with the plethora of wines now available to them.
Membership is open to Pune residents with an abiding interest in

good food and wine and the willingness to undertake cooking tasks
for the meets. For more details contact us at

Know Your Wine Grapes
Cabernet Sauvignon
As a group Cabernet Sauvignon wines are generally full-flavoured,
with a stronger flavour than Merlot for instance, and with a smooth and
lingering 'finish'. The particularly thick skin of the Cabernet Sauvignon
grape results in wines that can be high in tannin, which
provides both structure and ageability. This varietal,
while frequently aromatic and with an attractive finish,
also tends to lack mid-palate richness. Cabernet
Sauvignon is thus often blended with complementary
varieties like Merlot and close cousin Cabernet Franc.
This blending adds complexity and makes the wine more
accessible.
Renowned for its high levels of extract and tannin, with classic cassis
and cedar characteristics, Cabernet Sauvignon also deserves its reputation
for great longevity. This grape has actually been called 'the varietal
without faults'.
This grape is widely grown in India and every winery has a Cabernet
Sauvignon in its portfolio.
Chardonnay
The Chardonnay grape variety is a classic white wine grape grown all
around the world. The original fame of Chardonnay
comes from its success in the Burgundy and Champagne
regions of France. White Burgundy must be made from
the Chardonnay grape unless the label indicates it was
made from a much less well-known grape, Aligote.
It is vinified in many different styles, from the elegant,
'flinty' wines of Chablis to rich, buttery Meursaults and
New World wines bursting with tropical fruit flavours. Chardonnay is an
important component of many sparkling wines around the world,
including Champagne.
Chardonnay wines are made by Rivielo, Ritza, Chateau Indage and Tiger
Hill Vineyards.
Chenin Blanc
The Chenin Blanc is a white grape that is commonly grown in the Loire
Valley of France, South Africa and California in the United States, Nashik
Valley and around Bangalore in India. It makes white wines that are
fragrant and high in acid. Chenin Blanc can make wines that range in style
from dry to very sweet depending on decisions made by the winemaker.
Indian Chenin Blancs tend to be on the sweeter side.
Its high acidity means the grape can be used to make everything from
06
sparkling wines to well-balanced dessert wines, although it
can produce very bland, neutral wines if the vine's natural
vigour is not controlled. Because of the high acidity in
wines made from Chenin Blanc, they tend to age very well.
Chenin Blanc is also used to make sparkling wines of
notable quality in some regions. Vinsura Brut sparkling
wine is made from Chenin Blanc. Chateau Indage's Ivy
Brut sparkling wine is a blend of Chardonnay and Chenin
Blanc. All wineries in India offer Chenin Blanc.
Merlot
The Merlot grape is a close cousin to Cabernet
Sauvignon in many respects. It is lower in tannins and
makes wines that mature faster and are softer in texture.
Merlot is often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon in
order to soften the blend.
At its best, Merlot makes a wine that is dry, rich in
flavour and smooth as it finishes in your throat. At its worst, Merlot makes
wine that is dry but thin in taste and texture, and not very pleasant to
consume. Most of what you will come across are likely to be of pretty good
quality. Merlot is not widely grown in India but a beginning has been made
by Cheatau d’Ori and Champagne Indage.
Muscat
The Muscat is the only grape to produce wine with the
same aroma as the grape itself. The muscat family of grapes
of the species vitis vinifera is widely grown for wine, raisins
and table grapes. They range in colour from white to almost
black, but almost always have a pronounced sweet floral
aroma.
Muscat grapes are grown around the world in Italy, Israel,
France, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Australia, California,
Hungary, Canada, Turkey and other places. The breadth and number of
varieties of muscat suggest that it is very old; perhaps the oldest
domesticated grape variety.Chateau Indage makes an occasional Muscat
wine.
Pinot Noir
The Pinot noir is a red wine grape variety of the
species vitis vinifera. The name is derived from the
french words for 'pine' and 'black', alluding to the
varietals' tightly clustered dark purple pine cone shaped
bunches of fruit.
Pinot Noir is one of the most difficult grapes to grow and
make into fine wine. It is also one of the very best when it
is done properly. It has very specific requirements for its growing
conditions, and needs warm days and cool nights. If Pinot Noir receives too
little heat in the growing season, its wines are thin and pale. If the growing
07
season is too warm, the wines have an overripe, cooked flavour.
Riesling
The Riesling gives wine lovers the finest example of the
important complementary role that sugar and acid play in a
wine's overall balance. Indeed, a great Riesling is exactly
that, a stunningly graceful contrast between the two.
Rounding out the package are the signature floral fruit
characteristics that combine perfectly with the grape's
natural sugar-acid balance. This gives Riesling the
potential to age gracefully for years, becoming more
supple and luxurious, with petrol-like qualities. At the sweet extreme of the
spectrum, Riesling is responsible for many of the world's best dessert wines.
Sauvignon Blanc
The Sauvignon Blanc is a green-skinned grape variety that originates from
the Bordeaux region of France. The grape gets it name from
the French word sauvage (wild) and blanc (white) due to its
early origins as an indigenous grape in western France. It is
now planted in many of the world's wine regions,
producing a crisp, dry, and refreshing white varietal wine.
Sauvignon Blanc grapes typically produce wines that are
searing with acidity and fruity flavours. The Sauvignon
Blanc grape is considered to grow best in cooler climates; when grown in hot
climates it tends to produce wines with very little fruit character.
Widely grown in India, nearly all wineries make this wine.
Semillon
The Semillon grapes make up 80% of the blend in the most expensive and
famous dessert wine in the world, Château d'Yquem. Semillon seems the
favourite foil of Botrytis Cinerea, the noble rot which
concentrates the sugars and flavours and intensifies the aromas
for d'Yquem and the Other 'late-harvest' dessert wines of
Monbazillac and Sauternes. These wines hold up spectacularly
in antiquity, unique in the spectrum of unfortified wines.
Semillon Blanc grows mainly in the Bordeaux region and in
the South West of France. Vinegrowers associate it to
Sauvignon and Muscadelle in the elaboration of Sauternes and Graves.
Emillon and Chardonnay blends are made by Chateau Indage and Tiger
Hill Vineyards.
08
Shiraz / Syrah
The heat-loving Syrah grape variety has adapted well to the warm venues
of California, Southern Oregon and Washington. It has also contributed to a
revival of interest in robust and heavy red wines.
Increasingly planted in many of North America's more
prolific viticulturalareas, it has been enthusiastically
produced and marketed by a group of winemakers calling
themselves the 'Rhone Rangers'.
Shiraz is a very vigorous growing grape. It produces large
bunches of anywhere up to 130 berries per bunch. They are
long and loose bunches with very good disease resistance.
Shiraz does very well in our cool climate and thrives in warm spring weather
to produce a strikingly peppery wine.
Shiraz grows well in India and many wineries produce Shiraz wine as well
as blends with Cabernet Sauvignon.
Viognier
The Viognier grape is a very shy producer and somewhat difficult to grow.
Although drought tolerant, it is easily infected with powdery mildew in
damp conditions or humid climates. Like many other
varietals, Viognier must be harvested at the peak of its
maturity in order to display its unique aroma and flavour
character.
The grape's tendency to develop high sugar but low acid
can result in wines with neutral, merely vinous flavours
and high alcohol. These cultivation problems and
producer desires to capitalize on the grape's somewhat rarity combine to
make many Viognier wines relatively expensive.
Viognier can be found in portfolios of Grover, Chateau Indage and Sula.
Zinfandel
Zinfandel Grapes, which are also known as Zin, are a red
skinned variety of wine grape very popular in California. The
wines produced from Zinfandel grapes have an intense
fruitiness and a luscious texture, and can range from sweet
White Zinfandel and light-bodied red wines to full-bodied dry
red wines and sweet late harvest.
Zinfandel grapes produce wines with an intrinsic cherry,
blackberry, zesty and spicy-pepper character. The Zinfandel
grape can also be blended with Cabernet and Syrah with
moderate success.
Zinfandel is used to make both blush and red wines. Vinsura & Century have
Red Zinfandel in their portfolio while Sula, Champagne Indage make blush
or ‘white ’Zinfandel wines.

Wine Tasting for Beginners
Even if you're a wine neophyte, you can cut through the mystique of wine
tasting to become a savvy sipper. Once you learn to pick out the subtle
flavours, and store them in your memory, it will bring a whole new
dimension to your enjoyment of wine. You will also be more confident
when it comes to buying wine.
Remember, you have only to please yourself. Just as not everyone likes the
same foods, we all have a different perspective in our appreciation of wines.
If you like it, drink it. If you think it goes well with a particular food, go
ahead and combine the two. Don't be fazed because others tell you a
particular wine doesn't 'go' with a dish. You be the judge.
Wine tasting can be done alone or with a bunch of friends - the process is
the same, although it may be more fun with several others and they can share
the cost of the wine.
The basics for beginners

The human tongue is covered with over 10,000 individual taste receptors
that enable us to detect the presence of certain compounds in our food and
drink. Yet for all the adjectives we use to describe flavours, the tongue can
actually detect only four basic
ones: sweet, sour, salt, and bitter.
If the tongue has such a limited
role to play in how we perceive
wine, how do we experience all
those wonderful flavours when we
take the first heady sip? The
answer is in front of your nose; or
rather it is your nose! The sense of
smell is more important to taste
than the tongue itself. So, what
better place to start tasting wine
than with the aroma? Well, actually before you ever taste or smell the wine
your eyes will see it, so let us start with a look at the wine.
Colour and Clarity

A good quality wine should be bright, with no cloudy haze or floating
particles. If it is a sparkling wine the bubbles should be fine and leave a
delicate mist at the surface. If the wine appears brownish, like it has been
tinted, it may very well be oxidized. The color of white wine is often very
telling of the flavours it contains. Lighter, pale straw coloured wines are
likely to taste lighter and crisp with very fresh citrus or herbal notes,
whereas darker whites will have more bold oak or vanilla components. The
colour of red wines will be very indicative of the grapes used, ranging from
pale burgundy to a purple crimson.
10
The first aromas to reach your nose will be the highly volatile esters
responsible for the fruity smells, as well as alcohol. This will be the most
complex part of the wine as there are literally hundreds of components
contributing to the wine's aroma. Many words are used to describe wine
aroma, from fresh fruit, dried fruit, herbal, grassy, oaky, vanilla, citrus, and
floral, to less desirable ones like chemical, sulphur, or madeirised
(oxidized). Wines that have been aging for a while may even develop some
more earthy aromas. Don't be too concerned with the exact description, just
use other flavours you are already familiar with and can remember for future
comparisons.
Taste
Now it's time to take a sip of wine. Do not swallow it! Hold the wine in your
mouth for a moment. You will quickly perceive acidity (sour) on the sides of
your tongue, and sweet on the tip. If there are any tannins in the wine they
will soon make themselves known; you will feel a drying sensation, almost
as if the wine is sticking to your tongue. Breathe out into your nose a little
and you will unleash the full potential of the wine. The wine changes
dramatically as you progress from the fore palate through the mid to the end
palate. Finally swallow, and you will perceive bitterness, if any, on the back
of your tongue, and you can really enjoy the lingering affects.
Your tongue will detect the following tastes:

Sweetness - tasted by the tip of the tongue. If a wine has any sweetness, you
will be able to taste it right away.
Fruity Characteristics - tasted in the middle of the tongue after the sweetness
is detected.
Acidity - tasted on the sides of the tongue. Acidity is easier to taste in whites
than in reds.
Tannins - tasted in the middle of the tongue. Red wines and white wines
aged in wood contain tannins, which tend to feel astringent on the palate. If
present in large quantities they can leave your mouth feeling dry
When tasting wine, you are looking for a balance of the

following :
Body - the weight of the wine in your mouth. The higher the level of alcohol,
the fuller the body.
Sweetness - the result of residual sugar left in the wine after fermentation. A
dry wine has no discernible sweetness.
Fruitiness - the amount and intensity of fruit flavour.
Acidity - acid gives the wine a fresh and crisp taste.
Tannins - the bitterness or astringent taste that comes from the grape skins
and stems. It adds to the structure and finish of the wine.
Many wines excel at a single point or two along this tasting path, but only
those wines that are exceptional improve with each phase of tasting and
culminate with a lingering end palate that leaves you begging for another
sip. While these are just the basics, it can take many years and literally
hundreds of wine samples to become expertly tuned into tasting wine.
11
Successful Food-Wine Pairing
The main rule to remember is that there are no rules: drink the wines you
like with the foods you like. That said, follow these basic guidelines to
maximize your enjoyment of wine-food pairing.
Match weight and texture: A light-bodied fish like pomfret goes best with
a light-bodied white wine, while the heavier rawas calls for a richer, fuller-
bodied white like Chardonnay.
Balance the intensity of flavours: A mildly

flavoured Reshmi Kebab pairs well with
light-bodied white wine like Sauvignon
Blanc. A strongly flavoured Mutton Biryani
will pair well with a red like Syrah or
Zinfandel.
Balance the tastes: The five basic tastes are sweet, sour, salt, bitter and
umami (the recently discovered fifth taste found in savoury foods like
mushrooms, tomatoes, soy sauce, and aged cheeses and meats). Salty and
sour tastes in food make wines taste milder (fruitier and less acidic), while
sweet and savoury (umami) tastes make wines taste stronger (drier and
more astringent).
For instance, a simple cut of a raan tames the tannins and brings out the
fruit of a young Cabernet Sauvignon, but chocolate (which some people
enjoy with Cabernet) will accentuate its tannins and diminish its fruit.
Seasonings, such as salt, lemon, vinegar, and mustard can be used to
achieve balance in food-wine pairings, either to make the wine taste milder
(salt, lemon, vinegar) or stronger (sugar or umami ingredients).
Match flavours: There are an infinite number of flavours, which are

actually just combinations of tastes and aromas. You can fine-tune food and
wine pairings by matching flavours in the food with those in the wine.
Roast duck in a plum sauce is well-served by red wines like Syrah, with
pronounced black plum flavours, while grilled steak in a pepper sauce will
go beautifully with a peppery Zinfandel.
Counterpoint flavours: Sometimes, the best choice is to counterpoint

flavours rather than matching them.
For instance, pairing a spicy dish like Chicken Tikka or Chicken 65 with a
high-alcohol red wine may seem logical, but, in fact, the heat in the dish will
ignite the alcohol in the wine to produce an unpleasantly hot, harsh
impression. A better choice is a low-alcohol, fruity wine like Riesling or
Chenin Blanc, which will both frame and tame the spicy flavours of the
dish.

The Wine
The Wine GlassGlass
The perfect wine glass has a stem and a bowl that goes in towards the rim,
so that the aroma is caught within the glass for easy sniffing. It is also made
of clear glass so that the wine's colour, an important
element in assessing and enjoying wine to the fullest,
can be appreciated.
Choosing wine glasses, also known as stemware, to
reflect both the best of the wine and your own personal
taste is both fun and easy with a little knowledge. The
shape, size and colour of a wine glass can dramatically
affect your perception of the wine that's contained in
it. There is no 'proper' way to serve wine. There are no 'official' sizes,
capacities, shapes or colours of wine glasses. Common sense and individual
taste should be your guide
Wine's appeal is not just its taste and smell, but also the visual aspect. The
play of light on the wine, the 'legs' and 'tears' on the inner wall when you
swirl the wine, and the way aromas are captured within the wine glass and
presented to your nose while drinking are things to consider when choosing
wine glasses.
Parts of a Wine Glass

The foot or base should have a broad enough shape to prevent the glass
from tipping over too easily, even when the bowl is filled to halfway. It
should also be attached firmly enough to the stem to avoid snapping if the
glass is held by the foot and swirled too enthusiastically!
The purpose of the stem is to prevent body heat from the hand from
warming the bowl and thus the wine. The stem needs to be long enough to
grasp, but not so tall as to make the glass unstable. It also needs to be sturdy
enough, as well as firmly enough attached to both the foot and the bowl, to
avoid breakage in normal use and care.
The bowl of a wine glass should be transparent and without a design that
might obscure or prevent you from observing the colour and clarity of the
wine. Although not as durable as moulded glass, lead crystal has the
transparency and brilliance to allow wine to show its best.
The shape of the bowl is the most important feature of any wine glass. It
should be curved and smooth on the inside and taper inward slightly towards
the rim. This keeps the wine's smells focused towards the nose and prevents
them from escaping into the atmosphere.
It stands to reason that a larger glass is required for wine at dinner than
would be needed for a sip of sherry after. Traditionally wine glasses with
larger, broader bowls are used for bold red wines with bigger bouquets,
and narrower wine glasses are used to concentrate the more delicate
aromas of lighter white wines.
Champagne is best served in a tall slender tulip glass, the better to enjoy
the bubbles that differentiate a sparkling wine from a still wine, and
prolong the chill.
13
If your budget, available cabinet space or desire for simplicity limit your
wine glass and stemware collection to a single size, a number of producers
have made all purpose designs. Most all-purpose wine glass designs are
attractive and relatively inexpensive. The California Wine Institute has
developed as an all-purpose wine glass that you might like to use as a
standard. Five and a half inches tall with a one and three quarter inch stem, it
has a clear, tulip-shaped bowl with a capacity of eight ounces.
The ISO glass

The International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) has recognized a particular shape that is the
accepted benchmark at all wine competitions. It is also
suitable for the average wine drinker as an all around,
every day glass. It should be made of transparent,
colourless glass with a lead content of up to 9%. Its
dimensions are just under 6 inches (155 mm) tall, with a
two inch (5 cm) tall stem and a four-inch (100 mm) tall
bowl, about two and a half inches (65 mm) at its widest
diameter and two inches (46 mm) across the rim. It does the job but certainly
wins no prizes for glamour and more and more professionals find it just too
small and clunky.
Caring for Your Wine Glasses
For sparkling clean glasses, wash by hand with a mild dishwashing soap.
Follow this with a thorough hot rinse and dry quickly with a clean cotton or
linen towel. Try to avoid twisting the stem counter to the rim as this can
cause breakage at the weakest points, the rim and where the stem is attached
to the base.
Clean wine decanters by filling them half-full with
moderately hot water, a small amount of mild detergent,
two tablespoons of white vinegar and a half-cup of
uncooked rice. Swirl the rice around to remove residue.
Rinse well with moderately hot water and air dry upside
down on a rack.
In the automatic dishwasher, wash wine glasses by
themselves and use no detergent. Immediately after the
cycle, remove any water spots with a soft lintless cloth
before storing. Generally, dishwashers should be
avoided for lead crystal. Not only is breakage likely for these softer glasses
but the harsh alkalai chemicals in autodish detergents leave a residue and can
actually etch the surface of the glass. This process is accelerated by the
heating cycle at the end of the wash. This also applies to metal-accented
glasses (gold trim). Lead free crystal can be safely washed in a dishwasher
but long stems are always an issue.

A slightly smaller version of the tulip is usually
designated a white wine glass because there is less
need to aerate white wine and one wants to keep the
chill. Visually, it provides variety and distinction when
more than one wine is served. This style is also
referred to as the 'non-oaked' white wine glass.

The 10 Commandments of Wine Tasting

1. Thou shalt not pretend to know your wines
Why? Because no one does. In fact, there is no such thing as the perfect
wine. Sure, there are fine wines, sweet wines, dry wines, but how good
a wine is, is a matter of subjective taste. You either like your wine, or
you don't!

when you're done, open another bottle! And wine tastings are perfect spots
to do that, especially at the Pune Gourmet Club!

5. Thou shalt nose the wine
In the composite of smell and taste, the nose does 70% of the work. To
nose the wine right, introduce your nose into the fume chamber of your
glass. Even if you can't smell anything at first, at least decide if you like
the smell or not. Then try and associate the smells with those from day-to-
day life. Smells of flowers, fruit, a boyfriend's old jacket. Old wines get
very complex and the idea is to associate with smells that bring up

3. Thou shalt look for the colour of the wine
If you drink wine, you lose three-fourths of the experience. Start by
looking at the colour. Hold your glass against a white background (use
a tissue if the ambience isn't suitable). White wines, as they grow
older, go from pale straw with hints of green to darker shades of
yellow. Dessert wines become brown when they are about 40-50 years
old. Red wines, on the other hand, go from darker when they are
young to lighter when they mature. Initially, they may all look the
same, but you'll get the hang of it.

Description Easy drinking wine
Alcohol content 12%
Champagne Flute/Prestige Cuvee

The old-fashioned coupe, supposedly modelled on
Marie-Antoinette's breast, is easy to spill and
encourages the precious carbon dioxide to escape as fast
as possible. The narrow champagne flute or tulip
prolongs the 'bead' (bubbles) of sparkling wine and
preserves its chill while presenting the festive wine at
its best. Its appearance always signifies "Celebration!”

My Tasting Notes Brand Reveilo Chardonnay

Producing region Nashik Valley

structure.
Vintage year 2008
Food pairing Poultry dishes, sauced meat,

6. Thou shalt swig deeply
Yes. That means if you're a serious wine taster, a lick o 'lips won't do.
Swig deeply. Two large sips, or 10 ml, are what you need to get a
true taste of the wine. Leave the wine in your mouth and swirl it. Or
simply chew on it if you prefer.
51
My Tasting Notes Brand Reveilo
Cabernet Sauvignon
Type Red
Style Semi dry
Description Extremely powerful
bouquet of aromas; typical fragrances of black fruit
have a slight green note of pepper. Moreover the
complexity shows coffee, cinnamon, tobacco and
vanilla too. Length and persistence announce the
importance of this wine. For these characteristics,
this wine must be dedicated to special
occasions.
Vintage year 2007
Bottling year January 2008
Food pairing Sauced meat; aged cheese;
heavy soups; grilled meat.
My Tasting Notes Brand Reveilo Chenin Blanc

Type White
Style Dry to Semi-Dry
Description The bouquet is very floral
and fresh. You can recognize the violet and the lemon
blossom. Its nature is particularly intense and crispy
due to its acidity.This acidity amplifies the sensations
you feel in the nose. It has a lingering taste.
Alcohol content 14%
Vintage year 2008
Food pairing Starters, salads, pastas,
poultry dishes.

7. Thou shalt not have a dry day
No matter which eyebrow the waiter lifts, you will order the sickly
sweet white if that's what catches your fancy. When you start drinking
wine, it is natural to prefer a wine that is not completely dry. The
difference between dry, medium dry and not dry is essentially one of
sweetness. When the wine is not sweet, it means that all the sugar has
been converted into alcohol in the process of fermentation. Don't worry
too much about not acquiring a taste for the dry.
52
My Tasting Notes Brand Reveilo Sauvignon Blanc
Type White
Style Dry to semi dry
Grapes 100%Sauvignon Blanc
Description On the palate the acidity
makes it very fresh and crispy. The chief
characteristic of this wine is its acidity, which
amplifies the citrus notes, and is also responsible for
its conservation. It is better to consume this wine
while still young.
Alcohol content 13%
Vintage year 2008
Food pairing Aperitif along with tomato
based dishes; pasta dishes, crab and Thai food.
My Tasting Notes Brand Reveilo Syrah

Type Red
Style Semi dry (easy)
Grapes 100% Syrah
Description A typical bouquet of wine
flavours from hot climates. The first notes of
blackberry and raspberry are complex with spicy
characters like licorice and coffee. The taste reveals
the perfect maceration of the grapes, for that velvet
and softness blend. The body is not extremely heavy.
Alcohol content 15%
Vintage year 2007
Bottling year January 2008
Food pairing Pasta dishes; meat and
spicy food.

8. Thou shalt know new world wines from old world ones
In the New World - Australia, Chile, California and India - wines are
named after the grapes. The wines here are more fruit-driven and
voluptuous. In the Old World - France, Italy, Germany, Portugal and
Spain - the wines are identified by the region and the sub regions from
which the grape comes. The wines here are far subtler.
53
My Tasting Notes Brand Reveilo Syrah Reserve
Type Red
Style Dry to Semi dry
Grapes 100% Syrah Reserve
Description The fruity notes are
dominant and the woody character is also very
persistent. The structure reflects a fresh and moderate
juvenility. The smoky character makes this wine
complex and juvenile, although important. The taste
is smooth with balanced tannins, and fairly long-
lasting.
Alcohol content 14%
Vintage year 2006
Food pairing Pasta dishes; meat and
spicy food.
My Tasting Notes Brand Reveilo Cabernet

Sauvignon Reserve
Type Red
Grapes 100% Cabernet
Sauvignon Reserve
Description The bouquet of this wine is
exceptionally intense. On the palate, the structure is
extremely full. The body is velvety, harmonius and
the complexity deserves a special mention. There is a
perfect combination of both, fruity and spicy
characters - the harmony is incredible. The tannins
are complex and velvety, with a long after-taste.
Alcohol content 14%
Vintage year 2006
Food pairing Sauced meats, aged cheese,
heavy soups and grilled meat.

9. Thou shalt match thy wine with delicate food
If you wish to pair your wine with food, use delicately spiced, aromatic
food - what the French called 'perfumed food' - and match it with a wine.
You'll be amazed at how well it will work. Fruity wines like Reislings and
Gewürztraminers work well with food, as do Shiraz or Syrah-based
wines.
54
My Tasting Notes Brand Reveilo Chardonnay
Reserve
Type White
Grapes 100% Chardonnay Reserve
Description The palate is full and
reveals the incredible structure of this wine - an
extremely rich and complex bouquet. The fruity notes
are confirmed and the perfect balance between
acidity and sweetness makes it round and harmonic.
The finish is long and persistent.
Vintage year 2006
Food pairing Poultry dishes.
My Tasting Notes Brand Reveilo Late harvest

Chenin Blanc
Type White - Desser wine
Style Sweet
Grapes 100% Chardonnay Reserve
Description The sweeter these wines
are, the more raisins and liqueur like they taste, and
the best have a concentrated, yet finely drawn, thread
of sweetness. The sweetness is perfectly balanced
with the acidity, resulting in a very pleasant and
velvety taste.
Alcohol content 17%
Vintage year 2006
Bottling year July 2007
Food pairing Strong cheeses like Stilton
and Gorgonzola; rich biscuits at tea time.

10. Thou shalt not be led by price and date
Quality and age of a wine has little to do with how it's priced. The prices
are purely market-driven. You might find yourself a bottle worth Rs. 200
in a small shop in Pune that knocks on your taste buds, while a Veuve
Cliquot might just leave you wishing for a rum instead. Go by your taste,
by what you feel and what you smell. Wine is an experience. Go live it.

Recipe
Salteñas - A Bolivian delight
The Filling: (for about 15 turnovers)

2 big spoons of vegetable oil
1/2 cup of onions, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
3 to 4 potatoes, diced
1 cup of green peas
450 grams chicken mince
250 ml. chicken broth
1 envelope of unflavored gelatin
a pinch of : salt, oregano, cayenne pepper and cumin
If using chicken mince, cook and drain. Set aside.This being done, the best way to go
is doing the aguado (the base of the sauce) in a large pot. Gently sauté the onion and
garlic in vegetable oil for about 10 min. Don't let the onions brown! Add the salt &
pepper, cumin spice, and oregano. Lastly, pour in the broth. Cover & simmer on low
heat for approximately 35 min. until a reddish oil starts to rise to the surface.
While you have time to waste, boil, in a separate pot, about 5 cups of water with
another pinch of salt. Dump in the chopped potatoes and peas, leave for about 7 min.
Remove ingredients to a holding bowl and set aside.
When you see that red oil at the surface of the broth mixture, put in the minced meat,
the potatoes and the peas. In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder with boiling
water and pour it in the pot as well. Mix thoroughly for about 10 minutes, then let it
cool. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.
The Crust :
1/4 cup (60ml.) of vegetable oil
3 cups (330d.) of flour
2 eggs
1 pinch of salt, 2 pinches of sugar
1 big spoon of ground annato seeds (optional)
Now, it may not seem like it at first, but making the dough is the most important part
of making the salteña. You know you got the recipe right when, once cooked, the
dough does not leak the yummy juice hidden inside. Last thing you want is for the
filling to ooze out, turning your salteña into one big soggy post-apocalyptic blob.
So here is how it goes. Mix flour, sugar, salt and annato.Beat together eggs, oil, and
half a cup of water. Stir into the dry ingredients ( ie. the flour mixture) to form a soft
yet slightly sticky dough. The best way to get the right amount of dough for the 15
circles we need to to make after that is taking about the size of a golf ball for each
salteña and flattening it so it lays fairly thin on a floured surface.
That Final Touch:

Heat it up! Turn your oven to 425°F (210°C) and put 2 tablespoons of "that-strange-
filling-from-last-night" in the center of each circle. Carefully close the deal with a
twist seam for braided-effect or however you like it. In certain Bolivian regions, like
Tarija, it's common to add an olive, raisins or beaten eggs on top of the mix before
closing. Finally, brush up egg whites on the turnovers and bake 15 minutes until
golden brown!
