An unmissable #Indian duo.

Myne Reserve Cab Sauv: a boutique red #wine that delivers everything you’d expect from a top-notch Cab.

Goan chouriço: smoky, spiced, tangy Indo-Portuguese classic. Toss it into a warm salad of quinoa, bell peppers & corn, pour a glass & enjoy.

Not every day calls for a grand cru. But a well-made, easy-going South of France sunshine with a 200+ year legacy? That’s a win.

Here’s #Calvet Varietals #Chardonnay — golden in the glass, fruity and expressive, with lemony citrus, mellow pineapple, and floral hints.

#frenchwine #winetasting

Velvety baked vanilla cheesecake with spiced orange compote, honeycomb, and pomegranate jewels already sounds delicious. Now pour Dr. Loosen’s ‘L’ #Riesling — an off-dry German classic — and this pairing becomes a head-nod that says: spot on!

#winepairingadventures #dessert #wineandfood #winelovers

A gentle reset.
Intentional bites, leisurely sips, soulful catch-ups — an evening unhurried, where you’re simply allowed to be.

That’s how we’d sum up our wine dinner at Travellers Bungalow.

#slowdining #winepairing #foodandwine #winelover

A juicy, boisterous GSM from the Languedoc-based rebel brand @legrandnoirwines. Paired with Mangalore’s iconic Kori Ghassi and Pork Baffat at our wine dinner.

Who knew Mangalorean spice and French flair could get along so well?

Equal parts art and attitude, Fuerza from Jumilla region blends the big, bold Monastrell (primarily) and Cabernet Sauvignon into a powerful, expressive pour—surprisingly easy to drink. Ripe red fruits, smoky oak, and sweet, well-knit tannins—hard not to finish the bottle. #winetasting #EgoBodegas

Nagaland’s smoked pork curry—made with axone, lomba & bitter eggplant—is smoky, punchy, and deeply umami.

Pair it with Montes Carménère (a grape once lost in Bordeaux, revived in Chile) and you’ve got a bold, unexpected match.

#cuisinesofindia #winepairing #matchoftheweek #staycurious

This Indian #wine is stealing hearts! Grover’s La Réserve Syrah-Grenache is a classic Rhône-style red. Big on fruit, with a good lick of spice, and polished enough to impress both newbies and the wine-woke. It’s 55% Shiraz, 45% Grenache, matured in French oak barrels for six months. #winetasting

Montes Limited Selection #Carménère is satisfying from the first sip. Ripe plum, blackberry, dark chocolate, cedar, a hint of smoke and cracked pepper hit the nose and flow seamlessly onto the palate. Soft tannins and an elegant finish keep things interesting.

When someone calls a wine foxy, they’re not talking about its charm. The term might sound flattering, but it’s more likely to make a sommelier raise an eyebrow. Let’s decode.

#winewords #wineknowledge #winelovers

Provence rosés are in a league of their own — fresh, elegant, dry with that signature pale pink color.

Here’s Château Roubine, R De Roubine #Roséwine — a light, bright & chic blend of Grenache, Syrah & Cinsault, which we poured alongside prawn cakes & chicken shish at Jamie Oliver Kitchen.

Goats do Roam sounds like Côtes du Rhône, but it’s named after Fairview’s vineyard-roaming goats. A blend of traditional Rhône grapes, this #redwine is packed w/ bold berry flavors, spice, rounded tannins & a long finish. Rhône in spirit, South Africa at heart! Have you tried this yet? #winetasting

Meet Chhurpi, the soft, crumbly, tangy, umami-rich #Himalayancheese that melts into Bhutan’s Shamu Datshi—a rich stew of mushrooms, cheese & chilies.

The perfect sip for us was Altano Douro Branco—its bright acidity and citrus zest balance the dish beautifully.

Up for a taste test? #winepairing

When the sommelier swirls a glass of white #wine and goes, 'Mmm... citrus, grass, and a hint of cat pee,’ don’t be horrified. ‘Cat pee’ may sound bizarre, but it’s a legit #wineterm — here’s what it means.

#winetasting #wine101

Love grows where you plant it, and for Loveblock, it starts in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley. Their #organic Sauvignon Blanc—fermented w/ wild yeast in concrete eggs, amphorae & neutral French oak—is floral, herbaceous & deeply expressive. This Valentine’s, let’s toast to this #winewithheart. #nzwine

A gloriously messy Cantonese-style mud crab in an aromatic, umami-rich ginger scallion sauce, meets its match in a crisp unoaked Chardonnay. Here’s to living deliciously!

Pro tip: Wear that bib with pride, and keep the wet wipes handy. 🥂😉

Taylors Jaraman Pinot Noir: a knockout Yarra Valley #wine with cherries, strawberries & a hint of spice, balanced with a graceful finish.

"Jaraman" means horse in Aboriginal, while the seahorse honors the estate’s fossil-rich, prehistoric seabed. A must-try for Australian #winelovers. #winetasting

Today’s bizarre #wine term is “Tight.”

And no, it’s not about fire fits, epic moves, or being tight with your BFF. In the world of wine, “Tight” has a whole different meaning.

#wineterminology #winewordoftheday #winenerdhumor

Last Friday was proof that a great evening doesn’t need much—just honest food, wines that make you pause, and people who know how to enjoy both. Here’s to keeping it simple and soulful.

#wineanddine #winenight #slowdining #goodvibes

Say hello to Marius Vermentino by Rhône Valley legend M. Chapoutier. With honey, grapefruit, and ripe citrus aromas, followed by a fruity palate and fresh acidity, it’s irresistibly sippable—your new go-to for good vibes and great times.

#winetasting #chapoutierwines #vermentino #wine #goodvibes

Pause for this! A zesty, fragrant octopus salad that’ll blow your mind: tender baby octopus, potatoes, beans, & crunchy romaine lettuce; all dressed in Bengal’s exotic, aromatic Gondhoraj lime juice, zest, & olive oil. Pop a Vermentino & let the flavors of the sea wash over your taste buds.

Wine lingo can be pretty wild! Some terms might leave you scratching your head, chuckling, or both. Today’s word is “Bunghole.”

Kinema, a fermented soybean curry from Sikkim, is an earthy & umami explosion. Its slightly slimy texture might deter some, but it's delicious w/ rice & mustard greens. For an unexpected twist, pair it w/ a bold Xinomavro #redwine. What's the most adventurous dish you've fallen in love with?

2025 is already in full swing, brimming with newfound favorites, fresh pairings, exciting flavors, shared memories, and countless reasons to raise a glass together. Here’s to a delicious year ahead!

A gastronomic evening at Travellers Bungalow, Bangalore, where Executive Chef Kanchan's carefully crafted dishes paired with thoughtfully selected #wines wowed our guests.

Some meals nourish the body. Some awaken the soul. This was the latter. 🥂

#winedinner #winenight #winelover #wineandine

Long legs that get you high!

Swirl your #wine and watch the streaks glide—thick or thin, quick or slow—hint at its alcohol content. More legs indicate higher alcohol content & vice versa.

Call them Tears of Wine, Church Windows, or Gibbs-Marangoni Effect—your pick!

#winehack #winetasting

There’s beauty in slowing down. And this is especially true in the realm of wine. Don’t you think?
