December 16, 2014 · by Karina · in Events, Reviews, Wine

New in the market: York Sparkling Cuvée Brut

November 8, 2014 · by Karina · in Delhi, In the news, Mumbai, Reviews, Wine

September 19, 2014 · by Karina · in Mumbai, Reviews, Wine

Nocturne: The Party Champagne

March 13, 2014 · by Karina · in Reviews, Wine

I’m not one for flowers, chocolates, or diamonds, but Champagne I can rarely say no to. Okay, make that never. So despite being slightly under the weather, I headed to the JW Marriott Aerocity in New Delhi for an evening…

On the Indian microbrewery trail

March 11, 2014 · by Karina · in Beer, Reviews

Inasmuch as I enjoy writing about malts and wines, I am shamelessly proud of being an ardent beer-lover. After a long day of wine tasting there’s usually nothing I want more than a nice cold fresh brew, one where the hops…

Oz Beer Master Class

Oz Beer Master Class

August 31, 2013 · by Karina · in Beer, Reviews

Good beer should not be hard to find. In India, however, good beer is a luxury. So when there’s a beer event with craft brews, no effort is too great to make sure I’m there, even if it means flying…
