Innate HonestyPoor Harshal Shah. H is desire to please was entertainingly at war with his innate honesty in his review of Le C irque at the Leela Kempinski, Delhi. He wanted so much to like it that he ended by saying that this pricey restaurant lived up to his expectations, even though the Spaghetti Chittara had “too much turmeric in the sauce”, his Wagyu steak

of the goat’s cheese croutons

he found instead that “Rs 6,000 for V illa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand was somewhat excessive for a US $12 wine”. Shah’s predicament is identical to that of Shakespeare’s “poor cat in the adage, letting ‘I dare not’ wait upon ‘I would’ ”. The mind chuckles.

Colour & StyleThe O ctober-November issue is looking great! I love the food and wine cover. The issue has lots of interesting features, colour and style.

Vandana Gupta, via email

Austrian Quality RevolutionThe Austrian wine industry is in the midst of a quality revolution. W inemakers are focused on regional positioning within the new D A C norms. But perhaps a more substantial positive is their effort in identifying a point of departure in their style. In the long run, this will help the average consumer in appreciating the distinct character of the terroir; and also successfully minimise if not comprehensively avoid parallels to German wines.

In my opinion, crisp Gruner V eltliners from the

the mid-priced void in our emerging wine market.

complemented by refreshing acidity, I would not hesitate to pair one with our varied seafood delicacies. On similar

lines the glorious, mouthful St Laurents with their velvety tannins, have come to personify Pinot-elegance with a new identity for me.

What’s more, with winemakers on an innovation spree

TBA epitomising their obsession with residual sugar in a creative format. I hope this gathering had the pleasure to indulge in some of these expressive offerings from the lands of the Hofburgs.

Unfortunately and as you accurately pointed out, we will have to wait for some of the top-importers to drive local exposure for these wines. Personally, I am quite convinced that it’ll be well worth the wait.

Sparkling wines in India I am really convinced there is a great future for sparkling

way of life: colourful with bubbling vitality!Romain Bonnaud, New Delhi

Readers Write

Team Sommelier India wishes you a joyful Holiday Season and a Sparkling New Year! The issue in your hands is filled with ‘sparkling’ stories (pardon the poor pun) but, truly, there’s a great deal to interest you

in this issue along with several features on Champagne and its cousin, Sparkling Wine.

Champagne is often considered the ultimate drink of success and celebration. Champagne is also a wonderful way to soothe yourself when you’re feeling low. As Napoleon famously said, “In victory, you deserve Champagne, in defeat, you need it.” Interestingly, Lord Maynard Keynes, on his deathbed declared, “My only regret is that I did not drink more Champagne.”

So there must be something special about champagne and I’d include sparkling wine in the general category. However, as with any wine, drink it consciously. Be aware of what you are drinking so that you know what you like. Be discriminating in the best sense of the word, which is not the same as being a snob.

Among Indian companies we have Bouvet Ladubay producing some superb sparkling wines in the Loire region of France. Indage Vintners pioneered its production in Maharashtra with Marquis de Pompadour. Then came Sula Brut, Vinsura Brut and Zampa Salon. And by this time next year we could be toasting the Holiday Season with a home-grown sparkler produced by Moët & Chandon.

Champagne (and most sparkling wine) is made using the Methode Champenoise, which requires two fermentations, and adds the sparkle to the wine. For the second fermentation the wine is moved from the tank and bottled with extra sugar and yeast. The yeast consumes the sugar and creates bubbles of carbon dioxide plus alcohol in the bottles. At this stage the bottles are capped with a “crown” cap as in common sodas or colas.

When the winemaker decides it’s ready (which could take from one to three years) the yeast and sediment are removed by “riddling” or rotating the bottles a little every day, until they are almost vertical and the residue has collected in the neck of the bottle. It is then frozen and the plug of residue “disgorged”. A “dosage” of Champagne is finally added to top up the bottles before they are corked.

And now, to go back to the issue, I hope you have as much fun reading it as we did putting it together. Happy New Year!

The Season to Sparkle
