Friday, the 7th was a much awaited date in the May episode of the calendar. Many had circled the date in rambunctious red. And why wouldn’t they? Smirnoff Experience Party was back in town at the Grand, Intercontinental Hotel, New Delhi. That should have been said with an exclamation mark rather than a full stop. The Smirnoff Experience was back! Ah, much better. With an awesome line up of acts, yum bites on the house and of course, Smirnoff, it was a night which easily lingered somewhere between...

If you thought you could never be in 007 a.k.a. Pierce Brosnan’s place when he coolly sips a Martini from a glass made of ice while sitting in a bar created entirely out of ice in the hit 2002 movie ‘Die Another Day’, re-work those brain cells and think again. Delhi has been blessed with its first authentic Ice Bar in India – Ice Lounge. Mirage Entertainment – the firm behind the Ice Lounge got the world’s best ice carvers who crafted and installed 35 tonnes of crystal clear ice imported from...

India sure has a booming liquor market, three hic’s to that. People love this tipsy liquid and its making its way from the dusty store shelves to our food. One can find liquor in chocolates, golgappas and even the innocent pastry and being in India, the opinions are obviously divided. India and liquor in food goes hand in hand with a thousand controversies around. Let’s move away from that though, that being a different and depressing topic. Liquor chocolates have been welcomed with happy...

Matching food and wine seems like a complex equation, something most of us will never go into because fixing a spaceship and having a drink with the Martian seems much easier. Though there are rules, like there are rules in every aspect of life, which you must keep in mind, experimenting with different food –wine pairs is encouraged as well. If a particular food-wine pairing goes well, try it again. Exciting experimentations never hurt anyone. Regional wines are paired with food in countries...

How many of you have met self proclaimed wine experts and magical homemade sommeliers? I see all hands in the room way up. Yes I call 70 percent hands as all. The emphasis here is not even on their mysterious wine learning journey but how many Indian wines do they speak about out loud. *cue puzzling head spins. Indian wines you say? Now comes the interesting bit. Did you know that wine is being made in India for nearly a thousand years now? Indians have always been familiar with wine and...

Gurgaon just might have left Delhi far behind eating its dust in the race for entertainment city. Gurgaon has the advantage of alcohol license at family joints and malls *many exclamation marks* and is making the absolute most of it. The newly opened Blue-o at Gurgaon attracts hordes of visitors. The brand name (PVR), advertising and the tag of ‘biggest bowling alley in India’ must have something to do with it but me thinks the underlying success factor is beer! Yes, one can lazily slip beer...
