Most of us have tasted our fair share of wines, but as with any interesting subject, knowing a bit more about it – its variety, flavour, age, colour, terminology, and other subtle details of the art and science of wine making would translate into a better appreciation of that drink in your glass! In this attempt the UB group and Tulleeho along with Corporate HR hosted the wine tasting workshop for Perceptites on Friday, 11 June at the P2 Terrace, Mumbai.
The 90 minute journey of discovery into a fascinating world of wines, illustrated the principal characteristics of wine, and showcased the illuminating contrasts of flavour, quality and style. By drawing attention to these individual characteristics, Perceptites discovered what to expect from different types of wine and therefore how to appreciate them better.
India, a country fairly novel to wine drinking, is suddenly witnessing a rapid growth in people who have started enjoying and experimenting with a glass of wine. And thanks to this interesting workshop, Percept can now boast of its fair share of wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs!
Lata Mangeshkar, the legendary singer released a hallmark book of photographs, titled “Chehere” in Marathi, by veteran photographer Gautam Rajadhyaksha, at a glittering function held at J. W. Marriot Hotel on18th June.
An emotionally charged and nostalgic Rajadhyaksha said, “This book is my salute to those whose pictures appear in the book. They gave me a lot apart from posing before my camera. I learnt something or the other from each one of them which made me improve not only as a photographer but as a human being too. This is an exchange of dialogue and emotions with them through the lens of my camera and hence I thought it appropriate to pen it down in my mother tongue, Marathi”.
The function was attended by many famous personalities from film industry like Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Jaya Bachchan, Hema Malini, Rekha, Kajol, Padmini Kholapure, Suraj Barjatiya, Satish Shah, Mickey Contractor and others.
