In Sensed Featured- Four Seasons Live Cooking Event at Novotel Mumbai

We were invited to attend the live cooking event at Novotel, Juhu Mumbai. Owing to some problems with transport in the city, we reached late. Upon arrival, we were made to wait outside for roughly 15 minutes by the hotel staff. Once, the Four Seasons Wines staff got to know, they took us in cordially. Unfortunately, we missed the actual cooking event. But, just 'cos we missed, you need not miss it. Here is the link to the cooking event.

We sat at a table and we were served some items from the fare on display. Chicken and Mushroom in three mustard sauce, lamb ravioli on a bed of mozzarella with anchovies were some items served. The food was well paired with the Four Seasons Chenin Blanc Wine, which is a young white wine. We had a conversation with Mr. Abhay Kewadkar (Head UB - Four Seasons Wines and Chief Wine Maker) and he explained to us about the different types of wine tasting and pairing possible. He explained to us what were the different types of wine and how the pairing was done. Generally, meats were not paired with white wine. Indian food is paired well with white wine, as it enhances the taste of the spices. The food was sumptuous and tasted great with the wine served. A slight spot on the experience was brought on by the less than lukewarm behaviour of the hotel staff. When one of us asked the maitre d' to pour some red wine, he, asked us to get it ourselves!

For dessert, there were lemon tarts and macaroons.

All in all, we had a good experience and we have only Four Seasons Wines to thank for it. :)
