Rocking wine party in Bangalore

There was much concentrated sniffing, swirling and sipping at this evening to sample a range of Scotch.
Master blender Richard Paterson took the gathering of whisky connoisseurs through quite a dramatic presentation, which included emptying an entire ice bucket onto the carpet. “Never put ice in your best whisky,” he advised.
Among those present were Sean Dexter, Dona Letheborg, Devesh Agarwal — who’s also a wine man — Meeru Pai, David and Aloma Lobo and Indur Hirani.After the presentation and the sampling of four blends, many stayed back to sip some more and sample the spread of hors d’oeuvres.
