As we said before we wanted to leave India in style!
So when we got invited to a Dom Perignon evening in the Taj Mahal Hotel to celebrate the launch of the 2003 vintage champagne in India we thought why not!
And wow what a night it was!
It is normally about 50 people at these events, but this time we were only about 24 and it was held in the 'Chambers' an invite only area of the Hotel. We had the Hotel General Manager, President of Dom Perignon-Hennessy India, Diplomats, members of the top families in Delhi and us...! Funniest thing was all evening we were introduced to people and they all said what a pleasure it was to finally meet Mr and Mrs Wines as they had heard so much about us.
The champagne was flowing all night, we started with the 2002 vintage and moved on to the 2003 during the meal. We had a lovely 5 course dinner, me veggie and Stephen had salmon, scallops with beluga caviar, and lamb.
At the end of the evening we said could we please have the bill, as we normally have to pay for these events. They responded - Oh no Madam! You don't have to pay for tonight you are our special guests this evening!
Even better!
We had a great night and after a few bottles of great champagne we wobbled home!
