The Annual Wine and Dine of Calcutta Wine Club in association with t2, was a gala night of wine connoisseurs, feasting, grooving and insightful unknown wine facts. With a carefully curated five-course meal, paired with five different wines mostly from Italy, it was the classic annual soirée. The ambience at Hyatt Regency Kolkata was warm and definitive. President of CWC, Dr Debasis Datta, said, “Tonight is a special night. I extend my gratitude to the dedicated members whose enthusiasm has made this club flourish. Together we savour exceptional vintages, discovering new wines and cultivating lasting friendship.”
The Zonin Ventiterre Chianti DOCG was paired seamlessly with an exquisite Pan-seared Butter Garlic Salmon that consisted of caramelised fig, lime-drizzled baby arugula, candied walnut and a poached egg.
