Lulu has moved from fashion and friends in glam Mumbai to global London. The blog takes on everyday living, museums, cafe's, cosmopolitan friends,currently infrequent weekend pub visits, shopping and calorie counts. If I understand British Humour which is slowly making its way into my brain cells through my cold ears, I promise to share.

The flexi mood changer

The pleasure of washing down a bad day with a glass of wine. Pinot Noir for a long evening, or a muscat for aperitif happiness.
Last weekend my flatmate and I grabbed some great deals at our local wine shop which unfortunately is shutting down. Look out for oddbins, I think most areas have one.
This evening, which happens to be a not so great one for both of us - we uncorked a bottle of Soave Portone. Smoothly glides down your throat, and into the blood stream to calm fraught nerves.
The label reads - Portone is the product of a meticulous selection of Garganega, Chardonnay and Trebbiano grapes cultivated on the rolling hills of Verona.
A crisp dry white wine with a fruity apricot flavour, this unoaked wine makes an ideal aperitif.
Highly recommended by me. I always envy people who know exactly which one to buy and can distinguish between all the million kinds with a whiff of the fragrance.

The biggest liquor store in Ottawa in near the Bytowne Cinema where I go at least once each weekend. So I will stop in there next time and see if I can find your flexi-mood-changer. Although I don't drink alone, so it may take some time before I taste it, but there is, I suppose, no hurry.

Pearl: Did you see the movie Sideways? All about wine and such.

Don't forget Rodin!
