Wine tasting!!!

Last week was ‘Chinese week’ at Insead, I got chance to wear my favourite Chinese top. It was so much fun. Participated in all the games they conducted and won.

This week is ‘Spanish & Portugal week’, its even more fun. We had Spanish lunch and dinner. Cheese, Olive and wine tasting. I have never been to wine tasting before, went with all my friends.

There were 2 glasses for everyone, so I assumed that we are going to taste 2 kinds of wine. Every one is served less than a peg of each kind of wine. Second one was good, though the difference is not too much, second was little smooth. May be its because professional wine taster told us so :P. I cud not finish it. I still wonder how people like wine, it’s so bitter.

After sometime they started pouring another 2 kinds, and I saw that all others glasses were empty. So I was forced to empty the glasses. I tasted those and I could not find any difference between them, but the professional taster was going on telling many differences.

Then they started pouring two other varieties of wine. I found no point in tasting those as I was sure that I won’t recognise any difference. But I was sitting in the middle of the row and I did not like the idea of disturbing them all and walk out. So I finish the 3rd and 4th variety. They served 5th and 6th wine.

Then suddenly I stared to feel dizzy and my stomach started to burn. I did not want to touch next 2 wines. I heard people saying 5th is a classic wine and is very good. Apeksha also said the same thing, so I tasted and it was same as before, little strong. I tasted 6th also. Wine tasting got over, but after effects were more interesting. I felt very dizzy that I doubted if I could walk properly. I learned that in total we had slightly more than half glass of wine. I know half glass is too less to cause dizziness, may be it’s the combination of 6 varieties of wine and having it with empty stomach. Even Apeksha was feeling the same way.

Went to Spanish dinner, after which I felt better. Went home and realized that next day is one of my friends birthday and we forgot to order cake. So I thought for a while and saw that there is my favourite Gulabjamun mix. Made him cut ‘Gulabjamuns’. I think it’s the wine effect. Apeksha and I had a good laugh over it.
