Nine Hills Wine Going Places

November 30, 2011 Leave a comment

Yes, we are all over the country now – from small towns to ethereal hill stations. And going by the initial reaction, people are lapping us up wherever we have laid feet.

We made this journey with four of our grandest wines – two from the cellars of whites (Nine Hills Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc) and two from the barrels of reds (Nine Hills Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon).

Let’s take you on a whirlwind tour of our latest invasions, practically from the east of the country to the west…..

  • Assam: Yeah. We have actually dared to enter the land of tea!! And no, the one-horned rhino did not stop us…

  • Meghalaya: Streets lined with beautiful cherry-blossoms greeted us when we reached this hill state. The capital city, Shillong, is by far one of the most stylishly dressed in the country.

 

  • Nagpur: This city in the centre of the country gave us a huge toast upon our arrival (and scolded us for not reaching earlier, despite being in the same state!!!)

  • Aurangabad: Know that Aurangabad is your destination when you want to see the famous caves, Ajanta and Ellora. When you go visiting now, you will no longer miss your favourite drink

  • Kolhapur: Why this city with one of the highest number of Mercs being driven around did not have access to the best wines is a mystery to us too. Well no longer though. The Kolhapuris can now sip our famous whites and reds……….

Cheers to all these new places in the Nine Hills Wine map!!!
