I was seated next to Mr. Abhay Kewadkar, So I asked a few FAQ’s :

Abhay Kewadkar, Chief Wine Maker and Director of Four Seasons Wines said, “Four Seasons wines have always been synonymous with the concept of food and wine pairing, associating with international events such as the Le Concours de l’Inde des Jeunes Chefs Rôtisseurs 2013 by Chaine des Rotisseurs, Asian Junior Chefs Challenge by MasterChefs of Great Britain, bespoke events by Michelin Star Chef from France. Our consumers expect innovation in complementing and contrasting flavors of food with our award winning range of wines. Four Seasons Gourmet Indulgence, will provide an opportunity to the wine and food aficionados to experiment with cuisines of the world paired with our wines such as Pollo della mangiamo with Four Seasons Sauvignon Blanc, Sesame Garlic Chicken with Four Seasons Barrique Reserve Shiraz, Grilled chicken & jalapeno risotto with Four Seasons Cabernet
Sauvignon, Salmon Tikka with Four Seasons Chenin Blanc.  And these are just some of the examples of what Four Seasons Gourmet Indulgence has to offer.”

The event is held in association with Poshvine. Poshvine (www.poshvine.com) is an online platform to discover and book unique experiences. As an offering extension, Poshvine also curates interesting properties for brands in the food and beverage space.
