SI Five Course Wine Dinner at Le Cirque, The Leela Palace Hotel

Sommelier India recently hosted a five-course wine dinner at Le Cirque, The Leela Palace Hotel in Delhi, sponsored by Anggel’s Share Wines and Spirits. It was our first wine dinner after a long period of inaction due to Covid and its aftermath and was consequently a great success. Le Cirque is a fine dining restaurant that serves French-Italian cuisine. The restaurant has a Michelin star and is known for its elegant atmosphere and impeccable service.

The wines were a fine mix from Italy, France and Spain (listed below), starting with a vintage Prosecco as the welcome drink, followed by two whites and two reds. The wines drank superbly and were an ideal match with the food, neither partner overwhelming the other. It wasone of those rare occasions when everything comes together – the restaurant ambience, the people, the food and most of all, the wines.
