It was quite an interesting afternoon as the guests paired wine with desserts — fruit tarts, dark chocolates, creamy concoctions— and discovered that it really made a great pair. Leena Mogre loved her wine but declined the fruit tarts. Her recipe for lunch was straight — wine with the choicest of desserts. But she cautions, “Have a lot of green salad as main course.” Pria Kataria Puri in a lovely flowy floor-length summer dress looked at ease and Nisha Jamvwal decided to take it easy, finding a seat overlooking the swimming pool to sip her wine while talking to Anu Paul. Vida Samadzai was hurrying up the chef to lay down lunch as she had to catch a flight. Nishka Lulla came in late, was hanging around with her friend and occasionally greeted people stopping by to say hello.
