An amazing sunset and a full moon rise creates the backdrop for the official launch of THE WHINGING POME – TO THE POINT at Bangalore Soma Vineyards on the 31st of March.
An international group of over 70 people from India, Sweden, UK, Australia, Ireland, USA, Canada, Hungary and Sri Lanka toured the vineyard, enjoying excellent wine! (let’s hope the Sauvignon Blanc makes a Parker 95 next year)
The Winging Pome, using his Churchillian accent presented his book while the sun was setting at the vineyard, with the Union Jack flag as the backdrop. Reminiscing somewhat on the theory that the sunset on the British Empire started with their departure from India some sixty odd years ago.
The audience included leading publishers, hospitality specialists, diplomats, wine lovers and expats living in Bangalore. A young female duo called Indoswede added color to the event by entertaining the crowd.
5 months since the launch of the book, sales have well exceeded 600 copies.
