On Friday, my wine friends headed off to India's Grill in LA. Since there is only a $6 corkage fee, we all brought different wines for everyone to share.
India's Grill
428 S San Vicente Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90048
The food is phenomenal and quite inexpensive! We brought in all of our wines and stems, and I don't think they even charged us for corkage. We had a bevy of different dishes, chicken curries, grilled okra (so delicious!), lentils, lamb, a couple of other chicken dishes, and the bread (naan) was great. Excellent service, too. I can't wait to come here again.
Here are some of the wines our group brought in for the evening, wines that would match with Indian food.

All the wines were fantastic and wines I might not think to get for myself. My favorite wine was the 2006 Domaine Weinback Gerwurtzraminer from Alsace. Luscious, honeyed, and pleasing. There were a couple of other wines not mentioned. All in all it was a great outing.

At the same the Indian wines should work on wines which goes best with Indian food. And targets more of Indian cusines, that should help them exporting to America , Europe and other countries.
Viognier is one of the great grapes of France's Rhone Valley. It is an extremely aromatic variety redolent of ripe peaches and wild flowers. It is frequently used to add aromatic complexity to blended wines but on it's own, delivers a rich, soft wine with high alcohol and deep flavors of honey, peach, apricot and tangerine.It tastes excellent with some Cuban Cigars.
