Cheers @Lalbagh

Karnataka Wine Board had a concerted effort to promote wine tourism, a very first a three day wine festival which was organized in Lalbagh this weekend, people took this opportunity to test and buy different types of wines from leading wine manufacturers like Grover, Kinvah and Naka…
The State wine policy allows individuals, groups, companies and to organize wine festivals. However, there's a strict no-no to fortified wine (alcohol-added wine) during these festivals. Karnataka has 600 acres under grape cultivation, with Nandi Valley in Chikkaballapur and Krishna Valley in Bijapur with the highest cultivation..

Boiled Corns on Streets

The climate is nice and cool, this creates a good demand for boiled corns and the carts are back on the streets selling them… the rainfall have still not picked up to the extend that there is a scarcity of water and thus there are few water tankers plying around ( seen in the background here) to fulfill the daily water needs in some areas…
