Alpana Pours  by Alpana Singh
Alpana Singh is uniquely qualified to talk about wine, contemporary women and relationships. At age 26, she became the youngest woman to be inducted into the world’s most exclusive sommelier organisation, the 120 member Court of Master Sommeliers. She spent five years as sommelier at a world famous four star restaurant, Everest of Chicago. While there, she closely observed the sometimes humorous, sometimes absurd, social interactions between men and woman at all stages of their relationships. Her mental journal of these ‘social observations’ came in handy as she wrote her first book, Alpana Pours. The book reaches readers in playful language they will understand, and in a highly entertaining manner they will enjoy.
