Know Your Sommelier
Two words that describe me perfectly would be Wine Geek.
After trying my hand at professions ranging from research to advertising to wedding planning, I finally found my calling, when one day (at the suggestion of my mother!) I decided to give the subject of wine a shot.
After being formally introduced to wine through the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET), I was hooked. The corporate world and agency life bored me and only something as fine and complex as wine managed to hold my interest. I passed my WSET Level 3 with distinction in 2014 while working with one of India’s finest importers of boutique wines, before starting Magic Cellars in 2016.

I have known Gargi for over a decade now and attended many of her varied but always delightful wine tastings, intimate dinners and grand, large scale events. There is always a great takeaway and learning from them.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Ms. Gargi Kothari since 2016 and have attended several wine dinners and workshops curated by her. Not only have I enjoyed the tastings but also gained knowledge about wines from Gargi. Her events are a fun way to learn about wine!
I've attended numerous events hosted by Gargi, and they've all been fantastic. Gargi's deep knowledge as a sommelier elevates each tasting into an educational feast for the senses. They're also great social gatherings.
Magic Cellars shines in its curated pairings of some fabulous wines and foods. Gargi's enthusiasm ties the whole experience together, making it both informative and enjoyable. Highly recommend!
I was an NRI, having just moved back to Mumbai. I attended Gargi's 1st event about 6 years back and I was super impressed with her knowledge of wines and her warmth. The event exceeded all my expectations and I am now a regular at her events.
Gargi's evenings are fun, warm and hospitable. She has a beautiful way of bringing together an eclectic mix of people. The wines are lovely and she engages you in conversation thru the different countries and styles of wines.
I wholeheartedly recommend Gargi's events to both newcomers to the world of wine and seasoned connoisseurs – her events cater to all, promising an enriching and enjoyable journey through the realm of wine.
Gargi's wine tasting events have consistently exceeded my expectations since 2017. As a regular attendee, I've lost track of the number of occasions I've joined, and each time is a delight. Gargi's expertise as a sommelier shines through in her thoughtfully curated selection of wines from around the globe.
What's remarkable about Gargi's events is that each showcases a unique assortment of wines, ensuring a continuous learning experience. Gargi's in-depth knowledge about each wine she presents is shared in an accessible manner, making the complex world of wines comprehensible to all.
Have attended a number of wine tastings conducted by Gargi.While very knowledgeable she has the ability of putting this across succinctly and also the ability to make a room full of strangers comfortable. Have also discovered some wonderful wines in the process. Way to go Gargi!
