All roads led to Sula and Nashik on 20th Feb, 2010!  With a great band line-up, sunny skies and loads of good food and wine, 1500 music lovers descended on Sula’s amphitheatre with a vengeance for Sulafest 2010.  Folks chilled out in the BBC Good Homes lounge sipping wine and nibbling canapes.  The colourful Sulafest Bazaar had shoppers picking up great bargains and a variety of food stalls tickled the palate.  Ankur & The Ghalath Family kicked off the music with his soulful renditions.  Something Relevant, Teddy Boy Kill and Shkabang had the revelers grooving against the setting sun.  The surprise traditional “lavani” performance had the crowd on its feet and the much awaited Jalebee Cartel ended with a power packed performance.  The audience screamed for more and it was a befitting end to the rocking evening!

The NYPD Desi Society hosted its annual scholarship dinner on March 26th in New York City and Sula’s Chenin Blanc and Shiraz were poured at the banquet. The society is an official NYPD fraternal organization that represents South Asian Americans in the New York City Police Department. The annual dinner is a celebration of awards, dinner, dancing and this year the guests grooved late into the night to desi bhangra. We’re sure that our wines added to the “dhak-dhak”.
