Steven Spurrier was in Mumbai but thinking of Paris. He is the British wine expert best known for organizing the so-called "Judgment of Paris" - a 1976 blind tasting between French and U.S. wines in which the Americans improbably came out on top. The contest was a sensation, and sparked the explosion of the American wine market. Now, 33 years later, Spurrier is hoping to witness another revolution, this time in India. He went to Mumbai in November to co-chair the inaugural Sommelier India Wine Competition, in which a panel of India-based experts judged more than 450 wines...

...Indian market for alcohol - mostly spirits and beer, as well as wine - totaled $14 billion last year, and was one of the fastest-growing alcohol markets in the world.

Over the next five years, the Indian market for alcohol is projected to grow at 10% a year - more than in China, the U.S. and Europe combined, according to an estimate by KPMG India. "You've got a sizable population, a growing middle class...

Over the years, Stuker has enjoyed many Bingham-esque moments of grandeur, including $500 of free wine one Christmas and, another time, a gourmet dinner at Chicago's Tru for two ("They even let me pick the wine, which they might not do again."). He even had a United-sponsored appearance as a diner on Seinfeld ("I just sat there; they didn't want me to talk"). Last week on his way back from Australia, flight officials boarded his plane in Los Angeles and brought on a birthday cake...

...professional guides often wore tasteful costumes representing the local cultures, had genuine-looking smiles firmly planted on their faces and acted like perfect nannies: patient, kind and a little magical (not unlike Ms. Poppins herself). At certain points, the itinerary carefully separated the age groups: the adults enjoyed wine-tasting while the kids played dress-up with 18th century garb. Disney is obviously well versed in keeping each family member happy...

...making some sense when it comes to parenting [Nov. 30]. I have a 3-year-old girl and a boy on the way, and the barrage of what not to do is daunting. (Don't eat deli meat! Don't color your hair! Don't even look at wine!) Love your kids like mad, provide boundaries, be consistent, listen and laugh and occasionally let them be.
