So far I have tried only Apple and Peach, next time I go I will note down all the varieties.<BR/><BR/>Plus, HPMC and another Himachal based company - Bhutia, have the most amazing jams, pickles and preserves. All kinds of stuff. And their Litchie juice is to die for.<BR/>Samir, Manali is way off from Chandigarh, but a bit of a drive takes us to Parwanoo which is right on the foothills of the Shivaliks and there is an HPMC outlet there. And Shimla ofcourse, if you take the road on the left from the church on the ridge you come to this little shop which has some amazing stuff.Avahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17274222598587327676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671764855206356439.post-85077886088582986662008-09-24T18:55:00.000-05:002008-09-24T18:55:00.000-05:00@avdi :)Thanks for the wine info, really loved it....@avdi :)<BR/>Thanks for the wine info, really loved it.
