This is a blogger challenge with Frontera Wines.

This is my second recipe for my challenge. This recipe is to use as a sauce to drizzle onto any meat. Merlot is a rich dry dark fruits wine. This wine is soft and smooth with a 12.5% alcohol content. It is great to eat with pasta, cheeses, meat and chicken.

If you have not heard of Frontera before, in fact they are the world’s best-selling Chilean wine brand. The brand has refreshed the look and feel with its redesigned packaging. Now each bottle’s label has a fun and visual story all about the heritage of the wine, the poetry is told through the traditional Chilean method of ‘Lira Popular’ portraying the innovative spirit of Frontera.

On their redesigned packaging, the label on the Merlot bottle has the following:

It was a little blackbird

That gave me my name

Mirlo they called it

Beautiful and dark

Two things we share

Along with a joyful song

Grapes with magical roots

This is a blogger challenge with Frontera Wines.

Using wines for cooking is not something we tend to do as it’s more of a leisure drink for us. Last weekend, I opened a bottle of Frontera Sauvignon Blanc along with the Merlot (see my next post – rich mushroom wine sauce) to make a delicious dinner while enjoying the rest of the wines watching Strictly Come Dancing!

I must admit, I was not aware of Frontera before but in fact, they are the world’s best-selling Chilean wine brand. The brand has refreshed the look and feel with its redesigned packaging. Now each bottle label has a fun and visual story all about the heritage of the wine, the poetry is told through the traditional Chilean method of ‘Lira Popular’ portraying the innovative spirit of Frontera.

Lira Popular is a collection of printed popular Chilean literature, defined as the entire set of printed poetry sheets in tenths produced in Chile, since the mid-nineteenth century to the first decades of the twentieth. I think the labels look fantastic! The Frontera range is available at stockists nationwide RRP £5.99 and the range includes Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio and the newly launched Cabernet Sauvignon Blush.

On their redesigned packaging, the label on the Sauvignon Blanc bottle has the following:

My name is French;

I am a traveller by nature but Chilean at heart.

Don’t be fooled by my youth;

it’s the secret of my freshness and flavour.

This winter, Kikkoman is challenging bloggers to create an innovative, tasty ‘one pot’ or ‘one pan’ recipe using Kikkoman’s famed naturally brewed soy sauce. Kikkoman Soy Sauce is much more than a stir fry or sushi sauce. It is also a fantastic universal seasoning for all kinds of dishes like soup or roasted chicken or soya sauce chicken. Kikkoman is made with four pure ingredients – soybeans, wheat, salt and water. It is slowly brewed for several months.
