Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Are you still looking for ideas for this Father’s Day? Why not get the father in question a bottle of wine that both of you can enjoy on the special day? I am not a wine expert but having tried numerous types, I have a few up my sleeve that definitely won’t break the budget!
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
Not long ago, I had signed up at mumsnet to be a wine reviewer for Blossom Hill Vie White 5.5%. I think that Blossom Hill Vie White is very light, fruity and easy to drink. Great with any type of food or on it own. If I would describe the taste of Vie to my friend, I would agree with the description of being able to taste the fruity flavours of citrus, pear and apricot. It is a reduced alcohol wine that is elegant and juicy. Vie is delicate and full of flavour – perfect when you would like a glass of wine without the high alcohol content.
