love some cheap light to medium red?love this recommendation...

Asian food is great. Love it but sometimes a meal just seem imperfect without painting it with some reds. This recommendation that I'm gonna make this time round is great with asian dishes and even with barbecue food!

And yes, the star of this recommendation is a 100% Merlot. Being a medium-bodied, soft red, this grape is indeed a fashionable character in the world of wine. A product of the south of France, this creation is made by 2 young winemakers trained in the New World. Hence, you'll realise that this red tends to taste rather "New World" in style. So, if you happen to like fruity reds, you might just find this a comfortable choice. You can easily find yourself indulging in the powerful flavors of ripe cherries and plum. Feel the linger as this bottle of Merlot leaves a long and velvety aftertaste.

While not a bottle that can create a impact, but it surely is one that you can easily match with a wide range of savory dishes. Avoid, nevertheless, very light dishes like leafy salads and also any hearty stew or heavily spiced dishes. Otherwise, the touch it creates on your tongue makes it quite a safe match for your meal as it doesn't contain heavy tannins nor excess sugar. And importantly, its cheap pricing makes it affordable anytime, anywhere! Not only is it suitable with food, its soft fruity nature makes it a delicious choice on its very own too!!!woohoo~~prost!

So if you are interested in this bottle of wine that I've suggested, here's some references:




Merlot
Vin de Pays d’Oc

Mis en bouteille a chanes pour af 21220

Hope you'll enjoy this recommendation. Once again, a comfortable choice given its price and soft touch.

P.S Just for some additional knowledge:
If you observe with some close attention, you might have noticed that the labeling in the above pictures do not look like classic French label which I once mentioned about in the previous post. This is so as wines from vin de pays d'Oc are labeled by the principal wine variety, instead of the origin. This thus makes it simpler and more comfortable for us to understand. *cheers*
