We're welcoming the Spring here at Stydd Gardens with a recent spate of lovely weather, the first of the barbecues have been lit and so we have chosen a wine to fit the bill.
The Montes Winery began in 1987 and commanded by the highly experienced founders Aurelio Montes & Douglas Murray; it pioneered a wave of improvements for the Chilean wine scene.
Their 'Classic' series Merlot from Colchagua Vineyards displaying intense colour indicates the concentration of jammy strawberry and plum flavours with just a hint of toasty vanilla spice from its time in French oak; perfect with marinated & barbecued meats.
There is a lot of value to be had with Chile, especially now they have invested heavily in their viticulture & winemaking techniques to ripen their grapes and then produce these fantastic wines. The take away price is just £8.50 from Fullaloves Wines. As always; we'll let you try a sample, buy a glass here or next door in The Glass House.

Results Day
Having studied for the Advanced Wine & Spirits Education Trust qualification, I was relieved to hear (whilst Scuba diving the Red Sea!) that my tuition from the excellent educator; Stephen Rosser, has paid off. Not that it was a great hard ship to get to taste over 80 different wines over the duration of the course! Thank you Stephen & Salut Wines in Manchester, it was a thoroughly enjoyable and fulfilling experience!Opening times (Stydd Gardens)
Finally just a brief note to inform everyone that all of Stydd Gardens residents and outlets will now also be open on Tuesdays!
