Chilean Wines this month at Oakwood

Veramonte, one of the most highly regarded wines from Chile exclusively distributed by Wine Depot, takes front and center stage this month at the Oakroom in Oakwood Ortigas.

Wine Depot joined the Press Lunch this week and although the dishes were not Chilean, the pairings were delicious and are bound to satisfy big cravings. The full menu boasts of a selection of appetizers, main course and dessert.
 
Here is a snapshot of the Salmon Chowder - a nice and thick concoction made quite savory by two kinds of caviar mixed in with the soup for only P220++. Very well complemented by the Veramonte Estate Chardonnay which was a light, easy drinking wine with fruity hints.

Another item to watch out for is the gigantic grilled Kobe porkchop that looks like a baby tomahawk in its epic size. The 15 ounce steak is topped off with a port glaze and an equally sizable portion of Foie Gras. The recommended wine to go with this is the Veramonte Primus - the flagship bottle of the winery and the region's top red meritage-style wines. It's a blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Carmenere - the grape variety which Chile is famed for.
