Bangalore Wine Buzz - Four Seasons Wine - Merlot

Four Seasons Classics - Merlot  

Wine For Two - Merlot Moments

Wine Perfect for Bangalore Weather  
An experience that could be rare for the Indian at 9 pm after a ride back home. Dry taste in Indian wines is hard to get. The Four Seasons Merlot is excellent for the weather in Bangalore, and you could be in for a great evening once the brim escapes.

The best part about Merlot is its compatibility with the regular food one cooks in an Indian home. The light high is also great with lightly fried eggs, chicken or bacon.
