As the festive season is approaching, Oz Clarke headed to The Pig in the South Downs with Susy Atkins. They had three bottles of Montes packed in their luggage with the mission of disovering Chilean wines to beat the winter chill…
‘If you want one piece of advice on which red wine to buy for Christmas I would say head to Chile. Don’t buy the cheapest one, spend a little more and Chile absolutely delivers.’ – Oz Clarke
