Well, why not? With a winemaking history that predates the Hittites, Turkey has one of the oldest winemaking traditions in the world. A tradition that has continued largely uninterrupted since around 1600 BC. However, while the history of winemaking in Anatolia is long indeed; it is in the last few decades that Turkey has come into its own as a quality wine producer. Modern producers are exploring the varied terroirs the country has to offer, are blending traditional and modern winemaking techniques, and shifting more and more to organic viticulture. In addition, with the rediscovery of many native grape varieties, Turkey is home to wines that can only be found here.
All of this makes now an exciting time in the Turkish wine world. There are no limits to what winemakers here can achieve. From traditional method sparkling wine to raw wine aged in amphora; sophisticated natural wine to skin contact white wine; and traditional Assyrian wine to botrytis dessert wine; Turkey has it all. Combine Turkish vineyards with the seemingly endless number of cultural and historical sites that dot the country from one end to the other and you get a country rife for exploration of all sort. Taste and discover your wine adventure in Turkey!

"This beautifully written and designed book is an amazing addition to any wine (or history or travel) aficionado's collection. The author is clearly passionate about Turkey and its rich, but overshadowed, winemaking sector. Every page uncovers some hidden gem of the uniquely fascinating and diverse country of Turkey, and the descriptions of the wines, grapes, and regions leap off the page."
"Just received my copy for a wine friend and it looks great! No printing issues like another review showed. I'm not a wine person so much of it looks over my head, but I have to say, it looks really well laid out. Flipping through the book made me realize there is way more to wine than I ever thought."
"Over 200 pages of information on grapes, vineyards and history of wine in Turkey. The author has spent years collecting the information in this comprehensive give. A must read for those who love wine. A great guide for anybody planning a holiday to Turkey and curious about this sometimes overlooked aspect of Turkish culture."
This book is expansive, and a comprehensive review of everything you c"ould ever want or need to know about Turkish wine. It’s clear that the author has spent years compiling information about wine and wineries in Turkey, visiting each one, sampling their wines and learning about the depth and breadth of Turkish wine. The author is an authority on the topic, and has done her homework— presenting the history, flavor and other information in a visually appealing and approachable way with a flash card on the traits of each grape, contact cards for wineries and wine makers, and has made Turkish wine her life’s work. Buy this book for the pictures and photography and stay to learn about the wine. “Wine makes everything more beautiful,” and this book makes drinking a Turkish wine a beautiful and enlightening experience."
"This is a wonderfully written and beautifully designed guide to Turkish wine - but even if you’ve never had (or heard of) wine from Turkey, it’s still worth your time. The care and attention taken to each region, each varietal, and each winery is both incredible in its detail and genuinely fun to read. Yes, it’s a history of wine, but it’s also a history of each region (if only my scholastic history classes were this interesting). The author also indicates which wines you can find outside of Turkey, so you can go on your own adventure (with the help of your local wine store). Absolutely worth the purchase."
