Fascinating and exquisite

"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."

Looks great!

"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."

An opus. Everything you need to know about wine in Turkey

"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."

A beautiful and comprehensive guide for all wine lovers

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."

For wine lovers, wine likers, and those who are just curious

"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."

One way ticket to Turkey please!!

"This book is absolutely gorgeous!! The author brings Turkey and its wonderful history of wine making to life! The details of each region, vineyard and winemaker are meticulously researched and presented in such a beautiful way, that it allows the reader to practically taste each of their complex flavors. This book is a must for any wine lover, traveler to the region and even those that are seeking to expand their knowledge of Turkey. The book also offers some of the most breathtaking pictures of each place that is visited. One will have the overwhelming urge to purchase a ticket to visit Turkey themselves after reading through this book. I promise the reader will be left with the same warmth for the country that the author has, in what I imagine was an absolute labor of love."
