  This June saw the launch of Turkey's newest wine route: the Troia Bağ Yolu. Pack your bags, put on some sunscreen, and get ready for an adventure! Troia Bağ Yolu / Troy Wine Route Troy. A name deeply embedded into the minds of every lover of myth and legend, every high school student who had to read Homer, all of us who sat through that truly terrible movie from the early aughts, draws tourists in droves year after year. The founders of the new wine route are hoping to capitalize on that.  The Troia Bağ Yolu (Troy Wine Route) has brought together people from both the wine and tourism industry in

  Another month come and gone. I don't know about you, but for me it was sweaty and borderline icky (no klima here) and crazy busy. It'll be months before I get a chance to write up all the wine activities I attended. Not that I'm complaining! It always surprises me when I get invited to things. I'm generally so flattered, I'd probably go to the opening of an envelope, as the saying goes.  But, speaking of opening

  As is usual for Istanbul, we seem to have skipped right over spring and jumped with both feet into summer. I am not built for summer. Neither is my non air conditioned apartment. At least I have a wine fridge (conveniently located next to my couch, I can actually pull out wine without getting up which maybe tells you a little too much about me) so, even if I'm too hot, my wine isn't. Which brings us to the most important question

  The Lidya Antik Bağ Rotası, the newest of Turkey's wine route, has really come out of the gate at full speed with thoughtful branding, a slick website, an active social media presence, and special events. A couple weeks ago I attended a dinner hosted by the wine route. The guests were a quirky mix of winery owners and winemakers, marketing specialists, wine bar owners, social media wine influences, journalists, and somehow, me. [easy-image-collage id=22576] The evening began with an introduction to the wine route; its origin story, the inspiration, and the opportunity to taste some of the wines. We were then treated to a fantastic and not at all creepy puppet

  Has spring finally sprung? Based on the latest weather and the forecast, it's hard to tell. However, Easter is just around the corner, flowers seem to be blooming, and the few sunny days lately have given me hope. They say that spring is not for the faint of heart. It's a time of (re)birth when the earth heals from the scars of winter, birthing and healing are not comfortable situations. While everything may look pretty on the surface, remember what effort goes on to get those bud bursts to happen.  If the earth can come back from winter trauma year after year, we can all have hope that we'll

  Another piece published on Food Wine Travel Magazine! How to Spend a Day in Michigan's Smallest AVA I’ve been a proud Michigangster my whole life. But it wasn’t until I left the U.S. over 12 years ago that I really began to explore the state. What changed? Maybe a little homesickness, but more than that, I discovered wine. Now, my annual visits to Michigan involve learning more about its wine scene. On my most recent visit, my favorite cousin and I spent a day getting to know Michigan’s smallest AVA (American Viticultural Area): the absolute gem, Fennville. Fennville AVA I’d heard of Fennville AVA, but I’d never visited. Not only is it one

  Another piece published on Winetraveler! Turkey Wine Guide: Discover Turkish Wine & Regions Most people picture Turkey as a land of vibrant bazaars, layered history, and turquoise coastlines. Few realize it is also one of the world’s oldest but most misunderstood wine countries. Grape cultivation traces its beginnings to eastern Anatolia, and wine has been made here since before history was recorded. Hittites, Assyrians, Phrygians, and other ancient civilizations made their mark on wine long before Greeks and Romans inhabited the country’s vineyards. Here like nowhere else cultures, terroir, and a treasure trove of native grapes blend to create a grand coupage. Producing high-quality wines almost entirely consumed domestically, Turkish vineyards remain

  I am so happy to have my first piece published in Winetraveler! Turkey Makes Wine? Here’s Why You’ve Probably Never Tried It Turkey elicits images of minarets, fezes, kebab, and endless glasses of tea. Visitors have long flocked to Istanbul and beyond to explore the country’s ancient ruins, sandy beaches, and stunning countryside. One thing that many people miss is its wine. Despite being one of the oldest wine producing countries on earth, few have discovered the wines or even had a chance to try them–here’s why. Turkey Doesn't Really Export Its Wine While many think Turkey might be too hot for vines, the truth is that heat is tempered by sometimes
