  Deanna of Wineivor has invited the #ItalianFWT group to explore the Vento and the Wines of Romance this month! As Deanna pointed out in her invite, the Vento is well-known for its wines, among them Prosecco, Valpolicella, Soave, Bardolino, and Amarone. I chose to focus on Prosecco. Not just because I love bubbles (which of course I do!) but because of the memories associated with it.  In October 2019, I took my mother to Italy, her first trip there. We went to Rome because if you're Catholic you go to Rome, and we went to Venice. At every meal or stop to rest (she not being super mobile), I

  Some time ago, I posted about a couple different Moschofilero wines I'd had, which you can find here. Then, at the urging of my friend Anna Maria of Unravelling Wine, I hunted down a Bosniakis Moschofilero.  Given how wide-spread Moschofilero is in the Peloponnese, especially in Mantineia where the Mantineia PDO wines must contain minimum 85% Moschofilero; none of us should feel shocked about the wide range of wine quality. While almost always at least enjoyable, Moschofilero can give rather insipid wines.  While it resembles the Traminer and Muscat grapes in aroma profile, it does not belong to either grape family. In fact, two opposing theories debate Moschofilero's background. One

  Even though I finally made it to Slovenia a few years ago, I barely got a taste of the wine! Despite the fact that taste wine was mostly all I did for the few days I was there! So when I had the chance to make a big wine order from the US, Slovenian wine was one of the things I looked for. Not only did I find some, I was thrilled that what I found was sparkling! This wine had a crazy journey. From Slovenia to the US to Turkey with how many stops and what kind of conditions along the way. I felt a little trepidatious about

  Disclaimer: This post includes wines received as a sample. All opinions are my own. Some time ago, Midin sent me several of the wines from their new vintage. I previously posted about the white wines so let's crack on now with the rosés! We all know that I have mixed thoughts about rosé wines. While I don't universally love them, I have come around them more over the years. I tend to prefer those with lighter colors, not necessarily because I like a lighter, Provence-style rosé, but because in Turkey, those are the "safer" ones. Many rosés here come in neon or otherwise impossibly pink colors.  Midin's rosés fall into a

  Moldovan wine has been quietly moving into the Turkish wine market for a few years. Unsurprisingly, a fair amount from Purcari. The story of Chateau Purcari mirrors the story of Moldovan wine itself. In 1827 Tzar Nicholas I issued a special decree granting Purcari the status of the first specialized winery in Bessarabia. Run by German immigrants for most of the nineteenth century, the winery first achieved fame in 1878 when a bottle of Negru de Purcari won a gold medal at a Paris exhibition. Chateau Purcari went on to survive nationalization and the Soviets, several wars, and emerged into the new Republic of Moldova pretty much where
