  Well, we've made it one month into the new year. Hopefully we all made it through relatively unbruised. Now, as we head into the darkest of winter (or the hellish depths of summer depending on where you are!) we more than ever need some good news and good wine to cheers us, warm (or cool!) us, and give us the courage to soldier on.  So, what does this month have in store for each of us? Read on to find out! Aries (March 21 - April 19) February asks you to slow your roll just enough to aim better. You’re still driven, but this month is about strategy over speed. A

  My adventures with Turkish wine importer, Fine Turkish Wine, continue! Well at least the writing of them does, the adventures themselves ended in November. And it's taking ever so much longer to write about these visits than it took to make them! After two days in Trakya (aka Thrace), visiting first Arcadia, then Arda and Gürbüz Winery we headed for the Aegean.  First stop, Kuzubağ! Kuzubağ  Kuzubağ Şaraphane is one of the new generation wineries working to raise the profile of the Çal region. More than just a member of the Çal Bağ Yolu, Kuzubağ is (in my considerable opinion), the best of them. A family-run affair, the Kuzu family

  Cooler temperatures and grey skies mean that it is time to get cozy with warm sweaters and big wines! I used to like really full-bodied, tannic reds with lush fruit flavors when I wanted something for cold weather days. These days, though, I find these wines over-blown and too "in your face". I vastly prefer a medium-bodied red with more moderate tannins and a savory-earthy forward flavor profile. All our tastes change throughout the years. While I used to love Cabernet Sauvignon, I'd be happy to never again see another bottle of it.  What's your go-to comfort wine? Will the universe bring you something this month that will challenge

  Iranian food meets Turkish wine? How often does this happen? Hopefully more and more often now if this Bitter & Sweet pairing inspires anyone! My friend Lorraine introduced me to The Caspian Chef some time ago. She tangentially knows him through a cousin and thought I would appreciate his style. I immediately fell in love with his recipes and way of cooking. So, when his cookbook, Bitter & Sweet came out, she got it for me. Apparently, The Caspian Chef - otherwise known as Omid Roustaei - and Lorraine's cousin 'do enjoy a wine of an evening' (imagine you're hearing this delivered in my friend's plummy British accent). So,

  If August's beautiful weather was anything to go by, we're headed for a cooling down as autumn approaches in September. I even opened a red wine the other night! While September technically still (mostly) belongs to the season of summer, there is something of the promise of the changing season about it that is delightful.  Changing seasons, and hopefully the accompanying cooler weather, also add a sense of energy to the world. Energy brings both good and bad vibes though. Fingers crossed we're all in for good vibes - and good wines! - this month. Read on to find out what is in store for you. As always, "the universe"

  Mother of Zeus it is HOT. Why is it so hot? Once again, I do not understand summer people.  It's so hot that I cannot think of a cute way to open this month's horoscope. I offer only a wish that you're all surviving, hydrating, and have working refrigerators for your wine! Aries (March 21 - April 19) Ok Aries, here comes August—aka the month where your main hobby becomes fighting the sun with your bare hands and pretending you're not tired of everyone's vacation photos. Spoiler: you are. This month, your natural go-getter energy is peaking. Translation: you’ll start 12 new projects, abandon 9, finish 2, and forget 1 existed until

  Congratulations, you’ve made it to June — the halfway point of the year, where to-do lists meet beach days, and productivity wrestles with balcony lounging. This is the season of long evenings, spontaneous road trips, and discovering that yes, sunscreen should have been applied 20 minutes ago. June is that magical time when the mangal is always hot, your calendar is suddenly full, and everyone starts pretending they’ve always liked rosé Whether you’re chasing big dreams, weekend naps, or just the ice cream truck, this month brings the perfect blend of chaos and charm. So grab your wine glasses and get ready — June’s here, and it has some new wine recommendations

  Spring has officially sprung! Sure, the temperature dropped a bit there in March, but (knock on wood) we seem firmly settled into spring now. I don't especially have a green thumb. That does not stop me from gardening though and I am full on into it. April showers bring May flowers and all that. I'm thinking of buying a grow lamp for the darker rooms in my apartment. Do you like to garden? What are your favorite things to do when that fresh smell of spring fills the air?  April can be a beautiful month, especially with the tulip festival coming soon! But spring is a harsh season. Rebirth

  It might be the shortest month of the year, but you'd never guess with everything that February has in store! Of course there's pressure from many to make a big deal out of Valentine's Day for your partner. And then of course the pressure many singletons feel over having no one with whom to celebrate the day. We should all take a beat and remember the day commemorates a saint who was tortured then murdered as a martyr. So
