  What do you get when a popular wine bar and a great winery form a partnership? A whole mess of new wines, that's what! New wines like the Arda Kuşlu Solera Misket. Arda and Solera Solera is one of the longest-lived and successful wine bars in Istanbul. It also happens to be my local! So I have a soft spot for it and for owner Süleyman Er. Imagine my delight to learn that that for some years now he's been cultivating his own vineyards. Süleyman has made some progress towards renovating a 100 year winery on the shores of the Sea of Marmara as well. But for the time being,

  Sultaniye (sool-tan-ee-yeh) is possibly the most commonly grown grape in Turkey. While a perfectly viable vitis vinifera variety, Sultaniye has such high sugar levels that it also works well as a table grape. Turkey stands as one of the world's leading producers of table grapes and raisins but Sultaniye grapes also are used in pekmez (molasses) and rakı production.  Despite not being a popular wine grape, wineries do use it in wine production. This mid-season ripening grape grows primarily in the Aegean region (Denizli and Manisa) and prefers hot climates and clay loam or chalky soils. Berries grow to a medium size, are round, have a bright green color,

  Lent started last week. What are you giving up? Sweets? Coffee? TV? I can tell you what I'm NOT giving up and that's wine. I like to imagine that I'm a semi-devout Catholic but I'm not a crazy person. Well. Probably not. Family history would indicate otherwise but that's a tad off topic. Amongst all the Turkish wineries, Antioche holds a special place for me. Maybe because (while not Catholic) they're also Christian which gives me a different kind of connection with them and their wine? Maybe because I have a wee crush on the incredibly sweet owner and his family? Maybe because they have introduced us to a

  I go to Greece fairly often. It is just kind of next door and two of my best friends live in Athens. Partially for that reason, for almost two years now, I have been taking a once weekly Greek class. I have not learned that much, lazy student as I am. But I'm not learning Greek because I go to Greece frequently. Let's be honest, they all speak English ever so much better than I will every speak Greek. I'm learning the language though, because I like to learn the language of wine countries I love. And I loves me some Greek wine. Knowing this, my Greek teacher very

  I was so excited when the #WinePW 2021 calendar came out and Deanna from Wineivore suggested a Greek wine theme. You can view her initiation for this month's event here. If you can, join us on Twitter on Saturday, December 11 at 8am PT/11am ET and follow the #WinePW hashtag to join our discussion! Next to Turkish wine, I probably know Greek wine the best (which is NOT to say I'm at all an expert!). Yes we're neighbors and we share a few grapes but we don't get a lot of Greek wine in Turkey. However, two of my best friends live in Athens and regular visits over the

  It's December and Christmas is around the corner!! Is your tree up? Mine is and this year it's covered with a new selection of wine label ornaments!
