  I like Sevilen. Yes, it's one of Turkey's larger wineries and makes a slightly eye-popping amount of wine every year. But most of their wine is pretty solid. And I think that the winemaker, Sibel, is a rock star. The biggest argument I've always had with Sevilen is the less than top billing native grapes receive. Sure, Sevilen puts out some native grape wine, but not generally as part of the higher quality category. An exception has been the Plato series which included three wines: Kalecik Karası, Öküzgözü, and a Syrah-Öküzgözü. But no white wines. Until finally

  Well we had a nice three-day spring before summer dropped on us like a ton of bricks. Hopefully none of us have anything serious or strenuous that we need to deal with this month because it's going to be hot!

  We don't talk a great deal about the ageability (or not) of white wine in Turkey. Frankly we don't talk a great deal about the ageability of any wine. Difficult to do really since it's largely all speculation. Most wineries with serious history behind them have not kept wine libraries. In fact, the largest collection of aged wine (wine in general, I think) is in private hands. Wineries, now realizing the importance of keeping old vintages of their wine, are buying wine back from him.  [caption id="attachment_13709" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Likya's vineyards in the Taurus Mountains[/caption] And yet, I'm relatively sure there are any number of grapes, if not necessarily yet

  It's been absolutely ages since I did a wine bar review! A few months ago, a friend brought 316 Meze & Wine to my attention and we finally got around to checking it out. So, here we are again with a new wine bar review! Tucked away in Nişantaşı, around the corner from the American Hospital (possibly a strange but utterly unmissable landmark), is the new-ish 316 Meze & Wine. They're making great use of the small space they have here with high tables and stools that aren't nearly as uncomfortable as they look. The shiny, modern tables and stools echo all the shiny metals in the sparkling clean

  Some years ago, when I visited Ma'Adra, they told me that they were growing Bornova Misketi. It would not be until a few years later that they were able to release their first wine with it. Bornova Misketi went though something of a dry revolution. While sweet wines did not completely disappear, they certainly lost ground as many wineries switched to or make exclusively dry wines with the grape. Now, however, we're seeing sweet Bornova Misketi, mostly semi-sweet and off-dry wines, slowly creep back in. Personally, I love a sweet wine at any sweetness level. But, for people who are cautious about whether or not they'll like sweet wines,

  Disclaimer: This post includes wines received as a sample. All opinions are my own. It's that time of the year again when wineries have begun (or have already!) bottled their early release 2022 wines. Midin once again kindly sent me some of their new releases to try*. This is Midin's third vintage and I have enjoyed seeing how the wines have changed since the winery's freshman vintage. It is especially interesting, as this Assyrian winery works with some varieties that few have ever heard of. I am still thrilled that my piece about them was posted on Jancis Robinson's website! You can read that here.   [metaslider id="19044"] Another thing that makes Midin
