  Merlober is in the rearview mirror so we can get back on with wine that isn't Merlot this month! So far (knock on wood) it's been a rather beautiful autumn. Hopefully things continue that way!

  Way back when I first visited Antioche in Hatay, they told me that one of the grapes they grew was Barburi Blanc. I was already familiar with Barburi from their wines. Antioche uses it in two varietal dry wines, in a red blend, and as a semi-sweet wine. But Barburi Blanc? Fast-forward several years now and the Barburi Blanc has arrived! This is no blanc de noir like the blanc de noir Papazkarası craze that's hit the country. This is a white version of the Barburi that we know and love. It could also be your new favorite summer white. Antioche Barburi Blanc de Blancs, 2021 Cool, pale lemon shot through

  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

  From Çalkarası to Fersun, these emerging grapes should be on your radar. An hour and a half drive from Antalya along Turkey’s Mediterranean coast, Likya Şarapları sits in the Taurus Mountains high above Antalya’s Elmalı district. The winery has made a name for itself with wine made from popular grapes both domestic and international. But what really excites the Özkan family, owners of the winery, is Acıkara. Knowing that their region has a very old wine history, the Özkans reasoned that there must have been native grapes there before. They began to research the area and learned, through local shepherds, of a large grapevine growing wild where they grazed their

  One of Turkey’s most popular culinary traditions is that of rakı balık. Literally translated as rakı fish, this is the great tradition that comes from the Turkish meyhane, or tavern. Rakı is a grape spirit-based, anise-infused liquor similar to Greece’s ouzo and Lebanon’s arak. In Turkey, this drink, served over ice and diluted with water, accompanies traditional fish and small bite meze. While a modern tradition, and no offense to those who love the rakı balık, the heavy anise flavor of rakı doesn’t really go with a lot of foods. It’s time to make room on the meze table for wine. In my last article, Pairing Turkish Wines with

  For this month's Wine Pairing Weekend, Nicole at Somm's Table invited us to write about wines from the ancient world. People often forget to include Turkey, which in fact is the home of the vitis vinifera grape, when talking about ancient and old world wine cultures. In fact though, it has one of the most ancient of wine cultures. When Christians hear the name, Antioch, it evokes images if Saints Peter and Paul preaching the Good News to early Christians. Historians may muse on the lives of early civilizations like the Hittites and those that came before. Modern Turks (and the rest of us who live here!) think of
