  How many times have I said that I'm not a pink fan? I think for five times I say that, at least two wines semi reverse my opinion! Despite not being a huge fan of it, I do have a rather large collection of rosé in the wine room. Partially because I do attempt to try all the new wines (if not new vintages) that come out here. And also, because I have learned, that as long as the wine isn't electric pink, there's a fair chance that it will be nice. When Akın Gürbüz released his new blush last year, I happily snapped up a bottle. Because a)

  Well March was all miserable and depressing weather. Here's to hoping April remembers that it is an entirely spring month. A few showers here and there perhaps we can tolerate, but we could all use a little more warmth and sun to tackle what we have ahead of us.  What will I - and more importantly you! - be drinking this month? Read on to find out! Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) The freshness of spring (not that we've seen any of that weather) will give you a new perspective this month and help you take risks. One big risk to tackle - speak up for yourself and others, even if

  Papazkarası has been staging a quiet take over. When I first discovered the grape, maybe you could find two or three wines. Now, this ancient blue-black grape variety native to Turkey's upper Thrace abounds and wineries are releasing not just red wines, but also rosés and blanc de noir wines. The name Papazkarası roughly translates to "black of the priest (or) pope". In Greece, the variety is registered as "Kara Papas", although little, if any, Papazkarası wine is produced there. In Turkey, the spelling varies between Papazkarası (with a 'z') and Papaskarası (with an 's'). You can read more about the here! Now that there are so many of these wines

  It sure felt like spring had sprung during the second half of February. Even my crocuses are blooming! But my experience both here and being from a northern state says that we shouldn't get too comfortable yet and that winter may once again rear its cold, snowy head. It likely won't be pretty when it does! Especially not for me as I've already been enjoying wine on my balcony.  What have I been drinking? Well, you'll have to check previous blog posts for that! What will I - and more importantly you! - be drinking this month? Just read on to find out! Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Aquarius, do

  Every year - well every year that I remember - I like to do a quick review of the wines I posted about during the year that I most enjoyed, that most surprised me, etc. So with no further ado, let's jump into my favorite Turkish wines of 2022! My Favorite Sparkling Wines Sparkling wines are always going to be at the tippy top of my list! Not many new sparkling wines were released this year but, even if it were the only one, the Arcadia Pét-Nat Sauvignon Gris would still sit at the top of the tippy top.  Yaşasın is not new but it still makes my list. This year, I

  Happy 2023 to everyone! Who's made a resolution for the new year? Share in the comments below!  I'm not one for resolutions generally but I can tell you one I shall NOT be making and that's dry January. Dry January?! Obviously that's not happening here. Start the year the way you intend to end it; pickled. I already have a few wines lined up for myself for this month. What will you be drinking? Read on to find out! Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Does anyone else silently sing the Aquarius song from Hair when they hear the word? No? Just me

  If a Cabernet Shiraz blend from Akın Gürbüz has a hint of deja vous about it for you, you wouldn't be wrong. The Gürbüz Blend #1 also contains both Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. If I recall correctly the story (which I hope I do!). Blend #1 was, as the name might indicate, the first blend he made. Later, after completing and bottling the blend, Akın repeated the blend. However, it was a separate batch from the first blend. As such, he did not feel comfortable bottling it under the same name because, to him, it was not the same thing and he didn't want to deceive anyone. If

  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! I can't promise any such smooth sailings in your horoscope, but I can promise some nice wine recommendations? How do I manage to do that every month? Must be the plants aligning or some other such nonsense.  Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) November presents you with an opportunity to heal by taking a deep dive into your past to explore how your early childhood experiences have influenced your emotional attachments. This will lead to further

  If you're looking for the perfect wine for this summer, I've got it for you: Gürbüz Mood (the white one!). Trakya-based winemaker Akın Gürbüz offers the Mood series (white, rosé, and red) as his entry level wines. Uncomplicated but delicious, these are fantastic and fruity wines that won't break the bank. For the Gürbüz Mood white, he blended together Sauvignon Blanc and Misket for a delightful fruity and easy wine to enjoy on its own or pair with your favorite light summer meals. I first came across this wine last year and have already enjoyed it again this summer. Regardless of which vintage you might come across, you're
