  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. In this region, our first stop was Kuzubağ, then we went on to Heraki, and then on to Kastro Tireli which hosted a mega tasting for us.  Kastro Tireli It's been many years since I last visited Kastro Tireli, and I'm glad we were following José. I vividly recall

  The Lidya Antik Bağ Rotası, the newest of Turkey's wine route, has really come out of the gate at full speed with thoughtful branding, a slick website, an active social media presence, and special events. A couple weeks ago I attended a dinner hosted by the wine route. The guests were a quirky mix of winery owners and winemakers, marketing specialists, wine bar owners, social media wine influences, journalists, and somehow, me.

  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

  [caption id="attachment_18442" align="alignleft" width="300"] As it first looked[/caption] I first learned about the Sobran Bağları Emir at one of the Gusto Bar wine events in Istanbul. It's appearance at the event was remarkable for several reasons but the most eye-catching was the wine's color. It appeared a very pale pink! With the intention of both drinking it myself and using it in wine tastings, I contacted the winery and ordered half a case. The wine duly arrived but, when I opened the box, I did not see the pale pink wine I remembered. The wine shone a bright yellow. I reached out to ask if there had been a mistake

  No blind tasting for today, huzzah! That gives my brain a little bit of a break. If you read the title and thought to yourself: Sobran? Where in Piemonte is that? Well the answer is that it's not. In Piemonte. Nor is it in Valle d'Aosta nor in Lombardia or anywhere else in Italy. Sobran Bağları is a Turkish winery based in Alaşehir in the Aegean. This 2018 vintage was not only the winery's first release of Nebbiolo, but the first in Turkey. Sobran Bağları Nebbiolo, 2018 A family-run winery, Sobran Bağları started planting in 2007 eventually expanding from a small vineyard to 31 hectares that include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Öküzgözü,
