  Holy tannins, Batman! Is it possible to be in love with a wine? Well if it is then between Suvla’s Sur and this 2011 Petit Verdot Karasakız I’m cheating on someone. We’ve talked about Petit Verdot and how it’s usually a minuscule 2% added to wines for color effect and how very few wine makers fully utilize the grape. Suvla is one of the wise wine makers that does and its Reserve 2011 Petit Verdot Karasakız is worth the price tag. It’s really a shame that more wine makers don’t use Petit Verdot in a bigger way because it has a really fantastic flavor. Plus the tannins and we know

  I finally found the Suvla store in Cihangir which is both good and bad. Good because the store carries all of Suvla’s wines; bad because I don’t have a steady income and Suvla wines are not inexpensive; but that’s not going to stop me from buying them!

This battle is particularly felt by Australians and New Zealanders and I’ve never met a one visiting Turkey who doesn’t also visit Gallipoli. Hopefully, Gallipoli will be known for happier things as Suvla wines become more well-known and popular! Although the

  Despite my resolve to review whites for the summer I’m moving back to reds. I just really don’t like dry whites under the best of circumstances and I think I’ve finally run out of Miskets. So now it’s back to tannins and red wine hangovers. Suvla wines break my rule about buying “reasonably-priced” wine. The Sur (which I’m trying to find another bottle of so I may properly review it) sets you back about 80TL which is more than I generally pay for wine regardless of which country produces it. However-they’re worth it. They’re so very much worth it. Not being able to locate the Sur, I picked up another
