  This month, Camilla of Culinary Adventures with Camilla issued a CSA challenge to the #WinePW group. You can read her invitation here. The challenge - pair any wine with seasonal vegetables that you would receive in a CSA box or find at a farmer's market. I picked up that gauntlet as the perfect opportunity to finally cook something special for the bottle of Dracaena Wines Chenin Blanc I've been saving.  And I felt ever so peased to do so. Whether or not you wrote a blog for the theme, please do join the #WinePW Twitter chat group on Saturday, 13 August at 8 am EST/ 11 CST! Follow the

  It's summer. It's hot. Unless of course you live in the southern hemisphere but, if you do, you're probably dreaming of summer now! These days, most of us are probably reaching for a cold white or rosé wine or even a light-bodied, chilled red wine. But pairing wine with a meal? Cooking?! What's that in this heat. Forget about it! This weekend, the #WinePW crew will be talking about their favorite way to beat the heat: Linda from My Full Wine Glass has invited us to share our favorite summertime wine and easy bites. You can read her invitation here. Whether or not you wrote a blog post for

  For this month's Wine Paired Weekend event, Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm, has invited us to explore new to us wines and grapes. My new to me grape, the Greek variety, Asproudi. Every time I go to Greece, I try to hunt down new to me grapes. I love me some Assyrtiko and Malagousia. But you can't spend your whole life drinking just two grapes! And I've barely scratched the surface of what Greece has to offer. Sometimes I pre-order wines and have them delivered to my friends. But I love to browse in shops. One of my favorites is Alfa Sigma Wine in Syntagma

  Quick, what's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about sparkling wine? I could take a few guesses. But I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that none of those things are: Turkey, Central Anatolia, or Kalecik Karası. Unless you happen to be a fan of my blog. In which case, hi mom! Whether or not these are things that pop into your mind when you think about sparkling wine, all three things are related to it. And for this month's #WinePW Bubbles From Around the World conversation, they're what I'm talking about. If anyone thought of those three things, it was Ardıç

  This year, I get the honor of kicking of the #WinePW 2022 calendar with a celebration of bubbles from around the world! For this month's theme, it does not matter if your bubbles are traditional method, tank method, or otherwise. If it fizzes it's fair game! Stick to a classic like Champagne, Franciacorta, Prosecco, or Cava

  I was so excited when the #WinePW 2021 calendar came out and Deanna from Wineivore suggested a Greek wine theme. You can view her initiation for this month's event here. If you can, join us on Twitter on Saturday, December 11 at 8am PT/11am ET and follow the #WinePW hashtag to join our discussion! Next to Turkish wine, I probably know Greek wine the best (which is NOT to say I'm at all an expert!). Yes we're neighbors and we share a few grapes but we don't get a lot of Greek wine in Turkey. However, two of my best friends live in Athens and regular visits over the

  It's Merlober! What else could the #WinePW group be exploring this month than that most divisive of grapes, Merlot? This month's host Jeff from Food Wine Click!, invitation post invited us all to join in the #MerlotMe celebration and sing the praises of this grape. You can read his invitation here. Join us on Saturday, October 9 at 8am PST / 11am EST / 6pm Istanbul time and join the discussion! Just follow the #WinePW hashtag on Twitter. The Bordeaux varieties are big in Turkey. While I do not know statistics on how much vineyard area is given over to any particular grape, I do know that they are some

  For August's #WinePW event, host Gwendolyn from The Wine Predator, has invited us to explore amphora aged wines from around the world. You can view her invitation here. If you're reading this early enough, whether you write about amphora-aged wines or not, please feel free to join our Twitter discussion on August 14 at 8am CST / 11am EST / 6pm GMT+3. Based on every archeological and history museum I've ever visited, pottery is the most commonly found, left behind by previous civilizations item. It's the old museum bait and switch

  This month, Linda from My Full Wine Glass has challenged the #WinePW group to find those 'difficult' to pair foods. You can read her invitation post here. We'll be chatting about this on Twitter on June 12 at 11 am EST / 8 am CST / 6 pm Istanbul. Whether or not you wrote a post for the event join us! See what creative pairings the group came up with and chime in with your discoveries! For some people (myself included) any pairing brings on insecurity and nervous sweats. I do not like food pairing. And yes, I see the irony in being part of not one, not two,
