Turkish Wine 101 with Exploring the Wine Glass
Recently I sat down (virtually anyway!) with Lori from Dracaena Wines and Exploring the Wine Glass to talk about Turkish wine. It was such a delight and an honor to talk to have the opportunity!
Exploring the Wine Glass: Turkish Wine 101
When I went through the WSET L2 class, at no point was Turkish wine brought into the conversation.
Quite some time ago, I came across a person on Twitter that I decided to follow because she was always talking about Turkish wine. Through each post, her enthusiasm and passion for the wine showed through and anyone who knows me knows I love to share someone’s passion for wine.
Andrea Lemieux, aka The Quirky Cork, began enjoying wine while she lived in Washington DC, but it wasn’t until she moved to Turkey for a job that she fell in love with it. Join us as she tells me about the long history of wine making in Turkey, teaches me how to pronounce those difficult to pronounce Turkish wine grapes, and why we can’t find these wines in the United States. She also will provide tips of the best places to visit on your next trip to Turkey.
