Price : 90 TL Likya Winery Collection Pinot Meunier 2014 : I hesitated to put that wine on my list. I’m not a fan but still let’s have some respect for the people who decided to take the risk to make wine from Pinot Meunier. This grape is almost always used to produce champagne. Associated…

Points : 9/10 Price : 160 TL at Macro center but 125 TL at the winery This is not by coincidence that I chose the personnage with a moustache on that bottle as my logo. This Bordeaux blend made of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc is one of my favourite Turkish red wines. The…

Points : 8/10 Price : 90 TL Yedi Bilgeler Phytagoras Reserve 2013 : This blend made with Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot is very enjoyable.
