Points : 9/10 Price : 350 TL Kayra İmperial Öküzgözü 2013 : A beautiful wine I had the pleasure to drink with Andrea Lemieux today. Öküzgözü is one of my favourite Turkish grapevine and Kayra seems to be the best winery to produce it. I had already loved their Kayra Versus Alpagut Öküzgözü. Now this…
CHAMLIJA FELIX CULPA 2014 Pinot Noir
Points : 7,5/10 price : 90 TL Chamlija Felix Culpa “Mutlu hata” Pinot Noir 2014 : when mistakes do great things (Latin Felix Culpa and Turkish Mutlu Hata both mean “happy mistake”).

This 2012 vintage has a velvet texture, is very well balanced and has a light acidity. The nose is full of dark fruits and undergrowth. Once in the mouth this wine is surprisingly fresh…
CHAMLIJA 2015 Albarino
Points : 7/10 Price : Around 60 TL I’ve been wanting to talk about Chamlija Albarino for a long time now. This obviously is the perfect wine to pair with tapas as its Spanish roots suggest but it’s also the perfect wine to pair with spicy Asian cuisines. It resists incredibly well to hot meals…
PORTA CAELI AMENT 2014 Cabernet Franc
Points : 7/10 Price : Around 120/150 TL A couple of months ago I talked to restaurant Zuma’s sommelier and she strongly advised me to taste Porta Caeli Ament Cabernet Franc. I had sipped a glass of the same brand but the Bordeaux blend one and I had really liked it. This Cabernet Franc is…
