Points : 7,5/10 Price : Around 80 TL One very good wine made by Suvla wines. Grapes used : Syrah, Cinsault and Pinot Noir give a very Rhone style wine. It was perfect with a truffle risotto😍
Blue cheese
The Turkish Roquefort with the texture of Parmesan is something unique. Perfect with a sweet white like Arcadia 333 or even a Chamlija Riesling 2015!!! You can find at Ecevitler cheese store at Kadıköy market in Istanbul.
Urla Tempus 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot Petit Verdot Cabernet Franc Syrah
Points : 6,5/10 Price : Around 120 TL Produced by the famous (in Turkey but also in the States) Urla winery, this Bordeaux blend-wanna-be is not what you’d think but is quite enjoyable.

Umurbey Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Points : 8/10 Price : Around 85 TL Umurbey Sauvignon Blanc 2016 : it’s like a gourmandise! Exotic and rich, flavourful and generous! Aromas of peach, lemon and lichee take possession of your palate and stay for quite long in your mouth. Good with some Mediterranean salad or a sea bass with rosemary. But I…
Chamlija Viognier 2015
Points : 8/10 Price : the 2016 costs around 75 TL Chamlija… yes, again. It’s not my fault if they do very interesting wines! For example this Viognier. I’ve never been a big fan of this grape. I’ve never really appreciated the French Condrieu, never understood it. It’s only in New Zealand that my interest…
