The event is actually divided into two parts: Master Class and Walking Around Tasting. In Walking Around Tasting, you can visit the booths of the wine producers and taste the wine you want and ask the questions you are curious about. I think it is a pleasure to have access to many wines that you cannot find in the market widely. In the Master Class, Isa Bal and Matt Wilkin, the world famous Master Sommelier, make their own selections by making blind taste evaluations among the wines offered.<\/p>\n<p>When you enter the event, you are given a booklet and a pen with the wines exhibited at the stands. The aim here is to taste wines rather than drinking wine\u2026 but be careful otherwise, tasting may lose its purpose after somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>The prepared booklet was really successful. You can not only write wine names, but you can also find detailed information about the properties of the wine (grapes, yield, pH, sugar ratio, type and duration of the barrel). This guides you. The way I followed was to understand which producer is where and the order of the wines (champagne, white, rose, red) rather than entering the field and tasting the wines immediately. Afterwards, I examined the booklet in my hand and planned which wines to taste. This was a very effective way. When you make a tasting without taking notes, you can mix and forget what are the wines you try and which ones you like.<\/p>\n<p>I am starting to list the wines I recommend without further ado:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1648 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.foodlifeculture.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Clarendelle-Rouge-2014.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodlifeculture.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Clarendelle-Rouge-2014.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.foodlifeculture.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Clarendelle-Rouge-2014-276x300.jpg 276w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Clarendelle Rouge<\/strong>: An enjoyable wine with an easy-to-drink coupage, medium tannin and acidic, bodied, red fruits and blackberries in the nose, with a 13% alcohol content, with a mix of 67% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Souvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc from Bordeaux vineyards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><strong><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1650 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.foodlifeculture.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Nif-Ba\u011flar\u0131-Men-Shiraz-2013.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"196\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodlifeculture.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Nif-Ba\u011flar\u0131-Men-Shiraz-2013.jpg 464w, https:\/\/www.foodlifeculture.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Nif-Ba\u011flar\u0131-Men-Shiraz-2013-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/strong><\/b><strong>Nif Vineyards Montepulciano &amp; Shiraz:<\/strong> Although shiraz grapes do not suit my taste, I can say that it has a good harmony with Montepulciano. The tanned and fullness of Shiraz grapes seems to be balanced with the velvety feature of Montepulciano. This wine consists of 60% Montepulciano and 40% Shiraz grapes from the 2016 harvest of the Kemalpa\u015fa vineyards. There are notes of coffee and spices on the nose and the tannin structure made from Shiraz grapes makes you feel. A light sweetness is present in wine. It has a slightly more acidic structure than Clarendelle Rouge. Since Montepulciano is my favorite grape.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1651 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.foodlifeculture.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Shiluh-Manast\u0131r.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"196\" height=\"130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.foodlifeculture.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Shiluh-Manast\u0131r.jpg 591w, https:\/\/www.foodlifeculture.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Shiluh-Manast\u0131r-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><strong>Shiluh Monastery<\/strong>: This wine of 2016, made from 100% Diyarbakir Bogazkere, is one of those that surprised me at the event\u2026 It has a 13% alcohol rate.

The world famous Master Sommelier Ronn Wiegand made by the tasting over 100 wines that have managed to get 92 points perhaps to a place of its own in the coming years as Turkey&#8217;s best grapes. Cherry and blackberry on the nose, chocolate on the palate.
