Ottoman Istanbul, as it does today, had a street vendor for every occasion from a humble serving off water to some of the most elaborate candy.

Do happy to see @parmieuxwineadventures words featured on @culinarybackstreets about one of my favourite topics: #wine #turkishwinematters #Repost @culinarybackstreets with @get_repost ・・・ Turkish wine gets a bad rap, but that's often because what you'll find in restaurants and bars in Istanbul is barely drinkable or, if it's good, exorbitantly priced. But all that's changing. Wine expert @parmieuxwineadventures writes about four more casual bars and restaurants in Istanbul that offer some of the best wines in the country at relatively affordable prices.

Istanbul wasn’t the only capital of empires. Turkey’s Antakya is one of the earliest Christian landscapes. And just as ancient is their #winemaking traditions. @antioche.vineyard not only continues that tradition, but is very seriously revitalizing the wine culture that was once so ubiquitous in the region (85% of their production is drunk within Hatay. 85%. Yep). Their point of pride, however, is the #barburi - a grape from which locals and the founder’s grandparents used to make wine, but was currently used for the likes of juice and molasses. An endless expression of gratitude and thanks goes to the thoughtful and charming team who welcomed us with opens arms (and one of the best lunches to date). . . . . @antioche.vineyard @parmieuxwineadventures @gaya_oenologie #istanbites #winesofinstagram #winery #antakya #antioche #antiochia #hatay #tepsikebabı #barburi #wine #türkşarapları #şarap #winesofturkey #turkishwines #winesofinstagram #wineenthusiast #turkishwinematters
