This morning Gulzhan from the catalkoy shop went out and did a bit of shopping on her own
She knows i enjoy the Carmenere Grape variety very much,it is possible many of you have never tried this wine
So she bought a couple of bottles from a local supermarket
Bless her cotton socks,for thinking about me !
She hid the bill from me !
When i saw the bill i almost had a heart attack
38 tl a bottle almost,ouchhh ! Was it good,Well it was a Carmenere,Most Carmenere Reserva are good,but id of rather had 3 bottles of my own for what she paid for the 1 bottle !
i said you could of given me 3 bottles of our Carmenere for the price you just paid for 1 bottle !
so that got me to thinking that i would offer people the chance to taste Carmenere for 2 days,monday and tuesday
Then wednesday and Thursday we will let you taste a beautiful Shiraz, which will cost you 10 tl a bottle always instead of 13.99
The reserva carmenere will cost you14 tl a bottle always and not 18 tl, and it's a Reserva not a Varietal
Every 2 days we will be tasting a different wine which will then be always offered to our customers at always discounted prices.
Remember now, cut out that middle middle middleman and save yourself a small fortune
Unless that is your billy big spudz and got money to give away
Always buy direct from the importer if you can

So for 2 days you can come and taste the signature grape of chile "Carmenere" Catalkoy shop or Alsancak
It really is a beautiful wine
And for those of you who do like a more full bodied wine,this could be to your taste.
South America has a grand tradition of adopting—and then adapting—classic Bordeaux grape varieties: Both Malbec and Carmenere are former staples of France's storied southwest region that got transplanted south of the equator in the 19th century. And boy, did they thrive! Malbec is now predominantly Argentinean, with a sizable fan base. (It doesn't hurt that Malbec is not too pricey, a wine that people bring to a dinner party when they feel they've discovered something that they want to share.) Its lesser-known and less-tannic cousin, Carmenere, currently calls Chile "home."Malbecs are known for being dark-colored, thick on the palate, and full of black-fruit notes, but I think Carmenere's flavor profile and body are in some ways more adaptable to modern dining habits than Malbec's.
To compare it to two other well-known grapes, Carmenere is a bit softer than Cabernet Sauvignon and a touch gamier than Merlot in the flavor department. Red fruit (raspberries, red currants, and the like) and spice are usually Carmenere's dominant notes, with a plush, mouth-filling feel when it's done right.
The Best Grape Story Of all time
