One day in Kos

One day in Kos!

We were in Kos just for one day but we had pleasure in every single moment. With my friend Gözde, first we had greek frappe in center then we rented a motobike and we went up to the village called ZİA which is famous for having the best traditional greek tavernas and a fantastic view.

In Kos I found a white wine from Santorini island. The name of this wine comes from the way of making it. Harvest in the afternoon gives to the wine name NYKTERİ which means "staying up all night" in greek. Wine has  sparkling body, fresh and fruit taste.

Nykteri 

mix of Assyrtiko, Athiri, aidani grapes

Şarap tadında Paris

mousse au chocolat ve pembe şarap

O Chateau, harika bir mahzen, farklı bir çok ülkeden gelmiş şarap tutkunları ile birlikte fransız şarapları üzerine workshop.

Center Pompidou, contemporary love

La Perle 

Bir yıl önce tam bu zamanlar.
Paris sokaklarındayım.
Bu sefer Le Marais bölgesinde. Balkonu, Center Pompidou müzesini çevreleyen renkli dev borulara bakan küçük bir stüdyo.
 Sabahları sokağın başındaki pastanede içtiğim kahve ve kruvasanlar, birkaç sokak ileride akşam üzerileri harika Kir kokteylleri içtiğimiz Bar La Perle. Her öğün farklı şaraplar tadabildiğim yerel restoranlar ve muhteşem şarap tadım workshop'u.
1 hafta boyunca Paris'de şarap için yapılan geziler, tadımlar ve workshop.

Je t'aime Paris!
