Turkish Wine with a thread and a wish

Stop by our bottle shop to taste Çal Karası — the grape at the heart of this month's story: the Turkish cousin of Greece's Liatiko grape — in three expressions: a red, a rosé, and a blanc de noir. (And if we can swing it, we're hoping to have a few bottles of Liatiko as well!) Each year on April 23rd something special happens: thousands of people — Christians, Muslims, and nonreligious alike — climb to the highest point of Büyükada, an island near Istanbul, in silence, each carrying a thread and a wish. No tickets, no reservations.
