I guess while we were preparing our third menu, the first Merzifon Karasi wine of Likya Wines, from the 2015 vintage, came to us. We knew Likya with its wide range of wines, especially Acikara. Merzifon Karasi was a wine that made us even more excited because this grape was bottled for the first time. We did not know then that we would feel similar excitement for Fersun from Likya a few years later.<\/p>\n

Tayyar Bey, Merzifon Karas\u0131\u2019n\u0131 yeniden hayata ge\u00e7irmeye ba\u015f koymu\u015f bir \u00fcz\u00fcm neferi.
