One of the wines which crossed the Atlantic ocean with me this summer, all the way from Madrid to Nova Scotia! 🇪🇸🇨🇦
This wine is produced with Godello grapes from denomination of origen Valdeorras, in this case it was harvested in 2016, aged on lees. The name "The Orange Republic" comes from the vicinity of the vineyard to the orange orchard. Inside of its the elegant and rich bouquet, it's even possible to smell orange blossoms. For the detailed tasting notes of this wine you can see the post of @fdiezz.
🍛For food pairing, I've prepared risotto with lobster - this time I had a very high quality carnaroli rice from Po Valley of Italy. For the broth I've used lobster, onion, asparagus, carrot and tomato... And of course more onion, white wine and some parmesan went into it during cooking. The result was an al dente and creamy risotto as I was dreaming for! As side dish, one of my fav veggies of the season - juicing carrots. I've boiled them for couple of minutes and sautéd them with some butter and maple syrup. It becomes very crispy.
Cheers! •

How did we get to know Girona in 48 hours? Wandered around the city and see the highlights, took a random street and get lost, walked on the city walls and watched the city, visited the art museum, took a walk by the river, and finally... ate this dessert made by @jordirocasan, which is basically the eatible edition of Girona! #plateddessert #girona •

I knew that it would be unforgettable, but I haven't imagined that far... The dinner in El Celler de Can Roca was beyond my highest expectations.
The best part of the dinner was when we met @joseppituroca. He is so welcoming, kind and humble, along with all his success. When he learned that I am from Turkey, and @fdiezz from Chile, he made us a surprise and paired our following course, squab civet with its parfait, with a Turkish and a Chilean wine. I was just wordless, it meant a lot to me.
I thank all the team of @cellercanroca for hosting us, and to @sherrywinesjerez for this great prize. •

☀️Good morning in Girona☀️
To start a great and sunny day in Girona, all I need was a good coffee! Thanks to the suggestion of @gdylla we had discovered this lovely coffee shop called @espressomafia. If you go there, you'll probably see some cyclists who gave their coffee break, local people who loves good coffee and of course some tourists like me... good atmosphere, good coffee, definitely recommended! 👉For a bigger breakfast @lafabricagirona seems like a great option, unfortunately I didn't have time to go there but it's in my list for the next time! #girona
