Pop-Up Restaurant Istanbul is back at it again, this time with an Edrine & Food Pairing night with an emphasis on some delicious wines paired with tasty treats. As usual, it’s RSVP only and seats are likely to fill quickly. Set for Saturday 6 May at 20:30, the evening’s courses are 130 TL with attendees encouraged to bring their own bottles. For a bit more insight into what deliciousness can be expected, check out our previous review of the pop-up experience.
From the organizer:
Our recent visit to the Edrine winery brought forth amazing wines. It’s a family run vineyard producing high quality wines at reasonable prices. Several bottles and lots of good food later the winery offered to sponsor the tasting part of this event. Your contribution covers the food and extra bottles once the pairing part is complete. Edrine winery has also offered us rock bottom prices for their wines until the end of May. You can put in your order directly with us here or at the event. The price range per bottle is between 20-23 lira plus VAT. We can also look forward to our Sommelier Andrea Lemieux talk us through each tasting. Drink, food and knowledge is a wonderful combination.
