La Cave Istanbul – Everything you are looking for
It has been almost thirty years since this story started. And since 1999 it has a unique name of its own; "La Cave: Whole Lotta Wine".
Especially for people who are excited about Turkish Wine, this should be your last stop before you catch your flight back home. In this enlightened cave you can find almost all the wines this land bears. Turkish wines are good, especially the boutique ones. Unfortunately they cannot be found everywhere and to be frank they shouldn’t be that accessible, especially in supermarkets, as these places have no idea how to preserve wine. But that’s another topic.
So if you liked a wine during lunch or dinner and want to consume more or take some back home, have a look at La Cave. Mr. Esat, the wizard, will be your savior. Even if you don’t find what you are looking for (which I doubt), the wizard will suggest other alternatives, which will turn out to be better than what you were looking for in the first place.
So here is a so called cave, but metaphorically it's actually heaven, where you'll find all possible varieties of local and international beverages. It's rack after rack of colorful bottles with lovely shapes. Here beverages find a character and a body to show themselves off. From unity you get creativity in liquids and colors. A canvas of fluids flowing into an embracing cave.
And the rates are so convenient.
