More information on of Kazakhstan flavors

Kazakhstan is a large transcontinental country: the vast majority of its territory is in Asia, but its western extremities cross into Eastern Europe. Although wine production is very Old, vodka is the main alcoholic drink. Covering more than 2. 7 million square kilometers (over one million square miles), it is the ninth largest country in the world.

It is also the largest landlocked country, as the Caspian Sea is technically a vast lake rather than a sea (as its name suggests). Kazakhstan's many neighbours include the Turkish states of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan, which border its southern border, while AzerbaijanLies on the other side of the Caspian Sea. Its northern and eastern borders are dominated by the vastness of Russia and China. From the Caspian Sea coast in the west to the Altay Mountains in the east, Kazakhstan stretches nearly 3,000 kilometers (1,850 miles), a distance greater than that between London and Moscow.

Countries of this Size are naturally subject to significant climatic and topographical variations within their borders. Kazakhstan is no exception. Its southwest corner is dominated by the deserts of Central Asia. To the northeast are the cooler, greener plains of western Siberia.

Walls: Gigondas 2013 and 2014 – time to drink up?

I clearly remember the summer of 2014 in the Rhône. We were there on holiday, staying not far from the hill of Hermitage. It rained incessantly, I got tonsillitis and we had to rush our two-year-old son to hospital with a severed thumb. It wasn’t the best holiday we’ve ever had. That wet summer of 2014 also made an indelible impression on the wines. The 2013 vintage wasn’t without its challenges either – it was certainly unlucky for some. Positioned between the excellent 2012 and 2015, the 2013s ...
