Groovy show! I liked that you seemed to slow down a little and spend a little more time with each wine. Lately it seems like you have been rushing through the shows a little bit. Of course, ya gotta get to the airport to see the Jets game!

QOTD – never had one, but as a huge zinfandel fan, I really want to find that Plavac. Seek it, stock it, and we will buy it!

QOTD:I had an amazing ribolla gialla from Slovenia, but I can’t remember the name of it! I remember that it was a 2004 vintage.

why is this a good day to comment hmmmm?! You already did the free shipping yesterday dude. I call shenanigans!!!

QOD: can’t remember the varietal but I did pick up a Hungarian red from WL last year for fun. I think it was a Vylyan zweigelt or pinot noir. Very acceptable.

ttyl GV!

Spent a week in Dubrovnik in 1984. Beautiful walled city built by the Venitians 1200 years ago. The streets (stone) in the walled city were shinyom the 1200 years of foot traffic (other than delivery and service vehicles, no moter traffic). Fabulous! In 1984, the wines, not so much.

QOTD: None that I considered good, but then again none for 24 years.

A white from Istria (Istra)? Nope, not usually a good idea. Slovonia is the home of pleasant whites. Istria is for CabSauv and Plavac!

QOTD — best Eastern European wine was a home made red field blend my wife’s uncle made (a farmer near Zagreb)

And GV — there are good bargains in Croatia if you can search them out!

QOTD: have had a few from Romania that were so so and a few from Croatia, but nothing that stood out…what a great find!

Your right, that would be an excellent placement for a restaurant wine list looking to expand into territory that other lists do not.
