I’ve never had one, but thanks for introducing us to the Croatian wines. I’ll be on the lookout for them.

Gary,

Nice to see you discovering the beauty of Croatian wines. Zlatan is one of the top wine makers, try also the Plavac from the premier cru vineyard Dingac across the sea of the Island of Hvar. Croatia also has excellent Malvasia from Kozlovic and Grasevina made by Enjingi.

How do I know? We happen to carry these and other fine wines from Eastern Europe. Check us out: Blue Danube Wine Company.

Best east bloc wine? Man, it has been years! How many years, you ask? Let’s put it this way, I paid less than $20 for a case of Ceausescu era Romanian red. I can’t recall the name but I do recall that it was HARSH. Hey, I was a grad student. Of course, most of us have dabbled in a bottle of Hungarian Bull’s Blood but…..

QOTD: I’ve had a Bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon a while back. I remember it being a little light, probably not as thunderous as the Plavac.

Good to hear about other areas in the world, other than the obvious, bringing the thunder.

Awesome!

Haven’t seen you that pumped over a wine in weeks. Great show! Ostrich? Awesome.

QOTD: None but inspired to change that soon.

P.S. Great getting a chance to meet you last weekend! Thanks again for coming out.

QOTD: Yes yes and yes!!! (I know it wasn’t a yes-no question) My fav was a Plavac (but they said from the island of Brac). This croatian wine rocked my world just like this one did yours (although I had no idea what the price was). I sent you a picture of the label. (sorry I didn’t get the back). Anyways, thank you SOOOO much for doing a Croatia show!! I knew it’d be worth it! (going to buy book and schwag like i promised now.) =)

Hey Ridge Geyserville is 30 dollars. so why not 35 for a super high quality Croatian wine.. probably made frm very low yieldss..ect.. flying winemaker?

My Favorite Eastern European wines are Tokaji, both dry and sweet, but also some excellent Slovenian wines.. is greece considered eastern europe .. or med..?

Is Austria considered Eastern Europe? I had a few good Gruner Veltliners this summer.

Did we just see a wine that will be in the next edition of Gary V’s “101 Wines”?
QOTD: My roommate and I found this super-inexpensive 1984 Romanian Pinot Noir in the early ’90s and went through a case or two of it.

Hey Gary et al

Great show as usual – I like when you do something a little off the beaten path and when you have an audience or a guest.

QOTD : Haven’t had any Eastern European wines, but I’ll be seeking them out after seeing this show ! Thanks for the enlightenment.
