I tried a sweet white wine from Romania once about 8-9 years ago. It was vintage 1964! It was really good. Tasted like golden raisins mainly.

If you wanna get geeky, technically Zinfandel is an eastern European wine varietal… OK, nevermind.

I don’t think that I have ever had an eastern european wine, I am sorry to say. Sounds like you found a good one!

Thanks for the show! I’m a noob on twitter and wanted to make sure this message got to you. I’ll definitely be seeking out one of these wines for my Croatian family this holiday season.

QOTD: One of these will hopefully be my first.

None, I would like to try. 35 bone for a 93pt type zin is worth the price of admission.

QOTD: I love the Hungarian wine from the secret pack. Such a bannana aroma to it.

QOTD I am assuming Greek wines count so probably a few weeks ago

Sounds like a great wine I will have to see if it is anywhere near me. Great episode

What a great surprise…I think I’ll go find this.

QOTD: Have a bottle of Tomic Plavac in my collection… I’m even more pumped to try it now!

QOTD – a Mandolas 2004 Tokaji Furmint Dry. Very Alsatian-like, floral and honey. I need to find this stuff somewhere local.

QOTD: I was in Croatia earlier this year, including on Hvar. I tried two Plavac, both at a similar price point to the one you tried, but both times was very underwhelmed. Found them bitter and harsh. While in the region I also tried a Vranac from Montenegro and a Bosnian Chardonnay, both of which I enjoyed.

Really nice episode, so suprised of the last two wines. Definitly try to grab one of those.

QOTD: Only had Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos Blue Label 2000 but what a nice bottle of sweet and complex wine.

QOTD: Used to buy some Hungarian reds for my boss, who enjoyed sweet red wines, but I didn’t have any for myself, so no, I don’t have a favorite wine from Eastern Europe.

Gary…Why so down on the 90’s Bulls? Give us a break in Chicago, it was the only team that did anything here in the 90’s. Great show. QOTD: None, but after this show, I plan on trying some.

[QOTD] Does Hungary count? I remember having a wine that, translated, was called Bull’s Blood. It was pretty robust, but not very refined.
