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.

QOTD: None from Croatia

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

I luv it when u go crazy over a wine GV. I hope Ian can get that Zin and let us know when we can order it. Hope to see you this Saturday.

QOTD: I forget what it was. But I do drink wine. ;-D

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..?

QOTD: None

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.) =)

QOTD: Croatia – Who knew?
Congratulations Jets!

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!

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…..

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.

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

Really fun episode to watch — awesome to see you get excited, bring a bit of a smile to the face.

QotD: None.

QOTD: never had one. Looks like I need to try some. ya know….expand the palate.

But next time I’m at a wine shop i’ll see what they have, I’m always down for something different.

i am kinda happy for everyone on this one. usually these kinda shows fall flat. it looks though that you found a diamond in the rough. the moments i guess we are happy to find when searching out new things
qotd – i haven’t had that many, so none really

QotD: None!!

QOTD: None… but maybe soon.

Wow, looks like that last one really brought the thunder! I might have to try and find an E Europe wine.

Croatian wine…who knew?!?! Could be a fun place to travel to though.
