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

QOTD: None

There are many formats for the show that I like, but the exploratory shows are fantastic. The fact that you can ‘blindly’ choose some wines from an inobscure wine country, and pull out great/solid wines is simply incredible!

QOTD: A dry Tokaji from Hungary (maybe not technically E. Europe, but in my book they’re next door neighbors)

QOTD: None…nope…nada.

QOTD: None, Nada, Zero is my Hero!!! Never had wines from Eastern Europe but that won’t stop me from trying one just asap………………… 🙂

“I’ll have what (s)he’s having” — When Harry Met Sally

That’s what I was thinking while watching this episode. Now, how do we get that wine?

QOTD: Eastern Europe? Does Israel count? If so, I’d go with the Segal Cab you reviewed awhile back. I love that stuff.

Great show, as always.

Cheers!

QotD: I hung out with a Croatian guy in high school and drank some of his Dad’s wine once…but I’ll be damned if I remember anything about it!

I’m here to say none.

QOTD- None yet. I’ll have to try some soon.

one of the best shows i’ve seen in a while, good to see you that happy GV

QOTD: never had an Eastern European wine.

I have really enjoyed Bibich Grenache 2004, I’m all over Croatia like a cheap suit. Some great wines coming out of there.

QOTD: Haven’t really had any eastern europe wine yet. Will be on the look out for your 3rd wine though.

QOTD: Never had a Eastern European Wine. Need to get some.

Great Show!

QOTD: I cant remember names of wine I have had from over there….was b4 I started caring about what I drank.

yo, GV. I was promised a swag pak and have not recieved it yet. This was from well over a month ago prolly close to 2 months ago. Just see’n if it is coming. The wife says she wants a sniffy sniff wrist band.

take care man!!

QOTD: none… yet

Are you just switching things up or is this permanent? This is the second episode in a row that you dropped the “whether they like it or not.”
QOTD: I’ve had some great Austrian wines, can’t remember their names.

QOTD: None.

QOTD: I haven’t yet been able to try any wines from eastern Europe, but after this show I will be seeking them out.

BTW been watching your show for over a year and I have to say it is by far the most entertaining show that I watch on the internet. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Heh heh. Funny thing is Gary, it was my first Croatian wine that I had on my first visit to the region. It pushed my wife and I to write the first wine book about the Dalmatian (as well as Herzegovian) wine region. We’re just trying to find the right publisher for the project now as there are a good number of wine makers at or above the level of that Zlatan Plavac you had. If you an even more mind-blowing experience, try the Zlatan Plavac Grand Cru. Amazing stuff.

PS – I hate to point this out, but it’s actually ‘plavats’, not ‘plavac’. Otherwise, good job with the Croatian words. They’re not easy to say.

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

Never had an Eastern European wine. Im looking forward to now, thats for sure.

QOTD: None… sadly… Nice EP though Gary!

QOTD: None

Halarious show with the “double move”. We loved it! My wife spent a year in Croatia. Beautiful place.

I’ve tried both Mihalj Grasevina and Plavac Zlatni. Both highly recommended.
