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: Tokaji, and I think I had a Pinot from Romania.

None

Wow! Great show. Croatian, who’d a thunk it?

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.

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: 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.

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

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

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

QOTD: None…yet.

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

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

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

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.

never had an Eastern European wine, but very interested.

No Eastern European wines that I can remember here…

But sounds like I should head out and find one.

none. not old enough to drink yet. I do like the sound of the last wine though….I’ll have to remember it in a few years.

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!

I have had no wine from Eastern Europe.

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.

Dunavar Pinot Gris from Hungary…
For $9.99CDN it carries the Thunder!!!

Hey Gary next fall you should come check out our festival wine tasting…160 local wines rep’d by 35 wineries!!!

Never had an eastern European wine before. But you’ve inspired me to do so!
Cheers!

My brother-in-law is Polish. I’ve had some Polish wine. Not great at all, but since he’s a great guy I’ve always enjoyed drinking them with him.

btw, I’m happy for you with your reaction to the last wine here. sounds like it would’ve made your book if you’d found it earlier.

Scott – Boston

Gary, my father spent the first 16 yrs. of his life on the beautiful,unspoiled island of Hvar and my mother’s parents were from the nearby island of Vis so it’s nice to hear your excitement for this wine!

QOTD: I’ve never had an eastern European wine, but now I can’t wait to try one.

QOTD: Makedonikos Tsantali from Macedonia.

By the way Gary, any plans for Chinese wines on the Thunder Show?
