Zadar Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018

Nice blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. Bold and fruity, very smooth, velvety, and easy to drink. Semi-sweet finish makes it flexible enough to pair with both meat and pasta. — 7 months ago

Badel

Cuvée Benkovac Merlot Blend

Really fresh considering its a red wine. Really like this one, and only around €5 from a supermarket. What a great find! — 4 years ago

Garofoli

Podium Superiore Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico 2016

2020/4 with various Adriatic coast seafood dishes. Much rounder than the ColleStefano, with a pronounced almond note. I wonder how much is due to the extra 2 years from vintage, the terroir, winemaking, etc (though both seem to be modern, stainless steel-raised white wines). — 4 years ago

Renzo Sgubin

Friuli Isonzo Sauvignon 2012

Well aged body with secondary notes of dried peach and slight nuttiness with still a hint of slate and minerality after all these years. I feel like I’m on the beach on the coast of the Northern Adriatic Sea once again enjoying the local bounty. — 5 years ago

@Joshua Fisher indeed good sir. We had the best of times and the worst of times. Many leather-bound books and rich mahogany. Screaming Eagle on tap paired with the express of Panda.

Marinov

Babić 2018

Starter to dinner with friends & what a revelation. Croatian red ( from the Adriatic coast). A shimmery light blood red. Nose with Cracked pepper, fresh picked raspberries, & a wee bit of barnyard funk; on the palate chewy, concentrated red fruits &. Low but present tannins, medium + acidity. Might be a good red with fish? For 20$ a lot of well constructed wine. Kreslo & Zev selections, Fruit of the Vines imp. — 2 years ago

Colle Stefano

Verdicchio di Matelica 2015

2020/4 with various Adriatic coast seafood dishes. So tangy and minerally - really refreshing but deep and intense, with green and yellow fruit. I would be curious to see how this ages. — 4 years ago

Di Majo Norante

Ramitello Molise Red Blend 2016

I have never tried a wine from Molise before. On the Adriatic coast east of Naples and a little north of Bari, I had no idea what to expect. This 85% Montepulciano and 15% Aglianico blend is robust. But somehow shows a bit of lightness and salty sea breeze. Dark cherry, plum, spice. Very good with food. You could drink this wine every day and never grow tired of it. — a year ago

Vinarija Benkovac Syrah 2015

9.1

Open in the bottle for 30 minutes. Dark purple color. Nose contains oak, vanilla, and subtle spice. Wine reminds me of those we had in Mallorca but with a better, velvety texture. Paired perfectly with the Chateaubriand! Was so great we made a reservation for Thursday night! Medium finish. Great QPR and local recommendation by the restaurant staff! Atmosphere and scenery definitely influenced the overall experience, but that’s how it’s supposed to be!! — 4 years ago
