Date: Saturday, September 26, 2009

Time: 4:00PM to 7:00PM

The wines
White: 2006 Bibich Debit Barrique, Croatia: An oak-aged version of Bibich’s classic Debit (Debit is the grape variety).The aging regimen consists of 12 months in new American oak barrique prior to bottling. 12% alcohol. Clean, crisp pure fruit.

Red: 2007 Dingac Peljesac, Croatia: The village of Dingac, on the Adriatic Sea, makes Croatia’s most famous red wine, Plavac Mali. This is the original Zinfandel. You will get the black berry quality of Zin but the more like the weight of a Dolcetto or Beaujolais.

Reserve Red: 2005 Dingac Postup, Croatia: The Postup vineyard on the Dalmatian coast has some old Plavac Mali vines planted. This bottling represents the best of those grapes with a little bit of bottle age. Dark and brooding.

The food
Whole spit-roasted suckling pig seasoned with sea salt and cracked pepper and served with sliced sweet red onion
Croatian-style potato salad with pickled cucumbers, red onion and extra virgin olive oil
Crusty bread (Saturday round rolls from Eagle Rock Bakery)

This sounds really interesting, particularly to a Zinfandel fan like me!

I’m out of town, though, so I can’t make it…

shouldn’t Leo be all over this? [tease.gif]

He’s a bit far away…

I thought a cuddle always went with Croatian BBQ

sounds good to me but little far away

Should be good. We have Croatian relatives (from Zadar, couple hours from Split) cooking all of the peasant-style food. Old school.

croatian people rock! that’s why i married one. would love to attend but it’s a bit of a drive for us.

enjoy the slivovitz,

Sounds yummy. My +1 and I will be there!
