Here in Canada, my Croatian husband and I discovered Zlahtina - a white from the island of Krk- at a Croatian owned seafood restaurant in Toronto called Joso. We fell into like right away with this crisp, clean white. We found it at the LCBO (our liquor store here)- and we buy it up when ever we find a few stray bottles! :-) I agree- Croatian wine can be VERY, very good- and like you say, very under-represented.

I'd really love to try more of Bibic's wines; and will add Šibenik to my list of places to go when I get to Croatia. Thanks for the comment, Frank and Alan.

I insist on Bibic wines being local but being simply great with food! Besides mentioned Riserva, I would highly recommend his Debit and Shiraz wines. We also did few wine tastings at Bibic wine cellar in Plastovo. Alen is not only a good wine maker but a great cook as well!

Below is a link to an article I wrote about Bibich wines after interviewing winemaker Alen Bibic and NY importer Daniel Pedisich. The story was published in the Croatian Chronicle newspaper on July 14, 2006. http://www.newrivieraimports.com/chron.pdf Frank Vinko Mustac I like this wine a lot, too.

I tried this wine with pan fried trout the other night and thoroughly enjoyed how the wine's acidity and balanced juiciness played against the fish. Thanks for the beautifully written wine write up--you say it all so eloquently! I heart Croatia too!
