2008 Zlatan Otok Vinogorje Hvar Sveta Nedjelja (Croatia, Dalmatian Coast)

Zsolt and I enjoy drinking wine over meals, usually dinner. At most times, we prefer the red wine over the white wine. During the recent trip to Croatia, we were recommended at the Croatian restaurant a 2008 Zlatan Otok Vinogorje Hvar Sveta Nedjelja, from the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. In a way, we kind of fell in love with this wine. In all honesty, we are no wine connoisseur :) We just enjoy having a glass of wine in the evenings.



In summer, we like ice cold beers. I think I am not a good drinker at all. Two beers can easily get me drunk sometimes :p Being at the Lake Balaton, you can find some interesting Hungarian home-grown wine too. For Hungarian wine, I like the Villány wine, I think it is one of the best Pinot Noir.

The recommended time to visit the Hungarian countryside wine regions for wine tasting is September to October. This is when there are grape harvests and lots of festive programs and events.

Hungary is very lucky to have a favourable climate for quality wine growing. The autumn is quite dry, warm, sunny that is sometimes referred to as the 'Indian Summer'. It has average temperature that is much higher and ideally perfect for growing good wine. Tweet
