Ok, so I think that I lied a little bit in my last post. Not everything is the same in Dubrovnik, and I am discovering  tons of new things. Being a dedicated red wine drinker, I actively search out new places to drink wine and justify my indulgences by convincing myself that my Croatian skills vastly improve after a few glasses of a local wine.  One of my brand new haunts is a new wine bar, D’vino. This cleverly named bar (vino is wine, D’vino roughly translates as wonderful) is brand new and one of the few places to offer not only a wide selection of Croatian wines, but also a huge selection of wine from around the world. It is tucked away on a small side street in the old town. The prices are a bit steep, but it is a classy alternative to the other bars in town. Although it has only been open for a month, it has already become a regular for expats, locals, and tourists that are interested in sampling some of Croatia’s wines.

According to Time out Croatia, one of my favorite guidebooks for the country, Croatia has a long tradition of producing wines (both red and white) that goes back to the Roman times. The most famous are Dingac, Plavac, Prosek, and Babic. Most of these are grown along Croatia’s stunning coastline on Peljesac peninsula which quickly became a popular day trip from Dubrovnik.  Wine tours are becoming popular, but there is a lot of room for growth.

In the meantime I am just enjoying researching the vast world of Balkan wines.
