There are some good wines with a coastal orientation but they're usually just part of the whole line of a winery that might have its cellar in the interior as they source grapes from all over the peninsula.

Great to see that somebody write about this part of the world. On my last visit last year, we found that most of the wines south of Istria are quite high in alcohol. Istria is having some serious wineries, but i still think that best wines are not coming from Costal part. Life of Croatian winemakers is not easy, hopefully in future we will see lot of changes.

It's no secret that the Adriatic has become a hot travel destination, and a lot of my guests are really excited to see that we've included Croatia and Slovenia on the Friuli page of our big Italian wine list. It wasn't long ago that a great majority of people scoffed at any wine that sounded vaguely Eastern European, so I'm excited to keep tasting these wines and hopefully see interest continue to grow . Thanks for the great read!
