Fun, informative, and tasty! Those are the words that describe the presentation of The Wines of Illyria last evening. Indira Bayer, founder and CEO, took us on a tour of the limestone stretches of land between the mountains and the sea on the Balkan Peninsula, and the grapes that grow in that area.

We tasted:

1. Stone Cuvee, 2014: 90% Zilavka and 10% Bena. (PA 99326) $15.99
2. Emporia Rose, 2016: 100% Blatina (PA38913) $15.99
3. Blatina, 2012: 100% Blatina (PA 99327) $15.99
4. Plavac Mali, 2012: 100% Plavac Mali (PA38654) $17.99
5. Vranac, 2012: 100% Vranac (PA37751) $16.99*

With the exception of the Emporia, all wines were labeled Wines of Illyria.

A special thanks to our hosts for the evening, Ellen and Wendell Barner and Kevin and Bob Dering for providing the very tasty food and treats to accompany the wines! They were great matches for the wine, and a wonderful addition to our evening.

Congratulations to Marie Pietraszewski for winning the raffle of A Dozen Rosés! Remember, Marie, “sharing is caring”!
