Where: RougeMarin, Zagreb, Croatia
When: 14 December 2013
What: Urban Wine Culture Festival

Wine Jam is a brand name for Urban Wine Culture Festival. It was »born« in Belgrade, now its goal is to expand abroad. The second time it was presented in Zagreb in cooperation with Pleasure Seekers Croatia. Wineries from Croatia, Serbia and this time also from Slovenia in Rougemarin bar. Imagine: in the place like restaurant or pub or even cultural place wineries representing their wines. Face to face: winemaker to guest. OK, this time DJ was with the music a little loud; but its mission was completed – winejamming!

My TOP

• Misal Prestige Extra Brut, 12%, Misal, Istria, Croatia (attracts attention)
• Bjana Cuvee Prestige 2008 Brut, 13%, Goriška Brda wine district, Primorska wine region, Slovenia (calls for “more”)
