Where: Dobrovo, Goriška Brda, Slovenia

When: 5. October 2012

What: Unforgettable evening hosted by wine magazine Vino at winery Vinska klet Goriška Brda – Japanese culinary accompaniment

Revija Vino is a Slovene Magazine for wine lovers, culinary arts and other delights.

The magazine which is published four times a year, organize wine & food pairing dinners every time at different winery or restaurant. This time the event was held in winery Vinska klet Goriška Brda, which is located in the heart of Brda, Wine region Primorska. Wines from the winery were served with Japanese food. The main goal of the socializing, is not only to raise the culture of wine drinking, but also to get to know more about deeper understanding of winegrower philosophy of wine production. However, the event at Goriška Brda Winery achieved the purpose and for me the pick of the event was to taste “Motnik” – vinification under the old method.

p.s. “Motnik” (unclear color) - wines are poured for the first time in the early spring. Wine barrels are disinfected with cold smoke, made by herbs such as rosemary, bay leaves & sage. Motnik is not on the market.
