Manage episode 407456934 series 3560514
From ancient vineyards still in operation today, to dozens of original grape varieties, wines, and styles, Croatia is a heavenly haven of corkdorkery and winegeekery.
We take a quick spin through the varied regions, and learn a little bit about Zinfandel’s home base.
This is the Season 12 finale. Season 13 will pick back up in May.
