Jill and John gave an entertaining presentation about Croatian wine.

Like other old world wine producers, being very close geographically to Italy, it has many traditional grape varieties, perfectly suited to their local wine hills. Modern wine-production methods have taken over in the larger wineries and EU-style wine regulations have been adopted, guaranteeing the quality of the wine. They described some of the 300 geographically defined wine regions and a strict classification system to ensure quality and origin.

The majority of Croatian wine is white, with most of the remainder being red and only a small percentage being rosé wines. We sampled two whites and two reds. All were of high quality and the members present had a good evening.
