Last minute notice from Punchdown - rare opportunity to taste Slovenian wines, a region famous for its tradition of making natural wines:"Please join us on Wednesday May 25th from 6-9 PM as The Punchdown welcomes Miha Batič of Batič Winery from the Vipava Valley, Slovenia. Miha runs the Batič Winery (and farm), which places a special emphasis on natural production and maintaining traditions inherited from a winemaking legacy dating back to 1592! The Batič Winery is exemplary for creating pure, natural wines reflecting a sense of place!
The cost of the flight is $25 for members of the mailing list, Facebook fans, & Twitter followers (just tell me on flight night)! $30 for everyone else - and consists of four two ounce tastes (possibly a surprise bonus as well!). All wines are available by the glass & retail while supply lasts. These are special prices for flight night only!
-2010 Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon $12 per glass / $23 retail bottle
-2009 Rebula $12 per glass / $23 retail bottle
-2008 Cabernet Franc $14 per glass / $30 retail bottle
-2009 Zaria (55% Pinela, 20% Zelen, 10% Rebula, 8% Vitovska, 4% Klarnica)
(“Zaria” translates to “dawn” as in a new dawn to an ancient wine culture. It is a true orange wine where all the varietals are co-fermented on the skins.) $18 per glass / $38 retail bottle
Come on down to The Punchdown this Wednesday, May 25th for a chance to taste the wines of Batič Winery and meet the man behind them! Let’s take a little voyage to Slovenia ... one sip at a time!"
I looked up the winery on Google and found this writeup online as well as these tasting notes.
