Some interesting wines here – The first is a top of the range sparkling, with a price to match, but it can hold its own with other top sparklers. The Malvazija was a bit thin and not well liked. The 2 Grasevina's were both reckoned to be pretty good, which isn't bad for what used to be known as Laski Riesling!

The reds were also good, I liked the Teran and the Dingac Plavac, but really did not take to the Dingac Dingac, but that may just be me, as many did like it – at 15.5% it is very powerful.

The last wine was a perfectly pleasant light desset wine which can hold its head up amongst its peers..

For me the best of the eveing were the 2 cheapest, the Grasevina Select and the Dingac Plavac and with 15% off on the night, are even better value
