Question about a Croatian wine...

[Visnja]

Hey y'all, what's up??? ;D I am actually not a Croatian however, my boyfriend is. He talked about a wine that's made by his uncle in Dalmatia (or somewhere close). I am not quite sure about the spelling but it could be something like Babiè or Bebiè. Or something else but god forbids. Anyways, I want to find out the correct spelling for the wine so I can get it for him next time he's back (as a surprise). I am currently in Ontario, Canada and it would be great if anyone can provide me the info where I can get this here! Thanks a bunch!! Take care guys

Babić

RENOWNED BABIĆ – a renwned red wine

A renowned wine Babić is produced from the homonymous grapes descending from the wine – growing positions of Primošten vineyards. These positions represent the best transform ''the naked stone'' in stingy, but noble wine – growing soil of the renowned Babić, what the acknowledgement of the United Ntions speaks about. The wine is characterized by a dark ruby colour, a very delightful aroma, with a well-defined taste and a bouquet. A favourite one for all gastronomes, it is served with roast fish, venison, roast meat and piquant, quality cheese. Served exclusively and strictly at room temperature.

There appears to be many Canadian Croats in Croatia. Some of the time. Part of the time. The home grown and brewed wines are extremely good. Some are very powerful. You can't really go wrong. Cheap white wine from Jolly's or Konzum at under £1 per litre is very drinkable. (White wine is rare with the local brewers. It's often brown). The home grown stuff. If it tastes plasticky or is cloudy...leave it.
The wine is the bonus. And if you smoke, the cheap fags or tobacco is the double bonus. Bibic, Babic...okay. But if there is good home grown on offer (and everyone will give it you, happily, by the five litre), and they have been doing it for generations, well, it's your birthday. They know what they're doing.
If you like wine, you'll be okay. The tongue is the key.

My Croatian wine recommendation: Dingac. A superb red wine from grapes grown on Peljesac peninsula. It has slight vanilla and cherry flavour.

Agree with Dingac. It is actually a district.
And then again the very best I have tasted was a mixture from Dingac and Postup on Peljesac. Winemaker Grgic and rather expensive - but good to impress someone who think they know a lot about wine.

Grgic wine is very good.... but if you want to buy it outside of Croatia. He calls himself Grgich.
I like his wine from napa.... but his wine from his croatian (korcula)vinyards is much better.
