Next weekend I'll be attending the
Zagreb Wine Gourmet Weekend where I'll be on a
Twitter Tasting Panel moderated by
Cliff Rames. We'll be discussing the power of twitter and the influence of new technologies and social networks on the wine culture and conduct a live twitter tasting with U.S. bloggers and members of the live audience too.
It's not too late to jump on a plane and head to Zagreb and join us. But barring that, you can tune in to twitter on Saturday April 14th at 8am PST / 11am EST and follow the hashtag #WoCroatia and #ZWGW12.
We will be tasting Milos Plavac, Krajancic Posip, and Terzolo Teran. If you'd like to join in live with your own tasting notes you may be able to find the wines at your local wine shop, or you can order them via
Blue Danbue Wine.
In addition to all the wine and food exhibitors on the show floor, there will be
Master Class tastings including presentations by David Gates of
Ridge Vineyards and by Ivo Jeramaz of
Grgich Hills. Seminars topics include a session with
George Taber on The Judgement of Paris. A full slate of
films will be screened including the
Life on the Douro. You can view the full schedule
here.

After the Wine Gourmet Weekend I'll be exploring the wilds of Istria (and wifi permitting) tweeting all my finds as we hike the trails, forage for asparagus with wolves and bears, sample traditional rakija recipes, and taste and drink our way around the tiny towns of the region.
