Dobredojde Macedonian Welcome Center Wine Tasting

I was delighted to learn about the Dobredojde Macedonia Welcome Center wine tasting event. This event was devoted to tasting Macedonian Vranec. 

From the DMWC facebook page: "DMWC Evening Wine Club meeting with Vranec, the gentleman of the Balkan ,Tuesday 31st of January.  This fun informal event introduced guests to the VRANEC wine, the gentleman of the Balkan :

It was a wonderful event - giving me the opportunity to sample Macedonian wine and to network.  (I met folks working with the OSCE, journalists writing for the Economist and Lonely Planet, lawyers, doctors, parents at Nova, and others.)
