Zinfandel Wines - Croatian Wine: The Toast of the Town

I just read a great article about American Zinfandel Wines and how they originated in Croatia. The article is from the American Chronicle and is titled, "Croatian Wine: The Toast of the Town". The variety of the grape detailed int he article is Zinfandel-Primitivo-Kaštelanski.

The article details Mike Grgich and his work with zinfandel wines in both the United States and Croatia. Take a look at it and let me know what you think.

Piljac, Jasenka. Zinfandel: A Croatian-American Wine Story. This book, written by one of the scientific investigators involved in the search for the original Zinfandel is available used at www.amazon.com (for $75!).
