Miljenko (Mike) Grgich returned to his birth-home of Croatia from a successful career as a winemaker and winery owner in California to realize the dream of opening his own winery in his native land. The Grgich Winery is in Trstenik, on the Peljesac Peninsula. It’s housed in a plain stone building that was once a military station, then later a resort. It is surrounded by a wooded area that overlooks the rocky coast of the Adriatic below. We sampled several varieties. The whites were excellent, but we really liked the red Zinfandel, which was made from grapes grown close by in Plavac Mali.
