On through the Balkans - Serbia & Croatia

We had more time in Serbia, a quick day stop, and a bus to Sremski Karlovci. This small town has a number of specialty high schools that kids come from around the country to attend and it's also a bishopric.

But we were there to visit a small family-owned winery and honey producer. We first tasted the honey. It was pretty typical honey. They had honey with ground sesame seeds in it. As a honey, it was not great, but I could see glazing roasted meats with it.

We visited their wine cellar. It was small and damp with mold growing on the walls and the wine barrels. I'm not sure that moldy wine barrels are a positive for making wine. I certainly have never seen it in other wine cellars.

Then we tasted about six to eight of the wines. Most of us were taking one sip of each and then dumping the rest. The dump bucket on the table was brim-full at the end of the tasting. They were pretty bad. So the consensus was that the trip was a waste of time.

Our next stop was Ilok Croatia. (That doesn't work well in this font, it's ILOK.)

There was a nice sunrise to start the day.

There was only a hotel/restaurant at the dock but we could see a church on the hill in the distance.

The briefing said that there wasn't much to see in Ilok and then the bus would go to Vukovar, which was the heaviest shelled city in the Balkans wars. Having seen that they tend to preserved the bombed out buildings to remember the war it didn't sound that interesting. A search of visitor comments noted it was "grim." So I skipped the tour.

But we walked over to town. The lower town was very uninteresting. But there was a stairway going up the hill. While Cathie walked back to the ship, I went up the stairs.

At the top was the old fortified town with a church and a number of substantial buildings within the old walls.

There was a nice view of the countryside from the top of the hill.

As I walked through the upper town, I found members of the tour group who were just finishing up their wine tasting. The reports were very good, so I went in and did one on my own. The tasting had been included in the tour, but I had to pay; a small price to avoid a bus ride and a bombed-out city.

I found that the winery made a whole range of sweetness in the wines from dry, to ice wine. The group had only tasted the dry wines, but I discussed the sweeter wines with the staff and tasted two. The first was in the range of too sweet to be a dry wine and not sweet enough for a dessert wine. But the sweet Trockenbeerenauslesen was very good. In the end, I bought a bottle of the dry and the Trockenbeerenauslesen. I tried to get two of that one, but they were down to their last bottle and were out of the ice wine.

Then a walk back through the upper town and down the stairs.

It was actually pleasant and didn't require a bus ride!

Based on my very limited sampling I would go for the Croatian wines NOT the Serbian.
