Wine Review: Zlatan Otok Plavac Mali, 2019 | w/ Guest Host Ellen Lainez from The Wine Consul

This week we pop open the 2019 Zlatan Otok Plavac Mali from Hvar, Croatia. Joining us is guest host Ellen Lainez, a wine educator and founder of The Wine Consul. Her work brings wine education to life through hands-on experiences and training across the hospitality industry.

We dive into five things you need to know about Croatian wine. Then we fire up a round of Pick Your Poison to keep things fun.

So, pour yourself your favorite glass of Croatian wine if you’ve got one. If not, this episode might convince you to fix that.
