Drava Wines

Thanks to for the idea of swapping 'dry' January to 'try' January.
2026 is a new year and time for new experiences, a great time to try some new wines and wineries you've never tried before. Lodi produces over 130 grape varieties so surely there are plenty of new wine varietals to be tried.
In 2025 Drava Wines bottled several new wines including some less common varietals such as Peloursin, Mourvedre, Montepulciano, Sangiovese, in addition to a wonderful new Maribor red blend. Lodi has nearly 70 tasting rooms so it's a great time to find one you have not visited yet and give them a try.

Always a good sign

Tough to beat the Adriatic Sea in Croatia

Armenia, the 60th country I've visited. I highly recommend it.
