EN: Have you seen the movie “Sideways”? It’s a nice little movie from 2004, where Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church, both reaching middle age, and without much to show for it besides disappointment, spend a week in California wine country, tasting wine from different wine makers in the area and talk about their lives. (it was nominated for 5 Oscars, won only one, for best writing and adapted screenplay).
Well, in a nutshell, this is your scenery, only instead of huge California, concentrated in a very small village.
You are in Potomje, a village on Pelješac peninsula famous for its wines. It is the home of the best red wines of Croatia – Dingač, Postup and Plavac. Many different wineries exist here in this small village, and they all offer wine tasting before buying. So if you’re a wine connoisseur, you can spend an interesting afternoon here, visiting one winery after the other, and enjoying the taste of wonderful local wines. Bottoms up!
HR: Jeste li gledali “Sideways”? Polagani mali film iz 2004, gdje Paul Giamatti i Thomas Haden Church, oboje koji dolaze u srednje godine, a nemaju se bogznačime pohvaliti iz svog dosadašnjeg života (osim gomile razočaranja), provode tjedan dana u vinogradima Kalifornije kušajući vina raznih lokalnih vinogradara i pričajući o svojim životima. (film je bio nominiran za 5 Oskara, dobio samo jednog i to za najbolji adaptirani scenarij). Uglavnom, to je više-manje vaš setting ovdje, samo umjesto velike Kalifornije, sve je koncentrirano u malom selu.
Nalazite se u Potomju, selu na Pelješcu poznatom po svojim vinima. Najbolja crna vina Hrvatske dolaze odavde, kao Dingač, Postup i Plavac. Selo je prepuno malih lokalnih vinarija, i sve one nude degustaciju prije eventualne kupnje. Tako da ako ste poznavatelj dobrih vina, možete provesti ovdje ugodno popodne, posjećujući jednu po jednu vinariju, te uživajući u ukusima lokalnih sorti. Živjeli!
