A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. In the VipavaVlly, we stayed at Petra Zorz Farmhouse. Quite a charrming agriturismo and Petra was very
welcoming. The food was hearty & very good. The house wine (Malvasia-based) was OK, just that. Since they
made a Pinela, I wanted to try that. Pinela is a grape that is indigenous to the VipavaVlly. Pinela and Zelen
they are very proud of. This one was not a distinguishe example, however.
