December 9, 2019 - In an effort to ensure your winter is anything but dull, Zinfandel Food & Wine Bar has prepared a delightful dinner and wine pairing with Deklić Winery this Friday. 

Foodies and wine connoisseurs, rejoice! This Friday, December 13, you have the chance to experience what Zinfandel does best for an evening that blends the best of Croatian food and wine. 

Namely, Zinfandel has crafted a unique five-course menu, with each sequence paired with a glass of wine from Deklić Winery in Istria. Deklić wines are the result of a centuries-old family tradition, which is evident in every bottle of their remarkable selection. Deklić hails from Vižinada, part of the Istrian peninsula, which has always been a wine-growing region thanks to its excellent climate, fertile red soil, and a pleasant attitude. 

And this Friday, you get to try it all.

Guests will be welcomed with a glass of Grazia Deklić from 2017, followed by the first course - red mullet with endives, rosemary, and a lemon gel, paired with the Deklić Malvasia from 2018. 

For the second course, Zinfandel has prepared octopus with fire-roasted vegetables, white beans, romesco & salsa verde, served with a Deklić Chardonnay from 2018. 

The dinner continues with cappellacci of oxtail, oxtail sauce, gremolata, shallots and Grana Padano cheese, while the third course is served with a Deklić Teran from 2016.

Course four boasts pork belly with baby carrots and a carrot cream, roasted garlic, and pork jus, while you sip a Cabernet Sauvignon from 2016. 

And finally, for dessert, a kadaif cannoli with cream, dehydrated raspberries and pistachios, served with a Muškat Žuti from 2018.

You can find the full menu in Croatian below. 

Dinner begins at 8 pm and the price per person is 230 kuna. Start off your weekend in the best way possible and book a table by calling 021 355 135.
