Actually, it looks like there are a couple of whites listed as available besides the Avia: MOVIA CHARDONNAY 00 $19.49 MOVIA RIBOLLA BRDA 00 $23.99

Hey, check this:

ORACLE CHARDONNAY 03 $8.99 ORACLE SAUVIGNON BLANC 03 $8.99

Hmm, I can't find any web sites identifying this as Slovenian, but do see a couple showing it as South African...oh well.

Hello, Dan.

Regarding Avia label I know only, that it was established especially for the export from Slovenia to the USA. I believe that the same wine was sold in Slovenia under another label, but I am not sure what it is called.

However, I suggest you look for some other slovenian wines. I especially 'promote' wines from western part of Slovenia, that is neighbouring on the Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Collio regions in Italy.

For example:

- Ipavec :) (not in the US yet, but we are working on it)

- Movia

- Batic

- Scurek

- Simcic

- ...

Regards,

fI

Hello!

Well, I don't think ORACLE wines come from Slovenia. I did not meet such label in Slovenia yet.

Sure thing, Ipavec. I'll keep looking.

Where in America can we purchase any Ipavec wines? We live in La Palma California (Southern Calif near yet about 30 kilometers south of Los Angeles) Additionally, my name is Robert Ipavec (retired US Marine Corps) son of Stanislaw Ipavec who was the son of Anton Ipavec who was a farmer and land owner before coming to America to avoid Mussolini. Both my dad and grandpa were born in or around Rocina. (It was Italy when my dad was born and not Italy when Grandpa was born. Grandmama’s maiden name was Louise Gec. Both grandpa and grandma were born in the 1880s. Anyone there related? Not often we find an Ipavec anywhere.. thank you in advance for your response. PS I have a son named Matthew.
