But I was referring to Zeyla wine at Chateau Copsa. I've heard the addition of herbs create quite an individual wine here. Thank you Atanas, I wil now also try Starosel when there.

I have never been there, but I've heard good things about the complex - few underground floors and wine tasting and so on. I suppose you mean Starosel winery.

It is a case (no pun intended) of selling quality wine at an affordable price - and yes it's widely available. In September I am going to a very small boutique winery (and hotel) near Karlovo and look forward to reviewing this and, as you say, some smaller producers. Thanks for stopping by and letting us know. Anyone else have their wine discoveries and recommendations they can share here? Hi Atanas,

I suppose there are even better choices, but could only be found in small wineries away from Sofia.

Glad you like these wines...and I have my review of contemplations which am yet to publish; but I too agree that it was really special, especially when METRO were selling it at half price in November. I also need to get my hands on your Todoroff Mavrud Gallery plus a Melnik wine I tried in a shop recently. keep these recommendations coming... anyone found a better wine for the money than Telish (cab sav/merlot) in a 4 botthe box (15lev at METRO)?

Contemplations and Twins from Katarzyna Estate are also very nice. However my favourite wine so far is from Todoroff winery near Plovdiv. Their Mavrud Gallery is lovely and my favourite Bulgarian wine so far. The TT Cuvee is indeed excellent. Contemplations and Twins from Katarzyna Estate are also very nice.

There are many Bulgarians living in the US (there are after all nearly 1 million Bulgarian expatriates scattered around the world). And enjoying wine is a superb way of starting to learn the Geography and History of a country that for many is perceived as of little interest. Bulgarian wine has come a long way - and perhaps now is its most positive international image. How times change. Hi Liz,

For those who live in the US http://www,bulgarianwine.com, based in Sonoma, California, delivers award winning wines. A whole sampler case of 15 bottles for just $99.00 sounds like a good deal to me, even if you add shipping and handling. Good article. Thanks for this insightful review on Bulgarian wines.

I am nesting in a small village in Bulgaria for the winter and looking forward to following your blog. I will try to search for some of the wine you have posted. I write more in the deeper levels of the culture. Hey I just came across your site. I am nesting in a small village in Bulgaria for the winter and looking forward to following your blog.
