We are at around 0C (less overnight, around 2 during the day)

Panonic sea is flatlands, but most of it is in Hungary, our northern neighboor. Since souther edge is in Slavonia (our part of the sea) it has it's share of vineyards with my birth area containing best of them in this parts. With it's ice wines (I'm not sure what is proper english name for that, but those are wines made from grapes that are taken fully frozen) and all lkind of other wines 'Iločki podrumi' = Illok cellars are the best...and it has nothing to do that I was born in that part :P

On the flats it's mostily sunflowers, corn and wheat.

I'll lookup a link for you later, watch this space
 

It sounds like a cross between Kansas and Missouri. In Missouri we have three areas of decent wines (Saint James Winery, Hermanhoff Winery and Les Bugois (sp?)) that I know of. they are locaated near St. James Missouri, Hermann Missouri and Rocheport Missouri. the other crops can be found grwing in Nebrasca and Kansads where in those two states it is said that birds drop from the air fr the lack f a place to roose. it has bee historicly with out trees. In this country I am refering to what is known as the great plains.

It sounds like you live in a beatuiful place. I wonder about those 'Ice-wines" I need to look into that. It sounds good.

Ice wine is the correct name. It's something we in Ontario make as well. It's very, very sweet. Like candy sweet, I hate it myself, preferring a 0 to 2 rating on the sugar content, these are like 16-20

I've had a couple of wines from Eastern Europe, and they were surprisingly good.

Ice Wines are correct, though in the United States they are sometimes simply labeled as "Late Harvest." What Ryan says is true, though...they are sweet, desert wines. Chicks dig them though, so if you are a single guy it pays to keep a couple bottles on hand. I've got a nice wine chiller, so I usually have 30-40 bottles of wine on hand at any time. I'd love to have more, but I drink them too quickly.
 

chick magnet eh? nice to know. has anyone heard of the riverboat wines by Le bugois wineries? they are good for drinking and sate' use for the sweet content.
 

Here are some links:

About Croatia (Hrvatska)

In early history you'll find reference to Vučedol, it's few miles from my former home, it's neolithic precursor to Vukovar, the city where I was born

i knoticed in the above link that the fishing boats were suspended in the air. does that indicate the difference in the tides?

i also saw one of the pics with what looked like hops growning near a church. is that what I see? and are they royal hops?

just went through the sights more throughly and I can only say: Wow! What a beatuiful country!!

Also, St. Chapelle Soft Chenin Blanc works wonders with girls. And, it is really inexpensive.

I've not tried them (I don't think), but I'll keep my eye open if you recommend them. On an associated note, I have still not been able to find the Dewar's Single Malt here in Salt Lake. Bummer.

Edit: Although, a little research shows that it is actually done under the name Aberfeldy, so maybe that is why I've been missing it. Hmmm...
