Bulgarain wine is strange in that I absolutely adore the stuff the locals make, practically everyone in the SW makes their own wine. Tho' I have learnt that the stuff in the market is good in October/November, but don't touch it in Feb.

But an awful lot of the bottled stuff is quite poor. With the exception of Todoroff, I've yet to find a bottled Bulgarian I really like. I think there is an issue that, here in the SW, production is dominated by the Harsovo/Melnik wines, which are prized because the local soil bacteria give it a special flavour. It just so happen I don't like that flavour.

But the search continues....

I have bought some excellent wines from Romania, and lately Croatia. If you come across those on the mainland, try them.
