David Skoko: Motor, loza, kuhača

Some new champions

David Skoko takes us to Istria to visit Ivan Damjanić, a winemaker from Poreč whose ancestors already in 1928 had a gold medal from an international wine competition in Paris hanging on the wall. In his twenties, Ivan sold his motorcycle to buy a tractor and plant a vineyard. Soon, he went from being an unknown Poreč winemaker to one of Istria’s wine stars. David’s fish menu in this episode also includes lesser-known seafood specialties such as bottarga.
