The Croatian coast.
Deep Purple said, ‘April is a cruel time’ in the bizarre 12-minute song, April, the last track on their third album, brilliantly titled Deep Purple III.
Respectfully, I disagree. April can be a great time, as spring brings slumbering greenery to life, and opportunities to visit wine regions, near, like the Dundee Hills and far, like Croatia’s Kvarner region, came my way, I embraced April, despite Deep Purple’s jaded take on the month.
Oh, and New York City was in there too, how can I forget? I was there to promote our New York Fine Wine Encounter, on 7 June. Less than a month away!

<h2>Come out to the coast, we&#8217;ll have a few laughs</h2>
<p>I had got word through the grapevine that the Croatian national government wanted to honour the scribblings of yours truly, so who was I to say no?</p>
<p>All kidding aside, the Croatian tourism board gave me the Gold Pen Award for my <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/dream-destination/decanters-dream-destination-villa-korta-katarina-dalmatia-croatia-537285/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coverage of the country&#8217;s wines in 2024,</a></strong> so off to <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine/istria-for-wine-lovers-503895/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Istria</a></strong> I went.</p>
<p>A side journey to the region of Kvarner opened up yet another gem in that country&#8217;s fascinating array of growing regions, principally centered around the island of Krk.</p>
<p>I was able to taste and dine with a few of Kvarner&#8217;s producers and visit the region&#8217;s largest vineyard, planted to Zlahtina. A white indigenous variety. Croatia has over 100 such wine varieties originating in this diverse growing region.</p>
<p>This is a country I&#8217;ve been visiting for almost a decade, and I continue to be impressed with the direction the wines are taking. If you&#8217;ve never been to Croatia, its food, wine, and immense natural beauty are a great reason to visit.</p>
<p>I did a little truffle hunting and sightseeing in a storybook hill town called Grožjnan, a charming village high in the Istrian hills. Our awards ceremony was held at the Kozlović winery, who make some of the country&#8217;s best white wines. It was a whirlwind, but the kind you enjoy.</p>

<h2>The Dundee Hills turns 20</h2>
<p>The Dundee Hills Winegrowers Association invited me to help them celebrate their 20th birthday. They can legally start drinking their own product next year.</p>
<p>We hosted a panel for consumers and industry members alike to look back at where <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/premium/oregon-vintage-2022-best-willamette-valley-pinot-noirs-under-50-536364/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oregon Pinot Noir</a></strong> got its start, and forward to the undeniably bright future.</p>
<p>I was joined on the panel by pioneering winegrowing Allen Holstein, second-generation Dundee Hills growers <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/premium/lange-estate-in-the-dundee-hills-555060/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesse Lange</a></strong> and Paul Durant and one of the region&#8217;s rising stars, winemaker <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine-reviews-tastings/editors-picks-september-2024-537947/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kate Payne Brown.</a></strong></p>
<p>Anytime I&#8217;m down in the Willamette, I try to schedule a few tastings. For my quick one-day visit, I shoehorned in two exciting stops. First up was Abbott Claim, where the very talented Alban Debeaulieu is making the wines, including my top wine of last year&#8217;s <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/premium/decanters-top-50-us-wines-part-three-the-top-10-546212/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Decanter Top 50 US Wines.</a></strong></p>
<p>I find his 2022 vintage wines, particularly a couple of his Chardonnays, to be exhilarating, as you&#8217;ll see below, the Temperance Hill bottling really captivated me.</p>
<p>He also told me about a special project the folks at Abbott Claim are working on. From there, I checked in with Craig Williams of X Novo, the longtime brains behind Joseph Phelps.</p>
<p>He left California behind for the wilds of Oregon. Williams has planted a couple of vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills from which winemakers are clamouring to source fruit.</p>
<p>The X Omni site, in particular, makes electrifying Chardonnay.</p>

<h2>The Big Apple</h2>
<p>The last trip of my whirlwind April was New York City for a little event promotion. As the only full-time Decanter person in the country, someone&#8217;s gotta do it, and well, that someone is me.</p>
<p>After sharing a natural wine at Frenchette with our <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine/blind-tasting-554097/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">columnist Eliza Dumais</a></strong>, I hosted a couple of cool Decanter events. One was <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/decanter-world-wine-awards/dwwa-results-highlights/dwwa-celebrate-american-excellence-at-the-carlyle-new-york-555563/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a dinner at the famed Carlyle hotel</a></strong>, just across from Central Park, where I highlighted the American wines that were among the top in the <strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/decanter-world-wine-awards/decanter-world-wine-awards-2024-results-revealed-530763/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024 DWWA judging</a></strong>.</p>
<p>They included an array of Chardonnays and a top-rated Pinot Noir,<strong><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/joemicallef/2024/06/26/americas-best-pinot-noir-according-to-the-decanter-world-wine-awards/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> a Best in Show wine from Oregon&#8217;s Audeant</a></strong>.</p>
<p>My trip was rounded out by<strong><a href="https://www.decanter.com/wine-news/a-taste-of-excellence-wine-aficionados-gather-for-exclusive-decanter-preview-at-millesima-nyc-555788/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> a fantastic tasting at Millesima</a></strong>, where we previewed our Fine Wine Encounter masterclasses from Veuve Cliquot, Biondi Santi and the Rioja DOCa.</p>
<p>I also hit up a few pizza places, including my favourite, Scarr&#8217;s. Let&#8217;s grab a slice together if you&#8217;re coming to our Fine Wine Encounter.</p>
<h2>Further highlights</h2>
<p>This month, my wine highlights included several bottles from the Willamette Valley. In addition to the Abbott Claim, the 00Wines, X Novo, and Granville bottles were serious standouts.</p>
<p>I was really taken by the Love &amp; Squalor Temperance Hill Pinot Noir. With a little age on it, it&#8217;s loaded with elegance.</p>
<p>The 2022 vintage from Reynvaan Family Vineyards, largely in The Rocks District, shows tremendous balance with that regional depth. There were a couple of California wines from Ridge Vineyards and Tablas Creek also got my attention.</p>
