Vino&Kino (in English the title would be translated as Wine&Movies, so you can appreciate that it does make more sense and rhymes better in Croatian) are a series of events organized by Jelena Bulum, in which she tries to tie together the two worlds that don’t seem to have much in common: wine and movies. OK, well, a lot of both is made in California, so they do have something in common.
This Tuesday and Wednesday, on February 5th and 6th, the events will take place in Bornstein wine bar and shop in Zagreb, starting at 7 pm. This will be the first instalment of the events in 2019, and it will be dedicated to the Academy Awards, usually just called the Oscars. This year, the award ceremony will be held on February 24th in Los Angeles, and Vino&Kino will introduce us to some of the favourites for thr prestigious award.
The movies presented will be accompanied by the Oscars’ worthy sparkling wines made by the vintners from Plešivica, Drago Kurtalj and Dominik Jagunić. Their wines are also winning awards all over the world, and at the Vino&Kino event, the guests will get the chance to taste Jagunić’s Three Stars Brut, Rhein Riesling and Rot-traminer, and Kurtalj’s Rosé and Prestige cuvée (2013).
Movies which are considered as this year’s favourites for the Oscars will be presented (their trailers will be shown, not the entire movies, of course), and the stories of those movies will be told by Martin Milinković, long-time movie professional and a favourite of the Vino&Kino guests in the past.
Jelena Bulum will be the hostess for the evening, and in addition to the wines you’ll get the chance to enjoy the creative bites from the Bornstein kitchen
The first event on Tuesday is already sold out, but you can still get in on Wednesday, and the price of admission is 150 kuna.
