With Mediterran interior you can instantly forget about snow and Slovak winter outside ...

Roxly, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Roxly - recently renovated place, used to be known as Triglav. And they made it a great place indeed. Hard-Rock-Cafe-ish. Thumbs up! It rocks your ... lunch.

Grew up in Mengeš and Podgrad, EF graduate, PF postgraduate (still an open chapter) and about to get the licence at SIR. Worked for KPMG and Ilirika DZU. Nature, animals, mountains and good wine, can make her day. If she would have Warren Buffet signing her checks, she would teach people catch fish in form of a business angel. In the mean time she listens to Wine stories in CD.


Ah ... memories of Medana ... This time it was Kristančič. Similar best.

Ferdo Klinec. He can tell you a lot ... about "the days".

Vinoteka Brda, Dobrovo, Slovenia

Vinoteka Brda - a great enotheque located in a white castel, offering guided degustations with a presentation of the Brda wine region. You just have to come here if you are, but remotely interested in good wines.


Andrej Lavric (Lavrič) - director for specific projects at Energoplan. Born and grew up in Novo Mesto and his Lavrič family tree is known and documented for 300 years back. FGG graduate, worked also in tourism, at SCT with an assignment in Bosnia and at KID. A true gourmet, one time Dolenjska skiing champion for SD Rog. Wine, golf and lately also sailing afficionado. Reading in parallel: Natasha's Dance and Marketing Construction Services.

The idea of a selling-promotional centre was supported by the Brda municipality and a big part of Brda's most important winemakers, while the choice of the cellar at Dobrovo castle was self-evident.
