Marko Fakin, of Fakin Good Wines, a 6-time #Decanter Gold Medalist, presented their fresh and aged wines, Malvasia and Teran, in New York City.

The first presentation – a Free Wine Tasting and Meet & Greet with Fakin wines, was held last Sunday in Istria Sport Club & Restaurant as a part of dinner and dance on the occasion of Valentine’s Day. The second presentation of Fakin wines in New York was at the Villa Berulia Restaurant, which included hosting a 4-course pairing dinner for media representatives, sommeliers and other Croatian wine lovers.

We would like to thank Villa Berulia Restaurant – NYC for the hospitality and organization of this wonderful dinner, Croatian Premium Wine Imports – our dear Mrs. Mirena Bagur for her exceptional help and cooperation, and Anna M.
