Ten Discoveries from the 21st Slovenian Wine Festival

posted in Slovenia, Wine on November 17, 2018 by Bob Ramsak 0 Comments

The 21st edition of the Slovenian Wine Festival is done and dusted – and it was really nice to be back. The festival returned this year to where it began in 1997, to Cankarjev Dom, Slovenia’s premiere cultural center, in the heart of Ljubljana. I attended that one, but travel conflicts kept me away from… Continue reading →

The Only Orange Wine Primer You’ll Ever Need

posted in Slovenia, Wine on May 10, 2018 by Bob Ramsak 0 Comments

Like the wine it’s celebrating, the annual Orange Wine Festival in the calm northern Adriatic Slovenian seaside city of Izola, which a few Fridays ago marked its seventh edition, has finally come of age.

Moving in. Watch your head. And look out for the birds.

This is BobRamsak.com, a public notebook by Bob Ramsak.

I’m a long-time journalist, photographer and researcher driven by passions for environmental, social and refugee justice. I’ve visited 62 countries and write something and make pictures (almost) every day. This site is a notebook and photolog where I track and (sometimes) comment on those interests, journal my travels and log my current obsessions. At the moment the most dominant ones are trying to make sense of the global response to the climate crisis and a renewed passion for birding and bird photography.

This site primarily serves as a garden for my memories and experiences, which I hope visitors will find useful or of interest. If you find something helpful here, or have a thought or insight to add, please leave a comment or drop me a line to let me know. I’ll be delighted to make your acquaintance.

Based in Nice, France, after two decades in Slovenia and four in the US midwest.

All views mine.

You’ll be surprised by what you’ll find.
