St. Martin's day (Martinovanje)
In November, we celebrated St. Martin’s Day, Martinovanje, with a wonderful feast of Slovenian wines and traditional Slovenian brunch of cold cuts and cheeses. Martinovanje is a celebration of changing of must into wine, when the grape harvest concludes with the blessing of the season's young wine, and is traditionally celebrated on November 11. We sampled various Slovenian wines, Marija brought an excellent authentic Slovenian smoked sausage, and Lynn brought a homemade apple strudel. Vesna shared with us a wonderful Pleterje Viljamovka, a special brandy produced in the Pleterje monastery in Slovenia, for which a pear grows inside the bottle before being topped off with pear brandy.
