And the way you describe the markets in the FSU makes me smile with its accuracy. Actually I am not on the Easr Coast but right in the middle. Not terribly far from Chicago but actually in Wisconsin. Worldtraveller Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 12/12/2006 4:36:20 AM   jet, there are quite a couple of moldovan wineries doing export to the usa. try some moldovan websites where wineries are listed and send an email to them regarding your issue. i know for sure, that wineries like garling, dionysos mereni, vitis hincesti, milesti micii and others are exporting to your country. the best moldovan wine available in the UK is in my opinion the "firebird". it is wine from dionys club/our Vine made with the support of an english lady master of wine. by the way: everybody´s taste is different, but the bucet wines are really not the best. the best ones of moldova are in my humble opinion those ones from acorex (also doing export to the usa), dionys club and purcari. hope it suits you.

I have been to the Jon's markets before, quite an experience. Too bad I didn't have time...I could have brought up some Moldovan wines up to you in Wisconsin!! :)) I'm taking half my winter ware.....don't need it much in sunny Los Angeles. DrKoop Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/11/2007 12:14:42 PM   Jetmba, could you recommend some good Moldovan wines. Russia ran some quality tests on Moldovan wines and declared them sub-standard, stopping their import into Russia. hammer6832003 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/16/2007 11:56:43 AM   dr koop i was in moldova 2 times and i am married to a very beautiful moldovian lady all wine is good i drank wine from the country ,city and many different wines ,as far as what russia says it is only political fight about the wine they want to control what happens in moldova and what they can export can get very much info from several web sites here is one that is in english,russian,and romanian any more questions send me a email my wife can answer many questions hammer DJK Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/25/2007 10:09:09 PM   Moldovan wine is available in the US. There is an import company in Portland OR that specializes in Moldovan Wine and Russian Beer. I live in Anchorage and purchase several cases a year. DJK Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/25/2007 10:10:40 PM   If you are interested send me an e-mail and I will forward their info. I do not know that they have an internet site yet. They import several differant types of wine and beer from several vineyards. indiana79 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/26/2007 4:55:22 AM   Im living in Slovakia and there is a Moldavian wine store down the street. If youd like, I can see if they have the wine you are looking for. As far as shipping it back to the US, Ive sent some Slovak wine to family in the US before and had no problem in customs. But they certainly could take it away. Let me know if you are interested. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/26/2007 5:30:52 AM   beemer: Unfortunately I am not quite as regular a follower of this forum as I used to be. Until now I did not see your post regarding travel to Green Bay for a Packer game. Would have been nice to have met you. Dr Koop; Russia did run some tests on Moldovan wine and found them to be supposedly substandard but this was widely regarded as being a political move. ALL Moldovan AND Georgian wine and spirits were banned from Russia as a slap across the face for opposition to Russian occupation of Transnistria (in Moldova's case) and two other "break away" regions (in Georgia's case). Previously more than 80% of the wine produced in Moldova was sold in Russia. Georgia's situation was quite similar. Both economies were affected strongly (hell, I was effected strongly MYSELF as I happened to own stock in a Moldovan wine company). Relations with Georgia continue to worsten as demonstrated with the recent arrest by Georgian authorites of a Russian spy and cutoff of postal and other services in retaliation by Russia. Moldova has so far escaped further conflict. Russia uses economic means to dea with political opposition as it demonstrated in the last year and a half by cutting off gas to both Belarus and Ukraine, two formerly close allies. DrKoop Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/26/2007 3:14:46 PM   Makes sense. I was roaming on Stefan cel Marie with two Moldovan sisters in each arm. We were stopped, walked to a nearby police station, where I was asked how well I spoke Russian. It seems that cops will not bother you if you are by yourself, but if you are with a local, that local better have an ID on and no prior record, else it can reflect on you too. Also, dont knock up a girl in Moldova. Although abortion is common, a girl may chose to keep the baby. In one case, guy had run off to Moscow and was contacted by Moscow police after complaint from the girl in Moldova. Jetmba, can I ask what became of your Moldovan fiancee whose visa was first refused, then granted on second attempt? jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/26/2007 10:44:35 PM   DrKoop: You must be confusing me with someone else. My lady's fiance visa was never refused. It was granted the first time we tried. Regarding hassles from police officers while with a lady - I can relate quite well though. My (former) lady and I were stopped by a police officer who heard us speaking English. I was carrying color copies of my visa and pass port as I was ADVISED to do (believe it or not) in Ukraine. It is not advisable in Moldova. The officer in question threatened to have me wait in a Moldovan jail until Monday (the incident occured on a Friday) in order for a representative of the American Embassy could verify my documents, unless I paid a bribe which began at 50 lei and eventually made its way to 200 lei when the lady I was with would not give the officer her telephone number. I was only released when she DID give her number - and he called her at least four times during the next two weeks while I was with her (each time my lady blew him off). DrKoop Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/27/2007 12:07:09 PM   This was posted by Jetmba a while back. "Now I find out the Bucharest Romania has a reputation for being perhaps the least accomodating embassy when it comes to fiance visa applicants. When your turn comes you are called to stand before a bullet-proof pane of glass and to speak to your beligerant and uncooperative interviewer as s/he barks questions, refuses to explain procedures and is likely to send you off on a wild goose-chase for more documentation at a whim. Evidently Bucharest has had a lot of complaints and peope who are familar with the Ukrainian Embassy mention the stark contrast between it and the embassy in Romania. I have to send my fiance and her Rusiian speaking mother there in a few months. There is no way I can make another trip to accompany her. And, it seems, that Bucharest officials are known for arbitrarily deciding that a fiance visa application is a sham, especially if the American fiance isn't there. So how do I get all the luck?" jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/27/2007 8:52:25 PM   DrKoop: If you are going to quote me - at least be good enough to use the entire post and not take what I say out of context. What I said in the original post IN ITS ENTIRETY was: ****************************************************************** **************** Yeah....It looks like Nebraska is BY FAR the slowest visa processing center. I haven't learned to like that but am reasonably tolerating it. Now I find out the Bucharest Romania has a reputation for being perhaps the least accomodating embassy when it comes to fiance visa applicants. I understand the sit down pleasant approach one might associate with an "interview" is nothing of the sort in Bucharest. When your turn comes you are called to stand before a bullet-proof pane of glass and to speak to your beligerant and uncooperative interviewer as he/she barks questions, refuses to explain procedures and is likely to send you off on a wild goose-chase for more documentation at a whim. Evidently Bucharest has had a lot of complaints and peope who are familar with the Ukrainian Embassy and the nifty way they explain everything and have even a website where you can download Packet 3 and Packet 4 documents (becasue Ukrain's mail system is unreliable) mention the stark contrast between it and the embassy in Romania. So how do I geet all the luck? I have to send my fiance and her Rusiian speaking mother there in a few months. There is no way I can make another trip to accompany her. And, it seems, that Bucharest officials are known for arbitrarily deciding that a fiance visa application is a sham, especially if the American fiance isn't there. My luck just keeps getting better and better. ********************************************************************** ***************** Did you notice the second last paragraph where I mention sending my fiance in a "FEW WEEKS"? That should be a clear indication to you that I had not had a fiance visa refused at that time nor did I ever. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/27/2007 8:58:46 PM   The paragraph you cut and pasted, DrKoop was actually a loose quote of me edited by a writer known here as Amir sometime back. I responded to HIS (mis)quote of my post thusly: *************************************************************** Hello Amir: I have not visited this forum in several months. You might be able to imagine my surprise when I did visit today - and found myself QUOTED in the first thread I read! Everything I wrote in the paragraph was true regarding my perception of the embassy at the time (before she was actually interviewd). The information was based on numerous accounts written on the site Visajourney.com as well as several other internet sites. Fortunately our experience was not nearly as bad as we anticipated. My then-fiance was interviewd by a male interviewer who approved our petition without any problem. I don't recall the gentlemen's name. I do think it is more than a little disconcerting that the "Conoff" has so much arbitrary power. If they simply are having a bad day, or are in a bad mood they can just on a whim abort everything you have worked so hard on, everything that means so much to both of you and you have nearly no recourse whatsoever. It is an absolutely ludicrous system. UK friends (tradman and others) tell me that they have no such similar system. That if you meet the qualifications you are granted a Fiance Visa without the arbitrary judgement. My sympathy for you Amir. Without knowing more about your case I can't even guess what might have gone wrong. Your best hope is to make sure that you are follwing the advice of a website like VisaJourney and to try again! ********************************************************************** ***** jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/27/2007 9:01:33 PM   I do not play games DrKoop. My lady visted Bucharest one time and one time only. She was never turned down for a fiance visa. And you can search all of the archives you want without ever finding anything contradicting what I just told you. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/27/2007 9:15:12 PM   This part: "There is no way I can make another trip to accompany her. And, it seems, that Bucharest officials are known for arbitrarily deciding that a fiance visa application is a sham, especially if the American fiance isn't there. " In the original thread - refered to a mention that I had JUST BEEN TO MOLDOVA in January of 2004 and I would not be able to accompany my fiance on a trip from Moldova to Bucharest Romania so quickly in April 2004. I was not able to go back ("make another trip") to accompany her so soon and she would have to go to Bucharest without me. Before you call me a liar - do the research and read the thread. Thunderdome Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/28/2007 2:43:51 AM   DrKoop, amoungst all posters here Jet's the worst one to brand a liar. Without mentioning any names here I've got it on good, and multiple, authority that he's as straight as a ruler, however this just confirmed my impression his posts have made on me. Not on you? Whatever your reason for posting that quote, maybe a quick "Oops" should be in order I guess? Jet, back to the wine. I'm sure you've had them all, the French, local, Brazilian, South African and Eastern European. Why now this specific Moldovan wine? Is it that special or just up your memory lane? The reason why I ask is that, according to me, if you've tasted one fortified (sweet dessert wine) wine you've tasted them all, and this presumably is. This in stark contradiction to especially estate wines which, to use a worn classic, can blanket one's tongue with all intricacies of that estate. If ever you'll visit I'll serve a white (yup, white!) which you'll remember, it stands out head & shoulders. Nasfan, do's a favour and mail me? Lost your addy mate - Oops! :) DrKoop Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/28/2007 6:51:30 AM   I understand now what you meant by "I have to send my fiance and her Rusiian speaking mother there in a few months. There is no way I can make another trip to accompany her. And, it seems, that Bucharest officials are known for arbitrarily deciding that a fiance visa application is a sham, especially if the American fiance isn't there." Also, I corrected a few spellings (so how did I geet so lucky) to make you look good. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/28/2007 4:45:09 PM   DrKoop: Never depend on someone else's quote. Always check the scource. If you had not relied exclusively on a quote of a quote of me from Amir - your mistake would not have happened. And I don't need you to play the part of the spelling-police to make me look good. Thunder: Thank you for the kind words. The wine I refer to IS a "desert wine". It should probably be called something like a light liquere as it is not a classic wine by any means. It comes with a screw on cap even! I have tasted others from different areas as well but it there is something about the herbs and extract in this "Moldova Bouquet" that make is unique. Regarding visiting to try that white wine you refer to - you are certainly one in this forum who I would like to meet someday. You might recall good old "Tim" a contributor from way back - who I spent a great day with in London some time back. I also met "izzifadag" and "neonred" in Florida, spending a day with them in 2005. If I ever make it to your part of the world I would love to meet you as well. hammer6832003 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 4/29/2007 4:47:21 PM   Jetmba, now that im married to very beautiful woman from chisinau i to have look for wine from moldova and yes you can by here in the u.s. we now live around dallas and there is a market ion plano tx that sells wine from moldova the only difference is it is bottled in russian bottles but it states made in moldova i havent been here on this site for a while and i was just looking thru some of the topics and found this one seems things havent changed to much but maybe they will get better here is the name of the market that sells the wine Euro deli 2 Your Reply: Your name:   New Registration Password:   Forgot password?   refresh Code:   Russian brides > Main Forum > MOLDOVAN WINE
