According to the SWUA mission, vision and purpose, we work to unite people with the common interest in Slovenian culture and traditions. One way to do this is by providing resources, such as the SWUA museum, recipes and links to related information on the internet. A Taste of Slovenian Wines For all of the wine connoisseurs we have found a new source of information on Slovenian wine. The http://www.slovenianpremiumwines.com/ web site is aesthetically attractive, but more importantly, user-friendly source of everything on Slovenian wine and where you can enjoy them in the United States. You can find introductions into wines by regions, presentation of Slovenian wine makers, and can use the site as a useful source of news and events.
