Descendants of early settlers of Mays Landing planted Balic Winery, a vineyard since the early 1900's. Savo Balic, a former vine-grower from the Adriatic Sea, migrated to the United States. In 1966 he fulfilled his lifelong desire to bring European accent to the American winemaking scene by acquiring this 57-acre vineyard.

If you want to conquer the wine-drinking masses, it helps to name your wine after a conqueror. That's what Bojan Boskovic, owner of Balic Winery in Mays Landing, did.
The newest of the 30 different kinds of wine he produces is Alexander the Great, a red wine he describes as "rich in tannins, very in-depth and rich in the body." Made primarily with Vranac grapes, the wine is a blend that Boskovic, 37, will reveal nothing else about.
