Grgic Vina in the SF Bay area?

My friends and I were in Croatia earlier this summer and had wanted to buy a bottle or two from Grgic Vina... but were afraid of transporting it (we were backpacking). Does anyone know where we might be able to find Grgic (from the Croatian winery, not the Napa one) near the SF bay area? Thanks!

    I need to update this by stating that Oenocentric in NYC has started importing the Grgic wines from Croatia.

      If you mean from the winery in Trstenik, it's not imported in to the US. The folks at the Napa winery did it for a little bit, but it proved too difficult with US Customs, shipping, and the cost they could get for it, given that Croatian wine is still relatively unknown. The wines of Bibich, Zlatan Plenkovic, Bura, and Dingac can all be had here as well as others. The first two are wines that I feel are stronger and better priced than the Grgic wines unless you just wanted it for sentimental reasons. Sorry for the late reply, but I just found your post now.
