RE: MyPictureDay: Winemaking in Hungary

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Living the dream! I have friends who do similar things here in the States. I've only drank wine in Budapest - yet to make it to wine country there. Hoping Tokaj someday, they are Sonoma's sister city.

Are you familiar with Agoston Haraszthy? He's a Hungarian who is considered the father of the American wine industry. I live very close to the winery he started.

What wine varietals are you picking and growing?

p.s. cool Toy Dolls shirt!

Sort:  

you live close to Buena Vista? Ive been there! There is also a winery just called "Harasthy" in Napa but they dont have tastings unless you call and make an appointment.

I plan to grow Albarino and Pinot Noir here in California. Ive been talking to a winemaker in Paso Robles about the right varietals I can grow here. In Hungary my family grow Leanyka, which is a varietal only found in Hungary and Romania.

lol I picked up that shirt during a Toy Dolls concert in Pomona. those were the days...

by the way I have friends in the Tokaji region who are kind of like the ambassadors of that region, and they have been to Sonoma because of the whole sister city thing and did a tour. Its been a while since Ive been up there but I plan to go back soon.
