Hungary for love? Then fall in love with Hungarian wines. 
In this episode, we focus on winemaking in Hungary. Beginning with talk of terroir and excellent winemaking regions, such as Tokaji and Szekszárd, we move on to discuss grapes of note, such as Furmint, Kékfrancos and Traminer.
 
Our special co-host, Ferdinando Mucerino, former sommelier and Wine Director at the Michelin Star awarded Rustic Canyon restaurant in Santa Monica and 2019 nominee for Wine Enthusiast magazine for Best Wine Director of the Year, starts us off by sharing historical insight into the region including colorful anecdotes behind blends of note, such as Bikavér.
 
During the podcast, we'll taste 2017 Tűzkő Kékfrankos D.O.P and 2019 Tűzkő Traminer D.O.P., offering detailed flavor notes and pairings. Towards the end of the podcast, we'll teach you a few Hungarian words and suggest a couple of Valentine's Day pairings. Egészségedre!
