Upcoming Tastings
Wines From Hungary
Thursday, October 1st
5pm-7pm
We Welcome
Athena From Palinkerie
In the winter of 2013, Athena, an LSAT teacher and Hungarian wine devotee decided to invent her dream job, arranging to ship 270 cases of wine from Hungary to NYC. 12+ later, Athena helped change the landscape of Hungarian wine in New York. Needless to say, we were sad when we heard the news that Athena has decided to shut down her company. Because of Athena, our staff have become Hungarian wine enthusiasts. We hope you will join us for this final tasting/celebration of all that Athena achieved. For those of you who are familiar with our Hungarian wines, we have two new additions to the store which will be part of the line-up.

Wassmann Kékfrankos 2017

Within two weeks of their first visit to Hungary, they packed up and moved from Germany (where Ralf was a winemaker) to Pécsdevecser. They embraced natural winemaking wishing to make delicious, well-balanced wines with minimal intervention that respected the land on which they lived and worked. They were the first winery in Hungary to certify organic in 2003 and the second to certify biodynamic 2011. Kékfrankos (pronounced cake-frank-osh), also known as blaufränkisch, is a component of Bull's Blood (Hungary’s most famous red blend).The bottle featured for this tasting is meaty with bright red berry and a spicy finish.
