Titans of Tokaj
Friday, May 24th 2013, 6:30-8pm Vine Street
Tokaj:
In North-Eastern Hungary, Tokaji - Hegyalja warranted the world’s first appellation system – over 100 years before Bordeaux. For nearly 400 years, it has served as a diplomatic tool to court foreign powers, inspired countless artists and philosophers, and has become so ingrained in Hungarian identity that it’s part of their National Anthem.
**In most cases, less than 10 cases of each wine have ever been imported to the United States.**
