After the recent scandals surrounding Hungary’s 2005 “Winemaker of the Year” the people who give out the award must have been pretty darn careful about who they chose to give their gong to this time. So it’s not a big shock that the honors this time went to György Lőrinc of St. Andrea (left, with his wife – and winery namesake – Andrea), who over the past few years has done more than anyone to show the world that Eger is not just about Bull’s Blood. If you haven’t tried any of their wines, you should, as I’ve never had a dud from them. The bottles themselves are also famous for being remarkably well designed, making them perfect holiday presents – assuming the award doesn’t mean they are all sold out. Congrats.
Totally agree !! I have met György last year and really enjoyed his wines. Love the Aldas Bikaver !
