What if someone put on a tasting with so many wines that, even if you spit after every sip, you’d still absorb enough alcohol through your tongue to put you in the hospital? Well, Monarchia has done it again, with this year’s mammoth portfolió kóstoló (“portfolio tasting”), held Tuesday at Remíz.

As part of our new practice of focusing on practical, user-driven “tasting notes” for individual wines – rather than stories about what industry people have to say – below is a list of comment-enabled entries for all the domestic wines splashed out on Tuesday. (The tasting also featured foreign wines marketed by Monarchia, but our beat is Hungary so we only include magyar borok.) And since we didn’t want to spend Tuesday night in the kórház, we are currently (as of 16:00 today – see pic above) doing a bit of “mopping up” here in the office with some of the bottles we didn’t get around to at the “official” tasting.

So if you were at the tasting, or otherwise happen to have an opinion on any of these wines, please feel free to jump in by clicking through and leaving a comment… or 83.
