Longtime readers may have wondered why we haven't seen more from our esteemed contributor Carolyn Bánfalvi. Well, in addition to all her various book projects and children, she and her husband/collaborator Gábor have also been busy with a new events company called Taste Hungary, which (as the name indicates) specializes in culinary tourism and education here in Hungary. And when I say "specialize" I mean specialize. Just consider the event they are hosting this Thursday at Kashmir restaurant in District VI, which addresses head-on a question I know has long baffled local wine connoisseurs, namely: Just how well does Tokaj go with Indian food?

Thanks to the miracle of the Internet, I don't need to list all the details of the event, which you can read about here. (For those who are too lazy to do so, it will pair wines from the Hudácskó winery with a variety of continental delights, and offers some other enticements, including free tickets to the upcoming Eger Wine Gala.) From what I understand, just a few places are still left at the table, so as they say, act now if you are interested.
