This week I visited the Humana second hand shop on Szent István boulevard, between Jászai Mari square and Nyugati railway station. I’ve heard a lot about this one, so I decided to give it a go.

Xpat Opinion: Heavenly Hungarian Wine, Part 5: Tokaj & Gizella Pince
- 16 Jul 2013 9:00 AM
- food & drink
I can easily name a few wine regions that without doubt deserves much more attention. Tokaj is one of those. Yes, it is a well-known region, world famous even, but still very much in need of an update amongst a majority of the wine consumers.
