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. You see, not only are there more than sweet stuff emerging from Tokaj, but the amber shimmering elixir now also comes in a style that too many are yet to ...

In Miskolc I was able to meet the mayor and chat with him about local developments and challenges, I gave a presentation to the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county Chamber of Commerce and explained the opportunities which exist for collaboration with good British ...
Escape From Budapest To Samui: Bhundhari Spa Resort & Villas
- 22 Jun 2013 8:00 AM
- travel

The best Hungarian breweries, local “kezmuves” lager factories and the world’s beer super-powers were ...
