Mario Mario, here you go again, we sure missed you for a year or so, but here you are back with your easily identified style, even woithout signature I would have recognized you.


Only 4 questions, definitely below your average per post, but crossposted on 5 newsgroups?


You have Google, you have books surely, maybe you should use them and save your questions on the NG for more specific items.

I did try to check on book and yahoo and google and i didnt get much than only one web site very general, else i will not be so stupid to ask !

It seams u r just here to complain sweet Mike, u enjoy that way of you being?

Those not in Romania & Moldova.

Actually the Czech Republic has some interesting reds, Frankova & Vavrinishki(sp). In the Cold War Premiat from Romainia had decent QPR wines and there are some of the traditional varietals that can be a nice quaff, but in general Hungary & The Czech Republic are more promising,

Spot on Ken.

I am planning a trip to Romania and Moldova, have any of you being there?

Look for Bull's Blood, it's from Hungary and Romania. >>

BB is a well-known Hungarian product, but the unique one is the dessert wine Tokay. It'll never be cheap at the top levels, but you might used this occasion to do a little tasting at the source and cradle one or two superb bottles in your carry-ons on return. A very pleasant trip to take from Budapest is the day-long visit to Lake Balaton and its wineries. A delicious local lunch is usually included, with several different wines.

A good idea, except that the OP is *not* asking for Hungarian wine... Anders

OK, I'll have go here: Murfatlar Late Harvest Chardonnay is a good QPR even here in Finland and not a bad dessert wine in any case.

However, my limited experiences with other Romanian wines have not been so good.

Cheers,
