Why Are We Doing This?
"Do what you love, love what you do"
Kristóf and I have bounced around the wine and spirits industry on both sides of the oceans, fulfilling many different roles. It’s this experience that we hope to share and continue to grow through the opening of our wine bar and starting of a wine tourism business.
Kicking off a blog is a natural extension of progress. It pushes us to keep researching, trying out new wines, learning more about the vast alcohol universe, and exploring Hungary.
We opened the wine bar with the double intent of also creating a social club﹣ a place to encourage networking and friendship. After all, while enjoying wine can be a personal experience, it’s undeniably better when shared with friends.
