Before there was Burgundy, there was Tokaj, the iconic region in southern Hungary. Perhaps most known for sweet wine - it's home to the first recorded wines to use botrytis, or noble rot, in production, predating even the famed Sauternes in that category - the broad offering of Tokaj doesn't end there: the ancient winemaking tradition includes savory, elegant Champagne method bubbles, nervy, mineral dry whites full of texture and nuance, botrytized wines fermented dry and aged under flor (Hungary's compelling alternative to sherry), and more in between.

Our friend Brian Stapleton of Danch & Granger will be back at Solano to highlight the new arrivals from our favorite producers from (in our opinion) one of the greatest wine regions in the world.
