It’s rare, it’s special – this is tihanyi kék, one of a bunch of almost extinct Hungarian varieties. I’m happy to review the 2020 here, after the 2018 and 2019. Even though I tasted this variety quite a few times, it blew me away again – it is that distinct.

Affordable red burgundy to buy: Domaine des Remparts Irancy Les Cailles 2022
At 18,38€ this is still a very affordable burgundy and I had no big expectations to be honest. But then I was blown away by the beauty of the wine… buy until stock last!
Pretty midweek red from Sardegna – Santadi Antigua, Monica di Sardegna 2017

I probably never tasted any wines made from Sardinia’s local grape variety, Monica. This one called Antigua and made by Santadi is quite pretty, I would be happy to drink this with or without food.
