SUNDAY October 4th at 8:06 pm EST on wksu.org HD4
Museum's 30th VINTNER DINNER event featured with special guests Elmer and Andrea Meszaros -
From the Kapossy Radio's site:
Join us for a fun program where the main topic is W**E!
SUNDAY October 4th at 8:06 pm on wksu.org HD4
Special guests Elmer and Andrea Meszaros from the Cleveland Hungarian Museum will talk about 5 unique Hungarian w**es featured in the Museum’s 30th Annual Fund-raising Vintner Dinner to be held on October 16th.
FUN W**E FACTS – Elmer shares little nuggets throughout the hour, like: just how much does the ‘nose’ have to do with tasting w**e? When is a w**e ‘balanced’?
4 main taste groups but a thousand taste impressions?
Are all w**es ‘fruity’ or just the sweet w**es?
Why don’t they ever fill a glass with w**e?
And, why can we only get a few Hungarian w**es locally when there are so many unique and excellent w**es from the many w**e growing regions of Hungary?
How is availability and accessibility of Hungarian w**es in Ohio and the United States today?
The delicious descriptions of the 5 special w**es will make your mouth water! And you’ll hear it all in a most delightful blending of the featured w**es and the details of the accompanying meal at this year’s Annual Vintner Dinner.
You don’t have to be a w**e connoisseur to enjoy the friendly and informative conversation and learn about these unique w**es and Hungary’s centuries long history and love affair with crafting fine w**es.
