yes...Saturday was a dangerous day:
Alex) hurt the right hand thumb during a bad carve;
Arnaud) try to kill a skier with his sword named "swoard";
Francesco) some out of slope...he likes to do kamikaze carving.
but all though this the day has gone fine

I think it's a good idea, although I would like to be in decent shaper early in the morning...

Nils, 'Tokaji' is for tourists....

It is a very sweet desert wine, we do not really drink that. But we have very nice cabernet sauvignons, cabernet francs, cuvees from the 2, merlots, etc. Small quantity, not able to cover the world with export, but very good quality.
You can join the club with some grand crus from a good Bordeaux chateau...

Nils, I've never tasted that one, but read that nowadays Pétrus is considered to be the most interesting of the Pomerols.
And indeed, great wines should not travel a lot.... but otherwise how can I drink a good Italian / French wine in Hungary?
Kindest,
István
