World Heritage (I)





Loving wines, not just because of the uniqueness found in every single bottle, but also the history & culture behind the wine. In June this year, I went to a wine region in Hungary to have a touch of 'culture' there. In fact, this region was listed in the World Heritage list in 2002. That is TOKAJ.

Although the company I work at does not offer any Hungarian wines, yet I truly believe to learn about wines, we have to study all different kinds of wines from all over the World. Together with the undrestanding of wines through tastings, and personal experience in different wine regions, we can then gain deeper knowledge in the vast subject on wines.

I have only stayed for 2 days during my trip. Even though this was such a short period of time, I have already fallen in love with this place. The calmness of living and the quiet environment really attract me! Also, the importance of wines to the people living in this little town...
