Dry red wine–perfect pairing for turkey, salmon, and roasted chicken.  This wine is a 100% Kadarka.  A beautiful jewel toned wine–slightly vitreous–notes of wild cherry, Eucalyptus, pepper, chile Ancho.

Patricius Tokaji Furmint – 2008 – 9.2 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

Hungary is increasingly better known for it’s dry wines; the Furmint grape–the national white wine grape of Hungary is a stunning wine for any taste and occasion.

The minerality, alcohol and acid are well balanced in this wine; presenting with diverse notes of green citrus, white nectarine, Spitzenberg apple and hint of truffle honey and fennel.

¡Salud!

Szõke Mátyás and Zoltan Matra Királyleányka – 2007 – 9.4 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

A native grape of Hungary–don’t let the spelling or pronouncation get in the way of enjoying a great wine–it is remarkably easy to pronounce and unbelievably easy to enjoy.  Probably a combination of two grapes  Kövérszőlő and Leányka.  this wine should be in your wine vocabulary and in particular this producers version.   this wine offers a delight combination of dryness balanced with high acid mid-range alcohol.   Notes of pear and Calville Blanc d’Hiver apple (yes this specific apple)–which I have only found at the Greenmarket at Union Square in New York, hint of Meyer lemon zest, blanketed with a kiss of cardamom, cinnamon and almond.   Great to pair with Asian fare and seafood.

Pfneiszl Sopron Kékfrankos – 2007 – 8.9 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

I think of a Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch) as being the closest to rose petals if rose petals tasted good.  This wine has notes of seared black plum, focused spice and rose petal.  A fantastic wine that is markedly different from other red wines.  Low alcohol (13%) and this would be a wonderful wine on any dinner table.

¡Salud!

Craftsman Neszméy Cserszegi Füszeres – 2009 – 8.9 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

A seemingly hard wine to pronounce but easier to do so after a little practice.  But there is no practice in enjoying this wine.  A wine that is aromatic but superbly dry on taste—Comice pear, green apple, citrus and white pepper.  If you like Sauvignon Blanc fan you will love this wine.  An excellent wine for seafood and Asian fare.

¡Salud!
