The absense of Hungarian wines is remarkable to me. In Austria I looked
and could find none, Germany the same. In the Czech Republic I could
find any number of forgetable Czech wines but non from Hungary.

I got mine from the store described by someone on the Vaci Utca. Bacchus
(?) it was on the river side ofthe street about a block from the
Elizabeth Bridge. Nice store, young girl working seemed to know her
stuff. When she saw my list (Thank you M Pronay) she shoook her head
when I pointed to one selection and said "Wrong 'Gere' you want this
one!" and when picking the Chardonnay for which I had no reference she
recommended the cheaper of three that she offered.
