| Go with the Tokaj. They can range from sweet to semi-dry.I don't understand why they characterize their wines as "fiery" Some wines give a feeling of "heat" in the back of the throat and are harsh. The last thing I want in a wine is a wine that is so young or of low quality that the harshness takes away from the pleasure of consuming them. |

| With TallPaul on this, Tokay Aszu. Worth spending the extra on an OK bottle as the cheaper ones can be a disappointment.Rod, wrong country for your Antifrreze comment... and over 20 years late to be topical. |

If your friend likes desert wine or Port, then go with a Tokaj Aszu.. Higher "putanyos" means sweeter the wine (sweetest being 6 putanyos).Other then that, Bock makes fantastic wine! Definitely the perfect gift! Hungary produces 2/3 white wine, and 1/3 rose or red wine... therefore I recommend a good bottle of white, more good bottles to choose from  |

| Tokai is a very sweet dessert vine, kind of like ice vine (made very different but similar taste) and a lot of people do not like too sweet. I like to have a small glass chilled with or insead of dessert or even cook dessert with Tokai. As a gift I would recommend somethig else. Go to the website of Otto's Imports (website below) and look for Kekfrankos (red, needs to breathe for couple minutes) or Leanyka (white, serve cold) Preatty mutch all the vine they have is really good! Hungarian vines have a very unique flavor and body that pros like to call it "earthy" -it means the soil is very mature and has been growing vine for hundreds of years. You can taste it in the vine! Make sur you vill let it seat horizontal for at least a week before opening if you have it shipped! |
