Wine Region
Hungary
Hungary pours the wines your group chat has not heard of yet, from volcanic whites around Lake Balaton to Villány reds and Tokaj's famous sweet aszú. Tokaj was classified in 1737, generations before Bordeaux got around to it. Cellars here are often family-run rooms carved into hillsides, and the crowds have not caught up.
