Special Guest Appearance!

Here’s your chance to discover Croatia and Hungary. These countries have been making wine for centuries and are finally getting noticed by more and more wine drinkers.

We at Murray Hill Wines will be attending the Wines of Croatia & Hungary class tonight at 167 West 23rd Street, hosted by NYC Wine Class with guest Cliff Rames of the PR firm Wines of Croatia (also the Sommelier at the Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa at the Plaza as well as a 'Certified Specialist of Wine', CSW). On a recent trip to his Croatian homeland, Cliff sourced the distinct bottles we’ll taste today.

Wines from the Mediterranean Sea, the Dinaric Alps and the Adriatic Sea offer such unique diversity. The exploration of wines from the coast versus the mountains reveals how much of a role climate and soil play in wine. Take word from Robert Parker, Oz Clarke and Jancis Robinson, who have all applauded these Eastern European varieties. You’ll also learn about the link between Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Croatia, amongst entertaining tidbits of Croatia’s winemaking history.

Andrew Harwood, founder of NYC Wine Company, will discuss Hungarian wines. A former winemaker in Tokaj, Andrew can reveal stories of the fabled zone, while sharing his favorite grapes and regions (Bull’s Blood, Furmint, Hárslevelű, Kékfrankos, Kadarka and more).
