Bestillo Pálinkas
Only spirits made in Hungary from Hungarian ingredients can be called pálinkas. The formula seems simple, but nature always has surprises in store. The owners of Bestillo faced a difficult situation due to climate change, but they took some risks and looked for a solution. This is how the new Vilmoskörte Pálinka (fruit brandy made from Williams pear) and Piros Vilmos Párlat (Red Williams Pear Fruit Brandy), partly made from Italian pears, were finally made.

Wines of the Month
We have selected five good wines for March: the new, floral, vibrant vintage of A Nyúl has arrived from the Ruppert Winery; while the 2022 Konyári Loliense Fehér (White) and an organic prosecco from Case Paolin are also making their debuts. We really liked Dávid Bökő's red from Tihany at cellar temperature, drunk in big sips. Vespres, which recalls refined Burgundian reds, is one of our great discoveries from the Spanish family winery of Josep Grau.

Grand Vintage 2015 & Rosé 2015
Champagne is the frontline of viticulture. The weather there is capricious and extreme, and in the region of May frosts and August monsoons, only those growers who have learned to deal with the risk have been able to survive.
