I\u2019m here in Hungary, judging the Pannon Wine Challenge 2012.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a nice group of judges this year. Three panels, each led by Hungarians, with two international judges on each.<\/p>\n

The local judges are Gabriella M\u00e9z\u00e1ros, Andr\u00e1s Kat\u00f3 and L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Romsics, and the international judges are Alder Yarrow, Tara Q Thomas, Isabelle Legeron, Wojciech Bonkowski, John Szabo and me.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re staying in Gy\u0151r, a pretty town roughly equidistant between Budapest and Vienna. The judging itself is taking place at the Pannohalma Arch Abbey in the restaurant\/conference centre Viator.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a fine set up for judging: each of us logs in on our laptops and enters a score and a tasting note for each wine directly into the system. We discuss the wines as we go. As there are 300 entered, we can give each one the attention it deserves.<\/p>\n

Yesterday we covered the whites and about half the reds. Some great Furmints, some lovely H\u00e1rslevel\u0171s, and for the reds I enjoyed some of the K\u00e9kfrankos wines, as well as the odd Kadarka. Merlot and Chardonnay were less impressive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
