Bitch Moan and Wine Tasting: The Wines of the Baron von Twickel Vineyard in Szekszard. For our third wine tasting, sampled a fine selection of red wines from the Baron von Twickle Vineyard in Szekszard (formally Szekszard Zrt.). Representing the vineyard was Mr. Nayan Gowda, the new Head Wine Maker, and Baron von Twickel himself. The vineyard was kind enough to sponsor this event with a selection of 6 red wines, including:

2007 Chateau Kajmád Rosé
2005 Liszt Bikavér
2003 Chateau Kajmád Cuvée
2005 Chateau Kajmád Kadarka
2006 Chateau Kajmád Merlot
2006 Chateau Kajmád Cabernet Sauvignon

Of course, all of these are availbale at a low price from Bitch Moan and Wine.I particularly enjoyed the Kadarka, Cabernet Sauvignon and Rose, in that order.

The Baron entertained us with stories about his family and how they returned to Hungary from Germany and got involved in the wine business.

In our tradition to promote local food producers, the event was co-sponsored the "Kitchen from Mars" (Mars Beli Bolt), who just opened their doors not too long ago. They offer home deliveries and just recently opened a shop in the Fény utcai Market lower level (which is located on the back of Mammut shopping mall in Buda near Moszkva tér). There was some very nice chocolate mousse with chili, polenta with sage, feta cream with sun dried tomatoes and focaccia bread with black olives, and a number of other succulent items to try.

The wine tastings bring together a very good mix of people, and offer an excellent networking opportunity.  If you want to become a member and get discounted top-notch wines, or come to the wine tastings, please contact the Bitch Moan and Wine Society at wine@bitchmoanwine.com
