This was the wine I received from my friend when he was leaving Czech Republic. It got silver medal at "Vino Tirnavia" (who knows what it is...). On the label the recommendation is that "wine is divine medium and this particular wine has no competitor". So we opened it to accompany our delicious pasta bolognese. Knowing it was a Slovak wine we were a bit suspicious. When opened it was clear our suspicion was justified. Lenka actually refused to drink it (I didn't blame her). So we opened another bottle. I remember my friend mentioned he had some dodgy wines that he can only drink with his colleagues who are not wine specialists. I didn't know I would be one of these "colleagues".... :)
On the web we found the price is currently 290 SKK. (10 EUR). They must be joking!!!!
Be careful. I didn't buy it. It was a present to me. Also, it is from Matysak which has a decent reputation. Finally, you should double-check if this was in the wine for you, or the wine I asked you to distribute to others. Maybe you forgot to distribute :-)
