Number 2/2018

Spring has sprung and love is all around. Along with plenty of large wine competitions of course. It’s incredible to see such small countries as the Czech Republic and Slovakia, who produce 3 and 2 thousandth worth of the world’s wine production respectively, become major players at the largest and most famous competitions around the world. And it’s fantastic to watch the successes they are reaping!

Josef Valihrach picked up the world champion title at the world’s oldest competition in Lubljana –and for his very new variety of Cabernet Blanc no less! Meanwhile Znovín Znojmo picked up five gold medals out of six registered wines!

With their Pinot Blanc Late Harvest 2015, Vinselekt Michlovský picked up the Grand Prix at the Pinot Blanc championship competition.

Shining as this year’s brightest star are the Ostrožovič family from Slovakia’s Tokaj region picking up the Grand Prix award in the category of Les Vins Blancs de Cépages et d’Assemblages du Monde in Strasburg, Vinalies d´Or for the best sweet wine at the Vinalies Internationales in Paris and the Bacchus d´ Oro award for the best sweet wine at Bacchus in Madrid – all top rated competitions by VinoFed!

Long may this trend continue!

In our 27-year history, this is our first ever double issue. And it’s yours to keep!
But to say it’s a double issue does the work an injustice, since in fact you are holding two fully-fledged magazines by 164 pages, all in one for your festive and New Year’s reading.
We’re especially proud to be able to take you with us on a journey to one of the world’s most expensive wineries – Spain’s famous winery of Vega Sicilia.
And you get to experience it with us. Simply amazing!
On top of this, we’ll introduce you to France’s former president Jacques Chirac’s personal sommelier, plus take you around a whole range of excellent wineries in Moravia.
You can also look forward to catching a glimpse of Thanksgiving Dinner in Texas. We went to Austin to take part in a really lovely international competition where our wines picked up 10 double golds and 17 golds, leaving behind an outstanding impression!
To fly to the other side of the world without gathering plenty of interesting material for you would have been a crime – hence the theme of this issue – Special Texas.
And don’t worry, there’s plenty left for the next issue!
So don’t say we never spoil you!

This 92-page issue can be divided into two main topics – world competitions and the successes of our wines on them (and they are SO MANY!), and a look back on history – the anniversary of Valtice Wine Fair with Jan Otáhal’s book, the development in evaluation of the competitions with Ton Kolsteeg, the twenty years of the Pardubice Wine Festival or fifteen years of Harmonia Vini, onbe of leading wine distributors. It’s good to remember, especially for that.

And head out to Tokaj with Ostrozovic’s, their splendid wines and the excellent sommelier Maťo Šándor.

Summer has finally arrived which means vacations, relaxation, beach,  barbecue and of course, wine! Wine in all of its forms, but mainly some light,
easy on palate, refreshing and something fizzy or bubbly, which will add a seasonal sparkle to our glasses!
Summer also evokes relaxed laziness, plenty of ice-cream together with summer romances. And travels. Lots of travels.
Although this edition is being published with a short yet unavoidable delay (for which we would really like to apologize to all our readers) we would still like
to offer you some interesting travel tips for an interesting destination which may be very close, yet at the same time almost unknown to most of our readers. Wine voyage will take us to a German wine region of Kaiserstuhl into the area of Schwarzwald, followed by a gourmet tour right behind the borders of Bavaria, into the cities of Regensburg and Vilshofen at Donau river.

How to recover lost energy after the winter?
Vitamins, movement, body cleansing. But that’s not all.
If we give more love to our lives, if we do something for others, we will feel better, we will live better.
For seven years now, we have been helping collect and transport samples to the world’s largest charity winning competition, the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, whose entire proceeds are funded by the camp for oncologically ill children. Since then, we’ve been sending the same samples to the Great American Wine Competition, which also has a charitable dimension.
For the first time in seven years we managed to cross the limit of 200 Czech, Moravian and Slovak samples! Unbelievable 55 wineries decided to support a good thing!
It’s just beautiful to enter spring, enriched by helpfulness, good intentions
and with the feeling that our wineries are helping beyond the ocean. That feeling is worth it!
The beautiful medals we bring will be a nice bonus and memory.

The heavens have opened and gold and silver are raining on the heads of our winemakers and their wines!
It’s a time when the outstanding results of our wines achieved in the past are taking on a new dimension.
We’re delighted to have had the occasion to witness these results first-hand and even be able to contribute organisationally to a number of them.

We will stop at the best wineries in Alsace, in Moravia we visited Pavel Pastorek in Čejkovice, we discovered the distinct wines of Jakub Zborovský, followed by the championship titles in France and America.

And let’s not forget – Tomáš Jakeš takes us to his kitchen U Kapličky and Barbora Ryzí’ in the Wine Wellness in Hustopeče.
