A 6-course harvest dinner great story tellers

SommSelect: “a food wine extraordinaire”

The Californian webshop sells exciting, carefully selected wines from several countries including Armenia, Lebanon and Hungary. From the Heimanns they offer Kékfrankos Bati Kereszt 2019. The wine illustrates well the low intervention philosophy of Zoltán Heimann Jr. As David Lynch sommelier and editorial director commented: “In addition to farming organically, the Heimanns are on the cutting edge of natural winemaking trends, typically bottling their wines with the tracest amount of sulfur possible.”
