Czech Wine Review

Possess one of the most exciting part for me Uncorked Ventures is the opportunities it gives me a new and exciting wines to be found. My business partner Matt and I have the possibility of establishing an import-page discussion about the economy. There are some obvious advantages, especially when we put on the export to the top. To be honest, will probably be quite slow in coming, but it's something we've discussed, and it made for an interesting conversation with a group of wineDealers from the Czech Republic.

I'm sure most of you read, think the same thing: They make wine in the Czech Republic? I have included a small card, because I realize that many people may not even know where the land is situated.

To start a part of the reason why I was interested in talking to the wine merchant from the Czech Republic that my wife and I went to Prague for our Honeymoon.

Prague is a beautiful city and we enjoyed ourTime there. The people were incredibly nice, it was a great experience in a location where it was at the time will just opened up to capitalism (the Czechs won their independence in 1989, his). I do not want to spend the time to go into the history of the country here, but the Czech Republic was perhaps the country in the former Soviet bloc, where most resistance against the Communist regime made available.

Thus, a quick word about the food. They are very serious steak and potatoes as well as a rather famousfor their beers, from where there are two ways that we sometimes find in the United States, which is really as good as any beer I've ever had ... overall.

Given the tradition of creating world-class alcoholic beverages, I was interested in trying the wine. I also thought that, after driving through the area on the way to Karlovy (the original Carlsbad), we had seen a few vines Vary. The Czech Republic is also in a geographical location (and thus temperature profile), thecould produce some excellent white wines, much in the same style of German Riesling.

Ok, so over the wine. Back to the top, it was a Pinot Gris, which I am usually not a big fan of the States.

Overall, the four of us that the wine all thought it was pretty well have tried. It was sweeter then I was on the planning, but with some of the other white, we have compared's recently, I tried would say it was simply a better bottle then what we found at Costco. It does not have muchmakes use of easily identifiable flavors, it was only a bottle, you say ... pretty good.

The bottom line for me: I think the Czech winemakers have their wine (in this quality) in the U.S. export market today ... Of course, if the price and marketing approach was correct. My suggestion would be much like the Chilean winemakers have in California position. Sell their wine at entry level prices and try to make the call, although not necessarily in largeeach bottle, each and every wine of the country is well ... and affordable. I think there is some real room for the market, especially here in California, where we tend to get too oaky Chardonnay ... or French, the whites seem to live a good reputation earned 50 + years.

I would say go to pick up a bottle ... But if you have a trip to Central Europe, which will not be able to plan!

We still have a second bottle of Riesling wine from another, thatI'm going to open on my next trip to Napa with my business partner.

Finally, the full disclosure of two bottles of wine for me were sent as samples and were therefore free of charge. I'm never good for an overview, if I have not tried the wine, and I would not buy it at some level for my own wine club.
