Alexandra: Sounds like Burgenland was more Hungarian than Austrian! My parents emigrated from Budapest after WWII and chicken paprikash and Gulyash soup were staples. Is there a chance that Blaufrankisch was a component in Egri Bikaver? (sometimes called "Bull's Blood") And I'm guessing that the prices you quoted were for NYC retail.... hard to find these wines out here in California!
Jason, great article - any feelings on producers outside of Burgenland? Finger Lakes & Shenandoah Valley versions both seem to have great promise. Thanks - Will
Loved this one, Alexandra!
