We enjoyed these wines with the rustic local dishes. After dinner, some of us had more wine at a local bar. The group went quite wild! But, since I was going to fly to Budapest the following day, I left around 2.30am. Some of them still stayed for more drinks. Crazy fun people. It was the perfect final night with the fun wine friends.
