"Historically, Hungary has been a wine-drinking nation, and today there are 22 wine regions in the country, most famously Tokaj in the northeast. At Marlou, a sleek wine bar hidden on a side street behind the Hungarian State Opera House, you can try Tokaj’s sweets and dries, along with other local and French wines. French proprietor Jean-Julien Ricard works with small, conscientious producers, and many natural and biodynamic labels appear on the menu." - Tas Tobias
