Furmint

The other day, Ally recommended a Hungarian white wine made with the Furmint grape. While Hungary is mostly known for its sweet dessert wines that are made using the same grape, both Anna and I loved this dry variant. As often, I realize that it has been my own prejudices that have kept me from discovering how much some countries have improved as wine producers in recent years.

Today it is Saturday which of course means Parkrun. Running next to William, we had a great run in the autumn sunshine, including some wild downhill sprints in 2:50 min/km. And in three hours, we will pick up my parents at the railway station to make sure they know everything they need to know in anticipation of our big trip.
