Slovak Wine cellars


AINova, the academy in Svaty Jur celebrated its 10th anniversary last night with many guests and EU diplomats - some as far as Brussels. After listening to the achievements of the academy, we had a buffet in one of Slovakia's many underground cellars, which are usually only reserved for important functions.
This also gave us an opportunity to taste some of Slovakia's magnificent wines with some experts from the local area. They tell me that this year will be an exceptional year for wine, thanks to Slovakia's extensive summer. Although I know nothing about wine, Michal, my student invited me to taste some of the fantastic wine from the region in the Carpathian mountains.
It is the end of October and the temperature is still above 18C.
