The Vintners of Tokaji

Happy New Year 2017, or in Hungarian, "Boldog Új Evet Kívánok 2017.” I hope your next 12 months are the best ever!

A few months back, our puzzle featured towns and villages of the Tokaji region of Hungary. This month’s puzzle contains clues naming the various wine producers of the area.

Sweet Tokaji wine is considered one of the oldest and most valuable varietals in world. Bottles of this type of wine are still drinkable from vintages dating back to the 1700s. The precious and rare essencia wines contain less than 3% alcohol and are consumed in very small portions by sipping the thick nectar using miniature sized silver or crystal spoons.

Thomas Jefferson stocked his wine cellar with several cases of Tokaji each year. Composers Liszt, Schubert, Strauss and Wagner oftentimes celebrated the public releases of new compositions by hosting parties that featured Tokaji. The royal families of England, as well as the Habsburgs, owned several vineyards that produced Tokaji exclusively for their courts. Czarina Theresa Petronova of Russia so loved the wine that she had a company of troops stationed in the Tokaji region to protect her personal stock from thieves. Louis XIV of France was enamored with essencia and is credited with originating the phrase: ‘Tokaji, The King of Wines, The Wine of Kings!”

The Tokaji region has been producing wine since the 1300s, but it was not until Chaplain Laczkó Szepsi perfected the process of harvesting botrytised grapes that the first ever Aszú was produced and given as an Easter gift to Prince Rákóczi’s wife Zsuzsanna Lorantffy in 1631.

Finding Tokaji wine may be a challenge but several online merchants can be found by conducting a Google search.

There are 20 clues in the January 2017 wordsearch. Each clue is the name of a particular winery that produces Tokaji Aszú and the names of the villages or towns they are located. Good luck, stay warm, BUÉK and see you in February.

The answers to the December 2016 puzzle ingredient list are as follows:

The savory recipe is for “Chicken Liver Noodle Pudding,” from Jolié Gabor’s Cookbook, page 49.

The sweet is for ‘‘Raspberry Whipped Cream Torte” (Tejszínhabos Málnatorta), from The Hungarian Cookbook, published by the Culinary Arts Institute in Chicago, page 48.
