The Second Glass

Hungary - $9

Back-to-back weeks of obscure wine recommendations? Although you probably have never heard of these grapes we assure you they are widely distributed. Plus, they’re hella cheap! We’ve decided, given the current state of things, that we’ll be hooking our readers up with info on least expensive, most badass wines possible. When it’s time to splurge we’ll throw some baller wine your way but, in the mean time, you can down a glass of this great Hungarian white while you attempt to pronounce ‘Királyleányka.’

It goes like this: Kee-rye-lay-ohn-kha and it’s a widely planted grape in Hungry. It tastes something between a Sauvignon Blanc and a Chenin Blanc with some Viognier action going on. At $9, this makes a perfect cocktail wine. Smelling of honey and those Nestle orange push-up pops it’s incredibly easy to drink. So easy, in fact, we highly suggest buying two or three bottles at a time.

Drink this with mildly spicy Asian take-out, salmon and mashed potatoes or just sip while handing out candy to trick or treaters!
