In the quiet depths of the cellar, I always find peace. Sometimes all it takes is the scent, the silence, the intimacy — other times it's the flavors and the company that transport me from this rushing world to another, a much better place. We may say it so often it's become a bit of a cliché: our cellar is an “underground heaven” — but it truly is. The cellar and the wine have a soul, just like a family. That’s what makes a family winery so different from a larger winemaking operation. From the grape harvest to the wine itself, we put our heart and soul into everything — to create something better, something that encourages people to slow down, stop for a moment, rest, and reflect on what makes life worth living. To enjoy life a little more, to care for one another. To pay attention to family, friends, to what they have to say — and to what we aim to share through our wine: a drop of cheer, joy, pleasure, peace, intimacy, and radiance. And most importantly, faith. Faith that our work has meaning. That the vintage will be beautiful. That our guests will enjoy our wines, that they’ll love our cellars — and to feel that nothing is impossible for us, because the good Lord holds our hands. We only need to set the goal — and He will help us find the way. But along the way, it feels good to raise a glass of Tokaji with good people in a good place, and sometimes, simply to find peace.
