Wine of my life
I may remember from school that it was the Romans, who established wine in Moravia. Some of you may even remember that it was their Xth Legion and then that the industry grew and flourished under the Great Moravian Empire. What I do remember quite well, however, is when, in the early 1990s, on the verge of my adulthood, things began to become clear to me. Yeah, that too. But also other things started to make sense - for example, why my dad kept bringing home the same wines from the same winemaker. For any family celebration, event or occasion … he always bought wines from the Mikulov region, always Dolní Dunajovice. At first ZOD and then Mikrosvín. It was always Mikrosvín and its oenologist Josef Peřina, whose wine was on our table. My dad used to call it “a safe bet”. Occasionally, there was an opportunity to taste (somewhere else), something different, which a host called wine – sometimes I would rather say “wine”. And I got the meaning of his words. So, the Welschriesling, Pinot Blanc or Chardonnay from the limestone vineyards of Pálava and Mikrosvín have taught me how to love wine.
I guess it's fate and today I stand on the other side. With full respect I have become a part of the history of Mikrosvín Mikulov Winery. I have just continued to develop a rich history, working with great people. I have the opportunity to work on the best vineyards in this country and I finally sell amazing wines that have also become a "sure bet" in thousands of homes, businesses, restaurants or even clubs. I sell Mikrosvín Mikulov wine. The wine of my life.
