Wine tasting, Hungarian style
She says: After a crazy night train experience (the night trains in Spain must have spoiled me), Mom and I arrived in Eger. We planned to spend an afternoon and enjoy what the town is best known for - the quaint wine caves, in which you can taste (and buy) inexpensive local wine. After finally finding a place to store our bags, and freshening up a …
