Patricius Wines of Tokaj Prove to be Golden in U.S. Wine Ratings and Competitions
Patricius Winery of Tokaj, Hungary continues to showcase outstanding quality and was recently awarded 'Hungary, Winery of the Year" by the New York International Wine Competition (NYIWC). The wines also recently received excellent ratings from major publications such as Wine & Spirits Magazine.
NEW YORK, July 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- "Katinka" Noble Late Harvest 2012 was one of only six wines in the NYIWC to be awarded a Double Gold medal. Unlike other wine competitions, the NYIWC judges are strictly trade buyers, located in the New York Metro area.
