Although the population numbers wavered over time, the small Jewish community continued to thrive in the region, building their own autonomous community with the freedom to practice their religion. Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, up until the start of World War I, there was a large German, Jewish population in the town of Mikulov, where the villagers worked in small trades and crafts.

I knew immediately when planning my series that I wanted Michaela to take part, as she is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about Tanzberg’s wines and winery operations.īefore I continue, I must include a bit of history to catch everyone up to speed. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to visit their winery in Mikulov, and have become an enthusiastic fan of their wines. Seated next to me was Michaela Lasotová, the sommelier at Tanzberg.
I am truly honored to have these winemakers and wine professionals trust me to share their stories, and I am on a mission to share these wines with the world.Ī few months later, I was invited to be a judge for the Grand Prix Austerlitz Wine Competition in Brno, held by Moravská Banka Vín at the Hlinky Palace. If you were not able to catch my live interviews, here is a recap of who I spoke with and what I tasted. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to host my series, ‘Moravia Makes Wine,’ as I feel it is vital for the consumers to understand the history of the region, in order to better appreciate the wines. Although records show vines dating back to the 14th century, the modern winemaking industry is roughly thirty years old, as the end of Communism brought with it a Moravian wine revolution. Additionally, the history of the area is incredibly rich, and vintners are fully aware of their responsibility to preserve this lengthy history. Truth be told, this is a tiny wine region in Central Europe, yet is one that offers the consumer a vast range of premium and quality options, each crafted to reflect their own unique style and their own flavor profile. I must admit, having this opportunity to explore and learn about the wine world of Moravia has been phenomenal.
