We visited this winery, a must visit for us on every trip, 26 days ago, and tasted Peter Kocsis' wines with him and his wife, Livia. Outside the winery is a stone archway, perfect for a picture. Peter's is the most inventive winery I've ever visited. he combines ice wines with surprising flavors and many of them work well. I remember liking his sweet wines a little better at our last visit. Peter was kind enough to donate some of his wines to the June, 2002 offline in NYC. The wines:
