All over the
world the wine harvest is reaching its peak. The days are becoming
much shorter and the scent of the winter is high on the wind. And,
the bringing in of the wine is a time of great joy. And, in the
Hungarian wine lands it is celebrated in a traditionally interesting
way! Mulatsag Bors.
And the
Mulatsag Bors (Wine celebration) involves beautiful home-made corn
dollies. And, tradition says that these larger than life and
impressive corn dollies not only protect the harvest, but magically
become the soul and the spirit of the future wine, too!
And, that's
why many Hungarian wine farmers still practice this ancient
tradition. And now, at this time of year, there are many corn dollies
to be seen, and this is good so. Maybe, there is some truth in the
power of this custom. I believe so. Hungarian wine, after-all, is up
at the top with the best. And, the Hungarian soul feels very much
better after one or two glasses.
Your very
good health, or, as the Hungarians would say, Ageszsegedre.
