2013 Evolucio Furmint
(Tokaji, Hungary)
Over in aisle 7, tucked in
an amongst Greek and
South American wines
lives one of my favorite
white wines in our store.
Evolucio Furmint is a dry,
Noelle Starr
mineral-driven white
from Tokaji, Hungary that flies under
almost everyone’s wine radar. Mention
Hungarian wine and most often people
think of their famous (& expensive!)
dessert wines, but thankfully they also
produce delightful dry whites from the
Furmint grape in these parts. Tokaji,
located in the northeast of Hungary, is
one of the world’s oldest designated
wine regions with boundaries set in the
mid-1700s. The volcanic nature of the
soil found here and the extreme
continental climate develops perfumed
wines with a stony, bright personality.
Evolucio Furmint is unoaked and full of
citrus, flint, lime zest, green apple…
totally clean flavors. Perfect paired with
another favorite of mine, Fleur Verte, an
herb- coated fresh goat cheese available
right next door! The flavors will put you
in a spring-like state of mind. I don’t
know about you, but is exactly what I
need right now. #105966

2014 Alexis Bailly
Seyval Blanc
(Minnesota)
At Surdyk’s, we have seen
the explosion of locallymade
artisan beers and
recently hand-crafted Drew Fuller
spirits from local
distilleries. Clearly, the farm-to-table
trend has extended from food to drink,
but it really began long before these
recent trends with the emergence of
wines made from 100% Minnesota
grown grapes. The winery that started it
all is Alexis Bailly Vineyards, whose
founder David Bailly planted Minnesota’s
first vineyard in 1973. I have enormous
respect for David Bailly and his daughter
Nan for taking a huge risk and doing
what most experts considered
impossible, which was to grow grapes
and make fine wine in one of the
harshest winter climates in the
agricultural world. Through careful
research, innovative farming, and
winemaking techniques, David produced
wines that have been recognized for
numerous regional and international
quality awards. One of Alexis Bailly’s
white wines that I love is the 2014 Seyval
Blanc, which is named for the French
horticulturist who developed the variety
during WWI, and which David hoped
could survive the harsh MN winter.
Fortunately, David’s intuition proved
correct, Seyval Blanc thrived, and is now
Alexis Bailly’s premium dry white wine. It
shows bright, crisp citrus fruit, lively
acidity, and a dry, elegant finish. This
wine will pair perfectly with lighter meals
like salads, grilled chicken and pan-fried
fish, goat cheese, as well as garlicky
pesto. I heartily recommend that you try
this wonderful wine, which serves as a
great example of the quality of
Minnesota grown and produced wines.
Cheers! #96465
