Wine Cellars
Start with 100mL glasses; you may swallow more than you think you can drink. The correct order for sampling a half-dozen Tokaj wines is Furmint, dry Szamorodni, sweet Szamorodni and then the Aszú wines - from three to five or four to six puttony (a measure of Aszú essence added to base wines in making Tokaj; for more information). Private Wine Cellars (Tokaj) offering tastings (usually 16:00 to 21:00) are scattered throughout town, including those at Rákóczi Ferenc út 2, Óvári utca Nos 3, 6, and 8, and Bem József utca Nos 2 and 16
