Paprika Store Green Lanes, London

 

On a visit to The Dusty Knuckle's wonderful Green Lanes Bakery/Cafe/Pizza restaurant, we spied this shop opposite. Always a succer for Hungarian produce we took a look and found...

masses of Hungarian wine, We can't think of anywhere else you can buy such a range: Bock, Gere, Thummerer, Torley, Varga - you name it. Even better, Paprika is part of a chain with branches in Bristol, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Twickenham and even Dublin.

and wine is not the only thing

Such a large selection and so little time. Our table at The Dusty Knuckle was waiting.

So the easiest and for our taste best choice was to get Portugiesers from Bock and Gere at wonderfully affordable prices.

Some time ago we worked out that Portugieser may have been the grape of the Voslau which was where Vienna got its red wine from in his day. 

Nothing better than to think of the great man when quaffing this Portugieser even if what he really wanted to drink was Rhein Riesling from his native Bonn.
