Take a quick trip back in time

Wilson-Daniels Ltd is a Napa Valley-based company that provides sales and marketing support for some top winemaking properties -- among them Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. The company has commissioned a series of short films designed to tell the story of some of their more interesting clients. The subject of the first is Hungary's Royal Tokaji Wine Company, the source, from the early seventeenth century on, of wines so superbly sweet, rich, and expensive only Royals could enjoy them.

The film emphasizes the recovery of the property under a group of investors who purchased the property after the fall of communism in 1989, so there's less on the process of making this remarkable wine than one would wish. All the same, it's beautifully shot and makes for a lovely 4 minute excursion to a dreamy place that seems far removed from anything subprime.
