While in Olomouc (yet another Czech town) we went to a local wine bar. Olomouc is in Moravia so there is a strong pride in wine and wine bars. We ordered a massive cheese platter that had particularly good blue cheese and young feta among many others. I ordered medovina, or honey wine, to drink. To make honey wine, they add honey to the wine before the fermentation process begins. The result is a slightly sweet wine with a really flavorful kick. Usually it is served warm, and many times there are different flavors that they infuse into the medovina. Since they were out of cinnamon I was given the house flavor, monastery. It was perfect for a cold night, the nice kick of the fermented honey sends a warming wave right through you.
