Slovakia does need an introduction. Where is it? It's really the start of Eastern Europe, being bordered by Austria to the West and the Czech Republic, then surrounded by Ukraine, Poland and Hungary. On January 1, 1993 its federation with the Czech Rebulic was finally officially dissolved and it became an independent sovereign state. Slovakia produces a truly great wine, although most wine drinkers would be familiar with it through its Hungarian expression: Tokay. The Tokajsky wine from Slovakia has its historical roots in the Tokaj wine region, a small part of which was originally within the Kingdom of Hungary.
