Small Wine Maker winery, the winery of František and Hana Mádl
Rubrika: Tourism
2 4 2010The village of Velké Bílovice is situated in the south-eastern corner of the Velké Pavlovice wine making area. It is a traditional wine making village with vast vineyards accounting for the area of over 800 hectares and being the largest of its kind in the Czech Republic. By 1 May 2005 there were 933 wine makers here. The composition of the soil for vine growing is made up by windblown dusty particles with chalky clay underneath. In some areas with lower altitude the soil is a lot darker. This soil variety provides good conditions for growing the majority of wines, both white and red, red wines being of full body and pleasant bouquet.

Greyhounds on a race track
18 9 2009Lenka Malinovská has got devout companions. She is mostly surrounded by Arab greyhounds on a race track in Lednice. She thinks of Sloughi as of a man friendly animal that can look up to her as being somewhat artistic. It is there for a person that does not require strict obedience maintained by silly drill exercises and expressing their own dominance.

Feel the atmosphere of a real Moravian “zabijačka”
Rubrika: Tourism
12 9 2009The god of gluttony Bakchus watches over Moravian traditions. The European Union was going to make this tradition illegal, but those who worship unhealthy eating habits won. What does “zabijačka” in Moravia look like today? Same as it has been for the past centuries. On a cold drizzly morning, usually in December, the butcher and his helpers get the pig ready for its last journey. A quick death, then stirring the blood with a bit of vinegar to stop it coagulating; cleaning, scraping and burning off bristles; the brain with eggs for breakfast. Heart, liver and head are boiled in a cauldron. Cutlets and ham are left to cool down. Cooked meat and offal are processed to make special sausages (jitrnice), haggis and aspic. Mixed with blood, blood sausages or black pudding are made. Lard is fried to make pork scratchings. What a delicacy! Still warm, with a pinch of salt and some home made schnapps.
