i. Biography
Since 1998, Szentesi József has worked as winemaker at Szentesi Pince in Budaörs. That fixed address matters here: the work has been tied to one place long enough for repetition, seasonal rhythm, and familiarity with the site to become part of the craft itself. In 2013, Borászok Borásza marked that continuity with formal recognition.
At a Glance Two dates frame the record: 1998, when Szentesi József began working at Szentesi Pince in Budaörs, and 2013, when he received Borászok Borásza. Between them sits a career defined by consistency rather than movement, with value placed on staying with one cellar long enough to read its character well. The quoted line associated with him is plain and social in tone: it places wine in the company of friends, and in the shifting settings of summer and winter.

In Their Words “In summer under the walnut tree, in winter by the fireplace, I sip it with friends.” The line is direct, and it treats wine as something made for use, not display. It locates the glass in ordinary seasonal settings: shade in summer, heat in winter, and friends around both.
