What’s up with the four flags outside your winery?

We used to fly only the Austrian flag, since most of our vines are of Austrian origin (our family name, Leitner, is too but that’s just a coincidence).  We added the Hungarian flag because many Austrian grapes also grow in Hungary and some may actually be Hungarian (like the winemaker’s wife).  We then added the American flag so the winemaker’s children would understand that they were actually Americans, not Central Europeans.  Finally, we added the Polish flag in honor of the many Poles whose integrity, work ethic, skill and dedication helped us create this from the ground up.
