October has been declared as Georgian wine months in the US; today New York City hosted a special Georgian wine tasting day where wine-lovers had the opportunity to taste an array of wines made from Georgia’s indigenous grapes. Guests were also able to compare these varieties produced in both modern and traditional (Qvevri) production styles.
Wines from 22 big and small Georgian producers, including several wineries who made their US debut, were poured into glasses in New York. Each tasting was preceded by a limited-seating seminar and tutored tasting on Georgian wine and wine culture.
