For more on this growth trend, go here for the full release. The quality and diversity of Georgian wine now available in the US continues to grow.  Visitors to the tasting will be able to sample a broad range including:

Traditional Qvevri Wines in Amber and Red Styles

It was with these highly distinctive wines that Georgia first caught the attention of the world. The category has developed to include both ‘natural’ wines, as well as examples that combine the intriguing character of qvevri wine with contemporary accessibility.

Classic Dry Whites

There’s more to Georgia than qvevri wine, and there will be many examples of the lively, delicately perfumed, textured dry whites. 

Classic Dry Reds

Delicious dry reds from Saperavi and other indigenous grapes will be presented, ranging from the juicy, unoaked medium-bodied to the intense, tannic and age-worthy.

Sparkling and Pet-Nat

And let’s not forget one of the newest categories to emerge from Georgia!

Wines will be poured for wineries showcasing their wines for the first time in the market as they seek representation as well as importers/distributors who will be presenting current wines available in the market.

Thanks to our friends at Chama Mama who will be providing everyone’s favorite Khachapuri, breads with Adjika, Pkhali, and various other Georgian delights.
